"Let's nuke the bridge we've torched 2,000 times before. / This time we'll blast it all to hell!"

"Do you ever think back/ To another time?/ Does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?/ Do you ever wanna lead a long trail of destruction/ And mow down and bullshit that confronts you?/ Do you ever build up all the small things in your head/ To make one problem that adds up to/ Nothing/ To me it's nothing""

"I hold my breath and close my eyes and... / (Dream about her) / 'Cause she's 2000 light years away..."

"Well I toss and turn all night thinking of your ways of affection/ But to find that it's not different at all/ So I throw away my past mistakes and contemplate my future/ That's when I say/ What the hey!/ Would it last forever?/ You and I together hand in hand we run away/ Far away!"

"Then again it seems much more than that but i'm not sure exactly what you're thinking"

"I do not mind if all I am is just a friend to you, but all I want to know right now is if you think about me too."

"Cold/Dry/Stone"

"Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts" - This was written on Mike Inez's bass during the band's set on Unplugged. It was in reference to the members of Metallica, who were sitting in the audience. Metallica had recently gotten haircuts to coincide with the release of their album Load and many saw this as the band "selling out."
