You need a new song I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul
Don't take me too long
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old

My fingers kill me as I play my guitar
'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails
My hairline ain't exactly superstar
But there's one thing that never fails
This never fails

I write the same old song with a few new lines
And everybody wants to cheer it
I write the same old song you heard a good few times
Admit you really want to hear it

Whenever I see you
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man
Just 'cause I please you
You explain, but you don't think I can understand

My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen
'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul
Nothing really ever changes my friend
New lamps for old
New lamps for old

We sing the same old song, just like a vintage car
You can look but you won't ever drive it
We drink the same old wine from a brand new jar
We get hung over, but we always survive it

Turn on the radio
Love is proclaimed
Again and again and again
Join in and sing
Now, don't be ashamed
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

We hum the same old lines to a different crowd
And everybody wants to cheer it
We run on endless time to reach a higher cloud
But we never ever seem to get near it

We sing the same old song

2. Favorite Color
Verse 1
If I said the wrong thing forgive me.
Though my finger they break, I just can't let you go.
Don't know why I believe.
Not with that promise you made me just yesterday.

Chorus
I will always love you, take the me out of you.
Alot of people are going to be dissapointed when they find out,
I love you and I need you.
Till my heart stops beating,
I'll never lose this feeling and alot of people are going
to be dissapointed when they find out.

Verse 2
3:11 again. though I'm not your best friend,
I'd do anything to keep you with me.
So close your eyes and hold on tight, spin around one more time.
Don't you see my plans will always hav you in them?

3. A day to be alone
She said I wonder when
It'll be my day
Cause I'm not too far from breaking down
And all I've got are screams inside
But somehow they come out in a smile
And I wondered if I'll always feel this way, this way

Tell me about those nights you stay awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me
And maybe you've fallen down
And maybe you, you took the long way home
Baby, you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror, you'll see your smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, be me

One day you're gonna see things my way
You gave me so much room that I can breathe
All I've got is pictures of you
I was nothing before and I started with you
But for some reason, it's supposed to be that way, that way

Tell me about those nights you stay awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me
And maybe you've fallen down
And maybe you, you took the long way home
Baby, you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror, you'll see your smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, be me

If I could shrink it down
And put it in your hands
We made it hurt so much
I can't forget the past
Just tell me what to say, show me what to do
Then I could forgive me and I could forgive you

Tell me about those nights you stay awake
Tell me about those days you hated me
Tell me how you'd rather die alone than being stuck here with me
And maybe you've fallen down
And maybe you, you took the long way home
Baby, you could never love you like me
And one day this will fade away
In the mirror, you'll see your smiling face
And standing next to you will always be me, be me
