October Fall

"Second Chances"
(feat. Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy)

I'm sick of second chances
Cigarettes turn to ashes
I'm standing under street signs
To know the places I've been my whole life

I watch the hours pass us
Another one burns to ashes
I'm waiting for your phone call
To come and save me so you can break my fall

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I won't sleep tonight till you get home
I won't sleep tonight till you get home

My bed light's burning brighter
Worn out like a boxing fighter
You've got me fighting pillows
My eyes just won't close till you're at my side

The hours slip to morning
And I see the sun coming up
I'm turning off the TV.
I'm watching faster than you gave up on me

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I won't sleep tonight till you get home
I won't sleep tonight till you get home

I got your letters that you sent to me
And it feels like summer but your far away from me
When I need you here
I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I wont' sleep till you get home
I won't sleep tonight till you get home

"Tongue Tied"

Your head lays down upon this car
But I hate you for what you are
And what I have become
Fire burns within your lungs
So light yourself another smoke
And recreate what you call "home"
Make me feel like you care, moonlight shines
Down on your hair
And did I let you know how beautiful you look tonight
Your smile lights the sky
And all I ask is you save me your last dance...

Tick tock we dance to the beat
The clock spins, you spin into me
Feel my hands, I'm not shaking

Start flames to burn out
Start thinking out loud
Give me an ending
Then we'll stop pretending
If we stop pretending, we know where we're heading
'cause I said stop but I'm still spinning
They've said I've lost but I'm still winning
Burn quick and stand still
Speak slow to get though these words I couldn't
Say to you
I crack concrete falling down for you

Tick tock we dance to the beat
The clock spins as you spin into me
Feel my hands, I'm not shaking [2x]

Feel so t-t-t-tongue tied
I'm not shaking

"It Was Summer... (Baby Steps)"

And it was summer
Don't hide your sunburn
Wear that shirt that's cut so low
I know you loved her
But couldn't trust her
So lets take this extra slow
Sleeping in and we're nowhere near the weekend
Waking up inside a basement with my best friends
We chased our dreams from 9-5
But when the sun goes down is when we felt alive...

You say you'd never let this go
I say we forget what we know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far ahead
In summer heat we lose our clothes
And it won't hurt what they don't know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far, so far ahead...

Summer secrets keep me breathing
My old routine stopped repeating
And I'll never forget anything
That happened today
The days go by but we don't change
Dear summer, I won't forget you
Walk away but I won't let you
And I'll never forget anything
That happened today
The days go by but we don't change

You say you'd never let this go
I say we forget what we know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far ahead
In summer heat we lose our clothes
And it won't hurt what they don't know
Keep taking baby steps
We're still so far, so far ahead....

And here's the best part
It's got the best start
No one saw this coming from a mile away
So unexpected, I know you meant it
If I can't have you I'll dream about you
So I'll be sleeping because this dreaming
Is as close as I can get to getting close to you
So close my eyes, don't wake me up
Keep taking baby steps

"Walking"

She checks her watch, it's just past four
She's walking into the liquor store
She's inside out and quick to dream
With empty pockets she can barely breathe
And she waits...

Doesn't matter what they say
Just keep on walking by
You can open up their eyes
You'll get what's yours in time so
Just keep on wishing on the stars
Outside your window
I know my voice will guide you home

And the only change that comes her way are the nickels she finds at the entrance way
Will someone please clean up this mess
Her spilled milk life has stained her dress
She's on the floor
Someone get help
She lost control
Then she lost herself

Doesn't matter what they say
Just keep on walking by
You can open up their eyes
You'll get what's yours in time so
Just keep on wishing on the stars
Outside your window
I know my voice will guide you home
I know my voice will...

And she waits..
Doesn't matter what they say
Just keep on walking by
You can open up their eyes
You'll get what's yours in time so
Just keep on wishing on the stars outside your window
I know my voice will guide you home
I know my voice will guide you...

"Keep Dreaming Upside Down"
(feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)

I was burning up to fall apart
And the walls fall down around my heart
Now I'm feeling sick. it's always something lately
I was broken down, but still looked good
I was kissing clocks, you knew I would
Now I'm feeling scared,
Someone say that they miss this

The night is young
We wait for love
Upside down we dream
At home we sleep
And wait to leave
Upside down we dream
And we are all brighter than stars back home

Don't leave so fast
I was in the sun, but feeling cold
I was grapping tight, but lost a hold
Now who'd want to stay?
While we're all here changing

I was ripped apart, but held by glue
I was full of lies, but spoke the truth
Now I've lost my myself, oh I forgot how this felt

The night is young
We wait for love
Upside down we dream
At home we sleep
And wait to leave
Upside down we dream
And we are all brighter than the stars back home

Don't leave so fast, don't leave so fast.

"Caught In The Rain"

It's a heart break, that you can't fix up
It's a last try, when you've lost your luck
It's a bad day, another bad day.
It's a last chance, when they've given up
It's a bad ride, falling out of love
Can you take it?
'cause I can't take it...

It's starting up and never stopping again

When the rain starts shaking the ground
I hope that you're ready now.
I hope you're ready for it when you
Get caught out in the rain. I hope you're ready now
For all the storms to head your way

It's a long drive, when you've got no gas
It's a cheap date, when you're out of cash
It's a bad day, another bad day
It's a feeling, when you've lost your touch
It's a plane ride, if on the right drugs
And can you take it?
Honestly, I can't take it...

It's starting up and never stopping again

When the rain starts shaking the ground
I hope that you're ready now
I hope that you're ready for it when you
Get caught out in the rain. I hope you're ready now
For all the storms to come your way

We'll find ourselves inside the raindrops
We'll fight the seconds inside every clock
What's keeping you from leaving?
The newspapers are reading
Get out save yourself before we're burning in hell
When sun is what you're chasing
But everyday is raining
Pockets full of silver dimes
I hope you're ready for this time...

"Here We Go From The Top"

Here we go from the top let's restart
But the only thing she starts is her car
To drive away from the thing that she hates
And I'm the only thing she leaves behind

And here we go from the top, don't give in
You're giving up but you're still kissing him
You're sliding to the famous spot in your room
Getting closer, closer to the closer
Beauty queen, knows how to make this hurt
Beauty queen, knows how to make this...

Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Don't give yourself away

Here we go from the top she slides down
To the bottom of the bed like she drowned
Under the sheets for another "I love you"
And here she goes from the top, here he goes here he goes

Chained down, you lay down
To give yourself away
Before you give in
Just give yourself away
She's the type of girl
When you leave the room
Handle turn, lock the door
She's smooth at the hips
And I never though
She would feel like this

Beauty queen knows how to make this hurt...

"If We're All Alone, Aren't We In This Together?"

Start up the engine
Lets get out by heading away from here
And there's no next year for me here
Take hits and pass it
And let all the ashes fall to the floor
Once you have it all, you'll still want more
Take my innocence away, would they even notice
Either way?
My visions blurred, can you tell I'm a kid that was
Not into going to church?

The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns black
Lets burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash

Start up the fire
Lets burn this place straight down,
Down to the ground
If no one makes a sound then I'll say,
Let's use my lighter
In life we're the writers to our own books
I've written mine on lies and catchy hooks
Lets dance around the mess we've made
Call someone up let's score an 8th
To sit and relax
There's nothing we can do about the past

The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns to black
Lets burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash

Someone sees smoke, call 911
Let's let this burn until it's done

Don't walk away. lets let them see the
Mess that we became
Sirens flashing, here's the cops
Don't blame this on not having jobs but dreams
And I see things cause I'm not afraid to
Think outside the box
And now I'm shaking, I hope I'm making
Perfect sense so place your best
To see where I end up and oh my god this
Place is so messed up

Rip me apart to see my insides
Compose myself I'm not secure
And don't believe a single thing
That you have heard
Throw my pride into this fire
My confidence is dead, I'm tired
Who's giving up? (I'm giving up)
I won't burn out, I'll just burn up
And I was raised on excellence
Always taught to look my best
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget
Villains die and heroes live forever
Tragic endings get remembered
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget....

They won't forget you in the end.

"A Part Of Me"

So what are we looking for,
When we've got all we need
And what are we sleeping for, when we've got
Nothing to dream for...
So where are we looking to,
When inside empty rooms
Will you believe the invisible to fill the faith in
Time we lose

Oh I'm having trouble breathing,
Please come and rescue me
I can feel something leaving
That was a part of me

And it's me that you break
But you know I can take it
But no matter what breaks
You'll sill be a part of me

So what are we waiting for
When all our friends are here
And what are we changing for,
When we liked who we were before
So where are we looking to,
When inside empty rooms
Will you believe in this part of me and were me
Like a new tattoo?

Oh I'm having trouble breathing
It's too late to rescue me
I can feel something leaving
That was a part of me

And its me that you break
But you know I can take it
But no matter what breaks
You'll still be a part of me

I can see what is happening
It's aright to be afraid
I can see what is happening
It's too late for me to be saved

So what are we looking for,
When we've got all we need
And what are we sleeping for, when we've got
Nothing to dream for...
I can see what is happening

"Keep It Coming"

I'm turning, twisting in my bed just laying down
Your hands all over me
She whispers softly
"lets move it to the ground"
Take it down like a pill and let it digest
And feel the change in the pit of my chest
When you wake up undress
I'm messed up and choked just another time that
You fucked up

Your eyes got a hold on me and they've got me
Sinking in cement
Don't panic, breathe
When you're walking out on me

Been spending these last years just waiting around
Not gonna sit here and watch what we both
Believed in pass me by
Take it down like a pill and let it digest
And feel the change in the pit of your chest
When I woke up you left
I'm messed up and choked just another time that
You fucked up

Your eyes got a hold on me and they've got me
Sinking in cement
Don't panic, breathe
When you're walking out on me

Keep it comin' or I'm gonna let you down
Keep it comin' don't you bother to come back now
Keep it comin' cause I'm gonna let you down
Just don't talk
Just don't talk
Keep it comin' this is done when I leave town
Keep it comin' you know I'll go one more round
Keep it comin' cause I'm gonna let you down
Just don't talk
Just listen
Turn on the TV to find out what you're missing

Your eyes got a hold on me and they've got me Sinking in cement
Don't' panic, breathe
When you're walking out on me

"Hey Hey"

Hey hey, look it
You came around again
Didn't think we'd see you again with how things ended back then
Hey hey old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar, lets sit around
And play our favorite song...

Our bodies breath off the city streetlights
That set our watches because tonight's the night
Everyone get out your cameras
Tonight's a night to remember

My heart's in sync with these constant memories
When I look back I wish I had more of these
Never land is just around the corner
I'm done with this "getting older"

Hey hey, look it
You came around again
Didn't' think we'd see you with out things ended back then
Hey hey, old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar lets sit around
And play our favorite song...

Here we are in my car
Driving under the same lucky stars
That we wished on when we were kids
Let me hear you say "hey kid, I miss this"

Hey hey, look it
You came around again
Didn't' think we'd see you
With out things ended back then
Hey hey, old friend
I think it's been too long
Grab the guitar lets sit around
And play our favorite song...
