I’m just living the dream, getting back on my feet, Appreciating finer things, the finer things And I’m just living the dream, clinging onto my seat Leading on my enemies when I should have killed them (I should have killed them) And I’m just having some fun ‘cause this whole town is just done If nothing at all, if nothing at all (I know I’ll always have my friends) Statistically, you’re just one of three that I hope burn in hell, burn in hell with me And we all know that you’ll change your tone When you’re crying to your girlfriend through a message on her phone ‘cause You don’t know what you’re talking about I can’t believe a word that comes out of your mouth (it’s like this) This is easy when you just don’t give a fuck You don’t know what you’re talking about You’re dependent on the kind of things that never made much sense to me Like scratching your leather, and Never Shout Never until my ears bleed You can’t get to me. No, you can’t get to me that easily I don’t even hear you speak. I don’t even hear you I would die before I’d let you call me out I would die, but I’ll see the end of the world You don’t know what you’re talking about I can’t believe a word that comes out of your mouth (it’s like this) This is easy when you just don’t give a fuck You don’t know what you’re talking about

It was the cigarettes and alcohol that picked the tempo up when she let it fall Or it could’ve been the sing-alongs or breaking the law that taught me everything that I can’t recall Just like a quake in the ground, we pick this up and turn this place straight upside, upside down So tonight, this one’s for us and all you’re gonna be is another drink I shouldn’t take, but that’s alright with me I’ll bet you’re home alone. Oh, I could see how you’d try to figure out what this song could mean (This is your calling out song) They’re in, you’re out. What’s so hard about that? You had your chance, and they had my back (And you can tell the whole town) We break it down until the morning comes around I’ve learned my lesson for tonight It’s circumstantial, overbearing in the worst way You make me feel like a Monday My disease is a one-way street to the city of destruction and the state of my disfunction Was it wrong to expect anything less? Everything that you do is suspicious Was it wrong to expect anything less? And you can tell the whole town I’ve learned my lesson for tonight It’s circumstantial, overbearing in the worst way You make me feel like a Monday

When you said never again, I didn’t know you were serious It seems typical for us to act this way I never said I was perfect, ‘cause I’ve made my fair share of mistakes Please talk to me, say anything Like I’m a stupid fucking kid who didn’t know what he had until he threw it all away And now I’m starting to think as the seasons change the cold winds stay with me She’s packing up Vegas bound for the late night raves, cocaine and ecstasy And now I’m starting to feel like you put me out, ‘cause now I can’t pay the rent I’m calling in favors from friends who never owed me shit. You said you knew a lot of people, but you didn’t tell me how It seems typical for you to leave that out You never said you were perfect and that was what I was all about Please don’t speak, don’t say anything I’m not awake, but I’m alive. I’m just a figment of your stereo. And now I’m starting to think as the seasons change the cold winds stay with me She’s packing up, Vegas bound, for the late night raves, cocaine and ecstasy And now I’m starting to feel like you put me out, ‘cause now I can’t pay the rent I’m calling in favors from friends who never owed me shit. How was your trip when you went from town to town? What was it like to be constantly brought down and used, a piece of me to pass around the van? What was it like to be the poster for the band?

I am calm and content I am selfish, I’m a wreck As the time plays tricks on me again It’s the change in the seasons (it’s the thrill of the fight) That always seems to bring me home for the moment or forever Then I could hardly believe my eyes I saw a man with a dream, I saw myself in disguise He said “if you could count on me, I could lead you through this life” It’s not easy to tell when I don’t know you that well to think that you could be the better part of me I am all that I have, I am all that I need I am everything you don’t want to be And I’ve never had a problem under pressure but the last few years of silence made me blame it on the weather It’s a doubt in the reason why faces all around me fade (for the moment or forever) what about the friends I’ve made? I could hardly believe my eyes. I saw a man with a dream, I saw myself through my eyes. He said “if you could count on me, I could lead you through this life” It’s not easy to tell when I don’t know you that well to think that you could be the better part of me And there’s no other excuse (it must be, it must be) And there’s no other excuse (it must be, it must be) It’s the change in the seasons, it’s the thrill of the fight “If you could count on me, I could lead you through this life” It’s not easy to tell when I don’t know you that well to think that you could be the better part of me

I’m begging for anyone in sight I’ll lie awake, and you just sleep tonight It’s dangerous to make a commitment to myself, or anyone Elsewhere is all she talks about, But there’s not enough ways to get her out of this country or at least my life I tried to cut her out, but dropped the knife She makes scenes like Hollywood She drags them out, she drags them out She makes scenes like Hollywood, She makes them count, makes them count And it just takes time to heal, And all she said is “I’m afraid to feel anything more than this, and I’m sorry” I never believed her. It’s all just fucking lies It’s all just fucking lies I’m begging for anyone in sight, But I guess I’ll just settle for you tonight. She makes scenes like Hollywood She drags them out, she drags them out She makes scenes like Hollywood She makes them count, makes them count

These fucking kids are driving me insane They’re taking credit like they own the place I’ve got a secret that I’ll tell you right now If you can’t hear me, then I’ll sing it out loud Now everybody just gets to me It’s like a loudmouth, back row yelling at the movies And if reality gets hard to bear, You need to find someone who fucking cares When reputation’s all you have in this town, will it pick you up, or will it take you Downtown ready to go, it’s not a show It’s not a front, it’s all we know Who’s taking the stand? Who’s taking the fall? Who’s taking the stand? And I just can’t seem to make it through to any single one of you We demand to make a change in a world that’s all the same Everybody just gets to me It’s like a white trash clubrat claiming she’s not easy What I want is just a little bit (maybe some more) What I want is what I’ll never get I know you think that you have found your place, But just ask anyone, that’s not the case I’ve got a secret that I’ll tell you right now If you can’t hear me then, if you can’t hear me then I guess I’ll sing it out loud Everybody just gets to me It’s like you’re bringing up history, thinking I’ll feel guilty What I want is just a little bit (maybe some more) But what I want is what I’ll never get (give me some more) What I want is just a little bit (maybe some more) What I want, well I want is All of this shit to end with you and all your stupid friends It gets me tired, it just breaks me down But oh, whatever gets you by, whatever gets you where you need on time I’m not here to judge you, I just speak my mind, and the truth is Everybody just gets to me Except the front row right here, picking up the melody. What I want is just a little bit (maybe some more) What I want is what I’ll never get Everybody just gets to me.
