A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Tou..
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 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.

Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Dododo. Dododo.
Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Nadada. Nadada. Nadadada. Dododo. Dododo.

Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
My heart is on my sleeve Wear it like a bruise or blackeye My badge, my witness That means that I believed Every single lie you said (and learned from the best)
cause every pain of glass that your pebbles tap
negates the pains I went through to avoid you and every little pat on the shoulder for attention
fails to mention I still hate you
But there's a light on in chicago and I know I should be home all the colors of the street signs...
they remind me of the pickup truck out in front of your neighbor's house
She took me down and said: "Boy's like you are overrated. So save your breath." Loaded words and loaded friends are loaded guns to our heads
You want apologies girl you might hold your breath
until your breathing stops forever The only thing you'll get is this curse on your lips:
I hope they taste of me forever
Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?
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.
I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying [me&you]n
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.)
Hum Hallelujah
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.
The Carpal Tunnel Of Love
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

Thriller
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!
Dead On Arrival
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:
GOLDEN
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...
The Pros And Cons Of Breathing
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.
Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today
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
Yule Shoot Your Eye Out
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

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

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying
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.
My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon
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.
Homesick At Spacecamp
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.
Fame < Infamy
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.

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?

I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You
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.
The Patron Sain't Of Liars And Fakes
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.
Moving Pictures
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...
Reinventing The Wheel To Run Myself Over
I could walk this fine line between elation and success, but we all know which way I'm going so strike the stake between my chest. Well "You have to prove yourself." You'll have to prove it to me.
So now you're waiting up for him...you're wasting time every time.
I can't do it by myself.
Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So
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
I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On
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…
Roxanne
Roxanne 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 (Roxanne) Put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light (Roxanne) 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 Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) You don't have to put on the red light (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 (Roxanne) You don't have to put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light Put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Put on the red light Put on the red light Put on the red light Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Put on the red light You don't have to put on the red light Put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light (Roxanne) You don't have to put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light (Roxanne) Put on the red light Put on the red light Put on the red light
Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year
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
