Laying in your bedroom
This ceiling never felt so endless til today
The plastic stars they dance above our heads
Singing "Lets go to bed; force these lovers to rest"
For every time caught in your headlights
For every wish I've ever made to those eyes
I'll bend over backwards to
Show my heart as it beats for you
In a punk rock love affair
And now I'm falling apart
As I'm falling for you
In the frantic lovers game
Cause we were never the same
Since we're on center-stage
Singing all of the songs we loved
Silence can be so easy as your
Porcelain skin and firework eyes
You've got the lips of a poet
Lathered in gold
Cause no one's spoken words to me
That pierce me like yours
Laying in my bedroom
I swear I've never felt so helpless til today
The darkness drugs us and sings our hearts to sleep
So we'll meet in our dreams
It'll be our secret to keep
For every time I feel you inside
I always feel like there is nothing more right
Than wasting days with you
Like summer children do
We'll burn out with the stars
And now I'm falling apart
As I'm falling for you
In the frantic lovers game
Cause we were never the same
Since we're on center-stage
Singing all of the songs we loved
Silence can be so easy as your
Porcelain skin and firework eyes
You've got the lips of a poet
Lathered in gold
Cause no one's spoken words to me
That pierce me like yours
My love is as simple as I am
It's as simple as I am
(Take you to a place only we know)
As simple as I am
(Take you to a place only we know)
Yeah
Silence can be so easy as your
Hips swaying in the silence of night
You've got the lips of a poet
Lathered in gold
Cause no one's spoken words to me
That pierce me like yours

Wish these broken eyes could tell you
All the things that my mouth's scared to
But there's no way my mouth can keep up with my voice
I would love to write you
But I'm terrified to
Wait for days for
Nothing at all
Two wrongs don't make a right
Where is there left to go
There are more subtle ways but
I swear its not for show
It been a six whole years
Oh what can it mean
I hate that I still care as if I was seventeen
But that's just what you do
You have planted all your
Seeds deep down in my blood
And their roots are growing
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Think of the best parts
Where I used to be the place
Where you rested your weary head
You cant tell me that you don't
Late at night when your all alone
Or maybe that's just me
Do I sound so desperate?
Do I sound so desperate?
I'm cycling through all the letters I wrote you
Trying to rebuild the scene
Where things fell apart and I'm spiraling hard now
Take me back to that basement scene
I feel buried alive I feel buried alive by you
I was anesthetized by the look in your eyes, so full of woe
Feel buried alive I feel buried alive by you
I never would've thought the two of us could be torn apart
But I've since learned my lesson
Don't let your blessings shroud your heart
And all I ask of you, don't you forget the "I Do"s
We could've sworn were real
Or is that too much to feel
Two wrongs don't make a right
Where is there left to go
There are more subtle ways but
I swear its not for show
It been a six whole years
Oh what can it mean
I hate that I still care as if I was seventeen
But that's just what you do
You have planted all your
Seeds deep down in my blood
And their roots are growing
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Cherish the nights when we wouldn't need the lights
Cause the ones fixed in your eyes were enough
And I wont promise to breathe
If you don't now swear to me
That you will find someone much better than me
But that's just what you do
You have planted all your
Seeds deep down in my blood
And their roots are growing
On and on and on and on
(On and on and on and on)
On and on and on and on
(On and on and on and on)

Last call, lost count of rounds
Shot glasses tumbling down
And as the fluorescent lights
Begin to dim in the night
I begin to lose sight
Of the gloss in your eyes
And I know
Know you're my good friend
And I would trust you with my
Life is in good hands
And I know
I know you really got me
Though I'll have hell to pay
I know you really got me
I know you really got me
What kind of friend would I be
If I would leave you alone
In this sorry state of mind
At least let me take you home
But you insisted to drive
You would proclaim that your fine
And despite my gut feeling
I assume you’re alright
And I know
Know you're my good friend
And I would trust you with my
Life is in good hands
And I know
I know you really got me
Though I'll have hell to pay
I know you really got me
I know you really got me
Your out of control
But who can blame you when
Life takes its hold
I'd leave it up to you
I'd love to, I'd love to
Depend it all on you
I'd love to, I'd love to
The lights, you seem to disregard them
We slide on saturated pavement
Brakes fail to grab hold
Realization sticks
Life flashes
Light dances
As we start to spin
Grab hold of the dash my muscles tense, its true
If we make it out I will tell you the truth
Your out of control
But who can blame you when
Life takes its hold
I'd leave it up to you
I'd love to, I'd love to
Depend it all on you
I'd love to, I'd love to
So if I die tonight and there's a body to find
I hope that you die with me so I don't haunt you at night
But I decided your fate as I did the same with mine
Now your inner demons will eat us alive
Hot Flash
Adrenaline floods the brain
Last gasp
Before I could numb the pain
Sharp blast
But they can't resuscitate
Sad fact I
Lied to myself
Oh how could you
Lied to myself
Oh how could you
Lie to myself
Oh how could you
Lie to myself

If I lived without my fears
I would both outshine and I'd blow out ears
So you couldn't hear me scream
All the way I tried to undo your seams
I'll set a fire tonight
That burns a hole through the sky
I'll set a fire tonight
That burns
That burns
I never saw this summer ending nicely
Cause as it turns out
I look better on my knees
Here I am, liquor breaths on your window
Water vapors trace my hand, moving so slow
I'll be there when you wake up this morning
I hope you find me kissing moths so alarming
I hate the way I only think about you every night
The way you always have my heart locked in your iron sights
I hate the way I'm both your only one and so-and-so
The way I'd rather die tonight than to be left alone
So I'm here just staring at your window pane
Trying to think of ways to keep from going insane
But there's a spot in your eyes
That wants to keep me outside
And for the first time in a while, I oblige
I'll raise the tides of moonlight
To drown the moon in your eyes
I'll raise the tides of moonlight
In your eyes
Your eyes
I'll raise the tides of moonlight
To drown the moon in your eyes
I'll raise the tides of moonlight
Your eyes
Your eyes
I never saw this summer ending nicely
Cause as it turns out
I look better on my own
Here I am, liquor breaths on your window
Water vapors trace my hand, moving so slow
I'll be there when you wake up this morning
I hope you find me kissing moths so alarming
I hate the way I only think about you every night
The way you always have my heart locked in your iron sights
I hate the way I'm both your only one and so-and-so
The way I'd rather die tonight than to be left alone
Tonight is the night we celebrate
All of the things we love to hate
So get your ass out of here

After all of this
My patience is wearing thin
I gave you my everything
But now I'm just a shell of
What I used to be
I don't know, I don't know everything
But I know that I would give my all for you
I do know i do know everything
Looking at the stars I can tell that were meant to be
I don't want this tragic end
But you can’t help me now
I notice a slight change
In how you look at me now
Centripetal forces
Just seem to keep pulling me back here
You ask me to to let go
But losing my heart is all I fear
Is this call love
Is this call hate
I'll speak my mind
Well it's too late
I'm holding on
Hanging by a thread
I'll open up
I'll shut my mouth
I'll speak my mind
It speaks too loud
I'm holding on
This can't be real
Now that time has past
And your venom is wearing thin
You keep pulling me back here
But now I'm stronger than
What I used to be
I don't know, I don't know everything
But i know that anything like this
I do know i do know everything
Why fight for something that wasn't meant to be
I don't want this tragic end
But you can’t help me now
I notice a slight change
In how you look at me now
Centripetal forces
(Is this still love)
Just seem to keep pulling me back here
(Let go)
You ask me to to let go
(I cant my dear)
But losing my heart is all i fear
Is this call love
Is this call hate
I'll speak my mind
Well it's too late
I’m holding on
Hanging by a thread
I'll open up
I'll shut my mouth
I'll speak my mind
It speaks too loud
I'm holding on
This can't be real
And with all this faith
And with all this ambition
I will finally rise above you
I said it once before and I'll say it again
I don't need you and I don't need anyone else
And I can finally say
I’LL RISE ABOVE YOU
Centripetal forces
Just seem to keep pulling me back here
You ask me to to let go
(I cant my dear)
But losing myself is all I fear
Is this call love
Is this call hate
I'll speak my mind
Well it's too late
I'm holding on
Hanging by a thread
I'll open up
I'll shut my mouth
I'll speak my mind
It speaks too loud
I'm holding on...
