I’ll sit back and watch you closely
as your heart attack consumes your body
Its kinda funny how you left me for dead she said
your like a drug and the more I use the more it kills me
and I wont think about you, gotta think about me

And I wont let it go yeah, yeah
Make my way tomorrows my escape
Can you feel me in your IV baby tonight?

I’ll relax and watch you closer and your hairs a mess
but this is closure
Did it hurt to jump out the window
I never missed a secret so I know exactly why you did it
and when we save forever we meant till this gets old
And I don’t care about you, you never cared about me
I’LL GET DRUNK AND BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN

I wont let it go yeah, yeah
Make my way tomorrows my escape
can you feel me in your IV baby tonight

The way her hair smelled, her reflection in the mirror
couldn’t save a dove from this hurricane
It’s hard to jump ship, without the pearls around your neck, let go just sink!

I'm still making big plans, stirring up the ocean

Don't you worry we will finish what we started,
I promise you are not on hold.
I swear you will catch the wave I rode on,
cause things are looking great
and I've got so much time, I've got so much time!

And if I'm slipping like sand through your hands tonight,
Don't sail away, meet me.
I'm still making big plans, stirring up the ocean,
don't sail away, don't sail away.

This is my favorite season, changing colors in the sun.
letting good days pass us by. Your love is luck I'm losing.
Don't you worry we will finish what we started,
we'll sail away and have the life we always wanted.
Until then, in your room from your window,
I wish you could see the best times, saving the best lines for you!

And if I'm slipping like sand through your hands tonight,
Don't sail away, meet me.
I'm still making big plans, stirring up the ocean,
don't sail away, don't sail away.

Let's get together and we'll build a city,
and if you're willing I'll be coming back ready,
put up and if you miss me, spin me, sing me!

Another state won't change your face
It's a million in one shot, so give it your best shot
I'm playing along, come play with me
I can't say what you want to
Drama helps us get through
Will you give up?
Or should I start the countdown and shimmy 'til the ball drops?

And I'll be right here, and I'll be right here
This poison called fame, and the veins of the insane, says that we could be heroes

Family heirlooms, dead man's fortune
Forgive me for leaving
I'll be sure to send what I don't deserve back home
What a place, like heaven on paper
Dad was my hero
Dinner with the neighbors all fell apart
With love that I felt the fear, the hell,
I feel in...my heart is my home, my heart is my home

And I'll be right here, and I'll be right here
This poison called fame and the veins of the insane, says that we could be heroes

Without emotion, all we live for is undying trust,
and we lose it in each other as we lose another year
All we have is each other, all we have is each other
And we lose it in each other as we lose another year

My attention span is short but I don’t remember why,
these bright lights wake me up from the coma
I fell in last night I made friends with Bacardi
and woke up with lips locked to girlfriends of best friends I’m sorry
Hello goodnight, I’m cornered by this consequence a breath of life

Take a chance on the tight rope baby
think I’m crazy well I just maybe able to save you from life without living

I’m still young, and there’s still time to get hopped up
and make bad decisions I’m living
and no I’m not the type of person that thinks before I speak
my mind don’t waste my time cause where I’m from we live like were alive,
you know I L-O-V-E love to get down

Take a chance on the tight rope baby
think i'm crazy well I just maybe able to save you from life without living,
Think I’m crazy I Just maybe able to save you from life without living

Waiting in parking lots just you and me and we’ll be, what we’ll be
There is no other place I’d rather be in your car in the dark with your body around me

Hey babe do you remember holding your breath on that cold November
day A gift that I left you fog reveals that last thing that I said

Oh oh

Hey baby do you remember the rain and the breeze
and the leave of amber days spent the winter was a decade away

And I'm missing it, is she missing me
this haunted worlds disguised were ghosts were mysteries…. Mysteries…

She sleeps alone, but still remains the outline of her lover on her mattress
every days the same day with the lost of her love she's alone on her own holiday

Say girl I know your feeling like a match burnt out
like a black widow spinning all her memories of him inside her web,
turning blisters into cancer cause she cant imagine never seeing him
the illusion that he's there his fingers through her hair, she's screaming

Da da da da da da da da

And i'm missing it, is she missing me, another day another night

She sleeps alone but still remains the outline of her lover on her mattress
every days the same day with the loss of her love she's alone on her own holiday

She waits alone but he's never coming home again

I think I might be crazy.
But tonight, the kids will show their face and prove that they can go there
With no regard that people live there; we won't wait until we die

All we want is what we've come for: liberationtoxication
Scream out loud, 'cause life is crazy
Sanity we have no use for

This is for parents who think twice, regret mistakes and judge the upcoming crowds
Why can't they listen?
Or pretend to care?
So give a guilt trip, and I'll try to give a...
She said, "The devil's out of town and I'm filling in."

All we want is what we've come for: liberationtoxication
Scream out loud, 'cause life is crazy
Sanity, we have no use for

It's the distance between now and then
Decisions start to make more sense
My eyes are as clear as the lights in the sky and on that fourth night,
we'll all gasp and realize we're to blame

Like the outline of our nightmares
Piece by piece, we'll try to frame the perfect picture
But it's all so grey

Like the brightest colors and the wind that spirals downward wrecking the earth
We have the boldest fury to put ourselves on top of the world

All we want is what we've come for: liberationtoxication
Scream out loud, 'cause life is crazy
Sanity we have no use for

You got me shaking
Got to let me down easy
It's too convenient that I'm head over heels for you
Just stop a moment and think about the first time I look at you across the room
She said, "Girls like boys who got it all figured out."
I'll turn it up a notch, turn it up a notch

And we can stay up all night solving all your problems
It's like we never had a chance to take a breath
And we'll stare for awhile and think out loud
It's like we never had a chance to meet
'Cause your my summer tease

You got me shaking like a first class plane crash
Do you believe in life after burning alive?
Stop the moment and think about that time I dropped a knee and proposed to you.
You said a runaway bride's the best that I could do, "So, drop a knee boy".

And we can stay up all night solving all your problems
It's like we never had a chance to take a breath
And we'll stare for awhile and think out loud
It's like we never had a chance to meet
'Cause your my summer tease

Sleep in, call out, we go to class but not to pass,
wake up to make up lines that etch their words to every seam,
you see the thing your missing is, I'm so strung out,
I'm so god damn addicted, that I panic to get these words out

Swing the mic around, you'll feel me in the crowd
Oh my god let's make a point to tear this place down
You can't help, we can't help, we can't help,
but get caught up in this madhouse

I've stayed up half a year to compose every breathe and every line,
I'm just killing time to tell a story of sleeping rare nights,
moonlit street fights, locked in my bedroom with prescriptions
to musicians that no doctor recommends
I'll die before I try to live a life
that's the slightest bit different

Direct your attention up front this is your song, the glare, from the transparent space.
Mixed with the sun isn't good enough, I need to see your naked eyes melting in mine,
I can't help this loose feeling like that first drop baby.
I wanna hold your hand on top of the bar, but I think its time that we should let go.
Keep the noise down low, if you'd like to lead, well pretend we don't care,
that this hurts so good, but it feels so wrong, I'll try to keep my voice down.
Breathe out, breathe out. Breathe out, breathe out, push the hesitation,
let your anger at me, unleash, you still, turn me on, and now your in my song,
about tragic ways to end a simple love story, and this lifeless girl gone horribly wrong.
Can you feel my breath against your lips, a hint of confidence this night time scene,
we've been through once before. Our love exists between the sheets.
Spread out across the hotel floor. She always smiles in pictures,
Am I worth a thousand words or at least one more

But I'm burning lives and crossing bridges

Let me describe to you a story of a boy who swallowed pills
fascinated with sex and violence
too young to know what he figured out
that this world is full of violence insist to run him down
if he can learn to trust himself
only family and loving friends can ever hurt him

I'll sit by, just watching all the trains hit the first stop,
counting every second 'till the ball drops.
Restart so I can count all the extra time you needed,
did you really need to waste your breath with my time.
I can put you, I can put you on a billboard,
watch the colors dance and watch you let it fade away.
I can put you, I can put you on a billboard,
watch you smile and watch you let it all fade away.

I won't be the one that's got your back now,
so pack your bags now, so pack up and move along,
move along, move along.

You don't have the insurance to pay for mistakes like these, so consider the obvious.
You fucked up and dropped a kiss on the lips of my favorite mistress,
and she cries out in distress, yeah she cries out, I am helpless.
I can put you, I can put you on a billboard,
watch the colors dance and watch you let it fade away.

I get excited when you scream, lace up the doctor's only white glove,
you seem to make me tremble, with these patient calming steps you have.

Why do you always look at me all up and down, with rolling eyes?
Get a grip I'll do my best.

The waitress left a note on the table, she said that you've got potential,
drop a line when you're back in town.

And by the way, I'm sick of losing my friends and learning lessons, writing to impress them.

These are the stories you can't live down, the ones you love to hate the most,
and you know that we can get down' we;ve got a reputation to uphold.

Here's a melody, to shake your bones, we hum the tune, you sing along...
sing (oh, oh, oh) (oh, oh, oh).

The waitress left a note on the table, and on the back of the paper,
she signed, something to remember.

And by the way, I'm sick of losing my friends and learning lessons, writing to impress them.

I'll take a breath between songs and next semester, my hands are steady,
I'm not ready to forget them. 18 years and all I got to show,
is a few catchy hooks with this guitar I wrote

Desperate times call for desperate pleasures,
like sleeping with the lights on and dancing in the rain.
I'll try to live my life, one lyric at a time.
And I'll never forget the friends I've made and lost along the way.

And by the way...

When my pulse stops, what will the obituary say,
another footnote, another root beneath the tree
(and as the days turn to months and the months turn to years,
will these hours and minutes add up to something worth documenting,
will the textbooks carry my name?)
Or will this quill just break, before we sign,
our names on the parchment in time, your word is mine.
Tell me I'm the love, tell me I'm the laughter,
tell me I'm the look, the look you're always after.
I might've wrote a will, instead I wrote a sonnet,
for you to sing along, well be timeless.
Breathe; tell the summer I wont sleep.
Until my veins run dry, my story will survive,
Oh were the story get it right!
We write the hooks that make you beg for more,
and if these moments hold the truth,
our words are timeless thanks to you.
Place your bets on the best,

This guy I know carries a tone through the walls
with his stereo he is hysterical hes dripping wet, what a shame.
It's hard to stomach when you see a friend;
you loved forever pour his heart and soul to prove that hes the losing card.
He thinks the things, he should have thought, he thinks at night, he thinks the day away.
Wear it till you love it, try to fake it put your hands back on it,
now you think your perfect, well tip our hats to disappointment,
Wear it till you love it, we lied we laughed we cried about it,
we've learned to grow up by it, so tip your hats to
He talked a lot to pass the time he watched his friends grow older
and start new lives with their new wives,
and all the while the clock was still tick, tick, ticking,
now his pulse speeds to a different tempo,
and it's hard to climb a ladder if you never put it up
it's like his first lovers lips he never kissed he lost the moment.
You can say what you want, but you know they'll never listen
hide what you want cause you know you'll never have it.
You can wear what you want, don't wear.
what they love, you can take it all off you can wear it till you love it.
Take it back down to the bottom of your twenties
and you've got some memories to get you started in the right direction.
Shut your mouth he screams into the microphone hes writing a new son
