Lyrics to Live By

Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Get down
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is everybody loves me

"Everybody Loves Me"

Lyrics To Live By

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected, and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

"Born To Run"

Lyrics to Live By

And after the storm
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up
On my knees and out of luck, I look up

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart, I won't rot

"After the Storm"

Did I have waffles? Of course not.

Lyrics to Live By

Roll away your stone, I'll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside
...............................................
It seems that all my bridges have been burnt
But you say that's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with the restart

"Roll Away Your Stone"

How I Failed Five Today

Had no waffles.

Lyrics to Live By

Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

Didn't have any cheese for his salami sandwich. See? This is what's wrong with my plan to eat up all the food before I buy new stuff. He's going to starve.

Lyrics and Failures

Lady peaceful, lady happy
That's what I long to be
All the odds are
They're in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gonna happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win.

How I Failed Five Today

He found some of his LEGOS in a bucket, and they were broken. And that is something I would totally do, because he would never put his LEGOS in a bucket.

Lyrics to Live By

I get no kick from champagne/
Mere alcohol doesn't move me at all/
So tell me why should it be true/
That I get a kick out of you.

Lyrics to Live By

Here's to every time that you rocked the boat.
Here's to every word that you ever wrote.
There were clues but it was never clear.
You got to choose your own way out of here.

If I could say anything be anyone.
See anything do anything.
Say anything be anyone.
Do anything it would be this.
