Already Over
J. Pebworth

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 stay 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 a while –
My demons have a date with me.

It's already over –
If I stay 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 stay 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.

Bright Idea
J. Pebworth

Did somebody tell you what I couldn’t tell you?
I hope they did.
(I hope they didn’t.)

Will I learn regret it, or should I forget it?
Whatever this is it feels electric.

You shot me a sweet look,
Gave me your year book,
Told me to sign...
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!

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
Just to meet with you.

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:
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,
Then you float into the hallway
Like some neon silhouette,
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:
I'll just disappear!

Downtown
J. Pebworth & G. Astasio

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 that's missing now.

Come downtown, hangin' around, alright.

Everything
J. Pebworth, G. Astasio, J. Bentjen, C. Cano & C. Rachild

Now what have you done?
What have you got, a new turn?
Now everything's clearer...
Well at least it is to you.

And now everything's music.
It's one big giant blue sky.
But don't take off those blinders
And make a note to yourself
To keep telling yourself...

That love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.
And love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.

So go on be hasty
With your new favourite miracle.
Mistakes can be candy
And sweeten up a cautious heart.

But if love isn't conquered,
And if love makes you stumble,
What if love is a scoundrel?
It's too early to tell, so keep telling yourself...

That love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.
And love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.

I know you think you've seen it all before
And this time everything is going to be different.
Everything's wrapped up so nice and tight
And I'm sure you'll never see another lonely night.
And I'm sure you'll never fall to pieces
Just like I did when I had everything with you.

That love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.
And love, love, love
Is everything you'll need.

Happiness
J. Pebworth

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 it's singin' that I hear.

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

I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
D. Hall, J. Oats & S. Allen

Easy ready willing overtime.
When does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You got the body now you want my soul.
Don't even think about it, say no go.

Now I'll do anything you want me to.
I'll do almost anything that you want me to.
But I can't go for that,
No can do.

I can't go for being twice as nice.
I can't go for just repeating the some old lines.
Use the body now you want my soul.
Forget about it, say no go.

Yeah, I'll do anything you want me to.
I'll do almost anything that you want me to.
But I can't go for that,
No can do.

Jessie
J. Pebworth, G. Astasio, J. Bentjen, C. Cano & C. Rachild

Man, it must be so cool,
You're barely out of high school,
A seven album record deal
That was no big deal, alright, oh yeah.

Too right you’re always out of tune,
It’s your shaggy hair that makes it swoon,
It’s not what you say it’s what you wear,
You look good out there, alright, oh yeah.

You spend a lot of time thinking about the things you've never had,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations,
Yeah, you finally made it.

All across the nation,
And on every single station,
It’s part of Cribs and TRL,
Man, it must be hell, alright, oh yeah.

Crashing all the festivals,
Used to seem too impossible,
As long as you stay young and tall,
There's more where that came from, alright, oh yeah.

You spend a lot of time thinking about the cred you’ll never have,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations,
Yeah, you finally made it.

I went to virtual chip parade,
Just outside your escalade,
Everybody around here wants to have your baby.

So sad everybody’s watching everything you do,
You show ‘em all on your reality TV show.

You spend a lot of time thinking about how you found it so bad,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations Jessie,
Congratulations Jessie,
Hey! Congratulations,
Yeah, you finally made it.

Don’t know how but you better believe we’re g
Gonna rock this town,
Rock this town again.

Last Night
J. Pebworth

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 want 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.

Look Around
J. Pebworth

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.

No Tomorrow
J. Pebworth

Let’s go to a rave and behave,
Like we’re tripping
Simply ’cause we’re so in love.
Funny hats, 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
'Cause 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
'Till the windows start to shatter
'Cause you’re the only one who can get me on my feet.
And I can’t even dance.

Just look at me, silly me,
I’m as happy as could be –
I got 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 'till about six o'clock.

When I’m dancing with you
Tomorrow doesn’t matter.
Turn the music up
'Till the windows start to shatter
'Cause 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 –
(I) love it when they check you out.
Cover’s only 20 bucks,
And even if the DJ sucks
It’s time to turn this mutha out!

When we’re together
There’s no tomorrow,
No tomorrow.
When we're together
There’s no one in the world
But you and me.
Just you and me.
You and me.

Push the Button
D. Austin, M. Buena, K. Buchanan & H. Range

I'm busy throwing hints that he keeps missing.
Don't have to think about it if wanna kiss and
Everything around it, but he's too distant.
I wanna feel his body.
No, I can't resist it.

I know my hidden looks can be deceiving,
But how obvious should a girl be?
I was taken by the early conversation piece
And I really like the way that he respects me.

I've been waiting patiently for him to come and get it.
I wonder if he knows that he can say it and I'm with it.
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning.
Catch this opportunity so you and me could feel it.

'Cause if you're ready for me boy,
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go.
You're gonna miss the freak that I control.

I'm busy showing him what he's been missing.
I'm kind of showing off for his full attention.
My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension.
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission.

After waiting patiently for him to come and get it,
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him.
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning.
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it.

'Cause, if you're ready for me boy,
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go.
You're gonna miss the freak that I control.

Save The World
J. Pebworth

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.

So Ahead Of Me
J. Pebworth

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.

The Okay Song
J. Pebworth, G. Astasio, J. Bentjen, C. Cano & C. Rachild

Are you tired of counting eggs that will never hatch?
Did you bite off more than you can chew?
Are you sad cause the grass is always greener?
Well, babe, you look much better in red and blue.

Everything will be okay
Just give it just a minute longer –
Cause a brighter star is on the way.
Everything will be okay
Remember when the rain is falling –
It's alright.

So fear itself is the only thing we have to fear?
But – fear can be so much fun with a friend or two.
And don't you be so afraid to meet your maker –
Cause I hear that she's just as scared of you.

Everything will be okay
Just give it just a minute longer –
Cause a brighter star is on the way.
Everything will be okay
Remember when the rain is falling –
It's alright to go outside and play.

Tryin to Help
J. Pebworth

Come on, baby –
Why the long face?
You're messing up my head space!
I can see you've had a long 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).

Yours Truly
J. Pebworth, G. Astasio, J. Bentjen, C. Cano & C. Rachild

Guess who woke up late again today?
Guess whose car is being towed away?
Guess who just got fired for work that's uninspired today?

Guess who didn't take his vitamins?
And guess who's locked outside his house again?
There was no key under the mat,
And I forgot to feed the cat today...

But I try to stick it out now,
I try to keep my feet on the ground again.
I try to stick it out now,
And maybe this soon will turn out for the best.
We could be lovers still if I had one more second to spare.
I just wish today was yesterday – tomorrow's gonna be too late.

Guess whos bank account is overdrawn?
And can you guess who left the gas inside the oven on?
Guess whose house is burning down?
And whose bad luck won't turn around today?

So you can see why I dont feel so Romeo,
'Cause yours truly has to go and do a show.
So don't you come to pick me up,
'Cause I just can't get it up for you baby.

But I try to stick it out now,
I try to keep my feet on the ground again.
I try to stick it out now,
And maybe this soon will turn out for the best.
We could be lovers still if I had one more second to spare.
I just wish today was yesterday – tomorrow's gonna be too late.

For love to come around.
We could be lovers still if I had the chance.
