Lyrics

How many times can it escalate 
Till it elevates to a place I can’t breathe? 

———————

(Yeah, keep turning that chin

And you will see my face

As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch

O, he made my blood just burn
I flipped so far, I thought that I would not return)


But the last one I had who was getting my hopes up
I might’ve been a little fast to dismiss

——————

You have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don’t have my thorns now
But I feel them sprouting
They’ll grow right through if I don’t watch them
They’ll grow right through even if I watch them

———————

It was done after it was over

We were just two lovers crying on each other’s shoulders

————————————-

I am no good for you

I’m seeing ghosts in everything I do

————————————

Things I have loved, I’m allowed to keep

———————-

It’s always darkest before the dawn * :)

—————————

and how could I listen without wanting to be with them,

and how could I have thought that I was ever alone?

I feel like singing and drinking and stuff

and I don’t wanna care if I stumble or cry

Handle me like family and that’ll be enough,

to keep me from dying when I want to die.

————————————

The moment we forgot we were just good friends

i moved my arm her face went red again

one more bus home 

another silent weekend

————————————

All that lovin’ must’ve been lacking something

If I got bored trying to figure you out

You let me down

I don’t even like you anymore at all 

————————————-

And I kept touching my neck

To guide your eye to where I wanted you to kiss me

When we find some time alone

And then we can do anything we want

———————-

Look at me

I’m all the fishes in the sea

Give me what you’ve got in your mind

In the middle of the night

————————

Hunger hurts

And I want him so bad

Oh it kills

————————————————

I could liken you to a werewolf the way you left me for dead

But I admit that I provided a full moon

And I could liken you to a shark the way you bit off my head

But then again I was waving around a bleeding open wound

And you are such a super guy ’til the second you get a whiff of me

————————————

You didn’t see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watching someone else

————————————

Everything will crash into itself in good time 
Do you wanna beat your own heart,
Or leave it behind?
No one’s gonna wait for you 
So do it now, do it right now 
Don’t waste a minute on the darkness and the pity sitting in your mind
And do it right now, and do it right now 

——————————

I don’t know what we’re doing

I don’t know what we’ve done

But the fire is coming

So I think we should run 

—————-

Would you ever be my

Would you be my fucking boyfriend

Are you immature or is it that you’re unkind

To torture all the other girls

Yet you keep me by your side

Are you unsatisfied

You can’t make up your mind

When you can take me by the hand

I will close my eyes

———————
How could you string me along for so long 
For just over eleven months 
How could I be so stupid and sublime 
You know I think I had a hunch 
About this anyway 
About this whole thing 
About this girl 

———-

But I have a friend

With whom I like to spend anytime I can find with

——————

You’re singing with a broken string

Tell me what you really mean

Do you know what you want?

——————————-

I’d like to get more sleep

But my mind just keeps me up

I’d like to be able to write

But I can’t seem to find the words


I tried to talk to you

But you were looking through into the next room

There must have been something more interesting

You could break my heart

That was apparent from the start

———————————

I was waiting for a long, long time for you to feel the same.

Who are you to look at me like that?

Can you hear my heartbeat?

Please don’t stand so close to me.

——————————-*

She ain’t gonna be able to love you like I will,

She is a stranger,

You and I have history,

Or don’t you remember?

Sure, she’s got it all,

But, baby, is that really what you want?

Bless your soul, you’ve got your head in the clouds,

She made a fool out of you,

And, boy, she’s bringing you down,

She made your heart melt,

But she’s cold to the core

—————-
I would’ve meant it if I’d said it

But I didn’t think to say it at the time

And you never really said it with your mouth

And only one time with your eyes

And I am waiting patiently

And you are out with a woman at exhibits about people like me

And I don’t get it

And you would get it if you got it

‘Cause I know that you’re the type

Who gets it when they get it

——————-

Everybody thinks that girl’s so fine

Everybody’s like “I’ll make her mine.”

Everyone thinks she’s a bit of alright

But I think that she’s not so nice

Everyone thinks that girl’s a lady

But I don’t, I think that girl’s shady.

But I’ll just read a book instead

I don’t care if we’re just friends

I can hang out with myself

I’m old enough to pretend

I know that you think she’s first

I don’t even think she cares

I don’t know what you see

Well I think she’s a bitch

—————————

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can’t you see?

You belong with me

I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself

Hey isnt this easy?

And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town

I havent seen it in awhile since she brought you down

You say you’re fine

I know you better than that

Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find

That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time

I’m the one who makes you laugh

when you know you’re about to cry

I know your favorite songs

and you tell me about your dreams

I think I know where you belong.

I think I know it’s with me.

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me

————————————

Is it hard to comprehend that when she’s your friend she’s not nice to see.

Maybe you won’t get your heart broken too, 

Cause she’s changed.

Yeah she’s changed.

No I’m just joking she’s still the same! 

So why do you bother, I ask myself?

———————————-

You’re so nice and you’re so smart

You’re such a good friend I have to break your heart

I’ll tell you that I love you then I’ll tear your world apart 

Just pretend I didn’t tear your world apart

—————————————- x


the thing that beats 
beneath your breast, has been at rest 
but I try my best 
to see how close I can get to it 
because I get productive when I get upset

—————

Words, how little they mean, when you’re a little too late

————————————

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer

And I had it all

I had him right there where I wanted him

She came along, got him alone, and let’s hear the applause

She took him faster than you can say sabotage

——————————————
Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don’t touch
Out of focus eye to eye
Till the gravity is too much
And ill do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And i’d be smart to walk away but you’re quick sand

—————————————

I just like hanging out with you all the time

Stay

I’ve been loving you for quite some time 

————————————-

I guess you didn’t care, and I guess I liked that, 
And when I fell hard, you took a step back. 

And he’s long gone when he’s next to me.

He was long gone when he met me, 
And I realize the joke is on me. 

———————-
Don’t look for a friend when you only need a lover 
The dimples on your cheeks are evidence we’re getting stronger 

———————————————-

I cry and listen to Beyonce
Single ladies is my favourite song now.
And I think I’m gonna be fine
I’m gonna be good now
I’m gonna be everything I always wished I could now
I’m gonna be awesome
I’m gonna be sure
I’m gonna be everything you asked me for and more
————————————

Everything about you is paralyzing 

Your whisper could speak louder than my screaming

Your honesty makes me feel like I’m lying

And listening to you is much like dreaming 

————————-

When your lips part

And words fall out

They crawl across the floor

and follow me

———————-

you’re like vegan cheese! 
try as I might, you never melt for me 

———————-

It’s a happy new year
Here I am again
Writing in my car, and this time I can’t pretend that we are friends

We’re not friends
Friends don’t do the things we did
And the ones you’ve done since then makes think we’ve never been

When is this night gonna end?
Are you lying in her bed?
All these questions hit my head
Hey where’s the whiskey at again

—————————————

I would’ve meant it if I’d said it
But I didn’t think to say it at the time
And you never really said it with your mouth
And only one time with your eyes

And I am waiting patiently
And you are out with a woman at exhibits about people like me

I would’ve meant it if I’d said it
But I didn’t think to say it and I’m shy
So I hid inside my t-shirt
And I looked the other way when you walked by

----------------------
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state,
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gate and beware,
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand,
And I can't do it, 
Again.

-----------------------------
Everything says it's time to go
But the smell of your skin makes me stay
You are not mine to ask things of
But I ask you anyway, but I ask you anyway

Incredible love, you fill me
Incredible love, you spill me
Incredible love, you kill me
Incredible love, incredible love

You take it away but then you give it right back
Just take it away don't give it back
---------------------------------
Love, love love 
Is everywhere 
But not a drop for me to drink 
------------------------------------
You have had your fill of me
December baby
-----------------------------
Maybe I would've been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would've been something I'd be good at

-----------------------------
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundations
I know that I should let go, but I can't
---------------------------
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Should've known
-----------------------------------
You carry on as if I don't love you
----------------------------------
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gazed controlled
---------------------------------
If I was stronger then I would tell you no
If I was stronger then I would leave the show
And If I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am
And here we go again
----------------------------------
So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really thought you liked me
--------------------------------------------
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
Tell me what you want me to say
-----------------------------------
No, I won't stay put
You need me, man
I don't need you
-----------------------------
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
-----------------------
I am in love with a boy
Manufactured to destroy
So I will unravel my love
Like an old, red, woolen glove
---------------------
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
---------------------------
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness 
-------------------------------
He's said to be cool, but I'm already coolest
I said get real
Don't you know who you're dealing with?
------------------------
I can't believe that I still want you
After all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you, without you
-------------------------------------
I was the wrong damn girl in the wrong damn room
--------------------------------
You can take your double standard love and keep it.
------------------------------
You don't love me
Big fucking deal
I'll never tell you how I feel 
--------------------------------
Think you're funny, think you're smart
But you're not gonna break my heart
Yeah, you may be good looking but you're not a piece of art
Power and control
I'm gonna make you fall
----------------
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?
Lies
Don't wanna know
I can't let you go
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
--------------------
What's the point of saying you love me like a friend?
---------------------------------------
Nobody said it was easy, 
It's such a shame for us to part. 
Nobody said it was easy, 
No one ever said it would be this hard. 
Oh take me back to the start. 
-----------------------------------
So, darling, let go of her hand
You'll be to blame for playing this game
And learning that true love exists
------------------------------------
So here's to everything coming down to nothing
       
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
           
Where is this going?
         
Thought I knew for a minute but I don't anymore

————————————————-

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on

Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long
And if you ask me if I    love him

I'd lie
—————————

Why can’t you want me like the other boys do?

They stare at me whileI stare at you

——————————————

Remember all the things that you and I did first?

And now you’re doing them with her

———————————-

Take me to your best friend’s house

I loved you then and I love you now

—————————————

If you love me

Why’d you let me go?

———————————————

Love tears me up like a demon.
Opens the wounds and fills them with lead,
and I’m having some trouble just breathing.
If we werent such good friends I think that I’d hate you.

——————————————-

What I am to you

Is not what you mean to me

——————————————-*b

You carry on as if our time is through

You carry on as if I don’t love you

——————————————-

Just because there once was love

Don’t mean a thing

———————————————-

How come you never go there

How come I’m so alone there

—————————————————————

Oh, I’ll be the one who’ll break my heart

I’ll be the one to hold the gun

————————————————

What will I do if there’s someone there with you
Maybe someone you’ve always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone
It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you

——————————————-*g

Decisions to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot

I guess not

————————————————

Are you working up to something
But you give me almost nothing
Keep me hopeless
Would you ever be my
Would you be my fucking boyfriend

You keep me by your side

Are you unsatisfied
You can’t make up your mind
When you can take me by the hand

——————————

Goodbye my almost lover

—————————————

Hey boy, won’t you take me out tonight?

I’m not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn’t try

—————————-

I haven’t left here for days now
And I’m becoming amazed how
You’re quite affectionate in public
In fact, your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it’s moving forward
There’s just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally
Called me baby

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time

—————————————-

Kiss that girl and I will shrink up

And I will die

And I will think of 

1000 ways that I can hurt you

And you will never touch my hand

——————————

I must go on standing

You can’t break that which isn’t yours

————————————-

Come on Skinny love, just last the year

————————————-

I’ll just read a book instead

I don’t care if we’re just friends

I can hang out with myself

I’m old enough now to pretend

———————————————-

I’m sitting pretty and I don’t know why

I found somebody said he’d make me fly

Wrapped me up in ribbons then he left me to die

——————————————-

Set me free, why don’t cha babe
Get out my life, why don’t cha babe
‘Cause you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’ on
You don’t really need me
But you keep me hangin’ on

————————————

I must go on standing

You can’t break that which isn’t yours

————————————-

So I’ll take it down

I want to be found out
Everybody needs to be 
I’ll let you save me

—————————————-

Here we go again, I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me, I’m afraid you’re never satisfied
Here we go again, we’re sick like animals, we play pretend
You’re just a cannibal and I’m afraid I won’t get out alive
No, I won’t sleep tonight
 I want some more
what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

———————————————————-

But if you are a friend of any sort
Then play along and catch a cold
Ne me quitte pas, mon chere

———————————————-

She’ll break her own heart and you know she’ll break your heart too 
So darling, let go of her hand 

——————————————-

Where is this going?

Thought I knew for a minute

But I don’t anymore

————————————————-

And it’s been a long time since before I’ve been touched
Now I’m getting touched all the time
And it’s only a matter of whom
And it’s only a matter of when
An addiction to hands and feet-
There’s a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other sleep

—————————————————

I’m you’re lover and you’re my friend

And, oh, we’re both wrapped up in a complicated rhythm  

You’re my lover and I’m your friend

And, oh, we’re both wrapped up in a complicated rhythm  

———————————————

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?

————————————————-

And it’s only a matter of whom

And it’s only a matter of when

—————————————————————-

I’m freaking out that we’re running out of time 
But to do what? 
Should I stop and think of that? 
Is there something I could do to slow it down? 
Live in a day for once 
Instead of watch it screaming by 

—————————————

I have dreams of orca whales and owls

But I wake up in fear

That you will never be my dear

Will never be my dear,

dear friend

———————————————

But now here you are again
So let’s skip the “how you been”

And get down to the “more than friends” at last 

——————————————-


But I can’t spell it out for you,
No it’s never gonna be that simple
If you just realized what I just realized
Then we’d be perfect for each other 
And we’d never find another 
Just realize what I just realized
We’d never have to wonder if 
We missed out on each other now.
It’s not always the same
No it’s never the same 
if you don’t feel it too.
——————————————

Get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

——————————————

I know your favorite songs

And you tell me ‘bout your dreams

Think I know where you belong

Think I know it’s with me

———————————————

Baby, you’ve got the sort of eyes that tell me tales
That your sort of mouth just will not say, the truth impales
That you don’t need me, but you won’t leave me
My loves too big for you my love

————————————

Now I was sitting waiting wishing

That you believed in superstitions

Then maybe you’d see the signs

Learning loving somebody don’t make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?

Must I always be playing playing your fool?

Wont this plot untwist?

I’ve had enough mystery.

————————————-

But Cupid’s automatic must’ve fired multiple shots at her

Because she falls in love too often

That’s what’s the matter

———————————

I love you but I’m gonna keep quiet about it

I love you but I’m keeping my mouth shut about it

——————————————

I could be wholesome 

I could be loathsome

I guess I’m a little bit shy

Why don’t you like me?

Why don’t you like me without making me try?
———————————————

There’s a house across the river 

But alas I cannot swim

I’ll live my life regretting that I never jumped in

There’s a boy across the river with short, black, curly hair

He wants to be my lover and I want to be his peer

There’s a boy across the river

But alas I cannot swim

And I never will get to put my arms around him 

——————————————

You don’t know 

But that’s ok

You might find me anyway

Don’t you know that I belong arm and arm with you

In a town that’s cold and gray

We will have a sunny day

I don’t know where it goes

When it goes

Suddenly though, everything slows

And I miss you so

——————————————-

There’s a boy next to me

And he never will be

Anything but a boy at the bar

And I think he’s the tops

He’s where everything stops

How I love to love him from afar

————————————

If you knew my story word for word

Had all of my history

Would you go along with someone like me?

I did before and had my share

It didn’t lead nowhere

I would go along with someone like you

————————————-

I’d rather take a blow

At least then I would know

But baby don’t you break my heart slow

———————————-

Here’s the thing

We started out friends

It was cool

But it was all pretend

———————————

Holding hands

No one else could ever understand what it’s like between us

And that’s between us

————————————-

Sitting in the back of the bus

Talking about nothing

Oh we’re talking ‘bout us

Watching as the world goes hammering on

No one’s gonna wait for you

So do it now

Do it right now

—————————————

And this is my brain

Its torturous analytical thoughts make me go insane

And I’m singing ‘uh oh’ on a Friday night

And I hope everything’s gonna be alright

———————————

Hey honey you could be my drug

You could be my new prescription

Too much, get me an overdose 

—————————————

I don’t know

There is something about you

Would you like to spend time with me?

You said you’d lend me anything

I think I’ll have your company 

————————————-

This paranoia is distressing

And I spend most of my nights guessing

Are we not

Are we together?

Would this make our lives much better?

————————————-

Usually when things have gone this far

People tend to disappear 

No one has surprised me

Unless you do

———————————-

You chat to me like we connect

But I don’t even know if we’re still friends

It’s so confusing

Understanding you is making me not want to do the things I know that I should do

But I trip fast and then I lose

And I hate looking like a fool

——————————-

I think we might get on

I wish I could tell you face to face

Instead of singing this stupid song

But, yeah, I just think we might get on

————————————

Simply knowing you exist isn’t good enough for me

But asking for your telephone number seems highly inappropriate 

—————————————————

What if I’m not what you think I am?
What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?

Cause I am giving up on making passes

and I am giving up on half empty glasses
and I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving up

———————————————————

I’ll just read a book instead

I don’t care if we’re just friends

I can hang out with myself

I’m old enough now to pretend

—————————————————-

I wanna ask you - 
Do you ever sit and wonder, 
It’s so strange 
That we could be together for 
So long, and never know, never care 
What goes on in the other one’s head? 
Things I’ve felt but I’ve never said

———————————————

So little to say but so much time

Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind

Please wear the face

The one where you smile

Because you lighten up my heart 

——————————

I never thought I could love anyone but myself

Now I know I can’t love anyone but you

You make me think maybe I won’t die alone

Maybe I won’t die alone

————————

Can I have this chance

To be your little romance?

———————————

And it’s cold outside

But I don’t mind

You are mine

To keep warm 

—————————

Never saw it coming

It’s alright

It’s alright

It’s alright

No one’s got it all

—————————

I can see you falling like a homemade kite

————————-

Is it love or a fear of the cold?

————————-*

While beating up on yesterday

I was on my rollerblades

Rolling on 

Moving on

—————

You make it hard to see

—————

No, I never told you

I just held it in

———————-

See, the luck I’ve had

Could make a good man turn bad

————————

All this time I’ve been wasting 

Hoping you would come around

———————

Do you, do you really enjoy

Living a life that’s so hateful?

——————-

‘Cause there’s a hole where your soul should be

You’re losing control

And it’s really distasteful 

———————-

Maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame

———————-

I’m feeling pathetic

I can’t take rejection

———————

Just a shot in the dark

Please don’t be in love with someone else

I’m in trouble
I’m so cliché
See that word just wears me out

30 days of Christmas and all I know
Is I’m not quite ready to let go of this past year
I have so much to show
One more month
And all I need is a sign from you that you think of me
If you don’t
Then please just say so
Cause all I do
Is think of you

Today is never too late
To be brand new

Can’t you feel that sunshine 
Telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright

I don’t really know you But I know fo’ sure
That I could get to know you

Please don’t be in love with someone else
Please don’t have somebody waitin’ on you

You stole my heart
and I’m gonna steal yours too.

So life moves slowly when you’re waiting for it to boil

You’re gonna catch me if I fall 

You couldn’t move on with your whole life
Just like you do
Just like you shooby-do-do-do
But you could make everything alright 
And I want you to

Don’t believe the things you tell yourself so late at night
And, you are your own worst enemy, you’ll never win the fight

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

I won’t tell anybody that you turn the world around
I won’t tell anybody that your voice is my favorite sound

Is love alive?
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told

She ran away in her sleep 
and dreamed of 
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

Why can’t I feel anything 
From anyone other than you?

My eyes they don’t see
I don’t breathe the way I used to

Is it the fact that I’m a wee bit younger
Or the truth that I’m so naive
My heart keeps leaping back to you
Like a dog tied to a tree

You’re so amazed that I don’t pay
You attention these days

I take a step back
And let you go
I told you I’m not bullet proof
Now you know

I wonder if you know
I’m trying so hard not to get caught up now

We will be just fine

I hope that you catch me ‘cause I’m already falling

I’m to the point that I don’t even want to see your face anymore
You’re so far gone

Next time I’ll be braver
I’ll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

Set me free
Let me be
I don’t want to fall another moment in your gravity

And I was one who thought I was a strong one
You proved me wrong

I won’t let you close enough to hurt me

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come

Yeah, you sure got a lot of nerve, to say that this was all my fault.
I know you called, I got them all.
Girl you better love what you got, before you go and give it away
But don’t say that I don’t know you

We’re the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can’t accept that the change is good
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could’ve happened
Any longer and I wouldn’t have made it

Single doesn’t mean Im lookin’ for somebody

I’m pushing everyone away
Cause I can’t feel that anymore

Run until my legs go numb
I don’t plan on looking back

Why ya gotta be so mean?

Just like every person I’m inclined to opinions on your modern life 
Do you wonder why I don’t say mine? 
Cause you tell me I’m doing just fine 
And I know we’re all just fine

I just wanna run, hide it away
Run because they’re chasing me down

I’m not yours
And you’re not mine
But we can sit and pass the time

After a storm comes a rainbow

You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Let’s go back to the start

My heart is breakin’
But I just can’t weep

Nobody said it was easy
But nobody said it would be this hard 
Take me back to the start

Saw you on the train
Except it wasn’t *you* again
I could not contain
That feeling in my heart again
For what it’s worth
I still love you
*
You said hey
What’s your name?
It took one look
and now we’re not the same

You’re looking so cool, you’re looking so fly
I can’t deny that when I’m staring you down right dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want
The person you need, it’s hard to conceive
That somebody like you could be with someone like me

You, you got me where you want me
Cause I’ll do anything to please you
Just to make it through…

Sail away with me, honey
What will be will be

I know I’m crazy but it’s so hard to pretend
Like I know everything
I dont know anything
I wanted you to see
That I got nothin’

And the days feel like years when you’re alone

And I go back to December all the time

If it makes you happy 
It can’t be that bad

I’m dying to know
Is it killing you like it’s killing me?

When all you wanted was to be wanted

Do you know what’s worth fighting for
If it’s not worth dying for?

Always

Don’t say yes, run away now
I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church
By the back door

The first time is accidental 
The second time is inevitable 
The third time is fate

There’s a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you’re around
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

And every single time I look in to your eyes
I see a little bit more sunshine
I feel a little bit more like me
Instead of who I turned out to be
I wouldn’t trade it for a thing
Could I call you my baby?

Why don’t you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
Its not a secret; why do you keep it?
I’m just sitting on the shelf 

Here comes the feeling you thought you’d forgotten 

Hello Mr.Funny Man you’ve hidden who you are my friend
Your medicated remedy,
The cure for your complexities
There’s no need to be a phony man 

Whether it’s that look in your eye
Or maybe it’s this dancing juice
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time 

And when you find everything you looked for
I hope your life leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don’t, stay beautiful

Do I ever cross your mind?
Cause you’re on mine all the time
I can’t believe how unfair life is sometimes

Please don’t look me in the eye
Secret’s out, that I just might care about you
You broke me, you’re leaving
There’s nothing I can do
I’ll find a way to close the door
I want to say so much more

you don’t really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I’m superstitious
But I think you’re a pretty sweet pill that I’m swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you’ve got me on a mission

I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold
I’ll be fine once I get it, I’ll be good

She’s got you high and you don’t even know yet

Every time you smile, I smile
and every time you shine, I’ll shine for you
Don’t be afraid to jump then fall
Jump then fall into me 

Untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
And when you’re close, I feel like coming undone
In the middle of the night when I’m in this dream
It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name
You gotta come on, come on, say that we’ll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back 

And it’s a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it’s all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you’re getting sick of it

Maybe I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn’t know to be in love
You had to fight to have the upper hand

I’ll bet she’s beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she’s got everything
That I have to live without

So what? I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don’t want you tonight

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
infect me with your love, and fill me with your poison
take me, t-t-take me
wanna be your victim, ready for abduction

You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that’s what I said from the start

Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest
That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I’m not so sure
So here’s to everything, coming down to nothing
Here’s to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute
But I don’t anymore

I’d be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I’m no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who’s desperately in love with you

Wake up, wake up.
This ain’t just a thing that you,
Give up, give up.

I’m in love from the first time I let my eyes on you
I sure do do do do do
There’s nothing I can do

Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Hey everybody take a look around
Put your money where your mouth is
Take your eyes off the ground
We got a hard day coming if we can’t work out
All the pissy little problems that were fightin’ about

And as we walked we were talking
I didn’t say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I’ll be the one waiting there even when it’s cold 

But, my God, it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles

Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
Did it hurt just to know I was right there a-waiting? 

I’ve been walking around
Trying to figure out
Why I am feeling all the feelings that I’m feeling now
And I got more on my mind
Then I’ve got on my plate

‘cause I can’t help it if you look like an angel
Can’t help I if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I’ve been feeling since I met you
Can’t help it if there’s no one else
I can’t help myself

Every single night we fight
To get a little high on life
To get a little something right

Boy you might have me believing I don’t always have to be alone.

It’s always times like these
When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me. 

‘Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light
The night is fading, heart is racing
Now, just come and love me like we’re gonna die

We gotta live with what we got,
And I got nothing.
So agree to take my hand,
So we can conjure up with something rad.

Will you collect me and compound?
And clear your mind before the ground gets cold.
Embers in air, I know it’s hard when you’re alone, the wind in your hair.
If you were a snowflake, impossibly Id be the same shape as you.

Who would have thought that someone like me
Could of fallen in love so easily.
I know that you know that i know what i want
I know I cant have it but give it a thought.

I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin’
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine
and life makes love look hard.
The stakes are high, the water’s rough
But this love is ours. 

I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you

You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be
And you’re only as small as the world will make you seem
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side - you’re roughly six feet tall

I’m wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

So Just smile
Cause I’ve been
looking up looking down looking side to side
Wonderin why this world is the way it is

Oh darling, don’t you ever grow up
Don’t you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won’t let nobody hurt you, won’t let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up

And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe… just breathe,

Good things come to those who wait

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
‘Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am

You can’t be too careful anymore when all that is waiting for you won’t come any closer, you’ve got to reach a little more.

I’ll bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold,
But the cycle ends right now ‘cause you can’t lead me down that road.
But you don’t know what you don’t know.

I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin’ for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight.

Live like you’re dying

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
