Know Me

I can't wait any longer
It seems too far away
I have to let this feeling
breath outside of me
You think you know me
You don't know me
Think you know me
You don't know the first damn thing
You think you know me
You don't know me
Think you know me
You don't know the first damn thing
And it's okay if you don't
I'm not gonna hold it against you
I just need you to see like I do sometimes
So keep your eyes, mind, heart, and
black and white notebook open
Cause when you
Think you know me
You won't know me
Think you know me
You won't know the first damn thing
Think you know me
You won't know me
Think you know me
You won't know the first damn

Let Go

I don't care about your boyfriend
I don't wanna hear you say, "I can't believe what he just did"
He probably does it all the time are you blind?
Maybe not, but you are definitely dumb
Give it up he won't answer
You're the chick on the side tonight
Don't be so naive to believe he's faithful
He's not
Baby let go
You gotta let go
I said baby let go
Baby let, let
Baby let, let Baby let go
You gotta let go
I said baby let go
Baby let, let
Baby let, let
Baby let go
Nobody cares about your girlfriend
We don't wanna hear you say, "I can't believe what she just did"
She always does it all the time are you blind?
Maybe not, but you are definitely stupid
Give it up she won't answer
You're the guy on the side tonight
Don't be so naive to believe she's faithful
She's not
Buddy let go
You gotta let go
I said buddy let go
Buddy let, let
Buddy let, let
You got to let go
Buddy let go
I said Buddy let go
Buddy let, let
Buddy let, let
Buddy let go
You need to let go
You gotta let go
You need to let go

Lonely Alone
03:51
|
|||
|
All my friends are acquaintances
I'd like to say we're closer than we are
But we're not
Maybe it's okay, if we don't see each other every day
Just
Take comfort in knowing, knowing
You're not lonely alone
Take comfort in knowing, knowing
You're not lonely, you're not lonely alone
All these lies are useless, they keep us all in Houston
Where we live our lives on couches in front of TV's
Let's take a ride out East toward Georgia
Or maybe double back toward California
I mean it, if you haven't seen it, you need to
Chasing dreams ain't easy
Especially when you feel like you're at it alone
So hop in that car and head to your friends
And when you see them tell them
Always
Take comfort in knowing, knowing
You're not lonely alone
Take comfort in knowing, knowing
You're not lonely alone

Goodbye
02:43
|
|||
|
She wants nothing to do with me
Neither does he
Opposite genders sharing a mutual disease
I know they think they're better than be by the tone that they're taking on the phone like,
"Yeah, man. For sure. Let's get together and make some hits"
Goodbye
I've got better ways to waste my own time
Goodbye
Sucks to hear you lie, but at least I know I tried
You never listen to my criticism
You just gloss on past
Too busy listening to your friends
that are always kissing your ass
I guess there's comfort in that
Thinking, "Ol' Ryan got it wrong"
But tell me which one of them friends
has ever wrote a song..
That's what I thought
Goodbye
I've got better ways to waste my own time
Goodbye
Sucks to hear you lie, but at least I know I tried
(slammin' cowbell solo)
Goodbye
I've got better ways to waste my own time
Goodbye
Sucks to hear you lie, but at least I know I tried

Think I'm Cool
02:35
|
|||
|
I fumble my hands, I fumble my words
My actions are odd around you
You have a funny way of making me feel like a fool
What can I do to keep my disguise
I want you to think about me
But I don't want you to think just anything
No
I want you to think I'm cool
I need you to think I'm cool
I just wanna be liked by the people that i like
And so do you
How can you like him when
I'm right here beside him
Some things I can't ration through
Some things I shouldn't have to
I'm easy to play but hard to create
He's hard to listen to and hard to relate
Whatever I'm fine
I'll sip my drink and recline
Cause
I want you to think I'm cool
I need you to think I'm cool
I just wanna be liked by the people that i like
And so do you
It's just hard to understand
These people assigning brilliance
To things I consider to be
less than interesting
Am I wrong?
Are they wrong?
Are we all wrong?
All wrong?
Whatever I'm fine
I want you to think I'm cool
I need you to think I'm cool
I just wanna be liked by the people that i like
And so do you

I Oughta Know
02:39

Can't stop me from grooving
I got my ways and you got yours
Get on your feet, clap your hands
You might not get to do this again
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
But since I don't, I'ma smile and pretend I do
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
But since I don't know, I'ma smile and pretend I do
Cause it feels too good to ever let the music stop
When the music rocks
Rockin
Rollin
Turn me up
Let me hear that chorus one more time
Yeah
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
I oughta know, I'ma smile and pretend I do
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
But since I don't know, I'ma smile and pretend I do
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
I oughta know, I'ma smile and pretend I do
I oughta know, I oughta know the future
I oughta know, I'ma smile and pretend I do

Get Away
01:23
|
|||
|
What are you?
You've made me believe you're something I need
Without you
I don't question everything
So I need you, to get away from me
Loving and hating are equally as motivating
Debating which one I feel more
Toward you for you I've assumed the role of a fool
But not anymore, no not anymore
No, I don't need you
I just need you
To get away from me

Fire Away
03:28
|
|||
|
This burning in my chest is moving straight into my throat
And no one even knows, no one even knows
Remind me, what I'm nervous for
I forgot the words again
So
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh
This burning in my lungs is climbing right behind my eyes
No one seems surprised, no one even knows
Remind me, what I'm nervous for
I forgot the words again, words again
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh
Sometimes I forget I'm doing what I love
And I forget to be happy, I forget to be happy
Sometimes I forget that I'm doing what I love
And I forget to be happy
Don't forget to be happy
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh
Fire away, fire away
Fire away, oh

Gone
03:58
|

|
Before I sleep, my stomach starts to knot
Disgusted by mistakes I've made
Angry at the ways I've changed
I want to break things
If it'll make me feel alright again
At night, at night I'm screaming
Gone, gone
I'm not gonna think about it
Gone, gone
I just want you gone
Gone, gone
I'm not gonna think about it
Gone, gone
I just want you, i just want you, i just want you gone
Gone from my mind
Leave the lessons take the memories from me
And I'll try to sleep the paranoia off
Until then I'll just do my best not to do it again
To keep me from screaming
Gone, gone
I'm not gonna think about it
Gone, gone
I just want you gone
Gone, gone
I'm not gonna think about it
Gone, gone
I just want you, i just want you, i just want you gone

Knockdown

Knockdown drag out mentality, it's like you are a fallacy
Tonight I will be making you reality
Tired of listening when I'm the one who really deserves to talk
Be quiet if you'd like to come along
I'll be where misery and melody meet
Half asleep half a cold drink by my feet
I may slur but I mean every drunken word I speak
Down to the lowercased letter
Down to the lowercased letter
Knockdown drag out mentality, I hope you're getting sick of me
Cause I know I'll get sick of you eventually
Tired of falling down a hill that I felt needed to be crossed
I just hope I'm not too far along
With vodka on my mind, thoughts on my breath
Maybe it's nonsense, still,
It's no good to keep nonsense on my chest
Knockdown drag out mentality
Knockdown drag out mentality
Knockdown drag out mentality
I'm only leaving quietly if you could kindly pull the sickness out of me
Knockdown drag out mentality
I'm only leaving quietly if you could kindly pull the sickness out of me
