Never Shout Never

"Myfriendjane"

You see this girl
She's got a problem telling time
If you knew her
You'd ask me so many questions
She's confused about her image
Although we all agree she's so beautiful

If you knew her
You'd ask me so many questions
I've never felt so good
Writing a song about you
I've never felt so good
To tell you we miss you so

Every song that I've wrote about you
And how we need you back
Yeah, it's kinda like that

I promise that you've never looked so good
Without that face on
I know, you know, you knew, you never could
I beg to differ if I had one

I promise that you've never looked so good
Without that face on
I know, you know, you knew, you never could
I beg to differ if I had one

I promise that you've never looked so good
Without that face on
I know, you know, you knew, you never could
I beg to differ if I had one

"Dare4distance"

I got the concept and came to the conclusion
That the top floor was just an illusion
To the fact that I go this break in my back
That I can't get out I cant figure out how
You appeared right in front of me
Before your march down south the university
Is where you spend your daylight
But we're both just waiting for this friday night

Although the distance is daring
We both know how to drive
Ohh

We can't make up for the lost time that we both apologize for
And I cant stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day

I see where your coming from
We've been on the same boat since day one
I see how you like to run
Back to the things that got you here

Although the distance is daring
We both know how to drive
Ohh

We can't make up for the lost time that we both apologiez for
And I cant stand the fact that this extremity is the center of my day your the center of my day ohh

Mondays I sleep away
Tuesdays I lay awake
Wednesdays they are the worst
Thursdays I reminisce
Friday I see your face
And I can't breathe

Although the distance is daring i sure know what its like to be alone.

"Shesgotstyle"

If it's not those cowboy boots in the summer
Oh my God, I'd pray for another
Chance to drive down back highways
Till I stumble upon your beautiful face
Your presence isn't what kills me
It's that artistic gleam
It's takin' over my scenery dream by dream

You might think I'm incapable of loving a soul like yours
You might think I'm a fool for you

'Cause girl you got style and that's what I love about you
The way that you sit back (love how you sit back) and watch this grow
You got dreams and therefore I believe in you
All the small town people with their big remarks
They ain't got jack to say about my movie star
She's got style
She's got style

If it's not the fact that I'm a wee bit younger
Or the truth that I'm so naive
My heart keeps leaping back to you like a dog tied to a tree
I know it sounds crazy, it's ridiculous to me
But without you by my side, girl

You might think I'm incapable of loving a soul like yours
You might think I'm a fool for you

'Cause girl you got style and that's what I love about you
The way that you sit back (love how you sit back) and watch this grow
You got dreams and therefore I believe in you
All the small town people with their big remarks
They ain't got jack to say about my movie star

What are the odds of finding someone just like you
Tell me why I never wanted to go back home (I never wanted to)
I'm still falling for you today

"Overtheyears"

I'm sorry for the nights I let you down
Now all that's left to see is that I turned around
Back to the boy you fell in love with
Not this plague that brings you down

Remind your mom to call me I still care
'Cause her approval ment the world
and i will not dare to disagree
With the life you arrange
Just remember only god knows if I've changed

I'll sing along to every song
I'll tag along for the ride

'Cause it would have,
I'm right there too
Through the good times
The bad ones too

I'm here for you
'Cause in my dreams
You're the one who keeps me asleep
on the nights where I can care less
If I ever woke up again

"Smelyalata"

I know that I've been dancin' around the truth
Tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do
And I, I'm a little bit aggitated
With a slight scent of denial

I'm callin' all the time I know I interrupt
But it hurts when all I hear is you hangin' up
And (la da da da da da da) I won't try that again
I'm callin' all the time I know I interrupt
But it hurts when all I hear is you hangin' up
And (la da da da da da da), I won't try that again

La la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody's going to the party and we're having a good time
And I'm feeling alright tonight with a better judgement
Everybody's going to the party and we're having a good time
And I'm feeling alright tonight with a better judgement
Everybody's going to the party and we're having a good time
And I'm feeling alright tonight with a better judgement
Everybody's going to the party and we're having a good time
And I'm feeling alright tonight with a better judgement
A better judgement

I'm callin' all the time I know I interrupt
But it hurts when all I hear is you hangin' up
And (la da da da da da da), I won't try that again

"Heregoesnothin"

Check, check one-two
Alright, here goes nothin'

If timing's everything stop telling me you're taking your time
I know you're anxious but you're running your mouth like you're five years old again
It's so hard to pretend

Like I know everything, I don't know anything
I wanted you to see (that I got nothin')
I'll sit back and I'll watch the show (yeah I'll watch the show)
And I'll lay awake and I'll watch the stars as they collide

And my eyes, they don't see
And I don't breathe the way I used to
Yeah my lips (woah), they don't sing
And I won't be the way I was on that night

Steady breathing is all I can advise to a girl with a sweet tooth for revenge
I know I'm crazy but it's so hard to pretend

Like I know everything, I don't know anything
I wanted you to see (that I got nothin')
I'll sit back and I'll watch the show (yeah I'll watch the show)
And I'll lay awake and I'll watch the stars as they collide

And my eyes, they don't see
And I don't breathe the way I used to
Yeah my lips (woah), they don't sing
And I won't be the way I was on that night

It was the night everybody agreed I was wrong about you
I told them you were being so strong
I knew you were a liar, I knew you were a liar from the start
It was the night everybody agreed I was wrong about you
I told them you were being so strong
I knew you were a liar, I knew you were a liar from the start

Don't treat me like we're playing a game 'cause baby I don't wanna lose
Baby I don't wanna risk it all for you

And my eyes, they don't see
And I don't breathe the way I used to
Yeah my lips (woah), they don't sing
And I won't be the way I was on that night

Yeah my lips (woah), they don't sing
And I won't be the way I was on that night

"Bigcitydreams"

You say we're both little people and you like it that way
But in time I'm gonna put this body to shame (and grow old)
Wear a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things and get my ass out of town

We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody that you're gonna leave

In about one year you'll have it all figured out
These big city dream are what you're about
Walking like strangers among these states
Only time will tell how long I can wait

We've got it good
Whether you like this town or not
I know it's small but with a big head
it's bound to get hot
In the summer
But the summer is a bummer
If you can't leave
This pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories
A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams
To be anywhere but here
But baby anywhere is away from me

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is gonna miss you
Just go ahead and work it out
But first come on and let it out
Scream it shout tell everybody that you're gonna leave

Me again oh so casually
Did you take the hit for me or the home team

If you got it all figured out
Then what is there to shout about
This midwest town is gonna miss you

"Trouble"

I'm in trouble
I'm an addict
I'm addicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl

But even worse
I can't stop calling her
She's all I want and more
I mean damn
What's not to adore?

I've been playing too much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular will be the death of us
I swear, I swear

And oh
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Oh

I'm running my mouth
Just like I got her
But I surely don't

Because she's so
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Rock 'n roll
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not

I'm in trouble
I'm so clich©
See that word just wears me out
Makes me feel like just another boy
To laugh and joke about

But even worse
I can't stop calling her
I love to hear that voice
And honestly
I'm left with no choice

I've been playing too much guitar
I, I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular will be the death of us
I swear, I swear

And oh
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Oh

I'm running my mouth
Just like I got her
But I surely don't

Because she's so
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Rock 'n roll
And out of my league
Is she out of my league?
Let's hope not

And oh
O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh
Oh, oh

"Did It Hurt"

I've been waiting my whole life
For a someone like you
To go and pick me up and take away my blues
Its been one hell of a year
In my own shoes
But I've got some questions for you

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven
Did it hurt just to know I was right here waitin
Do you know, do you know
It was love from the first time we touched

I've been waiting my whole life
For a someone like you
To go and steal my heart
Just the way you do
Its been one hell of a year
Here waitin on you
So I've got some questions for you

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven
Did it hurt just to know I was right here waiting
Do you know, do you know
It was love from the first time we touched

Fa la
oh ooh, ooh ooh
Do do do do do
ahhh

"Uraltalk"

1,2,3

I been packin' my bags
I'll be headin' down south by the time..
Graduation rolls around
Where the weather is warmer and the people are
Fresh

I'll be pondering life,
Doin' my time on the road,
Pedal to the medal in the 1999,
Ford.

And all my life in one place
I've done my time but I've
Lost the race

I've been working my ... off,
Tryin' to find the part of me my friends all miss
But honestly,
I'm kinda fed up with
All this advise,
But never a sign,
Should I stay or should I go away?
All to find..the better half of me

I got this new change,
I'll be sendin' souvenirs
To all my friends up north,
Where the weather is warmer and the people are
Dull

I'll be pondering life,
Doin' my time on the road,
Pedal to the medal in the 1999,
Ford.

And all my life in one place
I've done my time but I've
Lost the race

I've been working my ... off,
Tryin' to find the part of me my friends all miss
But honestly,
I'm kinda fed up with
All this advise,
But never a sign,
Should I stay or should I go away?
All to find..the better half of me

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da

The better half of me

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da

The better half of me

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da

Let's get to it

[laughs]

"Your Biggest Fan"

I'm a real big fan of yours
But I'm quite the joke to you
But girl it wasn't a joke when you
Kissed me in your room and replied
"I love you too"

I'm a little bit insecure
From all of this mis-treatment
But see I'm working it out
Workin it out is so damn hard
When you're alone

Sha da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da

I am running out of words
To say to you, wondering why I'm
Wasting my time
Thinking back and won-dering why
I'm such a fool for loving you

And I get to the point where
All I wanted for us to make up
But its not that easy
Cause girl you move on so quickly
Keeping a boy like me at the edge of his seat

And I know everything you do
Is all about your perfect image
Well I hope this song
It helps your image

Sha da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da
I'm so over you now

I am running out of words
To say to you, wondering why I'm
Wasting my time
Thinking back and won-dering why
I'm such a fool for loving you

And I was one who thought I was strong
Well you proved me wrong
Now I'm singing along every song
On the radio i don't wanna go
Come on baby tell me
Something I wanna know
Now wanna see what is on my mind
Because slack of motivation is
Taking over my time and I'm sick of trying

All together now!

I am running out of words
To say to you, wondering why I'm
Wasting my time
Thinking back and won-dering why
I'm such a fool for loving you

"Happy"

You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days, yo all of my days

You're lookin' so cool, you're lookin' so fly
I cant deny that when I'm starin' you down and dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want the person you need
It's hard to conceive that somebody like you could be with someone like me

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

You're lookin' so fresh, it's catchin' my eye
Why oh why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny
Oh, the things we put each other through
It's for you, for you, for you

You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

"I Just Laugh"

My shadow followed when you walked away
And ever since that day
My life has never been the same
My friends all asked just why you went away
And all that I can say is that your heart was in another place

And all I know is when I move away
My heart will stay in this midwestern state

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do
Is just laugh

California waits for me to make the change
So I can start a band
And party like it's summer
My friends all ask just why I want to change
And all that I can say is it's all because of her

And all I know is when I move away
My heart will stay in this midwestern state.

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all I want to do
Is just go scream it in your face

Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Darling, you're with him!
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
Damn it's such a shame.
Whoa-oh, oh, oh!
It's drivin' me insane
And ever since you went away,
My heart has never beat the same
And all that I can do
Is just laugh.

"Simple Enough"

If I was a sailor
I'd sail the seven seas
To tell you “baby I don’t want you to leave”
You see this world is such a sad place
And without your pretty face
I'm sure its gonna wind up much worse

And I know that you’ll see someday that I cant live without you
And I know what I say is true cause I'm still stuck on you girl

I'm in love from the first time I laid my eyes on you
A-shoo-do-do-do-do-do
There’s nothing I can do
And I’m in love from the first time I laid my lips on yours
Now you’re walking out my door
And there’s nothing I can do

And if I could explore the world
I’d bring you along
We’d go from New York to Timbuktu
But truly I am set right here at Denny’s
Drinking coffee and sharing a cigarette

And I know that you’ll see someday that I cant live without you
And I know what I say is true cause im so stuck on you girl

I'm in love from the first time I laid my eyes on you
A-shoo-do-do-do-do-do
There’s nothing I can do
And I’m in love from the first time I laid my lips on yours
Now you’re walking out my door
And there’s nothing I can do

"Liar Liar"

You got it all down, got it all down, down to a science
breaking hearts, is what you do for fun, little one
but see I wrote it all down, wrote it all down into a song
I'll break you're heart in just three minutes now
look who won

Yeah I'm moving on but that's the way it goes
when you break my heart, everybody knows
don't pull that shit again

For me now, but I'm building up
I can see that I've had enough, of you
I'm finally through

And all I see in you
is another mistake right over my shoulder
now I see, who you are
All I saw in you, was a girl just lookin for love
and now all I need, is an apology
but damn, that's too much!

Everybody's talking about how
you're not the girl, that you say you are
with that decieving little smile
and your black hole of denial
I'm, not the least bit suprised
that your whole wide world
is crashing down, right before my eyes

And all I see in you
is another mistake right over my shoulder
now, I see who you are
All I saw in you, was a girl just lookin for love
and now all I need is an apology

And all I see in you
is another mistake right over my shoulder
now, I see who you are
All I saw in you, was a girl just lookin for love
and now all I need is an apology
Is that too much?

"Hummingbird"

I like you.
Girl you don't got nothin to prove to me
I know that times have been rough
For the both of us
But I'l pray for a change
You see this world has lots to offer
But in time it will go dark
And if this love is what we see it is
I'm sure we will go far
And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do
But fall for you
You know that I'm a wreck
And you know I can't breathe
At the edge of my seat with each word
As months turn into years
Just know that I will wait here for you
Cause I prayed for a change
You see this world has lots to offer
But in time it will go dark
And if this love is what we see it is
I'm sure we will go far
And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do
But fall for you
For you [X3]
This world has lots to offer
But in time it will go dark
And if this love is what we see it is
I'm sure we will go far
And with a girl as sweet as you
There's not much else I can do
But fall for you

"Losing It"

All we ever did was move around
I was always the new kid
Never the cool kid
And all I ever wanted to do
Was to fall in love
Just to be in love

My heart was racing
My mind was screaming,
"You've got your whole life to do these things"
But my legs were shaking
My hands were searching for her
In the back seat of my car
I just lost it
And I can't believe it

I knew I was only sixteen
But I thought I loved her
And it'd last forever
But only if I knew
That she wasn't true
How could you do this to me?

My heart was racing
My mind was screaming,
"You've got your whole life to do these things"
But my legs were shaking
My hands were searching for her
In the back seat of my car
I just lost it
And I can't believe it

"On The Brightside"

I met a man of two feet tall
This man was quite ambitious
In a world that is so vicious to us all
I said, "Hi," as he replied
He said, "Listen to these words
That I have lived by my whole life

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall"

I met a man of 12 feet tall
He towered like a giant
In a world that was defiant of his height
I said, "Hi," as he replied
He said, "Listen to these words
That I have dreaded my whole life

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall."

I am a man of six feet tall
Just looking for some answers
In a world that answers none of them at all
I'll say, "Hi," but not reply
To the letters that you write
Because I found some peace of mind

Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall
I'll look on the brightside - I'm roughly six feet tall.

"The Duet"

I know that you think of me sometimes
'Cuz all I do is think of you at night
I know it may take a little time
For you to see you are the love of my life

And I just sing
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do

And I just sing
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do

You walked up to my porch and you said hi
I looked into those beautiful brown eyes
All you said was "can we go inside?"
And I said "yes"
And so we did

And we just sing
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do

And we just sing
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do

Now we're in love

"What Is Love?"

In a sitch like this
You gotta think and I don't think you
Think about the way he thinks
And I know you live life
For yourself
But it all comes down to
The way you help

And I know your life is such a hell
You wake up early and you work until
You have your drinks at 5 o'clock
The hours blend and your thoughts
All haunt your hopes, your dreams
Your everything
Well, mama, I hope
I dream that you won't leave

And I have a question:
What is love?
What is love?
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
Is it giving up?
'Cause that's not how you
Raised me, yeah.

In a sitch like this you gotta think
And I don't think you think
About the way she thinks
And I know you work hard everyday
But it all comes down
To the way you're paid

And I know you're oh so sorry dad
I truly believe that you're a better man
Than to share one kiss and then give away
From the love you come home everyday
Your hopes, your dreams, your everything
Well daddy, I hope, I dream
That she won't leave

And I have a question:
What is love?
What is love?
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
Is it giving up?
'Cause that's not how you
Raised me

And what is love?
What is love?
Oh, oh oh oh-oh-oh
See, I don't know anymore
I used to look
Up to
That love

"Love Is Our Weapon"

Hey everybody take a look around
Put your money where your mouth is
Take your eyes off the ground
We got a hard day coming if we can't work out
All the pissy little problems that were fightin' about

aye!

I never got involved with politics
'cause they always brought out the worst in my folks
But I always swore to them if I could make a change at all
I'd love this world before it implodes

We all want change
And we want it now

Hey everybody take a look around
Put your money where your mouth is
Take your eyes off the ground
We got a hard day coming if we can't work out
All the pissy little problems that were fightin' about

aye!

Love is the weapon for this lukewarm congregation
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing
Love is the weapon for this wounded generation
Love is the only thing that's kept me believing

That the world will change
(world will change)
We all want change
(want it now)

Hey everybody take a look around
Put your money where your mouth is
Take your eyes off the ground
We got a hard day coming if we can't work out
All the pissy little problems that were fightin' about

aye!

Hey everybody take a look around
Put your money where your mouth is
Take your eyes off the ground

"Can't Stand It"

Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super fucking cute
And I can't stand it

I've been searching for
A girl that's just like you
Cause I know
That your heart is true

Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super duper cute
And I can't stand it

Let's sell all our shit,
And run away
To sail the ocean blue
Then you'll know,
That my heart is true

Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super duper cute
And I can't stand it

You, you got me where you want me
Cause I'll do anything to please you
Just to make it through:
Another year

You, I saw you across the room
And I knew that this is gonna
Blossom into something beautiful.
You're beautiful.

Baby, I love you
I never want to let you go
The more I think about,
The more I want to let you know:
That everything you do,
Is super duper cute
And I can't stand it
No I can't stand it
No I can't stand it

"Jane Doe"

Jane Doe, I don't even know you but I know fo sho that you are beautiful so baby let me know your name.

Damn what's her name?
'Cause I'm overly attracted and terribly convinced that she could be my princess and I could be her prince.
And, I've felt that way since, since I saw Jane Doe.

Jane Doe, I don't even know you but, I know fo sho that I could get to know you if you let me know your name.

Damn what's her name?
'Cause I'm overly attracted and terribly convinced that she could be my princess and I could be her prince.
And I've felt that since, since I saw Jane Doe.

She's everything I want and more.
She's everything I want for sure.
She's everything I want to adore,
and baby I am overly attracted and terribly convinced that you could be my lover, but I think I lost my chance.
You had me at first glance.

Oh, my Jane Doe.

"Sacrilegious"

Sunday mornin' wake up early, skip church service to find my jesus
I know that sounds so sacrilegious but I just don't belong in a place like that
I love the cause but not the act

'Cause Jesus was a friend and not a judge
he loved the sinners as much as he loved the little ones
that man was love and not an act
and I sing hallelujah, hallelujah I'm set free

Sunday mornin' wake up early, skip church service to find true meaning
I know it sounds so disappointing but I just dont belong in a place like that
I love the cause just not the act
and I sing hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah I'm set free

"California"

Oh my god, I.
Had the most amazing time
last night,I dreamt I saw you again
Thats when the flashbacks started to begin..

They started slow,
But they picked up fast,
So I got off my ass, And
I ran away.. to Californ-i-a
Lalalalalalalalala
Californ-i-a

Oh My god I,
Shouldve never let you leave
My side should have never
Left you alone, It probably
seems like I'm never coming home

But I'm so lost,
Living life fast,
Please get off
your ass, so
I Wont waste
Away in Californ-i-a
Lalalalalalalala
Californ-i-a

Just so you know,
I'm never coming home
I'm having a great day..
In Californ-i-a

Lalalalalalalalala
