so lets not even try, you're right.
lets ball it up and throw it out the window
its becoming all so clear in my mind
I've thought this thing through more than once or twice.
I feel that this Is my last request to you.

hold your breath
bottle it up and save it for the next one
its safe to say we've been writtin' this all night

None of this will ever change your mind.
It's never safe to Rely on borrowed time.
Now we're both undone, and it's time to open up your eyes.

Consequence, it's our need in times like these.
Feeling free...it's our modern disease. Your a classic disaster, with a
Knack for losing your
Exterior. (I'm so sick)...from staring at the mirror.

This all needs a break from you, and I'm used to this.

I fear that I am just an end.
So you play the mistaken...and I'll play the victim in our screenplay of
Desire...I'm still writing the letters
I'll never send.

running in circles I can't forget how many times I've played this in my mind
feelin' free, feelin' free

Consequence, it's our need in times like these.
Feeling free...it's our modern disease. Your a classic disaster, with a
Knack for losing your exterior. (I'm so sick)...from staring at the mirror.

This is my panic... This is my call to arms.

. . .


Can you feel your heart beat racing
Can you taste the fear in her sweat?
You've done this wrong, it's too far gone
These sheets tell of regret
I admit that I'm just a fool for you
I'm just a fool for you

Here is where we both go wrong

Tonight's your last chance to do exactly what you want to
And this could be my night, this is what makes me feel alive
Makes you feel alive

Here is where we both go wrong
So sign me up and toss this key 'cause for now we're living

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
It's all over
It's all over
I feel your heart against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead it's way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes
(Its all in your goodbyes)

Well look who's dying now
Slit wrists sleeping with the girl next door
I always knew you were such a sucker for that
It doesn't matter what you say
You never mattered anyway (I never mattered anyway)

In this moment that we both ignore the truth
Its all over
Its all over
I feel your heart against mine
So take a breath and close your eyes, eyes

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead its way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes
(It's all in your goodbyes)

Dont shake I hate to see you tremble - trembling
You've lost your touch haven't you
And I'm so addicted
so addicted

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead its way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
GO WRONG!!

Your lungs have failed and they've both stopped breathing
My heart is dead its way past beating
Something has gone terribly wrong
I'm scared, you're scared, we're scared of this
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never told you but it's all in your goodbyes (Its all in your goodbyes)

I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never thought we'd make it out alive
I never thought we'd make it out alive

It's all in your good byes

. . .


Prop open the door I can actually see my breath tonight
But that doesnt mean I'm breathing
Crack a smile just for the sake of it
This could take a while
A long while

Silence is golden especially in this case

I'm not too sure that i want it to be this way
Open mouth closed eyes
No words are escaping

Its all a blur
Its too dark to see
Ain't it pretty the way it all streaks together at night

I think its time to turn around
I really want to go home tonight

I feel like this is going nowhere
Try to think of something quick
And trust the direction of the driver

No lights
No signs
Im at a loss for words

Now conversation sparks
What an easy way to break the ice

. . .


12th and Hyde on a Sunday
Feeling like were gold
But we're nothing short of invincible
Invincible!
Invincible!

It starts again
Can you feel it?
It takes your breath away
Stop saying that we're invincible
(It’s round and round)
You’re uninviting, unrewarding
And I’m misinforming you
Misinforming you…

We all wanna be… Wanna be somebody
Right now were just looking for the exit

[chorus]

This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall…
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall…


It’s you and me on a Monday
The lies that we told
This is where we both go numb now
You broke my heart again this time
You’re fading now you crossed the line
You crossed the line

We all want to be somebody
Right now we're just looking for the exit


This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall…
This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall…

Reaching out for a hand
It’s not here
But your not here
You’re not here

This is the way I would have done this
Up against the wall
Up against your wall
This is the way we should have done
When were up against our wall
Up against our wall

This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall

This is the way I would have done things
Up against the wall
Up against the wall
You’ve got me up against your wall

The Blue Note

[No lyrics]

. . .


I've been up at this all night long
I've been drowning in my sleep
I've prayed for your safe place
And it's time for us to leave

Time is running, it's running on empty
And the gas is running out
I've decided tonight is the night
That I let love aside
Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before
Planned perfection sought in my dreams
Hoping this would take you home

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time

Around this turn where the cross will cast your shadow
The people will all gather
To remember such a day where the flames grew as high
As trees
And the world stopped for you and me

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
[Shut your eyes]

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
[So hold on tight]
Kiss me one last time
[Shut your eyes]

I will now bring new meaning to the word alone
Endless nights of dreaming of life
And the days we should have spent here

Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep [x2 alone]

Glass shatters and comes to a halt
I thought we'd be there by now
I thought it would be so much quicker than this

Pain has never been so brilliant
I made sure you were buckled in
Now you can walk hand in hand with him

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
Kiss me one last time
[Shut your eyes]

My knuckles have turned to white
There's no turning back tonight
[So hold on tight] [x2]
Kiss me one last time
[Shut your...]

. . .


I had the whole world in my hands
And I gave it away (2x)

I'm a half-wit boy
Cracking a smile and wearing it all on my sleeve
So cool and so poised
Its true I'm just around to see
Where this thing goes I'll never know
But all I know is packing bags is a remedy

((Chorus))
This time I'll be nervous
Cause I can't see your hands in front of me tonight
Lets forget all pretense of what they thought we should be
What liars we can be

I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feeling I'll give it away(2x)

She's a maverick she's so smooth
If things go according to plan
I'll have her finished by five a.m.
There's no changing plans
There's no second chance
I've already got both feet through the door
And I can taste the air
And I can taste the air

((Chorus))

Make a sound it's safe for you
To choke in here alone

Whatever I say goes
(Whatever I say goes)
Whatever I say goes
(Whatever I say goes)
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me

. . .


This door has been shut for days
And it's all too familiar
Can't I just crack a window
Can't I just shake it off?

I'm sure I've tasted this before

Everything is out of reach
And I just want to see outside
The air has been getting thin

I feel like cutting it open tonight
And falling on the floor

There's nothing left unused in here
There's nothing left to say

I haven't talked in days
and I'm really not too sure
What I sound like anymore
My vision has gone and my mouth is full of sores

I feel like dripping it dry tonight
Over and over again
It's time to open up the door

. . .


Like I said
"Leave your baggage at the back door"
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights, we can't talk our way out of them

How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?

I'm half way there
It's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be
Dancing on all these charges
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around and around
I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?

I'm half way there
It's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more, for wanting more
This is the way it's got to be
Desolate, alone, and searching
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around and around
I'll tie me down

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Just run!

You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me

I'm half way there
It's all on me

. . .


And I heard a voice through the discord
A deluge of passersby
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by

And I swear I'll know your face in the crowd
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger to be (stronger)
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Here's my kiss to betray (kiss to betray)
Desperate to brush the lips of grace (Brush the lips of grace)
Do you feel hollow when you think of how I lied?

And oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me
And oh sweet angel of mercy
With your grace like the morning
Wrap your loving arms around me

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger to be (stronger)
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger to be (stronger)
Hey unloving
I will love you
I will love you
I will love you

And Jesus I'm ready to come home
I'm ready to come
Jesus I'm ready to come home (home,home)
Hey Unfaithful
Hey Ungraceful
Hey unloving
I will love you

Hey unloving
I will love you
