Barely Breathing Verse: You always walk away when things are getting heavy You always walk away when things are too rough I'm always left behind just carrying your baggage You're just a little boy who never grew up But, Oh, where you going now? Chorus: You put it on me, You put it on me When it all goes wrong, You put it on me You put it on me, You put it on me When it all goes down, You put it on me When I needed a friend, you put it on me When I needed someone... When I asked you for help, you put it on me Now I am done, and you can't put it on me Verse 2: You always smile at me when you're up to something But I can see the truth behind your lyin' eyes You always come at me with your cheap excuses All of those things I've heard about a million times But, Oh, not this time. Chorus: You put it on me, You put it on me When it all goes wrong, You put it on me You put it on me, You put it on me When it all goes down, You put it on me When I needed a friend, you put it on me When I needed someone... When I asked you for help, you put it on me Now I am done, and you can't put it on me Bridge: Barely breathing, suffocating in a frozen wasteland Barely breathing, hardly seeing who you were Can't take a breath Barely breathing, suffocating in a frozen wasteland Barely breathing, hardly seeing who you were Can't take a breath

That Girl is Gone Verse #1 Frustration, aggravation with the situation that you've fallen into You say you love her, always thinking of her. Wait 'till you find out what she's gonna do You say she's perfect, you say she's worth it, but she ain't happy playing house with you. The look in your eyes when you realize she's not gonna make your dreams come true Chorus That girl is going, going, going. That girl is going (there she goes), going (there she goes), going (there she goes). She's gone. Everyone but you can see, There's some place she'd rather be. She's gone, and I'm stuck here breaking the news but there's nothing left that you can do. She's going, going, going, going, that girl is gone. Verse #2 Frustration, aggravation, this how this is going down. You always put yourself out there, she's always letting you down. And you're a braver heart than I will ever be. But, baby, let's face reality. Chorus That girl is going, going, going. That girl is going (there she goes), going (there she goes), going (there she goes). She's gone. Everyone but you can see, There's some place she'd rather be. She's gone, and I'm stuck here breaking the news but there's nothing left that you can do. She's going, going, going, going, that girl is gone.

One Red Minute 04:58

One Red Minute Verse #1 He was a city boy, slipped out of Cleveland one step ahead of the law. Finally made his way out to LA, was gonna be a rock star. And he played: She was a Cali girl, hotter than the Mojave sands, with kisses that tasted like stars. He was a jealous boy, she loved attention 'till one night it went too far. Chorus And in one red minute, his world came crashing down. And in one red minute, crashing down, crashing down And in one red minute, his world came crashing down. And in one red minute, crashing down, crashing down Verse #2 Now he lives in hell, in a 10 foot cell. Alone with his memories all day. No life behind him, with nothing left ahead. Just remembering the times when he played, And he played: He always sees it, that one red minute, every time he closes his eyes. Her look of passion, turned into fear, she saw the weapon in his hands Repeat Chorus

Verse #1 We've been talking for hours We killed a couple bottles of wine The party's finally dying and we've had such a wonderful time I should've seen this coming You've been nervous all night sending out your signals I should've known what was on your mind Pre-chorus Oh no! Now you're scooting closer Oh no! Now you're making your move And I say... Chorus Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Cause, if you try to kiss me You're really gonna freak me out Verse #2 We've been friends forever I dated your brother junior year My mom was your third grade teacher you and I would be too weird Pre-chorus Oh no! Now you're moving in closer Oh no! I'm gonna have to shut you down And I say... Chorus Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Cause, if you try to kiss me You're really gonna freak me out Spoken word Hey dude, you're a really cool guy you're funny, you're cute and I'm sure you're a good boyfriend but we have a lot of history together and I've never really thought of you “that way” I mean, it's just like you're just like a brother to me... Chorus Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Please don't try to kiss me (please don't try to kiss me) Cause, if you try to kiss me You're really gonna freak me out

Verse: She had gold and diamonds, She had everything. Her life was shining, shining Oh yeah, but she didn't have love, no love He had money and power, World upon a string He was sittin' on millions, millions Oh yeah, but he didn't have love, no love Chorus: Hold on baby, what we have is strong I won't lose it, I won't lose it Cause this love's better than ever before I won't lose it, I won't lose it If the choice is money or love I will chose it, I will chose it I chose love, I chose love Verse: She was always in motion, She was movin' up. New York and then Chicago, Oh yeah, but she didn't have love, no love He was sitting in his ivory tower always looking down but he didn't have love, no love Chorus: Hold on baby, what we have is strong I won't lose it, I won't lose it Cause this love's better than ever before I won't lose it, I won't lose it If the choice is money or love I will chose it, I will chose it I chose love, I chose love Instrumental break Chorus: Hold on baby, what we have is strong I won't lose it, I won't lose it Cause this love's better than ever before I won't lose it, I won't lose it If the choice is money or love I will chose it, I will chose it I chose love, I chose love

Verse #1 You're dressed so sexy Ms. Crandle You're wearing the oldest disguise What are you looking for Ms. Crandle? Something has caught your eye. You think you're staring at salvation with broad shoulders and electric eyes, but you've misplaced your affection. You need to turn it inside. Chorus Excuse me Ms. Crandle but you're not equipped to handle this grown up life that you think you want. You're schoolgirl dreams are nice, but they come at a heavy price. So, be careful, be careful. I think you're headed the wrong way. Verse #2 You're looking desperate Ms. Crandle. Your moment is slipping away. And I know, and I know, and I know you think it's never gonna come again, but Ms. Crandle, tomorrow's another day. Chorus Excuse me Ms. Crandle but you're not equipped to handle this grown up life that you think you want. You're schoolgirl dreams are nice, but they come at a heavy price. So, be careful, be careful. I think you're headed the wrong way. Bridge No more teachers, no more books that's what makes you worry. The future's coming fast enough. Ms. Crandle, what's your hurry? Chorus Excuse me Ms. Crandle but you're not equipped to handle this grown up life that you think you want. You're schoolgirl dreams are nice, but they come at a heavy price. So, be careful, be careful. I think you're headed the wrong way.

Verse #1 You promised us you were thinking of our future. And you promised us you were acting in our interest. But your promises were false and hollow. And now we've learned our lesson, we don't trust you anymore. 'Cause we are the members, Chorus We are the members of the, the newest nation, and we are tired of you standing in our way. You are the source of all our anger and frustration, so believe us when we say, That we the members, we the members of the, the newest nation, we know this to be true, that we will leave our mark upon this nation, and we'll damn sure do a better job than you. 'Cause we are the members. Verse #2 You lied to us when you told us life was easy And you lied to us and said we'd never lose. Well, aren't you tired of lying? (Aren't you tired of lying?) Aren't you tired of lying? (Aren't you tired of lying?) And don't you understand that we're not listening anymore? 'Cause we are the members. Chorus We are the members of the, the newest nation, and we are tired of you standing in our way. You are the source of all our anger and frustration, so believe us when we say, That we the members, we the members of the, the newest nation, we know this to be true, that we will leave our mark upon this nation, and we'll damn sure do a better job than you. 'Cause we are the members.

Class V 05:17

Verse 1: You're like a bull in a china shop. You're like a class V hurricane. You're a walking natural disaster. I get the feeling that you're never gonna change. Well, I'm done with the reconstruction, the charity and the camera crews. This feels like the same old story. This feels like the same old news. Chorus: Stop. Don't go there. Wait, don't go that way. I, I'm always picking up the pieces, cleaning up the mess you made. Oh, the mess you made. Verse 2: Well, you never see the devastation, the broken things that you leave behind. I've seen the looks on your victim's faces, eyes glazed over like they wanna die. I could use some springtime sunshine, I could use some skies of blue. Next time that you're storming and raging, better think about what you're gonna lose. Chorus: Stop. Don't go there. Wait, don't go that way. I, I'm always picking up the pieces, cleaning up the mess you made. Oh, the mess you made. Bridge: The storm awaits. The storm awaits. I see raindrops. I hear thunder, falling from the clearer sky. I see raindrops. I hear thunder, falling from the clearer sky. Chorus: Stop. Don't go there. Wait, don't go that way. I, I'm always picking up the pieces, cleaning up the mess you made. Oh, the mess you made.
