On the second of September, I asked you out that day My heart leapt up with joy, when you said okay That weekend we went on a boat ride underneath the sun Being together with you was so much fun You are the girl of my dreams You make life worth while You make everything okay With your gentle smile On our next date we went to the movies all by ourselves I could never work up the nerve to tell you how I felt I wanted to kiss you on the cheek But I missed my chance and now I’m feeling oh so weak You are the girl of my dreams You are the girl of my dreams You make life worth while You make everything okay With your gentle smile On our third and final date at your house with some old friends We were so close that night only holding hands From that point on I knew I’d love you till the very end Little did I know though, my life was not so grand You are the girl of my dreams You make life worth while You make everything okay With your gentle smile On the second of October, you gave me back my art I didn’t know what this meant but you were breaking my heart You told me that you’d rather be friends than lovers I went home that night and cried under the covers You are the girl of my dreams You make life worth while You make everything okay With your gentle smile [Solo] You are the girl of my dreams You make life worth while You make everything okay With your gentle smile

I’ve had so many dreams about you every night Sometimes they’re so real that I wake up and cry When I see you after school, it makes me feel so bad Knowing that I’ll never have you makes me feel so sad I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted I’ll build myself a wall so no one can climb in Please hear what I’m not saying Pink where are you at, have you forgot my name I hide myself from friends, I just can’t stand the pain I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted I’m broken hearted

I thought you were my best friend Turns out I was wrong Cause you’ve been going behind my back For way too long For the last couple of days I have been crying To be forgotten by your friends Is worse than dying Last night at the Halloween party I noticed you and her Getting along now just fine But I wasn’t too sure For the last couple of days I have been crying To be forgotten by your friends Is worse than dying Saw you today at school With the girl of my dreams You were sitting super close Lovers it seems For the last couple of days I have been crying To be forgotten by your friends Is worse than dying [Solo] For the last couple of days I have been crying To be forgotten by your friends Is worse than dying

I’m going to California with a pocket full of tears The plane crashing down is the least of my fears No what I’m afraid of is at the dock My heart is heavy like a sunken rock I’m going to California with a burden on my back I’m ready to die out here, emptiness is what I packed Why does she love him more than me? Mountains as far as the eye can see When I wake up I’ll be in bed In the morning you’ll find me dead You’ll find me dead, on the ground You’ll find me dead, on the ground

L.A. 05:48
They say LA is the place to be But I just want to get out My friends don’t hear me Even when I shout Not a cloud in the sky The sun is shining is bright Seeing him with her It might as well be night Someday your wounds will heal Your love will die today You’ll find yourself again In the city of LA We’re all together now But she’s the one that I miss For her to be happy Means that I don’t exist I want to be a person Without her I’m just a beast I don’t show that I hurt But they could ask at least Someday your pain will go Your love will die today If you survive that is In the city of LA Walking in the street They’re laughing and having fun I die a little inside Underneath the sun No one says a word They act as if all is fine All I want to do Is hang myself and die Someday you’ll laugh with them Your love will die today If you let it go In the city of LA

Rose Parade 03:18
They ask me to come down and watch the parade To march down the street like a Duracell bunny With a wink and a wave from the cavalcade Throwing out candy that looks like money To the people passing by, they all seem to be going the other way Won’t you follow me down to the Rose Parade? Tripped over a dog in a choke chain collar People were shouting and pushing and saying When I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar Ridiculous marching band started playing Got me singing along with some halfhearted victory song Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade? Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade? Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade? Trumpet has obviously been drinking Cause he’s fucking up even the simplest lines They say it’s a sight that quite worth seeing It’s just that everyone’s interest is stronger than mine When they clean the street, I’ll be the only shit that’s left behind Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade? Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade? Won’t you follow me down to the rose parade?

Pasadena 05:57
The Californian sunset is etched upon my mind Wish that I could say I’m having a good time Everyone’s happy except for me The reason I’m so sad is obviously Pasadena, where did I go wrong? Pasadena, can you hear my song? Pasadena, I’m all alone Pasadena, you are my home All those flowers, couldn’t comfort me All those sights with nothing to see All those marchers with no where to go All those people that didn’t know Pasadena, where did I go wrong? Pasadena, can you hear my song? Pasadena, I’m all alone Pasadena, you are my home The sky is starless and bible black Your streets hold memories that take me back Nothing has ever been the same Wish that I could just forget your name Pasadena, where did I go wrong? Pasadena, can you hear my song? Pasadena, I’m all alone Pasadena, you are my home [Solo] Pasadena, where did I go wrong? Pasadena, can you hear my song? Pasadena, I’m all alone Pasadena, you are my home

Everything is over now There’s time for one more dance While the night is young There’s time for one more sweet romance Fill up your aching heart Forget the pain Don’t let them tell you that you can’t Realize that they’re all insane Jump in the water Before they come out Sink to the bottom Of the ocean floor Jump in the water Before they come out Sink to the bottom Of the ocean floor Everything is over now There’s time for one more waltz Let them settle down While your walls fall Cleanse yourself tonight While you have the chance To hell we will go For that sweet romance No don’t do it now It’s not your time yet Don’t ruin their night Never let them forget you For that sweet romance No don’t do it now It’s not your time yet Don’t ruin their night Never let them forget you
