You'll go where the summer goes, jet set to the southern coast
I know that tonight can't last forever
But you'll flee when the party sleeps and I'll wake with the memory
Of knowing in my bed and you inside my head
I can't stay away from you, I can't stay away from you

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, a Queen of broken hearts

Go slow, I'm keeping you close tonight, sneak out and get out
Of our clothes before we slip away, I don't want to slip away
To use me, you lose me, you move me to my knees,
With filthy wine and shivers gone, we kiss without control

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts

Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't stay away from you
Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't get enough of
Use me lose me, make me break me, tear me straight apart

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts

"Closer (Time Stops Breathing)"
Send "Closer (Time Stops Breathing)" Ringtone to your Cell
Picture yourself painted in black starlite skies
Like a painted canvas stained to white
Will make believe we were better of this way
Shadows taking shape in scarlet light

Give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
Get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
Breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
Are all we need

Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight

Secrets on cell phones
And begged for in tongues
Behind our breath
Beneath our lungs

Closer to closure
Then we ever been
Before our bodies break and fall again

Give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
Get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
Breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
Are all we need

Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight

Tonight, I'll pour myself around you
Come light, I'll learn to live without you
In a flash, you'll be gone like the moon at the dawn
Of a brand new day
And alone, alone, alone, I'll carry on

Time stops breathing for a moment
If right here, right now, is all we've got
We'd better make it last
So take me and make me
A part of you apart from you tonight

danger danger, eyes on fire
she's dressed down, revved and ready to go
waiter waiter, something stronger
she's stealing glances, ready to go
breathe her in and tip the glass
she's dressed down, revved and ready to go
one by one, she draws them in
just to let them go

don't believe a word she says
she's got a way of getting
what she wants when she wants it
from whoever's got it
and she'll break your heart if it's in her way

scandal scandal, dark apartment
she's dressed down, revved and ready to go
shiver shiver, at the touch
she's stealing glances, ready to go
shut the blinds and lock the door
she's dressed down, revved and ready to go
inch by inch, she draws me in
just to let me go

"Apocalypse!"
Send "Apocalypse!" Ringtone to your Cell
Take my hand and don't let me go
An till the sun is swallowed
And darkness comes to sing us all to sleep

Face to face without waking graves
Is this the best we've got
Is this the most we could
Have made of our homes disarray

Pick up the bottles
And nip up the air waves
We're going down
We're going down in flames

If this is it
We're dead set and ready for it
With refusing hands and bomb shelters
We're better brave then bashful and sing it

We are the beat that soldiered on
The acky eyes that made it to dawn
To kiss and wait to yesterday

Pick up the bottles
And nip up the air waves
We're going down
We're going down in flames

If this is it
We're dead set and ready for it
With refusing hands and bomb shelters
We're better brave then bashful and sing it

"Romance In A Slow Dance"
Send "Romance In A Slow Dance" Ringtone to your Cell
the hands are reaching for the three and the twelve
but the limbs in the light aren't fading
tangled figures remain stained just to spite
the secret life she's parading
silent sin can speak and sing you the ways
a cabaret where secondhand hearts can play
a classic dance between the fringe and the fray
where the hips can play
(she's going to get it, she's going to get it)

romance in a slow dance
at the scene of a scar
laces, lovers, and hearts
silhouettes (she's going to get it)
take a chance (she's going to get it)
make the heat in the sheets
like no one can

she shakes and makes her whispers barely discrete
while the pace and the breath start to quicken
a foreign shadow slowly enters in the room
to prove that he's not the victim
they dance in the dark, locking rhythms with art
a fragile cliche burns at the seams
a dash of it's passionate, a violent flash
and it puts an end to all that's obscene
(she's going to get it)

romance in a slow dance
at the scene of a scar
laces, lovers, and hearts
silhouettes (she's going to get it)
take a chance (she's going to get it)
make the heat in the sheets
like no one can

dance like no one can
dance like you don't know she's going to get it
dance like no one can
she don't know what's coming

"Goldmine Valentine"
Send "Goldmine Valentine" Ringtone to your Cell
she's a black widow best friend
cold as the cock of a colt 45
she fled the scene, she shed the sheets
and sold the movie rights
she swore before her chastity
with tongue and burning cheek
but fiction can be fun, fiction can be fun

oh no no no no, you better watch your back
cause exes can't be oh's
oh no no no no, you better watch your back

goldmine valentine, my bankroll butterfly
she'll steal your heart and make you proud
right before she sells you out
goldmine valentine, makes out with open eyes
she'll steal to save her skin
and she steal your heart again

she's a front page fold out million dollar mouth
with a story rip to tell
but she hates to read, she moves much better
up and down than side to side to side
she's famous for the fashion of
her backseat bedroom action can be fun
her backseat can be...

oh no no no no, you better watch your back
cause exes can't be oh's
oh no no no no, you better watch your back

goldmine valentine, my bankroll butterfly
she'll steal your heart and make you proud
right before she sells you out
goldmine valentine, makes out with open eyes
she'll steal to save her skin
and she steal your heart again

"When Did We Lose Ourselves"
Send "When Did We Lose Ourselves" Ringtone to your Cell
so young to seem such a mess
dead shy and scared half to death (of the rest)
set sail from shores of innocence
for data banks and fashion friends

we don't know what we've become
and we're freaking out
when did we lose ourselves?
when did we lose ourselves?
love forgive what we've become
cause we need you now
so we can save ourselves
so we can save ourselves

transcend the trend of proofs and pills
to numb the life that you have built (and you have spilt)
breed life to fill the void inside
and teach them all to stand in line (and fall behind)

we don't know what we've become
and we're freaking out
when did we lose ourselves?
when did we lose ourselves?
love forgive what we've become
cause we need you now
so we can save ourselves
so we can save ourselves

"I'll Meet You At The Bottom"
Send "I'll Meet You At The Bottom" Ringtone to your Cell
oh, so such a dirty little word
addictive like a party drug
that fakes the senses to make sense of what we love
so picture your pinstripes without any lines
like a vacant canvas stained to white

bring it closer
a crashing melody
and let the ship sink
the story's drowning out at sea
the lyrics splinter
in salty sympathy

pop goes the giant scene parade
green floats in fifty different shades
partial perfection leaks with industry embrace
but we wear our disdain on stylish sleeves
like tattoos of insecurity

bring it closer
a crashing melody
and let the ship sink
the story's drowning out at sea
the lyrics splinter
in salty sympathy

so long live the history

a song is sinking, a lyric splintered
art fought, but the chorus had a gun
a song is sinking, a lyric splintered
art fought, but the chords were screaming

long live the history

"The Chemicals Of You"
Send "The Chemicals Of You" Ringtone to your Cell
bright lights in a city that seems
too big to ever believe
soul searching is a dangerous road
where thrill seekers get dead to get living
so desperate and deliberate
we crush the scene with fingertips
an appetite for nights with hazy incidents

we don't, we don't
need another way to fall in love
and flood our veins with someone new
before we're empty of the last one
with intuition through tunnel vision
we'll make the same mistakes we made
on the last one, on the last one

cigarettes and a shadowy dance
when earthquake girls give you the chance
we are the kids who love to love
the third act stories with guts and glory

we don't, we don't
need another way to fall in love
and flood our veins with someone new
before we're empty of the last one
with intuition through tunnel vision
we'll make the same mistakes we made
on the last one, on the last one

tonight's the night when we will
fall asleep and wake up from the
black party dress that we call one night stands
and with these hands, we'll wash the sheets
to wash away and wipe a clean slate
of lipstick grins and midnight gin
to choke away our lost boy mistakes

we don't, we don't
need another way to fall in love
and flood our veins with someone new
before we're empty of the last one
with intuition through tunnel vision
we'll make the same mistakes we made
on the last one, on the last one

bright lights in a city that seems
too big to ever believe
on the last one

"Thieves We Are"
Send "Thieves We Are" Ringtone to your Cell
we are hollow bodies pressed against a brittle door
guilty of breaking faith we once were fighting for
we wish we could go back
and we wish that we were numb
the breath is thick when we're on both sides of the gun

bending light on broken beams
ghosts and celebrities
it can't be victory
when our lives have turned to black

so celebrate around the breakdown
and what we are is what we've done
collapse, collapse, collapse!
ruby red lips, a dashing disguise
collapse, collapse, collapse!
with nothing left to hide

shallow and meaningless with gold smoke in our eyes
an accident that's spent on nights without the lights
so shake, shake the horror
and the sin we feel inside
as we give in to temptation
and it makes us feel alive

bending light on broken beams
ghosts and celebrities
it can't be victory
when our lives have turned to black

so celebrate around the breakdown
and what we are is what we've done
collapse, collapse, collapse!
ruby red lips, a dashing disguise
collapse, collapse, collapse!
with nothing left to hide

and all the thieves we are
and all the thieves we are

"Time Stops Breathing"
Send "Time Stops Breathing" Ringtone to your Cell
midnight in the valley
sprawled out with stars around me
shot down from our sky charade
so long what we once were
strung out and full of fire
if we could only see us now

give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
are all we need

time stops breathing for a moment
if right here, right now, is all we've got
we'd better make it last
so take me and make me
a part of you apart from you tonight

we trade whispers over
cell phones under cover
from those sleeping at our sides
your kiss, in the distance is
crimeless without a witness
it helps just to know it's there

give in, give up, and soak into the airwaves
get up, get in, and bring yourself to me
breathe in, breathe out, fingertips and heartbeats
are all we need

time stops breathing for a moment
if right here, right now, is all we've got
we'd better make it last
so take me and make me
a part of you apart from you tonight

tonight, i'll pour myself around you
come light, i'll learn to live without you
in a flash, you'll be gone like the moon at the dawn
of a brand new day
and alone, alone, alone, i'll carry on

time stops breathing for a moment
if right here, right now, is all we've got
we'd better make it last
so take me and make me
a part of you apart from you tonight

Lyrics to That Kind Of Girl :
Alright!!

It was a Friday night in the summer of '99
And all my friends, they're out raging 'till the party ends
And I'm thinking of, if only till the sun is up
Cause I don't care if or where anybody else is playing truth or dare

And I don't really need them ooh
When I'm with you

We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feeling's right
So come on, come on baby show me what you're made of now
You're that kind of girl

You lead me up the stairs
I swear I'd let you take me anywhere
Don't wanna fall for you, I can't believe what I'm about to do

And I'm wrapped around your finger ooh
when you're wrapped around me

We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feeling's right
So come on, come on baby show me what you're made of now, yeah
You're that kind of girl

Ooh and I'm wrapped around your finger when you're wrapped around me

Nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feeling's right
Singin' nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feeling's right
So come on, come on baby show me what you're made of now, yeah

We're singin
Na na nana na na na na na na nana na
Sinigin
Na na nana na na na na na na nana na
You're That Kind Of Girl

Lyrics to Say What They'll Say :
Your head in your hands
You’re feeling crushed
The tears are building up
They’re whispering now
With poison for words
When they think your back is turned.
If you feel like giving up
Just know they don’t know us

Let them say what they’ll say.
It wont drive me away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking.
They’ll say what they’ll say because I wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they’ll say
Let them say what they’ll say


Tonight’s the night
We’ve had enough
Its time to call their bluff
We wont play along
We wont play the game
We’ll count down until they break
And they’ll drown there in their doubts
While they try to figure us out

Let them say what they’ll say.
It wont drive me away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking.
They’ll say what they’ll say because I wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they’ll say

Let them talk in circles
Spilling every secret
Let them think that they have a chance
They can have their rumors twisted up and backwards
Let them think they’ll understand


Let them say what they’ll say
It wont drive us away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking
They’ll say what they say
And we wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they’ll say

They’ll say what they say
And wont drive us away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking
They’ll say what they say
And we wont run away
Because nothings going to stay in our way
No nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they’ll say
Let them say what they’ll say
Let them say what they’ll say

Lyrics to What About Us :
I woke up
To an empty cup
And your page worth of crooked lines.
You took your space
And hid your face
Like you’ve done so many times.
I don’t want to wait that long
I don’t want to wait that long again
But I’ll see you when your winter ends

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough
When you’re the one giving up?

So careful now,
You’re running out
of comebacks and runaways
what about me?
what about love?
What about us?
What about us?

I close my eyes
You’re on my side
With summer tangled in your hair
The city lights were dim at night
Was there nothing for you there?
I don’t want to wait that long
I don’t want to wait that long again
But I’ll see you when your winter ends


So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up.

So careful now
You’re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about I’ve had enough?
I’ve called your bluff
Tonight I draw the line
I’ve cut the strings and burnt everything
I’m not coming back this time

I’m not going to wait that long
I’m not going to wait that long again.
I’m not going to wait

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up?

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you’re the one giving up?

So careful now
You’re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?

Lyrics to Hey Summer :
Well, I don’t mean to push
The streets are rolled in dust
But you’re waiting there for me
What’s inside of us
That reaches out to touch
And always come up empty?
The doorway casts shadows on your skin
You crack your knuckles and you roll to win
You tie your laces tight and you begin to run and run and run

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer,
Fighting as your city’s sinking
Hey lover
You don’t have to sleep alone
No you don’t

So mysterious
An isolationist
But you’re calling out to me
I’ll stand against your tide
I’ll let you seek and hide
I’ll wait so patiently
Draw a map of where you want to go
I’ll be the X on a desert road
The days are hot and the nights are cold
Just run and run and run

Hey summer
you won't be the one to give in
Hey summer
fighting as your city's sinking
Hey lover
You don’t have to sleep alone
No you don’t

Give me a sign
Give me the chance
To belong to you

Give me a sign
Give me the chance
To belong to you

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer
Fighting as your city’s sinking
Hey lover
You don’t have to sleep alone
No you don’t

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer
Fighting as your city’s sinking
Hey lover
You don’t have to sleep alone
No you don’t

Lyrics to Jessie :
A little baby in a black dress lately
Making me crazy makes me oh so sad
You've got me spinning in a thousand places
While you're out spending daddy's cash

So tell me tell me that the game is over
That you're done speeding up to take it slower
So let me in don't you let me down easy
I can't let you let me get away

Jessie, girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine, we play
Hide and seek inside my mind
I'll never rest, until I make you all mine

You're writing checks that your heart can't cash and
You string me out just to up and leave me hanging
I can't get you out of my imagination
Can't let you let me get away

Jessie, girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine, we play
Hide and seek inside my mind
I'll never rest until I make you all mine
Jessie, you never ever let me
Tell you what you mean to me
And your kiss and tell puts me through hell
I'll never rest until you know how I feel

I get you out alone in the backyard
To talk it out and telling you is so hard
So don't let me get away when I want you
So let me get you like you're knowing that I want to

I get you out alone in the backyard
To talk it out and telling you is so hard
So don't let me get away when I want you
So let me get you like you're knowing that I want to

Jessie girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine
And your kiss and tell puts me through hell
Oh well, cause all I really wanted was
Jessie
Jessie

I want you until the end of time
So I'll never rest, until I make you all mine

Lyrics to Always :
As we stood a top your best friend's porch
The wind cut through our teeth
I glued my feet in front of you
Cause I swore I'd never leave

And then it all falls down
Around me

As I watch you walk away from me
The street lights flicker then
Your shadow fades into the night
And my heart starts craving in

Gotta find a way
To get you back again

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say "We'll be okay"
I will be here now and always to stay

It's a long way back from where we are
To where we used to be
When I'm haunted by the ghost of you
In a place that never sleeps

Gotta find the words
To get you back to me

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say "We'll be okay"
I will be here now and always to stay

If you come back home
You'll never be alone
If you come back home
You'll never be alone
If you bring yourself
To live for someone else
Then you'll know

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say "We'll be okay"
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay

Lyrics to Queen Of Broken Hearts :
You'll go where the summer goes, jet set to the southern coast
I know that tonight can't last forever
But you'll flee when the party sleeps and I'll wake with the memory
Of knowing in my bed and you inside my head
I can't stay away from you, I can't stay away from you

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, a Queen of broken hearts

Go slow, I'm keeping you close tonight, sneak out and get out
Of our clothes before we slip away, I don't want to slip away
To use me, you lose me, you move me to my knees,
With filthy wine and shivers gone, we kiss without control

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts

Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't stay away from you
Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't get enough of
Use me lose me, make me break me, tear me straight apart

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken hearts

Lyrics to Skinny Jeans :
She's got an old suitcase of summer clothes
But she's got nowhere to go
She's got fifteen bucks left to her name
And the road to call her own

She sleeps alone on city streets
And calls me on the phone to say
"I miss you all the time.
You're all I've got to stay alive"

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

She's got her heart tattooed with knotted words
That she though she still believed
A New York smile in skinny jeans
And the moves to make you scream

She'd rather run and cut her ties
Then stay and let the moment die
She's always on my mind
and without her, I can't survive

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

She came back from California
Lost her way alone in Georgia
Found she wanted something more
Like what she did before
And then she stumbled back into me
And took my breath away

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Baby so steal my heart
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

Beat without you, yeah
Beat without you, yeah
Beat without you

Lyrics to Somewhere Out There :
You took your steps
Away from me
So keep your distances
If you leave
I'm stuck inside a moment
With a suitcase of dusty dreams

The train starts leaving
With you inside
I close these blue eyes
And keep them tight
You swore to me forever
But forever was just a lie

I won't end up cryin' like I can't move on
But I can't pretend that you're better off gone
If it kills me now
It can't kill me when I'm over you, angel

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

If you never loved me
Then I don't need to know
And if you give your heart up
Make sure you take is slow

So if you're gonna leave me
Then pack your things and go

I won't end up cryin' like I can't move on
But I can't pretend that you're better off gone
If it kills me now
It can't kill me when I'm over you,

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

And I know
That I'm never gonna feel the way I felt again
When I met you, putting pretty pictures on your skin
I can't deny
That I wish this all was something more
I wish this all was something more than this

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

Lyrics to So Crazy :
I woke up at two
With nothing to do
But stare at the ceiling in my room
There's places I'll go
When I'm stuck here lyin' on the floor

I used to be me
I used to be something worth believing in until
I traded in my pills in booze
And caught the traveler's blues

I know I'm the only one to blame
For all of my self-inflicted pain
But when I'm alone at night
I crush my maker's day

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

I'm stuck in a rut
I'm wondering what
It's gonna take to pick me up
To put a new step in my shoes
And get me on my way

I watch the TV
It puts me to sleep
I run from the dreams between my sheets
Where all of the friends that I lost
Are waiting for me

I know I'm a total tragedy
A shell of a boy without the teeth
To look in the mirror and say
"A man don't live this way"

C'mon!

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

Cuz I may be goin' crazy, baby

I may be goin' crazy, baby

Now I know I'm goin' crazy, baby

Now you've got me goin' crazy, baby

One more time, Big Daddy!

Lyrics to When Did We Lose Ourselves :
So young to seem such a mess
dead shy and scared half to death (of the rest)
set sail from shores of innocence
for data banks and fashion friends

we don't know what we've become
and we're freaking out
when did we lose ourselves?
when did we lose ourselves?
love forgive what we've become
cause we need you now
so we can save ourselves
so we can save ourselves

transcend the trend of proofs and pills
to numb the life that you have built (and you have spilt)
breed life to fill the void inside
and teach them all to stand in line (and fall behind)

we don't know what we've become
and we're freaking out
when did we lose ourselves?
when did we lose ourselves?
love forgive what we've become
cause we need you now
so we can save ourselves
so we can save ourselves
