American HI-FI

I live my life inside a radio
I think of you and I'll turn it up, I can't let go
But when the needle comes around again
My sexecution starts all over again but...
I know, I've woke, when I get off to my stereo, stereo
I've no control
I'm making love to my stereo thinking of you
You make my heart sink to the ground
As we drop that needle down
Take all anxiety away
As we search for songs to play
'Cause what I needed in my life
Was some American HI-FI
And just as long as I'm with you
The only thing I wanna do
I'll start the night off with the lights down low
A glass of wine with a forty-five, come on, let's go
And when the needle comes around again
The crazy feeling starts all over again and...
I know, I've woke, I've fallen into my stereo, stereo
I've no control
I'm making love with my stereo thinking of you
You make my heart sink to the ground
As we drop that needle down
Take all anxiety away
As we search for songs to play
'Cause what I needed in my life
Was some American HI-FI
And just as long as I'm with you
The only thing I wanna do

The Re-Write
04:06
|

|
I got a personal syndrome
As I sing melodic tones
To write a song for you
Always puts me through
An attractive state at the things you do
But if I play the game
I always write the song the same
No matter what I do
I still write for you
But the chords I use always end up just the same
Still I play and hang on every word that
Makes me change
But every note I write for you
Stays the same
And still it makes me feel
A little like I do
When I'm standing next to you
And on a random whim I write
And progress it through the night
With all the ups and downs, and the highs and lows
Did I play too fast? Did I sing too slow?
I got a melody that's tight
And I can make the words sound nice
But as I strum along to re-write this song
It always kicks my ass
'Cause the words don't come out right
Still I play and hang on every word that
Makes me change
But every note I write for you
Stays the same
And still it make me feel
A little like I do
When I'm standing next to you
When I'm standing next to you
I got a personal syndrome
As I sing melodic tones
To write a song for you
Always put me through
An attractive state at the things you do
But if I play the game
I always write the song the same
No matter what I do
I still write for you
But the chords I use always end up just the same
Still I play and hang on every word that
Makes me change
But every note I write for you
Stays the same
And still it make me feel
A little like I do
When I'm standing next to you
When I'm standing next to you

Don't Run Away
03:25
|

|
I can't sleep
There was something recorded in my mind
Now I can't feel a thing
I'm running out of life time
It's all too big
Too big for normal day concerns
Try to maintain a little bit of comfort from the day
'Cause it's been a long time since I found someone like you
Been keeping business in the way
But we can go on and on I'll live my life with you
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Now I can't creep
I know what you're doing night and day
But I can't help it 'cause I'll fall into remission
From time to time
You might see me cross that line
But pay no mind to mistakes it's because I love you anyway
'Cause it's been a long time since I found someone like you
Been keeping business in the way
But we can go on and on I'll live my life with you
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
I just can't seem to take it
I feel the need to break it
I just can't seem to take it
I feel the need to break it

Anxiety
03:13

I'm running so slow and I cannot deny it
I'm on the edge and I got nowhere to go
But if I crack down and try to laugh about it
I'll understand, I can take some heavy blows
Oh but my heart is feeling like a feather
You push me back to the start
Let's try to pull together
Something that I never thought
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm on an ocean of all my private feelings
There sinking in and I'm drowning very slow
And if I cry out and try to reach the ceiling
My mind goes limp and I wake up on the floor
Oh but my heart is feeling like a feather
You push me back to the start
Let's try to pull together
Something that I never thought
I'm feeling like I did before
I didn't think you'd mean it
My mind was on the floor
Why can't it be the way things were before?
The way things were before
Oh but my heart is feeling like a feather
You push me back to the start
Let's try to pull together
Something that I never thought
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before
I'm feeling like I did before

I see you
You're nice
Come here
I'm here
You better run
You better hide the best you can
You gotta think
Don't put your life in your own hands
They say he walks the streets at night
Looking for his next prey
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave
There's something completely wrong inside
When demons and dark spirits control his mind
He'll hunt you down, he won't be kind
Just be glad you're still alive
And I get the feeling he's outside
I get the shivers on this kind of night
So close to me, it'll be alright
Just a few more hours until daylight
You better run
You better hide the best you can
You gotta think
Don't put your life in your own hands
They say he walks the streets at night
Looking for his next prey
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave
He'll keep feeding off your fright
So make no sound and hold your breath in tight
You have your fears, he has his knife
I hope you make it through the night
And I get the feeling he's outside
I get the shivers on this kind of night
So close to me, it'll be alright
Just a few more hours until daylight
You better run
You better hide the best you can
You gotta think
Don't put your life in your own hands
They say he walks the streets at night
Looking for his next prey
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave
You better run
You can't hide from Slasher-Dave

Oh, hey dude
Another day taking trash from an imbecile
Let me be, give it back, I don't give a shit
I'm always running away from something
Out of sight, keeping clear, fucking sick of it
Another year hiding out in the thick of it
I must do something to make it through alive
Because I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai
I'm gonna practice real hard and let my temper fly
Gonna meet a lot of chicks and be a real cool guy
And I'll kick a lot of ass at All Valley High
'Cause I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai
The shit is on, training hard, learning discipline
Got respect, having sex, tune it out again
So keep it going, no mercy showing
Sweep the leg, finish him, don't apologize
He's had enough, can't you see that I'm super tough
But just one year to make it work, alright
Because I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai
I'm gonna practice real hard and let my temper fly
Gonna meet a lot of chicks and be a real cool guy
And I'll kick a lot of ass at All Valley High
'Cause I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai
Sweep the leg! You got a problem with that?
No, sensei.
No mercy.
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir
Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir
Because I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai
I'm gonna practice real hard and let my temper fly
Gonna meet a lot of chicks and be a real cool guy
And I'll kick a lot of ass at All Valley High
'Cause I'm gonna join the Cobra Kai

Only You
03:42

Today is the first day I can be myself
Tomorrow I can turn back into someone else, into someone else
And now is the time I should let you know
I'll always try to be there, never let you go, never let you go
When I fell down
You hung around
With all the pain in my heart
Someday I'll find
A new piece of mind
'Til then I will love only you
Before I was worthless and running down
Powerless to conform to, 'til you came around, 'til you came around
My palate is focused, I'm back on the ground
You say that you love me and you'll stick around, and you'll stick around
The time has past
I won't come in last
You've changed my whole world into new
And someday I'll find
A new piece of mind
'Til then I will love only you
Today is the first day I can be myself
Tomorrow I can turn back into someone else, into someone else
And now is the time that I should let you know
I'll always try to be there, never let you go, never let you go
When I fell down
You hung around
With all the pain in my heart
Someday I'll find
A new piece of mind
'Til then I will love only you
'Til then I will love only you
'Til then I will love only you

TV Talk
03:23
|
|||
|
Well I guess that's it then
We grew apart and fell into submission
Said some things and made some bad decisions
Then you flew away
Now my television tells me what to say
Now my intuition
Is to stay in bed and just watch television
Play guitar to find some motivation
That I threw away
And the bad decisions, chalk it up to
Nightmare terrors
Lazy lovers
Finding sleep with separate covers
Why you angry?
Can you see me?
Or am I talking to my TV now?
My TV now
Nightmare terrors
Lazy lovers
Finding sleep with separate covers
Why you angry?
Can you see me?
Or am I talking to my TV now?
My TV now

No More Room for Lovers
03:12
|
|||
|
Well, I can't wait all night, girl
Just to find myself alone
Time to drop the struggling fight, now
And find myself a home
Well, time ain't been on our side, girl
And the pills won't fix any pain
Look into my two dead eyes, now
And tell me you don't feel the same
The time has come for changing
And I don't mind
'Cause there's no more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
In my eyes
Differences have gotten away, love
And the pressure point is starting to boil
Can't you see we're barely surviving
Wrapped in feudal turmoil
Oh, but we should just leave it alone, girl
Put this feisty demon to bed
Time to put your best foot forward
Leave this dying friendship for dead
The time has come for changing
And I don't mind
'Cause there's no more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
In my eyes
Yes, sir
There you go
The time has come for changing
And I don't mind
'Cause there's no more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
No more room for lovers
In my eyes

Under a Rain Cloud
03:38
|
|||
|
And there's a rain cloud
Under the moonlight
Following what I do
And every time I start taking chances
I'll lose a romance or two
So, I know, I know
I'll let it show
Underneath the photograph of you
I know, I know
I'll make it so
As long as you see what I say is true
And there's a rain cloud
With every heartbeat
With every step I choose
It makes it easy
With a little more comfort
For training myself to lose
So, I know, I know
I'll let it show
Underneath the photograph of you
I know, I know
I'll make it so
As long as you see what I say
Down with the sound that I'll play underground
But it won't last 'cause I won't act
But I am who I am, run away from the plan
Take a step back 'cause it doesn't really work that way
That way
Doesn't really work that way
That way
Down with the sound that I'll play underground
But it won't last 'cause I won't act
But I am who I am, run away from the plan
Take a step back 'cause it doesn't really work that way
And there's a rain cloud
Under the moonlight
Following what I do
And every time I start taking chances
I'll end a romance or two
So, I know, I know
I'll let it show
Underneath the photograph of you
I know, I know
I'll make it so
As long as you see what I say is true
Is true
