A roll of the dice
A slip of the tongue
I was stirring up the hornets' nest
and finally got me stung
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
Said I'd do the right thing
But the wrong was done
It's over, excuse my grammar
But the fat lady sung
whoa oh whoa oh

And I wish I was Michael J Fox
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Hello McFly)
When I cleaned up my act

Yeah I don't know
What went through my head
Was my conscience shot?
Was it left for dead?

I said I'm sorry
But no one heard
'cause actions (actions) actions
Actions speak louder than words

I think I made God angry
and I'm sure that he's irate
I just hope my remorse was not too little too late
whoa oh whoa oh

Even my track record
He gave me a clean slate
I'm forgiven and I'm livin'
With no sin on my plate
whoa oh whoa oh

And I wish I was Michael J Fox
I'd visit the past
Then come back to the future (Hello McFly)
When I cleaned up my act

Yeah I don't know
What went through my head
Was my conscience shot?
Was it left for dead?

I said I'm sorry
But no one heard
'cause actions (actions) actions
Actions speak louder than words

Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her. 
Go up to her and say you're a believer. 
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile. 
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.

Because... Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend. 
Satan consumed her mind, and he may do it again. 
Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend. 
She once believed in the truth, now she believes in sin.

She denies God when she has the chance to live for him. 
The thought of it makes me cringe. 
Her future looks dim. 
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple. 
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people.

"It's 3p.m." she said, I said "You're crazy" 
She said "get out of bed, why are you so lazy? Why waste the day away?" 
I said, "Because I'm tired"
"Wendy's called by the way, they told me that you're fired." 

Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh 
So reckless for all these years 
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh 
I crash into a wall 
Whoa oh oh , Whoa oh oh 
there's a ringing in my ears 
Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh 
and it's my wake up call 
Jesus gave me a wake up call 
oh take this world with a grain of salt 
Jesus gave me a wake up call 

"It's 3 a.m." she said, "Who are you, Matchbox 20?" 
She said, "Are you getting rest?" Sarcastic, I said "Plenty"
 "Don't be a hypocrite." I asked "What are you saying?" 
When you praise God, do you meant it? 
Are you sleeping when you're praying? 

Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh 
So reckless for all these years 
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh 
I crash into a wall 
Whoa oh oh , Whoa oh oh 
there's a ringing in my ears 
Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh 
and it's my wake up call 
Jesus gave me a wake up call 
oh take this world with a grain of salt 
Jesus gave me a wake up call 

Like a child having nightmares
I will run into your arms
I'll give you all of my cares and
This world will do me no more harm 

When you're around
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
To let you know just what I'm thinking 

I want to stay longer.
I made you a place within my heart
With you I'm so much stronger
That's why I'm glad we'll never have to part

Where am I!? Where are you?
There's so much time so little to do
We're busy doing nothing cause it's vanity we prize.
You can't see nothing cause you can't see through your eyes.
They're covered with a film, you're blinded by yourself.
You're the one to blame but you pretend it's someone else. 

Life could you be a little softer to me.
Life could you be a more gentle to me.
Yeah I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed his flesh
On the cross for me
But this world is hard,
It's cruel and I wish it could be...
Softer to me 

I'm still alive. That much is true
I've never lied, well, I guess I've told a few.
There's nothing to see because I brought nothing to show.
The conversation got too deep, I shrug and tell you I' don't know.
This life can get so hard, this world can be so cruel,
Sometimes I fall apart I feel just like a useless tool.

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.

Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.

Charles, I love you,
Love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
And on your show.

Cause it hasn't been that long
since you almost hit the tree.
Cause it hasn't been that long
since you hit the pole because of speed.

Do you remember
the ambulance it took you there?
Do you remember
they cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head.
Where's all your hair.

The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"Another foot you could be dead."
The doctor said,
"We need some staples for his head."
The doctor said,
"You should have took the bus instead."

All you could hear
was kachunk, kachunk, kachunk.
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk.


He could have died that day.
Which means that he would not be here.
He would have gone away,
friends and family we'd shed our tears.
But the good thing would be
is that we would always know.
He would be living
with Jesus Christ in his new home.

Talked to my sister late last night
And she gave me some advice
And what she said was right
Talked to my sister late last night
I said "I've got her on my mind"
She said "That's good, I know my kind"

Chorus:
And maybe this time, maybe she's just the one you need
Keep taking your time, you shouldn't go for her full speed
And maybe this time, maybe she's just the one you need
Cuz I know that I've never seen
Your motives more squeeky clean
My 17 magazine tells me that you're in love

Jessica told me that I should take a quiz
10 yes or no questions to tell me what love really is
I searched for my answers, I lied and said I liked NSYNC
They said my middle name's "Don Juan" and I'm sure of myself I think

Chorus

And maybe this time, maybe she's just the one you need
Keep taking your time, you shouldn't go for her full speed
And maybe this time, maybe she's just the one you need
Cuz I say if you're asking me
Love is sacred, love is sweet
My 17 magazine tells me that you're in love
My 17 magazine
My 17 magazine
My 17 magazine tells me that you're in love

There were times in my life when I was confused.
There were things between me and God that were blocking my view.
So I prayed, "Oh dear Lord, take these things away so I can see."
He answered my prayer and at the sight of Him I fell to my knees.

And until I went onto that fateful trip.
I thought I was on a sinking ship.

Until, I went on a balloon ride
(I could see everything from up there).
 I went on a balloon ride And now everything seems clear.

I strive towards infinity.
Though sometimes I don't know what to do.
When other people laugh at me, all I do is look towards You.

Well on my through this life yet something was gone.
 I looked round and round and then I found I needed some one.
So I prayed, "Oh dear Lord, fill me up and make me whole.
Present in my life Jesus Christ, save my soul."

It smells so sweet outside today.
The sun smiles down, I'm in the shade.
I sit and think about all my friends and how good they are.
But when today is yesteray, I know that things won't stay the same.
But I know that the memories won't go too far.

Chorus:
Round and round the world will turn.
Lessons taught and lessons learned.
Jesus gets us through the good and bad times.
And lets us know that everything will be just.. fine.
Everything will be just.. fine
Everything is gonna be.. fine
Everything will be just.. fine

A year's passed since I wrote this song.
A lot's gone right a lot's gone wrong.
But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side.
And I see the sun still shines.
It shines outside and in my life,
And I know that everything is gonna be just fine.

Chorus (2x)

I got this thing for Nancy Drew
Her hair is blonde her eyes are blue
Yeah, I think I'm falling in love
I wish she'd say she'd marry me
And why she won't is a mystery
Yeah, I know it's me she thinks of

Chorus:
Nancy Drew
I love you
Yes I do

One time these criminals with their guns
They thought it would be fun
To try and kill my Nancy Drew
I jumped out and saved her life
Then asked her to be my wife
She said, " No, I'll never marry you!"

Chorus (2x)

It's a really big mystery
I'll put the Hardy Boys on the case
Cause no time in history
Has someone denied my face
Has someone denied my face

Chorus (2x)

And I'll be true to you my Nancy Drew

Is it just a car or is it so much more?
It's a superstar with the gas to the floor
Zero to sixty in remarkable time
Its the automobile that's the top of the line

Chorus:
Yeah, we got a k car
On the road of life
And we're gonna get far
If the driver is Christ

Is it just a car or is it so much more?
It's a superstar with the gas to the floor
In a drag race all the others fall
And Brandon Ebel just gave us a call
