Taking Back Sunday Album

Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze
Just nine more minutes, please..
(And they) They all know where to find me
Every word that I said, what a big mistake
And the ones you left out are keeping me away

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like it's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Well there's a secret I've been perfecting,
I swore I wouldn't but you let me
I'm comfortably confused (and you...)
You've gotten so removed
You know I, I could take the place of those pills
Ocean blue, paint it white
Now who ya gonna call tonight?

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like it's where you wanna be.
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)
[x2]

We paint our sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept
(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)

If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying?
(We paint our sins on the ceiling),
I might give it up, if you just keep trying
(Well I keep them glued to my chest),
If I talk in my sleep, if I talk in my sleep, it's gone
(It keeps me close like a promise kept).

(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long
(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long

So pace the stairs to your apartment
(Will you stop me, I just wanna know?)
(I'm sorry it took me so long)
Like its where you wanna be
(Will you stop me, I just wanna know?)
where you wanna be

So, scream I heard about your message,
And how it reeks of your indifference,
Simply tied horizontal straight from your wrists.
(So scream louder now)
I'm bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
But can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders,
C'mon say it...

[Chorus]
Well, it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, it's love, it's love, it's love...
Make it hurt.

I said I use the inconsistencies
That undress the machine,
You're the poster boy, their selling point, the focus for their new campaign.

(Something has to be)
Bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
Oh, but can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders, c'mon...

[Chorus]

The keys to the castle
(Are right where I left them)
The princess walked in just to take more attention,
'Cause after all, well isn't that all that I've been after and,
After all, well isn't that all that I'm after,
You're so...

(No way out) I give up in you, well, I give up in you,
(No way out) I give up in you.
(No way out) Well, I give up in you, I give up in you,
(No way out) Well, I give up in you.

I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
If that's what you wanted to hear,
(Well, if that's what you wanted to hear)
I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,
(If that's what you wanted to hear)
I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,
(If that's what you wanted to hear)
(It's love, it's love) I wanted you for nothing more,
(Make it hurt, I deserve it) Than hating you for what you were,
(If that's what you wanted to hear)
That's what you wanted to hear,
(To hear) If that's what you wanted to hear.

Well, that's more sweet, so delicate
It used to be this dying breed
Well I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window...
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about...

You used to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)
Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well that's more sure in porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck
Well I've got a bad feeling about this (because of this)
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window
Well I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about...

You used to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well I got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)
I got a bad feeling about...

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on).

I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on)

I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on)

I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got it bad (you)
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad

Well, I'll wait till you listen
I wont say a word
to follow your instincts
just never worked for me
your silent but strong, (yeah, I'm playing that card)
and your noticing nothing again

Now I'm lying on the table
with everything you said
keeping mind the way that it felt
when the most I could do was to just blame myself

(yeah, I'm playing that card)
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 then you'd like to forget)

So, we're talking forever
and you almost feel better
but, betters no excuse for tonight
you see, it's never been enough
just to leave all you gave up
but, its 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

today we'll never know
today we'll never know
Well 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 meant it (remember more then you'd like to forget)

Drop everything, start it all over
remember more then you'd like to forget [x2]

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...

Well 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 meant it (remember more then you'd like to forget)

I know you know

I wait around from this still small center
From state to center
Well which one is it?
Just who do you think you are?
(Who do you think you are?)

Well who did you come to
Well is it who I think it is I swear to god
Well is it who I think it is?

You always knew it was on purpose
Yeah what's the point if it don't serve it's purpose
Splits up to focus your eyes couldn't swell
You're built from distractions so brilliantly dull
Well I had a better friend in my worst ..
That I'd rather have then either one of you

Well I never made a scene
(Well they came to me)
I never made a scene
Well they came to me
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene

I always know to avoid the issue
Got me alone so I couldn't address you
Don't do this where your making love
Don't get yourself confused
Besides what's it to you?
Well I'm training in my conscience for your
For your confidence
Attacked my lungs with lies still past the time
..

I didn't have to I didn't have to
I never made a scene
I didn't have I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene

I never made a scene
Well they came to me
I never made a scene
Well they came to me

I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to
Well I never made a scene
I didn't have to I didn't have to

you've got to get better,
said, it's all in your head,
we could live through these letters
or forget it altogether,
see the months they don't matter
its the days I can't take
when the hours move to minutes
and I'm seconds away,

just ask the question come untie the knot
say you won't care,
say you won't care,
retrace the steps, as if we forgot,
say you won't care,
say you won't care,
you try to avoid it, but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing about...

when all that we need is just a reaction,
its too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore,
chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember what I know...
that I can't go back,

just ask the question, come untie the knot
say you wont care
say you wont care
retrace the steps as if we forgot
say you wont care
say you wont care
you try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing
there's one thing I can do nothing
there's one thing I can do nothing about

just ask the question (just ask the question)
come untie the knot
say you wont care
say you wont care
retrace the steps (retrace the steps)
as if we forgot
say you wont care
say you wont care
you try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
but there's not a doubt
and there's one thing I can do nothing
there's one thing I can do nothing

I've come to the assumption that I'm gonna be the one thats leaving you tonight,
tonight...
well I've flicked every switch that I could find on my way out just to upset you
more (just to keep you busy)
Just to make you angry (just because you were right)
Just because you were...
On side streets in heaven,
Lets get this out and on the table...
Fast forward to say four o' clock,
I'm keeping time, I'm holdin', we're always holdin', (always holdin)
We're always holdin, holding out...
And thats what got us here in the first place
We should have never come here alone (we should have never bothered at all)
Bothered at all...

Scream older and more to scale
Filled with resentment
We got it, we got it (I'm not thinkin happier...)
Older and more to scale, filled with resentment
We got it, we got it (I'm not thinkin happier, no, I'm not thinking happier, not
since...)

well...five o' clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my footsteps)
And spread like a disease to the door (I'm stumblin through it but I hear it)
I hear its good to stick with you
(and you know a whole lot of this, it all could have been avoided when you were
courtside for this nightmare)
Well since then I got myself come and listen...

Scream older and more to scale, filled with resentment
We got it, we got it (I'm not thinkin happier...) older and more to scale,
filled with resentment
We got it, we got it (I'm not thinkin happier, no, im not thinking happier, not
since...)

well, we used to get so much more (I used to, I used to too...)

Come on just say it,
You need me like a bad habit,
One that gives you the interest of indepth and love.
Come on just say it (Are you afraid to),
You need me like a bad habit (Say what you want to, tell me you want to),
One that gives you the interest of indepth and love (Are you afraid to say what
you want to, tell me you want to).

Well I hold my tongue use it to assess,
The damage from way back when it mattered,
But nothing seems important anymore,
We're just protecting ourselves from our self,
And I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back
down),
I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back down),

I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back…),
I don't think I'll ever come back…

Are you ashamed to say what you want to tell me you want to.
Are you ashamed to say what you want to tell me you want to.
(Come on just say it) Are you ashamed to (Come on just say it) say what you want
to tell me you want to.
(Come on just say it) Are you ashamed to (Come on just say it) say what you want
to tell me you want to.

I'm making the difference,
It just seems pointless,
Well I'll be obvious,
That's got out of focus,
Why can't you just be happy,
Why can't you just be happy.
And I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back
down),
I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back down),

I don't think I'll ever come back down (I don't think I'll ever come back…),
I don't think I'll ever come back...

(Just come back… {over and over, about 15 times})
Just come on just say it,
Come on just say it,
Well I'll just say it,
I'll just say it,
I need you defenseless, dependent and alone.
(Just come back… {over and over, about 9 times})
She says live up to your first impression,
Well my best side was your worst invention,
In case you live without the intention,
In case you live without the intention.
(Just come back… {over and over, about 8 times})
She says live up to your first impression,
Well my best side was your worst invention,
In case you live without the intention,
In case you live without the intention.

She says live up to your first impression (Come on, just say it),
Well my best side was your worst invention (Come on, just say it),
Why cant you live without the intention (I need you defenseless, dependent),
Why can't you love without the intention (alone).
She says live up to your first impression (I just say it),
Well my best side was your worst invention (I just say it),
Why cant you live without the intention (I need you defenseless, dependent),
Why can't you love without the intention (Alone),
Why can't you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why cant you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can't you love…without…love…without (Defenseless, dependent, defenseless,

Why can't you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can't you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can't you love…without…love…without (Defenseless, dependent, defenseless,

we're gonna die like this you know, miserable and oh
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive, absolutely sure
Well just get dressed dont do this
Spend the night late listening to my steadfast set that makes you wanna fall in
love
Or be smart enough to keep your distance, you cant decide, you cant decide...

We're gonna die like this you know, miserable and oh
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you, (well just so you

Well yeah youve been there once or twice (and you still dont like it)
I say you just never gave it a chance (well give me a chance, give me a chance)
Besides did you ever stop to think that we can keep this up living like thieves
(but you cant decide)
You cant decide (no you cant decide)
Well you cant decide...

We're gonna die like this you know, miserable and oh
Really gotta hand it to you, really gotta hand it to you, (well just so you

well I'm blowing smoke out of your window
And you're slippin' back into your dress
You know you were always such a lady
I've always been impressed
But gentlemen they dont ask questions
just keep quiet, pay attention, gentlemen
they dont ask questions...we could pay attention...

I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers...

well I pictured you in blue
but I have to say
I'm impartial to the red, deep, dark, and devastating
leaving no question as to where you've been
I calm the crowd, by keeping quiet
move like a shadow, up to your matress
gentlemen dont ask questions...we could pay attention...

do you think he'd be better,
doing what I do best?

I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers...

do you think he'd be better,
doing what I do best?

I said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,
phone your folks they're up and lookin' for some answers,
said I'm gonna have myself in shambles,

Passed out in our school clothes so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion, I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along

Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless, So careless

Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless
And I could care less

So paint your face up something elegant
And this time maybe a darker shade of red
Cause a long night means a fist fight
Against your pillow and my pearly whites
I want to hear you scream you like me better on my knees
So let us grieve
So let us grieve

Don't you ask me
Don't you fight

Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless
And I could care less

Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless
And I could care less

Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here (I'll keep you here, I'll keep you here)

This glass house is burning down
You light the match, I'll stick around
I'll give you everything you want
And wish the worst of what I was

This glass house is burning down
You light the match, I'll stick around
I'll give you everything you want
And wish the worst of what I was

Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference

Just think of this and me
as just a few of many things
to lye around, to clutter up your shelves
And I wish you weren't worth the wait
cause there's something I'd like to say to you

And I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cause I don't think that you know what you've been missing

And I dare you to forget
the marks you left across my neck
from those nights when we were both found at our best
Now I could make this obvious and you
you could deny me all in one breath
you could shrug me off your shoulders

And I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cause I don't think that you know what you've been missing
And I don't think that you know,
I said I don't think you know,
I said I don't think that you know what you've been missing

Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
