Happiness is limited
But misery has no end
Give us somewhere we can go
Instead of one more day of it

The subway doors opened up
We ran as though we had to
Laugh like there was one last chance
To do what lovers might do

With a heart out on parade,
You got up and walked away.

A day can be a thousand years
Or seconds under her shade
What the heart wants all depends
On what she wore out that day

Impressing them impresses her
But only for a minute
Making this more than one day
Seemed almost realistic

With a heart out on parade
You got up and walked away

We'll trim down and turn it up
It doesn't seem to bother her
And no, no, I'm going on forever
It's over now
It's over now
It's over now
It's over now.

It's over now...

. . .


Woke up in smoke and flames
Eye to eye with a stranger
Five thousand photographs
Solemn burnt up in anger

Am I asleep still?
Tell me, I could have been
Don't let it tear us apart again limb from limb
Please let me in

But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby, just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in

I drank the wine of youth
Ended up in a coma
Your wicked silver tongue
No wonder nobody told you
That I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in

But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in

This willful waiting
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in

Hey

See, I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in

But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm screaming baby let me in

Baby just let me in
i'm screaming at your door just let me in
just let me in

This willful waiting
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in

Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my odds are, my heart isn't working.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my chance is, romance is under rated.
Stare on. Don't let a glance be too short.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my odds are, so far I'm not working
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my chance is, romances mean a lot too.

Hey Hey Hey
I don't wanna know
Say Say Say
I don't wanna go
Stay Stay Stay
I don't want a slow
Slow Slow Day

Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my odds are, my heart isn't working.
Five times out of a hundred.
Tell me what my chance is, romance is under rated.

Hey Hey Hey
I don't wanna know
Say Say Say
I don't wanna go
Stay Stay Stay
I don't want a slow
Slow Slow Day

Stare on. Don't let her glance be too sharp.
Don't stop. Glances are a playground.
Stay around the sound of laughing boys.
Walk on around the table making noise. Stare on! Oh no?
I wanna turn the bathtub on and watch this house drown from the lawn.
I wanna turn this energy on.

Saturday night , cigarettes.
your going out with the boys who create regrets.
bananna hanging round her neck.
a checkered flag and a crowd who's singing.

save.....us......from
this life of 9 to 5 , 4, 3, 2, 1 night left for us to feel alive.
so why not do it forever.

harmonicas and tambourines.
were living in her head but dying in her magazines.
her chelsea clothes and brooklyn dreams.
were living in her head but dying in her magazines.

say many yes and say many no.
were put to loud and your lights are bit to low.
she never needed a cameo.
until the chain-gang started to sing.

Make sure you wake me when you get back from the dead
I'll still be lying here in bed
All of your followers – they steal what you feel
It's just a shame it ain't real

It's in you to give
It's in you to take
It's in you to stand up
It's in you to break
And all of these people are waiting for someone to show them the way

I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm outta the know
I'm outta control but I want you to know
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me

Effortless compliments wrapped up in useless advice
A battle of wit with an army
Beautiful memories pillaged by termites of time
Denying it all to a bottle of wine

It's in you to give
It's in you to take
It's in you to stand up
It's in you to break
And all of these people are waiting for someone to show them the way

I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm outta the know
I'm outta control but I want you to know
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me

Are you worth your weight in gold?
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Are you worth your weight in gold?
I'm outta heart and outta soul

I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm outta the know
I'm outta control but I want you to know
I'm outta my soul
I'm out in the dark
I'm outta my mind
And I'm outta my heart
I'm outta my luck
I'm down on my knees
If it matters to you I guess it matters to me

Where did it all go wrong?
From the age of 15 on, I was honest - honest, I was

Half of my brain still knows
That somone has opened doors
That half of me still won't close
Well I want to know

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody

Where did it all get torn apart?
Got a shotgun by my side
You can make her laugh but you can't make her cry

Waving goodbye to innocence
Am I that obvious to read?
Am I in love with my best fiend?
Well I want to know

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody

Whoa oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody

Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody

Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I never want
I never wanted anyone
I never want
I never wanted anybody

[Chorus]
No need to hesitate
No need to concentrate
No need to slow things down with conversation

Come over here now
I wanna show how
Senses are thrown away
And I should take them this way

I never had it, I never had it, never had it
I need a little bit of love
Well, I need a little bit of love from you

But I know you only want what you can't have

[Chorus]

I say we stay up
They'll never wake up
I always hated it when
You never?

I, I never had it, never had it
I need a little bit of love
Well, I need a little bit of love from you

But I know you only want what you can't have

[Chorus]

I won't admit what we both know
I won't admit I can't let go
I won't admit what time has shown

You only want what you can't have

[Chorus]

They all warned me to stay out
Stolen, stupid, scarred, and proud
Don't try to warn me, dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me
I said, I make my own mistakes, dont care how long it takes
i make my own mistakes, again

but all i know is all ive got is

Frustration, Frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
Its killing me just thinking 'bout
Frustration, Frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
Its killing me just thinking 'bout it

They all warned me all warned me of heart cramp
cut your losses, while this turn (?)
dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me
i said, i make my own mistakes, you dont know what shes like, i make my own mistakes, again

but all i know is all ive got is

Frustration, Frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
Its killing me just thinking 'bout
Frustration, Frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
Its killing me just thinking 'bout it

They all warned me, to stay out
Stolen, stupid, scarred, and proud
dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me, dont try to warn me, dont try to warn, me

I've got

Frustration, Frustration
I hate this vacation
So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)

So give up (give up)
Give up (give up)
I've got to get away from here
I've got to get away from here
Its killing me just thinking about this

I woke up wrong this morning
No reason why
Los Angeles is pouring and I'm like any guy
Sophisticated ladies I've never known
So many little babies stuck without a home

It's a good day to die so come knock me over
Say goodbye
It's a good day to die

I get a hold of something
Can't let it go
And if it leads to nothing
Well, at least I know
The weatherman he told me it's getting cold
Now it's the same old story
Pockets filled with gold

It's a good day to die so come knock me over
Say goodbye
I'll be on my way
It's a tumble and tide pulling me under
So turn out the lights
It's a good day to...

I get a hold of something
Can't let it go
And if it leads to nothing
Well, at least I know
Well, at least I know

It's a good day to die so come knock me over
Say goodbye
I'll be on my way
It's a tumble and tide pulling me under
So turn out the lights
It's a good day to...

Into the rain we'll run out
under the storm with lightning on it's way into a tree
we'll carve our names and there we'll stay forever
this town was meant for [believing] so go while they were sleeping
watching waiting thinking but never saying

all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so so so so so damn cold
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up

these city walls they cage us
into the streets with midnight on it's way [?]
and these empty [bottles/battles] where we'd hide forever
this restless, reckless slow dance
with reckless, restless romance
watching, holding, thinking but never knowing

all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so so so so so damn cold
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up
we'll play our song

all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so so so cold in here
all this time
the fire's burning but it's so so so so so cold in here
so stay up
we'll play our song
so stay up
[and know that] all our lives
the fire's burning but it's so so cold
the fire's burning but it's so so cold
[nothing's] burning in here
it's so so so so cold

She knows that the way
To get into her heart is through her head
I waited for her
A little bit each day
A little bit each day
A little bit each day
I waited for her

She knows that the time to be a little girl
Isn't around much longer for her
She only wants to play
She only wants to play
She only wants to play
But I waited for her
I waited for her
I waited for her

Her heart was a toy
She gave away at night
And needed a home
I gave that to her
Every single day
Every single day
Every single day
I waited for her
I waited for her
I waited for her

And she knows that the way
To get into her heart is through her head
I waited for her
A little bit each day
A little bit each day
A little bit each day
I waited for her
I waited for her
I waited for her

And I know that the way to bring her back around is to wait around here for her
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing more to say
I waited for her
I waited for her
I waited for her
I waited for nothing

But I waited for her
