7
Minutes In Heaven
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
in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate
type
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
in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate
type
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
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate
type
But you've got me looking
in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate
type
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
Champagne For My Real
Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends
You are a getaway car,
a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the
covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear
view mirror, you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't
ask you where you've been
With your backless black
dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done
they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're
friends
Just because we move
units
Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the
scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is
trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the
flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
The sounds of this small
town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt)
Oh yeah, you caught me.
But I caught you one worse
They say, "You want a
war? You've got a war."
But who are you fighting
for?
The tides out, the ship's
run aground
We drown traitors in
shallow water
With your backless black
dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done
they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're
friends
Just because we move
units
Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the
scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is
trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the
flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Everyone is trying, everyone
is shining
Everyone deserves the
flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Strike us like matches,
cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the
scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is
trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the
flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
A Little Less Sixteen
Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"
I confess, I{'m just}
messed up
dropping "I'm sorry"
like you're still around
And I know you dressed
up
{said} "hey kid you'll
never live this down"
And 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
(always on, 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
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 stairs to the
emergency exit door
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 (I say, I say, 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
And 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 stairs to the
emergency exit door
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, no
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 keyholes
I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
[x2]
To the love I left my
conscience pressed [x3]
Between the pages of
the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do
for me" I say |
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
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
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
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
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 a 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
I Slept With Someone
In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song...
I found the cure to growing
older
And you're the only place
that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll
never know
And some secrets weren't
meant to be told
I found the cure to growing
older
I'm the first kid to
write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience
called in sick again
And I've got arrogance
down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first
kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap
perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting
of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Find a safe place, brace
yourself, bite your lip
I'm sending your fingernails
and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause
I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe
place, brace yourself
They call kids like us
vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become,
we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've
got against what I left
So progress report: I
am missing you to death
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap
perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting
of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found a cure to growing
older
I found a cure to growing
older
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap
perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting
of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
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 moons
I’m mailing letters to
addresses in a ghost town
(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
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 [x4]
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, don't, don't matter
[Talking:]
From day one I talked
about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are
letting out
He said why put a new
address
On the same old loneliness
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 loneliness
And this is you and me
And me and you
Until we've got nothing
left |
