Hoobastank Album

Whenever I step outside, somebody claims to see the light
It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.
'Cause everyone thinks they're right, and nobody thinks that there just might
Be more than one road to our final destination

But I'm not ever going to know if I'm right or wrong
'Cause we're all going in the same direction
And I'm not sure which way to go because all along
We've been going in the same direction

I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame
For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing
For something to fill the space, was all of the time I spent a waste
'Cause so many choices point the same way I was going.....

So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy?
I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them
And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe?
I'd like to think that I can go my own way and meet you in the end.

But I'm not ever going to know...

I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all alone I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me

I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control...

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me

And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

[Verse 1:]
I thought it was too good to be true
I found somebody who understands me
someone who would help me to get through
and fill an emptiness I had inside me
but you kept inside and I just denied
some things that we should have both said
I knew it was too good to be true
cause I'm the only one who understands me

[Chorus:]
what happened to us
we used to be so perfect, now I'm lost and lonely
what happened to us
I know deep inside I worry did I use my only

[Verse 2:]
remember we thought we were too young
to really know what it takes to make it
but we had survived off what we have done
till we could show them all that they were mistaken
who would have known the lies that would grow
until we could see right through them
remember they knew it we were too young
we still don't know what it takes to make it

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
I could have made it work, I could have found a way,
should have done our best to see another day
but we kept it all inside I knew it was too late
and now we live with the consequence we made to throw it all away

[Chorus:]

Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a whole and we're searching for anything to hold on to
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away.....

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together, together everyday
We have to escape....

We could be living how we wanted to
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going through what they went through
There has to be someplace that nobody knows, somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone.......

we have to escape.......

I wanna live
I wanna leave
I wanna open up and breath
I wanna go
I wanna be
I wanna feel it constantly
Gotta show
Gotta stay
I've gotta feeling that won't go away
I've gotta know
If they got away
My opportunities

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I need to think
I need to feed
I need to see if I still bleed
I need a place
I need a time
Cause I need to step outside that line
Gonna give
Gonna take
I'm gonna scream till I'm awake
I'm gonna budge
Gonna budge
Open up the door

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

And if I knew
When the door was open
I'd go through
I would go on through
And I can say
What I do never be the same
Never be the same

Just one,
Chance is all I ever wanted
Just one,
Time I'd like to win the game
From now on,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one,
I'd take the chance if I can have it
Just one, just one

I knew how it felt to be another one in need of someone to show the way
Until you saw a part of me that nobody else could see and my life hasn't been
the same.....

You make me feel lucky as I can be....

Before I couldn't get a break, never had a chance to the impressions I want to
But now it falls right into place when I get to see your face then there's
Nothing that I can't do....

No more dark days, only sun rays
No more hard ways with you today

You make me feel..........

There was a time when our dreams felt so real
Just out of reach but not too far to feel
Together we'd finally make then come true
'Cause anything's possible when I was with you
But they kept on saying we'd never amount to anything....

All of the dreams we built up from the ground
They never believed them they just tore them down
We will rebuild them from the start, we will rebuild them from the heart

'Cause once all we wanted seemed so far away
But with every step it was closer each day
The more that we tried it was within our grasp
The more that they told us that it wouldn't last
And everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything....

I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)

Go ahead, you know just what you want to do
Don't deny, you feel cause I feel it to
Take a look all around, you'll feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground, I feel it everywhere

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)
(who cares if you don't like it)

This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see

I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you dont like it)
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
To let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)
(if you don't like it)

There never seems to be, because what I believe, a moment I'm not trying
To show them who I am. why can't they understand the things that they're
denying?
They're denying.......

So what should I do, just lay next to you as though I'm unaffected?
And who should I be when they're judging me as though I'm unaffected?

A chance they'd never give to ever want to live the life that I am made of
There's nothing left to prove, my heart's forever true.
What is it they're afraid of?
Afraid of.......

Before they even saw my face, they knew that I was not the same
And decided I was not the one for you, for you...

So what should I do? I'm not unaffected
And who should I be? I'm not unaffected

I'm filling up inside like I need to open wide and pour my heart out to you
But I'll just get denied and all I wanted was someone to hear what I'm going
through...

Everytime that I need you around you're never there, you're never there
Because in my life is where I need you now
But you're never there, you're never there

You were supposed to see all the signs I left read in front of your face
You were supposed to be the closest thing to being me
But you're the furthest away.
Away.
That's because........

And I doubt that I will ever find out
If there's a way to get out of feeling all alone
'Cause lately I've been thinking maybe that no one's going to save me
I'll do it on my own..........

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you're near
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear?
Make them disappear

There's a pain that sleeps inside
Sleeps with just one eye
And awakens, the moment that you're near
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

All of the things
That happened just so I can be here
Is pulling the strings
Do I have company?
Cause I'd like to think
That I'm in control of my own destiny
All of the signs begin to point the other way
Who would've known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened anyway
Maybe it's me
Or maybe there's something more to it
I believe what I see
Cause seeing is believing
And I like to think
That I'm in control of when and how I go
What if I stepped outside
And I got blown away
Who would've known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened anyway
Happened anyway...
I never saw it coming, I never saw it coming
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened
Who would have known
That I'd be standing right here next to you
Cause I never saw it coming
Who would've known
That I'd get control of things I do
All the could have should haves
Never would've happened to me
And now I know that everything
That's going on around me
Is meant to be

You want what you deserve
But it's right in front of you
You want something better
Than any other
You don't even bother
To figure what it is
That you think you deserve
You'll find it all one day
But not this way
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
I can't take anymore
Have you ever asked yourself
What am I looking for
You're indecisive
You are just another
Caught up in all of this
Plastic glamorous world
You'll never see
Who you could be
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
Your world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes
If only you could see
That there's something you can do
To make this better
Open your eyes
Your heart will follow
Open your eyes
See what you've been missing
Open your eyes
And find the answer
You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
