liar (it takes one to know one)

all our secrets they are tailored trouble
draped loose now around your hips
your spotless instincts are valid
we coexist
got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)
we got 26 days to work with (it moves, it moves, it moves)
we'll see what all gets done

i'm an addict for dramatics
i confuse the two for love
"you can't tell me that you don't beg..."

liar (liar)
if we're keeping score
we're all choir boys at best

got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)
then back on that island
that you swear by
still barely can't afford
it's still a question of
how long will this hold?
is it any different now that we are
don't you go there not here, not now
(it moves, it moves, it moves)
not here, not now

you can tell me don't beg

you're so last summer

she said
"don't, don't let it go to your head
boys like you are dime a dozen,
boys like you are dime a dozen"
she said
"you're a touch overrated,
you're a lush and i hate it,
but these grass stains on my knees
they won't mean a thing"

and all i (all i)
need to know (need to know)
is that i'm something you'll be missing
(is that i'm something that you're missing)
maybe i should hate you for this
never really did ever quite get that far
maybe i should hate you for this
never really did ever quite get that...

i'd never lie to you
unless i had to i'll do what i got to
unless i had to i'll do what i got to, the truth
is you could slit my throat
and with my one last gasping breath
i'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

and all i (all i)
need to know (need to know)

cause i'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
this'll be the last chance you get to drop my name

this photograph is proof (i know you know)

well i’ll wait til you listen
i won’t say a word
to follow your instincts
will just never work for me
oh you’re silent but strong
yeah i’m playing that card
and you’re noticing nothing again

now i’m lying on the table
with everything you said
keeping in mind the way that it felt
when the most i could do
was to just blame myself

and i know you know everything
i know you didn’t mean it
i know you didn’t mean it
i know you know everything (drop everything)
i know you didn’t mean it (start it all over)
i know you didn’t mean it (remember more that you’d like to forget)

so we’re talking forever and
you almost feel better
but better’s no excuse for tonight
you see it’s never bad enough
to just leave or give up
but it’s never good enough to feel right

now i’m lying on the table
with everything you said
it will all catch up eventually
well it caught up and honestly,
the weight of my decisions
were impossible to hold
but they were never yours

drop everything, start it all over
remember more than you’d like to forget
drop everything, start it all over
remember more than you’d like to forget

would you like to forget?
would you like to forget?
drop everything, start it all over
well, drop everything start it all over
(would you like to forget?)
drop everything start it all over
start it all

i know you know...
i know you know...
i know you know...
(drop everything, start it all over)
i know you know...you know...you know...
(remember more that you’d like to forget)

makedamnsure

you've got this new head filled up with smoke
i've got my veins all tangled close
to the jukebox bars you frequent
the safest place to hide
a long night spent with your most obvious weakness
you start shaking at the thought you are everything i want
'cause you are everything i'm not

and we lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close (how close is close enough?)
we lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close

i just wanna bring you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna bring you down so badly
in the worst way

my inarticulate store bought hangover hobby kit
in time, it says, "you, oh, you are so cool."
it says, "scissor shaped across the bed, you are red, violent red."
you hollow out my hungry eyes
you hollow out my hungry eyes

and we lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close (how close is close enough?)
we lay, we lay together just not
too close, too close

i just wanna bring you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
well i just wanna bring you down so badly
in the worst way

i just wanna bring you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
i just wanna bring you down so badly
in the worst way (worst way)

i'm gonna make damn sure that you can't ever leave
no, you won't ever get too far from me
you won't ever get too far from me
i'll make damn sure that you can't ever leave
no, you won't ever get too far from me
you won't ever get too far from me
you won't ever get too far from me
you won't ever get too far...

i just wanna bring you down so badly
well i trip over everything you say
well i just wanna bring you down so badly
in the worst way (worst way)

i'm gonna make damn sure

falling for you

this drowning sorrow is shaking me
more than it ever has before
the road signs reading bitter end
leave me suspect of a crime

the city air chokes me today
more than it ever had before
i’m nervous to feel deserved
by these street signs anymore

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

these empty feelings question me
of who i think i’ve become
mind is ticking life away
asking if you are the one

are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we’ll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

i’m dying to explain my heart
to you now
i’m dying to explain my heart
to you now
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart
there’s so much on my mind it’s tearing me apart

falling for you
falling for you
i fell for you
(im falling)
falling for you
(im falling)
falling for you
i fell for you

cute without the 'e' (cut from the team)

your lipstick, his collar... don't bother angel
i know exactly what goes on

when everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
my finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
me face down, down across your floor
(me face down, down across your floor)
well just so long as this thing's loaded

and will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
this all was only wishful thinking,
this all was only wishful thinking
and will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
this all was only wishful thinking,
this all was only wishful thinking
let's go...

don't bother trying to explain angel
i know exactly what goes on when you're on and
how about i'm outside of your window
(how about i'm outside of your window)
watchin him keep the details covered
you're such a sucker (you're such a fucker)
for a sweet talker, yeah

and will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
this all was only wishful thinking,
this all was only wishful thinking
(the only thing that i regret is that i, i never let you hold me back)
and will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
this all was only wishful thinking,
this all was only wishful thinking

hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
a thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
i will never ask if you don't ever tell me
i know you well enough to know you never loved me
(why can't i feel anything from anyone other than you?)

and all of this was all your fault
and all of this

(i stay jealous)
i stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason
i just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)

up against (blackout)

so this is what we're up against?
so this is what we're up against?

face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away
face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away

regrets always work
excuses are better
a practical exchange
or a trade for the truth
but you know it never held up (but you know it never held up)
pretend that it's still good now

face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away
face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away

we're turning our clocks back
we're just never ourselves
so go with the flow
just relax (just relax)
you never feel the jet lag
unless you're trying to fit in

face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away
face it
this is what we're up, up against?
you're waiting
and every minute is a minute away
(every minute is a minute away)

less is more except when it comes to mistakes
how long is long, that depends how long it takes
less is more except when it comes to mistakes
how long is long, that depends how long it takes
not years, not months
not days, you blackout memories
not years, not months
not days, you blackout memories

face it

every minute is a minute
and a minute and a minute away

you own disaster
