Goodbyes are hard you know Always try to let things go Goodbyes are hard you know But first you say hello You can't find a prince without kissing a frog You can't know a tree if you always cut it down to a log You could be hanging out with your friends and you pray that the party never ends Can't we just pretend Can't we change time Can't we take a moment that's sufficiently sublime Turn a magic trick to make it last a lifetime Goodbyes are hard you know Always try to let things go Goodbyes are hard you know But first you say hello They say if you love something let it go Well you know It's not as easy as it sounds Cause when that love is found Happiness resounds, worldliness is won Desolation's done Everything can run Yeah, on and on yeah you wanna hold on To every moment making life brighter than the sun Goodbyes are hard you know Always try to let things go Goodbyes are hard you know But first you say hello Here's a little story: My family was here, I got to drink beer We hung around town didn't need to see the pier Anywhere anytime you could see us You'd see a happy family and that's because We love each other Father sister mother brother We made a connection But there's no protection from my heart falling out when they left at the end of the week Goodbyes are hard you know Always try to let things go Goodbyes are hard you know But first you say hello

If I was set free and I could be anyone I wanted to be If I was set free, I'd still be me I remember when I was a kid I tried to conform and keep myself hid From the world but the world would not let me They said we need a real person not just some wanna be So I dressed not to impress and I sang the way I want and if you know what I mean then let your freak flag flaunt in the morning in the daytime in the nighttime too If you just let go you can really be you I look into the mirror, I look at myself and I like what I see especially when I dress well I mean at least I'm in peace but you know I'm at war with any judging joe who says I can't be me anymore Explore those poor sad saps that refuse to dance Steer clear of peers' jeers, stick to taking your chance Being weird don't fear enough to fall If we all go crazy there's no normal at all I wanna be real, I don't wanna be fake But I still love when people say you look like Justin Timberlake He can do it all, he can sing, he can act He makes the girls sure positively react Well I don't wanna do just that, I wanna be me I wanna bring us all together like a family and then sing all together in harmony and then live world wide community

I used to watch the disney channel like everyone else I knew I saw commercials for pop tarts that were blue with purple frosting, i wanted them so bad but plain brown sugar were the only ones we ever had i wanted to skateboard to be like tony hawk but i never kicked a flip and felt forever awkward i wanted spiky hair pointed and colored green and shoes that would grind on ledges if you know what I mean I wanted a bigger house a bigger room and my own go-kart the only thing I ever got was a cheap guitar Now I'm rocking, rocking up the pop charts while I'm eating blue and purple pop tarts Playing xbox then I hit the restart while I'm eating blue and purple pop tarts I wanted a sony walkman like this older kid named steve I thought my life would change with an eiffel 65 cd I was the coolest kid, but only for a day then I wore capri pants and people said, "You're gay" I wanted to save the world be found by girl and hang with aliens the only thing I ever got was my weirdo friends Now I'm rocking, rocking up the pop charts while I'm eating blue and purple pop tarts Playing xbox then I hit the restart while I'm eating blue and purple pop tarts

I ride my bike through the city I ride my bike don't you know I ride my bike cause if I didn't I really wouldn't have any old way to go With all the cars getting packed on the subway No slacking today I want to ride my own way It's bringing me down when my feet are on the ground So I'm singing this sound cause I want you to hear That this is my life I wanna be the one to steer I wanna make my own mistakes cause my wheels can take me away and bring me to you no matter where you are How near or how far I'll find a way I ride my bike through the city I ride my bike don't you know I ride my bike cause if I didn't I really wouldn't have any old way to go Don't need the traffic signs Cross the double yellow lines Speeding down the street Makes me feel so complete Could hit a car and die But I'm feeling so high Flying by in a rush and so what if I'm gushing blood out my brain I don't feel the pain I don't heel for rain and from my soul I bleed the need for speed and I am not the same ooh yeah I'm a bikeriding master ooh yeah I wanna go faster ooh yeah I'm a bikeriding master if I ride enough then I'll never get fatter ooh yeah I'm a bikeriding master get out of the office I wanna go faster ooh yeah I'm a bikeriding master a bikeriding master a bikeriding master I ride my bike through the city Even through the rain and the snow I ride my bike cause if I didn't I really wouldn't have any old way to go

I am so not normal but that really is okay That's why I don't care if you're straight bisexual or gay As long as you have passion in your heart and what you say Then you can be my friend today I am so not normal but I really do not care about the things that people think about my stupid hair I will be Rapunzel if I want to and I will shave my head and without you It's all about what makes you feel that you are true and maybe trying something that is brand new I do not know what it means to be real You can be a wild card just be ready to deal Sure there is hate it's not great but you can rise above There are freaks out there like us and they are ready to love Tip top tapping cross the center stage You can't read a book without turning the page Living with spunk will make you But slunking with junk will break you There's nothing else that you can do except love your life that is up to you

When I walk down the street I smile at everything I see and I don't know what the people are thinking of me and if the ice cream vendor kneels to the ground I'd say please don't drop the sno-cone let me shovel it down Sometimes I can't handle being in a crowd cause I know that I've got my head in the clouds but the people in the planes are waving right back so I believe I can lead and that's matter as a fact I know you're probably saying what's this song all about? Well I'll sing it right quick and then get the hell out It's really about just nothing at all except you never know when you're gonna fall I know you can hear me, I know you're out there and I hope you see my beauty, I hope that you stare I don't know if I can attract but I pray everyday that I'll get a call back and maybe one day I'll be happy like that but for now there's no doubt that I'm happy like this and there's really nothing more I need, not much that I miss kissing is sweet but friendship is fine the phone works both ways baby so please pick up the line I know you're probably saying what is the problem? If I knew that then I wouldn't sing about it It's really about something not so small It's just you never know when you're gonna fall If a snake can eat a bunch of mice If Bob Dylan says it's alright then don't think twice I've got this feeling inside my soul and I've got the rock and I've got the roll It's a long road baby and then you pay the toll How many people quote Randy Newman in their song? If you got the courage then sing sing along I know you're probably saying what's this song all about? Well I'll sing it right quick and then get the hell out It's really about just nothing at all except you never know when you're gonna fall Let's put all the dogs in the east and all the cats in the west and see which side can put up with each other the best and do you think that we have been put up to the test we've made fun of each other so let's poke fun at ourselves and I'll still let you cut me down but only if you do it so well and then maybe one day we'll destroy the concept of hell if you go out monday nights then you know where to be at the town hall pub with me at the town hall pub with me at the town hall pub with me

And so you know you're gonna make mistakes It doesn't take away from what you make And so your heart may break, the world won't wait But the pangs of life are alright I kissed a girl and liked it I had my mind made up decided This is gonna be the one for me No other girl is gonna make me so happy Then she told me she was taken So heartbreaking, my dreams forsaken I didn't think that I would ever recover But then I got help talking to my big brother and I know that I have got to move on I feel I'm on a losing streak I moved out of my own place last week Cause I thought I was gonna move in with some friends Its all falling through and I think I'm at the end Its hard to be okay when things are up in the air I guess I'll live nowhere acting like I don't care I'm not taking things seriously like I should But now that I see my own mistakes I think I could Find a way to move on Realize I'm allowed to be wrong I am 21 I can fuck up I am young I'll dance around prance around sing until my days are done Do you think we have to be divine Why not drop your guard go for a good time But I've understood that there's a thin line Doing what you feel really isn't always just fine

I like to wear striped shirts oh yeah I bought several different colors and patterns oh yeah It might seem like a silly useless thing to say but I love to wear striped shirts every single day and it doesn't bother anyone in any old way because my friends don't judge me by the things I wear that's a really good sign to show that they care and I could even come dressed as a full-suit bear and they wouldn't come attack in fact they'd pat me on the back no matter what the trend things are never gonna end no no Somebody wants to fight me oh yeah They're pushing shoving starting something oh yeah You can knock my lights out I'll still open a door You can sweep a series and have dirt on your own floor You could sing your own song forevermore well you might be able to rend but things are never gonna end no no even though your bones can bend things are never gonna end no no I'm feeling pretty sick oh yeah I'm staying in bed all day oh yeah Well I can't handle the taste of gingerale I am not impressed when it goes on sale and I feel no relief from listening to John Cale I prefer Blowfish Hootie when I get cooties from you But the feel good really comes from the 90s U2 and if I could drink a shake of pop to stop all this pain then I would and I could if radiowaves were the rain even if you've a fever to tend things are never gonna end no no well you might be on the mend but things are never gonna end no no I'm hanging out in Tokyo oh yeah Seeing all the lights in Tokyo yeah Well I don't know exactly where I am that's what happens when you're tripping while you travel in Japan you might have taken the wrong blend but things are never gonna end well you might be out of yen but things are never gonna end no no I don't have no money oh yeah will someone pay for my drink oh yeah you can have a pennyful of thoughts but not a dollar to your name you can blame the CEOs but then youll just play their game and whether you can pay or you cant i'll treat you just the same and it doesn't matter which street that you're on if you march to your own beat you got the feet you belong even if you have nothing to lend things are never gonna end no no I met a really cute girl oh yeah I met a really really cute girl yeah Well how do you know how to make a move and I'd rather say nothing and have us both find the groove well for all of my life its never worked out and when in youre in the situation its so easy to doubt but without the strive to find some one who will share who will be the other sock to make the perfect pair well its enough to know youre trying with your soul to bare well if you have some love to send things are never gonna end no no

It's the sun sun sun sun sun That can open up your heart Make you feel you have a part In this world that is complex But it doesn't get me vexed because the Earth it is the best At everything that it does Regardless of humans and that's because We are tenants on this planet If you want change you can't demand it We have to work with what we've got just like you loosen a tough knot Well the world is bigger than anything you could know Except for your own ambition, water it let it grow we have free will we are human but we still need to understand We're constantly evolving Moving forward from the start If oxygen were a commodity then trees would be producing off the charts If the clouds could bill us for water Then we'd have no livestock fodder We claim our land but how can we say that own it When the dinosaurs lived here Years before we drank our beers But we refuse to recognize and decide to give it our own names and then we draw the lines and fight those who step over them they're to blame but the only lines that are clearly drawn are the evolutionary lines and the family bond Life is progressing forever, I hope it doesn't stop now there's only one entity that knows how That is the reason we're alive We need to know why we survive To categorize is lies cause our whole body life and size are constantly in motion be attuned into the ocean just like a fish that flocks in frenzy feeding for the food in envy we reach for truth as long as we want it we extend our thoughts with every poem and sonnet plus every song I get up here and sing I break my shell just like a bird spreads wings we have free will we are human but we still need to understand We are moving always, I hope it don't stop now I wouldn't even know, how
