All We Know

This is a song of freedom
Of living life by our own rules
The words are short and simple
It’s got four chords and whoa oh ohs
It’s about us chasing our dreams
About who we are and how we roll
You can call us crazy
But we don’t care
No no no
Shake your heads
Cast your doubts
We ain’t going nowhere
We won’t back down
‘Cause we stay true
Through high and low
This is all we know
Go ahead and keep your old views
Your mainstream life
Your dos and don’ts
Won’t see us caught it that game
But you can find us at the show
Strike us down
Box us out
We’ll always have each other
We won’t back down
‘Cause we stay true
Through high and low
This is all we know

It's Thursday night I'm seeing
I'm all alone and dreaming about
All the things we cld have done tonight
It's alright
I'm wondering what your doing
Probably out there screwing mr right
Tattoos and booze, against me on the stereo, tuned high.
I know we said it's over, but can I still come over....
Cause these feelings won't subside
Good or bad, we just can't hide
We can't say I love you but we do.
I broke your heart, you broke mine too
What else is there left to do
Can't say I love you but we do.
So tell me where you are now
I don't care if youre out with some guy, you can call me up and soon I'll be standing there at your side.
Just come on back to my place
We can watch the office and embrace the fact that this is how we both would rather spend our time
I know we said it's over, but is it really over?
Cause these feelings won't subside
Good or bad, we just can't hide
We wont say I love you but we do.
The past is past, nothing to lose,
Let go of all that we've been through,
l never said I love you but I do.

Love Song
03:12

This is a love song I wrote for you
But don’t flatter yourself
‘Cause this goes out to all the girls I knew
That gave me heartache
That made me blue
That made me sit at home singing sad love songs instead of hanging out with the crew or seeing my friends
To grab a slice or two
You left me in the cold for one more rum and coke and all that other shit you put me through
This is love song
I spent some long nights
Pining in my room
Going on and on about what went wrong and how to make it up to you
And impress your friends
As if I had to prove myself
But that’s all past
They can kiss my ass
Come to think of it so can you
This is a love song
These are the words I wrote to try and find a way to cope
This is a love song
These are the words I sing of the lingering feelings I once felt for you
Don’t think I’m clueless to how it all went down
How you’d bat your eyes through all those lies just to keep me hanging around
But that’s all over
I won’t get fooled again
So to all the broads that broke my heart know it’s your loss in the end
This is a love song

Take Me Back

We were young
Life was still in front of us, man
no looking back then
Times were tough
We kept our hope, we kept our word
we put our faith in our friends
So hard to let it go
so hard to leave it in the past
Hard to put it all behind me
hard to except it did not last
I want to live it all again
I wouldn't change a goddamned thing
I'm reaching out can someone help me, and...
Take me back to summers running numbers out w Tommy
Take me back to late nights spinning records down on spring street
Take me back to stage dives hardcore matinees at CBs
Take me back
Those years are gone, we moved on
we moved out, were on our own
Tim fled west, Johns always on tour
Stan had kids, they found Mike dead on his floor
Soo hard to let it go
so hard to leave it in the past
Hard to put it all behind me,
hard to except it did not last
I miss that life, I miss those days
a young hearts freedom, a thinkers pain,
just bring back Rob and Jiun and Sway and...
Take me back high school, skating by myself till midnight,
Take me back to running around Venice past the sunrise,
Take me back and lie, just tell me everything is alright
Take me back
Take me back to summers running numbers out w Tommy
Take me back to late nights spinning records down on spring street
Take me back to stage dives hardcore matinees at CBs
Take me back
Take me back to grassroots, 7A, and lunch at Curlys
Take me back to live bands, all my best friends at 8020,
Take me back before that life got lost to distant memory
Take me back, just take me back just take me back

Here in the county of Kings
That’s where it all went down
Paesans and Puerto Ricans
Back when this was still our town
They tried to drag me out
But I still found my way home
Forever Brooklyn Bound
Over that Verrazano
I’ll live and die in New York
The summer’s hot as hell
The winter’s frozen cold
The rent will break your bank
The noise will shake your bones
The struggle keeps us real
The struggle sets us apart
To be New York tough
You need that New York heart
I live and die and in New York

Gone Tonight
02:54

I know that look that’s in your eye
I’ve seen that look before a thousand times
That look that says it’s time
It’s time to say goodbye
But this time ‘round don’t stop and look behind
‘Cause I’m gone tonight
Go ahead and grab your bag
It’s right there on the floor
Don’t need to sit and hear your insults anymore
I know it’s crazy but honey you know it’s true
I just can’t live with you so I’m gone
I’m gone tonight
Don’t be dramatic
That’s not why you called
The cards the clothes the rings
You can keep them all
No I don’t think we’ll be back together this fall
No girl this time I’m not kidding
I’m not at all
I know it’s crazy but honey you know it’s true
I just can’t live with you so I’m gone
I’m gone tonight

Mama

I saw that look upon your face
That memory will never be erased
But he can’t hurt you now
His time is running out
Good parents never act that way
So mama rest your tired heart
These feelings, they won’t last for long
Mama don’t be scared
Mama I’m almost there
You are not alone
I’m coming home
So Mama dry your crying eyes
Leave all that pain behind
Cause he can’t hurt you now
His time is running out
You can say bye to those days
Please Mama it’ll be okay
Put down the phone
I’m on my way
Mama don’t be scared
Mama I’m almost there
You are not alone
I’m coming home

You Walked Away
05:27
|

|
Four years the high hopes of our youth
Nothing to prove
Four years we live we love we learn that
Some dreams never do come true
Those days are over
But the memory carries on
Pain and promise left behind remind me
Of how everything went wrong
You walked away, I walked alone
I’ll find my own road, I’ll make it home
You walked away, I walked alone
You said goodbye, I said so long
A lot’s been said
Setbacks and lies won’t stop me
Full speed ahead
Gotta keep moving on
You walked away, I walked alone
I’ll find my own road, I’ll make it home
You walked away, I walked alone
You said goodbye, I said so long
Don’t stop don’t stop
Left out to dry, abandoned
Don’t stop don’t stop
I lost the battle but I’ll win the war
True grit’s what matters
And I got a hell of a lot more
You walked away, I walked alone

10 years old
Jerry Lee ripped through my stereo
Right from that first note
My heart belonged to blue jeans, tattoos, and rock ‘n’ roll
...belongs to rock ‘n’ roll
Mama it’s ok
Dad it’s not a phase
I know I’m getting old
But my heart belongs to rock ‘n’ roll
...belongs to rock ‘n’ roll
I’ve been in love
I’ve seen the world but there’s one place
That I call home
It lies with drums
And power chords in songs about
Girls and rock ‘n’ roll
Ladies it’s too late
Eddie stole my fate
I know this story’s been told
But my heart belongs to rock ‘n’ roll
...belongs to rock ‘n’ roll

Yeah I know it’s been bad these days
Trying to pick yourself up from the floor
Highs and lows
You’ve tried a thousand ways
To try and make sense of it all
Forget what they say
They’ll never last
They’ll never get past themselves
It’s getting late but
But I’ll stay here by your side
Through the long lonely night
If it helps
Life’s gripped you by the throat
Makes it hard to breath
Hard to sleep
Hard to cope
You should know that you’ve not changed
Through the thick and the think of it all
You still glow just like you did
Back before all you had fell apart
Just look ahead
These years spent in doubt
Just tend to work out in the end
So keep your head and I’ll be here
You can count brother
I’ll stick it out till the end
Life’s gripped you by the throat
Makes it hard to breath
Hard to sleep
Hard to cope
[But still I hope you know
You can dream you can scream
You can hope]
Stand by me, I’ll stand by you
