I'm on the brink, of something horrible
Just what it is I’m not to sure
But I can’t take it anymore

(Round one FIGHT)

I can’t explain the feeling that I feel,
I’m not even sure that they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tails
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
To make you hate me any way

Yeah I'm on the brink, I lost my self control
I didn’t think that this would happen to me anymore
Just want to be a babe for once

I can’t explain the feelings that I feel,
I’m not even sure if they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tails
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
To make you hate me any way

(You Lose)

    General Comment:duh it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that it isn't ryan key singing on this album. i agree with KillYourDoubts--there WAS a yellowcard before ryan. it was a little bit heavier, but it's just as good.

    General Comment:Sean never played guitar! That was Todd Clancy. This is probably my favorite song from the old Yellowcard days. It has a very nice tune.

    General Comment:Goodness... there WAS a Yellowcard before Ryan. It's not all about him, but don't get me wrong, I love Ryan to death. But honestly, it's not RyanCard, now is it? Ben Dobson was the singer on "Where We Stand" and "Midget Tossing." The only original members that are still in the band now are Ben, LP, and Sean, but Sean wasn't considered a member for the first alblum. He just helped out a bit. So please, before you're all like "oMgZz i LuV yCc!", stop. Just, stop. <_<

    General Comment:it is YC before ryan. Ben (not ben harper, different guy) use to be the singer back then. everything from One For The Kids and after is with ryan. John from AP knows what he's talking about. Disco Steve, the all caps in annoying and so is calling everyone clowns.
