Let's go - If all that you want is a story
Let's go - And we can write our own
Let's go - 'Cause this place is getting so boring
Let's go - We'll make it alone

With all that you are, are you falling apart?
If you wanna get far, better never get caught
You don't wanna be last, better get a head start
If you wanna get far, then you'd better far away

But no one ever really likes to change
I guess it's easier to stay the same
We'd never have to adapt or alternate
Who needs progress anyway?

Let's go - If all that we have is this moment
Let's go - Why waste it in this hell?
Let's go - Stop running around like a rodant
Let's go - There's a story to tell

Far Away

Finding a balance to my life
From the very lowest, to the heights
It's the day-to-day vs. the adventure
I can't expect to get this right, if you can't see it in my eyes
These nights are made to remember

She said, said it's best, but seemed distressed when I confessed I agree
So I ask, does the path you've chosen make you happy?
Do regrets take up the best part of that hole in your chest?
And the rest is filled with failed attempts, among emptiness

There's so much that I know you hide behind that smile
There's so much that you want to block out of your mind

These nights are made to remember
This is what that summer's all about
Hey-oh, hey-oh, sing it out

She said, she's a mess, but she confessed she's scared and can't get to sleep
How is it best if I can't expect your full honesty?

I never wanted to become your enemy
I only wanted you to show some faith in me


Made To Remember

I spend my time wondering how
I'm gonna waste my life here in this town
I need a second to catch my breath
To chase my pain away

I'm a little unsure of growing up
A little insecure, but then, who's not?
Too scared of sticking to solid ground
So I stumble around

I got a call from a likewise minded friend
An invitation to get fucked up again
We're done with wishing the week away
So let's drink away the weekend

It's late at night on a Saturday
We've paid and slaved our week away
I need to say I can't handle this
But you feel the same, it's obvious

We only came here to celebrate
But neither of us have a toast to make
If it's true that life's a game
Then we lost this one before we even played

It's been really very nice to see ya
But I should've stayed home with pizza
Watching Ghost Adventures
Falling asleep on our sofas

We all stand proud 'til we all fall down
We search for happiness
But we're ignorant to what's before our eyes
We all stand proud 'til we all fall down
We just want happiness
But we're blind to it and it's failing our lives

And I just want you to know
How much I love you
You are stability
In a wold engulfed by its own insanity

I never thought I'd be tied down
The plan was to be out by now
I better keep it all inside
Just smile and I'll be fine, it's eating me alive

I just want you to know
How much I love you
I just want you to know
But it's for the best that you don't
I just want you to know
How much I love you
And how I can't wait 'til you get home
And now, I just wanted you to know
How much I love you

Happiness

Finding what you want is not as easy as you thought it'd be
But I've found breaking promises is easy if you want it
When lightning hits the ground, I ignore the flames and write a song
So believe me when I say I'm really not the friend you wanted

So go - face this on your own
Find another dying star and gravitate towards it
So come on, go - face this on your own
Find out what you truly need and don't stop 'til you've got it

'Cause somewhere out there
Just beyond the atmosphere
There's a place where I can disappear
And somewhere down here
Drowning in another beer
There's a place where I can disappear

Take off your blindfold because there's more than what you think you know
Erosion on the Sphinx enclosure shows it could be so much older
But we never question things if we're told it's a fact
If we always lived our lives like that, we'd still believe the Earth was flat

So go - face this on your own
Watch them like a satellite put secretly in orbit
So come on, go - face this on your own
Find out what you truly need and don't stop 'til you've got it

'Cause somewhere out there
Just beyond the atmosphere
There's a place where I can disappear
And somewhere down here
Drowning in another beer
There's a place where I can disappear

Where someone can become anyone
I'm not done, a carrion, but I'll carry on
'Cause somewhere out there
Just beyond the atmosphere
There's a place where I can disappear

Somewhere out there 
Just beyond the atmosphere
There's a place where I can disappear
And somewhere down here
Drowning in another beer
There's a place where I can disappear

Disappear

Hey, younger version of myself
I've fallen down and I think I need your help
You said by now we'd have a plan
But I still haven't figured it out
You swore we'd always stay that way
If you could see me now, what would you say?
I've become a slave to this routine
And I've given up on all my dreams

All my days
Have fallen from the pedestals where I thought they'd be placed
And all my life
Is spent running from the proper to the foolish path
But I never end up learning from the past

I miss my friends and long walks home
And every weekend, another punk rock show
We had the dreams of old-time settlers
Ambitious, fearless and relentless
You said, "don't do the things that hold you back or compromise you"
You said, "follow your dreams and leave the failures of the past behind you"

All my days
Have fallen from the pedestals where I thought they'd be placed
And all my life
Is spent running from the proper to the foolish path
But I never end up learning from the past

I've seen the waves
Crash down on shores and break away
And I've seen the waste
As we slave our lives and fade away
But this old, decayed
Memory of my younger self would say
"If things need to change
Maybe we shouldn't be afraid"

Hey, younger version of myself
I've fallen down and I think I need your help

I've seen the world and sailed it's seas
The world either ignored or it didn't see me
I could be so much more than this
And I've still got so much more to live

All my days
Have fallen from the pedestals where I thought they'd be placed
And all my life
Is spent running from the proper to the foolish path
But I never end up learning from the past
I never end up learning from the past
I never end up learning from the past

All My Days

I'm just one little person out of seven billion people
On this one tiny planet out of eight little planets
In this one star system out of a hundred billion
In this one galaxy out of another hundred billion
So I can't help but feel slightly insignificant tonight
About my life...

I think my head might be about to explode
After trying to figure out where all the little things go
Everything between the lines has been messing with my mind
I left you all behind, I guess I should apologise

So I'm sorry for everything
I just wanna achieve 
But I keep coming up empty
What would you expect from me?
I know dwelling is pointless
Am I coming off awkward?
Or am I just looking too much into this?

Another day, another way
Another prophecy of how the world is gonna end
So I'll grab a couple beers and some pizza with my friends
Sit back, relax, get engulfed by the solar flare 

But I've got a little spark in me
It's something no one can see
'Cause there is no other like me
God, I hope that you'll like me
All this waiting is pointless
Life for now and enjoy this
Before you end up reading too much into this

I'm just one little person out of seven billion people
On this one tiny planet out of eight little planets
In this one star system out of a hundred billion
In this one galaxy out of another hundred billion
So I can't help but feel slightly insignificant tonight
About my life
I can't help but feel slightly insignificant tonight
But at the same time

In this one galaxy out of a hundred billion
In this one star system of a few hundred billion
On this one tiny planet out of eight little planets
And out of seven billion people there is only one person who's you
So I know that you'll feel slightly insignificant at times
But it's alright
And I hope that you'll feel amazingly significant tonight
'Cause it's your life

Slightly Insignificant

I'm lost of all direction
In this stupid situation
Somehow all of this confusion
Blew right out of all proportion

Now let's put this in perspective
Something must have been defective
I'm a little too protective
You're a little too sensitive

If you're lost in the night
Somewhere out of sight
I'll be there faster than a comet
If you're far from the light
And can't take your own advice
If you need a friend to vent out all your problems
Well, there's beers here with our names on them

If you need to ask a question
I can promise you I'll listen
We can fix this situation 
And forget this ever happened

If it's over that's a shame
That we can wash this down the drain
But don't you ever say
That I'm the only one to blame

If you're lost in the night
Somewhere out of sight
I'll be there faster than a comet
If you're far from the light
And can't take your own advice
If you need a friend to vent out all your problems
Well, there's beers here with our names on them
Hell, there's beers here with our names on them
Yeah, there's beers here with our names on them

There’s Beers Here

Your eyes shine and illuminate
But something makes me hesitate
I said before, I'm an idiot, it's true
I swear to love and to protect
But I'll never be an architect
I don't know how to build a life with you

And maybe we're just waiting for a change
And maybe we shouldn't be afraid
Although times may get harder
They say that makes us smarter too
But I keep falling so in love with you

These lessons that we say we've learned
We push aside and can't come to terms
With knowing that we'll never live our dreams
So while you sit and meditate
I'll sit here plotting my escape
Not from you, but from reality... Come with me

And maybe we're just waiting for a change
And maybe we shouldn't be afraid
Although times may get harder
They say that makes us smarter too
But I keep falling so in love with you

And maybe we're just waiting for a change
And maybe we shouldn't be afraid
Although times may get harder
They say that makes us smarter too
But I keep falling so in love with you
I know that's not the smartest thing to do
I will always be an idiot for you

I’ll Never Be An Architect

Somedays I feel I'm on my eight of nine
With no idea what I wanna do with my life
And that's the thing, I'm running out of time
Will who I wanna be forever live in my mind?
Will who I wanna be forever live in my mind?

I leave the TV on
So I don't feel lonely
I try to write a song
But all I get is self-pity

And I don't know where I'm going
And I think everyone that I know has that problem
It's our problem

I tried a little romance
I guess I came across too intense
I tried to be a man
But all you ever did was shoot me down

And I don't know where I'm going
But I think everyone that I know has that problem
It's our problem

Who am I?
And who have you made me?
'Cause I think that lately
We've been losing our minds
And who are you?
'Cause I thought you were happy
But you're so close to snapping
How wrong could I be?
How wrong could I be?

Somedays I feel I'm on my eight of nine
With no idea what I wanna do with my life
