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
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
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
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
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
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"
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....
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....
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
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
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
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
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
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
