UH HUH
Ridin' 'round the city with some brand new heat
Brand new car, brand new feet
Brand new seats, brand new smell, put out the roach, light a brand new L
Fuck you bitch, I'm actin' brand new
Fuck you bitch, my shirt brand new
Fuck you bitch, my shoes brand new
Fuck you bitch, I'm actin' brand new
I'm cold like a midnight in Aspen
I am the president and the assassin
Cameras, on big lights, action
Welcome to the show, I am the main attraction
Money in the mattress, money in the attic
Money on my mind, money is my habit
Stay on the grind until the money's automatic
Bitch I love money I'm a fucking fanactic
All day strapped grip tight, graspin'
Say what? Who me? Click-Clack, blast 'em
Chrome 24's tires thin like napkins
Gotta ride big cuz i am like a captain
You know i'm a boss, chillen, relaxin
Probably in my office, doin' my taxes
You little niggas so not in my bracket,
And I don't even have time to practice
I got ice, ridiculous price
Your camera has never saw a picture this nice (Hmm)
I'm fishin and the bitches will bite
It's prolly cuz my game is fixin in tight, Right
I'm fuckin every bad bitch twice
And if she does'nt wear panties then I'll fuck her on sight
I'm nasty like spice
I know what she likes
I can make a black women scream like she white
I can make a white women scream like Mike
But before she start singin', she gotta check my Mic
Niggas just hatin'
And I dun lost sight
It's like i don't see 'em I only see the night
You talkin that shit but you boys just hype
I hope you bring a gun to the fight Aight?
Louis V tennis shoes, big brown stripe
You think you fresh, Nigga I'm ripe
Brand new coupe, drivin' crazy then the mother's
Sittin' low in the seats with the burner sittin' under
Got my tank top toppe on it
Prolly ain't summer
But I ride like that cuz I'm hotter than the others
Damn, theres no keepin up with the brother man
I can spell my name in burnt rubber
I'm gone
Leave me alone
Now the dog is at supper
You can wash my plate an put it back in the cupboard

[Verse 1:]
She's the type of girl that when you meet you'll do right
And she will only come around once in your life
Something like your mama, she'll never bring no drama, she don't do nothing to mess that up.
Feels like a king everytime you with her
She shines like a diamond I hope it fit her, I think I love her
So I sing this song for you, keep doing what ya do
[Chorus:]
It just a feeling that you get when you try something new out
Feeling that you get when ya buying your first house
Dont know if its wrong, dont know if its right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
Buying a fresh pair of shoes when they come out
Finding a special somewhere that you dream about
Dont know if its wrong, dont know if it right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
[Verse 2:]
Two wife beaters, one white one red
Coming out her mama house with roller in her head
Still a cutie though, I'll never let her go
She's worth the wait, I know
My heart, has never felt this way, she's the one, what else can I say?
I love you, and seem soft for you, only you
[Chorus: x2]
It just a feeling that you get when you try something new out
Feeling that you get when ya buying your first house
(buying you first house)
Dont know if its wrong (wrong), dont know if its right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
Buying a fresh pair of shoes when they come out
Finding a special somewhere that you dream about
Dont know if its wrong, dont know if it right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
Go on and break it down
Break it down for me, yeah yeah
Being the man that I am, I ain't never been through nothing like this, i really want someone like to you babe ba babe, cause you make me feel brand new
I really thank yoooooooooouuuu
[Chorus:]
It just a feeling that you get when you try something new out
Feeling that you get when ya buying your first house
Dont know if its wrong, dont know if its right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
Buying a fresh pair of shoes when they come out
Finding a special somewhere that you dream about
Dont know if its wrong, dont know if it right, everytime I'm with you I feel brand new
Oooooh, I'm gon' pour all my life to you cause, you make me feel brand new.
This here is on some truthful shit
It seems like everything I do you're used to it
And I hate hearing stories 'bout who you've been with
That's when I gotta hide, what I'm feeling inside
So you still think I'm confident and damn
Is this gonna last? You're up on a pedestal
Are we moving too fast?
Feel like I'm in crazy competition with the past
That's why I gotta ask
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new, brand new, oh
This here is something personal
Highly doubt this feeling is reversible
Knowledge is pain and that is why it hurts to know
That you attempt to hide and put mistakes aside
So I don't ever question you and damn
I can't even find the perfect brush
So I can paint what's going through my mind
Racing against myself but I'm a couple steps behind
That's why I gotta ask
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new, brand new, oh
Is anything I'm doing brand new
No, no, no, no, no
Is everything I'm doing too late
Late, late, late, late
Did he take off your clothes off just like this
Did he give you loving just like this
Did you spend the night in his bed on the very first date
Tell me, baby, am I too late
Is anything I'm doing brand new
Brand new, brand new
Show me if this is brand new
Man I€™m goin home tonight
Wanna see that full moonlight
A million roads lead out of here
Success and failure, happiness and fear
But I€™ll find my own way back, across that railroad track
Like a baby at your breast In your arms
I€™m at my best I said hello
C€™mon let€™s go
I been goin back and forth
One day south the next day north
This road that I€™ve been traveling is littered with confusion, doubt and sin
But I€™ll find my own way home, tonight I stand alone
Like a lover in your arms
Full of promise, full of charms I said hello
C€™mon let€™s go
Honey dance for me nice and slow
Sing it darling way down deep and low
C€™mon kiss me once again
Be my lover, be my very best friend
Do do do do do do do
We€™re gonna feel brand new
Uh, uh, Here we go, uh
Ah yeah, DJ Flex with Salt and Pepa
And we about to get brand new, ah-ha
Ah yeah, uh, here we go, here we go, uh
Here we go, here we go
We about to give you a D.C. party New York style
Wait a minute
Got the brand new, uh, attitude, what
Raw to the core, hardcore to your gut
Notorious, just scandalous, can't handle this
Black Miss, worth a twist
America, here to remain, maintain
Blowin' up, out the frame, we uppin' in the game
Ten years on your knees, no mercy
You wanna curse me, I'm the queen of controversy
You're thirsty, wonderin' how I got the power
Hour after hour, phat tracks as the money stacks
Keep comin' back with the bomb, to the dawn
Uh, I keeps it on without a break
While others try to fake it, I make it
She's gotta have it, see what I want I take it
No rest with duress, I'm on a quest for fights
(My mic sounds nice) Send a kiss without desire
No stoppin', no stoppin'
No stoppin', let be no stoppin'
No stoppin', no stoppin'
No stoppin', let be no stoppin'
You give me props in my presence, compliments I'm phattest
Status got me high, but that should never matter
Success, blessings, lessons, I got plenty
Rough roads, I travel many
Paid dues so I choose, I call you out, you owe me
Made a way for you, don't play like you don't know me
Can't end till I say when, now come again
With the yes, yes, and then
Check it, check it out, ladies say, ow
To the beat yo, fellas gotta, ho
You gotta earn my respect, break a sweat baby, work it
Eliminate the job, turkey, or you can jerk it
Take it to your face with taste and play on
Billboard chart (Rap part), stay on
Arrive with the mic, it's live and Memorex
Promote safe sex, the best, one love, respect
Once again I got the roughneckin' beats, funk sound
Peace to my peeps, be strong, lock down
Big up to everybody gettin' tons, gettin' funds
Makin' runs, lookin' out for their sons
Here we come, fly girls make your moves
Gotta get the dollar-dollar bills so we livin' how we choose
Brand new, forever reign, you know my name
Cream always rises to the top and it don't stop
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Ow, come on it, jump on it
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're brand new
We got a new attitude, yeah, yeah
Yeah, see I be crankin' up my Kirk Franklin spirituals
Believe I can fly, like the, I Believe in Miracles
Must recognize the one up above
I want you to wrap your hands around my body
Take me to another place, let's get away from here
I want you to let me know exactly how you feel
No holding back, no strings attached, wanna touch your body
Let me show you something brand new
We're through, we'll talk all night
What's on your mind?
Let me show you something brand new
We're through, we'll talk all night
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? Yeah
No one can make me, make me feel this way
Way when you touch me
Touch my soul, make me lose control
I wanna feel everything you give to me
Take my heart, take my body
Take my love but give me all you got
I don't wanna stop loving you
Make me go but baby don't go
Let me show you something brand new
We're through, we'll talk all night
What's on your mind?
Let me show you something brand new
We're through, we'll talk all night
What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?
What's on your mind? What's on your mind?

Yo, let me start off by first apologizing
Girl, you think I take you for granted
But um
I'm here to take it back
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
I know I shouldn't have to ask
But it seems that I've relaxed
And I'm getting the feelings that
It's time I take it back
[Incomprehensible] night escapes
In the car callin' out my name
You being scared when your friend was late
Then being cool when it finally came, those were the days
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Way back when hickies were the thing
You wore bloomers, not that sexy G-string
And gettin' blue balls was a daily thing
But it was alright, with me
To when that very first time went down
How you moaned when I went down
You were the one, I had no doubt
We need to get that back right now 'cause those were the days
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
We're still here
'Cause we conquered every feeling
The fire burns inside like yester year
My baby since back in the day
We knew it would be us
Holding on to that first crush
Had to say today, is what it was
So let's keep on sending, it's only beginning
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Back, like Cadillacs and hubcaps
Back, like leavin' letters in your nap sack
Back, like Jellies and pro keds
Back to girl, when we first met
Back, to when Mike had the glove on
Back, to when our love was so strong
Back, to the days I know you miss
I'll give back, I promise this
Can we pull back a minute and make believe that?
I don't know you and you don't know me
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we explore the places I've already been?
Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend
This old school love is brand new
Let me explore the places I've already been?
Tell me where and I'll kiss it again
Darling, let's pretend again, let's pretend
Baby, I wanna just love you, I wanna love you
I wanna love you, [Incomprehensible] you, [Incomprehensible] you
That's all I wanna do, baby
See you need to focus man
But my girl ain't got snobby, stuntin' like her Daddy
Vroom on her Yamaha, she ride me like a Kawasaki
I call her little butter, sometimes I call her shorty
She only wears dresses, she sleep in Ed Hardy (ya dig?)
It's young Weezy, the 80s baby
And we can get together make 80 babies
Now the house, brand new, the car brand new
But you're still the same old you
And that's why I love you
Girl, from the moment that I saw you, I knew you were the one
Though, we didn't have a lot of money, we still had so much fun (so much fun)
No, matter where you are you'll always be my superstar
If it wasn't for your love, I don't think I'd have gone this far
(Proud of you)
Baby, you never got brand new
Yo, baby, 'cause you never got brand new
I, remember livin' in the projects
I, remember spendin' welfare checks
That, something you never never forget
How could I abandon you now?
You'll always be a superstar
(You will always be)
No matter where you are
(My heart has never felt this before)
Baby, you never got brand new
Yo, baby, you never got brand new
Baby, we came from nothing
And we turned it into something
And we never ever act like:
We're too good, we too boozy for the hood life
Real recognize real, and you know this
Living with me in the streets and the show biz
(Now everybody know your name, and they caught up in the fame)
(You still the same, nobody can keep up with you, yeah)
'cause you never got brand new (all the money)
You never got brand new (proud of you)
Without you
I was just a lid without a spoon
A stranger in this town without a clue
Baby my whole world is
Brand new
Brand new
Brand new
Now with you
Everyday is like a Sunday afternoon
And every time you leave you leave too soon
Baby my whole world is
Brand new
Brand new
Brand new
Now you've gone
I'm just a winters night without a dawn
And everyday its so much harder to move on
There's nothing I'd rather do
Than to be with you
We can start again
Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen?
It's ink that lies,
the pen, the page, the paper.
I live, I learn.
You will always take what I have earned.
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning.
Our friends speak out in our defense.
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent.
We burn their gallows they erect,
and cut the nooses they tie for our necks.
You constantly make it impossible to make conversation.
Keep us comatose but audible.
And I like it the farther I get out.
We pass it off but it's all on us.
Only common conversation,
it took everything I got.
And I like it the farther I get out.
Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head.
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted.
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge.
Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.
We slip concealed back to the keep.
Concede to do the work for free.
Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up(wake up)it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)
The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fule lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anyhting
I've got another 500 nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
Just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
This happened before and I'm sure it'll happen again
It's getting old, I could never know
This is not the first time, she says its the last time again
And you're a tease
No, I'm kidding
Give it some time
Take my advice
See these scars on me
I'm just marking territory
But I know a million girls who'd kill to be you right now.
Give me one night inside of your theighs
A million girls would kill to be you
Right now
And its happened before, and it'll happen again
When your boyfriend comes home I should get
Terribly close, and you'd never know
Wouldnt be the first time
Dont think this'll ever end
And you're a tease
No I'm kidding
Give it some time
Take my advice
See these scars on me
I'm just marking territory
But I know a million girls who'd kill to be here right now.
GIve me one night inside of your theighs
A million girls would kill to be you
Right now
And this has happened before
And it'll happen again
One thing a girl I want is going to come
Laetitia, you destroy me,
so I can't see why I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever
perfectly perfect together. I know.
Broken down in my dead bedroom,
stuttering to pictures of you.
I know that you can always see me.
I saw you staring through my TV last night.
So I'll leave the door open all night,
in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...(the one that goes...)
My friends all call me crazy cause I
stay up late anticipating,
and planning for the day I sweep you
off your feet, I'd never leave you alone.
Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
I'm begging you oh baby please stop breaking
my heart because I got the feeling
that you and I will never really get it on.
So I'll leave the door open all night,
in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...(the one that goes...)
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need,
or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines.
Come to me.
The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need,
or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines.
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need,
or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines.
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need,
or I'll be left alone forever…
Laetitia, you destroy me,
so I can see why I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever
Watch you on the one's and two's
Through a window in a well lit room
Become a recluse
And I blame myself 'cause I make things hard
And you're just trying to help
And when I wake up you're the first to call
This is one more late night basement song
And I'm so sore
My voice has gone to hell
This is one more sleepless night because we
Don't believe in filler, baby
If I could, I'd sit this out
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night, I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself pickin' at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design
And we just want to sleep
But this night is hell
I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself
'Cause I make things hard
And you were tryin' to help
I got no gas windin' out my gears
(No gas)
This is one more day on the verge of tears
And now my head hurts
(Head hurts)
And my health is a joke and now I gotta stop
Because the headphones broke
We don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I'd sit this out
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night, I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself pickin' at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
It's failure by design
I'm out of everything
No one sleeps till we get this shit
Out on the shelves
It's late, I'm faltering
This time, I got nothin' to say besides
Do do do, do do do
([Incomprehensible])
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
([Incomprehensible])
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
([Incomprehensible])
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Nothing to say besides
(This is over when I say it's over)
This is a lesson in procrastination
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night, I gotta race the clock
(I ignore it and it ignores me too)
Let's say we go and crash your car?
And every time I leave you go and lock the door
And I walk myself pickin' at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older
Well I talk
Too much
To myself
And I turn my back on my faith
It's like glass
When we Break
I wish no one in my place
And I've seen
You don't need their seeds
When the cut goes in deep
And I'm lost in sleep
I can't stay
In this place
I can't stand
When the room turns round
On my fate
You give no guarantees
There's no promise
I can keep
I can't stand
I can't see my way
I feel blind
On my feet
I can't stay too long
Am I wrong?
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
I'm so tired
Of my mood
And sleep comes
With a knife, fork and a spoon
You're so pale
In your face
You let life
Get in your way
And I've seen
You don't need their seeds
When the cut goes in deep
And I'm lost in sleep
Am I wrong?
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
Goodbye, lay the blame on luck
So, it's sad that doesn't suit you now.
And me fresh out of rope...
Please ignore this lisp, I never meant to sound like this.
So take me and break me and make me strong like you.
I'll be forever grateful to this and you.
It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose it's only you.
Fix me to a chain around your neck and wear me like a nickel.
Even new wine served in old skins will cheapen the taste.
I shot the pilot, now I'm begging you to fly this for me.
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised.
Do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful.
Or don't want anyone.
If I can choose, it's only you.
But how could I miscalculate... perfect eyes will have perfect aim.
If I can choose, it's only you.
"We're wrecking" and I'm dry like a drum...
so fine I'll leave... we're spent...
take our time... measured... we slave for days.
It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose.
It's only you.
But how could I miscalculate...
perfect lies from a perfect dame.
Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter and this morning I threw up fire.
But it's nothing new. I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room.
Every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat.
Every stupid melody to every stupid song.
And every stupid word that everybody's hanging on.
What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
So call 911.
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
and held responsible for this bloody mess.
Last night I fell asleep next to a liar and I woke up with a shiner.
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back
with a view of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head.
This dark and quiet bed felt like the middle of nowhere.
We beat each other up just like we always do.
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you.
What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911.
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
and held responsible for this bloody mess.
Call homicide. Take the case to court.
Her lips taste like a loaded gun
and I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor.
They hung her from the bridge on Monday.
The gathering turned into a mob out on the lawn.
They dropped her body in the river.
And school and work returned to normal before long...
Call 911.
I'm already dead but someone should be caught
and held responsible for this bloody mess.
Call homicide. Take the case to court.
Her lips taste like a loaded gun
Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anything
I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever (first kisses)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen (November to...)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said (nightswimmers)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
Just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
i am heaven sent,
don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..
i hope this song starts a craze.
the kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
the kind of song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.
this is war.
every line is about,
who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something
they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh its so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
cuz you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and its all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldnt stop if i could.
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
oh, so let it go..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason your alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
Please don't be technology
So I can't turn off your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back just to be fed
Don't be waves
Come and seal my fate, Marine
Just pretend that you want me
would you be my babe
To be my
Well don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can't breath
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?
And if you break
Just don't tell me
would you be my babe
To be my dream
Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong)
Settle baby, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
Outside your cold lips again
Settle baby, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun
So let's pretend that you love me
And be my babe
I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being careful.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.
I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.
Well Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
I used to pray a God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.
I used to know the name of every person I kissed.
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it.
Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
Throw me that lifeline,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
Never hit the brakes
there's no time to save him,
he's run out in the street
anybody know his name?
I think I recognize him
sure it's him?
... mistake
Woah.
So take me out tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
To save my life tonight.
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
A Millstone around my neck
Well I lost my taste for the company of airports and cars
We flew through the year and
avoided the dust and rock.
We stood in the way of the tank till we bored and stopped
So never show doubt in your hand
till you know what they got
Touch me or don't
Just let me know,
where you've been
Well drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
(one, two, three, four)
Well I'm uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
(five, six, seven, eight)
Shimmering under the moon made of anger and hate
I was the one who was always repeating it
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away,
you'll never listen to anything)
Touch me or don't
Just let me know,
where you've been
Leave it alone, I'm sure there's someone who knows
Consider this a letter that I never sent
However inconsiderate it seems
Do you still consider me,
consider me the boy you laughed with
or that you learned to live without?... I suck,
I know I'm late,
I know you waited
You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone
My phone bills stacked up by my bedside,
with your picture, you're looking surprised
You're what makes New England so great
My island nights are all spent dying
Wait for summer to become wrought with lips,
my wishful thinking
You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone
(Yeah you wouldn't get me)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(You wouldn't get me)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You wouldn't get me on the phone)
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's absolutely, definitely gone (definitely gone)
I never thought this day would end (never thought this day would end)
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me (close to me)
So let my hands stray past that boundaries of your back
to get you breathing (get you breathing)
And get this started (get this started)
You wouldn't get me, you wouldn't get me
You wouldn't get me on the phone
(Yeah, you wouldn't get me)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(You wouldn't get me)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You couldn't make me not alone)
In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind.
If you're leaving, just let me know.
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints.
A film in her eyes from the glow.
Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And shedefends it with a warped rationale.
And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown.
And we learn as we age.
We've learned nothing and my body still aches.
And you take cause they give.
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.
When it got old outside, smoke beneath the playground lights.
If you're coming home, just let me know.
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins.
A film in her eyes from the glow.
Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour.
And everything I said about how messed your head is,
Was cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor.
Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters.
Take the picture from the plane and it's a long ways to the floor.
Cut your finger on the edge cause it's sharper than they told you.
The time has come for colds and overcoats.
We're quiet on the ride,
we're all just waiting to get home.
Another week away, my greatest fear.
I need the smell of summer,
I need its noises in my ears.
If looks could really kill,
then my profession would be staring.
Please know we do this cause we care
and not for the thrill.
Collect calls to home
to tell them that I realize
that everyone who lives will someday die
and die alone.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
I wrote more postcards than hooks.
I read more maps than books.
Feel like every chance to leave
is another chance I should have took.
Every minute is a mile.
I've never felt so hollow.
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
and empty aisles.
My secrets for a buck.
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
to spill my guts. I won't see home till spring.
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
You win, you win, you win.
And the coastline is quiet.
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
The water is red."
Like you, like you.
And we won't let you in.
Though we're down and out.
No we won't let you in.
And we won't let you in.
We don't want what isn't ours.
We won't let you in.
So you tried to put a fire out
But you used gasoline
And when the congregation gathered 'round
You're screaming, "It wasn't me"
So there's a sickness that is going round
But no one's got a vaccine
I think we're treading holy water
I think it's time we all come clean
I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost
It feels like I'm trying to hold smoke
I swear it's like dying to catch a ghost
It feels like I'm trying to hold smoke
When the army had to hold the line
You were nowhere near the front
Before the kids could tell their dog goodbye
Well, you were loading up your gun
Well, I wanna know why there's a great divine
I wanna know what I've become
You think that no one else is lonesome
You think that you're the only one
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Well, I'll try to find a way
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Goodbye to sleep
I think this staying up is exactly what I need
Well, take apart your head
Take apart the counting, and the flock it has bred
Goodbye to love
Well, it's alright I'll push you up right against the wall
Take apart your head right against the wall
Chew it up and swallow it
You're brought back but you're running
I'll find sleep in the end tonight
I can't shake this little feeling
I'll never get anything right
Goodbye you liar
Well, you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head and I wish I could inspire
Well, take apart your demons, then you add it to the list
Goodbye my love
Bring you back but you're running
I'll find sleep in the end tonight
I can't shake this tiny feeling
I'll never say anything right
I'm on my own, I'll never say anything right
I'm on my own, I'll never say anything right
I'm on my own, I'll never say anything right
I'm on my own, I'll never say anything right
Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
When we were made we were set apart
Life is a test and I get bad marked
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming, the storm is coming in
You're brought back but you're running
I'll find sleep in the end tonight
I can't shake this little feeling
I'll never get anything right
I'm on my own, I'll never say anything right
I'm on my own
Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
Well, you're my favorite bird and when you sing
I really do wish that you'd wear my ring
No matter what they say, I am still the king
I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows its face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say
I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on
Well, if we take all these things and we bury them fast,
And we pray that they turn to seeds, to roots, and then grass
It'd be alright, it's alright, it'd be easier that way
Well, if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like it knew it was time to start things over again
It'd be alright, it's alright, it'd be easier that way
Well, if we take all these things and we bury them fast,
And we pray that they turn to seeds, to roots, and then grass
It'd be alright, it's alright, it'd be easier that way
Well, if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like it knew it was time to start things over again
There's blood and feathers on my torn paws
You ain't nothin' but a dead duck and i ain't nothing but
a hound dog
You sleep in the windows and vents and i lay in the grass and lose your scent
if God gives me grace why aren't i graceful
My joints are frozen,cold,and old
And i idle
If it's by air i don't wanna know
If we all don't take cover we're all gonna fall back in love again
you work late fight off your boss
your patient dies you take the night off
Since they've worked out all of the bugs
If you have enough money you can buy love
You can file out of your reception seating
while i sing sing sing these ten lords still leaping
The mark on your breast from your baby's teething i'll give him my name if he's needing
If it's by sea i don't wanna know if we all don't take cover we're all gonna fall back in love again
Bless your beautiful hide curse your god when your friends die
If it's by air i don't want to know if we all don't take cover we're all gonna fall back in love again
You work late to fight off your pulse
you get the car
I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out how it works
Don't let me know what you find out
I need a car
You need a guide
Who needs a map
If I don't die or worse I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back
I wanna see it when you find out what comets, stars, and moons are all about
I wanna see their faces turn to backs of heads and slowly get smaller
I wanna see it now
I want specifics on the general idea
I wanna think what I should know
Want you to do me what to show
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon
I wanna see it untame itself and break its owner
I wanna see it now
Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling
'Cause we believe in everything
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
So we strap ourselves into this engine now
With a guard that we found a way into the backseat
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
All that you've got is to ignore the things I was sorry
And sweep me under the rug
And a beating with a book everyone, the book tells you to love
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And it's burning hot with love
Burning out my sins until there's nothing but dust
Holding me with care into your cigarette
'Cause the God I believe in worked on a campaign trail
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things the ground?
What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Feels like we could escape this
I might throw it away
For fear of the silver sun
If you try running a maze
Of your lies, it's too hard to save
When I disappear, do you fear for my sister and talk
When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good
I am drearily blunt, letting this time, waiting for too long
So the last thing you realize you?ll miss what you've already got
So touch me or don't, just let me know
Where you've been
Please draw me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
Well, I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
Shimmering under a moon made in anger and angst
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate
Touch me or don't, just let me know
Where you've been
We could leave it alone, I'm sure there's someone who knows
Where you've been
You never worked well with our group
Not with the faults we found
So we fixed you with cement galoshes
And no one can save you now
Unless you have friends among fish
There'll still be no air to breathe
You could drink up the entire ocean
I'll still find someone to be everything we know that you'll never be
So touch me or don't, just let me know
Where you've been
Or we could leave it alone, I'm sure there's someone who knows
Where you've been
So, it's sad this doesn't suit you now.
And me fresh out of rope...
Please ignore this lisp, I never meant to sound like this.
So take me and break me and make me strong like you.
I'll be forever grateful to this and you.
It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose it's only you.
Fix me to a chain around your neck and wear me like a nickel.
Even new wine served in old skins cheapens the taste.
I shot the pilot, now I'm begging you to fly this for me.
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised.
Do you understand?
It's only you, beautiful.
Or don't want anyone.
If I can choose, it's only you.
But how could I miscalculate... perfect eyes will have perfect aim.
If I can choose, it's only you.
“We're wrecking” and I'm dry like a drum...when you scream
so fine I'll leave... we're spent... we've got time and trials...
measured in miles... we slave for days (and weeks).
It's only you, beautiful.
Or I don't want anyone.
If I can choose. It's only you.
But how could I miscalculate... perfect lies from a perfect dame.
It's funny how your worst enemies always seem to turn out to be all of your best friend's best friends.
But I folded and I told.
These aren't things I've saved to sing you,
but I folded and I told.
So draw or throw and I will explode.
It's time for you to choose, the bullet or the chapstick.
Or "you are far too cute to be appreciated by a..." or whatever he said.
Every time I hear it (him) I am wishing I was great.
I wished her (past tense) my best friend.
But then I folded and I told.
These aren't things I say to save me.
But I folded, I told.
I hope she's caught in the explosion.
It's time for you to choose, the bullet or the chapstick.
Or "you are far too cute to be appreciated by a..." or whatever he said.
This is me in his room.
Red. Gold. I told.
We don't play fair.
Red. Gold. I told.
We never stand too close.
So I update this almost every single day for you.
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you go.
So go tell him why my wrist is sore,
from pulling out your insides all night.
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover's tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it's you I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well...
Hallelu...
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Back in school they never taught us
what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair
or someone breakin your heart
For twelve years I've held it all together
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember I kept thinking
that I know you never would
And now I know I want to kill you
like only a best friend could
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
As if it happening wasn't enough
I got to go and write a song
just to remind myself how bad it sucked
Ignore the sun, covers over my head
Wrote a message on my pillow that says
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!)
Search your cell for something which to hang yourself
They say you need to pray
if you want to go to heaven
But they don't tell you what to say
when your whole life has gone to Hell!
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
Everyone's caught on to
(and I can't let you let me down again)
everything you do
Everyone's caught on to...
(and I can't let you let me down again)
So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
Have another drink and drive yourself home
I hope there's ice on all the roads
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windshield
Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation
And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say "best friends" means friends forever
Is that what you call a getaway?!!
Tell me what you got away with!!
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!
Have another drink and drive yourself home!!
I hope there's ice on all the roads!!
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt
then when your head goes through the windshield!!
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
(I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
(and I can't let you let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to...
AHHHH!!!
I got a twenty-dollar bill that says no one's ever seen you without makeup.
You're always made up.
And I'm sick of your tattoos,
and the way you always criticize the Smiths... and Morrissey.
And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.
But when I say let's keep in touch,
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mixtape.
It's short just like your temper,
but somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got to cool...
I got a twenty-dollar bill that says no one's ever seen you without makeup.
You're always made up.
And I'm sick of your tattoos, and the way you don't appreciate Brand New or me
And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic.

I hope you know I mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mixtape.

Space cadet, pull out.
Space cadet, pull out.
I can never love you
I can never love you, I can never reach you
Hey, you're right get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
Pretend your garden grows and that it's your day to wed.
We found your man he's drinking up, he's all-american.
And he'll drive.
He's voluntarily graced to end your life,
He'll tidy up,
It's sad to hope leave your shell to us,
You explode,
You firefly, a tiny boat with all,
Further on the world tilts back and poison pours.
And so, your satellite.
You're a tidal wave, you're a big surprise.
And I, one more night to be your mother.
This signal's interrupts,
Maybe it's frequency's not strong enough.
It remade my hands and smile,
We will miss you but in time you'll get set up,
We will rise!
You're so free, yeah you were right about me,
Can I get myself back from underneath this guilt that will crush me,
And in the choir i saw a sad messiah,
He was bored and tired of my laments,
'said I died for you one time but never again.
(never again)
Well I love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
One'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Two'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Three'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Four'll love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Five'll will love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply,
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Six'll I love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
Seven loves you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
Because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
(never again)
I said loved you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime
We break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine
I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that there mothers wouldn't cry
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd wait for you outside the courtroom
As all of your appeals were declined
I'd drive my car off of the bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
Put the petal to the floor, who could ask for more
A fantastic way to kill some time
If you could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
(You could try anyway)
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lying
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lying
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea
I'm burning like a bridge for your body
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea
Keep the noise low.
She doesn't wanna blow it.
Shaking head to toe
while your left hand does "the show me around."
Quickens your heartbeat.
It beats me straight into the ground.
You don't recover from a night like this.
A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets
barely whisper, "This is so messed up."
Upon arrival the guests had all stared.
Dripping wet and clearly depressed,
he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch,
unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.
(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)
He keeps his hands low.
He doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe and
his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward
and he starts growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
She hits the lights.
This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends,
he doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth.
He's gasping for air.
"This is the first and last time," he says.
She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her
exactly what it really feels like.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her,
but she's probably only looking for se-...
(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)
So much more than he could ever give.
A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He waits for it to end
and for the aching in his guts to subside.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.
The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
We sent out the SOS call.
It was a quarter past four in the morning when the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea, four months of calm seas to be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.
They call them rogues, they travel fast and alone.
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk, cause you will always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own.
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts to bail us out.
And flooded the engines and radio and half buried bow.
Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef.
The vessel groans the ocean pressures its frame.
Too the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.
They say that the captain stays fast with the ship through still and storm.
But this ain't the Dakota, and the water's cold (so cold).
We won't have to fight for long.
This is the end.
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear.
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath.
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.
I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.
I know that this is what you want.
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know that you are not alone.
Need you like water in my lungs.
Ever since I was young, your word is the word that always won
Worry and wake the ones you love
A phone call I'd rather not receive, please use my body while I sleep
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
Kept clean and they will let you breathe
Is this the way a toy feels
When its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear
But you forget to wind
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
I'm not writing my goodbyes
I submit no excuse if this is what I have to do
I owe you every day I wake, if I could I would shrink myself
And sink through your skin to your blood cells
Remove whatever makes you hurt, but I am too weak to be your cure
Is this the way a toy feels
When its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear
But you forget to wind
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
I'm not writing my goodbyes
I'm not letting you check out, you will beat this starting now
And you will always be around
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping
I will keep you safe and sound
Does anybody remember back
When you were very young?
Did you ever think that you
Would be this blessed?
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad, but true
Out of cash and I.O.U's
I've got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
A sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know
All the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
I will lie awake
Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes its demands
You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand. I hope you find out what you want. I already know what I am. And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again. And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am. I'll grow old and start acting my age. I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate. A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone. And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget. If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of the state. You can keep to yourself. I'll keep out of your way. And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down. Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out. It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room, when I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds. So call it quits or get a grip. Say you wanted a solution. You just wanted to be missed. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive.
I cashed in all my chips tonight and combed my hair till it was just right.
Cause I've been thinking about you and me girl, and we got something going on.
You told me you can't wait to see me and then you didn't bother to even show up.
This whole situation is incredibly typical, I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make my think I'm better
off at home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you baby.
You call me on the phone, and you don't even want to talk.
You're staring at me from across the room then turn your back when I walk up.
We got inches away, and I never even got close.
So leave your lipstick at home.
Don't pick up the phone.
Don't bother to look in my direction.
I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make me
think I'm better off home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you, baby.
Forget everything you think you know about me.
This isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff.
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish.
So here's a present to let you know I still exist.
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips.
But I got a plan (I got a plan)
Drink (drift) for forty days and forty nights.
A sip for every second-hand tick.
And for every time you fed me the line, "you mean so much to me...".
I'm without you.
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Who would do anything you say.
(And even if her plane)
And even if her plane crashes tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me,
by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea.
"Jess, I still taste you, thus reserve my right to hate you."
And all this empty space that you create does nothing for my flawless sense of style.
It's 8:45 (it's 8:45). The weather is getting better by the hour.
(Rains all the time) I hope it rains there all the time.
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied.
I'm without you.
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Who would do anything you say.
Who would do anything you say
Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it
No more songs about you
After this one, I am done
You are, you are, you're gone
So tell all the English boys you meet, about the American boy back in the states.
The American boy you used to date.
Jesus Christ has a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
It'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out
And everything good is happening somewhere else?
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive, I won't know anyone
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did You do those three days You were dead?
'Cuz this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?
Do I divide and fall apart?
'Cuz my bright is too sly to hold back all my dark
And the ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hold my lies
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to never give up
So do you think that we could work out a song
Some know that it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory
Yeah, we all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine
Keep the noise low, She doesn’t want to blow it.
Shaking head to toe while your left hand does "the show me around"
Quickens your heartbeat, It beats me straight into the ground
You don’t recover from a night like this.
A victim, still lying in bed - completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets barely whisper,
"This is so messed up."
Upon arrival the guests had all stared,
Dripping wet and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch.
Unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.
(Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.)
He keeps his hands low,
He doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe, and his eyes give her the up and the down.
His stomach turns, and he thinks of throwing up
But the body on the bed beckons forward, and he starts growing up.
The fever, the focus,
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathe,
but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
She hits the lights,
This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared.
She's breathing quiet and smooth,
He is gasping for air.
"This is the first and last time", he says
She fakes a smile, and presses her hips into his.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast, and all he wanted was to hold her.
Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for...
(Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes the art of growing old.)
So much more than he could ever give,
A life full of lies and meaningful relationships.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides,
He waits for it to end and for the aching in his gut to subside.
The fever, the focus,
The reason that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of
It used to be the reason that I breathed,
but now it's choking me up.
Die young and save yourself.
Up the stairs, the station where the act becomes, the art of growing old.
The fever, the focus,
The reason that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
Die young and save yourself.
The tickle, the taste of
It used to be the reason that I breathed,
but now it's choking me up.
We were doomed from the start, as starters are.
Why am I doing this?
Digging my own grave. Though it's shallow,
I would lie in it.
We're down in the basement, in the dark,
after we crash your car.
Hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark,
so you know who we are.
Please keep the reporters at bay.
This is a matter of life and death,
but I deal with things like this everyday.
Please keep the reporters at bay.
You never do what I tell you to.
You never do what I say.
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.
We all have sizeable scars. We got it.
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
Yes we are a bullet in the heart
and the message sent.
Always dragging your feet over sand
and over hot cement.
Make a list of your favorites. Write it down.
Make it legible.
A problem we're always facing. You never rest.
You either push or pull.
Please keep the crowd under control.
This is a matter of life and
death and we're not prepared. I just want you to know.
Please keep the crowd under control.
This is the weight of my conscience.
This is an all time low.
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.
We all have sizeable scars. We got it.
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
We can make it work like this, like this, like this...
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.
I hear my bones break all the time.
I see my baby. She's starry eyed.
She follows. Don't call me unkind.
We've been hurting a long time. Trying hard for this.
We all have sizeable scars. We got it.
You'd break it all apart. We got it.
Hey hey hey! Mr. Hangman,
Go get your rope
Your daughters weren't careful,
I fear that I am a slippery slope
Now even if I lay my head down at night
After a day I got perfectly right
She won't know...
She won't know...
She won't know...
So pray, little Kay, love's God on a good day
And you can't blame your mother,
She's trying not to say I was the worst mistake
And I wish that I could tell you right now (...I love you)
But it looks like I won't be around
So you won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
So believe in me, believe them
You think I'll let you down
Well I won't
They can fire everything they've got
And when you think i'm sunk,
I will float on (...and die)
I am fine to put your gun to my life
And know I'm scared it won't fire right
You won't know...
You won't know...
You won't know...
You're never going to feel as full as you felt
So let's go outside and we'll play William Tell
Take your time drawing a bead
I'll stand as still as you need
'Cause you're so good at talking smack,
You Heart attack
But you're the apple of my eye anyway
The smile on your face,
It's on your plate...
It's on a silver plate
So they say,
They say in heaven
There's no husbands and wives
On the day that I show up
They'll be completely out
Of their forgiveness supplies
And I cant use the telephone
To tell you that I'm dead and gone
So you won't know
You won't know...
You won't know...
Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling
cause we believe in everything
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
So we strap ourselves into this engine now
We look hard and we found a way into the backseat.
What did you learn tonight?
you're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
you're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
All that you've got is to ignore the things I was sorry
and sweep me under the rug
And a beating with a book everyone
the book tells you to love
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And its burning hot with love
Burning out my sins until there's nothing but dust
holding me with care into your cigarette
Cause the God I believe in worked on a campaign trail
What did you learn tonight?
you're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
you're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things the ground?
What did you learn tonight?
you're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
you're a voice that never sings, is what I say
You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say
Feels like we could escape this
I might throw it away for fear of the silver sun
If you try running a maze of your lies
Was losing all my friends.
Was losing them to drinking and to driving.
Was losing all my friends, but I got them back.
I am on the mend.
At least now I can say that I am trying.
And I hope you will forget things I still lack.
Yeah. Yeah.
Is it in you now,
To barely hear the truth that you have spoken?
Twisted up by knaves,
To make a trap for fools.
Is it in you now,
To watch the things you gave your life to broken?
And stoop and build them up with warn out tools.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Nothing gets so bad,
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it.
Your whisper's like a bridge, he's a river span.
Take all that you have,
And turn it into something you were missing.
Somebody threw that brick, shattered all your plans.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.
It takes a while to grow anything,
Before it's coming to the end, yeah.
Before you put my body in the cold ground,
Take some time to warm it with your hand,
Before it's coming to an end, yeah.
It's coming to an end, yeah.
It's coming to an end, yeah.
Do you miss the blend,
Colors she left in your black and white field?
Do you feel condemned just being there?
I am not your friend.
I am just a man who knows how to feel.
I am not your friend.
I'm not your lover.
I'm not your family.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. (Oh.)
Yeah.
Time to get the seeds into the cold ground.
It takes a while to grow anything,
It's funny how your worst enemies always seem to
turn out to be all of your
best friend's best friends
But I folded and I told
These aren't things I saved to sink you
but I folded, I told
So draw or throw and I will explode
It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
And you are far too cute or whatever he said
Every time I hear it I am wishing I was great
I wish her... past tense my best friend
But I folded and I told
These aren't things I say to save me
But I folded, I told
I hope she's caught in the explosion
It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
And you are far too cute or whatever he said
It's time for you to choose
It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
This is me in his room
This is me in his room
This is me in his room
Red, gold, I told
We don't play fair
Red, gold, I told
We never stand too close
So I update this almost every single day for you
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you do
Go tell him how my wrist is sore
from pulling at your insides all night
Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know,
like how to deal with despair, or someone breaking your heart.
For twelve years I've held it all together but a night like this is begging to pull me apart.
I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation.
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen.
I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would,
and now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could.
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to.
As if this happening wasn't enough I got to go
and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked.
Ignore the sun, the cover's over my head.
I wrote a message on my pillow that says, "Jesse, stay asleep in bed."
So don't apologize. I hope you choke and die.
Search your cell for something with which to hang yourself.
They say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven
but they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.
Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to
And everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again.)
Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)
So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with.
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield.
And is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back.
So let's end this call, and end this conversation.
and is that what you call a getaway?
well tell me what you got away with.
cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
when you say best friends means friends forever
So, is that what you call a getaway?
Well tell me what you got away with.
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield.
Everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again)
Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you, let me down again)
And everyone's caught on to everything you do (And I can't let you, let me down again)
And it comes down to you.
Never and ever.
Wrecked his day with looks and flirts
and midnight in your shortest skirts.
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed.
Thank her for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong.
Stop these looks and letters.
This isn't for the better.
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl.
Stop the circulation to my legs and break my bones.
Dateless and late, I'm better by myself at home.
Past the point of trying, and I'm dying here.
Secondary. She laughs at every word I know came out completely wrong.
Stop these looks and letters.
This isn't for the better.
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl.
And it's my last semester...
And brothers always come first.
It's my last semester (It's my last semester)
At least until next winter. (At least until next winter}
But I'm sure that I'll be over this by then.
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed.
Thank her for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong.
Stop these looks and letters.
This isn't for the better.
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl.
Better scenes... I wish she'd seen me.
Better off if I just let it be.
Better pretend it don't matter.
I'd be better off if I could have her.
Better days since the day I met her.
I better hope she got my letters.
I think I'm crazy, baby, let you off the hook to easy
If you were a telephone, you'd still be off the hook
This is my last leg
Been awake for days
In a minute I'll die of starvation
I'll come back a ghost if I can haunt you
and float around your room.
What do I do when you get close?
If I kissed your neck, would you slit my throat?
Are you thinking of me when you're putting on your makeup,
darling, and dying your hair like you do
Well you're wasting time if you're trying to impress me
I waste all my time just thinking of you
And I'm not imagining how you give me the shivers,
standing up to your waste in your river
You're the sweetest boat-builder I think I've ever seen
Dream in Japanese, dream in Japanese,
some language I don't even know how to speak
You're still pretty and I am still choked up,
it's probably just the same
The more I hang around you,
the more hang-ups I get (more hang-ups I get)
Are you thinking of me when you're putting on your makeup, darling,
and dying your hair like
you do? (dying your hair like you do)
Well you're wasting time if you're trying to impress me
I waste all my time just thinking of you
I know that you're an angel,
though you could never stay true (you could never stay true)
Hey angel, I think your halo has a screw loose,
'cause you dropped me like a brick off the rooftop of your high school
Could I watch the next time you're applying your eyeliner?

I don't like it unless it's (brand new)
You might see me in my (brand new) whip
With my (brand new) bitch, pumpin' my (brand new) shit
You don't like it - get off my (brand new) dick
They say your attitude determines your latitude
I'm high as a motherfucker - fly as a motherfucker
And still the motherfucker you love to hate
But can't - because you love what I make
Now ain't - that about a bitch
And I'ma talk shit until I'm out of hits
They don't want to turn they speakers up they claim I ain't deep enough
All that talkin' I feed off of - keep it up
I'm relaxin' my feet is up - I'm leavin' you haters
Like when Shaq left the Lakers just to "Heat" it up
I state the stats to stunt - I don't need to front
I make history e'ry day - I don't need a month
The survey says - by the streets according
Kanye's just important as Michael Jordan
Was to the NBA when he was scorin'
Ralph Lauren was borin' before I wore him and..
I don't like it unless it's (brand new)
You might see me in my (brand new) whip
With my (brand new) bitch, pumpin' my (brand new) shit
You don't like it - get off my (brand new) dick

You don't like it - get off my (brand new) dick
Now some women hit the mall and some shop at the thrift store
Some of 'em mix and match and make it look like they get more
Some of y'all know you wear a sixteen - squeezin' into a six
Damn - what you make them jeans rip for?
I guess she's lookin' for a brand new man who
Ain't always gotta sit down cause he can't stand you
Boo - this the brand new jam to dance to
While you givin' me "Head" like shampoo - come as you came
Skip the brand name - I won't brand you
What you do here'll stay here like Cancun
Besides your breasts is augmented - I like things authentic
Look at all my whips, they're all vintage
I got a loft with a view of the sea
See I take some more shit and make it new for me
Pimp it out like Xzibit to the (oomph) degree
Why spend and arm and a leg - we can kick it for free you see..
I don't like it unless it's (brand new)
You might see me in my (brand new) whip
With my (brand new) bitch, pumpin' my (brand new) shit
You don't like it - get off my (brand new) dick nigga
?? bustin' and then hit 'em - fuck the cynicism
I'm quick to give y'all niggaz constructive criticism
Like "Wait - you basically suck" - his mother said "My son wanna rhyme!"
I'm like "Ma'am - I don't agree with that decision
Nothin' against him - but if he step I got to diss him
I listen to that weak shit - all of it - I can't follow it
Excuse me - I'm "whack"tose intolerant
"I worked too hard to get my baby ballin' kid!"
Down the fives - had me blue collar poppin' it
Now I'm in the club - and look who I get it poppin' with
Me and 'Ye go back like crew cuts
He hook me up - as long as I don't ask him for too much
But even he know 'Fest is layin' it down
Cause this is just an old beat he had layin' around!
I don't like it unless it's (brand new)
You might see me in my (brand new) whip
With my (brand new) bitch, pumpin' my (brand new) shit
You don't like it - get off my (brand new) dick
Kanye I don't like it unless it's (brand new)
You might see me in my (brand new) whip
With my (brand new) bitch, pumpin' my (brand new) shit
I thought I lost it all,
until the day that I met you.
Falling out, losing face.
All for someone new.
Someone so new, we had a table meant for two.
Someone so new, so I could have a girl like you.
Someone like you.
We don't have to do it again,
I know, you never were to blame.
We have this, nothing stays the same,
I know I'll always be,
more than just your friend.
They thought they had us in,
but I had more than that in you.
Picking up, Moving on,
Holding on to you.
Someone so new, we had a table meant for two.
Someone so new, so I could have a girl like you.
Someone like you.
What made them think,
they ever had a chance at us?
That was a line we had to cross.
What made you think, I had ever given up?
That would be my only regret.
I thought I lost it all,

That was a line we had to cross.
What made you think, I had ever given up?
That would be my only regret.
I need you here.
Thanks to k-leb (thisaintnorodeo

O Yeah,
I’m brand new like you haven’t unwrapped it
Head over heals got bloggers doin back flips
Am where I am cause my fans and some practice
I could go for 90, bet the kid is match fit
Girls on my page writing Sammy is a bastard
Thinking that they special but got treated like the last chick
Knowing that my fan base stretches like elastic
Jaw droppin beats like its better than the last shit
But still, I’m in the paint by the basket
This that one take new flow straight classic
Yeah I see the true shining bright if you look close
Rappers dropping names forgot to add the foot notes
In all honesty hatings not a part of me
Respect’s in my blood I don’t need a bibliography
I show love cause that’s what I’ve always dug
If ya ass ain’t got a shovel get the fuck out of the mud
It’s sandbox I’m Smalls first time on the Sandlot
Tryin to learn the rules maybe get myself a damn shot
Yeah, I’m hittin veins you could have never drawn
Pumpin blood no rubber bands around the arm
But lookin back when I started as a critics young
To makin hits with a grin as the crowd applause, pause
I’m diggin deeper with my gritty paws
Tryin to get it poppin with a presence no Santa Claus
Yeah, and I’m the spitter who defy’s the laws,
Bringing the heat I’m unexpected like some menopause
Ha, I never thought that one of my songs,
Would spread quick on a thousand different iPods
Yeah, I’m human and I got benign flows
Rappin with the competition chillin up in my jaws
Thinking in my mind how to write my wrongs
Tying all this change into ends that defy laws
Cut it out I wasn’t talking bout the beat though
I’m here to make em get the point like a free throw
Tell my girl to please recline my seat slow
Knowing that I’m colder than the bottom of a ski pole
And if it’s snowing in the city I’m getting blown
With a couple bitches down to ride where he goes
Late night in the Jacuzzi with the same hoes
Catchin’ brains puffin on them Monte Christos
Uhhh I’m back on my spittah shit
Back, ba-back, back on my spittah shit
Yeah, you know I'm back on my spittah shit
