DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS

"In A Big Country"

Originally by Big Country

I never seen you look like this without a reason

Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you

I never took the smile away from anybody's face

And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child



In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive



I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered



I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert

But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime



In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive [x2]



So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you

Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded

Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming

Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered



I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert

But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime



In a big country dreams stay with you

Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

Stay alive [x2]

THE VANDALS LYRICS - Cafe 405

THE VANDALS LYRICS

"Cafe 405"

Watching her at the mall she don't know me at all

Hope no employee over hears

Think I'm in love with you Red, Yellow, White & Blue

Seems I've been watching her for years,



It brings a smile to my face as she hops with style and grace

Way beyond 9 to 5, she's keeping hope alive - Cafe 405

I'd always keep her warm in that silly uniform

Tell her every day that she's the best

Just wanna be with her, I'd never chat on her

Wit someone at Panda Express



And nothing else makes me tick like when she's on that Pogo Stick

I wish I wasn't afraid, she's making lemonade

One day our love will arrive, so glad to be alive



I'm always flattered when my hot dog's gettin' battered

She's gettin' better at it every day

Shopping mall renegade, she's makin' lemonade

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA LYRICS - Ben Has A Kid

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA LYRICS

"Ben Has A Kid"

I mean this, I'm not sure if you could say the same.

Week after week after week

Idolatry is wasted reverence,

Idolatry is the yellow on your teeth.

GASP FOR THE TRUTH YOU ONCE LIVED.

(Beyond this world)

Beyond this world is what is always breathing,

Beyond this world is worth dying for.

Beyond this world is what is always breathing,

Beyond this world is worth dying for, dying for.

I remember what you used to claim, what you used to claim.

You can't bury conviction with anything.

OUR MESSAGE WILL GROW,

OUR MESSAGE WILL GROW.

No matter the mistakes made within construction.

Beyond this world is what is always breathing,

Beyond this world is worth dying for.

Beyond this world is what is always breathing,

Beyond this world is worth dying for.

GASP FOR THE TRUTH YOU ONCE LIVED.

I pray that stolen glimpses do not subtract from what we've been building.

Keep stride persistent in our march.

Keep stride persistent in our march.

ONE DOLLAR SHORT LYRICS - A Theme For New Years

ONE DOLLAR SHORT LYRICS

"A Theme For New Years..."

Happy New Year

another ceremony of loneliness

you are the object of my thoughts tonight

you are everything that glitters

you reflect the light in so many ways

I kept my favourite pieces of last year

I pressed them in between pages



I wish I could be there with you tonight

instead of an airport lounge

plane ticket away

as distance and dimension prevail

you're a winters day I carry with me

we're a telephone conversation

a long distance song of injury

it's fast approacting the hour

the stroke of one last midnight

well wishes

a promise to you

a declaration I make to myself this time



A minute past midnight

the countdown is over now

another year has passed us by

a new year has just begun

I thought of you when the fireworks filled the sky



the first day of my new year

the first day of my new life



this is the loneliest time of the year

especially when you're not here

I'll celebrate on my own



a minute past midnight

the countdown is over now



another year has passed us by

a new year has just begun



I thought of you while fireworks filled the sky

OPEN HAND LYRICS - Her Song

OPEN HAND LYRICS

"Her Song"

She stares down empty streets and cries

How all her dreams have dried up and gone away and she feels...

One day her life might change its ways.

Until she hides what’s deep inside.

Trying so hard not to expose her lies.

She’s ready now.

I know she’s down.

Her flame burns twice as bright,

But only half as long.

When she looks down inside,

She melts away to her song.

I know she’s down.

Her flame burns twice as bright,

But only half as long.

When she looks down inside,

She melts away to her song.

THIS IS HELL LYRICS - The Polygraph Cheaters

THIS IS HELL LYRICS

"The Polygraph Cheaters"

Don't believe a word of this, don't believe a single thing you hear.

We're sinners and we'll surely get sainted while real saints will simply be tainted.

Don't believe a word of this, don't believe a sing thing you hear.

Sometimes villains deserve your applause cause our heroes are tragically flawed.

Medic! Medic!

Man down and we're losing him fast.

Forget it

Forget it.

That last breath was his last.

Medic Medic.

We were seconds to late.

Don't believe a word of this, don't believe a single thing you hear.

These things are romanticized, but in the end they're only colorful lies.

Don't believe a word of this don't believe a single thing you hear.

The poetry of a stone hearted cynic and all the demons that I've broken bread with.

Medic! Medic!

Man down and we're losing him fast.

Forget it Forget It.

That last breath was his last.

Medic Medic.

We were seconds to late.

This is the sound it makes when it all comes crashing down.

We're arsonists among architects, and we'll burn this fucker to the ground.

This is the sound it makes when it all comes crashing down.

BAD RELIGION LYRICS - No Direction

BAD RELIGION LYRICS

"No Direction"

A sullen figure walks along a dusty road

his life was holy and he couldn't bear the load

he left his people and a simple life behind

he raised his torso and he looked into the sky

shouting his questions

looking for directions

"what do I do now?"



now a confused school girl stares at the TV tray

the stresses of maturing compound every day

she glances up to see her favorite video

and gets ideas from Madonna's nasty clothes

in need of affection

she craves a direction

her heroes offer her



everyone is looking for something

and they assume somebody else knows what it is

no one can live with the decisions of their own

it seems so they look to someone else

to tell 'em what to be

tell 'em what to wear

tell 'em what to say

tell 'em how to act and think and compel others compulsively

until the world is all like them



a righteous student came and asked me to reflect

he judged my lifestyle was politically incorrect

I don't believe in self important folks who preach

no Bad Religion song can make your life complete

prepare for rejection you'll get no direction from me

you'll get no direction from me

you'll get no direction from me
