My Turn Lyrics - hoobastank

I have been patiently waiting in line
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it going to be my turn?

I'm sick and tired of paying my dues
Played the game 'til the end and I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
Still nobody can answer me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

Whoa, when's it going to be my turn?
Whoa, when's it going to be my turn?

Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?

When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?

I Don't Think I Love You Lyrics - hoobastank

I wonder what you'll take from me today
Sanity or just my breath away
It's hard to say
Impossible for me to tell
We're always walking on eggshells
Who you're going to be from day to day today

[Chorus:]
I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

Wonder why it is that you don't see
What you've changed since we first met
And how much that is killing me
I know that I will always miss
The butterflies of our first kiss
And how you use to smile so easily

[Chorus:]
I wish that we could go back
To what we were before
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

[Bridge:]
It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I don't think that I love you anymore, anymore

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I never thought that it will come to this
I know we'll never get back
To how we were before
Cuz I know that I don't love you anymore

It's too hard to keep pretending
It's too hard to ignore
But I know that I don't love you anymore, anymore

So Close, So Far Lyrics - hoobastank

I wake up all alone
Somewhere unfamiliar
I've been gone so many days I'm losing count
When I think of home I see your face
Though I have to wait

We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
All the little things
Forgotten what it's like to hold you
Cause where I am right now
So unforgiving
It's numbing everything

We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
We're so close yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

(So promise)
No matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
You'll wait for me
(I promise)
No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you
Just wait and see

I miss being at home
I miss your face
Don't think I can wait

You're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
So close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do to be back with you

I promise
It's tearing me apart
No matter how far away I go I'll come back for you
I promise
It's tearing me apart
What I would do
What I would do
What I would do, I'll be there with you

All About You Lyrics - hoobastank

Spill out my heart...
But you don't hear a word...
Cause your busy thinking bout how long til its your turn...
So you can go on and on, about yourself
Go on and on, about yourself...
And my heart can go back on the shelve...
And go on and on, about yourself...

[Chorus]
But its not all about you,
All about you,
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you!!

Whatever I do, you've already done...
Only you've done it better and way before anyone...
Cause you think, that its some game to win
You think, that its some game to win...
Accomplishments and places been...
You think, that its some game to win...

[Chorus]
But its not all about you,
All about you,
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!!
Care about you, you, YOU!!!

Go on and on and on about yourself...
Go on and on and on about yourself...
The places that you go...
The places that you've been...
Why can't you say no one cares about you...

[Chorus]
Its not all about You!
The more you speak the less I care about
You, you, you, YOU!!!
Its not all about you, but we'll charge without you!
The more you speak, the less I care about you, you, you, you!!
Care about you

The Letter Lyrics - hoobastank

"Meet me there at midnight, same place we always go,
I'm absolutely sure he doesn't know."

Those words jump off the letter, that I found behind our
Bed, haunting me they echo in my head
In my head...

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad the letter isn't mine....

"When can I next see you? I've been counting down the days.
I promise you our secret will be safe."

No, I just can't continue, reading through my tears,
The meaning of the letter is so clear....

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that I found
I've memorized it line for line
Too bad the letter isn't mine....

You wanted me to find it, girl.
You never tried to hide it, girl.
The writing nevere fades, the words are here to stay.

I hope you find this letter, I'm writing you today,
These will be the last words that I say....

It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that you've found
It's too late to try and work it out
There's no way to turn this thing around
It's all there in the letter that you've found

So, memorize it line for line:
I won't be there to say you GOOD BYE.

Tears Of Yesterday Lyrics - hoobastank

I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sky is cold and gray
Just like it was when we both went our separate ways
And the rain won't wash away
All the dirt of my mistakes

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The deafening sound of rain
Its not enough to drown my thoughts to ease the pain
So instead I'll soak it in
While I stare outside again

And I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday

The sun just won't seem to come out
Not since you walked away
Now I cannot escape
I cannot escape the rain
The rain

So I write your name in my breath on the window
Sit and watch as it fades away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
I try so hard but I can't seem to let go
I lost so much when you walked away
The painful memories
Of the tears of yesterday
Yesterday
Yesterday

Sick Of Hanging On Lyrics - hoobastank

First you tell me it's over,
Then you try to get me to stay.
I'm so confused,
What am I gonna do?
You pull me in so you can push me away?
The minute you tell me you need me,
But it's right before you walk out the door!
You're hot then you're cold, now the game's getting old
Who am I supposed to be anymore?

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Choose cause you can't have it both ways
Choose so I know what to do
Cause I can't believe that's who you're going to be
You've had your cake and now you're leaving it too!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
You need to make up your mind
And even though it'll stand
This is your only chance

I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

Let me go or I'll let go!

I can't wait forever!
To know if we're together
I'm sick of hanging on
Anything sounds better
Than waiting on you forever
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on
I'm sick of hanging on

You're The One Lyrics - hoobastank

Tonight I'm letting go
Of all the old excuses
The fears I built so close
Cause inside I've always known
That no one else could ever do
Or ever feel like home

Theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken to long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I cannot live
I'd die any other way

I'm not afraid

You're the one

It's hasn't always been
The best of times
But if you'd ask
I'd do it all again

(are you ready to begin)

I'm ready to begin
A brand new chapter of our lives
Just tell me where and when

(a brand new chapter in our lives)

Cause theres so many things I'll never know
But this I know for sure

You're the one
I need you more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

My life began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way
I'm not afraid

You're the one

[instrumental]

You're the one
Who understands
Who makes me better than I am
I do it all because of you
When all we had
Had come undone
You stood and fought
And didn't run
You're the one who
Pulled us through

You're the one
I feel it more than ever
It's taken too long
Taken too long to say

Our lives began
The night we spent together
Now I can not live
I'd die any other way

I'm not afraid
You're the one

Who The Hell Am I? Lyrics - hoobastank

Yeah!!

No more lying to myself
Pretending to myself
And now I'm hiding how I feel behind a smile
Living in constant self denial

There's something I need to say

No more running from my fights
And no more giving up when I know I'm right
Sick of trying to fit in
Wondering what I could have been

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I?
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos who the hell am I?
If I can't be me

No more need to justify
Everything I do, everything I like
No more blood from biting my tongue
Too afraid to upset anyone

There's something I need to say

No more guilt for what I see
Staring at the mirror back at me

There's something I need to say
Its growing everyday
Things are going to change

I wont apologise
For who I come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
Cos who the hell am I
If I can't be me

And it feels like I am naked
Stripped for you to see
My scars and imperfections
But you don't seem to notice
Cos your too busy covering up your cuts and bruises
From who knows what
Just like me
So why apologise
For who I've come to be
Cos who the hell am I
If I cant be me
I've wasted too much time
On insecurities
Cos this is who I am and that's fine with me

You Need To Be Here Lyrics - hoobastank

I feel the wind brush across my face like a

I feel the wind brush across my face
Like an invisible wave crashing over me
I started holding my breath the moment I left
Wondering what the day was going to bring for me

But there's no way that I could every prepare
For the scope of it all, for the chill in the air
The cold of the rain, the warmth of the day
I'm never gonna be the same

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

It's something new and beyond every corner is a mystery
'Cause every road that I've taken
Can never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet
And I realize with open eyes
Every second that we have is once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
So you need to be here, you need to be here with me

'Cause something's incomplete, not quite how it should be
And I try and I try just to live in the moment
But everything I do just leads me back to you
'Cause there is no substitute

The whole world's racing by
And no words can describe how this feels inside
You need to be here, you need to be here with me
They come and go so fast, these moments never last
You need to be here, you need to be here with me

Gone Gone Gone Lyrics - hoobastank

I've been having trouble looking in the mirror
'Cause when I do I can't stand the person that I see
All though my face is still the same underneath something has changed
From all the shit you've said and done to me, oh no, no

Don't you ever realize the damage you were doing?
Are you aware of all the mess that I've cleaned up?
And now I see just who you are, I can't believe it got this far
And it's time to say enough is enough

So I'll be gone, gone, gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone

I should have listened when my friends said you were crazy
I should've shown a little spine and self-respect
But I couldn't see the signs, the so called love had made me blind
And tied me up and left me for dead

So I'll be gone, gone, gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Don't beg me to reconsider
Don't bother getting on your knees
'Cause there's absolutely nothing you can say to change my mind
So save your breath, save your breath

'Cause I'll be gone, we started off in heaven
I'll be gone, gone, gone, we ended up in hell
So don't waste my time with one more lie, it's too late to apologize
By the time this song is done I'll be gone, I'll be gone, yeah I'll be gone

Replace You Lyrics - hoobastank

In a darkened room
right beside the bed
There an empty suitcase waits 'til I leave again.

I try to fill it up
with things that feel like home
but no matter what goes in, I still feel alone
When I'm on my own.

[CHORUS]
No pictures, no letters
Nothing can ever replace you.
Reminders, whatever
Nothing can ever replace you.

Now it's time to go
and you're still sound asleep
when you wake up, next to you just cold empty sheets.

I gather all my things
from off the bedroom floor
One more kiss reminds me of what I'm leaving for
Then I close the door.

[CHORUS x2]

Nothing can ever replace you
Nothing can ever replace you

You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me
You've stripped away and uncovered the real me

Oh...oh...
Oh...oh...
Oh...

[CHORUS x2]

Stay With Me Lyrics - hoobastank

You've felt unloved before
You've felt unwanted
You've tried to close the door on a past
in which you're haunted.

I don't know how to make it right
I don't know how to change it
I just know it wasn't your fault
So just let me say this.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

The past is a memory
The future's a mystery (the future's a mystery)
Where we'll be going
What will we be
As long as it's you and me.

You can go back if you want to
I will be right there behind you
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me (I promise I'll be there)

You can go back if you want to
I've always been there
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

There is nowhere left to run to
Nothing that we couldn't get through
Step by step, patiently
Give us time
Stay with me.

Stay with me
Stay with me (Stay with me)

The Rules Lyrics - hoobastank

All you people listen up!
You are incapable of rational thought!
You will not think!
You will not move!
You will not clinch!
You will not have random synapse in your brain housing group! ?
Is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
If I give the word, you will move!
If I do not give the word, you will not carry on random thoughts, is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
You will not tell me what you think!
I don't care what you think!
What you think is irrelevant!
Lock your bodies, and stand by for command!

Born To Lead Lyrics - hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realise.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

You can't ignore me (you can't ingnore me)
You cant think for me (you can't think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground,
'Cause I figured you out.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

I use to think I'm ALL alone,
But now I see our numbers grow.
I'm not afraid to break away,
Think on my own

With eyes wide open,
My new life begins.
Without you there to tell me, when, where and how,
And you can't stop me now!

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead.

Moving Forward Lyrics - hoobastank

At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I stand before, a road that will lead,
Into the unknown. At least unknown to me.
I want to go, but I'm paralysed with fear.
Fear of a choise, where the outcome isn't clear.

Nooo, but still I gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I wonder if, the journey will be,
Shorter as I hope, or much longer than it seems.
But either way, I've made up my mind.
I'm through feeling scared, I'm leaving that behind.

Sooo, Now it's time to gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

And in while I''l be singing,

Na, nana nana

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.

And I take, the first step of a million more!
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before!
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward!

Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward...

Na, nana nana

Inside Of You Lyrics - hoobastank

It seems so obvious
Theres something up with us
I swear I feel it
From across the room.
So can I ask you this?
Not to be forward, miss,
But I think I'll kill myself
If I never know...

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...

Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit
To how far I will go..
And I'm sure I can't pretend
To be a gentlemen..
But before I began,
I just gotta know,
Just gotta know....

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...

For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But I've got to say
That I never lose..

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you...
When I'm inside of you.
You...
You...
You...
When I'm inside of you...

The First Of Me Lyrics - hoobastank

I must make a choice
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other some one else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell

It's harder than it seems
When you're told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What's expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
But I am not for sale
I am not for sale

[Chorus:]
I hear a voice inside
It's grown into a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
'cause I can't live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me

If I can't refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it's true
That something I can't do
That something I can't do

[Chorus]

So when the waiting's done
It's time to face the truth
You know you're good enough
Deep down inside of you

You've finally woken up
If only just to prove
You were born to lead the way
And be the first of you

Good Enough Lyrics - hoobastank

I only wanted you to feel,
How I thought you deserved to feel.
The way you always said you wanted to.

You wanted all we have to be real,
And every word we say to be true.
Still after all I gave it's not enough for you.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

I only wanted you to see,
That you can be who you wanted to be.
And fill the lonely void inside of you.

I gave you everything that you need,
Did what you always wanted to do.
Still after all I've done I can't get through.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Good enough!

I've wasted my time!
Go find someone else!

Good enough!

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Enough, enough, enough!

If I Were You lyrics - hoobastank

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its driving me insane

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that i have
If i were you

Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the ones I love that i do
If i were you

So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If i were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the ones I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If i were you

Without A Fight lyrics - hoobastank

WHOOHOOW

WAKE UP, our life is calling! We're smoking, but not on fire!
Give us a sign that we're alive!

STEP OUT of indecision! How we've been hypnotized!
To think that everything's all right!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

LET'S GO, the curtain's open! Get this show on the road!
I want to feel my heart explode!

NO MORE pro-crastination! Tracking my feet below! ?
Now I want everyone to know!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

YEAH! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

We must pick up the pace! No time to play it safe!
Before you know it's much too late!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

FIGHT! [16x]

WHOOOOOOOOOOO-hoow... hahaha

Don't Tell Me lyrics - hoobastank

Don't tell me that you are ready to change.
Don't tell me that from now it won't be the same.
It doesn't matter, 'cause at the end of the day,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

Don't tell me you'll make things better for us.
Don't tell me that you're some one I can trust.
It doesn't mean a thing to me just because,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

Your actions will speak louder than you!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

So show me that you really figured it out.
And show me everything that you are about.
But if you can't then you should just shut your mouth!..

'cause I don't care what you say or what you do,
You can't take back what you've put me through.
Your actions will speak louder than you!..

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises always fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

Forever...

Look Where We Are lyrics - hoobastank

I still remember the time,
When this all felt like a dream.
So completely out of reach,
Frustrating.

We kept our nose to the grind,
Make the days turn into weeks.
Hoping time will heal the pain,
Of waiting.

Now it seems so long ago.

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

I used to wonder if I,
Would ever have the chance to be,
Something more than what you see.
I doubt it.

We learned to open our eyes,
Now I both think we'd agree, ?
That we're better off than when we started.

There's still so much left to go ?

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

And the best is yet to come.
'cause our story isn't done.
No! No! No! No! No!

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!

Say The Same lyrics - hoobastank

We've walked together down this winding road,
In search of something true. Together we grew.

But now our journey has come to an end,
And it's on to something new. For me and you.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
The same.

So many memories, we got to make,
The challenges we met. (?) I'll never forget.

'cause those lessons made us who we are today,
Now we're taking the next step. Without a regret.
No regret.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,
The same.

All I'm telling you (All I'm telling you)
'til I get to the end. (?) I would do it again! Do it again!

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,

That you understand,
The only life we have,
Is here and now,
Not up in the clouds.
With every breath we can say,
It is a brand new day.
I know I can say,
I know I can say!
I know I can say,
The same!

If Only lyrics - hoobastank

I thought it wasn't wrong,
To hide from you,
Simple truth.

I was scared,
I felt it all along,
But it hurt to much for me, to share.

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
IF only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

Finally understand,
Why things have happened,
And how it all could go so wrong.

Will this pain ever end?
'cause I don't think I can carry on.

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

If only I, had been less blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could have spoke my mind,
If only it were true, We could start brand-new
I know I'll make it through
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

More Than A Memory lyrics - hoobastank

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' about choices
That I've made
Cause I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now is change the way
That I use to be
Cause now it's seems
Crystal clear to me

you're so much more
Than a memory
Yes, you're so much more
Than a memory

It wasn't fair
For me just to go
Act like I knew what you've been though
Cause I wasn't there
And I'll never know
Couldn't see from
Your point of view
But I'm doing all I can
For you to see
That I understand
That I understand

You're so much more
Than a memory
Yes, you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't Go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
I know that I was wrong
I was wrong

You're so much more
Than a memory
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On what still can be
Cause you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
And I was wrong

Please don't go
Cause I finally know
That the past is gone
And I knew I was wrong
And I was wrong

Finally Awake lyrics - hoobastank

I’ve been going through the motions
Watching things pass me by
Sleep-walking through my life
But you came along and shook my world up
No longer scared to try, my eyes are open wide

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

‘Cause it used to feel like I was dreaming,
So hard for me to see what’s real and make believe
But everything is now in focus,
I’ve finally broken through, I owe it all to you

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you
I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you

And I never felt like this before,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake
‘Cause you’re just what I’ve been waiting for,
I know I’m finally awake, finally awake

I’ve missed enough, I’ve got some catching up to do
(I’m finally awake)
And if it’s not too much, I’d like to do it all with you

Face The Music lyrics - hoobastank

Through all we’ve watched you always take the path of least resistance.
We’ve seen you searching for a way that you can cheat the system.
You had us fooled but now the truth has finally been uncovered.
We’ll never look at you the same because we’ve all discovered…

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause it’s time for you to face the music

We watched you swear that everything we’ve heard is fabricated.
You said the stories were all false or just exaggerated.
But it turns out that you’re the one who’s making up the stories,
keeping us in the dark while you bask in your own fame and glory.

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause it’s time for you to face the music

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

Well, we’ve got news for you.

Your game is over now,
the ride is coming to an end.
And it’s time for you to face the music.
What goes comes back around,
you’re gonna pay for what you did.
‘cause your true colors have come through,
now there’s nothing you can do.
It’s time for you to face the music.

Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.
Take a look, t-t-take a look at what you’ve done.
T-take a look, take a look.

"The Reason" (2003)

Same Direction lyrics - hoobastank

Whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
'cause everyone thinks they're right,
And nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination

But i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong
'cause we're all going in the same direction
And i'm not sure which way to go because all along
We've been going in the same direction

I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
For something to fill the space, was all of the time i spent a waste
'cause so many choices point the same way i was going.....

So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that i can go my own way and meet you in the end.

But i'm not ever going to know..........

Out Of Control lyrics - hoobastank

I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me

I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control...

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me

And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

What Happened To Us? lyrics - hoobastank

[Verse 1:]
I thought it was too good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
Someone who would help me to get through
And fill an emptiness i had inside me
But you kept inside and I just denied
Some things that we should have both said
I knew it was too good to be true
Cause i'm the only one who understands me

[Chorus:]
What happened to us
We used to be so perfect, now we're lost and lonely
What happened to us
And deep inside I wonder, did i lose my only?

[Verse 2:]
Remember they thought we were too young
To really know what it takes to make it
But we had survived off what we have done
So we could show them all that they're mistaken
But who could have known the lies that would grow
Until we could see right through them
Remember they knew we were too young
We still don't know what it takes to make it

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
We could have made it work, we could have found a way,
We should have done our best to see another day
But we kept it all inside until it was too late
And now we're both alone, the consequence we pay
For throwing it all away, for throwing it all away...

[Chorus]

Escape lyrics - hoobastank

Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a hole and we're searching for anything to hold onto
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away...

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together, together everyday
We have to escape....

We could be living how we wanted to
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going throughwhat they went through
There has to be some place that nobody knows, somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone....

We have to escape...

Just One lyrics - hoobastank

I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breathe
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My opportunities

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna push
Gonna pull
Open up the door

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do never be the same
Never be the same

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Lucky lyrics - hoobastank

I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else
Could see and my life hasn't been the same...

[Chorus:]
You make me feel lucky as I can be... [x2]

Before I couldn't get a break,
Never had a chance to make
The impressions I want to
But now it falls right into place
When I get to see your face
Then there's nothing that I can't do...

[Chorus]

No more dark days, only sun rays
No more hard ways with you today

You make me feel....

[Chorus]

From The Heart lyrics - hoobastank

There was a time when our dreams felt so real
Just out of reach but not too far to feel
Together we'd finally make them come true
'Cause anythings possible when i was with you
But they kept on saying we'd never amount to anything....

All of the dreams we built up from the ground
They never believed them they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start, we will rebuild them from the heart

'Cause once all we wanted seemed so far away
But with everystep it was closer each day
The more that we tried it was within our grasp
The more that they told us that it wouldn't last
And everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything....

The Reason lyrics - hoobastank

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

Let It Out lyrics - hoobastank

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
(if you don't like it)

Go ahead, you know just what you want to do
Don't deny, you feel cause I feel it to
Take a look all around, you'll feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground, I feel it everywhere

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)

Unaffected lyrics - hoobastank

[1st verse:]

There never seems to be
Because what i believe
A moment i'm not trying
To show them who i am
Why can't they understand
The things that they're denying?

They're denying.....

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

[2nd verse:]

A chance they'd never give
To ever want to live
The life that i am made of
There's nothing left to prove
My heart's forever true
What is it they're afraid of?

Afraid of.....

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

Before they even saw my face
The knew that i was not the same
And decided i was not the one for you
For you.....

So what should i do?
I'm not unaffected
And who should i be?
I'm not unaffected

[chorus:]

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?

Unaffected...[repeat 4 times]

Never There lyrics - hoobastank

[1st verse:]
I'm filling up inside
Like i need to open wide
And pour my heart out to you
But i'll just get denied
And all i wanted was someone to hear what i'm going through

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

[2nd verse:]
You were supposed to see
All the signs i left to read in front of your face
You were supposed to be
The closest thing to being me
But you're the furthest away
That's because.....

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

You're never there

And i doubt
That i will ever find out
If there's a way to get out
Of feeling all alone
Cause latley
I've been thinking
Maybe
That no one's going to save me
I'll do it on my own.....

On my own

[chorus:]
Everytime that i need you around
You're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)
Because in my life is where i need you now
But you're never there (never there)
You're never there (never there)

Disappear lyrics - hoobastank

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear?
Make them disappear

There's a pain that sleeps inside
Sleeps with just one eye
And awakens, the moment that you leave
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Crawling In The Dark lyrics - hoobastank

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Remember Me lyrics - hoobastank

I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
He used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
But I remember being no one
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
And you're not allowed to be a part of me
Did you know me?
Or were you too preoccupied
With playing king in your small kingdom
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom you're evicted
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

Running Away lyrics - hoobastank

I don't want you to give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be
And I don't need you to be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Cause I did enough to show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had had enough
And when I get close, you turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you to tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
Is it a waste of time?
Is it me, is it you
Nothing that I can do
To make you change your mind
So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
...What is it I've got to say...
So why are you running away?
...To make you admit you're afraid...
Why are you running away?

Pieces lyrics - hoobastank

Turn around and pick up the pieces
I, like a rock, sink
Sinking til I hit the bottom
The water is much deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with
Kicking but I keep sinking
A lesson that no one could have ever taught
Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
I see the picture
Blurry but now it's in focus
A fairy tale I purchased on my own
I finally woke up
Everything is better
A chance for me to open up and grow
I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Suffocating sinking further almost everyday
Barely treading water knowing I will not give up
I will not give up
I will not give up
I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces

Let You Know lyrics - hoobastank

I just thought that I'd let you know
That although I'm far
I'm close to you within
And all the time spent by your side
Is taken deep in me
Held for me to keep
To look upon when I'm feeling like
Everything and one
Is hurting me for something or other
It takes me to a better place
Nowhere I'd rather go
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you
I just thought that I'd let you know
Being near you is
A gift I only wish I could treasure
But for now I'll sit and wait
I'm still burning though
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you
Thought I'd let you know
Feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
It feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
Who you are
And what you do
Makes me burn to be in you
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you

Better lyrics - hoobastank

Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
Is it.........
Better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd better hurry cause I need a better view of things
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
And I'm not getting any better
Cause everytime I can't remember what it's for
Is it.........
Better now than yesterday?
Better that I am this way?
I'd better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
I don't know what it is or what I might be coming down with
Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you
Me be you

Ready For You lyrics - hoobastank

Go on
Make me feel it's useless
When in fact it's you that need to have me near
So now
Keep me at safe distance
And with a little persistence I'll make it crystal clear

I'll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
So don't be afraid
Cause I know what you're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you

Now you seem to be content with
A one sided friendship with you I've got to chase
Slow down so I can smell the roses
But the road you chose is crooked and unpaved
My tires are spinning but to no avail

That I'll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you
Don't be afraid
Cause I know what you're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you
I'm ready for you

That I'll be around
Only if you want me to
Be there by your side
I'm ready for you

I'll be around
Cause I know what you're going through
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you

Up And Gone lyrics - hoobastank

Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead
Or is it in my head?
Where'd I go wrong
Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
For a chance I never got to take
Before it's much too late
Where'd I go wrong
Where's the boy that used to run?
Could it be he's up and gone away?
He seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away?
They seem so far away
It feels as if the boy in me
Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say
"Can he come out and play?"
Where'd I go wrong
Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
Where'd I go wrong

Too Little Too Late lyrics - hoobastank

I've been so long in waiting
Putting my life on hold for this
Chance to live out my dreams
You think you know what I should
Do with the choices I now have
Make them benefit you
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say
Where were you when I was needy yesterday
You want in with me, now that it's good
But it's too little, too late
Time and again I've asked you
Just for some light to show the way
I was in total darkness
You act like I owe you something
But I don't owe anything to anyone but me
Have you no dignity?
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say
Where were you when I was needy yesterday
You want in with me, now that it's good
Where were you yesterday?
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say
Where were you when I was needy yesterday
You want in with me, now that it's good
But it's too little, too late
You're too late
I know exactly what I'll
Do with the advice that you gave
Watch me throw it all away
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say
Where were you when I was needy yesterday
You want in with me, now that it's good
Where were you yesterday?
What if I don't wanna hear the things you say
Where were you when I was needy yesterday
You want in with me, now that it's good
But it's too little, too late
But it's too little, too late
But it's too little, too late

Hello Again lyrics - hoobastank

I dream that someday we'll be able to
Look back on this together and say
It was for the best and that it made us
Stronger today, stronger today
There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say, "Hello again"
I'm so afraid that if I wait too long
You'll never look in my eyes again
With a look that gave me strength and gave me hope
And made me feel I've inspired
There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say, "Hello again"
Hello again, hello again, yea
Hello again, yea
There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say, "We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say, "Hello again"

To Be With You lyrics - hoobastank

Make me feel again
Slide across my skin again
Let me uncover you to rediscover you
And I will open up
If you promise to give in
On this perfect night
Let the two of us be one
We will be again another time
No matter what all the others say
Cause I would leave it all so far behind
Just to be with you today
So make me feel again
Feel your every breath again
Nevermind everyone
There's only me and you
We will be again another time
No matter what all the others say
Cause I would leave it all so far behind
Just to be with you today
Just to be with you today
Just to be with you today
Just to be with you
We will be again another time
No matter what all the others say
Cause I would leave it all so far behind
Just to be with you today
So we will be again another time
And I will do all I need to do
To leave the others all so far behind
Just so I can be
Just so I can be....
....With you, with you, with you, with you....

Give It Back lyrics - hoobastank

We've shared our lives and all of what we know
But now it seems you don't know me from
The guy next door, or the next or the next
Give it back
You need to give it back
The loyalty is something that you lack
I let you in and showed you all of me
But you took it all then trashed the place
And I'm so sick of cleaning it up
Give it back
You need to give it back
The loyalty is something that you lack
Give it back
My time and devotion
Give it back
The love that I gave
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it....
Give it back
You need to give it back
The loyalty is something that you lack
Give it back
My time and devotion
Give it back
The love that I gave
No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it....

Earthsick lyrics - hoobastank

Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
This world became a thief
To the beautiful things that flourished in your day
That's why I say
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop, stop, stop the world
Because I want to get off
Want to get off
Want to get off
It's making me earthsick
Substitute what is now for what had used to be
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick
My head keeps spinning
Progress is winning
I don't recognize the place where I grew up
This is no fantasy
The ground beneath your feet
Will soon be a store with things that you don't need
That's why I plead

Foot In Your Mouth lyrics - hoobastank

I recognize that typical, cynical smile you wear on the front row
I can hear you telling everyone about the other show
You're the one with all of the friends
But none are real cause you're a hypocrite
Just remember that you did it yourself and you wonder how
Just don't stick your foot in your mouth
Never thought before you spoke
You tell me what I want to hear
Turn around and tell another
Who you think you know
Did you really think it wouldn't get back to me
Fabrications that you spun so well
Always ready with a tabloid story to tell
So don't complain to me
Shut your mouth and go quietly
Cause it didn't have to be like this and you wonder how
Just don't stick your foot in your mouth
Didn't have to be this way
You tell me what I want to hear
Turn around and tell another
Who you think you know
But no one cares what you wanna say
Don't bug me or any other
Shut your mouth and go
How can you live with yourself
Knowing all the lies that you tell
How can you live with yourself
I know what you want and what you'll do
To get your foot in the door or to just break through
But you're never gonna get to where you want right now
Cause you stick your foot in your mouth
All you have to do is change

Karma Patrol lyrics - hoobastank

Stolen a bike, take it for a ride
Commit a crime, thought you got away
Pick on a kid, only half the size
Karma patrol's gonna set it straight
Who's to say what's coming or going?
They're the ones who call the shots
And endless search for those who've not
Paid for their delinquent way
Cause personal catastrophes
There's a saying
A little better one than the previous
When you're mischievous
You'll get what you deserve
And it's a beautiful thing
All the liquid coming out the gutter cause
What's done is done
I can't change the past
Karma patrol is gonna get me (last)
Something happened just the other day
You helped another from another
But there's nothing coming back your way
Nobody said that life was fair
So lift your head and understand
That doing good is fine
But don't expect to find your plate full
Because the karma patrol is blind to the fact
Except that no one's perfect all the time
Raining down, walking home
When they come, you will know
All looks good, mind your way
Now you're going to pay
(better watch your back cause)
They've got a target on you
No matter what you do
And the water will come down
So jump to the side
Or you'll get soaked straight through
To the bone
That's what they've shown
They have no preference for the good or the evil
But I just know one day
They'll be coming my way

Stuck Without A Voice lyrics - hoobastank

In just a minute, there's something here that was not here before
I'm clear-headed but confused
Because I thought that it would help me choose between
What I want and what I should
But I always end up playing the game
I don't want that feeling inside of me
To get stuck without a voice
Cause then I have no choice
And I wonder is she the answer
To the feeling that's trapped inside of me
Can I touch her, why should I bother
When all is said and done
Is she the one to answer my question
And so I'm forced to ponder, the waiting's getting longer
The feeling eats at me, intensity increases until I
Am bound to what they say
I will not go this way

Can I Buy You A Drink lyrics - hoobastank

Once two individuals walked in a room
One looked at the other but he doesn't know what to do
He'd better figure out his plan so
If he succeeds, he'll get what he needs
So he builds up the nerve to go
And talk to the girl that he's been burning for
And he says, with a slightly boyish grin
I know that this sounds weird, but you've just got to hear
I've got this fantasy, just between you and me
Where we could spend the night and all of the day
Doing all the things I just can't say
And in my fantasy, your kiss is heavenly
So I try to figure out any possible way
To make my fantasy come true one day
She politely denies his invitation
Just then another one hits the floor
One down and one to go
This time he must be smooth, or he'll be pulling root
So he says please
Can I just buy you a drink and I'll show you
That I'll do anything for one kiss
But before let me tell you this

Naked Jock Man lyrics - hoobastank

Me and my friends kickin' in the household
Tryin' to figure out thoughts start to unfold
Nothing to do or see I can't understand
Combine all our thoughts to come up with a plan
Car alarm system too expensive to buy
But not if you're gonna hire this guy
With a helmet on his head and a club in his hand
Cock in sock, it's the naked jock man
Naked, Naked, Naked, Jock
Naked, Naked, Naked, Man
Tall dark man going to break into my car
With Naked Jock Man he ain't gonna get far
Car alarm sounds, trunk lifts up
He jumps to the ground
What the fuck's that?
I can hear him scream in fright
Naked Jock Man just ruined his night
You can run, you can hide, just turn yourself in
Cause he'll get you in the end
He's the Naked Jock Man
And he's after Dan
Naked Jock Man
R-Y-A-N
Now months have passed since the birth of the jock man
Sally Jesse Raphael and David Letterman
Want the jock man to show his face
He's the next bitch on Melrose Place
Naked Jock Man was just a big joke
Now you'll see his ass on all the talk shows
The people want to know
They're willing to die
Who the fuck is that guy?

Our Song lyrics - hoobastank

For some reason we've had the same dreams and acted on our own
Now look where we are
And the times when we don't get along have only made us strong
I know we all will say that it was worth the pain
When we'll all be gathered around
Knowing the love that we gave's not a waste
You know they will know it's true
And when the day when we'll all be gathered around comes
And I know it's not far away I hope
We will know (it's true)
And still today I wonder how it all became like this
As if drawn by unseen force
We arrived in one specific place, for all our dreams to chase
And though we did not show, I think we all did know
When things got rough, we still found a way
Now our times, is today

The Mirror lyrics - hoobastank

Is it shame?
Is it greed?
Is it something that I need?
To make me feel so strong to the other ones
Is it real?
Is it true?
All the trouble I go through
Is it just a way, to show
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)
That I don't have the strength to show
But the mirror will always know
I've got to let go
Is it them?
Is it me?
I'm just too occupied to see
Afraid to look within to the real one
Can it be that I am scared
To share the parts I've never shared?
Or is it just a way, to show
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)
You won't get inside my head cause I won't let you go
To see that I'm crying out for you to
Know what I want to say
I've got to let you know
That I want to say
I've just got to tell you

Educated Fool lyrics - hoobastank

As I roll over in my bed, the same old thoughts run through my head
What are you getting up for
I look outside, the night still rules, an incarcerated fool
And my prison cell is school
So I open the door to my new day, bad thoughts should go away
But the morning is so grey
How am I supposed to understand a word they're going to say?
My mind's just not awake
Today's the day I break away from this life of monotony
And I arrive and kick my way to class, sit down
Head down on the fake wood
Instructor starts to speak about the time when man was ape
And though I'm trying really hard, my mind won't cooperate
It tells me where I should be, in the sun where life is carefree
That's when I say, can I just go away and learn some other day?
Cause I can't live by the rules established by the school
An educated fool
People always say to me, go to school so you can be
Listen hard and fill your mind's potential, or lack there of
But sometimes I'm not in class just cause that I will not pass
He walks around and stops at me, my letter comes after "E"
A, D, doesn't matter much to me
A, D, doesn't say shit about me
A, D, doesn't matter much to me
Cause A or D is not me

The Dance That Broke My Jaw lyrics - hoobastank

Hey man, I saw you standing there
You were bobbing your head to the beat as your fists start to clinch
Oh so tight
"No Fear" in your eyes, and also on your shirt (and hat and pants)
It's your turn to show tonight, do your best to start a fight
Show us all that you can dance with your elbows and your hands
(Dancing with friends, keeping the peace, if you didn't know I'm being sarcastic)
When you feel the crowd start to move
Please try to resist the urge that you get
Try not to get upset and sock your neighbor right in the face
I know that coach meant well
But what's a dance to you is a fight to someone else
Keep your anger aside, kick back, enjoy the ride
And think how it could be if you showed some courtesy
Your hostility, it grows so easily
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Please don't get near
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Have some more beer, "No Fear Gear" is what you wear
Just because the music begins
Does not always mean a wrestling scene from WWF
Breaks out right to my left
And I got a ringside ticket
I'll challenge you or anyone anywhere
Sometimes I just want the football thrown in
Let the football game begin
And then say to myself as I think of someone else
That's not what we came here for, we'll take no more
What's going through your head?
To the point that someone is dead
Keep it up and you're out of here, you're out of here
And when you're outside by yourself and sitting all alone
Keep your head down
Cause we're the ones that warned you
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Please don't get near
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Can't we just be friends in here?
Go drink some more beer
Kick your neighbor's rear
Elbow to my ear
Can't we just be friends in here?
I was dancing by myself, and bothering no one else
When suddenly I was encountered by the beast
I ask so politely, "please just let me be"
But the next thing I remember, I'm staring at the ceiling
Someone please, help me call security
Was on my feet, but now I'm on the floor
That shithead doesn't show respect to me or to you
So now he's out the door
Not gonna hurt us anymore
That dance floor is free of hostility
And I'm so glad he's gone
It's our turn to have fun
My message was clear, "We're all friends in here"
But we're not allowed to do the dance that broke my jaw

Connected lyrics - hoobastank

[Verse 1:]
No one else
Will help us to get through
So by ourselves
We'll know just what to do

[Chorus:]
We are connected,
We'll never be alone
We walk together,
Forever down that road

[Verse 2:]
You and I
Will share all that we know
So close your eyes
And just let yourself go

[Chorus:]
We are connected,
We'll never be alone
We walk together,
Forever down that road

[Bridge:]
And if you fall behind,
and don't know what to do
I promise I'll be waiting there for you...
(for you)...

Follow me into a better day
We'll be alright,
no matter what they say

[Chorus:]
We are connected,
We'll never be alone
We walk together,
Forever down that road

Road, road, road...

Did You lyrics - hoobastank

Did you say everything you could?
Do the things that you thought you would?
Did it ever occur to you that this could be your final day?
Did you go where you wanted to go?
Learn about what you wanted to know?
Did you ever really give something back instead of always taking in?

Did you find what you’re looking for?
Did you get your foot in the door?
Can you look at yourself and feel proud of all the things you’ve done?
Did you inspire the ones that you knew?
Make a difference to those who knew you?
Did you finally figure out what it is that makes us who we are today?

[Chorus:]
Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you always give it your best?
Is there anything you regret?
If you could have another shot at it all,
Would you do it just the same?

Was it all that you thought it could be?
Are you the person you thought you would be?
Or did it feel like you were spinning your wheels,
Instead of moving forward everyday?

[Chorus (2x)]
Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you? [4x]

[Chorus (2x)]
Don’t waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don’t waste another day
To do anything you haven’t done

Did you? [8x]

Is This The Day? lyrics - hoobastank

Is this the day? My final curtain called.
What have I done? Looking back on it all.
So many have cried. Out of love, out of faint.
Unsaid "goodbye". Is this the day?

And if it is - I'll be okay
With letting go of everything.
I'll leave it all behind, it's been quite a ride.
So many laughs, so many tears.
All my dreams and all my fears
Will all get washed away. If this is the day.

Is this the day, that I've been preparing for?
Mending the wounds, that I've should have done before.
And all of the love. Love that I gave away.
Will I now what it's for? Is there something more?
I'll found out if this is the day.

And if it is - I'll be okay
With letting go of everything.
I'll leave it all behind, it's been quite a ride.
So many laughs, so many tears.
All my dreams and all my fears
Will all get washed away. If this is the day.

Is this the day, when I'll finally get answers
To questions that I've had so long?
And is this the day that there'll be no tomorrow?
For tomorrow I could be gone.

But you don't have to cry.
I will be alright.
You don't have to cry.
I will be alright.

Cause if it is - I'll be okay
With letting go of everything.
I'll leave it all behind, it's been quite a ride.
So many laughs, so many tears.
All my dreams and all my fears
Will all get washed away. If this is the day.

If it is - I'll be okay
With letting go of everything.
I'll leave it all behind, will no say "goodbye".
So many laughs, so many tears.
All my dreams and all my fears.
Will all get washed away. If this is the day.

If this is the day.
If this is the day.
Cause I will be alright

Losing My Grip lyrics - hoobastank

Another night follows the day
Like a child does to it's mother
And everywhere I look I see your face
On the face of others
And I can't escape the pain

Of all the questions I went through
I never told myself the truth
I turned my back on you and me
'Cause I was scared to see
That we weren't who we used to be

So now I'm trying hard to let go
Let you go, but I can't seem to loosen my grip
Trying hard to let go, let you go, let you go, let you go, go

I feel an emptiness inside
A part of me already died
When I pretended to go on
Like everything's okay
Then all we built began to fall
As I began to lose it all
I shut my eyes to set me free
'Cause I was scared to see
That we weren't who we used to be

So now I'm trying hard to let go
Let you go, but I can't seem to loosen my grip
Trying hard to let go, let you go, let you go, let you go, go

You're all that I ever wanted
You're everything that I need
But now it's finally over
Time for goodbyes, I'm needed

So now I'm trying hard to let go
Let you go, but I can't seem to loosen my grip
Trying hard to let go, let you go,
let you go, let you go, go

I'm trying hard to let go (let you go, let you go) let you go, go

Never Be Here Again lyrics - hoobastank

we dedicate
we sacrifice
endless days and sleepless nights
the payment, the price
and finally
here we are
distances we've overcome
so many, so far

now is the time, this is the place

so look around
and take it in,
enjoy this moment while you can
'cause we may never be, never be here again
every sound
every sight
remember how this feels tonight
'cause we may never be, never be here again

years from now
memories
will fill our minds with images
of how good it used to be
so why don't we
seize this day
capture all the moments
before time takes them away

now is the time, this is the place

so look around
and take it in,
enjoy this moment while you can
'cause we may never be, never be here again
every sound
every sight
remember how this feels tonight
'cause we may never be, never be here again

no!

my heart's like a bomb that's about to go off...(feel my)
pulse start to race, I can't catch my breath...(we've worked)
too long, too hard to let it go to waste...(these are)
moments in our lives that we'll never forget

so look around
and take it in,
enjoy this moment while you can
'cause we may never be, never be here again
every sound
every sight
remember how this feels tonight
'cause we may never be, never be here again

Never Saw It Coming lyrics - hoobastank

All of the things
That happened just so I can be here
Is pulling the strings
Do I have company?
Cause I'd like to think
That I'm in control of my own destiny
All of the signs begin to point the other way
Who would've known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened anyway
Maybe it's me
Or maybe there's something more to it
I believe what I see
Cause seeing is believing
And I like to think
That I'm in control of when and how I go
What if I stepped outside
And I got blown away
Who would've known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened anyway
Happened anyway...
I never saw it coming, I never saw it coming
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened
Who would have known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
And now I know that everything
That's going on around me
Is meant to be
They're gonna happen anyway

Open Your Eyes lyrics - hoobastank

You want what you deserve
But it's right in front of you
You want something better
Than any other
You don't even bother
To figure what it is
That you think you deserve
You'll find it all one day
But not this way
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
I can't take anymore
Have you ever asked yourself
What am I looking for
You're indecisive
You are just another
Caught up in all of this
Plastic glamorous world
You'll never see
Who you could be
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes
If only you could see
That there's something you can do
To make this better
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes
