Sweets for the sweet, i think that's what i said

I love the way you smile when your'e with me,
like the brightest ray of sun on the gloomiest day
and i love the way your seem to see everything
but somehow manage to stay focused on me

it's like everything i ever wished for came bundled up in you
and i just can't keep my eyes away from you
and I love the way you float across the room
hiding your wings, but i can seem them in the gloom

and i looked up in the sky, and saw the sunlight shingin bright
but I love the way you put it's rays to shame
every time i catch a glimpse of your perfect frame
and I looked up in the sky of this lonely desert town
saw the stars all trying just to keep your glowing down
but i love the way their efforts never seem make you frown

and i love the way the friction between us
is throwing sparks on everything around us
and if we're not careful we'll burn this building down,
we'll burn this building down

and oh i love the way the tension between us
is making sparks hit everything around us
and i love the way we bring these buildings down
we bring these buildings down all around us

and i love the way the terror between us
is something we've never even felt
but it'll bring this city down like nothing else
(all around us)
and i love the way we bring this city down
(all around us)
and i love the way i'm wrapped around your finger
anything for you sweetheart, I'm willing and eager

Cardiomyopathy

it's so simple I thought, but you complicate everything,
and one more glimpse of being sought, but you complicate everything
so paint your face up something nice, like a work of art
and it was just like a movie's porn, you're a terrible actress
bad costumes to match this, hope you give up soon cause i can't take much more of this

and i tried to fight this infection, i really did, i really did,
took all the right pills and all those injections, i really did, i really did
but you complicated everything, you really did, you really did

lying on a gurney, and lying to the surgeon
"oh, no I don't smoke, oh, no I don't drink.
oh, no I won't ever think of her again."
but she's watching through the glass,
watching heartbeats pass through monitors and vials filled with the past

and i tried to fight this infection, i really did, i really did,
took all the right pills and all those injections, i really did, i really did
but you complicated everything, you really did, you really did
and these pills aren't working like they said did, like they said they did

so paint your face up something nice, like a work of art
pretend you used something other than lies, just this once
and just for tonight I'll cover up this broken heart
and find someone better than (you)
someone more deserving than (you)
find someone who just isn't you, just isn't you

Accidental Koalas

so now I sit here with this pen
surrounded by friends and all alone again,
and all i can think to write is your name over and over again,
over and over again

I'm listening to say anything,
and the only song that ever plays is girlfriend
but i said i'm not getting my hopes up this time
even though you're more stunning with every line

and now i sit with this guitar,
surrounded by friends and all our cars
and all i can think to play are these melodies i wrote with you in mind
these melodies i wrote with you in mind

i'm listening to the spill canvas
and all i can say is the chemistry
between us will destroy this place
but your more stunning with every line i lace

and you're more beautiful with every line
and every single song
but all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines
and all of my best songs
so i've got nothing else to do than sing them to you one at a time
and your'e more beautiful with every line
and every melody i wrote with you in mind

international dialing codes

Goddamn those american boys,
they'll be the death of me just you wait and see,
staying up til dawn just to say hello...

and we've got all these high tech toys
and they don't work but that's just plain to see
so we'll climb to mountaintops and say...

well she said she had this american love,
and somehow missed him though she never met him,
it seems craz yso we'll just wait and see,
she said she had this american love...

well Goddamn those american men,
they're the strangest kind of people you'd have met
but they're just hopeless it would seem...

we've got a million miles,
all the roads lead back to you
cause they're just hopeless it would seem...

well she said she had this american love,
and somehow missed him though she never met him,
it seems craz yso we'll just wait and see,
she said she had this american love...

well what happened to the times
you could travel just by guessing the miles?
and what happened to the times
you could get there just by glancing through smiles?

we've got a million miles and half this world,
but i swear i'll get there someday, girl,
we've got a million miles and half this world,
but i swear i'll get there someday, girl...

My Self Confidence vs. Your New Reliance

well alright, that's it, I've finally had enough of this
you games and all of your bullshit
i refuse to play this with you anymore
once a, well once a, well you're nothing more, said nothing more...

well i'll place bets and watch you drop,
we're all watching as you fall, got tickets to see who will win this all
and if it's me, I'm betting on the drugs and alcohol,
and if it's me, i'll be letting you fall

well your new opinion looks good on you,
glad your new friends helped you pick your new look
and there's enough here to go around
to what comes around you, to what comes around you

and oh, let me tell you,
I'm through with everything you thought you knew
(and oh, let me tell you)
so forget what you've heard because now I'm brand new...
(and oh, let me tell you)

well i'll place bets and watch you drop,
we're all watching as you fall, got tickets to see who will win this all
and if it's me, I'm betting on the drugs and alcohol,
and if it's me, i'll be letting you fall

and now there's colored flashing lights in your rearview
(and oh, let me tell you)
and all the people you thought were freinds will abandon you
(and oh, let me tell you)
and I hope you come crawling back to,
(and oh, let me tell you)
well i hope you go crawling back to...
(and oh, let me tell you)
(and oh, let me tell you)
(and oh, let me tell you)

because I'll let you know I bet just right all because I know you
and i know who you are and how you're nothing more,
nothing more, nothing more than a...
