Confessional - Thick As Thieves Lyrics
Would it kill you to breathe
easy?
Only 17 miles lay between
you and me
I could make it if I had
to
I don't break easily
You got my council, thick
as thieves
If there's a crime, we'll
keep it secret
For there's only trace amounts
left in your blood
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right
Will it kill me to breathe?
Not as easy as you think
it is
Between you and me,
I could fake it if I have
to
I don't break easily
I need your council, thick
as thieves
I have no crime to keep
a secret
It was hers, it was not
mine
Well I may be a sinner,
But it wasn't me this time
Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right
Well, listen to yourself
There is a hemmorage in
your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
Well, you may be the trigger
I will hold the smoking
gun
You'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets 'til
the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a
tortured soul they're burning by my side
That I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie
So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right
Don't Wait
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
O-o-oh...
The sky glows.
I see it shining when my
eyes close.
I hear your warnings but
we both know,
I'm gonna look at it again.
Don't wait,
Don't wait,
The road is now,
A sudden sea, and suddenly,
You're deep enough to lay
your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.
You get one look.
I'll show you something
that the knife took,
A bit too early for my own
good.
Now let's not speak of it
again.
Don't wait,
Don't wait,
The road is now,
A sudden sea, and suddenly,
You're deep enough to lay
your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
O-o-oh...
Don't wait,
Don't wait.
The lights will flash, and
fade away.
The days will pass you by.
Don't wait...to lay your
armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down,
To lay your armor down.
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh...
Secret's in the Telling
The signal is subtle.
We pass just close enough
to touch,
No questions, no answers.
We know by now to say enough,
With only simple words;
With only subtle turns.
The things we feel alone
for one another.
There is a secret that we
keep.
I won't sleep if you won't
sleep,
Because tonight may be the
last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what
we must do.
We are compelled to do what
we have been forbidden.
So I won't sleep if you
won't sleep tonight.
Our act of defiance.
We keep this secret in our
blood.
No paper or letters.
We pass just close enough
to touch.
We love in secret names.
We hide within our veins,
The things that keep us
bound to one another.
There is a secret that we
keep.
I won't sleep if you won't
sleep,
Because tonight may be the
last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what
we must do.
We are compelled to do what
we have been forbidden.
Until the last resilient
hope,
Is frozen deep inside my
bones,
And this broken fate has
claimed me,
And my memories for its
own.
Your name is pounding through
my veins.
Can't you hear how it is
sung?
And I can taste you in my
mouth,
Before the words escape
my lungs.
And I'll whisper only once...
There is a secret that we
keep.
I won't sleep if you won't
sleep,
Because tonight may be the
last chance we'll be given.
We are compelled to do what
we have to.
We are compelled to do what
we have been forbidden.
'Cause you will be somebody's
girl,
And you will keep each other
warm,
But tonight I am feeling
cold

Confessional - So Long, So Long
Hand out the window
Floatin' on air
Just a flip of the wrist
And I am wavin' you goodbye
Drive past the lifeguard
stand
Where I sit around waiting
for you to remember
As I drive
How the girls could turn
to ghosts before your eyes
And the very dreams that
led to them are keeping them from dying
And how the grace with which
she walked into your life
Will stay with you in your
steps,
And pace with you a while
So long, so long [x2]
The speaker in this door
is blown
So nothing sounds quite
right
Takin' my time, takin' this
drive, wavin' this town goodbye,
And I drive this ocean road
and remember
The small of your back
And the nape of your neck
I remember everything as
I drive, wavin' this town goodbye
I remember
How the girls can turn to
ghosts before your eyes
And the very dreams that
led to them are keeping them from dying
And how the grace with which
she walked into your life
Will stay with you in your
steps,
Pace with you a while
So long, so long...
And I will leave under the
cover
Of summer's kiss upon the
sky
Like the stone face of your
lover
Just before she says goodbye
I was certain that the season
could be held between my arms
Well just as summer's hold
is fleeting
I was here but now I'm gone...
I'm gone... I'm gone, I'm
gone
I'm gone...

Confessional - Stolen (Duet Version)
(Feat. Juli)
We watch the season
Pull up it's own stakes
And catch the last weekend
Of the last week
Before the gold and the
glimmer have been replaced
Another sun soaked season
fades away
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
Invitation only
Grant farewells
Crash the best one
Of the best ones
Clear liquor and cloudy
eyed
Too early to say goodnight
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
And from the ball room floor
We are in celebration
One good stretch before
our hibernation
Our dreams assured and we
all
Will sleep well
Sleep Well
Sleep Well
Sleep Well
Sleep Well
You have stolen
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart
Watch you spin around
In your highest heels
You are the best one
Of the best ones
We
All
Look
Like
We
Feel
You have stolen
You have stolen
You have stolen my heart
Reason to Believe
Oh, sweet lungs don't fail
me now.
Your burning has turned
into fear;
Drills me in my every step.
I'm moving quick, but you're
always on my heels.
Just one more breath, I
beg you please.
Just one more step, my knees
are weak.
My heart is sturdy, but
it needs you to survive.
My heart is sturdy, but
it needs you.
Breathe, don't you want
to breathe?
I know that you are strong
enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream; there's
nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to
cross that line.
Will you carry me there
one more time?
Steady lungs, don't fail
me now.
I feel you bursting, but
you won't let me die.
Fill me up with every step.
I'm feeling sick, but I'm
leaving it behind.
Just one long breath, I
beg you please.
Just one more step, you
are not weak.
My legs are sturdy, but
they need you to survive.
My heart is sturdy, but
I need you.
Breathe, don't you want
to breathe,
And know that you are strong
enough to handle what I need?
My capillaries scream; there's
nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to
cross that line.
Will you carry me there
once more?
Once more.
I have reason to believe
that I have victories to taste.
I can feel them on my teeth,
upon my lips, and in my chest.
I can roll them on my tongue,
they are more supple than defeat.
I feel the tension in my
lungs and every move is filled by my resolve to,
Breathe, don't you want
to breathe?
I know that you are strong
enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream; there's
nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to
cross that line.
Will you carry me there
one more time?
Stolen
You watch the season pull
up its own stakes,
And catch the last weekend
of the last week,
Before the gold and the
glamour have been replaced.
Another sun soaked season
fades away.
You have stolen my heart.
You have stolen my heart.
Invitation only grand farewells.
Crash the best one, of the
best ones.
Clear liquor and cloudy
eyed, too early to say goodnight.
You have stolen my heart.
You have stolen my heart.
And from the bar room floor
we are a celebration.
One good stretch before
our hibernation.
Our dreams assured and we
all will sleep well, sleep well.
Sleep well, sleep well,
sleep well.
You have stolen,
You have stolen,
You have stolen my heart.
I watch you spin around
in the highest heels.
You are the best one, of
the best ones.
We all look like we feel.
You have stolen my,
You have stolen my,
You have stolen my heart.
Dashboard Confessional
- Rooftops and Invitations
The first time you looked
at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took,
took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth,
bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need
another touch, another taste, another fix
She just might get you lost
And she just might leave
you torn
But she just might save
your soul
If she gets you when she
gets you any closer
She leads you up, points
out skylines and stars, steeple chases in bars
And took your keys and demanded
that you stay
The city longs well for
rooftops and invitations
All lace in secret places,
she moves you to touch with her hands
And she just might get you
lost
And she just might leave
you torn
But she just might save
your soul
If she gets you when she
gets you any closer
Under the cold sheet, where
the welcomed touch of skin and skin will meet
Out on the inside where
a girls prize is at the tip of your tongue
Where every move and each
impulse brings clarity
To stay like this is everything
you'll ever need
She just might get you lost
And she just might leave
you torn
But she just might save
your soul
But she gets you any closer
Can you believe your eyes
Dashboard Confessional
- Currents
The air is visible around
you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
And i watch as your face
is framed in its slow currents
Drifting curls a trailing
path
A long drag becomes a dress
of blue and ash
If it is born in flames then
we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
And if its gotta end then
let it end in flames
Let it burn all the way
down
The air is visceral around
us Turning in its simple steps on slow currents and I watch as it pirouettes
and spins in slow motion A long drag becomes a slow dance and a halo around
her
If it is born in flames then
we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
And if its gotta end then
let it end in flames
Let it burn all the way
down, all the way down
And if this is ever meant
to end, then i hope it ends where it began
So hot with love, we burned
our hands
If this is ever meant to
end, then i hope it ends where it began
So hot with love, it burns
our hands
If it is born in flames then
we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
If its gotta end then let
it end in flames
Let it burn, let it burn
If its gotta end let it
burn
If its gotta end let it
burn
It ends where it began,
so hot with love, it burns our hands
