Lyrics for the new Hanson album, Shout It Out
Waiting For This
Without a doubt, you're ahead of your time
Let's go out on the town, and give them a piece of your mind
You've been going 'round and 'round in your head
So don't think twice, you'll end up worse than you've been
'Cause I know that you've been thinkin 'bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time, I know that you've been waiting for this
I know that you've been waiting so, shout it out (shout it out)
So everybody can hear
There's no need to rhyme it, when the message is clear
You know I can't ignore it, so what are you waiting for?
You're trying hard not to show it
But I know that you've been thinking 'bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time, I know that you've been waiting for this
Can't figure out how you've made it this far
If you don't mind me saying, there's no sense in waiting so, shout it out (shout it out)
Shout it out (shout it out)
You can't deny it (you can't deny it), until you try
'Cause I know that you've been thinking 'bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time, I know what you've been waiting for
You can't deny, I know that you've been waiting for this
I know that you've been waiting for this
Thinking 'Bout Something'
Well I gave you love you know it
So when did you outgrow it
And decide that you would find another man?
You've been out there shaking
The tail the boys are chasing
When you get home you think I'll be the bigger man
I've been thinking 'bout something
I've been thinking 'bout something other than you
I ignored your reputation
'Cause you sent my heart racing
You think I will always be the fool
I've run out of patience
For this sticky situation
You won't find me crying that we're through
I've been thinking 'bout something
I've been thinking 'bout something other than you
It's sad to say, but baby everyday
I've been thinking 'bout something
I've been thinking 'bout something other than you
It's sad to say
If you're not too proud to beg
I can give you some respect
But the tune you're hummin' is never gonna change
You didn't have to do what you did
But I thank you it ended like this
'Cause the love I've got is better than what you gave
Well I've got girls in line
Waiting for these arms of mine
Listen up, to what I say
I've been thinking 'bout something
I've been thinking 'bout something other than you
It's sad to say, but baby everyday
I've been thinking 'bout something
I've been thinking 'bout something other than you
Well I've had enough
Of your tainted love
You gave me everyday
I tried doing right
Through the lonely nights
But I'm done getting played
I'm not gonna make that same mistake
You've been out there fooling
But I'm not thinking about you
I've been getting a love that moves me
While you've been getting around
Kiss Me When You Come Home
You may give me gray hairs before my time
I'll be happy just sitting on the passenger side
'Cause I live for
You and me and a lonely drive
You can stay out late
You can burn the candle
You can contemplate
But won't you kiss me good?
I will tell you straight
If it's too hard to handle
All I've got to say
Is won't you kiss me when you come home?
Kiss me when you come home
Won't you kiss me when you come home?
On my lips
Kiss me when you come home
Won't you kiss me when you come home?
It gets tough
But we've picked up
A lot of things along the way
You know that
When I get mad
I don't mean a word that I say
Sometimes I need more
Than what's left at the end of the day
You can stay out late
You can burn the candle
You can contemplate
But won't you kiss me good?
I will tell you stright
If it's too hard to handle
All I've got to say
Is won't you kiss me when you come home?
Kiss me when you come home
Won't you kiss me when you come home?
On my lips
Sometimes reason
Doesn't line up with the rhyme
With a wash and a sew
The rips and the frays will come out okay in time
'Cause I long for
You and me and a lonely drive
You can stay out late
You can burn the candle
You can contemplate
But won't you kiss me good?
I will tell you straight
If you're too hard to handle
All I've got to say
Is won't you kiss me when you come home?
Kiss me when you come home
Won't you kiss me when you come home?
I said on my lips now
Kiss me when you come home
Carry You There
I don't care, what you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need, a Cadillac, 'cause I'll be waiting with my bare back, to carry you there
Try, you don't have to be afraid to just rely
On someone to hold the weight part of the time
It's all right
It can get too much to handle my yourself
But if you can do it alone I know you will say
I don't know
What's at stake
Or what it takes
I don't care
What you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need
A Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there
(I'll carry you there, I will carry you there, I'll carry you there, I will carry you there)
Turn around
And you just might see the good you've left behind
But you're all caught up with what's still left to find
And it's never enough
So slow down
and the root of what you're feeling might appear
All the pushing up the hill has brought you here
And you're used up
To the line
You tell me you are fine
Well I don't care
What you say
I don't have use for your words anyway
You don't need
A Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
To carry you there
don't be too proud
I'm holding my hand out
You've been my friend on darker days
Well I'll still be there
Despite your despair
I don't really care what you say
I'll carry you there
I will carry you there
Give A Little
When she walked in
With her painted lips
Did she teas you for your flirty quips?
Did she leave you frozen with the wrong words chosen?
You gotta show her why she can't resist
Make her blush when you put your hand on her hips
She's gonna keep on playing until you stop chasing
So wrap your arms around her body
Tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
You gotta show her
When she can't decide
You gotta hold her
With that look in your eyes
When you move in close
Take your time
Leave an empty shoulder
Let her move in closer
And tell her all she needs to know
Give a little heart and soul
Let your body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
She loves to keep you in suspense
You know she loves to keep you in suspense
But you know she just wants to dance
Give a little heart and soul
Let her body lose control
Give a little oh oh oh
Just give a little
Wrap your arms around and give a little
Make It Out Alive
The more I love you
The more I'm lovin' you
The more I need you
The more I'm needing to
I surrender
What I thought I knew
One look in your eyes
I know my games are through
You've been holding on
And I've been holding back
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter if you're here by my side?
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter?
It's just a matter of time
Reservation
Is sneaking up on me
Was I mistaken
To let you get to me?
I'm overtaken
In ways I've never known
So please don't break me
We've still got a ways to go
We're still holding on
Just hoping for the best
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter if you're here by my side?
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter?
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
these memories
That we've got
May not amount to much
But I'm so glad that we've got 'em
We cannot be
What we're not
but it's too late to get out or shed a tear for doubt
We're just holding on
Just bracing for the worst
We may not make it out alive (we may not make it out alive)
What does it matter if you're here by my side?
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter?
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
And I Waited
Is there something wrong with the way you feel?
'Cause you've been acting like you're overloaded
Been going on like
You got something to prove
You better keepit mind
Maybe it's too hot
Out on the black top
Nobody else is gonna save you
You're pretty uptight
For being downtown
I've been up all night
And I waited
Waited for soemthing to arrive
Got to keep this beat alive
but she keeps me satisfied
And I waited
Waited for something to be real
When it's pounding in your ear
Doesn't matter when you feel
Where do we go from here?
The futur's so unclear
You're such a doll my dear
Well there's nothing wrong
With the way you look
But you've been acting like you're up to no good
You're playing me like I've got nothing to lose
You better keep it in line
I'm not gonna get off
Until the last stop
Nobody else is gonna save me
Turn the heat up
For the meltdown
I've been up all night
And I waited
Waited for something to arrive
Got to keep this beat alive
But she can't be satisfied
And I waited
Waited for something to be real
When it's pounding in your ear
Doesn't matter what you fear
Where do we go from here?
The future's so unclear
You're such a doll my dear
Use Me Up
Somebody let me down
Somebody show me love
I wouldn't care much either way
I'd rather the sticks and stones
Than dragging the ball and chain of
"What if the world won't save me"
Even if the hull should crack
Even if the blood flows red
Nothing could be worse than numb
So please
Use me up
I just want anyone to
Use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
I've carried it all too long
The fear of the pain it brings
Feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart
Than live the emptiness of
"What if the world won't take me"
Even if the bow should break
Even if the blood runs cold
Nothing could be worse than numb
Please
Use me up
I just want anyone to
Use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
Use me up
Treat me some way cruel
You can throw me away
As long as I feel it
Show me something true
You can't deceive me
I am yours to use
Use me up
Use me up
These Walls
These walls are too hard to climb and that ladder is too hard to find
I don't want to be here anymore
These roads are too hard to walk
With the things you've been saying I don't even want to talk
I don't what to find you on the floor
I don't want to be
Here
Anymore
A fair amount of disbelief
These walls are killing me
I don't want to be here anymore
Speak your mind or speak your peace
I swear we're sinking deep
Well I don't want to wind up
On the floor
I don't want to be
Here
Anymore
The sky is falling all over again
Just another day's conclusion
Another disillusional night
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure
Or way too much exposure to compromise?
Well I can't take all these walls
These walls
You've been yelling up into the red
But you haven't heard a word I've said
I don't want to be here anymore
Give all I've got can be bittersweet
When you think everyone's beneath your feet
I don't want to wind up on the floor
I don't want to be here anymore
The sky is falling all over again
Just another day's conclusion
Another disillusional night
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure
Or way too much exposure to compromise?
I can't take all these wall
Too hard to climb
These walls
I can't take all these walls
You say they're too hard to climb
These walls
These walls
They're too hard to climb
Musical Ride
Come on this musical ride with me
It might just change the life you think you're gonna lead
And if I'm right you might just stop and see
I'll take your breath away
Show you more than you have known
And everyday
I'll give you all this
Nothing
And more
Why
Are you waiting
For what is left to know?
There is no reason we should be standing still
Pick the destination
And I'll pick the road
I'll take your breath away
Show you more than you have known
And everyday
I'll give you all this
Nothing
And more
I'll give you all this
Nothing
And more
Don't make your mind up just yet
There's till so much for you to see
And every time you waste a moment you waste make believe
I see it take you hold you much let go before it starts
This confrontation you keep feeling is your heart
It's simple
but somehow
Letting go's the hardest part
Come on this musical ride
With me
It might just change the life you think you're gonna lead
And if I'm right you might just stop and see
It might just change your life
It might just blow your mind
Don't make your mind up just yet
There's till so much for you to see
And every time you waste a moment you waste make believe
I see it taking you hold you must let go before it starts
This confrontation you keep feeling is your heart
It's simple
But somehow
Letting go's the hardest part
Voice In The Chorus
All this time
I've been bearing it alone
Never had a single doubt in my mind
You passed me by
When I was barely hanging on
but you were there when I was doing just fine
Caroline
I'm gonna take your own advice
I won't think twice 'cause you are not worth my time
'Cause you'll be there waiting when I'm back on top
And you'll be there saying
You gave me what I've got
But you're just another voice in the chorus
Just another voice in the chorus
Singing
Just another voice in the chorus
You say you knew it all long
but you're jsut another voice in the chorus
You're just another voice in the chorus
Singing
Just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along
Tell me where you have been all this time, Caroline?
Well big surprise
You were the last one to arrive
And the first to cut in line
Sacrifice
Something you don't know about
but something I can't get around in my life
'Cause you'll be there waiting when I'm back on top
And you'll be there saying
You gave me what I've got
but you're just another voice in the chorus
Just another voice in the chorus
Singing
Just another voice in the chorus
You say you knew it all along
You're just another voice in the chorus
Just another voice in the chorus
Singing
Just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along
Tell me where you have been all this time, Caroline?
'Cause you've never realy known
'Til you're all on your own
And the words come out all wrong
Oh you've never really known
Oh you never really know
'Til it's dark and cold
And there's no one to call you home
Oh you've never really known
Your true colors will be shown
When you're out all alone
And everything comes out all wrong
Oh you'll finally really know
You're just another voice in the chorus
But you're just another voice in the chorus
Bet you knew it all along
Knew it all along
Me, Myself, and I
It must be the end of the road
It must be the end of you and I and forever too
I'm walking the last bridge alone
We've given up on the good times and the bad we knew
When I'm alone in a cold dark room
Well
There's still someone that I can tell my troubles to
Me, myself, and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Meyself and I will never be alone
We weill find a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
When did start getting old?
When did it stop being worth the time just to see it through?
I don't want ot get used to "it's over"
But we've already said too much to make it new
When I'me alone in a cold dark room
Well
There's still someone that I can tell my troubles to
Me, myself and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Myself and I will never be alone
We will gine a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Well it's hard to see
that you don't belong to me
I gave you the best part of my life
Well I tried to be
Everything that you'd want me to be
I don't have to give you reasons why
'Cause all that's left is me, myself, and I
I'm not gonna try to forget
Maybe happiness is worth the chance of a bitter end
'Cause here at the end of the road
I don't really care who was right
I'll give you the last words tonight
'Cause me, myself, and I will never be alone
We'll find a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
Myself and I will never be alone
We will find a way to get along
It will be fine
When all that's left is me, myself, and I
