THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Your Star

She screams when I’m away
She’s been gone before.
I worried all the time, why worry anymore?
Now I go, away
Now I know, today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

She, now she’s all alone
Her eyes they drown in tears
Their love was meant to last
But she is blind with fear
Now I go, away
Now I know, today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

Leave me be
Now I’m free
Love reflecting everything
You want space
I need you to help me see this through

There she goes, there she goes, there she goes

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You pushed me away
You’re everything to me

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Why Worry

I worry, I wonder all the time why worry
It’s killing me, forget about it

I whisper, remember what she did
Don’t miss her
Set me free, she won’t allow it

Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
If it’s love, I will differ, I’m being lost being with her

I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now
I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now

Be-lieving, the things I did were wrong
I’m leaving
It fades a-way, forget about it
She’s binding, can’t do a thing alone
Rewinding
Times before, can’t live without it

Angry and gone, and the list goes on and on
If it’s love, I will differ, I’m being lost being with her

I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now
I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now

I don’t know
But you did but you did but yo-ou did
Please don’t go
Now my feelings for you they’re now lost
’cause we’re through anymore
I’ll write you , I’ll call you
Now

I’m being lost being with her [x2]
I’m being lost
Forget about it

I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now
I can’t move on, I can’t take it
She, she says we won’t ma-a-ake it now
[Repeat to fade]

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Walk Over Me

(Hmm, so tell me about your mother)

Doctor, doctor
Could you please just give me somethin’ for the state I’m in
I’m having trouble and society believe I got it wrong again
I’m one month sober I don’t think I’m getting over my predicament
But if I jumped out of the window what would she say

It’s not on me, it’s all on you
We can’t deny the things we do
I can’t believe her pretty feet walked over me
All over me

Help me, help me doc
It seems to be an awful lot for me to understand
I know I’m not a specimen,
The troubles and the mess I’m in
I should be dead
He said, let’s all start think
That you’ve had all your fun
It’s time to be a man
So you better quit your bitchin
Think about what the people would say

It’s not on me, it’s all on you
I can’t prescribe what you want me to
You need some sleep, you better leave
You walked over me
All over me

Wait until tomorrow, and it’s gone
So long
Wait until tomorrow, so long
It’s gone
Wait until tomorrow
You beg and steal and borrow till it’s gone

(He don’t got a lot but he’s got all he needs)
I need someone to love
(And all he’s got well it’s all that he needs)
Somebody help me cause I could hear the voices in the tube
To get me through anything I do and anything will do good by me
A little pill, a little thrill, should I take it I think I will
And anything will do good so as long as it’s always too good
Either way I don’t give a damn what you people all say
All now boy

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It’s not on me, it’s all on you
I can’t deny the things I do
I can’t believe her pretty feet walked over me
All over me

It’s not on me, it’s all on you
There comes a time to speak the truth
So you can see me when I leave
Walk over you
All over you

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Top Of The World

[Verse 1]
Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It’s a king that we put up there
And he’s a short way to fall from grace
It’s slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost words.
They say it’s time that you lost your crown.

[Chorus]
Don’t be so greedy.
A dollar’s a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want ‘em to do.
Wasting away… I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don’t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

[Verse 2]
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It’s better that you don’t care
Because he knows that he’s in his stage
I feel the paranoia.
When there’s a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch ya
Well they can wait ’til you hit your face

[Chorus]
Don’t be so greedy.
A dollar’s a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want ‘em to do.
Wasting away… I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don’t wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
And you win, yeah you win, and you win

[Chorus]
Don’t be so greedy
A dollar’s a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you want ‘em to do
Wasting away… I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don’t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Wasting away… I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don’t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Too Far Gone

I should warn you
Things you’re feeling, aren’t normal now.
Think you need me
It’s not easy, let you go some how.

Now we’re too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
me the burdens bitter taste

You promise that you’d stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
things that i don’t know

Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.

Wishful thinking
Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
North is calling
Now I’m falling, at your feet please stay

Now we’re too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
me the burdens bitter taste

You promise that you’d stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
things that i don’t know

Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.
[x4]

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Time Stands Still

Him and her
Life is turned.
The day I knew you would leave
I can barely breathe
Can you hear me scream

[Chorus:]
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She’s lost her will (she’s lost her will)
time is standing still

He walks, her, home
Now he walks alone
The days they turn into years
The eyes they drown in tears

Can you hear me scream

[Chorus]

The way we are the way we were
(It’s just a shadow of what’s wrong)
The time with you the time is stirred
(I love you for, so long)
The hearts they turn, they turn away
(she says to go please don’t you cry)
Love lost was found, night turns to day

[Chorus x2]

Time is standing still

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – The Wind Blows

I got to breathe
You can’t take that from me
Cause it’s all that you left that’s mine
You had to leave
And that’s all I can see
But you told me your love was blind

I know there are times
You’re so impossible that I should sign a waiver
And you will find
Someone worth walking on when you ask me to go

I’ll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath there your heart goes
I’ll be outside of your window
I’ll pass by but I’ll go slow
I’ll leave when the wind blows

There was a day
You threw our love away
Then you passed it to someone new
You wanna stay
But since you wanna play
We can finally say we’re through

And I know there are times
You’re so impossible and you ask me to go

I’ll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath there your heart goes
I’ll be outside of your window
I’ll pass by but I’ll go slow
I’ll leave when the wind blows
You can scream there’s just echoes
I’ll pass outside of your window
You’ll be sad that you let me go
I’ll leave but just know

As I lay in solitude
Oh what’s a boy supposed to do
I shake the very thought of you
Me together, I remember
Late nights when I stayed up late
All I do is wait and wait
You’re never coming home to me
That’s the hardest thing to see

I got to breathe
You can’t take that from me
I can finally say we’re through

I’ll leave when the wind blows
Take a breath there your heart goes
I’ll be outside of your window
I’ll pass by but I’ll go slow
I’ll leave when the wind blows

You can scream there’s just echoes
Pass outside of your window
You’ll be sad that you let me go
On every face you’ll ever know
And everywhere you ever go
You’ll feel when the wind blows

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – The Poison

You were so young
And I guess I’m old
Open your eyes
I’ll keep mine closed
I prefer standing
And you take your seat
I’ll be wide awake
And you’ll fall asleep

And you’ll fall down a hole
That’s the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn’t go
I guess that sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

I can be pensive
You can be so sure
You’ll be the poison
You’ll be the cure
I’m alone on the journey
I’m alive none the less
And when you do your very worst
Mmmmm it feels the best

And you’ll fall down a hole
That’s the one place we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn’t go
I guess sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

And you’ll fall down a hole
That’s the one place in this world that we both know
You take me with you if you could
But if you could I’d lose everything

Can’t you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don’t you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry
You wanna die? No?

So you fall down a hole
That’s the one place where we both know
You take me with you if you could, but I wouldn’t go
Because sometimes we both loose our minds
To find a better road

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – The Last Song

This may be the last thing that I write for long
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song, for you and only you

As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
My foot is out the door, and you can’t stop me now

You wanted the best, it wasn’t me, will you give it back
Now I’ll take the lead, when there’s no more room to make it grow
I’ll see you again, you’ll pretend you’re naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I’m gone
This is the last song

The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
The dream’s beginning and the time rolls on
It seems so surreal, now I sing it.
Somehow I knew that it would be this way,
Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade.
Now I am gone, just try and stop me now.

You wanted the best, it wasn’t me, will you give it back
Now I’ll take the lead, when there’s no more room to make it grow
I’ll see you again, you’ll pretend you’re naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I’m gone
This is the last song

And will you need me now, you’ll find a way somehow
You want it too, I want it too.

As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I’m gone
This is the last song
[repeat 2x]

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – The Cigarette Song

Bring back the memories,
This one’s giving up on you.
I don’t miss giving up on you,
And there’s no more time.
Forgive me one more time.

‘Cause I do want you
Away.
Just bury me I am
Away
Whispered warning
Away
Just bury me I am
Away

And not a day has passed,
That I’m regretting.
The window’s closed,
And she’s not letting me in.

One breath, one glance slipped away and
Missed call, missed glance
I can’t stay too late
She’s gone
I will miss her voice, her eyes,
and love’s first kiss.

I can’t remind you all the time
Bring it back, bring it back
To where we were before
I can’t remind you all the time
No, no
Bring it back, bring it back

One breath, one glance slipped away
Missed call, missed glance
I can’t stay too late
She’s gone
I will miss her voice, her eyes,
and love’s first kiss.

The day is gone
The sky is blue
I know you’re all alone
And the sky is blue
Come back to me
The sky is blue
The sky is blue

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Swing, Swing

Days swiftly come and go.
I’m dreaming of her
She’s seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I’ll find someone new

[Chorus]
(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.

Wish cast into the sky
I’m moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I’ll find someone new

(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again

Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away. away, away…)

[Chorus fades till end]
(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Sunshine

It’s a new day
It’s a bright day
Even when you stand in the dark
It’s just that
You’ve been broken into fifty pieces
Today is gone
I’m the only light that you see
You need someone
I know all you needed was me

Everyday we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone

Another pale moon
Shines like high noon
Midnight never felt so cold alone
It’s just that you’re uneasy
When you need me
Today is gone
I’m the only light that you see
You need someone
I know all you needed was me

Everyday we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone
You can say it’s right, but it feels so wrong
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone

Today is gone
I’m the only light that you see
You need someone
I know all you needed was me

Everyday we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone
You can think it’s right, but it feels so wrong
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone

Everyday we wake if it takes too long
Just tell me something new
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone
You can think it’s right, but it feels so wrong
Just show me something true
Forget about the sunshine
Forget about the sunshine when it’s gone

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Straitjacket Feeling

Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it’s stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you’re the problem and you can’t feel
Try this on, straitjacket feeling
so maybe I won’t be alone
Take back now, my life you’re stealing

Yesterday was hell
But today I’m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you’d be
That face is tearing holes in me again

Trust you is just one defense
off a list of others, you don’t make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can’t win
Take back now, my life you’re stealing

Yesterday was hell
But today I’m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you’d be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I’m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I’m holding on by letting go of you

And when that memory slips away
There’ll be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away

Yesterday was hell
But today I’m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you’d be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I’m fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I’m holding on by letting go of you

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Stay

What can I do to make you think that I am just not over you?
What can I say to make it right, again?
Where can I go to take a lost soul and get it safe again?
If I don’t have you then I’m left alone tonight

Wont you stay, stay, stay
Don’t let this slip away
Not today
Wont you cut me down
You can run around
All over town
Just as long as you stay

When did I ever take advantage of your sweet desire?
How could you think that I’m so cold, to you?
Did I freeze you out of every situation?
You can drop the cards that I’m gonna fold

Wont you stay, stay, stay
Don’t walk out on me today
Not today
You can cut me down
You can run around
All over town
Just as long as you stay (as long as you stay)

I won’t be a lesson, I wouldn’t be (as long as you stay)
When were good
Then were real good (as long as you stay)
You take my hand and you steal my heart
And honey, hearing that to you was just a start
You can kick me up, but you can’t break us apart

Wont you stay, stay, stay
Don’t walk out on me today
Not today
You could cut me down
Or you could stay, stay, stay
Don’t walk out on me today
Not today
You could cut me down
You can run around
All over town
Just as long as you stay

Just as long as you stay

Yeah, you can run around
All over town
You get me up all night
I only wanna make it right

As long as you stay

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Stab My Back

Now we’re broken on the floor
She just wants me to share her
It hasn’t been this way before
She just wants me to dare her

The phone rings
And she screams

Stab my back
It’s better when I bleed for you
You walk on me
It never was enough to do

I can’t get past her
Falling fast
It’s true
It hasn’t done a lot for you

And every time he held you close
Yeah, were you thinking of me
When I needed you the most
Well I hope that you’re happy

The phone rings
And she screams

Stab my back
It’s better when I bleed for you
You walk on me
It never was enough to do

I can’t get past her
Falling fast
It’s true
It’s better when I bleed for you

I hope that love he gave you
Was just enough to save you
You nearly broke my heart
Just look at what you’re tearing apart

Stab my back
It’s better when I bleed for you
You walk on me
It never was enough to do

I can’t get past her
Falling fast
It’s true
It hasn’t done a lot for you

It’s better when I bleed for you
It never was enough to do
It hasn’t done a lot for you

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Someday’s Gone

What makes you so damn sure,
That you’re perfect, huh?
I can’t explain you
Just like a nightmare
I can’t remember
What makes you so damn sure
That you’re worth it huh?
You’re just a bad trip

I can’t come back from since last December
I walk into the room and you steal everyone
I see you walk into the room
And you kill everyone cause I know

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

How did you figure that I let you cut me down
Right at the knees,
I fall like a dead man out of the airplane
How do you figure that I let you drag me around, huh?
You got my number, draw me a story tell me a picture
I walk into the room and you’ve had everyone
And then you walked into the room, it’s so sad everybody already knows

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

Even when I live, a piece of me will die
Win some, lose some, she won’t bat an eye
Maybe when I sleep
I’ll see you in my dreams
Forget about it one day
The day I might see you
You walk into the room and you fucked everyone
And then you walked into the room, well so what, everybody already knows

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Sierra’s Song

Open your eyes, you’re just like I know you
Innocence runs down your face
As hard as I try
I die when I hold you
Guilty, I miss my place
Just to be there tonight
You gotta know it’s for real

Cause I’ll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We’ve got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me

Let’s leave today, we can go anywhere
Show me what few get to feel
I’m not the same but you steal me away
And it’s such a fake world, you’re the one soul that’s real
Just to be there tonight (I’m alive)

I’ll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We’ve got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
Now you belong to me

Sierra, open the door and I’ll walk right beside you
My Sierra, I’ll give you more than a shoulder to cry
To believe, there’s a place where we both live forever and we’ll go
If you’ll just take my hand

I’ll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We’ve got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
I’ll be the man you complete tonight
Just slip away and believe your mine
We’ve got the time now, the rest of our lives
Now you belong to me
I’ll be the man you complete
Now you belong to me

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – She Mannequin

Perfect girl – visit me in my dreams
Run away with me tonight
This lasts forever although it seems
That you’rr not real to me
I don’t care

Crystal clear – I see your face
And I know you see me too
You look at me
My heart is race
Not even real yet
I fall for you

Do you seem so real to me
Just my dream – my fantasy
Mean nothing it all
A vision in my mind
I don’t care
I don’t know
I don’t care

The lights are off when we’re alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I’m still asleep kickin’ in my sheets, yeah.
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I’m still asleep kickin’ in my sheets
For you

Waited for you
You never came
Lying awake alone in bed
Yet you have changed
I’m still the same
Your promises were in my head

Do you seem so real to me
I couldn’t see
Nothing it all
A vision in my mind
I don’t care
I don’t know
I don’t care

The lights are off when we’re alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I’m still asleep kickin’ in my sheets, yeah
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
I’m still asleep kickin’ in my sheets
For you
And only you

The lights are off when we’re alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off
The lights are off
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
Please turn the lights on
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Wish were talking on the phone)
I’m still asleep kickin’ in my sheets, yeah
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Yes, we were talking on the phone)
The lights are off
The lights are off
The lights are off when we’re alone
(Wish we were talking on the phone)
Please turn the lights on

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Real World

I woke up on this side, I thought it was a dream
At first we learned to walk then learned to scream
You can’t understand, when you’re fed from a TV screen
You can’t see the things that I can see

But I forget, that you thank God and pray
Some things just never stay
And we all just slip away

This can’t be the real world now
I don’t believe it, when I can’t see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I, the only one who thinks it’s tragic
‘Cause I know
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh

I look for some hope in every face there’s a vacant stare
The shadows come but no one seems to care
The darkness floods every light that could promise change
She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain
But blood is pain

Somewhere I know, that I’m not all alone
With this bated breath I hold
My lungs want to explode

This can’t be the real world now
I don’t believe it, when I can’t see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in only to poison youth
Am I, the only one who thinks it’s tragic
‘Cause I know
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh

Just as soon as we see
Every flaw and every need we’ll understand
And for the first time
A child to a man says only pure words that he can
He’s too late the man he knows it he said
With all emotions set aside in a whisper say goodbye

This can’t be the real world now
I don’t believe it, when I can’t see the truth
Welcome to the real world now
The old are carried in now just to poison youth
Am I, the only one who thinks it’s tragic
‘Cause I know
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh
This can’t be the real world
This can’t be the real world
This can’t be the real world now
Oh no oh
Oh no oh

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS – Pillsbury Doughgirl

People say everyday that she’s taking you away,
And that we should leave her,
Everytime I see her,
I ask you why, and did she lie about those times with all those other guys?
I could see it a mile away, yeah, you’re with her everyday,
The nights that you just missed,
The things that you promised,
They never stay (stay)
She’s never seen the sun,
She wears shorts and I run away,

[Chorus]
He’s dating Casper and he’s afraid to ask her for his manhood back,
Please give me my friend back,
He’s dating Casper, his heart races faster, just for her,
Why can’t we be like we were?

First you skip but now you slip,
Sure is sad seeing a guy thats whipped,
Just a puppet to sink below, she’s using you all for show.
Back in the day, we’d come and play,
But now you’re asking if you may,
Can’t you see that she’s not the one?
She can’t even see the sun,
The nights that you just missed,
The things that you promised,
They never stay (stay)
She’s never seen the sun,
She wears shorts and I run away,

[Chorus]

I’ll ask her, will she rip my heart right out,
If she hurt me once again? (Will you ask her?)
I’ll tell her, that’s not what I’m all about,
I’ll stop hurting all my friends, we’re okay,

[Chorus]

He’s going away,
Away,
Why can’t we be like we were?
