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

Right Before Your Eyes lyrics - hoobastank

When the door shuts
Don’t worry about me
Its not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I’m gonna be
And in everything I’m going to do

Cause I’m not afraid
Of what I don’t know
For understanding is all that I earn
What is for sure is I’m gonna to go
I’m gonna to live and I’m going to learn

And I know there will be mistakes that I will make
But I know they’re not worse than chances I don’t take, take
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

When the door shuts
Its shuts in front of me
A new person that I have become
I follow my heart to my destiny
But living in fear and sorrow is done

There will be no more feeling that I’m all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes
Right before your eyes

The Critic lyrics - hoobastank

so what if what I say
so what if what I do
Isnt what you wanted to
that doesnt justify you
tearing me down
with all that you say

it seems you only live
to doubt my every move
pretending like you always knew
but I dont care if you dont
like what you see
Cause I'll do as I please

so leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same

no matter where I am
no matter where I go
you never can leave me alone
you might as well just tell me
you're wasting your time
cause you're going to fail

and now i finally know
now I finally see
the reason why you couldnt be
the person that you dreamed of
you gave it all up
well I wont do the same

Leave me alone
I need more than room to grow
cause we're not the same
you treat my life
like its a game

What I Meant To Say lyrics - hoobastank

Come and watch the sunrise
Watch the sun rise with me
Forget about the last night
and the whole ordeal.

'Cause I can say some dumb things
Some fucking dumb things - True.
But sometimes what I say
it isn't how I really feel.

Let's go take a walk, babe
Take a walk to nowhere
Somewhere we can talk, babe
Only you and me.

Don't know what I was thinking
I guess the drinking got me
'Cause sometimes what I say
it isn't how I really feel.

[CHORUS]
What I meant to say last night
is I never want to be without you
Oh...that's what I meant to say.
When you walked away last night
I knew I couldn't make it without you
That's what I meant to say.

I know it's not the first time
that I drove you crazy
It's probably not the last time
that you'll want to leave.

'Cause I can say some dumb things
Some fucking dumb things - True.
But sometimes what I say
it isn't how I really feel.

[CHORUS]

What I meant to say...
I can say some dumb things
Some fucking dumb things
Oh...that's what I meant to -
I can say some dumb things
Some fucking dumb -
Oh...
Before you walked away
Oh...
That's what I meant to say

[CHORUS]

What I meant to say...

'Cause I can say some dumb things
Some fucking dumb things.
