Relient K Album

A roll of the dice
A slip of the tongue
I was stirring up the hornets' nest
and finally got me stung
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh
Said I'd do the right thing
But the wrong was done
It's over, exuse my grammer
But the fat lady sung
Whoa Oh, Whoa Oh

And I wish I was Michael J Fox (Michael J Fox)
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Michael J Fox)
When I cleaned up my act

Yeah I don't know
What went through my head
Was my conscience shot?
Was it left for dead?

I said I'm sorry
But no one heard
'cause actions (actions) actions
Actions speak louder than words

I think I made God angry
and I'm sure that he's irate
I just hope my remorse was not too little too late
whoa oh whoa oh

Given my track record
He gave me a clean slate
I'm forgiven and I'm livin'
With no sin on my plate
whoa oh whoa oh

And I wish I was Michael J Fox (Michael J Fox)
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Michael J Fox)
When I cleaned up my act

Yeah I don't know
What went through my head
Was my conscience shot?
Was it left for dead?

I said I'm sorry
But no one heard
'cause actions (actions) actions
Actions speak louder than words

Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her.
Go up to her and say you're a believer.
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile.
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.

Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.
Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth, now she belives in sin.

She denies God when she has the chance to live for him.
The thought of it makes me cringe.
Her future looks dim.
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple.
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.

Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend. (he ate my girlfriend)
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again.
Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend.
She once believed in the truth, now she belives in sin.

Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend,
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.
Marilyn Manson he's not cool
Marilyn Manson went to Matt Hoopes' school
Marilyn Manson he's not nice
Marilyn Manson shows are overpriced
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend.

"It's 3p.m." she said, I said, "You're crazy!"
She said "Get out of bed, why are you so lazy?
Why waste the day away?" I said, "Because I'm tired!"
"Wendy's called by the way, they told me that you're fired."
(Go!)

(Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh)
So wreckless for all these years
(Woah oh oh, woah oh oh)
I crashed into a wall
(Woah oh oh , Woah oh oh)
There's a ringing in my ears
(Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh)
And it's my wake up call
(Whoa oh)
Jesus gave me a wake up call
(Whoa oh)
Take this world with a grain of salt
(Whoa oh)
Jesus gave me a wake up call
(Whoa oh oh oh)

"It's 3 a.m." she said, "Who are you, Matchbox 20?"
She said, "Are you getting rest?" Sarcastic, I said "Plenty!"
"Don't be a hypocrit." I asked "What are you saying?"
"When you praise God, do you meant it?
Are you sleeping when you're praying?"
(Go!)

(Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh)
So wreckless for all these years
(Woah oh oh, woah oh oh)
I crashed into a wall
(Woah oh oh , Woah oh oh)
There's a ringing in my ears
(Woah oh oh, Woah oh oh)
And it's my wake up call
(Whoa oh)
God gave me a wake up call
(Whoa oh)
Take this world with a grain of salt
(Whoa oh)
Jesus gave me a wake up call
(Whoa oh oh oh)

I know that pride and summertime come before fall, almost missed the bus, but Jesus gave me a wake up call.

Like a child having nightmares
I will, I will run into your arms
I'll give you all of my cares and
And this world will do me no more harm

When you're around (x4)
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
To let you know just what I'm feeling
When you're around (x7)

I want ya to stay longer.
I made you a place, a place within my heart
With you I'm so much stronger
That's why I'm glad we'll never have to part

When you're around (x4)
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to say
To let you know just what I'm thinking
When you're around (x7)

Where am I? Where are you?
There's so much time so little to do.
We're busy doing nothing cause it's vanity we prize.
You can't see nothing cause you can't see through your eyes.
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself.
You're the one to blame but you pretend it's someone else.

Life could you be a little softer to me?
Life could you be more gentle to me?
Softer (softer)
Softer to me

I'm still alive, that much is true.
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few.
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show.
The coversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I don't know.
This world can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool.

Life could you be a little softer to me?
Life could you be more gentle to me?
Yeah I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed
His flesh on the cross for me
But this world is hard,
It's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer (softer)
Softer to me

(Life could you be more gentle to me?)

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.

CHORUS
Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.

Charles, I love you,
I love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
And on your show.

CHORUS x 2
Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.

Cause it hasn't been that long
since you almost hit the tree.
Cause it hasn't been that long
since you hit the pole because of speed.

Do you remember (do you remember)
the ambulance that took you there?
Do you remember (do you remember)
they cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head.
Where's all your hair.

The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"Another foot you could be dead."
The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"You should have took the bus instead."

All you could hear
was ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk.
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk.
All you could hear
was ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk.
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk.

He could have died that day.
Which means that he would not be here.
He would have gone away,
friends and family we'd shed our tears.
But the good thing would be
is that we would always know.
He would be living
with Jesus Christ in his new home.

{slow down}

He could have died that day.
Which means that he would not be here.
He would have gone away,
friends and family we'd shed our tears.
But the good thing would be
is that we would always know.
He would be living
with Jesus Christ in his new home.

[No lyrics]

Talked to my sister late last night.
And she gave me some advice.
And what she said was right.
Talked to my sister late last night.
I said “I've got her on my mind.”
She said “It's good I know my kind.”

*Chorus*
“And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
Keep taking your time,
You shouldn't go for her full speed.
And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
Cause I know that I've never seen your
Motives more squeaky clean,
And my 17 magazine tells me that you’re in love.”

(Instrumental)

Jessica told me I should take a quiz.
10 yes or no questions
To tell me what love really is.
I searched for my answers,
I lied and said I like *Nsync.
They said my middle name's Don Juan,
And I'm sure of myself I think.

“And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
Keep taking your time,
You shouldn't go for her full speed.
And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
Cause I know that I've never seen your
Motives more squeaky clean,
And my 17 magazine tells me that you’re in love.”

“And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
Keep taking your time,
You shouldn't go for her full speed.
And maybe this time,
Maybe she's just the one you need.
I say if you’re asking me,
Love is sacred love is sweet,
My 17 magazine tells me that you’re in love.”
My 17 Magazine
My 17 Magazine
My 17 Magazine tells me that you’re in love.”

There were times in my life when I was confused.
There were things between me and God that were blocking my view.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, take these things away so I can see."
He answered my prayer and at the sight of Him
I fell to my knees.

And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.

Until,
I went on a balloon ride and i could see
Everything from up there
I went on a balloon ride and now
Everything seems clear.

I strive towards infinity.
Though sometimes I don't know what to do.
When other people laugh at me
All I do is look towards You.

Well on my way this life yet something was gone.
I looked round and round and then I found I needed some one.
So I prayed,
"Oh dear Lord, fill me up and make me whole.
Present in my life Jesus Christ, save my soul."

And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.

Until,
I went on a balloon ride and i could see
Everything from up there
I went on a balloon ride and now
Everything seems clear.

it smells so sweet outside today.
the sun smiles down, i'm in the shade.
i sit and think about all my friends and how good they are.
but when today is yesterday, i know that things won't stay the same
but i know that the memories won't go to far.

round and round the world will turn.
lessons taught and lessons learned.
jesus gets us through the good and bad times.
and lets us know that everything will be just fine.

a year's passsed since i wrote this song.
a lot's gone right, a lot's gone wrong.
but i know that jesus has been there right by my side.
and i see the sun still shines.
it shines outside and in my life,
and i know that everything is gonna be just fine.

I've got this thing for Nancy Drew
Her hair is blonde her eyes are blue
Yeah I think I'm falling in love
I wish she'd say she'd marry me
Why she won't is a mystery
Yeah I know it's me she thinks of

Yeah, Nancy Drew
Why, I love you
Yes I do

One time these criminals with their guns
They thought it would be fun
To try and kill my Nancy Drew
I jumped out and saved her life
Then asked her to be my wife
She said, "No I'll never marry you!"

Yeah, Nancy Drew
Why, I love you
Yes I do
Yeah, Nancy Drew
Why, I love you
Yes I do

It's a really big mystery
I'll put the Hardy Boys on the case
'Cause no time in history
Has someone denied my face
Has someone denied my face

Yeah, Nancy Drew
Why, I love you
Yes I do
Yeah, Nancy Drew
Why, I love you
Yes I do

And I'll be true to you
My Nancy Drew

Let's go...

is it just a car
or is it so much more?
it's a superstar
with the gas to the floor.
zero to sixty in remarkable time.
it's the automobile that's top of the line.

we've got a k car
on the road of life.
we're gonna get far
if the driver's Christ.
we've got a k car
she really suites the band
and we're gonna get far
cuz it's in God's hands, it's in God's hands

(instrumental)

Let's go....

is it just a car
or is it so much more?
it's a superstar
with the gas to the floor.
in a drag race
all the others fall
and Brandon Ebel
just gave us a call.

we've got a k car
on the road of life.
we're gonna get far
if the driver's Christ
we've got a k car
she really suites the band
and we're gonna get far
cuz it's in God's hands, it's in God's hands
