Hold My Beer 03:19
Have you seen this one straight over I think she looked at me I think she looked at me Did you that glance over her shoulder I swear she looked at me I swear she looked at me Oh man I really want to get know her I gotta talk to her I gotta talk to her I should show her just walk over No that's not really the right moment She's talking to her friend She's talking to her friend I think I better catch her alone then I need to talk to her I need to talk to her Now they're walking to the dancefloor Now they are coming near I'm going there now, hold my beer Oh she has too much fun just dancing Don't wanna be a creep Because I'm not a creep I'll go beside her when this song ends and I'm gonna dance with her I'm gonna dance with her Now she sees me hold my beer please Have you seen her in the backroom Where has she gone now Where has she gone now There she's standing with her coat on She is leaving now no she is leaving Give me my beer please let's have one more of these

Never any luck with those guys. Always a huge letdown, time after time. You tried to pick up the momentum we had. It was bound to fail. I read a slight regret between the lines. With us it always seemed so easy. In hindsight. You know what, that sounds somewhat familiar, don‘t you think? Did you see me in someone else, like you‘ve seen in me someone that I‘m not? A crowd of people turned and stared. A crowd of people turned away. Do you wish them to care? Did you see me in someone else, like you‘ve seen in me something that I‘m not?

Better Off 03:11
We can handle this like responsible adults no psycho games no dramatic scenes Just a clumsy hug awkwardly smiling Nice to see you again How have you been Are you better off? Do you understand in a way in the end this all that I came for do you understand why I care to know what was this good for Are you better off? You got a new flat and the rent is killing you I got a new flatmate that I barely see Yo do yoga now To find your inner balance And I drink a lot and watch late night TV Are you better off? Do you understand why I always come back to asking for reasons do you understand I can't see what you said that this was just what we needed Are you better off?

The Carpet 03:36
Wave like a little child Blow a kiss and the crowd goes wild The way you wear your dress too tight Just give 'em something to write about A smile plastered on your face as you feel his stinging gaze so you move towards the gates right where the cameras are And everything about this is a lie And everything about this is not right But the show it must go on Cause this is all you've known and ever done Line up for the photo shoot You feel his arm is touching you You back up before he gets to the boobs Or did you just imagine this? Cause you had been there before He dragged you to the floor Made you his little whore Until you just gave in And everyone would think that that's a lie And he has all the ways to ruin your life And the show it must go on It's what everybody wants So you just soldier on and smile ...

Summer flew, I'm getting colder Kinda blue, and another year older Another summer come and gone And less than thirty I recall Just like the bridge in every song As summer changes in to Fall... I've come to learn the bitter truth I'm not the boy I used to be The years passed slowly in my youth And now they're faded memories... Summer days are just as long But now I work 5 days a week July and August - here and gone And I just barely soaked my feet... The last day of school, the shoes came off And every summer, stubbed my toes My money came from mowing lawns And not a CENT was spent on clothes... Now all my money goes for bills I work to keep the things I own The summer sunsets give me thrills And come September, chill my bones... Summer days are just as long As summer days when I was young Another singer sings his song Another summer come and gone... Solo

He's been mean again He's been mean again He knows where to hit you and he always knows when He's been mean again He is not the one and everybody sees So break up already And let us sleep She's been bitching again She's been bitching again No matter what you do she will never be content She's been bitching again She is not the one, she's impossible to please So break up already And let us sleep He's been flirting again He's been flirting again Of course he denies it but you've seen what you seen He's been flirting again He is not the one don't you deserve the best So break up already And give us some rest It's none of our business and we don't give a damn it's just what we witness when you fight with windows open at 2 A.M. She's been crying again She's been crying again It's the deadliest weapon and you always give in She's been crying again Do you want to spend your life with such a drama queen? So break up already And let us sleep

I don't know why You're always on my mind I don't know what you want Or what you hope to find Hey We ended things long ago Hey And I still can't let you go I wish you would stop Trying to reach out 'Cause getting jerked around Is not what I'm about Hey We ended things long ago And I still can't let you go

All my life you tried to keep me small Always made sure that I had it all Never cared about my wishes and desires You've had your plans for me so I wouldn't have to make mine All my life you were the ones in charge Made me a model of what you are But I'm more than a puppet on a string You'll be surprised to find that I can do anything Take a look at me now, I'm on my way A bird needs a nest but not a cage Please don't worry I'll be fine Cause there are thing that money can't buy All those years I waited for that day When you wouldn't listen I had to get away Out of your stranglehold of parental care If I make it out of here, I'll make it anywhere Take a look at me now, I'm on my way A bird needs a nest but not a cage Please don't worry I'll be fine Cause there are thing that money can't buy You won't hear from me over the coming months I will write you when I will settle down I'll go traveling, I really have to see the world Kisses from the woman who's not your little girl no more Take a look at me now, I'm on my way A bird needs a nest but not a cage Take good care of yourselves now, as I'll certainly do I'll enjoy my freedom and you should do so too

At the bottom of a bottomless pit (low low low) In a tunnel with no end to it (low low low) A weight that pulls you down (low low low) that nails you to the ground (low low low) Still I try the best I can to ever make it out that hole again Slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea The greyest grey times infinity Black wave washes me away All lifeguards gone astray Still I try the best I can to ever make it out that hole again

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make songs that no one cares about.
