design

i want to be a spaceman
i want to to cop
i want to fight fires with other brave men
i want to sell soda pop

i want to fly
i want to swim
and win gold medals all day long
i really want to win

i want my work to be the fire
that everyone remembers
i want to plant it in their hearts
let it be the embers

hard to find

her eyes are shining brightly
everything about her might be
driving me off the walls

i can't tell her that i love her
...just be easier if things were
just little more crazy

cuz i know just how i feel
these feelings here are real
and it's killing me all the time

i look at her and she looks back
this train is coming off the tracks
it's easy when it's in your mind
and words aren't so hard to find

Get To Know You

don't let this be a fling
i wanna make it though,
become your everything
i want to get to know you

you're all i ever want and more
you're what i came to this earth for
you and i should run away
that teenage 'love' is so cliche

he met this girl way back in school
the kinda girl that broke the rules
acted like one of the guys
but had to tell her parents lies

it's been two years a lot has passed
before, they moved things way too fast
things will work this time around
because his feet are on the ground

they're in the car
they're holding hands
they're listening to different bands

her heart's pounding as he sings
of lovey, dovey, dovey, dovey things

i want the presence of your love
your hand in mine fits like a glove
the glint in your eyes, they make me smile
it's been this way for quite a while

we're ahead of ourselves
for now this love's not true
unless can take things slow
let me get to know you

fools

we were such a load of trouble, making a right mess
i can't even remember what we did that night, bless.
i broke my nose, you broke your wrist, but they could hardly see
i told those punks to shut up about my sister, and they said free country


cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

that night i got to take you out, it left the greatest mark
we didn't want to go home yet, so we snuck into the park
we sat there talkin on the swings, and making life our own
it's best that we still do it now, so we are not... ALONE!!

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

the many days that we slept in, the countless times that we have sinned
the problems we caused, the times i took it on the chin.

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

cuz we were young and we were fools
us kids were breakin all the rules
we loved to have fun tiiiimes, i know
and we were too good to get caught
i miss those nights, i miss our old lives
a lot

It used to just be the two of us
Not another to come between
Funny how things change
One little kiss, one word that you didn’t mean

But it was great, the fun with your friends
Where I’d gaze at you like fool
The times you’d give me the biggest grin
When I’d visit you at school

I said I’d write this poem
my heart isn’t in it though.
It’s lying on your front steps
With the wind and the snow

If there was any way I could’ve help this more
You know I would have
I feel like the hero, torn in two
Cuz you’re the one I couldn’t save

I guess I give
This isn’t my fault anymore
I’m over it
Really I am
Bye
