V1.) Get on the floor
Make this easy
Hands where I can see them
Don’t say a word
I won’t be long
But I ain’t leavin’
‘Til I got just what I’m looking for
So if you happen to know of its location
Don’t keep me waitin
Don’t be so cruel
Though I come in like a thief, what I take’s precious to me
So no harm will this thing see, but I promise you!
Chorus.) It’s about to be gone
Throwing your heart in my Getaway Car
If there’s one promise I can make
The moment that I take it don’t worry ‘bout it coming back!
Tell it “So Long”
Throwing your heart in my Getaway Car
I wanna show it all the places it’s never been taken
Now’s the perfect time for that!
V2.) I see you thinking
That this ain’t so crazy
Letting me escape with
This special thing
‘Cause you’ve had your failures
Giving it away so
Why not have it taken
Once for a change?
Go ‘head and give into this simple temptation
A pleasant sensation
You’re going through
Either way today your life will be changing
The whole world is waiting
What will you do?
(Chorus)
(Bass Solo)
(Chorus) (2x)

Hey Listen!
03:56

|
V1.) Sometimes it gets too difficult to help you out
I've found
All the times that I'm useful you've only ever put me down
My friend have I not been through danger through flame
Right there in your pocket ‘cause that's never changed
And throughout our time I still call out your name
The way we'll succeed I just long to explain
Chorus.) HEY! Listen! Watch out!
You just can't afford to be distant
So hey listen, right now!
V2.) And ever since that morning that destiny called you to me
We've seen
These dungeons and wonders exceeding our wildest of dreams
I know that my nagging drives you up a wall
But if I could help it you never would fall
Beside you when running support when you crawl
Though I'm not sure you understand me at all
Chorus.) HEY! Listen! Watch out!
You just can't afford to be distant
So hey listen, right now!
Hey listen! Watch out!
I just need you to pay attention
So hey listen, right now!
Bridge.) There's a reason we've been put together
All signs say that we're gonna save the world
Call me a nuisance a bother that's fine
As long as you hear what I say time to time that it's difficult to help you out
I've found
But no matter what I am not giving up on you now!
Chorus.) HEY! Listen! Watch out!
You just can't afford to be distant
So hey listen, right now!
Hey listen! Watch out!
I just need you to pay attention
So hey listen, right now!

Overpowered

|
(Intro)
V1.) You’re Overpowered!
What am I facing?
You’re Overpowered!
And I can’t take it!
Knew you were trouble, babe
When I chose to follow you
Let myself think I was strong enough
To step inside your room
Chorus 1.) And now you got me locked inside these walls
With no way to escape
Showing me things and moving in ways
I’m not sure I can take
And if I was any other man
I’d be begging to go home
But on my mind is how tonight
I’m making you my own
You’re Overpowered!
V2.) You’re Overpowered!
And I can’t fight it!
You’re Overpowered...
...And I think I like it.
I think I like it!
You’ve got these stages, babe
A challenge to get in
But this sure will quite the ride
On our way to the end!
Chorus 2.) ‘Cause now we’re both locked here inside these walls
So I guess it’s time to play
Movin’ in ways and doin’ the things
That no one else could take
And if I was a lesser man
I’d break under the load
But you’re here with me so girl tonight I’m making you my own

Hell No!
03:49
|
|||
|
(Intro)
V1.) Felt a little uptight from a long day working and was itching for some time to let loose
Saw the streetlights shine on the next block’s corner and I knew exactly what I would do
‘Cause there’s a place where there are good times all around
Where all the fellas and the ladies go get down
And as I lost myself in that sound once again
At somewhere around 10
I saw her coming in
V2.) She was right there long hair on her shoulder just a staring at the drink in her hand
Had a slight glance of a single fighting chance as the DJ played a slow jam
And I remember this like it was yesterday
When I gathered up the strength to walk her way
Could’ve told me she was having a bad day
But I found out anyway
When her drink hit my face
Chorus.) She said “HELL NO!”
Gotta say that was a little rude!
“HELL NO!”
Don’t think I deserved that attitude!
“HELL NO!”
Would’ve been okay with “No thank you!”
Thought it was alright to do
But I guess that wasn’t true
I guess that wasn’t true
I guess that wasn’t true!
V3.) She had a sly smirk looking at the wine on my shirt as if she had just claimed a victory
Heard some laughter sadness matter of facts
As the spotlight seemed to hit me
And preparation isn’t something you can do
When that cold humiliation falls on you
It’s like sometimes you just don’t know the wrong you do
Til the moment that you’re screwed
And they’re all laughin’ at you sayin “HELL NO!”
(Chorus)
(Music Break)
Pre-Chorus.) And I remember it like it was yesterday
When I gathered up the strength to walk her way
Could’ve told me she was having a bad day
But I found out anyway
When her drink hit my face
I gotta say!
I felt the eyes around the club all look my way
As she had that satisfaction on her face
Another unsuspecting dummy came to play
Maybe next time will be safe but not today....
(Chorus) (2x)

Rage Quit
04:03
|
|||
|
(Intro)
V1.) Standing in a doorway
Tryin’ to hold on to my life
Swear I’m gonna lose it if I fall in one more time!
Trapped in a predicament
Of should I stay or should I go
I’m asking to pass and I’m sick of this game telling me no!
Pre-Chorus.) I thought I loved this
Not so sure now
They’d have me run through fire but I SWEAR I don’t know how!
Sometimes I get a little closer
With hope that I’ll do this
That’s when they laugh and show me something new that makes me wanna
Chorus.) RAGE QUIT!!!
RAGE QUIT!!!
I RAGE QUIT!!!
I WANNA RAGE!!!
OH YEAH!!!
I RAGE QUIT!!!
V2.) Dragons to the left of me
And demons to my right
A goal’s between em both so I guess I have to fight!
Cheap blows and team attacks
Got me holdin’ on to life
‘Swear it’s games like this that keep young players up all night!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Music Break/Solo)
(Chorus)

Level Up
04:09
|
|||
|
Chorus.) You make me wanna level up for you
You make me wanna get on the grind for you
You got something so exciting
To be by your side my XP is rising!
You make me wanna level up for you
I just wanna get in a party with you
Been questin’ for your love
And I’m about to level up!
V1.) Was spending too much time at Level 1
Had no time for an adventure
I wasn’t strong enough
But baby after seeing ya
You made me wanna gain experience
Wanna take you different places
I guess I got some training to do
It’s true!
(Chorus)
(Key Change)
V2.) You make me wanna be a better man
Travel with you to forbidden lands
I wanna take you by the hand, we’ll stand above it all
‘Cause baby after seeing ya
You made me wanna gain experience
We could be so amazing
But I have got some training to do
It’s true!
(Chorus)
Bridge.) I’ll find all the ways
To travel with you to that final stage
I wanna play
I wanna play
Exploring every corner of this place
So baby let me train
Let me train
Let me train
Let me train!!!!
(Outro)

Not Right Now
05:10
|
|||
|
V1) I’m not standing still, no
We’re incompatible in rate of pace
They just don’t take
Done with losing sleep
Reality it’s not the time nor place
Let’s get this straight
Chorus.) Not Right Now
And I don’t really know when “Now” is gonna be
Not Right Now
And I don’t really know when “Now” is gonna be
V2.) Am I holding you back?
Is there something that you planned to do
That I’m not letting you?
While I’d move mountains for you
It has to be when I am ready to
I am telling you
You deserve the best of me
Just need a sec to breathe and work this out
Should know by now
That when it all falls down
You’ll look for me and I’ll still be around
But this time hear me out
(Chorus)
(Musical Break/Solo)
(Chorus)

Shades of Pink
03:52
|
|||
|
(Intro)
V1.) All this pink under my feet and through the sky
The wind turned fuschia blew new color in my life
April drenches me with strawberry type rain
Taste it with my tongue just sweet as lemonade
Chorus.) And sometimes the world outside can change from blue to gray
But I find a calm inside from all these pretty shades
Where do these petals go in the months that they are gone
‘Cause where I’m standing I’ll be staring all day long
V2.) We’d share watermelons as April became May
Spending mornings picking tulips from the bank
And with the evening came that blush across your face
And a goodbye kiss that tastes as sweet as crepe
Chorus.) And after summer I know that we’ll both move away
But let’s find a memory in our love of those pink shades
Where do the petals go in the months that they are gone?
‘Cause where we’re standing we’ll be staring all day long
Bridge.) So let me stand here again with eyes closed under these taffy clouds
A hint of bubblegum candy makes sure I will never be down
‘cause when our love’s an old rose I’ll still hope we will both come to town
‘cause under these cherry blossoms love always finds its way around
Chorus.) And sometimes the world outside can change from blue to gray
But I find a calm inside from all these pretty shades
Where do these petals go in the months that they are gone
‘Cause where I’m standing I’ll be staring all day long
All day long...
