1. Bright Idea
Did somebody tell you what I couldn’t tell you
I hope they did
I hope they didn’t

Well I oughta regret it
Or should I forget it
Whatever this is
It feels electric

You shot me a sweet look
Gave me your yearbook
Told me to sign it
It was a signal

But I couldn’t find the words
I just couldn’t find the nerve
As usual

Here’s my bright idea
I’ll just disappear
I’ll just fly away from here
(Hey!)

And now you’re in Hollywood
Right in my neighborhood
Things are really looking up for you
An army of managers
And lots of pretty boys lining up
To read for you

Oh, I’m pretty sure that it was you
That I bumped into just the other day
At the record store
But I still don’t have a clue
I just couldn’t talk to you

As usual

Here’s my bright idea
Mmmm
I’ll just disappear
Woah
Here’s my bright idea
Bamb bamb bamb bamb
I’ll just disappear
I’ll just fly away from here

So I come to your event
In my well rehearsed mystique
I show up an hour late
But I’ve been ready for a week
And you float into the hallway
like some neon silohuette
I’m slowly losing oxygen
and my hands are soaking wet
all the cameras and reporters
piling up on one another
just to get a look at you
they all want an interview

Then I make my move
push them out of my way
but I still just don’t know what to say

Here’s my bright idea
Mmmmm
I’ll just disappear
Woah
Here’s my bright idea
Bamb bamb bamb bamb
I’ll just disappear
I’ll just fly away from here

Here’s my bright idea
Here’s my bright idea
Here’s my bright
Here’s my bright
Here’s my bright idea
Woah


2. No Tomorrow
Let’s go to a rave and behave
like we’re tripping simply ’cause
we’re so in love

funny hat
shiny pants
all we need for some romance
go get dolled up and I’ll pick you up

there’s no line for you and me cuz tonight
we’re v.i.p.
I know somebody at the door
I see that twinkle in your eye
you shake your ass and I just die
let’s check our coats
and move out to the floor

when I’m dancing with you
tomorrow doesn’t matter
turn the music up
til the windows start to shatter
cuz you’re the only one who can get me on my feet
and I can’t even dance

look at me
silly me
I’m as happy as could be
I have a girl who thinks I rock
and tomorrow there’s no school
so let’s go drink some more red bull
and not get home til about
6 o clock

when I’m dancing with you
tomorrow doesn’t matter
turn the music up
til the windows start to shatter
cuz you’re the only one who can get me on my feet
and I can’t even dance

everybody here is staring
at the outfit that you’re wearing
love it when they check you out
cover’s only 20 bucks
and even if the dj sucks
it’s time to turn this mother out

when we’re together
when we’re together
there’s no tomorrow
there’s no tomorrow
there’s no one in the world
but you and me
just you and me
you and me


3. Happiness
Do I really need a reason?
Is it really such a big deal?
It just seems like the right situation
To say how I really feel.

I love the way that you look at me.
And I can't stop looking at you.
And the sweetest thing that you do for me-
Is all the little things that you do.

And when the world don't feel like turning,
And the sun just wants to hide,
All the stars come out to remind me
Of the universe by my side.

All that happens is Happiness.
Happiness- when I'm with you.

We ain't got a whole lot of money...
How about a five star Happy Meal?
Every day with you is just like a party,
There's nothing left of me for you to steal.

And when the winter wind is blowin',
I feel you blowin' kisses in my ear.
And when you think that you're just talkin'-
You know its singin' that I hear.

All that happens is Happiness.
Happiness- when I'm with you


4. Already Over
Cue the music,
Curtain falls,
The lights all fade to gray.
Don't think there'll be an encore
For our secret Passion Play.

It's time to play the final card
In a game I now despise.
To me it seems so obvious-
To you it's such a big surprise.

It's already over-
If I stayed here, I'd only make you cry.
It's already over-
We can't move forward,
So let's move on...
Bye-bye.

They say parting is such sweet sorrow,
But I'm still looking for the sweet.
I feel just like a baby-
These tears don't miss a beat.

And I'd rather be anyone but Here
And anyplace else but Me.
I'll just climb inside my head awhile-
My demons have a date with me.

It's already over-
if I stayed here, I'd only make you cry.
It's already over-
We can't move forward,
So let's move on...
Bye-bye.

So go ahead, and hate me now
For breaking-up on the phone.
But I know that I'd crack if i saw your face-
I deserve to be alone.

And I hate that i still love you, girl-
And I only wish you well.
But i'll never be man enough for you,
And you're a psycho bitch from Hell.

It's already over-
If I stayed here, I'd only make you cry.
It's already over-
We can't move forward,
So let's move on...
Bye-bye.

So long.
Farewell.
Bye-bye


5. Downtown
is your situation working out?
i heard your playstation let you down.
come downtown, hangin' around, alright
did you disappoint the chairman of the board?
are your days feeling longer than they did before?
come downtown, hangin' around, alright.
there is always room for one more,
all together now.
we know you've been such a good boy,
but now the day is done.
are you waiting to get older
to have a little fun?
come downtown, hangin around, alright.
do you think that it would kill you
to take a holiday?
make a call, tell a lie,
whatever it takes to get to
downtown, hangin' around, alright.
there is always room for one more,
all together now.
forget about the boss and the boss' committee,
everyone you know is
comin' down to the city now.
why you wanna sit it out until the weekend?
the gang's all here, there's only one thats missing now.
come downtown, hangin' around, alright


6. Tryng To Help
Come on, Baby-
Why the long face?
You're messing up my head space!
I can see you've had a hard day-
Let's talk about it anyway.

Hey- there's million ways to do the same thing.
Don't you know if you got problems-
That I'm here to help you solve 'em?

Love, I'm only tryin to help-
I'm only tryin to make it through another day.

i don't always say the right thing-
So let me make it better.
But if I try to write it down-
Don't go tearing up my letter.

Hey- there's a million ways to do the same thing.
I know I don't always get it-
But you've got to give me credit.

Love, I'm only tryin to help-
I'm only tryin to make it through another day.

Communication shake-down.
It's always the same thing.
You're still my favorite meltdown,
I'd give you everything.
I've seen this movie before-
We give / We take even more.
You're still the team I am for-
But you can't stop keeping score!

Love, I'm only tryin to help-
I'm only tryin to make it through another day.

Let me get my way.
(You always get your way)


7. So Ahead of Me
You're so ahead of me,
Don't see how that could be-
Did I just miss something here?
It's the worst I fear,
My Dear.

You're lookin oh-so-cute.
Did you just buy that suit?
And you just changed your hair,
It's so unfair.
I'm tryin not to care.

Just remember this-
It's just a kiss,
Nobody has to know.
But I'll know,
And I'll be waiting by the phone.

All those pictures that you gave me,
And all those promises you made me
All mean nothing-
Since you decide to grow up on me.
Sorry for this imposition,
But I don't get your new condition.
But I'll follow along-
And you can walk me like a dog.

I'll take you where you wanna go,
Let you play with my radio,
Is there nothing more that I can do
For you?
How 'bout a little clue?

Just remember this-
It's just a kiss,
Nobody has to know-
And I won't tell anyone
That you're just no good alone.

All those pictures that you gave me,
And all those promises you made me
All mean nothing-
Since you decide to grow up on me.
Sorry for this imposition,
But I don't get your new condition.
But I'll follow along-
And you can walk me like a dog

8. Last Night
Last Call, unaware of all my surroundings.
Off guard, and your cue to begin your scheme.
I took a chance, you took my heart,
And then you took all my money.
I was blind-sided by a smile
That wasn't what it seemed.

I'm talking about last night.

Your mouth was making words that seemed
At the time, very sensible.
Your body trembled,
And secretly called my name.
You said," Can I see you later?-
Cause I'd like to spend some time with you.."
How could I know that it was only just for show?-
Cause when the lights came on,
You were gone,
I was standing all alone.

Last Night.

Rock Bottom is where you'll find me
If you really need me.
Rock Bottom-
With the other victims of your game.

Now I'm on the floor.
And I'm back for more.
And I'm praying to be your prey.
Now you're not so sure.
More than you bargained for?

Last Night


9. Look Around
Baby, wake up.
Baby, come see.
And if you lose your way,
Just hold on to me.
The flames have all died out,
Our hearts are still beating.
The rain is gone,
The rain is gone.

Just look around.

Our time is not up,
Our place is in the sun.
So just wipe the ashes from your eyes, Girl-
There's so much work to be done.
And there's no way to be sure,
Just be sure to keep breathing.
We'll just keep movin' on,
we'll keep movin' on.

And look around.

We're not o.k.
But, Baby- we're alright.
So just make love to the day,
And hold each other tight.
Just remember your song,
Don't forget to keep singing.
Cause our love is a bomb.
Our love is a bomb.

Just look around.
Keep your eyes open, it's alright.
Keep your eyes open, it's alright.
Make better years from bitter days-
This is our time, This is our place.
Look Around.

Just look around


10. Save the World
I guess I'm hanging out alone,
And I'm selfish to complain,
Cause you've always got the best excuse.

There's no use in forcing you to stay-
(You'd kick my weak butt, anyway)
I'll watch you on the evening news.

It's just that I see you next to zero-
It's so hard lovin a super hero

You're too busy saving the world,
And I think I need saving the most.
I know that you'd stay here if you could,
But you're too busy saving the world.

You're sliding on my favorite boots,
And those tights are such a tease.
But you never wear that stuff for me.

Look up in the sky,
It's not a bird or a plane.
It's the sweetest crime fighter that I've ever seen-
I just wish she'd call in sick
And just stay home.

So go and make the world just a little safer-
I'll read all about it in tomorrow's paper.

You're too busy saving the world,
And I think I need saving the most.
I know that you'd stay here if you could,
But you're too busy saving the world.

I'm so over jumping off buildings,
You catching my fall.
So I'll brush up on my Super Villain,
And I might see you more

I know you're undercover,
But I want you under the covers.
It doesn't feel like I'm asking a lot...

You're too busy saving the world,
And I think I need saving the most.
And I know that you'd stay here if you could,
But you're too busy saving the world
