This songs about nothing in particular
I'm just trying to waste some time
Sitting in my room just thinking
About life and how it's fine
Life is time
Time is precious so they say
Don't waste it
Live life full from day to day
Just thinking of these times
Puts a smile on my face
Most of these times
Are someone elses disgrace
My partners in crime
With no one there to hold your hand
It's an influence
To write songs in a punk rock band
Lying in my room
Thinking of my favourite times
Realising that my best times fly right by
Don't let go of the moment
'Cause it could be one of your best
Live life to it's fullest
That doesn't mean don't take a rest
Some of the best times
Are when we sit down to reflect
You know our best friends
Are the ones that need respect
Lying in my room
Thinking of my favourite times
Realising that my best times fly right by
My best times fly right by
They fly right by
My best times fly right by

Wake up, it's time to go
Get Set for 'I don't know'
Wasted since friday night
Blinded by morning light
No time to do your hair
Bad breath but you don't care
Feeling your aching head
Wishing that you were dead
Can't seem to face responsibility
This nine to five routine is killing me
There's got to be a better way
To be underpaid
I just can't seem to face another day
Monday Morning
I turn the other cheek it's
Getting boring
The first day of the week is
Not the way it used to be
Sleeping in till half past three
Waiting for recovery
Monday Morning's not for me
Turn up you're late again
Caffiene, you're only friend
Can't wait to make it through
Monday is not for you
Can't seem to face responsibility
This nine to five routine is killing me
There's got to be a better way
To be underpaid
I just can't seem to face another day
Monday Morning
I turn the other cheek it's
Getting boring
The first day of the week is
Not the way it used to be
Sleeping in till half past three
Waiting for recovery
Monday Morning's not for me

It's hard to be yourself
When you're with somebody else
When push comes to shove
And the only one you love
Is always somewhere else
It's like a dream come true
To wake up next to you
It's a fantasy world
For a boy and a girl
I can't believe it's true
Yeah I've been lost before
But not today
'Cause in you I found my way
And now the days are long
I wish you hadn't gone
And I know that it's true
That I was meant for you
It's with you I belong
Yeah I've been lost before
But not today
'Cause in you I found my way
You know I'd never hurt you
'Cause I don't want to lose you
I waould wait forever
For us to be together
I hope you feel it too
Yeah I've been lost before
But not today
'Cause in you I found my way

Excuse me mum but do you know
What happens to us and where do we go
Is heaven & hell just a myth
Why is everyone just so different
What is my view on life
I'll tell you when I find out
What do I think of you
But first what do you think of me
Why are we all so different
When we're living the same life
I just can't handle the truth no more
But please don't lie to me
I have a dog you have a cat
No one really cares alot about that
My parents are cool yours a divorced
Cause that's the trendy thing to do
I know life's hard but it's a fact
That we try and follow the better act
I just can't handle the truth no more
But please don't lie to me
Have you found the good life yet
If you have please tell me
Please tell me i wanna know it all
Why does the world turn around
Who decided that and why didn't they ask me
Why is the sun just so hot
Do you really care at all
Tell me about the birds and the bees
Or aren't I old enough yet mum
You just can't handle the truth yourself
That's why you lie to me
Have you found the good life yet
If you have please tell me
Please tell me i wanna know it all
Excuse me mum but you don't
What happens to us or where we go
Everything we hear is just a myth
That's why everyone's just so different

Every day is a new sunrise
Now I'm over that little surprise
Every night is a new sunset
Now I'm as lonely as I can get
Am I a loser
Or did I confuse her
I never really loved her
Her mum was cuter
She showed me how to have fun
I really thought she was the one
Then she showed me how to smile
I haven't done that in a while
Am I a loser
Or did I confuse her
I never really loved her
Her sister was cuter
Am I a loser
Or did I confuse her
I never really loved her
Her brother was cuter
I hope that it is not too long before I can sing her this song
I hope that it's not too long
???
???
I was a retard
I'm not a loser
I didn't confuse her
I always really loved her
It just took a while to discover

You know I could've been a contender
I could've been a better man
My situation could've been better
I had it all there in my hands
But I never made the plans
I used to be the kid in the pictures
I used to be father's son
But I've been burning too many bridges
Now everything falls around my feet
And I find it hard to sleep
I've been looking out for a place to call my home
Now that it's turning out the I'll be on my own
Sick and tired of days like these
Wasting time upon my knees
Give me time and I'll keep better company
I'm sick and tired of being me
You always said I'd walk in your footsteps
That I'd make you proud someday
Was something wrong with taking my own steps
It meant more to you than me
Did you get your law degree?
I thought about the things that you told me
I thought I knew it better then
My ignorance has cost me my only
Is it easier to bend
Than to stand up and defend
I've been calling in the favours owed to me
Taking back what I've been handing out for free
Sick and tired of days like these
Wasting time upon my knees
Give me time and I'll keep better company
I'm sick and tired of being me
I remember every word you said to me
How I reminded you of you at twenty three
Did you forget the things you did when you were young
If you never inhaled how come you need another lung?

I heard about the mailman
I hear he doesn't talk to anyone
The kids are cutting school now
They tag along behind him just for fun
He never works a weekend
But he never skips a beat from nine to five
He's always looking sharp in
His uniform, it's always clean and dry
Mailman
There's gotta be a secret
Mailman
Won't let you write a letter, says he does it better
No one knows what goes on in his mind
There's gotta be a reason
He's always got a smile from ear to ear
He's keeping it a secret
There's something fishy going on around here
And don't you think it's strange how
All the kids in town have got his eyes
While all the guys are working
He spends alot of time with their housewives
Mailman
There's gotta be a secret
Mailman
He does it with the lights on, working with no clothes on
No one knows what goes on in his mind
Bridge
Mailman
There's gotta be a secret
Mailman
Won't let you write a letter, says he does it better
Mailman
There's gotta be a secret
Mailman
He does it with the lights on, working with no clothes on
Now we know what goes on in his...
Now we know what goes on in his...
Now we know what goes on in his mind

Little boy in his room
He can't see out he starts to cry
Little boy in his room
They think he's fine, he don't know why
He tries hard to reach them
They see no reason to show concern
They try hard to teach him
He sees no reason why he should learn
So he sits alone in the painted room
They know for sure
He'll come out soon
He can't see how he's supposed to win
He can't see out
They can't see in
Little boy don't ask why
He knows it all, he let's them know
Little boy don't ask why
He'd get no answers 'cause they don't know
He wants to understand them
They talk in riddles, he goes along
They want to reprimand him
But he's done nothing that he thinks is wrong
So he sits alone in the painted room
They know for sure
He'll come out soon
He can't see how he's supposed to win
He can't see out
They can't see in
Little boy in his tomb
Thay can't see in, they start to cry
Little boy in his tomb
They know he's gone, they wonder why
