Taking Back Sunday

First topic message reminder :

"Head Club"

Well it's getting colder and you're getting distant
and I just keep thinkin
that I never meant it to be like this(to be like this)
You know what comes next(so do I)
You’re begging for a way to gracefully bow out
and say goodnight

It's worse than you think
On your way home you should have known
you never listen to me
I’m only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie
I’m only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie

I can’t say I blame you
but I wish that I could
I’m sick of writing every song about you

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you)

"Error Operator"

Well there's been an accident (calm down)
There's been an accident, breathe
In and out calm down (in and out calm down)
Breathe in and out calm down (in and out calm...)

We can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back, we can't...
We can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back, we can't...

(Breathe in and out calm down)

Well would you do it again, again
And count backwards from ten
(Look I don't make those mistakes no more)
Sometimes I swear I can see straight through you
Just concentrate, good try
But would you do it again, again

We can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back, we can't...
We can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back, we can't...

We can't go back
Can't go back
Can't go back, we can't...
We can't go back
Can't go back

Murder, Oh murder, oh where have you been? [x5]

Sometimes I swear I can see right through you
Concentrate, Concentrate, Control, Concentrate.
This doesn't feel like anything.

We can't go back, can't go back, can't go back, we can't...
We can't go back, can't go back, can't go back, we can't...
We can't go back, can't go back, can't go back, we can't...
(Feels like anything anything, anything anything)

"Miami"

The whole truth and nothing but the truth
Stop me if you've heard this one before
The whole truth is nothing but a good excuse
So long as you don't torture me with my past
Let's be honest; a secret silenced is a secret safe

Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour
(every hour on the hour)
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can't ever be again

Reminders, they are not reluctant
So stop me if you've heard this one before
Sideways blinders,
I can't find a way (around a way) around..

Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can't ever be again

The faith you found I never felt (never felt)
The terror held in wedding bells
And comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know

Miami Miami Miami
Well every hour on the hour (every hour on the hour)
Unhand me, God damn me, Miami
Whoever I was then I can't ever be again

The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know
The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know

"Divine Intervention"

Despondent, distracted,
You're vicious and romantic;
These are a few of my favorite things.
All of those flavors and
This is what you choose:
Past the blues, past the blues,
And on to something new,

Something real, make it timeless,
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
So if you're calling me out,
Then count me out.

Yeah, we're stubborn and melodramatic,
A real class act.
You see, I know a few of your favorite things.
Five in the morning and all comes out pouring,
Love, out the same way in.

Something real, make it timeless,
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
Now if you're calling me out,
Then count me out.

Something real, make it timeless,
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
I said real, make it timeless,
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
Now if you're calling me out,
Then count me out.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.
Mm, mm, mmmm.

"Spin"

That look was priceless, don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before, and it still suits you the same
You catch on quick! (You catch on quick!)
The cynics deaf, before they give the same reviews
(You catch on quick!) You catch on quick!

Oh oh, now this is where, where the party is
Are you coming home? (Well, are you coming home?)
Are you coming home? (Well, are you coming home?)
You had your chance! (You had your chance!)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)
You had your chance! (You had your chance!)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)

The abortion that you had left you clinically dead,
And made it all that much easier to lie
But that's nothing that I'm proud of (No, it's nothing that I'm proud of
I'm making an example out of you (This is phase one)
This is a preview (This is phase one)

Oh oh, now this is where, where the party is
Are you coming home? (Well, are you coming home?)
Are you coming home? (Well, are you coming home?)
You had your chance! (You had your chance!)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)
You had your chance! (You had your chance!)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)

Don't act like you're the first one
I treat it like disease
Sure it's rough around the edges
It's the only thing you see

Don't act like you can't see me, darling, I'm coming
And act like you don't see me, darling, I'm coming
And act like you don't see me, darling, I'm coming
And act like you don't see me, darling...

You had your chance (You had your chance)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)
You had your chance (You had your chance)
Open arms reject assuming hands (arms reject assuming hands)

You had your chance
You had your chance (You had your chance)

"Twenty-Twenty Surgery"

I'll take with me every single luxury when I leave you could
Count on me for that and nothing more
(Count on me for that and nothing more)
The view from this side's not what
The view from this side's not what
I thought it'd be, promise something differently
Close our eyes and let go of the wheel

It's not the quantity that bothers me
(no it's not the quantity that bothers me)
No it's not the quality that bothers me... it's the means

Twenty-twenty surgery
Well, twenty twenty surgery for cheap
Dollar signs doll up a picture perfect point of view

We'll get you home in time to make the rent (should be for free for being me)

It's not the quantity that bothers me

You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.
You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.
You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.
You're so sensitive
I am, I am a machine.

"My Blue Heaven"

Two sides twist and then collide;
You're calling off the guards (Am I coming?)
I'm coming through. (Am I coming?)
Adulterous conditioned to a spin cycled submission,
You know, sometimes it just feels better to give in.
(Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.)

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time.
All the cards begin to stack up,
Twisting heartache into fine
Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,
But it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)

Dull heat rises from the sheets.
I'm both a patient boy,
Well, and a jealous man. (Am I coming?)
My double standardized suspicion
Is remedied, oh, my blue heaven,
Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.
(Sometimes, it just feels better to give in.)

And it's all too familiar
And it happens all the time.
All the cards begin to stack up,
Twisting heartache into fine
Little pieces that avoid an awful crime,
But it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe.
(You're safe, child, you are safe.)
You're safe, child, you are safe.

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe.
You're safe, child, you are ..

safe (safe), safe (safe),
You are safe.

We swing and we sway
As this tiny voice in
My head starts to sing
You're safe, child, you are safe. (Am I coming?)
You're safe, child, you are safe. (Am I --)
Coming through?

Is this all too familiar?
Does it happen all the time?
I'm just asking you to hear me.
Could you please, just once, just hear me?
More then anything you wanted to be right.
Still it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.
(You I can't deny.)
It's you I can't deny.

"Up Against (Blackout)"

So this is what we're up against?
So this is what we're up against?

Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away

Regrets always work
Excuses are better
A practical exchange
Or a trade for the truth
But you know it never held up (but you know it never held up)
Pretend that it's still good now

Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away

We're turning our clocks back
We're just never ourselves
So go with the flow
Just relax (just relax)
You never feel the jet lag
Unless you're trying to fit in

Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
(every minute is a minute away)

Less is more except when it comes to mistakes
How long is long, that depends how long it takes
Less is more except when it comes to mistakes
How long is long, that depends how long it takes
The years, not months
Not days, you blackout memories
The years, not months
Not days, you blackout memories

Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
(every minute is a minute away)
Every minute is a minute
And a minute and a minute away

"Didn't See That Coming"

You were a medicine cabinet ball.
I came crawling, I came crawling, every night.
Like the rat I am.
Like the rat I am.
Of all the things, things I thought I'd seen.
Sure didn't see that coming.

Slower now.
At your patient's tracking, holes into your skin.
North to South
I came crawling, I came crawling, I came crawling.

Oh gently please,
won't you take your time with me?
Oh gently please,
stop talkin' 'bout dying like we haven't tried it.

All the things, the things I thought I'd seen.
Sure didn't see that coming.
And oh gently please,
won't you take your time with me?
And oh gently please,
stop talkin' 'bout dying like we haven't tried it.
And oh gently please,
stop talkin' 'bout dying like we haven't tried it.

"Long Time Comin'"

There's a symphony out past the trees beyond your father's house
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground
You told me you ain't gonna miss it
But you'll never hear it like you heard it then
Like you heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh, I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in

Well halfway out of town
Loading your father's father's gun
The one he smuggled back from Germany
After the war was won
You told me he ain't gonna miss it
Better serve it's purpose like it did back then
Just like it did back then
Besides he ain't reminiscing
Yeah he'll never hear it like he heard it then
Not like he heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh, I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Oh these walls are caving in
Walls were caving in

"Everything Must Go"

We found a house with a yard
And moved all of my things in
And most of your things in
And honey, I was proud of it
And honey, I was proud of you

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

Some boxes,
That hand-me-down couch
And chair that used to be at your church
We borrowed them from there
A cabinet record player with nothing but James Taylor
Tore the carpets from the corner
To put on the hardwood floor
I'd be a fool to have asked for more

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud
Instead you slash it through the mud

The love you had but couldn't name,
The past that we were stuck between
Beside myself I stopped to think
Lord, what have I done?

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue
Instead you slash it through the mud

You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient
But you don't have the sense
No you don't have the sense
To tie your tangled tongue

"Carpathia"

I'm gonna leave the same way I came
Up from the ashes then I'm from the
Ashes
If our house it stood here on this wood
foundation
Then you, you could've fooled me I admit I was a fool for
Your southern days
(One-hundred and fifty degrees in the shade)
It wasn't an option to come back to my place
(No I was put in my place)
You, we lived in separate
houses we had for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
(It would've been nice to say)
It would've been nice to say
I knew you
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
CARPATHIA
I dont worry half as much as I Did
When I was an experiment
Your resident tourniquet
life's how about your left waiting, just waiting
I am the mantel and your a painting
come rest your frame on me
(Come rest your frame on me)
I was a tower and you were an airplane
We happened before we knew
what was happening
we lived in separate
houses we had for all our lives
It would've been nice to say
(It would've been nice to say)
It would've been nice to say
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
We lived inside each other
such careless lazy lovers
Would've been nice to say
Sure would've been nice to say
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
when oh when will this
sinking feeling
Feel like "man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"
"Man that was ages ago"

"Capital M-E"

The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike 'til their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now

Divinity spelt correctly beneath the receding pride of his twenties was
Capital M-E (I could've subscribed)
Was capital M-E (But you cant say I didn't try)
You say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
so you say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
I got, I got away

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothin stopping me now

Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?
Too much too soon or too good to be true?
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all of that and more?

All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothin stopping me now

But all I ever was look up to you
And if all I ever was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now

"Catholic Knees"

Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
I Scraped them up good
You doctored them clean

Oh yes, we are patient, patients
Salt-licked wounds merely bruised
(But none of that'll matter)
None of that'll matter soon
On some ancient day, see how much you can take
None of that'll matter
None of that'll matter soon

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

Before my hands had the chance to grow old
I was told
'Good enough's as good as it's gonna get'
'Yeah good enough's as good as you'll ever get'

S-s-said I, I made a conscious decision
Shake the skin I was stuck in and stretched my bones
Believe in nothing
I can't quite seem to catch my breath
(But I cannot forget)

That none of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
None of that'll matter soon
(None of that'll matter soon)
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

But that's where you came in
Yeah, here we are
Yeah, here I am
That's where you came in
Now, here we are
Lord, please keep my feet flat on the ground
Lord, keep my feet flat on the ground

Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving so fast)
Everything was moving so fast
(Everything was moving...)

"Cut Me Up Jenny"

On a borrowed mattress you were stopping time
I've been watching you, I've been watching you
For hours and hours before you knew

You are the satin noose
I've been saving up to buy
You, you are the polished pearl grips of your fathers .45
Give me all those gory details
Do tell, do tell

Cut me up Jenny
Well cut me up gently
Well I took full advantage of being taken for advantage oh
Yeah, I took what I could get and literally it took the place of love
Match-makers in heaven only got a one track mind
So in our case I don't think they'd mind

Finger prints a perfect match
You know you didn't have to leave the way you did
I've been watching you, I've been watching you
Most times you never knew

You are a Sunday afternoon
With nothing to do
You are Manhattan in June
As the population's wearing next to nothing

Cut me up Jenny
Cut me up gently
Well I took full advantage of being taken full advantage of
I took what I could get and eventually it took the place of love
Match-makers in heaven only got a one track mind
So in our case well I don't think they'd mind
No in our case I don't think they'd mind

So cut me up Jenny
Well cut me up Jenny

Yeah...
Talking about our prayer
Is it gonna make me sweat
Yeah.
Come on Jenny.

Give me all those gory details
Do tell, do tell
So cut me up Jenny

"Where My Mouth Is"

See it's not like I didn't mean what I said
When I said I'll put my money where my mouth is
And I put my money where my mouth was
Until I couldn't breathe through my nose
And now I'm staring at the floor
Where my second life just ended
Where I lost not one, but two friends

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
Well just to prove that I could
I put my money where my mouth is

See I recall quite perfectly who I was
Both before and after the drugs
Both before and after the drugs
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth was
I got a strong will, just weak hands
And I don't know what to do with either one of them

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
Just to prove that I could
Just to prove that I could
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is
I put my money where my mouth is

You're a knight in shining armor of a mother and a father
You had everything, everything you needed
And it was made crystal clear that would not change

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
Yeah I had it all
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
And I had it good, so good
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
I could
Just to prove that I could

(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is, is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
Yeah I had it all

"Swing"

Open the gate to your apartment complex
You're not getting off that easily
I climb the fence, the one that you've been sitting on
(How long) before I'm just a memory?
(How long) before you can't remember me?
Remember me

I never had a choice
I never had a choice
To leave the chokehold
Mouldin' around that to his doorway
I couldn't find the box to fix the list that's nagging in my brain
(How long) before I'm just a memory
(How long) before you can't remember me
Remember me

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and
Swing (swing)
Swing (swing)
Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
Passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?
Just swing
(Just swing, swing, swing, swing, swing)

I never had a choice

The evening lent itself
Watch my reservations fall to the floor
Fall to the floor
Now sing with me

(How long) before you can't remember me?
Remember me

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and
Swing (swing)

Before you leave
Lover lover tell me this
With passion over consequence
When did the latter take the lead?

How long did you expect to keep me waiting?
How long before I'm just a memory?

Lover lover on the fence
Bat your eyes, ball a fist and

"Summer, Man"

Yeah

I played deaf, immersed
In that technicoloured kind of
Black and white type
Counting one to seven through the roof
If my lady only knew how high I am, I am tonight

I crack open the safe myself now
Fourty-five twenty-two
June until September
Three months 'til december

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

'Cause I ain't working for you anymore
No, I ain't working for you anymore
So go prove to the world what you already proved
That you just couldn't do on your own

Let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

So let's have a talk about the good times
But you were always giving in
Let's have a talk about the good times
Boy, you were only giving in to (me)

The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
The summer is over and I doubt
I doubt I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around
I'll be seeing you around

"Lonely, Lonely"

Flower tongue wilts with too much sun
And that's where we've been living for so long
Sending off the western coast
Watch the sun set with your shrinking voice
See I ain't the boy she loves the most
I'm just enough to fill the void her daddy left

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me

But I often wonder just how deep I could sink my teeth
Into the crease where your all the place
Where all the good times the grow, grow
Wouldn't taste the same, the same for me
Wouldn't sound the same coming from me
Such an awful tearing sound

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me
Changing for me

All the things they said about you
Paper thin walls stacked around you
An hour glass's silhouette and then
No matter how hard I try
Or how dirty you fight
There is no place on God's great earth
Where you could go to hide from me

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me (She said)
You wanna get me high (She said)
You wanna get me high
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Don't you go changing for me
Changing for me

"Sink Into Me"

Hey [x6]

Come on,
Tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got so far.
Yeah, tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got too far.

You're all I see,
sink into me.
Sharpen your teeth,
sink into me.
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd like to see our roles reversed,
to watch you hang on every word,
I'd like to see you have your way.
I keep my grammar well rehearsed,
correct each stutter, every slur,
come on and have your way with me.

Now tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got so far.
You tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got too far.

Hey [x12]
You're all I see,
sink into me.
Sharpen your teeth,
sink into me
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

Well I'd like to see our roles reversed,
to watch you hang on every word,
I'd like to see you have your way.
I keep my grammar well rehearsed,
correct each stutter, every slur,
come on and have your way with me.

Come on and have your way with me.

I'd like to be a note,
the kind you could sing but don't because you're shy
That way I'll live inside your throat,
and hang from every word you spoke.

(Hey, hey, hey.....)
You're all I see,
sink into me.
Sharpen your teeth,
sink into me.
Sink into me (sink in, sink in)

I'd love to see you have your way,
come on, have your way with me
(And hang from every word you spoke)
I'd like to see you have your way
(Correct each stutter every slur)
Come on have your way with me,
sink into me.

"New Again"

Well my dear, what long arms you have
All the better to hold you down
Slap my wrist with that sweet consequence

What are we

"Your Own Disaster"

Just think of this and me
as just a few of the many things
to lie around
to clutter up your shelves
And I wish you weren't worth the wait
because there's some thing's
I'd like to say to you...

And I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing
'Cause I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing

And I dare you to forget
the marks you left
across my neck
from those nights when we were both
found at our best
Now I could make this obvious,
and you, you could deny me
all in one breath
you could shrug me off
your shoulders...

And I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing
'Cause I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing

And I don't think that you know
I said I don't think you know
I said I don't think you know what your missing

Hey, lush, have fun
It's the weekend
Hey, lush, have fun

Hey, lush, have fun
It's the weekend
Hey, lush, have fun

I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing
I don't think that
you know what
you've been missing

Just forget me
it's that simple
Just forget me
it's that simple

"The Things We'll Never Know"

One more time in this game we play
Sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Placing pieces in the floor
Of all the things that we loved before

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

Hate me now so I can move on
Make it easier to see that you're gone
All the things they're gone too
Turn and changed into memories

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

New York City streets with friends by your side
Telling stories in words who've left us behind
All the things we'll never say
Leaving like puddles in the rain

Like puddles [x2]
in the rain

We wash away [x3]

Like puddles [x2]
in the rain

We wash away [x3]

"The Ballad Of Sal Villanueva"

It's not that I don't trust you
well I just know what you've been up too
and well this dial tone is agreeing with everything I've had in mind.
and you've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag.

so as his eyes move past your shoulder
and your shades start moving in the same direction
don't worry I, well I won't say a thing.
and you can't blame a girl for (you can't blame a girl for)
stickin' to what she knows..(stickin' to what she knows)

I hope he takes his time
and I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight
I hope that when he leaves,
you still smell him on your sheets
cause I can, I can.

if I could get to sleep
then, I guess you could stop pretendin'.
cause if I didn't think you loved it,
well then I wouldn't play along
and you've got your high as a (you've got your high as a)
kite tricks in the bag..(kite tricks in the bag)

I hope he takes his time
and I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight
I hope that when he leaves,
you still smell him on your sheets

while I play dumb,
it's cool cause I let you, thought I'd never catch you,
you'd say "we're only friends." yeah, real good friends, I bet. I bet.

forget your legs around my hips.
forget your hands pressed on my back.
forget the letters that I kept.
this is another I won't send.
forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs.
forget our one last kiss goodnight.
forget me stakin' out your house.
forget I've got you figured out.

forget your legs around my hips.
forget your hands pressed on my back.
forget the letters that I kept.
this is another I won't send

"Summer Stars"

Do you remember the time when you and i were fine
hiding under the apple tree there was no one but you and me
we would hide from passing cars and we would have the summer stars

and we were better then then we'd ever been before
you came back to me after walking out my door
you would call me on the phone before you even got home
without me you said you were all alone

the cold wind that blows all the things i used to know
how could it play so fast never thought you'd be part of my past
would i trade it all again to get you out of my head?

cause we were better then then we'd ever been before
you came back to me after walking out my door
you would call me on the phone before you even got home
without me you said you were all alone
alone
without me by your side
you said you were all alone
give me one more chance
to prove myself to you
all the little things that i long to do
...(when you run away)
would you trade the course
...(you said that you'd be)
so that i could hold you
...(coming out my front porch)
would it all go away
...(just to see me)
and my heart is breaking
would you hear me baby
as the tears are longing
for what it used to be

"Winter Passing"

Well, Jenny she says
She don't want no one around
Around when she dies
Well, be it of her own devices
Says I considered nearly everything
Prescription pills to diamond rings
Just nothing seems to stick
And I wouldn't want you to be the one to have to clean that up
So for now
I'm sticking around
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm a liar
Livin' a lie
Jenny she said
How would you remember me?
How would you remember me?
Yeah, would you remember me?
Cause I'm stuck in the middle
Between return-to-sender and get-up-and-go
(Get up, get up)
Get-up-and-go
(Get up, get up)
And I wouldn't want you to be the one to have to clean that up
So for now
I'm sticking around
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm a liar
Well, don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back)
Well, don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
Don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
Well, don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
You love me
Don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
Well, don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
Well, don't say you love me
You love me
(I'm never coming back, oh no)
I considered nearly everything
Prescription pills to diamond rings
Just nothing seems to stick
