[Verse 1]
I'm the red balloon at the carnival
That you let go of to see how
High you got when you took your first hit
Felt so good when it hit your lips
Didn't it didn't it?
Yeah
I'm the night your borrowed your daddy's car
So you could look cool when you picked her
Up all night with a desk light studying science
Dying inside cuz you hated that shit
Didn't ya, didn't ya?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh,
throw your hands way in the air if you feel me
Oh, when the party's over
You still talk about me
[Chorus]
You can find me
in your hometown
Burning up the radio
You know me
Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos
Lift you up
And I pull you down
Long gone but I'm still around
Yeah I know all about ya
They call me Nostalgia
Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia
[Verse 2]
I'm that little apartment up in New York
You could barely afford you were so
Broke his heart when you went off to college
Hurt so bad being that honest
Didn't it, didn't it?
I was your birthday night when he burned the chicken
Lookin’ back now it was your
Favorite song on the TRL countdown
All day Sugar Ray singing it out
“I just wanna fly..”
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
Throw your hands way in the air if you feel me
Oh when the party's over
you still talk about me
[Chorus]
You can find me
in your hometown
Burning up the radio
You know me
Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos
Lift you up
And I pull you down
Long gone but I'm still around
Yeah I know all about ya
They call me Nostalgia
Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia
Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
Throw your hands way in the air if you feel me
Oh when the party's over
you still talk about me
[Chorus]
You can find me
in your hometown
Burning up the radio
You know me
Got the scars, posters and Polaroid photos
Lift you up
And I pull you down
Long gone but I'm still around
Yeah I know all about ya
They call me Nostalgia
Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia
Na nostalgia na na na nostalgia

[Verse 1]
Can I take your order please?
We’ve got 2 for 1 drinks
No, no, I’m not busy
I can bring you anything
No I don’t need to write it down
Please, I’ve got this down by now
Oh, take your time
I know I would take mine
[Chorus]
But I’m waiting on you
Waiting on pay
Waiting on tables
Waiting all day
Waiting on a savior to walk in this place
And take me away
I’m just a waitress
[Verse 2]
Wish I was that girl sittin at 31
Sippin’ on beers instead of pouring ‘em
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
To be somebody else tonight
[Chorus]
Not waiting on you
Waiting on pay
Waiting on tables
Waiting all day
Waiting on a savior to walk in this place
And take me away
I’m just a waitress
[Bridge]
I’m at your service
I hope you enjoy it
Come back and see me
You know where I’ll be
[Down-Chorus]
Waiting on you
Waiting on pay
Waiting on tables all damn day
On a savior to walk in this place
And take me away...
[Chorus]
Waiting on you
Waiting on pay
Waiting on tables
Waiting all day
Waiting on a savior to walk in this place
And take me away
I’m just a, I’m just a
I’m just a waitress

[Verse 1]
You're reading Jane Austin
Getting lost in her ways
Of making you lonely and wishing for fate to come knocking on your door
Wash up on your shore
Only 13, and your imagining
What it's like to be married
[Verse 2]
All of the boys who go to your school
You think that they think that you aren't that cool
But cool is a liar, I'm calling it's bluff
You're pretty and smart and that is enough
[Chorus]
Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed
[Verse 3]
You like when they're nice
Cause It's nice to be liked
But charm can wear off quick as day becomes night
Maybe daddy was right
That all boys just want one thing
He’ll show you in time
If his words just mean nothing
[Chorus]
So Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed
[Bridge]
Save yourself the heartache
Don't you know it's worth the wait?
Cause no one can fix what he might break
[Chorus]
Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed

Good Intentions

[Verse 1]
I plan on stopping all the talking
And knocking on the doors
Of boys who I know are bad for me
Said I’d quit shopping, dropping
Bank on the clothes that make him wanna buy me a drink
Said I’d quit leaving my car parked behind the bar
But I got towed the second time this week
I watch the ball drop on new years eve
But drop the ball when it comes to me
[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions
[Verse 2]
Nobody’s perfect, no
But I plan on working
On a version half as good as the girl next door
Have you heard? I’m gonna save the world
I’ll get started when I’m not so poor
I been telling myself it’s the thought that counts
So let me tell ya what I’m thinking about
[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions
[Bridge]
All bad, bad, bad decisions
Wanna get, get them out of my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Ditch the excuses I been givin’
All bad, bad, bad decisions
Wanna get, get them out of my system
Fix, fix, fix my condition
Instead of just sitting here wishin
[Chorus]
Gonna get skinny this year
And I swear that ill stop cursing
Gonna stop drinking this beer
Try to keep the lines from blurring
Between what I say and what I do
When I’m all talk, no followthrough
Well you can’t get rich making penny wishes
Can’t get to heaven
On good intentions

Yours

[Verse 1]
Got no babies to feed
No place to be
There’s nobody at home
Waiting on me
Got a bed by a window
I don’t need much more
But sure would love to be yours
[Verse 2]
There’s a place down the street
Much older than me
They call me by name and
They know what I need
There’s a booth that I sit at every morn
I sure would love to be yours
[Chorus]
Bitter freedom ain’t worth keeping
There's something that I’ve been needing
That I can’t provide
No matter how hard I try
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Bitter freedom ain’t worth keeping
Something that I’ve been needing
That I can’t provide
No matter how hard I try
[Verse 3]
There’s a light in the hall
I like to keep on
A little trick that I play
So I don’t feel alone
There’s a side of the bed
That I try to ignore
I sure would love to be yours
I sure would love to be yours
