Madison Parker Just a very honest, and relatable band. Straight to the point. These guys put so much into their music. Overall, my favourite track which isn't on this album is 'I Lost My Dinosaur.' Favorite track: You Make Me Touch Your Hands For Stupid Reasons.

So now I've found you, but I still can't make this happen I guess you wanted something else You don't want me, you just longed for my attention I can't even trust myself

I'm a little disappointed in you And I think you should be too You just waste all of your time With your blonde partner in crime Don't tell me about the boys you've kissed And all the chances that I missed I can't say that I'm impressed Cause this is not you at your best I suffered through bad Chinese food Just for a chance to talk to you Now I know just who you are It's a shame we let things get this far Don't tell me about the girls you've kissed And all the chances that I missed I can't say that I'm impressed Cause this is not you at your best And we'll get dinner whenever I'm home But I'll never tell you, I'm happy that you're alone You deserve to be alone Your bright eyes and perfect dress Don't hide the fact that you're a mess And every night that you go drink I hope it gives you time to think About the way that things could have turned out If you kept your tongue in your own fucking mouth About the way that things could have been If you hadn't cheated on me then

Staring at the pages of my yearbook Wondering where they ended up Am I the only one that feels like a failure Progressing in your careers While I'm digressing through my years Am I the only one who doesn't seem older And I will try to leave this all behind But for now I'll just keep reminiscing Staring at the signatures You signed my crack, "Have a great Summer!" I hope you make it all the way through college You got your masters, I lost my job You make six figures and I'm a slob Who still thinks he can make it in a band And I will try To leave this all behind But for now I'll just keep reminiscing Running out of time I think it's time I see things differently Am I in charge of my own destiny? Sick of lamenting over things that I can't change 'Cause after all, it's just a stupid yearbook

You don't know What you're doing Who you kiss Who you're screwing Girls aren't fucking toys To be played with by little boys I won't shake your damn hand 'Cause I don't know where it's been You call me up Try to talk All I could do Is stare at the clock Girls aren't fucking toys To be played with by little boys I won't shake your damn hand 'Cause I don't know where it's been

She said, “You want me to know how you feel, but I don’t want to so keep it to yourself." I never knew that you could hate me for being so sad I’m still alone, and I’m guessing that that makes you glad You don’t wanna know how I feel? Well I guess you should have thought of that before forgetting that I was real But I don’t hate you I just really wish I did I would have married you Who am I kidding? We’re just kids Pennsylvania is now my least favorite state And when I say it, it tastes just as bad as speaking your name I burned that red bandana that I wore on the night that I pushed our canoe off the shore But I’m not bitter Who am I kidding? I sure as hell am I only just threw away your picture Is this what they call becoming a man? I’m learning to cherish the lonely times The late night drives that no one knows about Cause I won’t be able to live like this forever Someday there will be someone who cares that I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning with no apparent sense of direction The sadness is there, but it’s part of my story My life is a Steinbeck novel, and I’m learning not to care My life is a Steinbeck novel, and I'm learning not to care And if it takes sadness to make this book worth reading Well then, I guess that it’s worth a shot And if it takes sadness to make this ending worth remembering Well then, I guess that that is fair
