Go On
04:30
|
|||
I told my friends I was going somewhere else but I went to your house
See they approve of you and me, but not like this
I prattle on about coffee and conversation
They know all about your book but not what you write on my lips
I didn't want you under my skin, but boy, you're a ninja
With those shoulders in your shirt and oh your limitless hands
This can't possibly end a single way but badly
I've got an ending in my head that I keep forgetting to plan
So go on
Rock my world without touching me
I'm losing my mind
You intellectually fuck me
Go on
Use your alignment against me
Put me right where you want
You absentmindedly get me
Go on
I see things in your eyes that you don't want to show me
You're so transparent when my teeth are on your jaw
This fear of being known must get you lonely, baby
So hide all you want and I'll figure you out in no time at all
I see you in every rendition of the Joker
Evil, sexy, dangerous, and poetically sad
I could be your Harley Quinn if you come a little closer
I don't dabble in the dark side, but you're enticingly bad
So go on
Rock my world without touching me
I'm losing my mind
You intellectually fuck me
Go on
Use your alignment against me
Put me right where you want
You absentmindedly get me
Go on
I told my friends I was going somewhere else but I went to your house
I'll see you again tomorrow and probably the day after that
This can't possibly end a single way but badly
I don't dabble in the dark side, but you're enticingly bad
Enticingly bad
Enticingly bad
Rock my world without touching me
I'm losing my mind
You intellectually fuck me
Go on
Use your alignment against me
Put me right where you want
You absentmindedly get me
Go on
Rock my world without touching me
I'm losing my mind
You intellectually fuck me
Go on
Use your alignment against me
Put me right where you want
You absentmindedly get me
Go on

Take What You Can Get
02:28
|

He was leaving tomorrow but we hit it off
In the classroom on Durham Street
He looked at me and he said, "You're cool
Despite the summer heat"
Chocolate milk and dirty jokes
Kept us close throughout the day
A guy like him doesn't need the shades
But he wore them anyway
I said, "Will I ever see you again?"
He said, "Girl, right now, you're my only friend"
I said, "That doesn't answer my question, babe"
And he said, "Take what you can get"
He said, "It's a shame that we don't have long
Next summer let's make some plans
How's this for a deal: I'll teach you violin
If you teach me how to dance"
He said, "We could call or text or write
When I leave, are you gonna forget?"
Keep speaking in Dutch and I'll keep in touch
If you know what I mean by that
He looked at me like he'd never seen
Anyone quite the same
A guy like him doesn't need the lines
But he used them anyway
I said, "Will I ever see you again?"
He said, "Girl, right now, you're my only friend"
I said, "That doesn't answer my question, babe"
And he said, "Take what you can get"
I said, "Will I ever see you again?"
He said, "Girl, right now, you're my only friend"
I said, "That doesn't answer my question, babe"
And he said, "Take what you can get"

Already Whole
03:24
|
|||
I used to know a guy with rock and roll dealings
For riffs, I gave him respect
I worked nine to five protecting his feelings
And never got one check
Well he spent each night repeating his reasons
Why I should throw my life away
I got so bored, I just had to leave him
And I found somebody new the very next day
Now I know
I've got it under control
There's just no time anymore to save nobody's soul
I've gotta find someone who's already whole
People tell me all the time that I'd better be careful
'Cause I'm doing what they're too afraid to do
The risk, the uncertainty, the slim chance of failure
And man, I've got 'em shakin' in their shoes
I used to think spontaneity was something on the schedule
But, what do you know, that's not how it works
My profession of choice is so unprofessional
At least, that's what I've heard
So it goes
I keep it under control
There's just no time anymore to save nobody's soul
I've gotta find someone who's already whole
Oh, so it goes
I keep it under control
There's just no time anymore to save nobody's soul
I've gotta find someone who's already whole, who's already whole
There's just no time anymore to save nobody's soul
I've gotta find someone who's already whole

Jumping Off A Train
03:30
|
|||
Last night I caught myself staring at your fingertips
I toss and turn, yeah, I can’t seem to fall asleep
I’m coming down with a bad case of emotions
And you’re tempting fate, standing so close to me
You told me to keep my hands to myself
But you know I don’t like to lose
I don’t prefer to write happy songs
But I guess I’ll do it for you
Because
Touching you is like Taylor Swift
Like prison breaks, like cigarettes
I love you like I always did
Like hurricanes, like jumping off a train
Tomorrow morning you’ll be back from where you’ve been
Deep in the woods where no one knows your name
You’re an honest southern boy; you love your manners and your church
But honey we both know that’s all a game
You told me to keep my hands to myself
But you know I don’t like to lose
I don’t prefer to write happy songs
But you know I’d do anything for you
Because
Touching you is like Taylor Swift
Like prison breaks, like cigarettes
I love you like I always did
Like hurricanes, like jumping off a train
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know, you know
You know that we’re all pros, but babe, you’re poetry
I feel like I could write you all my life
Nothing is forever but I’m fine with here and now
Because a-rolling with you makes me feel alright
You told me to keep my hands to myself
But you know I don’t like to lose
I don’t prefer to write happy songs
But I guess I’ll do it for you
Hoo!
Touching you is like Taylor Swift
Like prison breaks, like cigarettes
I love you like I always did
Like hurricanes, like jumping off a train
Touching you is like Taylor Swift
Like prison breaks, like cigarettes
I love you like I always did
Like hurricanes, like jumping off a train

Lift Me Up
03:37
|
|||
I don't know why I thought life was any less
I left home Wednesday evening for a place I'd never been
Completely unprepared, I must confess
I wandered into your posse's private room
Upscale wooden tables lined with talentless middle class
Glaringly upstaged by our vignette
So I sit there
With the car in "drive"
I don't have to hope because I already know
I'll be with you all evening and I'll go home alone
I'm always thinking twice
And then you come around
And show me you're so different, oh, you never bring me down
You lift me up
I don't know why I thought life was any less
We raise our pens just like a movie and cosmically coexist
I just can't get enough, I must confess
I love your glasses and your fancy shoes
You make me feel so beautiful and I do the same for you
So I sit there
With the car in drive
I don't have to hope because I already know
I'll be with you all evening and I'll go home alone
I'm always thinking twice
And then you come around
And show me you're so different, oh, you never bring me down
You lift me up
Every day
I watch you find yourself
Every day
You learn to trust your heart
I see the way
You make good in the world
You love the rain, you love the rain
You love the rain
I don't have to hope because I already know
I'll be with you all evening and I'll go home alone
I'm always thinking twice
And then you come around
And show me you're so different, oh, you never bring me down
You lift me up
You lift me up
You lift me up

Fairy Tale
04:21
|
|||
It's no surprise that we're the talk of the town
In the walk-in closet at Domino's house
My finger in your mouth at University Mall
Bottle it up or spit it all out
I talk to you and the time runs out
Those terrible words, I've been holding in too long
When it comes to you it's hard to plan
In the studio and I'm holding your hand
As a lover or a friend, I can't be sure
Well you taste like
Pizza crust and nice cologne
You're never free but you're always home
I love you so, I love you so
I think I'll always be your number two
But number one just cut you loose
So maybe I'll be moving up
You're a motherfucking fairy tale
You look so lame when you play guitar
With your rock and roll and your golden heart
I'll punch your face if I ever finish staring
Look at you with the world on a string
Have anyone, do anything
But somehow it's four AM and we're still talking
Well the last time we kissed was a year ago
At the house of some girl who you barely know
Fifteen and you looked like Abercrombie
Well you taste like
Pizza crust and nice cologne
You're never free but you're always home
I love you so, I love you so
I think I'll always be your number two
But number one just cut you loose
So maybe I'll be moving up
You're a motherfucking fairy tale
Complicated, talented, oh so good
Dominant, dynamite, I really wish you
Genuine, genius, and you look so fine
I don't know if you're stable or out of your mind
There's something overrated about things you've never had
I want you bad
Well you taste like
Pizza crust and nice cologne
You're never free but you're always home
I love you so, I love you so
I think I'll always be your number two
But number one just cut you loose
So maybe I'll be moving up
You're a motherfucking fairy tale
You're a motherfucking fairy tale

I Believe in You
03:17
|
|||
You're a prodigy, a mathematician
Playing AC/DC on the television
Told constantly that to be a musician
It's not enough to be the best there is
Well, society does the best it can
To crush your dreams so you never understand
All they want for you is what's in their plan
And they'll push you around until you listen to them
I don't believe in Santa Claus...
But I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in every breath, in every chord
In all of you
You don't need school, you don't need luck
It's not about timing or never giving up
All you have to do is decide to succeed
It's not rocket science, not a mystery
It's such a joke that you're still not sure
If you work just to survive, what are you living for?
Compromise is never how it has to be
If you don't want to be alone
You can come with me
I don't believe in Santa Claus...
But I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in every breath, in every chord
In all of you
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be so happy and go so far
Yeah, your mother has other plans
But I believe in you
But I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in every breath, in every chord
In all of you
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be so happy and go so far
Ooh, you handsome man
You shining soul
I believe in you

She Wants Me
01:26
|

Printed tights and pretty eyes
She's jailbait
Naughty, just a little nice
She's jailbait
Doesn't tell her mother but
She wants to be
A heavy metal superstar
And she wants me
Hard drugs, rock & roll
She's jailbait
Imagination's colorful
She's jailbait
Sneaking into swimming pools
So quietly
She doesn't care about the rules
But she wants me
Jagger, Curt, Billie Joe
She's jailbait
Backstage before the show
She's jailbait
Walked right up to me and said
You look good
Oh, she got inside my head
And she wants me
She wants me
She wants me
She wants me

Shaken
02:43
|
|||
I always think of you here, in the criminal crowd
Dripping with sweat, and the punk is so loud
Something about all the vertical walls
Makes me forget I shouldn't trust you at all
I always think of you here; when the melody plays
I can't help but think about that look on your face
When I said I'm not sure and the fear settled in
It makes me want to hold you 'till you never hurt again
Ha, ha, my Earth is shakin'
Counting the odds, lying awake, and
I write my word with new motivation
Your poet's tongue, your pretty face, and
With lips like yours, there's no need for masturbation
My Earth is shakin'
Ha ha, ah ah ah
I always think of you here, when I'm stuck in my head
Agonizing over what I shouldn't have said
Yeah, something about my metaphysical flaws
Made you believe you shouldn't trust me at all
Oh, I'll always care for you, dear, in the thick and the thin
Every cliche about wherever you've been
I put my head on your chest and talk to your soul
It's a stirring kind of comfort that makes me feel I'm home
Ha, ha, my Earth is shakin'
Counting the odds, lying awake, and
I write my word with new motivation
Your poet's tongue, your pretty face, and
With lips like yours, there's no need for masturbation
My Earth is shakin'
Ha ha, ah ah
Ah, ah, my Earth is shakin'
Counting the odds, lying awake, and
I write my word with new motivation
Your poet's tongue, your pretty face, and
With lips like yours, there's no need for masturbation
My Earth is shakin'
Ha ha, ah ah ah
Ha ha, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah

Nameless

Once upon a time
You were depressed and I was Prince Charming
Something made you cry
Seventeen and your wrath is alarming
People like you
Always think the world owes you happiness
But whatcha gonna do
When you realize no one's waiting around for you
You think that there's a cure
Some magic spell you set you on your feet
But baby look around
What you have is exactly what you see
You're the only one who can make you whole
It doesn't take a woman, no, it doesn't take a miracle
You're so persecuted all the time
You won't be satisfied 'til everyone's crying
You call me late at night
Drunk off your ass and you want some sympathy
I'm not you Mister Right
Just because I'm blonde and kinky, uh huh
You're such an open book
Hanging your head when you're not the only one
You're gonna be okay
Oh baby, you'll find your fairy tale someday
You're the only one who can make you whole
It doesn't take a woman, no, it doesn't take a miracle
You're so persecuted all the time
You won't be satisfied 'til everyone's crying
You're the only one who can make you whole
It doesn't take a woman, no, it doesn't take a miracle
You're so persecuted all the time
You won't be satisfied 'til everyone's
You're the only one who can make you whole
It doesn't take a woman, no, it doesn't take a miracle
You're so persecuted all the time
You won't be satisfied 'til everyone's crying

Song About A Boy
02:54
|

Who's this boy
Gonna level the room with his impossible eyes
I can't find my footing and I'm not sure why it's you
Who's this boy
What the hell do think you're trying to prove
Fucking me up with the way you move, uh huh
You're so frustrating I could hit a goddamn wall
Your dumb mind-reading always keeps me coming
Back for more, back for more
You floor me
Who's this boy
Tricked me into thinking I was in charge
Now you turn this shit around and now I'm the weak one
Oh, who's this boy
This is me, everyone's fool
All these songs based on nothing -- it's cool
Oh, you're so frustrating I could hit a goddamn wall
Your dumb mind-reading always keeps me coming
Back for more, back for more
You floor me
Who's this boy
Gonna level the room with his impossible eyes
I can't find my footing and I'm not sure why it's you
You're so frustrating I could hit a goddamn wall
Your dumb mind-reading always keeps me coming
Back for more, back for more
Back for more, back for more...
You said you like someone but I'm not sure
I know you want me coming back for more
You floor me

April or May a few years ago
I didn't know about bar art or rock & roll
I had never even held an electric guitar
You handed me yours and I guess I thought you would do
So we played the game until June or July
I looked at the floor while you looked in my eyes
You smelled my hair on summer nights
I told you things and you seemed to think they were true
You tried to get past my walls
I said, "I can't say I love you; I don't even know you at all"
Ooh, la di da di da
(La di da di da)
A year went by, I found rock & roll
I hadn't seen you since you met that girl
I thought I'd moved on from all this stuff
'Till that fateful week down at the charter school
Five-hour days in the same little room
Couldn't stop myself, just a-looking at you
It got under my skin and pretty soon
We were running around and your sweetheart never knew
You tend to come on strong
I said, "Don't tell me you love me; you don't even know me at all"
Ooh, la di da di da
(La di da di da)
Just last year I saw you again
You had grown into some kind of man
I fell in love like never before
Without ever laying a finger on your beautiful skin
I swear I felt so satisfied
I stared right back when you looked in my eyes
Didn't take a genius to realize
That because of you, I was the best I had ever been
I never thought it'd be true, oh
But nobody knows me, nobody loves me like you
Ooh, la di da di da
(La di da di da)
A half a dozen perfect months flew by
Then a couple more of sleepless nights
Stroking your hair and holding you tight
Comforting you over things you did to me
I found out things I would never have guessed
Should have known by the way you puffed out your chest
Held my face so tenderly
And said, "Baby, you're not good enough to succeed"
It was just a couple months ago
Oh, I know about bad art and rock & roll
After four years of cold, hard history
At last, our kingdom was getting ready to fall
I said, "We've been through so much, you and I
And heaven knows we tried and tried
But I'll never look at you the same again
And if you could, you'd smash my heart against a wall"
You said, "Don't let go just yet"
I said, "I can't say I love you; I don't even know you at all"

Petrifying
02:09
|

Late November
In my bedroom
I’d been tired
Of all the conflict
All I want is
Confrontation
All I get is
Shiny horseshit
Then your gloved hands
On my doorframe
Like a sly fox
In my pigsty
Climb in bed and
Run your fingers
Through my greasy hair and change my life
You look so petrifying
I want your stable on my sane
Ask me to run away and
I’ll never miss my maiden name
Promise I’ve handled it then
Step back and realize what I’ve done
But I’m never looking back no
I don’t need anyone but you
Anyone but you
New Year’s Eve now
In a guest room
Been a long time
Since I’ve held you
Feeling cold here
In Miami
Baby grand and I’ll
Be your baby
I don’t give a damn
‘Bout this city
Or any place where
You’re not with me
You look so petrifying
I want your stable on my sane
Ask me to run away and
I’ll never miss my maiden name
Promise I’ve handled it then
Step back and realize what I’ve done
But I’m never looking back no
I don’t need anyone but you
Promise I’ve handled it then
Step back and realize what I’ve done
But I’m never looking back no
I don’t need anyone but you
Oh, you’re petrifying
I want your stable on my sane
Ask me to run away and
I’ll never miss my maiden name
Promise I’ve handled it then
Step back and realize what I’ve done
But I’m never looking back no
I don’t need anyone
You look so petrif

Clean underwear is your idea of romance
You shun my money then use my bed, drop your sweatpants on my floor (oh whoa-oh)
I didn't shower 'cause I know you won't be giving head
So you can love me, hate me, on any given day
Tell all your friends I'm bad at what I do (ah ha ha)
And do your best to crush my dreams, babe; I won't be mad at you
When I'm selling out clubs, I'll put your name on the list
'Cause I'm above your level, I'm above all this
Gentle lies from your poison lips
But I was told not to listen to (ah ha) bullshit
I won't believe all the things you said
"You're bad at singing, you're bad in bed..."
And I won't reassign the blame like you always do
'Cause I'm better than that and I'm better than you
Found a lover who has poetry in his footprints
He doesn't taste like you with your unbrushed teeth, yeah, you never knew how to be in love
I knew there had to be something more than this
Now I hate, I hate to utter your name
It reminds me what you put me through (oh, boo hoo)
But I know you're getting what you deserve, yeah, nobody loves you
But when I'm selling out clubs, I'll put your name on the list
'Cause I'm above your level, I'm above all this
Gentle lies from your poison lips
But I was told not to listen to (ah ha) bullshit
I won't believe all the things you said
"You're bad at singing, you're bad in bed..."
And I won't reassign the blame like you always do
'Cause I'm better than that and I'm better than you
When I'm selling out clubs, I'll put your name on the list
'Cause I'm above your level, I'm above all this
Gentle lies from your poison lips
But I was told not to listen to (ah ha) bullshit
I won't believe all the things you said
"You're bad at singing, you're bad in bed..."
And I won't reassign the blame like you always do
'Cause I'm better than that and I'm better than you
When I'm selling out clubs, I'll put your name on the list

I'm better than that and I'm better than you

Movement
04:18
|

This church is such a perfect place to see him again
Watch him on his pedestal; I like to pretend
I see his every movement from a hundred feet away
I want him to drive with me
On the highway
He knows just what he's after, got his life all planned
He's gonna go to school and be a working man
This boy could break a boulder with his naked hands
I want him to remember me
While he's dancing
Carve your name in blood all across my face
Lock me in your prison where I can't escape
Fill my heart with torture, fill my mouth with lies
I adore you
I asked him how he's doing and he said he's been fine
He didn't ask a question, he didn't bat an eye
I see his every movement as he talks to other girls
Good god, I want him to give me his
Attention
I lose all my potential, oh, the moment he arrives
He's on another level and I'll never be surprised
I pity every woman who has to gaze into his eyes
And watch him as he graciously loves
Another
Carve your name in blood all across my face
Lock me in your prison where I can't escape
Fill my heart with torture, fill my mouth with lies
I adore you
Fill my heart with torture, fill my mouth with lies
Fill me to the brim with anything you like
Let me see what's under that perfect disguise
Fill me to the brim with anything you like

Matchbook (Too Soon)
02:45
|

All the love potions in the world wouldn't make you right for me
All the stadium shows in the country and you still wouldn't notice me
I've changed the lives of everyone
But I can't put a scratch on you
And I swear, I've tried everything
But I can't seem to get to you
One day I'll light the match that you gave me
I'll finally be through with you, mm mm
And one day I'll find a way to forget you
But today is just too soon, mm mm
Someday I'll probably blink and you'll be gone from me
But you're somewhere deeper than songs can touch you or shelter me
You're as flawed a boy as anyone
But I can't get enough of you
And I swear, I've never loved anyone
As much as I love you
One day I'll light the match that you gave me
I'll finally be through with you, mm mm
And one day I'll find a way to forget you
But today is just too soon, mm mm
One day I'll light the match that you gave me
I'll finally be through with you, ooh
And one day I'll find a way to forget you
But today is just too soon, ooh ooh
Today is just too soon, mm mm
Today is just too....

Sing 'Em With Me
03:03
|
|||
Around the table last June
Nobody notices while
Oh so sly you melt the room
They eat your leftovers like fuzzy rats
The Pied Piper of the wishing class
They follow you
But it's a lonely place to be
A reputation and
A grand facade you have to keep
You look at life like it's a numbers game
Collect attention and you keep your name
It's what you want, you say
But I know what you need
You need a lover who loves you
You need a place where you're truly free
So when you're singing all your sorrows alone
Why don't you sing 'em with me
You have an elegant way
Of stroking egos until
Everybody's doing what you say
Got you a wife, got you a hundred grand
A pretty house up on some pretty land
It's quite enough, you say
But it's not what you need
You need a castle in Norway
You need a yard with a willow tree
And when you're lounging on your golden throne
Why don't you make me your queen
Nobody's asking you a single thing
They catch you happy and they clip your wings
It's for the best, they say
Your friends are laughing as the rumors grow
But oh, they'd hold their tongues if they knew what I know
I know, I know, I know
That I'm what you need
I can read you like tea leaves
I can kiss you like a summer breeze
So when you're singing all your sorrows alone
Oh baby sing 'em with me
Why don't you sing 'em with me
Why don't you sing 'em with
Me

I thought the car was dead but I guess I forgot to turn the key
The water’s stagnant in my head, I’m battling sanity
Jimmy quit his job and they replaced him in a day
We all stare at the clock and watch our chances tick away
I don’t really have a case, ‘cause I probably can’t treat you better
He protects your perfect porcelain face ‘cause if you blow on it, it shatters
You probably don’t even know my name, and I wouldn’t say I’m catching feelings, yeah
I’ve just got a taste for broken dreams, black lipstick, and shady dealings baby
I missed a day of class and the teacher fudged my attendance card
It’s got to have been a week since I set foot in my front yard
Legend has it fall is here but the high is eighty-five
My iPod isn’t charging and it’s getting too easy to stay alive
I don’t really have a case, ‘cause I probably can’t treat you better
Everyone in your band says if they blow on you you shatter
The worst ones always look the best, but I wouldn’t say I’m catching feelings, yeah
I’ve just got a taste for broken dreams, black lipstick and shady dealings, baby

Happy Mistake
02:35
|
|||
It's a bad situation in a number of ways
You've got a previous engagement that cannot be escaped
You take everyone you like and try to push them away
And you claim you're not afraid
I could lie with you all morning on the guest room duvet
Criticize your drink at a pretentious cafe
You need me on levels you can't possibly say
But I know it anyway
Oh god, I think I care about your mind and all its subtleties
Your eyes and what they say to me
You unabashed philosophy
Just take me to the place
Where I can sink my teeth right into you
And cover every inch of you
With knowledge of my faith
I think I care about this happy mistake
You're a hopeless romantic in a middle-class cage
You create the life you want without the burden of fate
Throw your head back and willfully reject the mundane
Oh lord, you see the little things
I could lie awake all evening just a-thinking of you
Of your dirty class and with it all the things we could do
You bring your twisted elegance wherever you go
Oh, mi dulce demonio
Oh god, I think I care about your mind and all its subtleties
Your eyes and what they say to me
You unabashed philosophy
Just take me to the place
Where I can sink my teeth right into you
And cover every inch of you
With knowledge of my faith
I think I care about this happy mistake
Oh god, I think I care about your mind and all its subtleties
Your eyes and what they say to me
You unabashed philosophy
Just take me to the place
Where I can sink my teeth right into you
And cover every inch of you
With knowledge of my faith
I think I care about this happy mistake
Oh my dearest darling happy mistake

(Just?) Adore Him
04:10
|
|||
He gives me religion
Grabs me by the pride and makes me listen
He plays the demon
Then he turns on all the lights and lets me see him
And he's a godsend
Heals me every day in every aspect
And, and, and
I'll go anywhere he leads me
Lights down low while I beg him not to leave
These bonds go deeper than you see
On his street and at his door
At his feet right on the floor
And just adore him
I haven't been sleeping
My flesh turns brown on the inside where the feelings seep in
Yeah never eating
When I'm heaving over the sink I know I need him
'Cause he's an island
He's Seattle in the spring, driving in the rain, abusing all the silence
Your preacher
Your preacher's been lying
No, heaven is the things he whispers while we're fucking
And, and, and
I'll go anywhere he leads me
Lights down low while I beg him not to leave
These bonds go deeper than you see
On his street and at his door
At his feet right on the floor
And just adore him
I'll go anywhere he leads me
Lights down low while I beg him not to leave
These bonds go deeper than you see
On his street and at his door
At his feet right on the floor
And just adore him, oh he shows me his religion
Abstract, antichrist, Agyar, just my type of Christian
Oh, oh
He's my religion

Scared of Your Shadow
05:28
|
|||
You've got a long life ahead of you
And you're gonna make it far
You'll go places you never dreamed of
You'll have everything you want, and more
At first, I thought you a child
Then I worshiped you, a god
Now I think I know who you really are
You can't lie to me, you can't hide anymore
You're scared of your shadow
You hide from your heart
You're so afraid of being known
That you're crashing, you're burning
You're gonna fall apart
Oh you're scared of your shadow
You hide from your heart
You're so afraid of being known
That you're crashing, you're burning
You're gonna fall apart
You've got all this potential
But you're looking through too much rain
You've built this twisted labyrinth
To shield yourself from pain
Oh, you've gotta let someone love you
Not everyone will break your heart
As hard as you try, you're not bulletproof
And I no longer believe you when you say you are
You're scared of your shadow
You hide from your heart
You're so afraid of being known
That you're crashing, you're burning
You're gonna fall apart
Oh you're scared of your shadow
You hide in the dark
You're so afraid of being known
Gotta get it together
Before you fall apart
You're gonna do amazing things, dear
I want you to know I care
But I've sifted through the lies you've told me
And I realize that without them there's nothing there
You're so young and so fragile
So gifted and so strong
You're the smartest thing I never knew
You controlled my mind for so long
You're scared of your shadow
You hide from your heart
You're so afraid of being known
That you're crashing, you're burning
You're gonna fall apart
Oh you're scared of your shadow
You hide from your heart
You're so afraid of being known
That you're crashing, you're burning
You're gonna fall apart

I Don't Love You
03:04

Ethan, I learned his story, young man in all his glorious pain
He practiced unhealthy ways of handling his many shades of rain
Well he turns me off when he talks about forever, babe, I've just about had enough
He's a nine point five but I'm not in the mood for sweet talk or a third grade play a love
You're talking like we're not just children, gonna lose your voice
You're holding on so I have to say it, you leave me no choice
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you
Tyler, a small town diamond, spends his youth on things he doesn't love
He's over me or he's good at hiding it; seems like it never even was
Well he turns me on when he talks about whatever but it's never gonna be enough
He's a nine point five but the stakes are too high, can't cash out on kings; I need a flush
I've acted like we're only children, never planned my attack
I've done a dozen foolish things but I'll never take them back
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you
You're talking like we're not just children
Talking like we're not just children
Talking like we're not just children
Gonna lose, you're gonna lose
You're talking like we're not just children
Talking like we're not just children
Talking like we're not just children
Gonna lose, you're gonna
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you
I don't love you

The Smiley Song
04:14
|

Talking about change on the 24th
Running from the mall to the grocery store
You waved at me
From a foot away
Playing incomplete songs on the second floor
Taking pictures with the men's room door
It feels to me
Like we're the kind that stays
I love you
More than vintage band shirts
More than chocolate ice cream
More than sushi rice
I love you
More than leather jackets
More than Duff McKagan
I love you more than life
We baked a terrible cake at 2am
Discussed whether or not that boy's my friend
I stayed out with you
Until the sun went down
Then we sat in your bed and reminisced
About the early days and who we miss
I'm so glad you're here
To dream with me
I love you
More than rain on weekends
More than Harry Potter
More than Christmas lights
I love you
More than long-stemmed roses
More than Alesana
I love you more than life
Well you know I've had the best of times
You'd better never leave my side
You're a part of me
That I could never lose
And whether or not forever's true
I'll sit it out and find out with you
I don't need no one
When I've got you
I love you
More than birthday weekends
More than late November
More than Halloween
I love you
More than vintage band shirts
More than chocolate ice cream
More than sushi rice
I love you
More than leather jackets
More than Duff McKagan
I love you more than life

Loving You
04:03
|
|||
This is the last song
I say again and again as I try to fall asleep
You've been lingering around here
And haunting my dreams
I try to escape you
But running from you is running from myself
You're more than addiction
You're a paradigm, not a fever dream
All I know is it's snowing outside
And all I want is you
Gotta let you go
Or at least I've gotta try
Because I can't live like this anymore
You cut me to the core
And I can't stop bleeding
I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I've gotta stop loving you
In my heart, you're a fairytale
In my head, you're a man who will never be for me
I've gone through the stages
But I'm still not free
All I know is I'll never be the same
With you running through my veins
Gotta let you go, gotta make this go away
Because I can't take this pain anymore
You cut me to the core
And I can't stop bleeding
I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I've gotta stop loving you
All I know is it's snowing outside
And all I want is you
You cut me to the core
And I can't stop bleeding
I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I've gotta stop loving you
No, I can't live like this anymore, gotta let you go, gotta close the door
But I'll never stop loving you
