1. DO ME IN

Force out a smile to answer your concern
I’m under attack of kind and empty words
And an endless abyss of misplaced charity
Undetermines the flight in me

Caged by low light and well meant pleasantry
Each cradled step will get the best of me
Feeling bound and in debt to what I got for free
Your helping hand will do me in

Roll me over
Just another day to ear my keep
An icy shoulder
Will be the only way to cut my teeth

Let’s not meet eyes and say we did
Your helping hand will do me in

Maybe it’s patience that I’ve never known
Maybe it’s early to be grown
Everything you could want everything you could ever need
And the end so incomplete

Roll me over
Just another day to ear my keep
An icy shoulder
Will be the only way to cut my teeth

Let’s not meet eyes and say we did
Your helping hand will do me in
Let’s not meet eyes and say we did
Your helping hand will do me in

Can’t take you up on what I need
I’ll bite the hand until it bleeds
You know your kindness smothers
I don’t want to go without a fight
Armed to face the world but locked inside

I don’t want your love to do me in
I don’t want your love

Can’t look past my own ingratitude
Keep in mind harder times I never knew
You know your kindness smothers
Looking out everything’s so cold and grey
But it’s still miles better than this place
Can’t go without a struggle


2. JOHN HUGUES BLUES

Don’t know what I would do without our cold John Hugues
The screen’d be so blue without our old John Hugues

Membership’s down in breakfast club
We might not have that class reunion
I never met my uncle Buck
And we skipped Saturday detention at Shermer High

Don’t know what I would do without our pal John Hugues
The screen would be so blue without our old John Hugues

If Ferris Bueller stayed in class
And Lisa never saw creation
No planes or trains to mark our past
And we missed out on big vacations in Wagon Queens
Lampooning ‘round with Molly Ringwald
Rule the town with Anthony Hall
It’s Broderick’s favourite day
Drive off with Chevy Chase
Make sure John Candy’s doing fine

Don’t know what I would do without our old John Hugues
The screen would be so blue without our old John Hugues

If parents never made mistakes
Kids never got left home alone
Sixteen Candles on my cake, all dressed in pink
And you’re the one
I’m waiting on
The Griswald family’s going nowhere
Wally world’ so far away
Hang out with Long Duck Dong
Go to the Senior Prom
Don’t worry John
We saved your place

We’re from your world
We’re from your world
We’re saying “Danke Schoen”
For all you gave to teen
You saw right through us to the core
Our youth’s worth fighting for

We’re from your world
We’re from your world
Each one a genius brain
A budding casket case
A princess fresh and rosy cheeked
A new misfit, a star athlete

You know we’ll miss you dear John Hugues
What are we gonna do?
We’ll try with all our might
Hope it’ll be allright
Sincerely Yours
The Teenage Race


3. FADE AND FALL AWAY

Every time the same sensation
More failure than creations
All the effort spent without a trace

Fade and fall away afraid to face it
Forfeit the power to decide
Fade and fall away
It’s all forsaken
With each reaction to resign

Coming home with arms held empty
Routines can be so tempting
When nothing’s falling into place

Fade and fall away afraid to face it
Forfeit the power to decide
Fade and fall away
It’s all forsaken
With each reaction to resign

Once you find it
Tie and bind it
Try and guide it
Stay behind it

Without it you’ll fade away now
Without it you’ll fade away

Handed me my own reflection
Called me out on my deception
Torn down to crawl back up again
Laid bare with the frustration
Lost hope of inspiration
Still have to see it to the end

The chance to take
You’ll find a way
It’d be a mistake just to leave it
The chance to take
You’ll find a way
It’d be a mistake just to leave it


4. STILL WAITING

Two for one this one’s for two
I think you’ve got my number
And all the looks I get from you
Gives me room to wonder, Baby

You’re always trying to play tough
Well I’m hoping you’ve got the guts
To stop pretending circumventing
I know you’re making eyes at me

Always waiting
Scared and skating
Tired of never living the day
It’s worth a try please don’t hold back the words to finally get us on our way

Two for one this one’s for two
I think you’ve got my number
And all the looks I get from you
Gives me room to wonder, Baby

You’re always trying to play tough
Well I’m hoping you’ve got the guts
To stop pretending circumventing
I know you’re making eyes at me

Always waiting
Scared and skating
Tired of never living the day
It’s worth a try please don’t hold back the words to finally get us on our way

Always waiting
Scared and skating
Tired of never living the day
It’s worth a try please don’t hold back the words to finally get us on our way

Tradition is underrated “I’m still waiting”
And I’m so tired of begging for you just to walk my way
Tradition is underrated “I’m still waiting”
And I’m so tired of begging for you just to walk my way

6. CONTINENTAL DIVIDE

Why can’t all this be easier
To see it clearer
Get past those few words
Opened old lacerations
The holes will drain me dry

Continental divide
Wishing you were your old self all the time
Continental divide
Hoping that we’re on the
Hoping we’re still on the same side

Wear through that solid promise
The golden homestead
The years that we spent
Question the truth in the pledge
Your confidence has waned

Continental divide
Wishing you were your old self all the time
Continental divide
Wishing you were your old self all the time

Whittled down to common ground
Erosion is wearing me thin
Undetermined
So close we’re blind
We both know it will never be easy


7. BURN OR RECTIFY

Dark alley
Clean these city streets
A crusade to sort out the debris
Holstered to what drives me
I travel light, alone, and unseen

Don’t want to see your face
I can decide you
You’re mine to save or to erase
You think you’re worth my time
How can you justify?

Be afraid, and expect the worst
Gonna get what you deserve
Be afraid of my line
Right or wrong
Black and white

Burn or rectify
Make revenge or right

Dark alley
Clean these city streets
A crusade to sort out the debris
Holstered to what drives me
I travel light, alone, and unseen

Don’t want to see your face
I can decide you
You think you’re worth my time
How can you justify?


8. THIRTEEN FEET

Falling down when the bottom’s out
Final flash of the solid ground
And everything you’ve said to me
What I couldn’t believe in then
Drug us here to the state we’re in

Now we’re buried down too deep

I wouldn’t be here crying
Probably be OK,
If you’d have taken over
If it had never rained so late
Rained so late

Falling down when the bottom’s out
Flash of light and a well of sound
Of everything you’ve been to me
Couldn’t stand to believe it then
Look at the state we’re in

Now we’re buried down too deep

Some uncertain future
I always thought you knew
Lost in your own circumstance
Don’t understand what’s after you
After you

I know, we never have to go back home
I know, it’d all be different somehow
I know we’re better off on these state roads
I know

Thirteen feet
We’re in that deep
We’d been lucky until now
Got us Joe and miles in tow
But everything just worked out
Thirteen feet
We’re in that deep
We’d been lucky until now
Got us Joe and miles in tow
But everything just worked out

I know, I’ve seen these woods somewhere before
I know, it’d all be different somehow
I know, we never have to go back home
I know, we’ll make it somehow

(No Lyrics Available)


11. BETTER END

What I wanna say is what I wanna know
Whenever you’re ready, ready to let go
Turning over words that are better left unsaid
Tracing over roads on brittle thinning tread

What’s keeping me from falling out is thoughts
Of when there was no doubt
Holds me up and turns around
The spin we’re going through

Every time I want to say
It’s not supposed to be that way
Make it through another day
It’s all I want from you

Hold on to what I should know
Blurry more with time
It’s dangerous standing too close

After all that failed and all we can’t forget
Can you stand to be so near
Carry to a better end?
After all the strain and all we might regret
Can you keep it in the past
Can you save what we have left?
After all that failed and all we can’t forget
Can you stand to be so near
Carry to a better end?


12. DELTA

Like roman candles on your doorstep
That double wide went up in flames
Still smoking out since Sunday morning
When Billy raised his life’s last stink

You could almost forget all the miles of our isolation
Cotton candy could pass for the embers of insulation
Could suspect all that he had been up to now anyway
But around here it’s hard to blame

No evening halo from the next town
Just package stores and neon glow
Crowned white fields span both horizons
Guess that’s all he’d really known

Long as he had Leanne he could stand all the quiet sundowns
Had a smile like a light that could waken the ghost of this town
Just the touch of her hand gave a man all the strength to stay
Thought it’d always be that way

And it was never since he lost her
He couldn’t hold to solid ground
He chased her name in widening circles that never led him past this town

And seven years ago he lost that girl
Gave up hope in life and all it’s worth
He couldn’t find a way to love this world
She was all he’d ever known
Wouldn’t dare look to the future
Resigned to going nowhere fast
Slow down time’s race from her memory
Suspended drifting until Death

Like roman candles on your doorstep
That double wide went up in flames
Still smoking out since Sunday morning
When Billy raised his life’s last stink


13. WE (THE DESCENDENTS COVER)

I don't care what they say
Those numbers don't mean a thing
We've got it made

This world is just me and you
And we know just what to do
We've got it made

Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made)

I don't care if we get a job
We've already got a life
We've got it made

I Don't know what the future holds
All I know is you're there with me
That's all I need

Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
Hey, everythings gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)

When I look in your eyes
I know what I want in life
Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less

(Everythings gonna be okay)
Nothing more, nothing less
(Everythings gonna be okay)
Be the key to my success
Nothing more, nothing less
