The All-American Rejects Lyrics

Bragged to my friends for a little while
And I wished for another date
To sit with you dazin', I was in this state
Of tossing and turning, not knowing what to do
Just sitting and waiting for a call from you
I know that it's real and it's no surprise
I see that it's true, I look into your eyes
Oh, yes, she changed me and now I'm not the same
And I know now just how I have a world when she says my name
Now I see you every day
I go out of my way just to see your face and
School with you isn't the same
Sleepless nights and our jokes are lame
I am hoping and dreaming of another night like this
Restless and yearning for your sweet kiss
I know that it's real and it's no surprise
I know that it's true, I look into your eyes
Oh, yes, she change me and now I'm not the same
And I know now just how I have a world when she says me name
She changed me and now I'm not the same
And I know now just how I have a world when she says my name
Tossing and turning, not knowing what to do
Just sitting and waiting for a call from you
I know that it's true and it's no surprise
To see that it's real, I look into your eyes
Oh, yes, she changed me and now I'm not the same
And I know just how I have a world when she says my name
She changed me and now I'm not the same
And I know just how I have a world when she says my name

Went to bed with a smile
I went to bed happy thinking about you
Bragged to my friends for a little while
I couldn't help but tell my friends how great our date was
And I wished for another date
I really want to see you again
To sit with you dazin', I was in this state
I was so happy just being with you that I zoned out
Of tossing and turning, not knowing what to do
I can't stop thinking about you and I don't know how to act
Just sitting and waiting for a call from you
I'm anxiously waiting for you to reach out to me
I know that it's real and it's no surprise
I know my feelings for you are genuine and expected
I see that it's true, I look into your eyes
I can tell how much you mean to me when I gaze into your eyes
Oh, yes, she changed me and now I'm not the same
You have changed me for the better and I'm a different person
And I know now just how I have a world when she says my name
I realize how important you are to my life when you say my name
Now I see you every day
I look forward to seeing you daily
I go out of my way just to see your face
I make an effort to be around you as much as possible
School with you isn't the same
Going to school with you makes it much more enjoyable
Sleepless nights and our jokes are lame
I stay up all night thinking about you and our conversations
I am hoping and dreaming of another night like this
I dream and wish for another perfect night together
Restless and yearning for your sweet kiss
I crave and desire your affection
Tossing and turning, not knowing what to do
I can't get you out of my head and it's driving me crazy
To see that it's real, I look into your eyes
I understand the depth of our connection when I look at you
And I know just how I have a world when she says my name
I am fully aware of how much you mean to me when you say my name

This is so old but I still love it
@Rejects4life
Wow. I can't stop laughing! Tyson's voice was so different back then than it is now. Wow... Awesome musically, but...weird vocally? I don't know how else to put it. LOVE them, though. My fave band EVER!!!
@highgirlstar2000
Ah, old Tyson's voice is so kawaii <3 I love their new stuff as well. Funnily enough, my favourite album is Move Along which is just in between. Meh, whatever. They're still AAR, and they always will be to me. I'm always gonna love 'em. May I be struck by a flying ice cream truck if I'm lying.

They really aren't mainstream at all. None of their songs are what I would consider to fit in with the current genre on the radio, which is basically 90% dubstep or cheesy boy-bands like One Direction. They just matured; lyrically and mentally.
@macaryl95
One Direction makes radio of today look worse, and that's not saying much for them.
@enroserie
I love this song =)
@Zeruel14
This song is great. I like it
@angelicscars87
they were such punkrockers back then. i miss the old aar! ='( look what mainstream did to them now. =( just like taking back sunday, atreyu, fall out boy, my chemical romance, and a bunch of other bands that became mainstream. even atreyu's music became kinda pop-ish. like wth? lol. but nonetheless, they all will still be my all-time favorite bands. =)
