The teenage runaway has dreams of the city lights But he's just dreaming cause he's tied to the shore With his mind full of dreams so much bigger than he It's no surprise that he's looking to sell his soul (Chorus) Hey dreamer never change When the crowd's screaming your name And paparazzi's lining up at your door And when actions fuel his words He'll scream until he's heard Till everyone's behind him singing along (Verse) This dreams the only thing that's keeping him feeling right Because his passion for it burns to the core And when the thoughts of his dreams start to justify means Then he will know What he's always been fighting for (Chorus) Hey dreamer never change When the crowd's screaming your name And paparazzi's lining up at your door And when actions fuel his words He'll scream until he's heard Till everyone's behind him singing along (Bridge) And that's when they'll say that he makes them feel sick Because they like to think that he just sold out And that's why they're all feeling sick And that's when they'll say He makes them sick to their stomach Every time that they hear his name They get sick to their stomach Over and over again Because he's out there believing That you're not to old for dreaming So their sick to their stomach They're all sick, sick of nothing He makes them sick to their stomach (Hey Dreamer never change) Every time that they hear his name (When the crowds screaming your name) They get sick to their stomach (And paparazzi's lining up at your door) Over and over again Because he's out there believing (And when actions fuel his words) That you're not to old for dreaming (He'll scream until he's heard) So their sick to their stomach (Until everyone's behind him singing along) They're all sick, sick of nothing He makes them sick to their stomach (Hey Dreamer never change) Every time that they hear his name (When the crowds screaming your name) They get sick to their stomach (And paparazzi's lining up at your door) Over and over again Because he's out there believing (And when actions fuel his words) That you're not to old for dreaming (He'll scream until he's heard) So their sick to their stomach (Until everyone's behind him singing along) They're all sick, sick of nothing

(Verse) It's just me standing by Waiting on the front porch Just in case you decide To finally come home (Pre Chorus) At first I was mad you'd be leaving In case you didn't notice you had family in this house Don't pretend you understand the feeling Thanks for teaching me that I should never give a damn if I'm alone (Chorus) And please don't come back here We don't need you I swear that we're better off we're better off I just keep thinking Was there ever a chance you thought that we were good enough And we will be just fine But now it seems that peace of mind will always be the hardest part to find (Verse) It's just you standing by Wondering where to go now It's to late to decide To finally come home (Pre chorus) At first I was mad you'd be leaving You're the only one who really thought you had to go Just because I understand the feeling I try to shield myself from it so I just hope and pray you're not alone (Chorus) And please don't come back here We don't need you I swear that we're better off we're better off I just keep thinking Was there ever a chance you thought that we were good enough And we will be just fine But now it seems that peace of mind will always be the hardest part to find

(Verse) It's just a countdown for another breakdown But if the world sees I swear it's all over I'm off the deep end so i'll just pretend That I'm not better off sleeping with your best friend I'm loosing my mind but I'll just act fine Until I pay rent by selling prescriptions Don't try to define what goes on in my mind And Tell the officer I can't walk the straight line (Chorus) I'm the model for ages 12 and over I'll try to remember that the next time that I'm sober Until then get used to seeing my face in the news Thank you all for watching all the terrible things that I do (Verse) I'll do my jail time while soldiers trip mines The only difference is that I'm making headlines I'll go to rehab or start a meth lab And teach your daughters to fall in love with dirt bags I'm on the radio blasting through your stereo Buy my songs online so you can sync it to your smart phone And hit the replay so I can get paid To fund the drugs that only screwed me in the first place (Chorus) I'm the model for ages 12 and over I'll try to remember that the next time that I'm sober Until then get used to seeing my face in the news Thank you all for watching all the terrible things that I do (Bridge) And when my age starts to get the best of me When I have to function in society You'll see that I'm to far gone And I should of learned early on That I'm living a life that was always short of progress Get myself a suit so I can fit in with your congress (Chorus) I'm the model for ages 12 and over I'll try to remember that the next time that I'm sober Until then get used to seeing my face in the news Thank you all for watching all the terrible things that I do I'm the model for ages 12 and over I'll try to remember that the next time that I'm sober Until then get used to seeing my face in the news Thank you all for watching all the terrible things that I do

(Verse) I lift my hands up to the sky Pray our hearts and our souls will allign I've discovered my reason to hide In not having you by my side And so this is how it feels To be left alone in this place Where no one remembers your name Cause nobody remembers your face (Chorus) You can find our gold plated streetlight Must look perfect when seen from the sky I can't work up the courage to pass by But I'm strong enough to break down and cry For all of the laughter for all of the nights For all of the kids who meet under streetlights They don't know they won't know Where to go when they're all alone (Verse) When the world takes all hope from your eyes When you're old enough to see through the lies Just remember the stars in the skies Will never shine just like our streetlights We were just kids young and apprehensive Not a penny to my name to late for second guesses (Chorus) You can find our gold plated streetlight Must look perfect when seen from the sky I can't work up the courage to pass by But I'm strong enough to break down and cry For all of the laughter for all of the nights For all of the kids who meet under streetlights They don't know they won't know Where to go when they're all alone

(Verse) He's out for another night of drinking All of his problems can't follow him there It's the end of the week when he gets to thinking The weight of the world is to much to bear (Pre chorus) But who are we to say that we are any better We all have our own ways to cope with our own life (Chorus) Empty bottles break the fall Damn this whole town damn you all Empty bottles on the shelf Sharing wisdom sharing wealth Empty bottles tell dark tales Empty bottles never fails For the souls who need to keep on keeping on (Verse) The bar is closing the scene is shrinking He starts looking for ways that he can get home He's walking for miles when he starts thinking That being with strangers is better than being alone (Pre chorus) But who are we to say that we are any better We all have our own way to cope with our own lives (Chorus) Empty bottles break the fall Damn this whole town damn you all Empty bottles on the shelf Sharing wisdom sharing wealth Empty bottles tell dark tales Empty bottles never fails For the souls who need to keep on keeping on
