Rooney Album

I was young, I'd seen it all
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall
I went to school, I never learned
How it feels, how everything you love can burn
And it never stops, it's all I got
And I never know when to turn
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again

[Chorus]
And I don't know why I'm here
I don't know where I'll go
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
But I'm holdin' on
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can

I moved away, I left the band
I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand
And every day, I could feel something missing
I went home to get a record deal
And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead,
To them, it's just another meal."
Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me

[Chorus]

It's not over yet, no, it's not even close
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?"
When it's all done, when it's gone,
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
To a place when I was mine

I don't know why I'm here
I don't know where I'll go
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
But I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm holdin' on for as long as I can

I like what you wear and I like how you move
If I was staring it's because I'm in the mood
I'm down with your love, come on hold out your hand
I'll take you where I'm going, you wanna see the promised land

[Chorus:]
I tell you yes but you tell me no
I ask why, you never let me know
You close your eyes, I hold you tight
But it's no surprise, I got no where to go
Even if I try try, If I lie
You're never gonna leave, leave me alone
I'm going home, you call my bluff
I can't get enough, can't get enough

I can't get enough

Give me a little time, take my mind anywhere
Put on something special, anything, I don't care
Just don't tell your friends, there's nothing left to see
Cause if it gets around, it gets around, it's the end of me

[Chorus]

I can't get enough

Don't blame yourself maybe I had too much to drink
One less margarita, one more trip to the shrink--come on!

[Chorus]

I can't get enough

I know my hands are tied
I can't see nothing when you're inside
And I know the nights are long
You're falling asleep with your new dress on
Close your eyes and drift away
I'll be right here when you're awake

[Chorus]
It's funny how no one's laughing
The champagne's popping and the baby's coughing
It's the same old story, the same old movie
But when you're with me it's a masterpiece
'Cause you are my only friend

You know nothing's free
You can pray all night, but they'll take their fee
And who knows how long it'll take?
Why stand in line with all the fakes?
Look around, look away
Tomorrow's just another day

[Chorus]
Yes, you are my only friend
[2x]

Lying in the pool water, looking at the sky again
Drifting while the days go by, floating in circles

[Chorus]
I see you up in the blue
I send a thought to you from the prism of my mind
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue

Flying in the long, wide airplane, looking at the world below
Watching all the clouds go by, flying in circles

[Chorus]
I see you out in the blue
I send a thought to you from the prism of my mind
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue

My baby blue, my baby blue
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue
My baby blue, my baby blue

I'm a'changing every day, changing every single way
I can't stop this train I'm on when it's still in motion
I don't want to fail you now, but it's a'coming somehow
Look at me here on my knees, begging you please

[Chorus 1]
If I were you, I'd be hurting, too
'Cause it's all or nothing, all or nothing now

What happened to the golden days?
Was it just another teenage craze?
It's so hard to let it go when it's all you know
I don't want to compromise the way I feel behind my eyes
Listen to the conversation, give it time

[Chorus 2]
If I were you, I'd be hurting, too
'Cause it's all or nothing, all or nothing now
If you were me, I know you'd see
That it's all or nothing, all or nothing now

Come on, do you think I just want to use you?
Don't think I can't see through all the hurting you do

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I'm all or nothing...now

I could feel it coming
I could sense that nothing good was happening that day
I got a funny feeling
I could smell that something bad was cooking at my place that night
Something wasn't right

I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies [2x]

Started as a tingle
Pretty soon those jingle bells were ringing in my ear
Wanted to ignore them
Just forget the omen sign that showed up loud and clear that night
Oh, something wasn't right

I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies [2x]

Premonition - I could see the future all the time
Recognition - something wasn't right
I've seen it all like a picture in my mind

I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies

How did I end up here?
Thought the sky was blue and clear
Everything was going fine
I guess I learned my lesson
Listen carefully to me
I know things can fall apart over night
Oh, something wasn't right

I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies, lies
I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies

You're looking at me, you're lost in a stare
Well, I have to admit I didn't know you were there
We're trying our best to keep this alive,
But neither one of us knows how to survive

[Chorus]
I push you, I pull you
I hurt you, I argue
I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna lose you
I fight you, I hold you
I hate you, I still love you
I don't wanna lose you...

I don't want to think about yesterday
I know what I said
But the more you put up with me, the worse I get
Come on, teach me a lesson
And make me regret the things I said

[Chorus]

It's not you, it's not me
It's just something we can't see
I'm giving up, giving in
Yeah, I'm gonna let it be

I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna lose you [4x]

[Chorus]
It's gonna take the world to change
It's time to start helping each other
There's nobody left to take the blame
We're all gonna have to take it together

Stars and stripes beyond the sky
They're painting their patriotic lie
Who said you were wrong to choose what you face to lose?
We can do better

[Chorus]

Don't be afraid, there's nothing to fear
There's only so little time, my dear
What have we gained at the end of the day?
Just a bill that we can't pay

So what's the point in running?
Everyone's got something they don't want
So tell me what have you done with all that freedom you sit on?
Come and go, and take it all for granted

I remember when we held each other while the world changed
I was eleven, you were thirteen - we never seemed to act our own age
How could we know in a heartbeat things would never be the same?
What a fool I was to think nothing's ever coming our way
It's her little brother's dream to be on the same team some day
A sentimentalist, a natural, but now I don't know what to say

I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way

Well, everybody wants a piece, but that's how it goes
They'll use you and bruise you and leave on the side of the road
Don't confuse me for one of them, I'm never putting on a show

I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way

This ain't about you and this ain't about me this time
It's about looking past the things we share inside
So don't turn your head
You could be dead, you could be on your own

I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way [3x]
Go on, go on, go on

I met you at a time in my life when I was lost, when I was down,
And every hope had hit the ground
I couldn't see how good you were, I was blind
I didn't know what I was looking for

It's funny sometimes how it all comes around
Like a sound and like a style, it's lost and it's found
Now it's the time to call it a day
It's getting old, it's getting late
There's only so much I can say

[Chorus]
When I look at you, my troubles all go away
I'm someone new, it feels just like a new day
When you hold me tight, I get lost in your arms
I know tonight I've finally found what I'm looking for
You know you're what I'm looking for

I thought I knew what was best for me,
But I need more than a fantasy and more than a dream
I keep on wondering how many times you let a good thing slip away,
And loneliness is all we find
You're better than me, so tell me what do you see?
I'm like a dog without a leash, I'm a lock without a key
We've taken our time and grown back together
I can love you and miss you in all the right ways

[Chorus]

It's funny sometimes how it all comes around
Like a sound and like a style, it's lost and it's found
Now it's the time to call it a day
It's getting old, it's getting late
There's only so much I can say

[Chorus]

You know you're what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
I'm looking for you
Yeah, you

I know what you're after
I know why you came here
You got the devil in you seeping out your pores
You can't bring me down low
You can't pull me under
I've been there, honey
I am going back alive

[Chorus]
Not in my house, not under my roof
Not in my house, anywhere
Not in my house, not in my house

This land is my land, this land ain't your land
You had it all wrong, start singing a new song
Go run home to momma, tell her she done raised a loser
But you better not tell your father, he might not ever recover

[Chorus]

Get out, get out of my house
Get out, get out of my house

You spent your whole life trying, but you're going home empty handed
You can always grab onto something, but it's just a lonely night
You know where to find me, sitting on top of all my glory
I'll be sure to leave a space for you at the end of my story

[Chorus]

Get out, get, get out
Get out of my house

I'm so afraid to leave the house
I want it all, but don't know where to start
Well, I'm no good, yeah, I'm no good
So I'm giving up, I'm giving up

[Chorus]
Don't look at me, I'm a tragedy
Don't look at me, don't want your sympathy
Don't look at me, I can read your face
Don't look at me 'cause I'm a disgrace

I need a job (I need a job)
I never work (I never work)
I sit around (I sit around)
I feel like such a jerk (Like such a jerk)
Well, I'm getting old, I'm getting old
So I'm giving up, I'm giving up

[Chorus]

How can I change when you don't know my name?
How can I live when I've got nothing to give?
If I disappeared, would you even care?
If I take your advice, I'm just a sacrifice

Oh, you see...

[Chorus]
