Please don't mind what I'm trying to say cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set on the rest of my life
Being a part of you
You tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

Cause things will never be the same.

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

Well don't waste time getting to the point, cause I'm, I'm patiently waiting
For your next phone call, your next excuse for losing sleep again
Tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

Cause things will never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

Cause I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I cant, I could never walk away

How can we resolve this now
We let it go, and wonder how
This can ever be the same
Can never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, see you around
I'm spinning, whoa I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you, I'm begging!

Cause I can't stop it now,
It's so amazing how,
I know I cant, I could never walk away.

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say, cause I'm, I'm being honest.

Face down; this is where it leads you - too far.
Buried covered now, you'll find peace - in the earth aground.
Stop now, there's no point in breathing - it's not allowed.
On the surface, how can you find - reason to move on?

Until then you can runaway.
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best;
I know you get what you get - you get what you deserve.

Hush now, yeah don't say a word - its out in the open,
And tell me how can you deal with all this wait?
Speak now, you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.

Until then you can runaway,
Do you best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get you - get what you deserve.

Speak now you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.

Until then you can runaway,
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get - until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best,
I know you get what you get and all you get what you,
You get what you get, you get what you,
You get what you get, you get what you deserve.

Here it goes again,
Put on that deserving tone
and don't forget that this was all your fault.
It's breathing down your neck,
you know you've got to let this go.
You're such a reck and now it starts to show.

Cause all you can't deny
is all held inside
And when we go, we say goodbye,
and then we run,
We run away.

Cause all we can't deny is just a lie.
And when we try to just get by
We just can't get past ourselves.

Cause where you are is where you'll be:
always wanting everything.
It's all the same that you can't ignore
Cause all you want is just "to be more".

It's creaping up again.
(It's all to be considered.)
(It's a game and you're not the winner)
It's a haunting memory.

Cause all you can't deny
is all held inside
And when we go, We say goodbye
and then we run,
We run away.

Cause all we can't deny is just a lie.
And when we try to just get by
We just can't get past ourselves.

Cause where you are is where you'll be:
always wanting everything.
It's all the same- that you cant ignore
Cause all you want is just "to be more".

Cause who you are is who you'll be,
and that is really everything.
It's all the same that you can relate.
Cause what you want's not what you're getting.
It's just a matter of time, It's just a matter of time.
It's just a matter of time, It's just a matter of time-
'Til you know you'll be somebody tonight.

And stay up all night and sleep all day,
We were smart kids with too much to see.
We were so, so sure that they were missing out,
They're the ones missing out, and
We were elemental, took down to bear essentials,
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Play it again, oh (?)
There's no such thing (no there's never too much).
And we were so, so sure, oh we never had a doubt.
Now were counting days to getting out.

We were elemental, took down to bear essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Pack our bags and let's get away - they're catching on to us. [2x]
Pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us. [2x]

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city, and go.

Simple words we never knew,
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun - what it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone - what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really, really feel.

Better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
Its keeps demanding more and more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.

We hold this truth self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, used to tell us everything.
Now were left with, all were left is memories.

But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save this state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.

Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Let it out, you'll say anything.
Say the words and make them count,
Say the words without a doubt.
Give us truth and nothing more,
Leave us wanting more and more.

Who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, we're out of rhythm with our timing.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, you say you'll save us.
I can't go on, were out of rhythm with our time.

Let's count the days until winter comes our way. We're all tired and ready to breathe and there's a rumor that there's a bitter cold chill in the air. it's haunting every breath take. the hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around. we are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Let's think about all those nights on Luckie St. we stayed up til 3 am. with all the gossip and the latest girls.
This winter is much like all the rest. This season's changed since we've been away.

It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.

They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can't erase the time.
But to a spin on working it out, and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.

Oh, you really need to settle down,
And let it go.
You really need settle down,
You really need to let it go.

Consider this, that he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.

Oh, you really need to settle down,
And let it go.
You really need settle down,
No you really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

Just say you left me like you could.
Oh, oh you said you never would.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.

Let it go!
You really need settle down,
And let it go!
You really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

Time to go, this is goodbye she said.
Does it ever get easier, live like this.
And, kiss the cheek- I can't kiss you anymore.
And I, I would honestly love you now,
but I would lovingly let you down.

Oh, I have the hardest time resisting you.
And oh, if you, if you feel the same:
(WAIT) Then how can we be friends.
He's right you know, we can't go on like this.
And oh, I try to give you everything.
And if I fail well then i failed
but at least I gave you something.

I can put my trust in giving up the heart-
if it makes the difference.
And how can you afford to settle down
when I, I would promise you to love you now.
But I would lovingly let you down.

Oh, I have the hardest time resisting you.
And oh, if you, if you feel the same:
(WAIT) Then how can we be friends.
He's right you know, we can't go on like this.
And oh, I try to give you everything.
And if I fail well then i failed
but at least I gave you something.

It's better than silence
Gives me one good reason (you know)
So leave us in silence,
oh you don't have a good reason.

If you feel the same:
(WAIT) Then how can we be friends.
He's right you know, we can't go on like this.
And oh, I try to give you everything.
And if I fail well then i failed
but at least I gave you something.

(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It's better than silence [x2]

And all these stupid silly songs keep trying to catch your ear.
I'm trying desperately, its just so hard to persevere.
And even if you listen, I never had much to say
cause it's the same old song I've written for today.

[Chorus]
Shelter me, oh, genius words. Just give me strength.
So pend these things and give me reason to dwell her wings.
And oh, oh, carry on all you minstrels of the world.
We will catch our lady's ear, we will win for us- the girl.

All these minstrels through the ages,
that is really all we are.
Simply singing for the girl that makes us try so very hard
to crack the perfect limerick to wheel the ending woah.
To write such silly songs and the difference never know.

[Chorus]

Our hopes onto the dream.
Ohh, this beau geste and optimistic fantasy.
And just hold the hand and drop the knee.
You're facing love, you're embracing melody.

[Chorus]

reaching out
can you hear me
i said im reaching out
but no one's near me
and through all this i've been reaching out blindly
and so it comes down and i don't know anything
it always comes around
and fighting always seems just like

that i'll never know
and you never will
still i'll never know
and you wont find out
until someone stands out
then you'll get some answers

well here goes nothing yeah i'm standing up
and i'll get nothing if it's not enough
and they wont say what they're holding back from us
and so it comes down and i don't know anything
it always comes around
and fighting always seems just like

that i'll never know
and you never will
still i'll never know
and you wont find out
until someone stands out
then you'll get some answers
[x2]

i'll tell you this is something that you'll never hear
they knew it then and they've been holding back for years
and if you're not getting answers ask better questions......

that i'll never know
and you never will
still i'll never know
and you wont find out
until someone stands out
then you'll get some answers
[x2]

And you can take this however you want.
Yeah, you can take this however you want.
Don't be so, so sure this is all it adds up to.
YOU!

You're justified.
But there's no justice if it's just a lie, no.
And don't you find yourself, well if you look in side.

And I'll never know.
And still I'll never know.
Someone stands out, then you'll get some answers.

And you can take this however you want.
Yeah, you can take this however you want.
Just don't waste your breath unless you can save us.
And tell me can you...can you save us?

Can you save, can you save us?
This can't go on without the meaning and the run.
Can you save, can you save us?
And I can't go on out of rhythm, without time. [x2]

[chanting of previous song's chorus':]

(Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.)

Woah,
They say we burn so bright.

But we're not wasting our lives.
And if we die, oh maybe you, maybe you-
Oh maybe you can save us...

(...What is what you're getting.)
(When what you want is what you're getting.)
(They're catching onto us.)
(All you can do is pray.)
