I made a wish on a shooting star once but it's been so long
Never did believe it till you showed up there and proved me wrong
Everyone is here and they're all cheering with the end of another day

It's Friday night, everyone's asleep and now we're walking home
Our shadows grow underneath the streetlights till they're overgrown
A perfect end to a perfect night and I feel so alright

One, she makes me feel
Not too much like anything
That's three times more than
I've ever felt before
One AM, and I am too sucked in
'cause it is three days later
I can't stop thinking about you

Call up your friends and lets go down to the beach
Bring your stereo and all your favorite CDs
We'll bring out our guitars sit on top of our cars
And sing the night away just like rock stars
It's wide open, everyone scoping we're hoping to have a night where nothing gets broken
I will believe in you tonight
Oh I'll believe in you tonight

One, she makes me feel
Not too much like anything
That's three times more than
I've ever felt before
And one AM, and I am too sucked in
'cause it is three days later
I can't stop thinking about you

One, she makes me feel
Not too much like anything
That's three times more than
I've ever felt before
And one AM, and I am too sucked in
'cause it is three days later
I can't stop thinking about you

One, she makes me feel
Not too much like anything
That's three times more than
I've ever felt before
And one AM, and I am too sucked in
'cause it is three days later
I can't stop thinking about you

Verse 1
Crazy Mary is a slow girl who looks up to no one,
Would do anything for a cold one,
Wishes she could find her way home,
Got the look on her face and the stare of a ray gun,
We walked by everyday,
and I wish there was something I could do for her

Chorus
Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd
Heal a little if she wants to
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now
I'll shake a little if she wants to
She'll laugh a little if she needs to
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind

Verse 2
She watches the world pass her by like a freight train
They all call her the same name
Laughin' as they point and stare at her
So she cries out to God up in Heaven
Been prayin' since she was eleven
For Him to send someone to meet her there

Chorus

Bridge
And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams
And the ideas she's got and contains inside
She's broken apart
and her heart is still lookin' for somewhere to feel all right,
And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
And the ideas she's got and contains inside,
She's broken apart, and her heart is still lookin' for,
Somewhere to feel all right

Chorus

. . .


You've been
Trying to get me open
Caught out in the open
Everyone is hoping
You'd give anything to take this
Everything to brake this
Everyone is faceless
Give me something to believe in
Quick or else I'm leaving
Need a better reason
I know things get complicated
So mis-educated
It's a wonder that we made it.

What a situation
Under speculation
What are facing
Too much complications
Looking for a name an a new generation
A new focus
New destination

I don't wanna look I just wanna find
Can you give me something to believe in
Keep your religion don't need your lies
I'm just looking for one good reason
Feel like it's teenage hunting season
An nothing out there sounds half decent
Who's out there
Who's gonna save us
Before we all fall through the cracks in the pavement

You've been
Trying to get me open
Caught out in the open
Everyone is hoping
Give me something to believe in
Quick or else I'm leaving
Need a better reason
I know I'm never gonna fall in line
So don't even bother wasting your time
I'm a breed of a different kind
Sent back just to invade your mind

What a situation
Under speculation
What are facing
Too much complications
Looking for a name an a new generation
A new focus
New destination

I don't wanna look I just wanna find
Can you give me something to believe in
Keep your religion don't need your lies
I'm just looking for one good reason
Feel like it's teenage hunting season
An nothing out there sounds half decent
Who's out there
Who's gonna save us
Before we all fall through the cracks in the pavement

And if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's probably better cuz I'm working it out
Don't wanna spend my lifetime figuring out
That I could've just said one prayer
And if you know what I'm talking about
Then together we're both working it out
Don't wanna spend my lifetime figuring out
I missed the point, now it's over
I missed the point, now it's over
I missed the point, now it's over
I missed the point, now it's over
I missed the point, now it's over
I missed the point, now it's over

I met a girl named Tara
She lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies
Listened to Cinder puff daddy
Danced until her legs were sore

She worked around the corner
At the diner with the grouchy owner
And her boyfriend's Shady, dates another girl named Katie
He loves her definitely maybe

Don't think I can take it
Wake me when it's over
Seems so far away
I wish that it was closer
I see her every day
I'm too scared to go over
I wonder what she'd say
I barely even know her

And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when im singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

I saw you in the hallway when my last class was just over
It was friday, school was out tonight
Everything seems to be all right
I said, "yo, are you going to the party at the cove,"
She said he's picking me up at six again
And I don't wanna disappoint my boyfriend

And she's staring at his picture hanging in her locker
She's telling all the girls about all the things that he bought her
I saw what really happened all those times he went for water
When we were at the movie theater watching Harry Potter
He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on
Hate to break it to you, he's a pylon
And even when he kissed her
He was looking over, staring at her sister

And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger
I wonder what she's doing when im singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker
So see ya later
I wonder when you'll realize that she means a lot more to me

I met a girl named Tara
She lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies
Listened to Cinder puff daddy
Danced until her legs were sore

She worked around the corner
At the diner with the grouchy owner
And her boyfriend's Shady, dates another girl named Katie
He loves her definitely maybe.

doo-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo, doot-
doo-doo-doo,doo-doo

Oh Donna, won't ya pick me up tomorrow?
I need to get out of this place I'm in, and get my life in order.

Let's go far away from here, and not come back until the
coast is clear. I'm fallin', thinkin' of you, I count the days
and all the funny things we do.

I'm so sorry now you
ignore me, tried to explain, but it's such a long story.
saw you in the lobby,Now ya never call me,
smiled, then pretended that you never saw me

Chorus:
Oh Donna, won't ya pick me up tomorrow?
I need to get out of this place I'm in, and get my life in order.
Although this world, just might fall apart,
I've got enough in my heart to get us started.
Come with me, oh, I'm beggin' you please,
or just say goodbye, cuz' this is the end of me.

(back to chorus)

This is the last day of our freshmen summer
text books n essays wait around the corner
saying goodbye now to our best friends
we'll try if we can to get home on weekends

I gotta run now
go home and take a shower
we all can meet up
at your house in half an hour
I can't get ready any faster
we better make it, quarter after

Runnin through the high school hallways
this is all we've known untill now.
I don't ever wanna slow down
Packed up, and I'm ready to go now.

Now we'll all meet up and go our own ways
probably won't see each other the same ways
but no matter what happens,
We'll never forget all the times we've had together

Runnin through the high school hallways
this is all we've known untill now.
I don't ever wanna slow down
Packed up, and I'm ready to go now
All the days we've been traveling together
I won't even look over my shoulder
til I find a cure for getting older.

Runnin through the high school hallways
this is all we've known untill now.
I don't ever wanna slow down
Packed up, and I'm ready to go now
All the days we've been traveling together
I won't even look over my shoulder
til I find a cure for getting older

. . .


I saw you in the hallway,
I bet that's what they all say,
you probably didn't even notice i was the loser,
who was staring at my shoes and couldn't think of nothing to say.
I'm on the runway,
of a flight that's going one way,
on "cross your finger" airlines.
I'm picking up the pace,
getting nervous in the worst way, here goes nothing

I saw her walking over,
now that shes slowly moving closer,
wrote her a letter 'bout a week ago 'n', to my surprise
she replied and said:

You can hold me once, You can hold me twice,
even better if the stars are good tonight.
You can hold me, be my one and only,
this is the reply to the letter you wrote me.

You told me to meet you after gym class,
but i forgot to get a hall pass,
and got sent to the office.
You tried to call me,
asked everyone around who saw me,
they didn't even notice.
You're on your way now,
moving with your parents to some hick town,
a thousand miles away.
I'm in the playground,
and there's so much i could say now,
I still remember when.

[Chorus]

It's been awhile since we said "hi",
three hundred and sixty five days have gone by now,
and i could paint of picture of you.
I see you every time i pass your locker,
remember the time we talked 'till six a.m.
and i'm tired of missing you

. . .


She knows that I'm waiting by the door.
I know that she's trying to cover up staring at the floor.

Lets Go! Don't say maybe.
Forget everyone around let's together and get down.
I know it sounds crazy 1, 2, 3 times a lady

Oh no, I've got the notion.
Lets get together and start the commotion.
round and round til everyone stops
'til the next needle on the record player drops.

It's almost time to say our goodbyes and get home tonight.
Lets do it up one more time.
Show these people what we had in mind.

. . .


I used to draw you pictures
back in grade school
you never could quite make them out
but you said you thought they were cool
we made a really good team
you and I and our acid washed jeans
looking back it was all so great
Vaurnet, chip n pepper, and vanilla ice tapes

It's hard to get over
that she comes out in October
wish some day i could show her
things have changed
but now that were so much older
i don't even really know her
maybe some day she'll come over
we can hang

i saw you in
cosmopolitan
and your hair was down
and everybody liked you
remember way back when
way back in grade seven
cause your hair was down
and everybody liked you

you were a smart girl
favorite day was earth day
forget what those jerks say
i dug you in the worst way
no doubt
cause you even went out and bought me
a boys in the hood soundtrack for my birthday

its hard to get over
she comes out in October
i wish some day i could show her
things have changed
but now that were so much older
i don't even really know her
some day she'll come over
we can hang

hang around
hang around
hang around
hang around

and we could all tell
that you would be something
and we could all tell
stories to our friends
and we could all tell
it was now or nothing
and we could all tell
you'd never be back again

. . .


Something tells me I'll never be close to another like you
helped me through the things that we all go through.
You make every song sound better,
taught me how to write a letter
I think everyone should get along like me and my first stereo

And you used to sing me to sleep
and always stood behind me
you saw me off when I had to go
my first true love was my first stereo

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo

Green light, outta my way
seems like just yesterday
that you played me my very first mix tape
Gave me the courage to say what I wanted to say
when it never comes out that way

oops, I'm in trouble again. should of listened to them
Back to my room and then we're safe now
Feels like when we were ten, in my room listening
To some Michael Jackson, relaxing

And you used to sing me to sleep
and always stood behind me
you saw me off when I had to go
my first true love was my first stereo

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
nobody's perfect just like me
into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playing next on the radio?

Something tells me I'll never be close to another like you
helped me through the things that we all go through.

Everyone wants, everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
nobody's perfect just like me
into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playing next on the radio?

i met you at the club that night
where i was spinning records
and my heart said
hey now
hey now
hey now
hey now
yaaaow

you said you were pleased to meet me
through the sweet smell of your perfume
and blew me
away now
way now
way now
way now
yaaaow

later on that week we went out,
talked under the stars until the next
day now
day now
day now
day now
yaaaow

you drank your Fruitopia
and we never ran out of things to
say now
say now
say now
say now
yaaow

any minute im not with you
i hope i'll see you soon
there's just something that happens
when you walk into the room

and instantly i feel so complete
it hits me right about the time you kiss my cheek
and you give me this feeling
it's like no other feeling
but it knocks me off my feet

please don't ask me what i like about you
cause it's every little thing you do
and that's just the way you make me feel

and i don't think
that there are any others out there like you
and i wont blink cause that would mean
i'd miss a second beside you

and maybe you know what i mean
or maybe this is just a dream
i pinch myself just to make sure
but i'm still here and there you are
i wonder why we just met now
it just kind of happened somehow
but here we are together and
that's all that matters in the end

and instantly i feel so complete
it hits me right about the time you kiss my cheek
and you give me this feeling
it's like no other feeling
but it knocks me off my feet

please don't ask me what i like about you
cause it's every little thing you do
and that's just the way you make me feel

you can never ask for too much
cause i'd travel the world just to feel your touch
that's just the way you make me feel
