Understatement
I'm sick of smiling and so is my jaw. Can't
you see my front is crumbling down? I'm sick of being someone I'm
not. Please get me out of this slump. I'm sick of clapping
when I know I can do it better for myself. I'm sick of waiting.
Sick of all these words that will never matter. I wire all these
nerves together hoping for a chance to think on time. And I'm tracing
over your letter to see if your intentions are as good as mine. But
you're getting worse (Ah ah). I swear it. It's hard to prove
you're an understatement. You're getting worse (Ah ah) and I know
that you'll be calling... calling... calling me again. I'm done with
everything that had to do with you. Don't worry you pictures are
already burned. I'm done with new friends. Don't sell yourself
short. You'll lose it in the end. I wire all these nerves together
hoping for a chance to think on time. And I'm tracing over your letter
to see if your intentions are as good as mine. But you're getting
worse (Ah ah). I swear it. It's hard to prove you're an understatement.
You're getting worse (Ah ah) and I know that you'll be calling... calling...
calling me again. Go. I can't help how I feel. No, I
can't help how I feel. (But you're...) You're getting worse.
I swear it. It's hard to prove you're an understatement. You're
getting worse and I know that you'll be calling... calling... calling me
again... calling me again... calling me again. But you're getting
worse (Ah ah). I swear it. It's hard to prove you're an understatement.
You're getting worse (Ah ah) and I know that you'll be calling... calling...
calling me again.
My Friends Over You
I'm drunk off your kiss for another night in a
row. This is becoming too routine for me, but I didn't mean to lead
you on. And it's all right to pretend that we still talk. It's
just for show, isn't it? It's my fault that it fell apart.
Just maybe... you need this. And I didn't mean to lead you on.
You were everything I wanted, but I just can't finish what I've started.
There's no room left here on my back. It was damaged long ago.
Though you swear that you are true I still pick my friends over you...
my friends over you. Please tell me everything, that you think that
I should know about all the plans you made when I was nowhere to be found.
And it's all right to forget that we still talk. It's just for fun,
isn't it? It's my fault that it fell apart. Just maybe (Maybe...)
you need this (you need this). And I didn't (And I didn't) mean to
lead you on. You were everything I wanted, but I just can't finish
what I've started. There's no room left here on my back. It
was damaged long ago. Though you swear that you are true I still
pick my friends over you... my friends over you. Just maybe you need
this. You need thisÖ And I didn't mean to lead you on.
You were everything I wanted, but I just can't finish what I've started.
There's no room left here on my back. It was damaged long ago.
Though you swear that you are true I still pick my friends over you...
were everything I wanted, but I just can't finish what I've started.
There's no room left here on my back. It was damaged long ago.
Though you swear that you are true I still pick my friends over you...
my friends over you.
Sonny
I'm sorry, I heard about the bad news today.
A crowd of people around you telling you it's okay and everything happens
for a reason. When you lose a part of your self to somebody you know,
it takes a lot to let go. Every breath that you remember. Pictures
fade away, but memory is forever. An empty chair at all the tables.
And I'll be seeing you when all my days boil down. But it's better
where you're going anyway. I'm sorry, I heard about the bad news
today. It's really hard to get through. Tough times and long
days, but it really just depends on the season. When you lose a part
of your self to somebody you know, it takes a lot to let go. Every
breath that you remember. Pictures fade away, but memory is forever.
An empty chair at all the tables. And I'll be seeing you when all
my days boil down. For now we'll say goodbye. We know it's
not the last time. I've lost the best part of my day. But it's
better where you're going anyway. An empty chair at all the tables.
And I'll be seeing you when all my days boil down. For now we'll
say goodbye. We know it's not the last time. I've lost the
best part of my day. This is the last thing I... I will remember.
It's better where you're going anyway.
Something I Call Personality
Let's go! Before you jump down my throat
I'd like to present you with something I call, 'personality'. Word
travels fast when you're on the road. I'd like to think what I have
is real. Sort this out on your own time. You ought to sort
this out on your own time. Hell yeah. Before you jump to conclusions
about all the friends I have, just remember they were born that way.
Word travels fast when her name's involved. I'd like to think what
I have is real. Sort this out on your own time. Go on and sort
this out (Sort this out) on your own time. Sort this out (Sort this
out) on your own time. Go on and sort this out (Sort this out) on
your own time. No matter how happy you are you'll always want more.
No matter how stupid I get you'll always want more. Sort this out
on your own time. Go on and sort this out (Sort this out) on your
own time. Sort this out on your own time. Go on and sort this
out (Sort this out) on your own time.
Head On Collision
I've been waiting for a good day. I've been
holding back long enough. I've been hurting to tell you some things.
It's not the falling of the temperature that's making all our bones run
cool. It's the breeze you make, the presence felt when you're around
me. And it feels like I'm at an all-time low. Slightly bruised
and broken from our head on collision. I've never seen this side
of you. Another tragic case of feeling bruised and broken from our
head on collision. I've never seen this side of you. Another
tragic case. And I'm still waiting for a good day. I think
I've held this long enough. I think it's safe to tell you some things.
It's not just what you say to people and it's not the way you look at me.
It's the way you present yourself for all your worst critics to see.
And it feels like I'm at an all-time low. Slightly bruised and broken
from our head on collision. I've never seen this side of you.
Another tragic case of feeling bruised and broken from our head on collision.
I've never seen this side of you. Another tragic case, then you were
gone. You were gone. All this time you just didn't know it
yet. You were gone. All this time you just didn't know it yet.
You were gone. And it feels like... feels like I'm at an all-time
low. Slightly bruised and broken from our head on collision.
I've never seen this side of you. Another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken from our head on collision. I've never seen this
side of you. Another tragic case... another tragic case of feeling
bruised and broken. Another tragic case and I've been still waiting
for a good day... still waiting for a good day.
It's Been A Summer
I'm cracked from my head down to my spine.
Ready to self-destruct at any time. And I'm trying to convince myself
that the way I feel is all I have. It could take a lifetime to realize
that you're alright. But she said, "I'd know when you would come
back." It's been a summer. It's burning up in here even thought
the bed is cold on your side. I'd rather die then spend this night
here without you. Now it's burning up in here even thought the bed
is cold on your side. I'd rather die then spend this night here without
you... without you. I would try to fix these flaws of mine if I could
just see you (if I could just see you) for one more time. And I'm
trying to convince myself that the way I feel is all I have. I don't
believe in sure things. There's pain in what the truth brings.
But she said, "I'd know when you would come back." It's been a summer.
It's burning up in here even thought the bed is cold on your side.
I'd rather die then spend this night here without you. Now it's burning
up in here even thought the bed is cold on your side. I'd rather
die then spend this night here without you... without you. I'd be
the first one to know if its smart for me to just let it go. I'll
be the laughing stock of all time. Person most likely to find deciding
if it's fate that made you avoid me to this day. "I'd know when you
would come back." It's been a summer. It's burning up in here
even thought the bed is cold on your side. I'd rather die then spend
this night here without you. Now it's burning up in here even thought
the bed is cold on your side. I'd rather die then spend this night
here without you... without you.
Forget My Name
Tell all my friends I'm dead. I'm leaving
you, this time its for good. Tell all my friends that I'm dead.
It won't be long before you forget my name. Can you tell that I'm
losing myself? I think I'm trying too hard to let it show, to let
you know. Don't trace your footsteps back to me. Cause I've
been gone for a long time, waiting on the sidelines, hoping for a chance
to play. Well I thought I would never leave anything behind.
I also never thought I'd say, "Tell all my friends I'm dead." I'm
leaving you, this time its for good. Tell all my friends that I'm
dead. It won't be long before you forget my name. Can you tell
that I don't know myself? I need someone to remind me to let it go.
Please let me know. Don't trace your footsteps back to me.
Cause I've been gone for a long time, waiting on the sidelines, hoping
for a chance to play. Well I thought I would never leave anything
behind. I also never thought I'd say, "Tell all my friends I'm dead."
I'm leaving you, this time its for good. Tell all my friends that
I'm dead. It won't be long before you forget my name. And if
I had the chance (had the chance) to do it all again, I wouldn't expect
anything less. And if I had a chance (had the chance) to do it all
again, I wouldn't expect... I wouldn't expect anything less. Tell
all my friends I'm dead. I'm leaving you, this time its for good.
Tell all my friends that I'm dead. It won't be long before you forget
my name... forget my name.
Never Give Up
Living with me, I don't think it would be so bad.
This is the first time this year that I'm not going to make you mad.
I'm tired of my conscious always telling me to stop slipping in.
But I can't waste a second on trains that will never begin. Everyone
has a head upon their shoulders. We're losing our pride as we all
get older (Ah ah ah). Everyone has to become their saviors.
You might not get it right or you might realize that its too late.
Don't back down. I'm over the past, can't you see? Don't back
down. I don't really care about before... before you met me.
Is it cool if I see you tonight? There's a thousand questions I want
to ask you, if you think that its alright? Everyone has a head upon
their shoulders. We're losing our pride as we all get older (Ah ah
ah). Everyone has to become their saviors. You might not get
it right or you might realize that its too late. Don't back down.
I'm over the past, can't you see? Don't back down. I don't
really care about before... before you met me. So don't take anything
for granted. Sit outside in the rain. An excuse you know I
planned it. Every ending... its all the same. Don't back down.
I'm over the past, can't you see? Don't back down. I don't
really care about before... before you met me.
The Great Houdini
All dressed up and nowhere to go. I think
I'm taking this trip alone. Thirty seconds till I pass the questions
you will never ask. Your regrets will haunt you. You know I
never had to, but I'm saving myself from you. And did you notice
anything? The change is me. Now it's safe to say you will never
change your ways. I went to your house but you weren't home.
I'm sure you conveniently shut off your phone. I don't think that
I'll ever be the person that you want of me. When all that I can
think about... it's you I have to figure out. But I'm saving myself
from you. And did you notice anything? The change is me.
Now it's safe to say you will never change your ways. You would give
up anything to prove your point. There's nothing left to say.
You will never change your ways. I'm saving myself from you.
Yeah, I'm saving myself from you. All dressed up and nowhere to go.
I think I'm taking this trip alone. Did you notice anything?
The change is me. Now it's safe to say you will never change your
ways. You would give up anything to prove your point. There's
nothing left to say. You will never change your ways.
Singled Out
I figured all the years we shared were proof enough
to extend my hand and help you. I know that getting started can be
rough. Enthused smile, you seemed grateful. I felt good about
myself... that's until the day you showed me you don't need anybody else.
Why'd you have to go and make me say these things about you? Why'd
you have to turn around after all that we've been through? I figured
all the memories were proof enough (proof enough), to maybe open your eyes
from the people you think hold your trust. Do you ever smile, and
find it shameful cause you don't know who you are? I am glad you
never told me... you needed anybody else. Why'd you have to go and
make me say these things about you? Why'd you have to turn around
after all that we've been through? What will you do when there's
no one to fall back on? I won't be there. I've learned my lesson.
What will you do when there's no friends to fall back on, because they've
all been stepped on? Why'd you have to go and make me say these things
about you? Why'd you have to turn around after all that we've been
through... after all that we've been through? Why'd you have to go
(Why'd you have to go)? Why'd you have to turn (Why'd you have to
turn) around after all that we've been through? What will you do
when there's no one to fall back on?
Belated
I've never felt so bad in my entire life, but this
time I did it to myself. What do you expect from me? I did
it, so what do you expect from me? Let go of my hand. Is it
time to go? I'm not ready to turn my back on you yet. I'm not
going to let you down... let you down. September came so quickly...
I wasn't prepared. I didn't mean to miss your birthday. What
do you expect from me? I did it, so what do you expect from me?
Why don't you let go of my hand? Is it time to go? I'm not
ready to turn my back on you yet. I'm not going to let you down.
Bridges will fall from under us, but we are strong. We'll (we'll)
get through this. The earth will open up (earth will open up) and
try to pull us in, but we'll (we'll) get through this... get through this.
So why don't you let go of my hand? Is it time to go? I'm not
ready to turn my back on you yet. I'm not going to let you down...
let you down. Let go of my hand (I'm not going to let you down).
Is it time to go (I'm not going to let you down)? I'm not ready to
turn my back on you yet. I'm not going to let you down... (I'm not
going to let you down) let you down.
The Story So Far
I can't remember the time or place, or what you
were wearing. It's unclear about how we met. All I know is
it was the best conversation that I've ever had. Until this day I've
never found someone with eyes as wide as yours. I've been searching
up and down this coast overlooking what I need the most. Did you
notice I was afraid? I thought I'd run out of things to say.
Two more hours until today burns this away... and it starts all over again.
The sky will never look the same again till you show me how it could be.
The sky will never look the same again till you show me how it could be.
And everything else is irrelevant to the story so far. A coincidence
that you looked like her from a far. Is it true that you like to
sleep alone, or is it what you just tell everyone? Did you notice
I was afraid? I thought I'd run out of things to say. Two more
hours until today burns this away... and it starts all over again.
The sky will never look the same again till you show me how it could be.
The sky will never look the same again till you show me how it could be
(Ah ah ah). Until you show me how it could be (Ah ah ah). Until
you show me how it could be. And when the world turns over I'll keep
my ears to the wall. And when the world turns over I'll keep my feet
straight on the ground. Did you notice I was afraid? I thought
I'd run out of things to say. Two more hours until today burns this
away... and it starts all over again. The sky will never look the
same again till you show me how it could be. The sky will never look
the same again till you show me how it could be (Ah ah ah). Until
you show me how it could be (Ah ah ah). Until you show me how it
could be.
