Get ready
Here we are again
Everybody
Rock your body
Life’s a party
Here we are again
Get up and dance
The rocket’s here out of the ordinary rocketeers, on a mission to move your feet
We’re not here to change the world we are here to prove that entertainment can be cheap
So raise your hand and say o o
On a mission to move your feet, We’re not here to change the world we are here to prove that entertainment can be cheap
So raise your hand
Rock steady
Who’s your daddy
Get sweaty
Have a drink or two
Jump in the pool now
just to cool down
get the heat up
up up and away
The rocket’s here out of the ordinary rocketeers, on a mission to move your feet
We’re not here to change the world we are here to prove that entertainment can be cheap
So raise your hand and say o o
On a mission to move your feet
We’re not here to change the world we are here to prove that entertainment can be cheap
So raise your hand

I feel like going out tonight
It’s been a while now… since I had a good time
Money in the bank, what’s the use in that when you’re dead?
I’d rather spend it all on my friends
I can’t wait ‘till this week’s over
I can’t wait ‘till I get to spend time with you
Bending the rules to break out of morality
Oh - now I see clear this daily routine
I was heading up for a tragedy
Oh - it’s good to be freed
I can’t wait ‘till this week’s over
I can’t wait ‘till I get to spend time with you
Hang out all night - oh that’s keeping me alive
Bending the rules to break out of morality
Oh - now I see clear this daily routine
I was heading for another tragedy
Oh - analysis: weird
I can’t wait ‘till this week’s over
I can’t wait ‘till I get to spend time with you
Hang out all night - oh that’s keeping me alive
Hang out all night - oh that’s keeping me alive

The Neverending Story

You were the last one to drink from this bottle that’s getting me drunk as I’m writing this.
And your scarf’s still on my desk - I can picture the way that you dressed in my head right now.
And I’m so tired of this last week, I’ll always remember these first days of summer we just spent.
I’ll always remember the way that I hoped these days would never end.
I’m thinking ‘bout the candles around the sofa that we shared and the blankets that kept you warm
the way we sneaked out of my house yesterday - they wouldn’t understand what we had anyway.
I’m thinking about the laughs in the car that we had, and the sing-a-longs to Fall Out Boy
and all the things I’ve said last night, the things I hoped to come true one day.
Be my guardian angel
In this neverending story
Be my guardian angel
In this neverending story
The stage has been set and maybe I won’t have the lead
but I’m so grateful to have been in your life for this brief time.
I’m thinking about the laughs in the car that we had, and the sing-a-longs to Fall Out Boy
and all the things I’ve said last night, the things I hoped to come true one day.
Be my guardian angel
In this neverending story
Be my guardian angel
In this neverending story
But now you’re gone – and I’m not sure when we’ll meet again but there’s still so many things I‘d like to say to you.
You were the last one to drink from this bottle that’s getting me drunk as I’m writing this song.

My friend, I really got to tell you something
Your girlfriend is going out with me
She said: “well basically, it’s all your fault”
It’s like this, she’s just not in love with you
My friend, I think that you’ll agree on this one
She’s hot and really good in bed
When she is ripping all my clothes off
I can’t imagine she’s sleeping with you
So I just write to let you know
Fast times with your girlfriend
Well actually, she’s your ex
Last night, when you kissed her
We just had oral sex
My friend, don’t take it too personally
There’s more fish in the sea
And when you want to talk to someone
You can always count on me
Tonight I’m falling down
I know for sure
I’ll be someone else - who’s the one that’s going in your pants
Lie to me - hold me down
Rise above and I’m good to go

I'm Gold

I’ve been over this for quite so many nights
Thinking of what I said and what I did that made you want to cry
Spent the best days of our lives when we were together
Where did we turn another way and lost each other there?
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no.
I need you more than you need me.
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
How I love you baby, won’t you see that my love for you is true?
I’ve been over this for quite so many times
Going up and down the story not believing anything
It’s really confusing when you’re one day making out
Then the next day you were gone, leaving me in this dead city
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no.
I need you more than you need.
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
How I love you baby, won’t you see that my love for you is true?
Sleepless nights are grey
For golden guys like me
Sleepless nights are dull
For golden guys like us
I’m gold
I’m lost without you now, you know?
Can’t live my life without you, no.
I need you more than you need.
Sitting here down by the water, kissing holding hands
How I love you baby, won’t you see that my love for you is true?

Waiting

Write my name across your lips
And tell me how much you loved me
Can’t waste another night like this
As arguments keep crawling in
And I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most
And I’m so sorry to see you moved on
I’m just scared
That I’m getting useless
And now I’m waiting, waiting
So scratch this black heart out my chest
And squeeze until it’s pink and red again
Please put it right back into its place
And hope for some better days
And I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most
And I’m so sorry to see you moved on
I’m just scared
That I’m getting useless
And now I’m waiting, waiting
Hold on - hold on - hold on - …
