No Science 03:55
Archeology, digs junk up from the past, And when we started doing that, I knew we wouldn’t last New technology, helps us to see the truth, Can’t explain how you could, there’s no science to why you left Cardiology, can’t fix this broken heart, It’s not a perfect science yet, the muscles won’t restart Etymology, the history of words, Can’t explain what you said, there’s no science to why you left Meteorology can’t prevent the perfect storm, It just puts a warning up, so you can mitigate the harm, Anthropology the study of our kind, Can’t explain what you did, there’s no science to why you left

Give Back 03:53
No one ever said, that it would work out, every single time, for everyone, In every occasion, sometimes shitty things happen To the greatest people, in the world But there's not a lot we can do, about that now, Yeah that was then, it's in the past, We've all made choices, not everyone agrees with, But was then, this is now, we must move forward, Never look back x 4 Even though it can be tempting Never look back x 4 SOmetimes we take for granted, All of the sacrifice, we all make for the ones that we love, each and every day, Did you ever think, that your mom wanted to be an actress, But instead she wiped your ass, You better believe your dad is a hero, He was at the top of his class, Now he's middle class, working his ass off, So you can go to college, Get an education, escape this town Give a little back x 4 Even though it can be trying Give a little back x 8

Cola 03:17
By now, you should've figured out that she's sweet, And she'll probably hurt your teeth, yah she's cola x2 And sometimes, you'll swear that you'll quit But you always save a hit, yah she's cola x2 In a can or in a bonbon, she is, my favourite flavour, She's cola x2 When I'm down and needing lifting, she is what I am after, She's cola x2 By now, you feel the bubbles on your tongue she's a cool chick but she's rather young She's cola x2 And sometimes, you just have to take the fall She's just 19 after all She's cola x2 In a can or in a bonbon, she is, my favourite flavour, She's cola x2 When I'm down and needing lifting, she is what I am after, She's cola x2

Don't assume that you're afraid of heights, we just have to get timing right, tell me the story of how it all went wrong, You take the pictures, and I'll sing the song we fell asleep in the wicker chair, I'm slightly drooling in your curly hair, You always said I was your favourite DJ, But now there's radio silence and that's ok Bottle of wine at your favourite spot, We're getting drunk in the parking lot, Stars on your face count them one, two, three, four You left too soon, had me wanting much more I tried to call you I got no reply, am I really such an awful guy? You said some time, you'd like to see me DJ, But now there is radio silence and that's ok To love and lose is not the worst thing in the world, at least you can say you had the girl, for whom other guys would give their soul, but you won her through rock and roll, For what she did I could never blame, Because love is such a messed up game, So if you come around to see me DJ, There won't be radio silence, no that's not my way, No that's not my way

Anyone Else 03:20
If it was anyone else x 11 If it was anyone else, would it have such a perfect ending step in my house, look at me rapidly descending I can't have you back, this is fun but it is just pretending Have a good time, just recall it's my cash you're spending Anyone else x 3 If it was anyone else, would it have such a perfect ending step in my house, look at me rapidly descending I can't have you back, this is fun but it is just pretending Have a good time, but recall it's my cash you're spending Anyone else x x 11 If it was anyone else, would it have such a perfect ending step in my house, look at me rapidly descending I can't have you back, this is fun but it is just pretending Have a good time, but recall it's my cash you're spending

Yr a little drunk, Yr theory’s bunk, Cuz this nice guy, Got chew home alive, Yr giant talk, But stumbling walk, You can’t keep pace, Fall on your face, Catch yr reflection It’s so hazy, Guess you could tell you drive me crazy u wont be coy, Too nice a boy, I never needed it to be You & me How dare you? This is my pain too x 2 Yr company’s All I really need I can’t offend If I’m just a friend Another drink, Can’t barely think, What have u had?, I’ll call you a cab, There you go, Running your trap, don’t mean to harm But words attack It’s a little crass, You don’t know my past, I never needed It to be You & me How dare you? This is my pain too x2 I could be good, Now you’ll never know You hurt my feelings, I won’t let it show, You got some troubles, I can’t solve ‘em You’ve had it rough How’s that my problem? There’s something wrong, In your mind, Yr just a way To pass the time, It’s more than you, Can’t you see? I never needed it to be You & me How dare you? This is my pain too x2

Poor House 03:55
It goes without saying You are with me in my dreams, The record lingers on When I go walking I can feel your hand in mine The record skips a beat When I go driving I don’t go past your place Someone new lives there When I’m selecting, I play all your favourite songs Hoping you might hear Are you in, or Are you out Are you living in? A poor house I tried to be reckless, But I didn’t have the heart Some people never change I tried to write new songs, but The lyrics stayed the same Like symbols carved in stone Sometimes I get wasted, To see how far I’ll fall It’s never far enough When I wake trembling I call out your name, It’s the only thing that helps. Are you in, or Are you out Are you living in? A poor house

Jay tem 05:36
District is burning, my strawberry swirl Empire crumbling, around my world Disco vibration, I love you girl What’s your conviction for a better world? Calgary burning, what can I say? What’s your resolution for a better way? I am quite desperate, can you tell Without my baby, personal hell There is no question, It must be you You’ve got your mission, You know what to do Discos are burning, to hear your voice But you can’t love them, you’ve made your choice Stellar vibration, beautiful girl It is your mission, to save the world, You leave on Sunday, can’t believe it’s true My cosmic baby, I believe in you

No Idea 03:58
You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you x3 You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you standing there It's September and I feel cold today, this summer just seemed to slip away, Blow off college, and you can stay with me, because I've a feeling that this was meant to be, Come winter you might not have the time, to spend wasted with some musician guy, Education will help you see it's true, I'm not worthy to have someone like you, You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you x3 You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you standing there You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you x3 You have no idea how far I'd go, yah, just to see you standing there It's September and I feel cold today, this summer just seemed to slip away, Blow off college, and you can stay with me, because I've a feeling that this was meant to be,
