Before

[No lyrics]

. . .



1, 2, 3 GO!

Asleep at the wheel 40 miles left to go
rollin' in on fumes to rock the show,
we don't need fortune and we don't need fame,
we don't need bright lights to spell our name,
All we ever wanted was to play

[Chorus:]
Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

We weren't the first but were holding our own,
10 long years ago those seeds were sewn,
A song in your heart gets you up when you're down,
like the songs we play we love this sound,
we're just like you straight from the crowd

[Chorus x2]

Hold fast to your friends
Be true to yourself
And stop tryin' to be just like somebody else
Be Yourself

[Chorus x2]

Play It Loud


. . .



Am i the one that's going crazy
I'm so tired of masquerading
I pretend to be so well adjusted
Maybe it's just me and i'm disgusted

I need a room at a mental penitentiary
So lock me up with maximum security
The doctors say that they don't know whats wrong with me
So strap me down it's time for my lobotomy

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

One little minute seems to last a lifetime
Like staring at the ceiling even though you're blind
We all pretend to be so complicated
You and me just maybe dislocated (dislocated)

I need a room at a mental penitentiary
So lock me up with maximum security
The doctors say that they dont know whats wrong with me
So strap me down its time for my lobotomy

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting on real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

The doctors say
The doctors say that i'm okay
The doctors changed their minds
And now i'm here to stay

Sorry babe
I'm not crazy
Pardon a me baby
Yo no soy loco

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

the doctors say that im not crazy afterall
the doctors say take two of these and give me a call

get up!


. . .



There is no map, there are no signs,
We're on our way, we're crossing lines
Strap on your boots, go pack your bags,
No time to rest, no time to lag,

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight

This life is good, the road is clear,
It's time to shift into high gear
Everything we're passing fades,
It's what inside our hearts that stays

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight

Travel by the moonlight
Travel by the moonlight

I’m broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again

You chose the words you knew would make me cry
You prolly done it to a hundred guys
I’m not cryin’, I got somethin’ in my eyes
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn’t like the way I sing
I’m not cryin’, but my eyes they really sting

I’m broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again

You slapped my face before you said goodbye
Called me a loser, hopin’ I would die
I’m not cryin’, I got somethin’ in my eye
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn’t like the way I sing
I’m not cryin’, but my eyes they really sting

I’m broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again


. . .



Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t go quietly
Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t sit patiently

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Where’s life taking me?
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Always traveling

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I wanna love my job
I wanna love my life
But most of all, I wanna fall in love

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you,
Come on over,
Watch the late show,
Stay up talking until two

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
Everything sucks when you're gone

A dream of our reunion makes me crazy just to think,
How so very far away you are,
My hope begins to sink

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
Everything sucks when you're gone

It's not ok,
I've baked dinner here for two,
And it's not ok,
I've got candles lit for you,
And It's not ok,
I've got you're favorite records out,
And it's not ok,
You should have let it be,
And ran after me

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
(I want you! I need you!)
Everything sucks when you're gone
(I want you! I need you!) [x2]


. . .



I’ve been everywhere around the world and finally here tonight
You seem to be the only one to make me feel alright

I feel good when I know you’re coming down
I feel good when I know you’ll be around

[Chorus:]
So quit your life and stay with me
We’ll order in and watch TV
We’ll paint the house and wash the car
We’ll take a walk but not too far
So quit your life and stay with me

New York to Los Angeles and all it takes in between
After miles and hours on the road, you’re the best I’ve seen

I feel good, you’re the best friend that I’ve found
I feel good when I’m coming back to your town

[Chorus]

Stay with me [4x]

I heard the road, it was calling my name
I walked towards the light and I ran towards the flame
I ran towards the flame

After all is said and done, I don’t mind saying again
I say it’s true that I’m in love with the places that I’ve been

I feel good when I know you’re coming down
I feel good when I know you’ll be around

[Chorus]

So quit your life and stay with me
Stay with me [3x]

I'm taking off,
Heading out of this town
Get this plane off the ground,
And safely set it down

We had our first fight late last night,
I watched her walk right out the door,
She said she needed something more:

More laughter, more tears,
More praises, more cheers,
More everything, in all the ways, you are

I'm taking off,
Maybe I'll bum a ride
I'll turn with the tide,
And spend my nights outside

The chance I had just passed me by,
Cause now my girls began to cry,
She said she need something more:

More laughter, more tears,
More praises, more cheers,
More kissing in the car,
More staring at the stars,
More colors outside the line,
More undivided time,
More everything, in all the ways, you are

More everything in every way,
Every second of the day
And every thought that's played out in my mind
You're everything that I've been trying to find
You're everything that I've been trying.....to find

More laughter, more tears,
More praises, more cheers,
More kissing in the car,
More staring at the stars,
More colors outside the line,
More undivided time,
More everything, in all the ways, you are
More everything, in all the ways, you are

I remember times back in Hollywood,
Best friends making music-we were feeling good,
The top was always down and the sun was always shining bright

I remember singing to the radio,
On a sunset strip-we were driving slow
The top was always down and the stars were always shining bright

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living a dream

Everyone was there so we got into the car,
Heading out to Vegas, didn't get very far,
The top was always down and a tire blew a flat that night

We changed the tire then we turned right around,
Picked up a hitcher all the way into town,
the top was always down with the gas pedal on the ground

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living a dream

We'll be on the town tonight,
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight,
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight

We watched the freaks fade away in the day,
We watched celebrities come out to play,
The top was always down and we knew our way around

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living our dreams

The city in our eyes, the music in our souls
We loved singing loud to the stereo,
Left coast punk rawk, that's our scene,
Rock n'Roll....We're living a dream

do do do do dododo
(I said) We're Livin' a dream [x7]


. . .



When there's nowhere else to hide,
When there's no one left to stand beside,
When everthing seems wrong,
I've been with you all along

When what's left is all you really know,
And nowhere's where you want to go
When they treat you like you don't belong,
I've been with you all along

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

Well time is always running out,
And we are in a storm of doubt
When the narrow path is long,
I've been with you all along

When your heart has been tied down,
And thrown into the sea to drown
When the love you knew is gone,
I've been with you all along

Every step of the way,
Every passing day
Go!

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find


. . .



On the outs,
When she don't like you anymore
On the outs,
Your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs,
Your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs,
When things just don't seem like before

So you want to get her back now,
But you don't really know how
You've tried everything, and nothings working

What would be your first clue,
That she don't really like you?
Was it the way she never had much to say?

On the outs,
When she don't like you anymore
On the outs,
Your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs,
Your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs,
When things just don't seem like before

Do you need a sample?
Or mabey an example?
Of real life and forgiveness to get over this

So take a little time out,
And learn that you can live without
A dead-end girlfriend that you've put all your faith in

Manipulations cut your throat,
and now theres blood stains on you coat

On the outs
When she don't like you any more
On the outs
Your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs
Your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs
When things just don't seem like before

on the outs
(is it over?)
on the outs
(is it really over?)
on the outs
(is this over?)
on the outs


. . .



I need the comfort,
That's in your arms,
Squeeze and hold me tight, and keep me warm
I need the passion,
That's in your heart,
Say you'll never leave and be apart

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
So don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,
So don't walk away

I need the glow of,
Your darling face
Accept this crown of love,
And live in grace
I need the colors,
Painted in your mind
Your beauty and your brilliance,
So hard to find

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
So don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,

You are my angel,
Please don't be afraid
You are my saving grace,
My hearts first aid
So don't walk away,
So don't walk away

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
Don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,
So don't walk away
Don't walk away
So don't walk away


. . .



Every night I get down on my knees and pray
I thank the Lord above for you each day
I was lost and then I found you
You make my ocean, you make my sky blue

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me, everything
You make me, me

What lesson has the Lord thrown up for me?
You are the answer to that mystery
I was lost and then I found you
You make my ocean, you make my sky blue

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me, everything
You make me laugh
You make me cry
You make me live
You make me die
You make me, me

Height won't separate us from this love
Depth can't separate us from this love
Can't separate from this love…

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me, everything
You make me laugh
You make me cry
You make me live
You make me die

These days so few seem to have faith
In the son of man and in his grace
I feel your breathe upon my face
As you replace, my broken wings

You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me, everything
You make me, me


. . .



The time is near when I dont need this phone
And we'll stay home alone and watch the twilight zone

We're still young and I know your afraid
But I don't regret all the plans we made

Drive-in movies always make you sleep
You end up coughing Z's in my backseat

I've seen it in your eyes a thousand times
I see you young again, I see the way you shine

You're not alone anymore
(You're not alone anymore)
Nothing will be like before
(Nothing will be like before)
[x2]
You're not alone anymore

Read your book while I make some hot tea
I love it when you fall asleep on me

I'm still me and I know you're still you
Together we're in shock, together this is new

You're not alone anymore
(You're not alone anymore)
Nothing will be like before
(Nothing will be like before)
[x2]

Sometimes I don't understand how you feel
But surely my love for you is real
You and your waiting, I won't die in vein
Cause nothing will ever be the same

Nothing will ever be the same
The same

You're not alone anymore
(You're not alone anymore)
Nothing will be like before
(Nothing will be like before)
[x4]

You're not alone anymore
You're not alone anymore

After

[No lyrics]

. . .



Finally met her parents on a Saturday night
they gave me the EYE wouldn't let me out of their sight
they didn't like the looks of me right away
they told me to go,
so I decided to stay

eyes were brown
and my hair was blue
of course they had a problem with my tattoos
I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man

Her dad asked what I did
I said I play in a band
He said he hated devil music and he wasn't a fan
Musicians can't be trusted and your job is a joke
I don't want my daughter spending her life broke
After that I didn't really know what to say
so I said I think I'll date your daughter anyway

I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man

I had to go drop the kids off at the pool
causes lately I've been having problems with my stool
Came down the stairs, that's when I tripped and fell
felt like I was on my way straight to hell

Now I think is time to make my way to the door
But for sure tomorrow night, that I'll be back for more

I can't please everybody all the time
so right now all I wanted to was make you mine

Your dad can't stand me
and your mom's in shock
your brother wants to kill me
and your sister won't talk
the whole dinner table talking about my hair
But I don't really care
It's just a family affair

your parents hate, the way I dress
your parents say my life is a mess
your parents hate what they don't understand
All I want to do tonight is be your man
