Hey, we've got a lot we'd like to say
So before we go
We're gonna take a few of you
And show you love, yeah
Let's make some memories tonight
A fire that excites a flame that won't ignite
Imagine me and you tossing back a few
Now glasses up and heads down
Just a bit to make our elders proud
Let's drink to our dream but
God damn, it's great to be alive
Get down with us in the breakdown
Get up with us in the back room
Get down with us in the breakdown
Get down with us in the breakdown
Get up with us in the back room
Get up with us in the back room
Let's drink to our dream but
God damn, it's great to be alive
Hey, we've got a lot we'd like to say
So before we go
We're gonna take a few of you
And show you love
Hey, if these were our last days
We'd think about tonight
And we could smile and say
(Smile and say)
It's your last love
And it starts just like the last one
Something's very strange
Somewhere during getting up
Our heads fell into place
Can't say we never tried to make it out
Can't say we never tried
To shake off all that's happened
We can ride it out, we can ride it out
If it's not your reputation
Then it's just not worth the patience
Now we weren't born right on the ropes
We had to tie our own knot
That's just the way it works
And we can say we're better off
Can't say we never took our own advice
Can't say we never had to pay the hardest price, no
We can ride it out, we can ride it out
If it's not your reputation
Then it's just not worth the patience, baby
We can ride it out, we can ride it out
If it's not your reputation
Then it's just not worth the patience, baby
It's safe to say I'm not okay
That's what I get for waiting
Patiently is not for me
Now I'm up all night with you and cheap champagne
I haven't thought of you in days
That's right, I'm thoroughly
Contemplating lines and scenes
Cause in the end I'm here to entertain
I've got a good thing going tonight
I just can't stand to see you go
Well, take me home
Tell me what you wanted
I will never know
It's safe that we'll be okay
I've been anticipating
Anxiously, it's right for me
Now I'm up all night
Just trying to explain
What made you drink, sit and sink
You've got so much to lose
And lose and lose again
So take a good look brother tonight
Just let the bright lights take us home
Well, take me home
Tell me what you wanted
I will never know
Tell me what you wanted
I will never know
So take a good look brother tonight
Just let the bright lights take us home
Well, take me home
Tell me what you wanted
I will never know
Tell me what you wanted
I will never know
Tell me what you wanted
(Let's just drink)
I will never know
(Sit and sink)
You've got so much to lose, but I don't
Tell me what you wanted
(Let's just drink)
I will never know
(Sit and sink)
You've got so much to lose, but I don't
Baltimore is quiet and cold
There's no ship in the bay to take me back home
In time for the holiday
So December never ends
You come here instead
I've got gifts and food and friends
Plenty of room in my bed
Oh, you can help me mend
So here's to being alone
To anyone on their own
If anyone's listening
Think of me when I'm gone
It's not going to hurt for long
And you can just forget
And I can live without regret
Baltimore is quiet and cold
So I walk down to the bay
Where everyone's gone inside for the holiday
Oh, December never ends
So will you make up your mind
Over time I've found a piece of me
Somewhere on these empty streets
That I could never bring myself to leave
So here's to being alone
To anyone on their own
If anyone's listening
Think of me when I'm gone
It's not going to hurt for long
And you can just forget
When I return to you at last
Surprise me in red and black
Oh no, you never ever give in
Never give in
When you smile there's a certain line
Of muscles strained from front to back
So I'll do anything to get me right back home
So here's to being alone
To anyone on their own
If anyone's listening
Think of me when I'm gone
It's not going to hurt for long
So here's to being alone
To anyone on their own
If anyone's listening
Think of me when I'm gone
It's not going to hurt for long
And you can just forget
And I can live without regret
If you had a chance to leave
And take some time without me
How far would you go
How long until you know
I've been waiting patiently
For your heart and body
All the things we'd love to be
And you'll stay with me
Let's take a walk on Saturday
Let's find a place to get away
We don't get down in front
We never get what we want
Show me something new
Tell me what to do
We don't get down in front
We never get what we want
Lay down right now
Let's go around with claims to beat
It's now hard for me
You're impossible to beat
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround yourself in me
Oh yeah, on our walk on Saturday
You said you might not stay, hey
If you had a chance to see
How your life would look with love for someone constantly
Would it still be me
Lay down right now
Let's go around with claims to beat
It's now hard for me
You're impossible to beat
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround
I must have been so, so, I don't know
Confused or scared to share me
Surround yourself
Surround, surround, surround yourself in me
You better watch your mouth
When heavy words fall out
The weight could plant my feet to the ground
Now I'm so desperate, I'm so desperate
She takes a train ride
Oh yeah, she's still got her pride
I can see you seething on his bedside
Are you coming down
Are you coming down
Well, the names and faces change
But the problems stay the same
Are you coming down
I'm so desperate, oh
But you've got to make something work
It's a shame to be unsure
You can bet I'll break my neck for you still
Are you coming down
Oh, are you coming down
Well, the names and faces change
But the problems stay the same
Are you coming down
Alright
Are you coming down
Are you coming down
Hey, but the names and faces change
But the problems stay the same
Are you coming down
You better watch your mouth
When heavy words fall out
The weight could plant my feet to the ground
We've got to make it to next summer
You've got so much to lose, but I don't
I swear I'll take you where the bright lights
Will shine on, shine on the perfect crowd
I know you'll stick it out with me now
Is it too late
We don't want you to get older
And tell them what you would have done
If you were us
I don't think you've got the guts
I don't think you've got it in you
You ain't got it, you ain't got it, no
Now I know you don't think we can go on
Seeing the bright lights shine on
Less deserving than before
So let's just drink, sit and sink
You've got so much to lose, but I don't
Is it too late now
Has time run out
You haven't seen the bright lights shine on
Is it too late now
Has time run out
You haven't seen the bright lights shine on
We don't want you to get older
And tell them what you would have done
If you were us
I don't think you've got the guts
I don't think you've got it in you
You ain't got it, you ain't got it
You ain't got it
We don't want you to get older
(Let's just drink)
And tell them what you would have done
(Sit and sink)
If you were us
(You've got so much to lose, but I don't)
I don't think you've got the guts
(Let's just drink)
I don't think you've got it in you
(Sit and sink)
You ain't got it, you ain't got it, no
(You've got so much to lose, but I don't)
Let's just drink, sit and sink
You've got so much to lose, but I don't
I feel like, like I'm trying too hard
For better life
Or at least a better heart
They need any way that you see fit
Hang me close by so you won't forget
Please, oh please believe
In anyone but me
I'm somewhere in between
Oh, who I am and who I want to be
My name, three words I can't replace
A masquerade doesn't matter anyway
And I'll be okay
Don't wait another day
I'm too hard, too hard to change
Your voice flows
In a song I could not compose
You heart can sing
In a key that fits anything
I'll make it through the night
Sing to me just right
Please, oh please believe
In anyone but me
I'm somewhere in between
Oh, who I am and who you need
Please, oh please believe
In anyone but me
I'm somewhere in between
Oh, who I am and who I want to be
I could tell from where you're standing
The night's about to get a whole lot sweeter
Looking back it's so romantic
The room, the lock, the key, the bed
The sultry look you shot me
I'm gonna see you someday very, very soon
I've got a fresh excuse and transportation
You'll want to take me, shake me, show me
Ways I never thought it could have been done
Well it's getting done
You want to take me down with you
Just as well, I'm justified
You want to take me there again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
We're running out of time
I'm coming back to see if there was something left
I can't forget
I've got to have you one more time
Just one more time
Don't fall asleep so fast
We'll never get the chance
We never got it
You want to take me down with you
Just as well, I'm justified
You want to take me there again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
We're running out of time, yeah
You want to take me there again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
We're running out of time
This is goodbye
After months of situating
I can finally leave this sorry town behind
And I'm alright
When they ask for me
My friends can smile and tell the world
That I survived
As I'm about to leave
I've filled a million empty pages
Passed my word and do my best to sing
So what do I need
Something could become of those
Who think and talk and live like me
I don't want to die today
I want to live and love and write it down
I can live a life of dreams
And be grateful I'm around
This is goodbye
After months of careful planning
I can finally leave this dried up town behind
And I'm alright
Yeah, this used to be our city
This used to be our only light
I just want to walk away
I want to write but there's a consequence
That all my friends read everything I do and I say
I don't need a razorblade
All I need are sounds of ecstasy
And I won't die today
Yeah, I'll be living, loving, writing down
And I'll live a life of dreams
And be grateful I'm around
Late one night with my head in a blaze
I woke to find a man in a sorry state
Staring through the glass
It was crystal clear
And the stranger cried out
What am I doing
I'll be damned, you brought the muscle
And held out for how wrong I've been
Staggered to the corner for a shot of the room
I'm shaking at the thought
What am I doing here
My dreams haunt me in my sleep
They stay hidden inside of me
Very deep so I'll be sure to stay
I've got direction in my craze
To keep trying for another day
Who needs perception anyway
Three long weeks I stayed in the room
Waiting for the man to show me something new
Staring through the glass
It was crystal clear
But the stranger just cried, ahh
So late one night with my head in a blaze
I said to the man in the sorry state
Love is for the lucky
You know what they want
Or maybe love's best left to who cares less
My dreams haunt me in my sleep
They stay hidden inside of me
Very deep so I'll be sure to stay
I've got direction in my craze
To keep trying for another day
Who needs perception anyway
My dreams haunt me in my sleep
They stay hidden inside of me
Very deep so I'll be sure to stay
I've got direction in my craze
To keep trying for another day
Who needs perception anyway
I've got perfection in my craze
To stay sleeping while they're awake
Who needs connection anyway
Oh please, won't you let me stay the night
Gotta prove myself right
Your mouth just won't play by the rules
So when we get out of law school
Oh, it's on
I've thought a lot about
The things I heard from the pretty girls back home
Keep it, I'm waiting
I thought a lot of you back home
Now it's really simple, baby
You're temporary
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
I've gotta prove myself tonight
Pay attention sweetie
I'll ask you one thing straight
We're not in high school
Stop talking and start moving
Stop talking and start moving
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I've thought a lot about
The things I heard from the pretty girls back home
Keep it, I'm waiting
I thought a lot of you back home
Now it's really simple, baby
You're temporary
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(It's the life)
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(Oh yeah)
I've thought a lot about
The things I heard from the pretty girls back home
Keep it, I'm waiting
I thought a lot of you back home
Now it's really simple, baby
You're temporary
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(It's the life)
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(It's the life)
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(It's the life)
It's the life, but I wouldn't recommend it
(Oh yeah)
All you want is company
But the don't treat you right
No, they won't let you be
Hey
All I need's a guarantee
Wouldn't it be nice if you could stay and love with me
You kill me
You can hide but you can't escape what's inside
Oh, we'll be alright someday
Baby you're too hard to break
Treat you right and you'll come back for me
You'll want to stay away
What suits you right is better company
So you get your glory by the gram
Baby so do I, no lie, no lie
Oh I can see in your eyes
No you can't lie
Oh, we'll be alright someday
Baby you're too hard to break
Treat you right and you'll come back for me
You'll want to stay away
What suits you right is better company
All I need's a guarantee
Wouldn't it be nice if you could stay and love with me
Yeah
You cannot lie
Baby you're too hard to break
Treat you right and you'll come back for me
You'll want to stay away
What suits you right is better company
Where's the life that you promised
I'm blinded by all the city lights
They keep me wide awake tonight
I let my life go the high way
Somehow I never saw the signs
Yeah, I put all my trust in painted lines
Now all my stories sound the same
Yeah, and I've got no one else to blame
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
Where's the life you imagined
A perfect job, a house, a car
A pretty view from a big back yard
You left your life for my way
No steady wage and a cheap guitar
Now we're right back at the start
From the start it just gets harder
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
I know I'm a disappointment
But I bet it all and never folded
I know I'm a disappointment
So why do you believe in me
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything, yeah
I know so don't say anything
In a dark room at the heart of the city
The basement brings a heavy crowd
And I know there's a right way
But I can't stop from getting down
These people are mad
Will they grow up
Why can't I do the same
Why can't I be okay
The style and the grace of a small town
Is there any truth to the recipe
I've been mixing thrills in the right key
But I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
I leave emotion at the door
Like a desperate boy on last call
No, I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
There's a bad place in the back of the room
No one moves without a cue
Cause they know there's a right way
Yeah, all the know is getting down
These people are mad
And so am I
Yeah, I caught on
In the nick of time
Before the lights turn on
I can blend into the crowd
Don't come with me tonight
If I said I cared for you I lied
Is there any truth to the recipe
I've been mixing thrills in the right key
But I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
I leave emotion at the door
Like a desperate boy on last call
No, I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
Don't come with me tonight
If I said I cared for you I lied
You waste no time tonight
Take me home if it costs your life
Is there any truth to the recipe
I've been mixing thrills in the right key
But I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
I leave emotion at the door
Like a desperate boy on last call
No, I don't feel right in my skin
So I don't feel anything at all
I took some time walked around
and discovered something odd
All of my friends have grown up
had a kid or got a dog
There seems to be only me
and a few of us still left
Trying not to lose what we have
but what have we really got
Time to change, for me it's now ever
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
Is this the time to resign
from the plan to rule the world
Days passing by in a haze
leave me feeling like I should
Change for good, for me it's now or never
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
I need a kick to survive
I am not a rebel, nor am I a devil
Baby, gimme confidence
Yeah I'm really trying do you think I'm lying
i said your gone today
i said your gone
everything went down
you thought you would fall apart
you thought you were so strong
you turned out you were nothing that you thought you could be
and everything's so dumb
cuz you thought it would be that way
and now I'm fading
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
like there's nothing from no one around
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
like there's nothing from no one around
i said you're gone today
yeah we all went there
we thought we would fall apart
we thought we were so strong
it turned out we were nothing that we thought we could be
and everything's so dumb
cuz we thought it would be that way
and now were fading
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
like there's nothing from no one around
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
like there's nothing from no one around
chances are i will run away
so, so far away from here
just give me a big black symbol
you will never remember how
to take all my feelings down
so give me the keys to your soul
chances are i will run away
so, so far away from here
just give me a big black symbol
you will never remember how
to take all my feelings down
so give me the keys to your soul
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
like there's nothing from no one around
would you consider the fact that i
might be slightly run down from this nonsense
it was just holding me down
