Taxi Driver II



Will you be there for tomorrow she asked as a tear rolled down her face
Don't downplay the obvious the academy Is... against me!
And I can't escape the fate

And I now that she's fallen to an all time low
She gets in the cab so she can runaway
Maybe she'll go to boston or LA
Become a famous actress making April her new name

But the audition told her to go away
so she headed back to my favorite highway
driving down every avenue as the lights fade to grey

A story of the almost famous
Band-aids they call them, but she's no penny lane
And danger is my middle name

So she pulls into Anarbor
rolled down the maine strip
a billboard with a picture of the Marianas Trench
Reminds her of the rocket summer she left behind
Lesson learned time turned so what's there left to find?

She can't stop looking for a brand new something
In a town where boys like girls
There's no sound to be heard
were all aiming for cute but were all the lost causes
Well throw them a mayday parade in honor of their losses

so get in your cobra starship and get away from here
you would never shout never; still i know you're filled with fear
as you jet around this universe
that summer set your heart apart
the lack of atmosphere is not enough to cover up
And you find out you weren't as clever
you will be stuck here forever

The sickest kids in their fucked up scene
Just starving for a place to lean
Tonight, She'll do.

I Found The Cure to Growing Older && Your the Only Place that Feels like...

Growing up Is hard to do

I can't really be turned off by your words
Because your talent overrides my desire to cry
I can't help but be proud, and admit you are right
I realized it too, I'm not changing for you
The alliteration of a girl who was lost sometimes true
I'm moving on from her not from you
I want you happy, and to be the same,
You can't see the changes with distance blocking the way

I'm sorry for the pain, but not for the time
and not for I love you, because that wasn't a lie.
Don't cease your pen, and I don't care what it scribes
if it's hate for me or a new love of your life
I can't help but find you beautiful
I'm taking baby steps, and you can take your time.
Couldn't live counting the seconds until you were mine

Yeah a picture speaks a thousand words but no one takes pictures of
lonely computer labs, or sleeping alone
Days spent wanting your voice on the phone
You prove dangerous, you prove comfortable
You want to break me, I'm here, I'm breakable
I'll take it just fix you, one day I'll prove that what I said was true.

It's hard to feel summer in this wonderland
It's hard to feel anything but I'll take the stand
testify to the light that pierced the darkest days
Why I failed to commit as you say
That line should probably drop a bomb on my day
But it's true and I lived so it will wash away

We all fall down to learn how to look up
To act in love not anger, the hardest task shed the mask
shed the pride, shed the things that make you cry
fight for what scares you most and be turned on by love not lust.
Let the music move you not destroy you
try as hard as you can to write the song and not the business plan.
When you want it, There's still songs here waiting to be heard.
