1: Better luck next time, Prince Charming

3: Drop everything, lets go to Vegas
4: Dwight get out of my nook!
5: Got together, fought once, broke up
6: This is how we do it
7: It kind of smells like, apricots
8: I'm not comin' to your party
9: Mom says, give toys to unfortunate
10: Living up to my, sisters example
I am Alex Shelnutt, I am the drummer from A Day To Remember. In music no one really notices the drums. But no one realizes how key they are until they're gone. Thats the way I see myself people won't realize me until I am gone. I write lyrics but I am not really a fan of reading. I think you can say so much more with music in a few sentences, than a novel can. Music lets me feel more emotionally connected, it hits a deeper level. I want to hit that deeper emotional level with everyone.

You Should've Killed Me When You Had The Chance
So I say goodbye to a town that has ears and eyes
I can hear you whispering as I walk by
Familiar faces smiling back at me and I knew
This would make them change
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I’ve read these stories a thousand times, and now I’ll rewrite them all
You’re meddling in an anger you can’t control
She means the world to me, so hold your serpent tongue
Is a whores lies worth dying for? I'll just take my time
The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends
Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?
The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor
I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor when I'm done
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
But should I... ? (You should have killed me when you had the chance)
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance

The flip side of the vanilla kool aid pancake.
I will catch you on the flip side of the ying yang, though i might be on the ching chang eating doritos in kool aid, in my tube socks on carpet, it was only a snarpet of time, before i called that kangaroo mine, kangaroo mine, mine mine mine, thats all i think about all the time, statistics and cookies are out in the rain, i want the halloween so yaaa.
Direct Orders
You've been direct orders to rock the f#@* out. Rock out like every day is your 21st birthday. Rock out like you just landed a record deal. Rock out like the street is your shower. Rock out like you just got your first kiss from your dream girl. Rock out like you got the last cookie. Rock out like you never have to go to school or work again. Rock out like it's a Saturday and its time for cartoons. Rock out like you get to eat ice cream for breakfast. Rock out like your family went on vacation for a week, and the only thing you have on your mind is.... PARTY!

This is for the kids who never had a date to a school dance
for all the computer geeks
for all the fat kids scared to take their shirts off at the pool
This is for the kids who've been told they're not good enough
Shake the dust.
This is for all the popular kids who think they're all that
for the cheerleaders who are unsure of themselves
for the druggies who feel this is the only way to be happy
for the emo kids who are so misunderstood
Shake the dust.
Don't be scared to be you, people are people,
who cares how much money you have, what car you drive,
where you come from, it doesn't really matter. When it all comes down
to it, you're gonna regret it if you treat some someone badly, and it made you happy so
Shake the dust.

I'm Thinking About You
I'm thinking about you like peanut butter thinks about jelly, like shoes think about laces, like cars think about races. I'm thinking about you like stereos think about sound, like the air thinks about the ground, like planes think about flying, like girls think about crying. I'm thinking about you like cats think about mice, like asians think about rice, like papers think about pens, like cameras think about lens. I'm thinking about you like trash cans think about bags, like geezers think about hags, like wheels think about turning, like butter thinks about churning.
Love is....
LOVE is a green stop sign, do you go because it is green, or do you stop because it says to? LOVE is a semi-truck, it will hit you when you least expect it. LOVE is a fire, you're not the only one that can put the flames out. LOVE is peeing your pants, everyone can see it but only you get the warm feeling it brings. LOVE is skydiving, you'll never know what it feels like unless you jump out and fall. LOVE is a blank canvas, you've got to make it your own. LOVE is a warm shower that goes cold, you've got to keep turning up the temperature or else the shower will be done. LOVE is a dream that you'll eventually wake up from. LOVE is a pair of scissors cutting paper, you can't take back what you've done and it leaves you with scars that will never go away. LOVE is superglue, you don't always want to be stuck with one person.
