The other day, I saw you I was the best I could be And since then, I have missed you Well, you meant so much to me I didn't know you were gone You never told me How could I know I couldn't see I thought you said Something else to me How could I know And as the rain starts falling It calms me down at night I lie awake and wonder If you could turn on the light I needed someone To help me feel alright How could I know I couldn't see I thought you said Something else to me How could you go How could it be I thought you cared I thought you cared for me

We talked all through the night You kinda wish that we could go right now But I don't see that So I assume that you can't see how I could like someone like you And you could like someone like me Forget that last part I kinda like you, oh, can't you see? CHORUS If it's a problem to you Then it's a problem to me But it's a different kind of problem In which I wish it wasn't a problem to you I met you so long ago But now it seems you're never here It's kinda sad to think about I really miss when you were near I could come over your house And pretend this is something more Even just for a little while What was that all for? CHORUS Why I bothered, why I cared Questions I can leave alone It doesn't matter anymore I guess it's time to head on home Leave those regrets behind After all, that's what they say If you look for love, what do you find?

Questions 01:57
How can I find another way to say I love you What did I think about to say that what I said was true You are wonderful It's unbelievable What did I think about to say that what I said was true Why do I wonder all alone if I know what to do It's unbelievable You're so beautiful Why do I wonder all alone if I know what to do Where can I go if I can't see just where I'm going to You're so beautiful I hope that's meaningful Where can I go if I can't see just where I'm going to How can I find another way to say I love you I hope that's meaningful You are wonderful

Who's Up? 02:05
Who's up, who's up, who's up? I gotta get this to a house ten miles away Who's up, who's up, who's up? I don't have dinner at the same time everyday If you're drunk and you don't wanna drive I'll go to your home Bringing you gifts of Italian food Rain or snow, I do the best that I can Sometimes I'm all alone I do all the work, or as much as I can do Who's up, who's up, who's up? I gotta get this to a house ten miles away Who's up, who's up, who's up? I'm stuck in traffic on this crowded motorway Back and forth I drive around But sometimes I need to slow down To find the number of your house Put it on your mailbox please So I can park in front with ease Turn on the lights by your front door If you're stoned and you're stuck on the couch I've got your pizza dude We've got toppings like you won't believe I get tired after working all day Some people can be rude Just don't forget to tip me when I leave
6.
Keep your eyes on the road And your hands on the wheel Keep those eyes on the road And those hands on the wheel As long as you don't panic It won't be a big deal I don't have four-wheel drive And I don't know what to do I've only got front-wheel drive And I don't know what I should do 'Cause I'm stuck in a pile of snow and ice And I've got the driving in ice blues
7.
Were you there when we would sit around Doing nothing for at least an hour On our phones we play our stupid games Barely talking while the music played But I had some fun Seeing everyone CHORUS It was worth the effort and I have to say I wouldn't want it any other way It was worth the effort and I have to say I guess it's better than staying home everyday Here I am, and I can't stand it all We got too old to enjoy the mall All we have are sketchy clubs and bars And all the cities are way too far But we do what we can To come up with a plan CHORUS SOLO CHORUS

On That Note 03:52
Oh well, on that note I can't let you go I won't say goodbye I can't stand to try anymore Drift away That's all you seem to do I can say You know it's true Oh well, on that note I'd like to let you know Who I can really be I didn't mean to set you free, but There you go anyway
9.
Archie, get in the house I'm sick of you barking up my tree Keep your racket in your backyard Why won't he go in? Patience growing thin Archie, go get a job Read a book, find a hobby The squirrels all have business to tend to now Something isn't right Barking day and night Archie, get in the house
