Good Charlotte Album

Like the time in school when we got free lunch,
And the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch),
And the rich kids had convertibles,
And we had to ride the bus (55),
Like the time we made the baseball team,
But they still laughed at us (you still suck!),
Like the time that girl broke up with me,
'Cause I wasn't cool enough (TRICK!!)

CHORUS
The little things, little things,
They always hang around,
The little things, little things,
They try to break me down,
The little things, little things,
They just won't go away,
The little things, little things,
Made me who I am today,

BRIDGE

You wanna hate me now,
But I won't stop now,
'Cause I can't stop now, 

Like the time mom went to that institute,
'Cause she was breakin' down (I just can't take it!),
Like the car we had that wouldn't start,
We had to walk to get around (can I get a ride?),
And that same year on Christmas Eve,
Dad went to the store (uhhh¡­see you guys later),
We checked his room,
His things were gone,
We didn't see him no more (DICK!),

Everything will be alright alright....

We'll see you there when we get there (alright....)
We'll see you there when we get there (alright....)
On the video
Or the radio
In the magazines
On the movie screens...

Spend your lazy endless crazy days inside my head
You're so selfish you're not the only one who thinks he's dead
I'm paid to smile and I'm on trial for what you think I said
But I never said that everything would be okay...
And I never said that we would live to see another day
Yeah yeah

Motivate me
I wanna get myself out of this bed
Captivate me
I would good thoughts inside of my head
If I fall down would you come around
And pick me right up off the ground
If I fall down would you come around
And pick me right up off the ground

Realistic and narsosistic
You said im selfish and obsured
Try to change my try to save me
You say I gotta learn
I'm so blind
I'm out of time
You're so unkind sometimes
I never lied I never lied I never lied
And I never said
That everything would be okay
And I never said
That we would live to see another day
Yeah yeah

Motivate me
I wanna get myself out of this bed
Captivate me
I want good thoughts inside of my head
If I fall down would you come around
And pick me right up off the ground

Walking on the streets of D.C.,
On the eastcoast where I live,
You say what's the problem,
What's with this angry kid?,
You don't like the way I walk,
Or the way I talk,
Or the way I swing my hands,
You don't like the words I speak,
Or the thoughts I think,
And I know you'll never understand,
You know - on the eastcoast,
We ride until we die - you know,

CHORUS
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind walk this way,
There's a place inside my mind yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind we'll leave today,


Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?,
And we would, change a thing or two,
We could change a thing or two,
We would change the way you think,
We would change the way I think,
We can't change the way they think so we're not changing anything,

CHORUS

BRIDGE?

On the eastcoast we ride,

I don't care about a thing today,
I used to bet I'm fed up,
And I can hear the words you say,
I wish that you would shut up,
I've got responsibility,
That is my liability,
A menace to society,
At least that's what they say to me,

CHORUS
But tonight, tonight it's on tonight,
I don't want your boring life,
And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life,

People always tell me not to waste my time,
To get a real job and get back in line,
You can't say I'll never be a millionaire,
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere,
I've got responsibility, that is my liability,
I'm questioning authority, they say there's not,
A chance for me,

CHORUS

Your future's no future,
Your future's no future,
Your future's no future,
I control my future.

And we've been here for so many years,
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there),
Every time I talk you turn away (do you care),
Isn't dad an obligation to care,

CHORUS
And we've been here for so many years,
So many years still it seems,
So complicated, overrated, complicated this feeling is love,

Well I came in the door,
I said it before,
I never let the stress get,
Me down no more, giving thanks to the lord, and I pray every day,
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say,

CHORUS

You left us one little room with a black and white TV,
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy,
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away,
A fourth and fifth and sixth but that was yesterday,
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears,
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers,

CHORUS

Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes,

CHORUS

Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like when we were together,
Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach,
And you held me through the stormy weather,

CHORUS
And I want to fall in love tonight,
And I remember when you said "everything is gonna be alright,"

Laying in the summer grass,
You told me not to talk so fast as I told you how I feel,
You made me feel right at home,
You told me I was not alone and you knew just how I feel,

CHORUS 

I know we talked about it,
I just can't get around it,
I just want one more night with you,

CHORUS 

October air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like, when we were together,
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems,
I just don't care, 'cause now you're gone away,

CHORUS

All these games you play,
They're messin' with my head, (messin' with my head)
I don't know why I stay,
I should leave instead, (I should leave instead)
When I speak from my heart, you laugh like it's a game, (this ain't no game)
Yeah, we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same ¡­

CHORUS
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me ¡­
But I don't,
I don't wanna stop,
I don't wanna stop,

Now I don't need you to buy me pretty things, (you don't pay for me)
Pay for my tattoos or buy me pretty things, (we don't want those things)
All I know is that I'm happy to see you smile (I want to see you smile)
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for awhile, (stay with me)

CHORUS

This has gone on way too long ¡­
And I'm tired of movin' on,

CHORUS

Today I screwed up again,
You said I could tell in the way you said goodbye,
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend,
He's really cool,
I get the point,

CHORUS
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you,
I heard you say,
Not a chance,
What don't you see,
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you,
I heard you say,
You're not good enough for me,

Today I screwed up again,
I wasn't paying attention,
I walked into the wall again,
I heard you laugh and saw you grin,
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand,
With all your cool friends they're really cool,
I get the point,

CHORUS

Today I'll give it one last try,
And then I know I'll wonder why,
I did it to myself once again,
I saw your boyfriend he's 6'3",
Quarterback on varsity, the football players love to torture me,
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in,
I know that I'm not fitting in with you,
And your stuck-up friends,
I get the point.

She walks down to the store at eight,
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great,
When she looks at me,
I don't know what I saw,
I think he's tryin' to make me his son in law,

CHORUS
When she,
Walks by, walks by, walks by, she walks on by,
Egos fly when she walks by,

She caught my eye on October 9th,
22 days before Halloween,
How did I know she'd be my evil queen,

CHORUS

BRIDGE
My mother warned me against girls like you,
She said stay away from them son you know they're not true,
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell she told me,
When you're fallin' down you're going straight to hell,

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 

CHORUS

Down in the streets outside of Washington, D.C.,
I wasted all my time and you were there with me,
Back then it meant so much to have you by my side,
I always had your back and you always had mine,
Sayin' ¡­ 

CHORUS
Let me go,
Have some fun,
Well my decision sucks yeah,
But I'm so young,

We'd hang out later and fight just trying to have fun,
We were such punk ass kids but we knew everyone,
And who could see through such blazedup bloodshot eyes,
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize, 

CHORUS

Communication is a lot like the wind when I speak,
It's like no one understands, and I'm left with empty hands,
Forever I can't speak,
So many things I'll never learn,
You can't cross bridges that you've burned,
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find,
So hard to find,
Don't forget to buckle when you fall,
Beneath the pressure of the seconds when,
Your life became a screamer,
Staring at the sea things become so small,
I want movies of my dreams, and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall,

CHORUS
You say that I'm a dreamer,
I say you're a non-believer,
Take out the light, take out the light start screamin',
I'm dreaming,
I'm a dreamer, no one believes me,
And you don't either,
So tell me what to,
Take out the light,
Take out the light,
Take out the light,
Take out the light start screamin

I am lost in the see-thru,
I think you lost yourself too,
Throughout all of this confusion,
I hope I somehow get to you,
I practiced all the things I'd say,
To tell you how I feel,
And when I finally get my chance,
It all seems so surreal,
¡®Cause from the first time I saw you,
I only thought about you,
I didn't know you,
I wanted to hold onto,
The things you'd never say to me,
¡®Cause you said,

CHORUS
You can't change the way you feel,
I could never do that,
I could never do that,
But you can't tell me this ain't real, ¡®cause this is real,
And you would see right through that,
In the end it's all I've got,
So I'm gonna hold onto that,
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on,

Now you've got me watching your eyes,
Got me waiting just to see,
If it goes the way it never will,
Your eyes are watching me,
And now you've got me thinking ¡®bout,
The first time that I met you,
Standing in a crowded room,
But I could only see you,
And now I hope my words will get through,
¡®Cause now I can't forget you,
I want to tell you,
If I could only reach you,
And make you feel this way,
But you said,

CHORUS

I'm sitting here, I'm thinking back to a time when I was young, 
My memory is clear as day, I'm listening to the dishes clink, 
You were downstairs, you would sing songs of praise, 
And all the times we laughed with you, 
And all the times that you stayed true to us, 
Now we say, I said, I thank you, 
I'll always thank you, More than you could know, 
Than I could ever show, And I love you, I'll always love you, 
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you, 
That you're beautiful forever, you were my mom, you were my dad, 
The only thing I ever had was you, It's true, 
And even when the times got hard you were there, 
To let us know that we'd get through, you showed me how to be a man, 
You taught me how to understand the things people do, 
You showed me how to love my God, You taught me that not everyone knows the truth, 
And I thank you, I'll always thank you, 
More than you could know, Than I could ever show, 
And I love you, I'll always love you, There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you,

If you leave, don't leave now 
Please don't take my heart away 
Promise me just one more night 
Then we'll go our separate ways 
We always had time on our sides 
Now it's fading fast 
Every second every moment 
We've got to--we've gotta make it last 

I touch you once I touch you twice 
I won't let go at any price 
I need you now like I needed you then 
You always said we'd still be friends someday 

If you leave I won't cry 
I won't waste a single day 
But if you leave no don't look back 
I'll be running the other way 
Seven years went under the bridge 
Time was standing still 
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to--you've gotta say you will 

I touch you once I touch you twice 
I won't let go at any price 
I need you now like I needed you then 
You always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once I touch you twice 
I won't let go at any price 
I need you now like I needed you then 
You always said we'd still be friends 

I touch you once I touch you twice 
I won't let go at any price 
I need you now like I needed you then 
You always said we'd still be friends someday 
Someday

If you leave 
Oh if you leave
