You were a friend of ours Now your a friend of hers As far as friendship goes I've seen then end much worse So forget that we shared A person who cared About themselves much more than you or me And one day maybe (Chorus) I, I, I'll see you around Ella When I conquer my fears I, I, I'll see you around Ella When the coast is clear But if she's around You won't see me near (Verse) We always got along But you and her were better friends I knew you'd leave with her In the bitter end I longed for the nights When my love was right It was great when you tagged along Where did we go wrong (Chorus) I, I, I'll see you around Ella When I conquer my fears I, I, I'll see you around Ella When the coast is clear But if she's around You won't see me near (Chorus) I, I, I'll see you around Ella When I conquer my fears I, I, I'll see you around Ella When the coast is clear But if she's around You won't see me near

(verse) She's run circles round your brain Opening up every gate Make you question if you're sane She does it every day (Chorus) It's just something That she likes to do It happens to everyone Don't think it's just you Open up your heart Forget her Or she'll tear your world apart (Verse) She makes shadows in your gut Makes you lonely makes you sick She Trespasses in your blood Self destructive instincts hit (Chorus) It's just something That you have to do It happens to everyone Don't think it's just you Open up your heart Forget her Or she'll tear your world apart (Verse) She cuts deep into your soul Makes you ache and makes you squirm And when you think you can move on That thought will make you insecure (Chorus) It's just something That will happen to you There is no cure But here's what ya gotta do Open up your heart Forget her Or she'll tear your world apart

Movie Night 03:08
(verse) Particles of dust in the air Articles of clothing thrown about everywhere Project an image That you've never seen My eyes are glued to you Yours to the TV screen (Chorus) Let's go It's movie night at my place We will watch whatever you choose Let's go It's movie night at my place Every film is good As long as I watch it with you (Verse) I'll pour a glass And you can whine About how there is not a single character that you like Quiet now Your favorite part The only sounds are from the screen and from my beating heart (Chorus) Let's go It's movie night at my place We will watch whatever you choose Let's go It's movie night at my place Every film is good As long as I watch it with you (Verse) Gorgeous view A final shot I think about my favorite scene But I can't remember the plot Credits roll no more Sounds no more color I ask what you wanna do You wink and say "let's watch another" (Chorus) Let's go It's movie night at my place We will watch whatever you choose Let's go It's movie night at my place Every film is good As long as I watch it with you

(verse) Everytime you try you fail to entertain her You're looking like a saint but to her your just a stranger (Chorus) He's got $40 dollars and he wants to buy you some vinyl He claims your curls and your bangs and your eyes his blues But your heart's set on another man and that is final You got to come to terms that girl you love Oh no, she doesn't love you (Verse) Show of your skills, your smarts, people say your good at cooking Good luck catching her eye I know she wasn't looking (Chorus) He checks on you now and than to make sure you're okay He wants you to know that his love is not a sham He wants you to go on a date with him today The poor dumb sap doesn't know Uh huh, you love another man (Bridge) You're love has never been your strongest feature The lonesome night crawls into your life just like a creature You are way past the point of no return I'll never know what you see in her Without love are life would be so much better Don't worry kid, one day it'll be your turn (Verse) Try writing her a letter, let her know what she's missing And when you deliver it ignore the guy that she's kissing (Chorus) It's okay to be hopped up on love and other drugs Anything to make the pain stop is worth a try If all else fails fall into the warmth of the rug Don't be sick of this Get over it She loves another guy
