World War III

(Yeah!)
(Yeah!)
(Oh!)

Tonight I walked into the bedroom
You were visibly upset
Telling me I made a bad move
But I didn’t do nothin’
You start screaming, wake the neighbors
And ow everybody’s out for blood
I didn’t want no confrontation
Because of you that’s what I’ve got

Well you gotta chill out
Cause baby I don’t want to fight witchu
And every battle we fought
Just made us look like fools

No, you can’t have a World War III
If there’s only one side fighting
And you know, whoa-oh
That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
It doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And then I know, whoa-oh
That I’ll never let it be a World War III.
World War III

(Let me tell ‘em)
Now you’re rounding up your army
Turning all your troops on me
Telling lies just to feel happy
But I won’t retaliate

No, you can’t have a World War III
If there’s only one side fighting
And you know, whoa-oh
That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
It doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And then I know, whoa-oh
That I’ll never let it be a World War III.

Well you gotta chill out
Cause baby I don’t want to fight witchu
And every battle we fought
Just made us look like fools

No, you can’t have a World War III

That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
It doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And then I know, whoa-oh
That I’ll never let it be a World War III.
(Not gonna be a World War III)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Every time you attack
It doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And I know, whoa-oh
That I’ll never let it be World War III.
World War III

Paranoid

I make the most of all the stress
I try to live without regrets
But I’m about to break a sweat
I’m freaking out

It’s like a poison in my brain
It’s like a fog that blurs the sane
It’s like a vine you can’t untangle
I’m freaking out

Every time I turn around
Something don’t feel right

Just might be paranoid
I’m avoiding the lines cuz they just might split
Can someone stop the noise
I don’t know what it is, but it just don’t fit
I’m paranoid
(Yeah)

I take the necessary steps
To get some air into my chest
I’m taking all the doctor’s meds
And still freaking out

That’s why my ex is still my ex
I never trust a word she says
I’m running all the background checks
And she’s freaking out

Every time I turn around
Something’s just not right

Just might be paranoid
I’m avoiding the lines cuz they just might split
Can someone stop the noise
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
Consider me destroyed
I don’t know how to act cuz I lost my head
I must be paranoid
I never thought it would come to this
I’m paranoid

Stuck in a room with staring faces
(Yeah)
Caught in a nightmare, can’t wake up
If you hear my cry
Running through the street
I’m about to freak
Come and rescue me

Just might be paranoid, yeah
I’m avoiding the lines cuz they just might split
Can someone stop the noise
I don’t know what it is but it just don’t fit
Consider me destroyed
I don’t know how to act cuz I lost my head
I must be paranoid
I never thought it would come to this
I’m paranoid

Fly with Me

If time was still
The sun would never, never find us
We could light up
The sky tonight
I would see the world through your eyes
Leave it all behind

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
That’d be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won’t you fly with me

Oh yeah
Gotta fly with me now

Now the past
Has come alive
And given meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
That’d be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won’t you fly with me

Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From the place where you needed to be
And that’s right here with me

If it’s you and me forever
You and me right now
I’d be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won’t you fly with me

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
I’d be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won’t you fly
Fly
Fly
With me

Poison Ivy

I just got back from the doctor
He told me that I had a problem
But I realized it’s you

I try to scratch away the issue
All I ever get is tissues
So I can wipe away my tears
Yeah

Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy
Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy
Everybody gets the itch
Everybody hates that
Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy

And now I found out you were lying
When you told me you were trying
Just to medicate the rash

Tangled vines they are deceiving
From the lines that now are leading
To the truth I need to hear

Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy
Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy
Everybody gets the itch
Everybody hates that
Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy
Yow
Yeah

I breakout and I start to shake
When I hear your name
I can’t walk away
(I just can’t do it…)

I can’t stop, even if I try
I lay down my pride
I can’t walk away

I get burned and I have to learn
That the court’s adjourned
I can’t walk away
Yeah

Tried lines and tangled vines and
Where the trying times
I can’t walk away

Poison
Poison
Poison ivy

Everyone’s allergic to poison ivy

Everybody needs a little poison ivy
Everybody wants a little poison ivy
Everybody gets the itch
Everybody hates that

Before the Storm (featuring Miley Cyrus)

Nick:
Yeah, eh, eh

Miley
Ohhh
I know this isn’t what I wanted,
I never thought it’d come this far,
Just thinking back to where we started,
And how we lost all that we are.

Nick:
We were young and times were easy.
But I could see it’s not the same.
I’m standing here but you don’t see me,
I’d give it all for that to change.
And I don’t want to lose her,
Don’t wanna let her go.

Miley:
Standin’ out in the rain,
Need to know if it’s over,
‘Cuz I would leave you alone.

Nick:
I’m flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I’ll never hold her

Both:
Like I did
Before the storm
(Yeah, before the storm)

Nick:
With every strike of lightning,

Miley:
Comes a memory that lasts.

Both:
And not a word is left unspoken,
As the thunder starts to crash.

Miley:
Maybe I
Should give up.

Standin’ out in the rain,
Need to know if it’s over,
‘Cuz I would leave you alone.

Nick:
I’m flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I’ll never hold her
Like I did
Before the storm

Miley:
Trying to keep
The lights from going out

Both:
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart.
They always say,
A heart is not a home
Without the one who gets you through the storm.

Both:
Standin’ out in the rain,
Knowin’ that it’s really over.
Please don’t leave me alone.

I’m flooded with all this pain,
Knowing I’ll never hold ya,
Like I did,
Before the storm.
(Yeah, the storm)

Like I did
Before the storm.

What Did I Do to Your Heart

Baby girl, I’m just a bit confused
You’ve been acting’ like you’ve been abused
By me lately
What’s goin’ on?

All I do is treat you with respect
All the best and never nothin’ less
You continue
To cry
And I just don’t
Know why

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it
Apart?

Your heart?
What did I do to your heart?

Your heart?

All I ever get is attitude
Constant never-ending bad mood
From you, baby
What’s goin’ on?

All I need is just an answer, please
So I can show you what you mean to me
But you continue
To cry
And I just don’t
Know why

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it
Apart?

Your heart?
What did I do to your heart?

Much Better

I get a rep for breakin’ hearts
Now I’m done with superstars
And all the tears on her guitar
I’m not bitter
Now I see everything I’d ever need
Is the girl in front of me
She’s much better

You…
I wanna fly with
You…
Tear up the sky with
You…
You’re much better
You…
I wanna fight with
You…
Make up tonight with
You…
You’re much better

Now I’ve got some enemies
And they’re all friends suddenly
BFF’s eternally
But I’m not bitter
I believe that the road that people lead
Helps you find the one you need
You’re much better

You…
I wanna fly with
You…
Tear up the sky with
You…
You’re much better
(You’re much better girl)
You…
I wanna fight with
You…
Make up tonight with
You…
You’re much better
Oooh
Yeah

You…
I wanna fly with
You…
Tear up the sky with you
You…
Oh, you’re much better
You…
I wanna fight with you
You…
Make up tonight with you
You…
Oh, you’re much better
You’re much better, girl
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You…
Yaaaaw!
You…
I wanna fight with you
You…
Oh
You’re much better
You’re much better, girl, oh
You…
You…
You…
You’re much better
You…
You…
You…
You’re much better…

Black Keys

She walks away
Colors fade to gray
Every precious moment’s now a waste

She hits the gas
Hoping it would pass
But the red light starts to flash
It’s time to wait

And the black keys
Never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow
Never seemed so dull
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Showing me a world I never knew, no
A world I never knew

She hates the sun
‘Cause it proves she’s not alone
And the world doesn’t revolve around her soul
No, ooh
She loves the sky
‘Cause it validates her pride
Never lets her know when she is wrong

And the black keys
Never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow
Never seemed so dull
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Showing me a world I never knew, no

Yeah
When the walls start closing in
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t. Let. Them. Inside.

‘Cause the black keys
Never looked so beautiful
And the perfect rainbow
Never seemed so dull, oh, oh
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Showing me a world I never knew

Don’t let ‘em get
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
No
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let them get
Oh
Inside of your head

Sometimes a fight
Is better
Black and white

Don’t Charge Me for the Crime (featuring Common)

*Police talk*

This is life in this world
Some things go right, some things go wrong
It’s just how the world can be
People just wanna be free
Yeah…

The verdict came in and it said I was guilty
I looked at the judge, “Hey, America built me”
Tried to get rich, but they label me filthy
Only God can judge me, touch me, feel me…

My friend calls me at nine o’clock
Says, “Get the car, it’s time to rock.”
Never heard him speak this way
(Way, way)

Let’s go man

I grab the keys and hit the road
It’s all a flash, but who would know
How this story would unfold
Don’t charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time
Don’t charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don’t charge me for the crime

My friend gets in the car with bags
Filled to the top with loads of cash
(See this paper right here?)
And throws his pistol on the dash
(Yeah, it’s time to get money now)

Says, “I’m sorry for the crime
That I’ve involved you in this time,
You’re the only friend I’ve got”
So don’t charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time
Don’t charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Don’t charge me for the crime

I start to freak and scream so loud
Just like the females in the crowd
That’s when he gets in my head
(Head, head)

(Come on man, we gotta do this)

You could live just like a king
With everything you’d ever need
All the dreams of every man
Don’t charge me for the crime

Wrong place, wrong time
Don’t charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time, you know
Don’t charge me

Sirens sound and
My heart was poundin’
I looked at my man as the cops surround him
A teen on the scene with no objective
The American dream can be so deceptive

Now I see the flashing lights
There goes my future and my life
Now I’ve gotta do what’s right
(Right, right)

(Oh, man, they’ve got us, they’ve got us)

I stop the car and throw the keys
Out of the window, sets me free
I throw the pistol in the back
(Back, back)

(Ah, ah, ah)

I throw him out of the car, I say,
“You know me well,
I’m not goin’ to jail
I’m not paying your bail
Believe me when I say…
They won’t charge me for the crime”

Wrong place, wrong time (yeah)
Don’t charge me for the crime
Wrong place, wrong time
Won’t charge me! Ohh

Wrong place,
Wrong time
Wrong place,
Wrong time

They won’t charge me for the…
Crime

Turn Right

Pick up all your tears
Throw ‘em in your back seat
Leave without a second glance
Somehow I’m to blame
For this never-ending racetrack you call life

So turn right
Into my arms
Turn right
You won’t be alone
You might
Fall of this track sometimes
Hope to see on the finish line

You’re driving all your friends out
You just be, you cannot follow
Soon you will be on your own
Somehow I’m to blame
For this never-ending racetrack you call life

So turn right
(Turn right)
Into my arms
Turn right
(Turn right)
You won’t be alone
You might
(You might)
Fall of this tracks sometimes
Hope to see you at the finish line

I did all I could
And I gave everything
But you had to go your way
And that road was not for me

So turn right
Into my arms
Turn right
You won’t be alone
You might
(You might)
Fall of this track sometimes
Hope to see you at the finish line

Don’t Speak

(Whoa)

I thought
I was cool
But I just
Looked a fool for so long
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Yeah…

Don’t speak
To me
Don’t speak
To me

I recall
All the fights
Most of all
All the times you would lie
In my arms
Now you’re gone
You’re gone, yeah

Don’t speak
To me
Don’t be
My Aim

There’s a lot that you don’t notice
When you read between the lines
The future’s out of focus,
When you’re blinded by the light.
It’s a hope for all the hopeless
In the worst of trying times
I resort to being speechless
‘Cause our love won’t survive
Yeah, our love won’t survive

Don’t speak a word…

Don’t speak
To me
Don’t speak
To me

There’s a lot that you don’t notice
When you read between the lines
The future’s out of focus,
When you’re blinded by the light.
It’s a hope for all the hopeless
(Hope for all the hopeless)
In the worst of trying times
(Worst of trying times)
I resort to being speechless
‘Cause our love won’t survive

Bonus låt

Keep It Real

(Ohhhhh… yeah)

You dream of a day,
When the songs that you play,
Are blasting through the speakers in your car,
And it comes in a flash,
And you hear the crowd,
Screaming out your name for the encore

Living life,
Life in the fast line,
Not that bad,
No, we can’t complain,
Who’s to say,
That we won’t keep it real,
Hold on tight,
Don’t you dare let go,
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know,
You can shine bright but still keep it real

Who could know
That you’d be on the road,
Selling out the tickets to your show,
And when you’re home,
You’re still the one,
You were before you left to go on tour

Living life,
Life in the fast line,
Not that bad,
No, we can’t complain,
Who’s to say,
That we won’t keep it real, yeah
Hold on tight,
Don’t you dare let go,
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know,
You can shine bright but still keep it real

Did you ever think your dreams,
(Could become a reality, whoa, oh)
And all you did was just believe

Living life,
Life in the fast line,
Not that bad,
No, we can’t complain,
Who’s to say,
That we won’t keep it real,
Yeah

Living life,
Life in the fast line,
Not that bad,
No, we can’t complain,
Who’s to say,
That we won’t keep it real,
Hold on tight,
Don’t you dare let go,
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know,
You can shine bright but still keep it real
