Song lyrics All songs written by Dan Estrin and Doug Robb, except as noted. Hoobastank (2001) I will dedicateAnd sacrifice my everything for just a second's worthOf how my story's endingAnd I wish I could know if the directions that I takeAnd all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing. Crawling in the Dark Show me what it's forMake me understand itI've been crawling in the dark looking for the answerIs there something more than what I've been handed?I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer.Help me carry on. Crawling in the Dark I wanted to be just like you,So perfect, so untouchable.Now you want me to be with you,Someone who used to have it all. Remember Me Did you know me?Or were you too preoccupiedWith playing king in your small kingdom?And now the real worldHas stripped you of your royalty;and from your kingdom you're evicted. Remember Me I don't want you to give it all upAnd leave your own life collecting dust.And I don't want you to feel sorry for me;You never gave us a chance to be.And I don't need you to be by my sideTo tell me that everything's alright.I just wanted you to tell me the truth;You know I'd do that for you. Running Away The Reason (2003) Whenever I step outside, somebody claims to see the light.It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience.'Cause everyone thinks they're right, and nobody thinks that there just mightBe more than one road to our final destination. Same Direction I've done everything as you say.I've followed your rules without question.I thought it would help me see things clearly,But instead of helping me to see,I look around and it's like I'm blinded. Out of Control, featuring Ian Watkins, and Jamie Oliver of Lostprophets I'm not a perfect person,There's many things I wish I didn't do.But I continue learning.I never meant to do those things to you.And so I have to say before I goThat I just want you to knowI've found a reason for meTo change who I used to be;A reason to start over new,and the reason is you. The Reason I've found a reason to showA side of me you didn't know,A reason for all that I do,And the reason is you. The Reason There's a pain that sleeps inside.It sleeps with just one eye.And awakens the moment that you're near.Though I try to look away,The pain it still remains,Only leaving when you're next to me. Disappear Every Man for Himself (2006) With eyes closed tightly,I march so blindly.Pretending everything's fine,'Cause you're there to keep me in line.I don't want your guidance,I'll break my silence.So sick of asking and being denied and now I realize. Born to Lead It seems so obviousThere's something up with us.I smell the feelingFrom across the room.So can I ask you this?Not to be forward, miss,But I think I'll kill myselfIf I never know...What do I have to doTo get inside of you?To get inside of you?'Cause I love the way you move,When I'm inside of you.When I'm inside of you... Inside of You If I were youHolding the world right in my hands,The first thing I'd doIs thank the stars for all that I have,If I were you. If I Were You For(N)ever (2009) I have been patiently waiting in lineWatching everyone passing me by.And I can't seem to figure outWhen's it going to be my turn? My Turn So close, yet so far;It’s tearing me apart.What I would do to be there with you.So close, yet so far;It’s tearing me apart.What I would do to be back with you. So Close, So Far It's too late to try and work it outThere's no way to turn this thing around.It's all there in the letter that I found.I've memorized it line for line;Too bad the letter isn't mine...
