Day after day Still feel the same Nothing left to say But still I hesitate Hold it all inside Hope I'll be alright Am I out of line I don't want to be out of line And I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it Need a change of pace One time can't erase Get me out of this place They say I'm such a waste Hold it all inside Hope I'll be alright Am I out of line I don't want to be out of line And I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it Day after day Still feel the same Nothing left to say And still I hesitate Hold it all inside Hope I'll be alright Am I out of line I don't want to be out of line And I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it And I am Feeling like I'm changing but I still don't know if I can take it I am

Angel 02:27
lyrics
It seems that all she ever wanted to know She said Don't forget me when and if you go And if you leave i'll try to be alright Please try To call me every night If you can I'll dream of holding your hand And though these dreams are black and white You're an angel tonight And i'm an asshole In a ska/punk band It seems that all I ever wanted to know Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Everything will be ok You can leave but i'll stay And I just want to hold your hand If I can I'll dream of holding your hand And if you think of me tonight Everything will be alright And I just want to hold your hand You're my angel

Supernova (Last Tuesday Night) 03:38
lyrics
Remember when we glowed like burning stars now dark and cold The sky just doesn't look the same We played the game of trust you broke the rules it hurt so much Next time you're falling I won't pick you up again Where where you last Tuesday night I heard a rumor this just isn't right Another pretty face Another time and place I think my luck is gonna change A broken promise Nothing can stop this Look in my eyes It won't mean anything at all All the planning Fuck understanding This was your choice It won't mean anything at all Another day goes by with one more chance to make things right But it doesn't change a thing This roller coaster ride has made me sick too many times I'll never wish upon a fading star again Where where you last Tuesday night I heard a rumor this just isn't right Another pretty face Another time and place I think my luck is gonna change A broken promise Nothing can stop this Look in my eyes It won't mean anything at all All the planning Fuck understanding This was your choice It won't mean anything at all Where were you last Tuesday night?

Just Like Last Time 02:47
lyrics
The wrong girl Walked through the wrong door At exactly the right time I wish I saw then what I see now How could I be so blind My heart is broken in two And she don't care And there's absolutely nothing I can do (or say) Maybe tomorrow there will be another door, another girl, a little time, another broken heart Or maybe just like last time She'll think I'm funny and she'll spend all my money She'll call me honey and if I'm really lucky I'll take of from work she'll cut out of school She'll meet someone else and I'll end up a fool I'll end up a fool Maybe next time things will go better I won't get that phone call Won't get that letter She'll tell me how much she loves me And that there's no one above me She'll always hold my hand She'll understand and keep a picture of us on her nightstand She'll ask me how my day was And no one will take us apart Maybe next time (maybe next time) there will be no broken heart Or maybe just like last time She'll think I'm funny and she'll spend all my money She'll call me honey and if I'm really lucky I'll take of from work she'll cut out of school She'll meet someone else or maybe... Just last time she'll just go crazy And then she'll leave me and I'll cry like a baby And maybe it won't be long Till she hears this song She says I'm wrong and tells me to fuck off Yeah she says I'm wrong Yeah she says I'm wrong Yeah she says I'm wrong They all say I'm wrong I can't wait till I find the right girl

Wrong Side of the Bed 02:52
lyrics
Saturday morning I woke up on the wrong side of the bed My ears are ringing A million thoughts racing through my head I wipe the sleep away As the phones ringing off the hook The radio is too loud Its too fucking loud I went outside and stopped to say I wish I could sleep all fucking day My ears are ringing Driving me insane I'm singing Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Hey Too many mornings I'm waking up and don't remember anything And its driving me insane The phones ringing off the hook And its driving me insane And the man on the receiver yeah is telling me He's telling me its time to go I went outside and stopped to say I wish I could sleep all fucking day My ears are ringing Driving me insane I'm singing Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa I went outside and stopped to say I wish I could sleep all fucking day My ears are ringing Driving me insane I'm singing Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

Alarm Clock 02:46
lyrics
Sometimes I don't want to get out of bed So much pressure in such little time I'm being pulled in every direction Is there enough to even make me care They said I'm wasting all my time I don't need their opinions Criticism hurts When the clock is ticking The snooze buttons broken Will I be alright When the alarm goes off Sometimes I feel all used up (Whoa Whoa Whoa) Like there's nothing left for me to give It's a painful realization (Whoa Whoa Whoa) And in the end who will still be there Its hard keeping my dreams alive With everyone's opinions Criticism hurts When the clock is ticking The snooze buttons broken Will I be alright When the alarm goes off They said I'm wasting all my time I don't need their opinions Criticism hurts When the clock is ticking The snooze buttons broken Will I be alright When the alarm goes off

Too Little Too Late 02:17
lyrics
Wake me up I hope this was a bad dream It seems I've gone to far to understand When I felt There was no left too Pick me up and put me back to bed Sometimes I like to hide Sometimes I want to fall asleep again Whoa (Whoa) Whoa Could this be the end Don't let me fall again Wake me up I guess I should have realized It's still so hard for me to be your friend I was wrong I never want to hurt you I give it all for you to hold my hand Sometimes I like to hide Sometimes I want to fall asleep again Whoa (Whoa) Whoa Could this be the end Don't let me fall again You said I'd always change It's different Nothings going to be the same Too little too late I'm leaving Why did you have to be that way And still things rearrange I'm broken Do you think you'll need me today Sometimes I like to hide Sometimes I want to fall asleep again Whoa (Whoa) Whoa Could this be the end

Answers to the Wind 03:58
lyrics
And there were tears in your eyes And there were sunbeams in your hair And there were tears in your eyes And there were sunbeams in your hair And then it all came crashing down on me I should have known that you were lying When you said that you loved me but you were crying I wondered why you weren't talking When you turned your head away and starting walking And there were tears in your eyes And there were sunbeams in your hair Yeah there were tears in your eyes And there were sunbeams in your hair And then it all came crashing down on me I'm leaving you for now she said I need some time to clear my head Right now this seems to be the end She's throwing answers to the wind And now I'm all alone and thinking of you and all the good times we shared Sometimes I wonder if you ever do the same Sometimes I think you never cared And I think back to the tears in your eyes And the sunbeams in your hair If you ever name the time and place You know I'll always meet you there (And it would all come crashing down) I'm leaving you for now she said I need some time to clear my head Right now this seems to be the end She's throwing answers to the wind And there were tears in your eyes (I should have known that you were lying) And there were sunbeams in your hair Yeah there were tears in your eyes (I should have known that you were lying) And there were sunbeams in your hair And then it all came crashing down on me

about

Fun Facts:

- Same as 11:34 this EP was recorded entirely on an 8 track minidisc recorder (a Yamaha MD8) in John's basement. To do this we recorded all of the drums first and mixed them down to one track. Then the same with the vocals, guitar, bass and horns. The "fun" part about this process was that if we found a mess up on an instrument that was mixed down already we had to start the song over from scratch. When you only have 8 tracks to work with and have to mic around 16 different sources you have to get creative =).
- During mixing John recorded over part of one of the vocal tracks by accident.
- On "Just Like Last Time" the clap sounds at the end of the song are not handclaps. It is the sound of the noise gate on the md8 opening and closing during recording. I don't know why we left it in but at least it almost sounded like it belonged there.
- P.R.A. stands for "Punk Rock Adam". He was a good friend of all of ours for years (I used to play SNES with him when we were 12) and was a regular of the Staten Island music scene. The song was named after him but is not directly about him.
