VERSE 1 Keep on walking because no one was talking to you Anyway I know you’ll miss me some day soon You will see, I’ve carried on my dream Whether it is with or without you here CHORUS Wishes granted I’m out of your life for the night Take me with you, don’t leave me behind Because I can’t swim In this cold misery called life VERSE 2 High school antics, unknown semantics Bands won’t stop because you’re out of the game, away It’s just your way to make me think that I can’t carry on You’ll miss me once I’m gone REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1 Wish you’d recall the last time that we here It’s was February 6th and my heart had skipped a beat But I have to leave shortly after midnight So please don’t forget me when I’m gone CHORUS 1 Because the happiness has all gone away Yeah so have the friends VERSE 2 Choose your words ever carefully But the lyrics come so easy when you’re down in this rut Speaking in drunk tongues can hurt the ones you love Especially when you’re not drunk enough CHORUS 2 Take what I have got to give and learn from the rest Maybe then you’ll pass this test BRIDGE Thought you said you’d wait forever and a day Took my life, you quickly went away And sometimes sun don’t shine on this side of town No reason for you to parade around CHORUS 3 Speeding cars and falling stars are all the same As long as she, she will never care People miss their trains everyday As long as she, she will never care

Best Friends 03:43
VERSE 1 We walked down to the old beach house Where we used to laugh and play Some dreams are worth one thousand memories If you can hold on to just one I wish that summer could last all year But the fall comes soon, goodbye to friends PRE-CHORUS But sometimes you have to keep dreaming for yourself Even if there’s no one else Because times can be so tough when you’re all alone Even if it’s not your fault CHORUS Best friends don’t grow on trees anymore I so sick of everything You can’t walk if you don’t know to crawl It’s getting depressing VERSE 2 I had the time of my life this year Pretending you’re not even here REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE But I plan on drinking all night to forget you Forget you right now I know some how that you still believe in me And everything I want to be You can’t keep treating me as though I’m lost Within random thoughts of her Because one day, you’re gonna lose it all You’ve already lost me Do you recall when everything felt numb?

Floodgates 02:14
VERSE 1 I’m gonna try and forget the last time that we met And rain poured like an 80′s movie You were the star in a major casting call While everyone else played a minor role CHORUS Because planes can’t fly and these cars can’t drive Fast enough to stay with the changing of time The cigarette’s don’t smoke if you don’t have a soul Someones floodgates were let go BRIDGE The director of the set would gladly forget His responsibilities for a minute or two You had the thought, I would forget I can’t let this die VERSE 2 Now the floodgates have closed and you’re in all alone And nothing else compares, you don’t care The set has been drawn and you’re singing along And nothing else compares, compares to you

Weak 02:33
VERSE 1 Just go with the flow because you can’t go sleeping here Sometimes you have to watch the hurtful things you say I’ve learned so much from you I can’t believe That you’ve gone away from me today, I’ve got nothing to say CHORUS Too far away from me to see you Too close for you to even care I’m glad you said that you were doing this for me Because I’m doing this for you VERSE 2 One thousand tears can lead to… On our road to there we know what you’re going through Phone bells don’t ring to challenge what I know And the past six years have been a mix of their own REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Pass six a.m. you can’t come back sleeping here Sometimes you have to watch the hurtful things you say I’ve heard so much from you I can’t believe That you’ve gone away from me today, I’ve got nothing to say And I don’t know what to say So if you care at all, you’ll return my phone calls So maybe I can know What’s going on in your life REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1 Our heroes don’t fly any more as something has changed In this heartless world We wish for these roles to all change But they all seem to remain the same CHORUS Did you find someone else To take the pain away from this endless day? Did you find a new place To call your home away from home? VERSE 2 The seasons all change as does the heart I wish we could go back to the start To change what was wrong to wrong what was right Maybe then we could sleep at night REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE They all slip away… Did you find the walk home most uncomfortable? Did you wake up in a cold sweat? Did you make the most of our days? Or did you get by? Did you just get by? How could you? Why would you let me walk away? From everything that we’re going through today How could you? Why you let me feel this way about Everything that we have said? Is this what we’re aiming for? Then I’m not sure I want you any more They say it’s best just to forget But I can’t seem to get over the facts They always say that the quitters never win So I guess they were right

about

The original Ugly Stick release was sloppy, full of energy and most of all - it was raw.
