Friday Night I'm on the barstool, out for summer, out forever A cold case of beer out in the rain these girls will drive the boys insane So I lay still I'm on my bedroom floor, I flip the vinyl over Just how the hell can I explain, this girl is eating up my brain When Tommy called, I said I had the flu He said to shake it on off, and that he had good news Yeah there's a party, she's gonna be there and my truck will be at your door in 15 minutes So I stay cool we're at her parents, whiskey strong let's get a little extra careless I swore I brushed her auburn hair whil I was stumbling down the stairs I heard her laughing, I heard that joy-filled scream She was leaning on Tommy, was this some wicked dream I left the party, she'll never see me Now I'm walking down highway 6 back into town Oh, that's how it goes. I should leave that girl alone. You know I heard em say that only the foolish, they fall in love So I'll be there for you, oh I'll be there for you

Because I'm your other man, when you fall, when you fall But I've never held your hand, through it all, through it all When you're calling me back, I can't get away Yeah you're still calling me back again When he left you on those steps,when you called, when you called I was trying to get some rest, but I picked you up and I drove you But you're calling me back, I can't get away You're still calling me back again When I told you that I loved you on that night I told you that I loved you on that night I told you that I loved you on that night I was feeling bold that night he left you were on the ground So I stepped up and I felt your fiery gaze and I laid you down I was thinking I could call you up and talk a while I was thinking I could swing on by and spend the night You're still calling me back, I can't get away Always calling me back again When I told you that I loved you on that night I told you that I loved you on that night I told you that I loved you on that night I told you that I loved you on that night

I caught, your eye did you think about it? I've been talkin' about a whole lot when your gone You sway your hips like you forgot about it I’m in your head when we're running, we can take the town tonight. I need your touch cause I'm falling, your lovin' when I'm callin, your lovin' when I'm not around Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right You sleep at night, do you dream about it? Do Prairie thunderstorms calm your weary eyes I'm at your door, do you know what it's like? I want you in the morning, you know I want you so bad I can't stay where you want me, tell me where you want me Tell me, cause it's wearing me down Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right Say goodnight, my love, come home Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right Everytime you love babe, that's alright I'm thinking about you - love-sick you and I I'm thinking about tomorrow, because I can't get this right

I've got that whiskey in the eye my love You know I'm not afraid to fight Cause word's been gettin' round this town and I can't wait another night NoI'm not trying to start a war I'm just tired of being abused You better kiss me when that sun dips down you know that I still need your touch Cause when he beats me down, I think you're gonna have to hold me back When he hits the ground, I think you're gonna have to hold me back When the words are found, I think you're gonna have to hold me back You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back He bit the pavement with his blood filled smile I swore I'd practice what I preach I staggered closer just to hold her hand she ripped her fingers out of reach I said that "I'm just trying to hold my own, what do you expect from me?" She yelled "just take me home and shut your mouth, you know that I can't take your touch" Cause when he beats me down, I think you're gonna have to hold me back When he hits the ground, I think you're gonna have to hold me back When the words are found, I think you're gonna have to hold me back You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back You're gonna hold me back, You're gonna hold me back You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back You're gonna hold me back, you're gonna hold

I woke up, I was living, I shrugged it off Your lipstick cold, on my shoulder, the bloodshot eyes Let’s just call last night for what it was Throw regret into the dust Do what you’re thinking like Ooh baby, what’s been going on with your sad old eyes You know they make me wanna cry Singing ooh baby, let me make you smile again I was lost, I was jaded, I was out of control But where you go, I’ll go, I’ll go You can take me anywhere you’ve been But when you cuss me out, could you let it show? How the hell was I supposed to know? Do what you’re thinking like Ooh baby, what’s been going on with your sad old eyes You know they make me wanna cry Singing ooh baby, let me make you smile again Let me be the one again I could be the one again

When you dream, do you paint a perfect picture? In the rain, dancing on your lovers truck Summer days, spent drinking in your backyard It started with a whisper It started with a whisper, now I’m on the other side It started with a whisper, and I swear I lost my mind Just gotta let it linger, and I swear that we’ll be fine, we’ll be fine Well I heard, she said you saw me calling Felt your pain, when she said I was comin' around I just gotta be strong, I can feel your fear It started with a whisper It started with a whisper, now I’m on the other side It started with a whisper, and I swear I lost my mind Just gotta let it linger, and I swear that we’ll be fine, fine Cause you’ve been counting all those cloudy days I’ve been planning the surefire ways You’re the apple of my eye, I just wanna tell you that I miss you It started with a whisper, now I’m on the other side It started with a whisper, and I swear I lost my mind Just gotta let it linger, and I swear that we’ll be fine It started with a whisper, and it's, it's coming on so strong

In the fall, you couldn’t walk cause you were running The call, of the oceanwater breeze Do you recall, when you said you would remember? All those nights, the harvest moon it set you free So don’t give me that goddamn, West coast bullshit Goddamn, West coast lie That goddamn, West coast bullshit Your hitting me below the knees You come home, and you’re talking bout some coffee Seawall to roam, while we’re wandering in the fields Yeah this ain’t hell, but you can’t top how you’re living Big city lights, and new blood it sets you free So don’t give me that goddamn, West coast bullshit Goddamn, West coast lie That goddamn, West coast bullshit Your hitting me below the knees When you’re gone, there’s no sleeping (I lay my body down to hold you baby) I feel the harm, can’t see it (You never really loved me anyway) You were the one, I loved and I lost it all (Now I’m stuck inside my head I lost it all) So don’t give me that goddamn, West coast bullshit (I lay my body down to hold you baby) Goddamn, West coast lie (You never really loved me anyway) That goddamn, West coast bullshit (You never really loved me anyway) Your hitting me below the knees (Now I’m stuck inside my head I lost it all)

I bought some tickets from the skate shop I asked if I could hold her hand While she was driving back from Long Lake I paid my cover, and I slipped inside the lounge I backed my car into the band van I drove for shit just like a deer takes his first steps But we both laughed and shrugged it off the summer swept on by The band struck up, and we drew ever close I couldn’t find any faults then, cause I was over the moon But now I’m under the gun and I won’t let you down You’ll never know how much I miss those nights but I hope you hear how much I cared Dirty punk songs in a hall with the nicotine clouds at the door I was running around in a circle, now I’m sitting at a desk wearing ties I couldn’t find any faults then, cause I was over the moon But now I’m under the gun and I won’t let you down Well I know, it's been hard to keep the faith You broke my bones, yeah you turned and walked away Hell I've been low, can't you see what I can see? We were running around a circle We were fumbling for the fire in the dark, I loved you I couldn’t find any faults then, cause I was over the moon But now I’m under the gun and I won’t let you down I won't let you dowm
