FALL OUT BOY, פול אאוט בוי, ליריקה 2

i confess, I messed up.
Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around.
And I know you dressed up.
"Hey kid, you'll never live this down."

'Cause you're just the girl all the boys want to dance with.
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances.

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming.
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you,
But you can't blame me for hating it.
So say, "What are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her."
I set my clocks early cause I know I'm always late.

Write me off, give up on me.
'Cause darling what did you expect?
I'm just off, a lost cause, a long shot, don't even take this bet.

You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights,
Get all the sighs and the moans just right.

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming.
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you,
But you can't blame me for hating it.
So say, "What are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her."
I set my clocks early cause I know I'm always late.

I'm just always on.
You said you'd keep me honest,
(Always on, always on.)
But I won't call you on it.
(Always on, always on.)

I don't blame you for being you,
But you can't blame me for hating it.
So say, "What are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her."
I set my clocks early cause I know I'm always late.
I set my clocks early cause I know I'm always late.

I'm sleeping my way out of this one,
With anyone who will lie down.
I'll be stuck fixated on one star,
When the world is crashing down.

I keep telling myself,
I keep telling myself,
I'm not the desperate type,
But you've got me looking through blinds.

I keep telling myself,
I keep telling myself,
I'm not the desperate type.

I'm sitting out dances on the wall.
Trying to forget everything that isn't you.
I'm not going home alone,
'Cause I don't do too well.
Sitting out dances on the wall.
Trying to forget everything that isn't you.
I'm not going home alone,
'Cause I don't do too well on my own.

The only thing worse than not knowing,
Is you thinking that I don't know.
I'm having another episode.
I just need a stronger dose.

I keep telling myself,
I keep telling myself,
I'm not the desperate type,
But you've got me looking through blinds.

I keep telling myself,
I keep telling myself,
I'm not the desperate type.

I'm sitting out dances on the wall.
Trying to forget everything that isn't you.
I'm not going home alone,
'Cause I don't do too well.
Sitting out dances on the wall.
Trying to forget everything that isn't you.
I'm not going home alone,
'Cause I don't do too well on my own.

Whoa oh oh oh.
Whoa oh oh oh.
A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insides,
Or a fortune for your disaster.
And I'm just a painter and I'm drawing a blank.

We only want to sing you to sleep,
In your bedroom speakers, whoa.
We need umbrellas on the inside.
Get me just right.

They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.

Oh oh oh oh.

I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all.
And I can't stop feeling sorry for myself.
Whoa.

We only want to sing you to sleep,
In your bedroom speakers, whoa.
We need umbrellas on the inside.
Get us right.

They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.
They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.

We only want to sing you to sleep.
(Your bedroom speakers, whoa.)
We only want to sing you to sleep.

They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank on a sinking ship.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.
They say quitters never win,
But we walk the plank and we walk the plank.
There's a world outside of my front door,
That gets off on being down.

We're broken down on memory lane.
We're alone together, we're alone. (Woah.)
We're broken down on memory lane.
We're alone together, we're alone.

Last year's wishes,
Are this year's apologies.
Every last time I come home,
I take my last chance,
To burn a bridge or two.
I only keep myself this sick in the head,
'Cause I know how the words get you.

We're the new face of failure.
Prettier and younger but not any better off.
Bulletproof loneliness,
At best.
At best.

Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)

Collect the bad habits,
That you couldn't bare to keep,
Out of the woods but I love,
A tree I used to lay beneath.
Kiss teeth stained red,
From a sour bottle, baby girl,
With eyes the size of baby worlds.

We're the new face of failure.
Prettier and younger but not any better off.
Bulletproof loneliness,
At best.
At best.

Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)

The best,
Way to make it through,
With hearts and wrists intact
Is to realize,
Two out of three ain't bad.
Ain't bad.

Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me And you,
(Honeymoon.)
Setting in a honeymoon.
(A honeymoon.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(If I woke up next to you.)
Me and you,
Setting in a honeymoon.
If I woke up next to you.
(Honeymoon.)

It's all a game of this or that.
Now verses then,
Better off against worse for wear.
And you're someone,
Who knows someone who knows someone,
I once knew,
And I just want to be a part of this.

The road outside my house,
Is paved with good intentions.
Hired a construction crew,
'Cause it's hell on the engine.
You are the dreamer,
And we are the dream.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.
So...

Hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason.
I thought I loved you.
It was just how you looked in the light.
Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."
I sing the blues,
And swallow them too.

My words are my faith.
To hell with our good name.
A remix of your guts.
Your insides x-rayed.
And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster.
We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop.

I love you in the same way,
There's chapel in a hospital.
One foot in your bedroom,
And one foot out the door.
Sometimes we take chances.
Sometimes we take pills.
I could write it better than you ever felt it.
So...

Hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason.
I thought I loved you.
It was just how you looked in the light.
Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."
I sing the blues,
And swallow them too.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu...

Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."
I sing the blues,
And swallow them too
So...

Hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason.
I thought I loved you.
It was just how you looked in the light.

Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."
Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."
Our teenage vow in a parking lot,
"Till tonight do us part."

I sing the blues,
And swallow them too.

We take sour sips,
From life's lush lips
And we shake shake shake the hips,
In relationships
Stomp out this disaster town
You'll put your eyes to the sun and say, "I know,
You're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding."
And we might have started singing just a little soon
We're throwing the stones at a glass moon

Whoa, ah, oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, ah, oh, far from the genuinely cunning
Whoa, ah, oh.

We keep the beat,
With your blistered feet.
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds, singing,
"Slept through the weekend,
And dreaming,
Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
Got postcardsfrom my former selves, saying, "How you been?""
We might've said good byes just a little soon
(Stomp out this disaster town.)
Woooah.
Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon

Whoa, ah, oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, ah, oh, far from the genuinely cunning
Whoa, ah, oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, ah, oh, far from the genuinely cunning

It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche,
When the pearls in our shells got up to dance
You call me a bad tipper of the cradle,
But I'm just tired yawns for fawns on hunters lawns
We're the hasbeens of the husbands
Sharpening the knives of young wives
Take two years and call me when you're better
Take tears of mine and find yourself wetter

Whoa, ah, oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, ah, oh, far from the genuinely cunning
Whoa, ah, oh, we're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, ah, oh, far from the genuinely cunning

i dried my eyes, now i crust them with sleep

Yeah, what you critics said would never happen,
we dedicate this album to anybody who people said couldn't make it.
To the fans who held us down
'til everybody came around. Welcome, its here!

Last summer we took threes across the board,
But by fall we were a cover story,
Now in stores.
Make us poster boys for your scene.
But we are not making an acceptance speech.
I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes.
Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update.

So long live the car-crash hearts.
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life.
Fix me in 45.

So long live the car-crash hearst.
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life.
Fix me in 45.

I can take your problems away,
With a nod and a wave of my hand,
'Cause that's just the kind of boy that I am.
The only thing I haven't done yet is die.
And it's me and my plus one in the afterlife.
Crowds are won and lost and won again,
But our hearts for the diehards.

So long live the car-crash hearts.
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life.
Fix me in 45.

So long live the car-crash hearts.
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life.
Fix me in 45.

Long live the car-crash hearts.

So long live the car-crash hearts.
Cry on the couch, all the poets come to life.
Fix me in 45.

Yung, FOB
Lets go!

I hope this is the last time, because I'd never say no to you.
This conversation's been dead on arrival.
There's no way to talk to you.
When you're dead on.

A rivalry goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you.

This is side one
Flip me over
I know I'm not you're favorite record.
The songs you grow to like never stick at first.
So I'm writing you a chorus, and here is your verse:

How cruel is the golden rule,
When the lives we lived are only golden plated.
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me,
Though I carried carats for everyone to see.
And I saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies.
And all the lovers with no time for me.
And all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me.

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams,
Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens.
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me,
(Too heavy for me.)
Though I carried carats for everyone to see.
(Everyone to see.)
And I saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies.
And all the lovers with no time for me.
And all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me,
And pray they don't grow up to be...

Bury me standing under your window with the cinder block in hand
Yeah cause no one will ever feel like this again
And if I could move I'm sure it would only be to crawl back to you
I must have dragged my guts a block...they were gone by the time we (talked)...

I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But you know that I could crush you with my voice

Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details I don't want to know a thing

I hate the way you say my name like it's something secret
My pen is the barrel of the gun. Remind me which side you should be on.

I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel.

Light that smoke for giving up on me
And one just cause they'll kill you sooner than my expectations
To my favorite liar, to my favorite scar:
"I could have died with you"
I hope you choke on those words, that kiss, that bottleNow ash yourself out on the insides, when I said I loved you I swear I lied

Let's play this game called "when you catch fire"
I wouldn't piss to put you out
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them
So I can forget about you

So bury me in memory
His smile's your rope
Wrap it tight around your throat

On the drive home
Joke about the kid you used to see
And his jealousy
Breaking hearts has never looked so cool
As when you wrap your car around a tree
Your makeup looks great next to his teeth

These are your good years
don't take my advice
you never wanted the nice boys anyway
and I'm of good cheer
cause I've been checking my list
the gifts you're receiving from me
will be

one awkward silence
and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
staying up, waiting by the phone
and all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me
before you bury yourself alive

don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree
merry Christmas, I could care less

happy new years baby
you owe me
the best gift I will ever ask for
don't call me up, when the snow comes down
its the only thing I want this year

one awkward silence
and two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
staying up, waiting by the phone
all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me
before you bury yourself alive

don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree
merry Christmas, I could care less

don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree (don't come home for Christmas)
merry Christmas, I could care less

don't come home for Christmas
you're the last thing I wanna see
underneath the tree (don't come home for Christmas)
merry Christmas, I could care less

I comb the crowd and pick you out.
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out.
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed,
“To I swear, I say.”
"To I swear, I say."
To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes,”
To drinks at the club to the bar,
To the keys to your car,
To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door.
No.

To the love, I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer.
“What did it ever do for me?” I say.
It never calls me when I'm down.
Love never wanted me,
But I took it anyway.
Put your ear to the speaker,
And choose love or sympathy,
But never both.
Love never wanted me.

“I hoped you choked,
And crashed your car.”
Hey “tear catcher”, that's all that you are,
Ever were,
From the start.
I swear, I say. (I swear, I say.)

To hands between legs, to “whatever it takes,”
To drinks at the club, to the bar,
To the keys to your car,
To hotel stares/stairs, to the emergency exit door.
No.

To the love, I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer.
“What did it ever do for me?” I say.
It never calls me when I'm down.
Love never wanted me,
But I took it anyway.
Put your ear to the speaker,
And choose love or sympathy,
But never both.

To the “love” I left my conscience pressed.
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell.
Loose lips sink ships.

To the “love” I left my conscience pressed.
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell.
Loose lips sink ships.

To the “love” I left my conscience pressed.
Through the keyhole I watched you dress,
Kiss and tell.
Loose lips sink ships.

To the “love” I left my conscience pressed.
To the “love” I left my conscience pressed.
To the “love” I left my conscience pressed,
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer.
"What did it ever do for me?" I say.

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.
But we never stood a chance,
And I'm not sure if it matters.
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moo-oons-oo-oo-oons.
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town.
No-o-o.

Your secret's out.
I know this hurts, it was meant to. (It was meant to.)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one.
And it's mind over you don't don't matter.

This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.
But it must be said again that all us boys are just screaming,
Into microphones for attention,
Because we're just so bored-a-ored-a-or-a-or-a-ored .
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh,
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts.

Your secret's out.
I know this hurts, it was meant to. (It was meant to.)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one.
And it's mind over you don't don't matter.

I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you.
Tell me you'd like boys like me better,
In the dark lying on top of you.
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.
This has been said so many times that I'm not sure if it matters.

I know this hurts, it was meant to. (It was meant to, yeah.)
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one.
And it's mind over you don't don't don't don't matter.

From day one I talked about getting out.
But not forgetting about,
How all my worst fears are letting out.
He said why put a new address on the same old lonliness?
When breathing just passes the time,
Until we all just get old and die.
Now talking's just a waste of breath,
And living's just a waste of death.
And why put a new address on the same old lonliness?
And this is you and me and me and you until we've got nothing left.

Spent most of last night
dragging this lake
for the corpses of all my past mistakes
sell me out, the jokes on you
he is salt and you are the wound

empty another bottle
and let me tear you to pieces
this is me wishing you into the worst situations
i'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go
but you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat
whoa whoa oooh whoa whoa

your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don't care
cause i know
that you're in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats where you shouldn't be asleep
now i'll teach you a lesson for keeping secrets from me

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while
take your taste back peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while

and did you hear the news
i could dissect you and gut you on this stage
not as eloquent as i may have imagined
but it will get the job done
you're done

every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing on your bedroom windows ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while

take your taste back peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while

I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm,
When you passed out.
I couldn't bring myself to call,
Except to call it quits.

Best friends.
Ex-friends till the end.
Better off as lovers,
And not the other way around.
Racing through the city,
Windows down,
In the back of yellow checkered cars.

This city says...

Come hell or high water.
Well, I'm feeling hot and wet.
I can't commit to a thing,
Be it heart or hospital.

Best friends.
Ex-friends till the end.
Better off as lovers,
And not the other way around.
Racing through the city,
Windows down,
In the back of yellow checkered cars.

The tombstones were waiting.
They were half-engraved.
They knew it was over,
Just didn't know the date.

And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me,
The same way I think of you.
This is a love song in my own way.
Happily ever after below the waist

Best friends.
Ex-friends till the end.
Better off as lovers.
Racing through the city,
Windows down,
In the back of yellow checkered cars.

Best friends.
Ex-friends till the end.
Better off as lovers,
And not the other way around.
Ex-friends till the end.
Better off as lovers.

Landing on a runway in Chicago and I'm grounding all my dreams of ever really seeing California, because I know what's in between is something sensual in such non

Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.

Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away.

Tonight is all about "We miss you."

And I can't forget your style or your cynicism, somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said.

My smile's an open wound without you...and my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back.

These friends are, new friends are golden.

I'm a preacher sweating in the pews,
For the salvation I'm bringing you.
I'm a salesman, I'm selling you hooks and plans,
And myself for making demands.

When I'm home alone I just dance by myself.
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth.
Signing off, "I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen."
The kid was alright but it went to his head.

I am god's gift, but why would he bless me with,
Such wit without a conscience equipped.
I'm addicted to the way I feel when I think of you, woah.
"There's too much green to feel blue."

When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself.
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth.
Signing off, "I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen."
The kid was alright but it went to his head.

When I'm home alone I just can't stop myself.
And you pull my head so close, volume goes with the truth.
Signing off, "I'm all right in bed but I'm better with a pen."
"I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen."
"I'm alright in bed but I'm better with a pen."
The kid was alright but it went to his head.

She's shallow like the shoreline during low tide
but my hopes are not quite as high
can't spot her faults, but she spotted mine
she left me for herself
considering i would too

go figure
im bigger than that
go figure
im bigger than that

the battle's only halfway done
i might look young
but i'm no less defeated
how's the weather up there?

she left me for herself
considering i would too.

good god, i wish i was tall
good god i wish
good god, i wish i was tall
good god i wish
good god i wish i was tall
good god i wish
good god i wish i was tall

go figure,
im bigger than that
go figure,
im bigger than that
go figure,
im bigger than that
go figure,
im bigger than that

how's the weather up there?
good God i wish i was tall

Well, joke me something awful, just like kisses on the necks of best friends.
We're the kids who feel like dead ends.
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses.
I took a shot and didn't even come close.
At trust and love and hope.
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it,
And never had it at all.

And the record won't stop skipping.
And the lies just won't stop slipping.
And besides my reputations on the line.
We can fake it for the airwaves.
Force our smiles, baby, half dead,
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

Please put the doctor on the phone, because I'm not making any sense.

Blame everyone but me for this mess.
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart.
We never seemed so far.
I'm hopelessly hopeful. You're just hopeless enough.
But we never had it at all.

And the record won't stop skipping.
And the lies just won't stop slipping.
And besides my reputations on the line.
We can fake it for the airwaves.
Force our smiles, baby, half dead.
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

To everyone else around me.
Everyone else around me.
Everyone else around me.

I'm holding out and I'm holding on to every letter and every grudge.
I pulled myself out of the day we ever had to meet.
Are you through with me?

When it all goes to hell will you be able to tell me you're sorry with a straight face.

I'm all ears and I'm all scars to hear you tell me "Boy's like you try so hard to not look desperate."
I'm hanging on. But I still know the way to make your makeup run.

Take this to your grave and I'll take it to mine.

last night i saw a movie
and i thought about many movies ive seen at your house
excuse me if im rude
but id rather that we just strike from the record ones id see again without you
leaning on my shoulder
distracting me from the plotline

where can i go when i want you around
but i cant stand to be around you
"go home"
ill walk myself to you
ill walk myself away from here

"go to hell" is all i thought for seven weeks
but i grew out of that phase looking at these broken photographs of people
looking glossed just like a summer ago

where can i go when i want you around
but i cant stand to be around you
"go home"
ill walk myself to you
ill walk myself away from here

"call me back" im pleading with a cork in my head
it wouldnt be the first time
my pillow has been mistaken

where can i go when i want you around
but i cant stand to be around you
"go home"
ill walk myself to you
ill walk myself away from here

cant stand to be around you
around you, around you
cant stand to be around you
cant stand, i cant stand
to be around you
around you
around you
around you
around you...

Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice 'cause we are bad news
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless

The ribbon on my wrist says:
"Do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense

Brothers and sisters-put these words down
Into your notebook, spit lines like these:
"We're friends when you're on your knees"
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says:
"Do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense

You're a canary,
I'm a coal mine,
'Cause sorrow is just all the rage.
Take one for the team.
You all know what I mean.

And I'm so sorry,
But not really.
Tell the boys where to find my body.
New York eyes,
Chicago thighs,
Pushed up the window to kiss you off.

The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.
The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.

Do you remember the way,
I held your hand,
Under the lamppost,
And ran,
Ohh, this way so many times,
I could close my eyes.

The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.
The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.

The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.
The truth hurts worse,
Than anything I could bring myself to do,
To you.

The truth…

The truth…

Ohhh…

You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

(Roxanne) Put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up (oh)
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And another around to help us bend your trust
I've got sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up

Are we growing up or just going down
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
