OK, happy

By this time tomorrow i'll be a headline at best,
she said break a leg and i said i'll break all the rest
you're just vain enough to think this song's about you
when i know you're just like every other girl
one, your name's not in my head, and
two, she pulls off what you pretend to

did they ever tell you your beauty puts the angels to shame?
i couldn't tell you to your face because your eyes are just too blinding
but rest assured, i've loved you since your gaze graced this sad shaking form
will you ever know? Will you ever know?

well i'm not going to stop this, whether you like it or not
this is so difficult for the both of us
i know we tried so hard, it seems like there's no hope for us,
just look across the table
just look on the stage

just look at you, sitting in that plastic chair.
just keep rocking, shake all the evil out
just look at you, and your glowing auburn hair
just keep talking, get all the evil out

well i'm not going to stop this, whether you like it or not
this is so difficult for the both of us
i know we tried so hard, it seems like there's no hope for us,
just look across the table (it's all in my head)
just look on the stage (it's just a mess)
just look across the table (it's all in my head)
just look on the stage (it's just a mess)

i wasn't prepared for this

we're just boys singing at microphones
stealing lines from record sleeves
and wishing on your hipbones

and if this isn't a cry for help,
then i couldn't tell you what is
but you've got me wrapped around your finger
and i'm never prepared for this...

now i'm in stitches because of you
(can you feel it slipping through your fingers?)
all you ever, ever do
(life's just away a breath away)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(if you give in to these sinners)
just to break in two

we're just kids breaking hearts and bones
because it's all we ever learned
contradictions will always leave you alone

so please teach me something new
because i can't keep falling apart over you
but you've got me wrapped around your finger
and i'm never prepared for this

now i'm in stitches because of you
(can you feel it slipping through your fingers?)
all you ever, ever do
(life's just away a breath away)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(if you give in to these sinners)
just to break in two

and i'm better at this
than slitting wrists
but i never said i was above it
if my voice is your nicotine
don't you wish you could breathe me in?

and i'm better at this than slitting wrists
but i never said i was above it
and if my voice is your nicotine
i bet you wish you could breathe me in

now i'm in stitches because of you
(we're just boys singing at microphones)
all you ever, ever do
(stealing lines from record sleeves)
is find new ways to rip me in two
(and wishing on your hipbones)
just to break in two

and i already told you, i'm never prepared for this

you are the prescription i could never fill,
the only thing i could never fix with a pill
i'll crawl back to you,
eat scraps from your table like the mutt i am
eat scraps from your bed like the mutt i am

i am the fly on the wall
annoyance you could never kill
so come gliding back to me like teh angel you are
like the angel you are

and it was so sweet wrapped around your little finger
and every little thing you did only made it sweeter
now every road leads to your place, and ever mirror reflects your face
and i jsut can't keep my mind off of you

so you're the fire in my heart,
i'll be the smoke in your lungs
we're both addicted to the words i always sung
you're teh music in these broken bones
but i'm just the smoke in your lungs
we're both addicted like the words i always said... to you
and only you, and only you, it was only you, only you

so turn around again, in my heart and in my hands, i've got this and i've got you
so flip your hair again, in my heart and in my hands i've got this, i've got you

you're always saying never

that's an awful pretty mouth babe
but you better shut it or you'll be to blame, again
now let me in, let me in, let me in
do you even remember?
then what's my name? what's my name?

hope the drugs felt good, hope the sex was better
hope you're always, always saying never
but tell me something, dear, tell me
just what exactly what were you thinking?

i just c-c-c-c-can't decide
what we're gonna do with you
and oh, i just can't decide
what we're gonna tell them happened to you

hope the drugs felt good, hope the sex was better
hope you're always, always saying never
but tell me something, dear, tell me
just what exactly what were you thinking?

fingerprints match the .45
bullets match the holes in my side
you had to motive, you had the incentive
you had the reasons, seasons just right
too bad you're just as bad a shot
as you are at keeping promises

hope the drugs felt good, hope the sex was better
hope you're always, always saying never
but tell me something, dear, tell me
just what exactly what were you thinking?
did you think you'd get away
that you'd ever see the sun again?
did you think you'd get away?
that you'd ever see...

hope the drugs felt good, hope the sex was better
hope you're always, always saying never
but tell me something, dear, tell me
just what exactly what were you thinking?
did you think you'd get away
that you'd ever see the sun again?
did you think you'd get away?
that you'd ever see...

i'm not addicted, i just don't wanna stop (blur)

well i couldn't stop the burning in my ear
when you told me exactly what i wanted to hear
louder, louder with my mic wrapped round your wrist
(they're just lies, they're just lies)
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down

it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she just needs some attention
and she just wants some affection
and she just needs some direction
she could use in anything

i've often wondered if my teeth would fit
in those tracks marks stitched in your skin
if they did would you shoot me up?
(she's just a liar, just a liar)
breathe in and out, come down, come down
breathe in and out, come down, come down

it's all such a blur to her to her to her
and it's all such a blur to this girl
and she can't fight this infection
and she's bruised from these injections
and she's left with these inflections
she could use in anything

whisper all your secrets in my microphone
will it keep them? will it keep them?
whisper all your secrets in my microphone
will it keep them? would i keep them?
could you keep them?

whisper all your secrets in your permanent ink
the one that reminds you of me
breathe in more smoke like your lungs are fresh and unsold
collect more needles like a more a reminder of the color you sold

sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
sickly, not sober, quickly, before we see her
you got us good, you got us good,
serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good,
sharpened blade right through the back
you got us good, you got us good,
serious like a heart attack
you got us good, you got us good,
but we're getting, getting you back

cuz all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say intervention,
all your ex best friends say...

oh, you didn't know? (Summer song)

you can say everything you want to,
it won't change a thing
(I'd rather see you win this one)
I'm waiting on those summer rains,
lightning under sunshine
(I'd rather see you win this one)
and you can't change a thing

well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to

well now tell me that you changed for the better
and I'd rather see you win this one
you'll never forget how bad things were
before the weather
I'd rather see you win this one
but you'd rather just forget

well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to

and we've got nothing on these summer storms,
we'll just lay out on the floor
leave the cooler on and listen to the doors
we can melt together, melt together
melt together in the summer storms

i'd rather see you win this one
but you win every time
and i'd rather see you win this one
but you win every time
well let the summer rain wash down on me,
i'll let you wash down on me too
let the summer rain sweep me away all the ways i want you to

bruised or not, you're still cute

we got buzzed the last night we really talked
we made love under stars and everywhere we'd walked
i couldn't think of any other way to say goodbye so i kissed you on the mouth
if i'd have known you'd die that night i would have said everything else

i remember so much life in you
i remember so much breath in you
i remember holding hands with you
when we talked of what we'd do

i thought i'd write you a letter, like i used to
like i saved you, before,
but you wouldn't read it now
instead i'll just sit here, like we used to
as if we could ever save you, before
it's all so stupid on paper
it's fucked up, i fucked up, you fucked up,
but i thought you should know i still mean it when i say
i love you

i remember so much life in you
i remember so much breath in you
i remember holding hands with you
when we talked of what we'd do

we'll have to, we'll have to, we'll have to, i should do.
i want to, i want you, i miss you, we should do...
well without you, without you, without you, i would do...
without you, without you, without you, i could do
you always knew, you always knew, we always do, what we shouldn't do
i'd like to, just tell you, but you're too..... far

remember when we used to dance on the stars?
we'd spend the night on mars?
now you're just covered in scars
now i'm just covered in scars.
remember when we used to dance on the stars?
when we'd spend the night on mars?
now you're just covered in scars
now i'm just covered in scars

part 4: last words

we thought we made it through, we thought we had a chance
we sounded so commanding and without a second glance
we dreamed of this endearing like your last slow dance
but no we're pinned against the wall as bullets fill the air
this was the perfect plan, i said,
this was the perfect-

i stole all your inspiration
and made sure your heart was broken
just because you were right all along
just because i keep writing you songs

we won't hold out much longer
i hope he makes you happy
and i hope this still hurts
but no matter what happens to me
you'll always be in my last words

i stole all your inspiration
and made sure your heart was broken
just because you were right all along
just because i keep writing you songs

the bullets hit the windows first and brought them crashing to the ground
the same way your feet used to hit the ground running back to
footsteps and screams are background melody for the symphony
that is our demise

nobody moves, nobody get any smart ideas
this is your first night here so you've gotta pray
a chorus of shots ring out in the night
nobody moves, nobody make a scene
we'll break you down, burn who you love, shoot you now
i think it's safe to say we're losing this fight
nobody moves, nobody be a hero today
all we're gonna do is make you lonely lonely lonely

i hope this still hurts, but you'll always be my last words
(this was the perfect plan, i said, this was the perfect-)
i hope this still hurts, but you'll always be my last words
(this was the perfect plan, i said, this was the perfect-)
i hope this still hurts, but you'll always be my last words
(this was the perfect plan, i said, this was the perfect-)

part 3: getaways

drive, drive drive and get alone
all you want to be is lonely lonely lonely

you played your part,
every word thrown like a star through my heart
"well at least i taught you to aim well enough," I said,
"at least i know a conviction you've never felt," she said,
it was enough to fool you and bring you to your knees
and break you down, burn who you love, shoot you down

so drive, drive drive and get alone
(sirens and gunshots in rearviews)
all i wanna do is get you lonely lonely lonely
(spike strips in your heels you'll never feel anything again)

we pulled this off and you said we never would
we called all your bluffs because you always said we couldn't
well it's your first night here so you've gotta play
pick up the revolver and pray
she's not a prize but she'll show you
slight (break you down)
of (burn who you love)
hand (shoot you dead)

could you make this jump if i promised i'd catch you?
would you leap to my arms or run like you always do?
(we'll take aim and never feel anything again)
could you make this jump if i promised i'd catch you?
would you leap to my arms or run like you always do?
(we'll take aim and never feel anything again)

lorene drive has catchy songs, though.

so maybe i was speeding and maybe you couldn't see
and maybe the only thing i was thinking was you and me
the way you fell asleep in my arms
they was i tried to keep you from harm

the way i didn't want to drop you off
this car is beg enough for the two of us
and that's what we'll call home

all iwanted was a kiss,
a way to seal the deal in our little tryst
all i wanted was your hand
steady you as you float off the grass
you just sang along to Lorene Drive
content just to be alone with me in your drive way

the way i didn't want to drop you off
this car is beg enough for the two of us
and that's what we'll call home

and i loved you. and i love you.
and you left without a word.
i'll siong to you through the static
the airwaves where you'll find me
i'll sing to you, feel my heartbeat in the stereo
i'll sing to you, feel our heartbeat in the stereo
listen to me on your drive home if you're ever feeling lonely or alone
just know i'll sing to you and feel you in the stereo
