Best Life

There's a party out in Park View tonight
It's a short ride away, but it'll be alright
Because we are living our best life
I've got a feeling all the best kids are there
Singing about all the love we should share
'Cause we are living our best life
Isn't it lucky we've got each other
Aren't you glad you made it here?
Tell all your friends where it's all going down
Marvel at how fast the word gets around
That we are living our best life
I lost track of time and danced until 3
This is exactly where we needed to be
'Cause we are living our best life
I don't have the answers to life's big questions
But when we're together it all comes clear
That sometimes the distance that you've traveled can't be measured out in miles
And that's not just point of view
It's true nobody lives forever, but these moments were made to last
So I'm spending them with you
Tonight we're game for whatever
Life's too short to let it pass
We're all in this thing together
So take this moment and make it last

Spend all day staring at screens
Never knowing what any of it means
Robots fighting for your time
Ones and zeroes line by line
Validating swipes and scrolls
Algorithmic mind control
And we’re all players in this game
But to them we’re all the same
They’re screaming
Feed me information
Give me all your thoughts and time
Log in, zone out, this is what your life’s about
If you can call it life at all
Dopamine hit with each beep
Got you sucked in way too deep
The hooks are in and won’t let go
They’ll pump you for everything that you know
They’re screaming
Feed me information
Give me all your thoughts and time
Log in, zone out, this is what your life’s about
If you can call it life at all
Constant connectivity
Has made it so that we can’t see
We’re data on a graph
With every heart, thumbs up, and laugh
I’m more than just information
I’m not a product you can buy
So take these lines and give me back my time
I’m not an object in your store
And I don’t need you anymore

Close your eyes
Imagine that we're both standing
In the rain
On a summer afternoon
Somebody said
This all feels so familiar
But nobody could say why
Now here we are
It's just like a John Hughes movie
You feel it too
There's something in the air
You'll be the boy
The one with the reputation
I'll be the girl
From the wrong side of the tracks
Eccentric and vain
Anything but ordinary
Their stories go on and on and on and on and on
Now here we are
It's just like a John Hughes movie
You feel it too
There's something in the air
Clever and cruel
Each moment never-ending
Take us back to relive it again and again and again
Take my hand
Rewind the video cassette
Bring me back there
And never let me go
Now here we are
It's just like a John Hughes movie
You feel it too
There's something in the air
Clever and cruel
Each moment never-ending
Take us back to relive it again and again and again

Hi, I'm in Delaware
And I'm just calling to say that I miss you
And all the stupid antics we'd get up to
Things just haven't been the same
But at the end of this tour I'm coming home
Rolling down 95 with the windows down and the music up
We're adventuring in our own special way
Do you remember watching Wayne's World on the couch
Reciting every single line
We did that dumb shit all the time
Museum hopping, record shopping
These were the things that made sense
When did we stop getting magically whisked away
When did we succumb to the mundane day to day
Hi, I'm in Delaware
And I'm just calling to say that I miss you
And all the stupid antics we'd get up to
Things just haven't been the same
But at the end of this tour I'm coming home
Static and whistles from the dial up machine
Would drown out all the sounds around
And voices in between
The ones that said that we're not worthy
And that we should walk away
But we would not bow down
And just look at us now
Risk-taking, record-breaking
We came here to play, so game on
Do you ever think about the way things used to be
I fall to pieces when nostalgia gets the best of me
Hi, I'm in Delaware
And I'm just calling to say that I miss you
And all the stupid antics we'd get up to
Things just haven't been the same
Will this stand the test of time, nobody knows
But at the end of this tour I'm coming home

Wish Her Luck

The second hand on the clock counts down to midnight
As the coffee maker brews its second pot
Anxious toe taps convey consternation
Caffeine jitters, or maybe not
Aspiration meets hesitation
But inspiration is just outside the door
Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can’t you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You’re the only thing that’s standing in your way
In your head you’re doing calculations
Weighing pros and cons like you always do
But it’s time to turn it off, time to get moving
After all the shit they put you through
Deliberation, too much contemplation
How much more of this will you endure?
Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can’t you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You’re the only thing that’s standing in your way
Wish her luck ‘cause there she goes
Off to someplace she don’t know
So fed up with the status quo
It all stopped mattering long ago
No excuse, no time to waste
She smells freedom and needs a taste
Done with waiting, must make haste
Get the fuck out leave no trace
Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can’t you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You’re the only thing that’s standing in your way

The Real World

Never thought I’d see the day
Never thought I’d feel this way
And yet here we stand
A moment passed, the sun went down
How did we get so turned around
This was not what we planned
Like candles on a birthday cake
We burned so bright, now just a haze
And I forget how things went wrong
But we once believed in fate
Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to
Everything was so intense
Now it doesn’t make much sense at all
But that’s okay
In these moments we are high
It’s now or never, do or die
At least for today
‘Cause people come and people go
And people you will never know
Feel every feeling that you feel
A million miles away
Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to
It’s time to move on now
It’s time that we find our way
Out in the real world
Where it’s just another day
All the places that you’ve known
All the spaces you’ve called “home”
Every smile and every tear
Every minute of every year
And all the progress that you’ve made
A bittersweet hit parade
Of every lover and every friend
And everything you thought would never end
We've been through torrential rain
Dealt with heartache, lived with pain
In the end it'll be okay
And if it's not, it's not the end
Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to

Vai Se Foder
03:24

Don’t accuse me of not listening
When you refused to speak
Don’t make me feel bad for being strong
Just because you were too weak
Avoidance is so easy
Denial’s just the same
But hiding your head beneath the sand
Won’t take away your shame
Don’t you dare play the part of the victim
Because you’re afraid to act
And don’t try to twist the truth around
To make fiction look like fact
There’s no reward in cowardice
No glory in running away
Time will keep on passing by
And you’ll still bear this blame
Vai se foder
Vai se foder
Don’t even think for a second
That ignorance makes you immune
And don’t bother with the pretense
We all know the problem was you
But sadness doesn’t serve us
Revenge won’t make us whole
Forgiveness is far too good for you
But they say that it’s good for the soul

Will Not Back Down
02:57

I’ll do whatever it takes to prove them wrong
For better or worse this is my song
It doesn’t matter what the odds may be
Fight tooth and nail to get ahead
Don’t plan on sleeping ‘til I’m dead
Come at me with all you’ve got
You don’t scare me
Just give me a shot and I’ll take it
I’m a pro at faking it ‘til you make it
You may think I’m weak
I think I disagree
I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down
Move out of the way, I’ve got ambition to feed
And if you can’t give me what I need
Leave me alone and let me live my truth
The history books won’t write this down
No written record will be found
I’m just here to do what I set out to do
So don’t blame me if you’re intimidated
It’s not my fault you feel emasculated
Just let me do me and I’ll let you do you
I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down
They put these shackles on me
And I’m gonna fight ‘til I’m free
They won’t hold me long
‘Cause I will not back down
I’ve heard every word that you’ve said
The echoes loud in my head
And I’m here to tell you
That I will not back down
They put these shackles on me
And I’m gonna fight ‘til I’m free
They won’t hold me long
‘Cause I will not back down

Move Along
03:28
|

Somebody pinch me
I must be dreaming
But I don’t want to
Get out of bed just yet
I need some time
Some time to process
All the inconceivable
Damage that’s been done
But now it’s done
Now it’s over
And everyone around will say
It’s time to move along
It’s peculiar
Ain’t seen nothing like it
It’s funny how these hands played out
And where the dice did fall
It’s not complicated
Just close the circle
Tie up all your loose ends
‘Til only you remain
Because it’s done
Because it’s over
And the time has come
To finally move along
So let’s not linger
Let’s not dwell
There’s more than one way through this
Just as far as I can tell
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
So watch me go
Everyone’s a critic
Everyone pretends
We won’t be the last ones
To defend
Let’s not linger
Let’s not dwell
There’s more than one way through this
Just as far as I can tell
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
So watch me go
Watch me go
Watch me go
Watch me go
