You know what? The next time you see Nick Yah Tell him I'm gonna stick some needles in his face And watch him on his knees Watch him when he sees that I'm not fooling... yeah 'Cause I'm through being cool And he keeps telling everyone about me Like how I'm such a fool and oh that I'm so deceptive I think I'll make him eat the ground I think that I will turn around and notice the wind blowing tops off trees I'll see the way the world begins to need color everywhere And I'll realize how small I really am 'Cause I'm through being cool And he keeps telling everyone about me Like how I'm such a fool and oh that I'm so receptive And then I'll spin right back around And say, "Nick, why are you such a prick? Why don't you just marvel in the hopes that make up this reality? Your world is what you made it And I don't want a part of it."
Do you know what I love the most? Even suburbs would be o.k. With you beneath my sheets; breeze in my window 'Cause we will go there, ignore all our neighbors I think I'll bring you breakfast, play Johnny Cash on the stereo I'll sit in the lazy chair all day remembering the things you do So when you come home I'll jump up to kiss you (whoa ohohhhh)
And it will knock you back You'll fall over our TV set Pick you up and dust you off Oh, Baby let's give it a go Kiss your thighs to make you feel all right Then I will get closer, taste a little sweat (Whoa Oh Ohhh) I think I'm rearing to go You're gonna get knocked out, yeah tied up in my trunk In ten years we'll go to Ohio (whoa ohhh), Steal Cadillac's for a living.
Could you tell me the next time that you're choking? Cause I'll run right over to shove some dirt right down your throat It's nothing I have against you You're just a creep and you can't remember the last five years What's a bond if it dissolves in water? I took a piss that lasted longer than you and your manipulations I called my mom last night She said, Sweetie, you don't need someone who's more fleeting than fall no-o-o 'Cause don't you love those leaves? Don't you wish the orange stayed forever Crickets sang in the night all through winter? And I thought, slow down, Think of all the times this jerk has fucked you up and left you down And hey-hey, I choose my company by the beating of their hearts Not the swelling of their heads nooo dont you love those leaves dont you wish the orange stayed forever yeah e yeah crickets sang in the night all through winter Besides, I'd rather forget the days we spent Than try to stay afloat in shallow water
I said I'd walk you home after our third round of pouring whiskey down the barrel of our guts and I grabbed hold of your hand. We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets and I'm out of my fucking mind and I know you're next to me but I must confess what's in my head. Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band. The sky's on fire again. Run down this alleyway. Lightning bolts again and we become fireflies just flashing at the air. Rattle garbage cans. Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become. And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head: To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes and the tender warmth inside is released into my life and it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face. As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight. Know I'm burning tonight. Know I'm burning tonight. Know I'm burning tonight. Know I'll burn for you tonight.
All I want is you to come undress me here Laying sideways underneath the windowsill Let's not say a thing, no, let's not even think Just hold each other here
I remember when we met on Halloween You in your red dress, your green eyes stared at me The sidewalk, yellow stars start to fade into the dark When I first take you in my arms
I never want to let go All my life I've been alone No one there to just hold
The lines along my face from those endless wasted days Show when the sun shines through the shade
I never want to let go All my life I've been alone No one there to just hold
Too many faces that turned away Start to believe that it's not worth the pain But I know that I love you All it was is a dream Now you're here with me
Blinded by circumstance I suffered and I strayed Denied the fear inside, it's me that I betrayed
But now I'm here just to hold you In my heart 'til forever Has come and gone a hundred times I'll be here waiting
Contempt, controlled, confined inside my withered skin Don't look, the mirror makes you turn away within
But now I'm here just to hold you In my heart 'til forever Has come and gone a hundred times I'll be here waiting
I know you have only seen me in darkness and misery I promise to trust this feeling if you hold onto me
So let's be clear in this moment You're all I need, this is worth it So now I'm here just to hold you In my heart 'til forever Has come and gone a hundred times I've come and gone a hundred times And still I'll come a thousand times To be here waiting
Take my hands, let me see your eyes again I know you'll say we don't have a chance to be saved We're lost, we're torn, we praise, we scorn We're stuck and we'll stay the same
All you say is, "You are not the one to blame The past, the pain, all of it at once became Too much to hold, too dark, too cold You lost your way, that's all."
Living without you Living without love Isn't the life I need No more tomorrow No mourning sorrow Now it's all up to me
I feel that rain as you turn my way You say, "It's not a waste."
Living without you Living without love Isn't the life I need No more tomorrow No mourning sorrow Now it's all up to me
Where do we go from here? Together for seven years Pull a polaroid from the lawn You in your red dress before it was torn
Was it all a waste of time What if we never met that night Would you be the same inside? I wanna make it work I wanna get it right Yeah!
Criss-crossed power lines Strung over the billboard sky Ocean's burned to dust And shadows from bombs above
Is it all a waste of time We are born, we give in, and then we die Think of all the ways we've tried We want to make it work We want to get it right Yeah! Yeah!
What if we never met that night? Would you be the same inside? When you think of it Do you start to cry? You want to make it work You want to get it right Yeah Is it all a waste of time We are born we give in and we die Think of all the ways we try We want to make it work We want to get it right Yeah!
