I take a walk down to the shore
and I wonder how much longer I'll sustain these steps
It's been a month since I've been gone
And its been a month too long since
You have graced me with your presence
I smell your scent on every single shirt I wear
I found pieces of your hair stuck to my suit case
I try to call but the reception here is weak
And it will still be three more weeks until I get home
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had, but that was all I had
But that was all I had.
I walk the boards alone tonight
And try to fill this empty space inside my chest
I take Atlantic home tonight
And every neon light in sight spells out your name
And every morning that I wake
I make a point to check the date, in case
I slept an extra day.
I cross as many numbers out
But every time I count them
There are so much more
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
But that was all I had, but that was all
I hope your waiting by the door when I get home
I don't want anyone to see me here alone
It's not enough to say I think about you now
So we sit at this table with our hands in our laps
And we have a few drinks
And we share a few laughs
But now those days have passed
And they're not coming back
It's a shame, because that's all that I had
And we'll sing out loud for hours
Until the morning that we know we can't avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say
I mean until my dying day
It's a shame when I wake I can't recall a thing
It's a shame when I wake I can't recall a thing
So keep things quiet
Until the rest of the street falls asleep
Then we'll break out
And show everyone just what we're made of
We're so young
Let's abuse it all and have a little fun
Ill drink to that lets all drink to that
And we'll sing out loud for hours
Until the morning that we know we can't avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say
I mean until my dying day
It's a shame when I wake I can't recall a thing
It's a shame when I wake I can't recall a thing
I've got some problems
But we got ten dollars
That's enough to get us wasted before the night is over
These past five days I've been completely sober
But tonight I'm getting ripped wide open
(x2)
And we'll sing out loud for hours
Until the morning that we know we can't avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say
I mean until my dying day
It's a shame when I wake I can't recall a thing
Aim high, but shoot low
Our mission is to bring this monster down with one swift blow
Think fast, but move slow
None of my thoughts are intact staring back at the tracks on the trail on an angel
No one should ever be so young, slighted by the treason of your tongue
Because no the scene has played itself out and it wore me down as well
I can't dissipate without a fight
because you were the first one in my life
to make me feel like I was more than what I am...
Your numbers' out of service, at least that's what they say
But I know that you've forgot about me and you'd like to keep it that way
In the morning I'll be leaving for home
And in 24 hours I'll be talking to you over the phone
I've got nothing to lose but myself
And I'm growing sick and tired of comparing you to everyone else
You fall through like the sand in a sieve
I need to know the answer because I'm hanging by a thread as it is
Word spreads fast around this town and they all know what's going down
I've only been here for a day but now I've got the update
It's rather clear that you moved on,
but all I need is just a notice
that it's over because you still occupy my mind
I've battled with this long enough
I should take the hint and realize that my lucks' run out
But this summers' so much hotter
I think i'm running out of sympathy
promises you've made
but never kept
now i'm over all the inside jokes
that capsulate the past
they're all worn out
i think we're running out of alcohol
someone make a run to get some more
i think i'm running out of energy to emphasize these words that you warned me of
and i, would like to try just one more time
and i, would like to try just one more time
cause if i can find ways to rewind
take back all those drunken ... lines i gave to you
i think you've gotten way too big for me
smoking out in cars
you're smoking out your friends
i think my tolerance for 'thats just him expect the words you can' has just run out.
i think his cell phone calls mean more to you than i ever did or ever would
and i, would like to try just one more time
and i, would like to try just one more time
cause if i can find ways to rewind
to october of our sophomore year
and stop where we began
and i won't let you tell me stories of smoking blunts in empty fories
save it for the people who will praise you for it
and i won't let you tell me stories of smoking blunts in empty fories
save it for the people who will praise you for it
looking for something, i've got it all right here
if you're looking for substance, i've got it all right here
looking for fuel to add to raging fire that is your ego
Your body aches from all the alcohol you drank
But you tell yourself that you're still in control
This chick's been talking for so long about herself
That you hope all of this listening pays off soon
Well you heard that this was easy
And you understand that every man has a certain set of things he has to prove
You were only sixteen about an hour ago
And you did not fear what you did not know
So you went upstairs to get what you've been waiting for
You took three deep breaths and held her hand real tight
She whispered "take it slow" and turned off the light
You wonder if she's done this kind of thing before
Sixteen candles are on this bed tonight
And with every piece of clothing you take off they die
These sixteen candles will burn out tonight
And the fire won't rekindle once the last flame dies
You wake up slow but sure that something is amiss
The light beside the bed is on, your stomach hurts, and your pants are gone
The bits and pieces of the night fade in and out
You just can't comprehend, so you go and ask a friend
He said he saw you go upstairs, a girl with darkish brownish hair
That you sort of, kind of, don't really remember
[Originally by Bob Dylan]
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're looking for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door...
[Chorus:]
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me your looking for babe
Go lightly from the last pain
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want babe
I will only let you down
You say your looking for some one
Who'll promise never to part
Some one to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more...
[Chorus]
Go mount back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway i'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And love you for your life and nothing more...
It ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
How did we get to this place?
In the beginning things were so damn easy
It seemed that everything I am was what you wanted
As we grew into our skin
Mine got thicker, as yours was wearing thin
Thinking bout the boys you missed, the lips un-kissed
What might have been
If you can't keep on believing, if you don't want me tonight
Then let me know so I can count the ties that bind
If you can't feel my heart beating, you must be dead inside
So let's realize, it's time to let this die, time to let this die
We built a beautiful lie, that any weak soul could not survive
It's hard to find a reason to remain here
Cause our vacations only get you so far
Then they lead you to a darker space
Where love is what you feel no longer
We all know feelings so much stronger
If you can't keep on believing, if you don't want me tonight
Let me know so I can count the ties that bind
If you can't see that I'm bleeding, then my veins are running dry
So let's realize, it's time to let this die, time to let this die
If you still can't find a reason, if you got no tears to cry
Let's realize, it's time to let this die
If you can't keep on believing, if you don't want me tonight
Let me know so I can count the ties that bind
And if you can't feel my heart beating, then I must be dead inside
Your shirts are pressed
Your words are planned
Your jeans are ripped
Your skin is tan
And like the cancer in your hands
You've plagued this town with schemes and plans
It makes me sick that they can't see
Your own predictive irony
You're at your peak and that's just fine
You take your moment; I'll take mine
I'd like to believe the best of me
Is something I have yet to see
Cos working at dead-end jobs and skipping class
And spending hours on my ass
Just doesn't sound like any fun to me
I hate to judge, but I can't stop
Unless you step off your soapbox
Cos it's caving in and you can't tell
You're busy checking out yourself
Oh, you're so deep; your taste is sheik
But we both know that talk is cheap
It matters least the words you shout
If you don't know what's coming out
I'd like to believe the best of me
Is something I have yet to see
Cos working at dead-end jobs and skipping class
And spending hours on my ass
Just doesn't sound like any fun to me
It's senior year and we're all down
Of getting out of this old town
You're staying back, you'd rather stop
Cos at this moment you're on top
The years will pass; we'll all come through
And you'll be right just where we left you
You'll realize you weren't so cool
And that we're all so over high school
I'd like to believe the best of me
Is something I have yet to see
Cos working at dead-end jobs and skipping class
And spending hours on my ass
Don't walk away from this
It's on your finger tips
Babe, you can't deny
There's something there
Tell me what you think about me
Talking to you day and night
Never knowing what's on your mind
Break it up and build it down
If that meant you would dream about me
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did I ever mention that the meaning was you?
I'm sick of wasting time and laying to each other
'cause I do, what I do but I swear
It's all because of you
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If I'm down when I'm with you
It makes sense some how
Don't let me hit the ground
Wanna feel it on your lips
Something that I can't predict
Believing in a feeling isn't something
That I'm used to but I'm opening my eyes to it
Wondering if I can commit
You know it would be easy if you said
You couldn't live without me
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did I ever mention that the meaning was you?
I'm sick of wasting time and layin' to each other
'cause I do, what I do but I swear
It's all because of you
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If I'm down when I'm with you
It makes sense some how
Don't let me hit the ground
I've been having trouble sleeping when you're gone
I don't do to well at all on my own
But when I wake up and you're sleeping in my arms
Any place could feel like home
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did I ever mention that the meaning was you?
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If I'm down when I'm with you
It makes sense some how
I know these moments are hard to find
So we're taking our time
Making sure that we do this right
People telling us love is blind
That's why I'm finding it hard
To read between the lines
Sitting in my car
But we don't drive very far
The miles wouldn't make a difference
The words I say
Cancel out the way you'll think about me from now on
Don't say a word
I know it sounds absurd
But I have a reason to what I've done
The fault is mine
And that fact haunts my mind
So I will make you take the blame
Somehow you'll take it
Yes you will
And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I blame it on the planes
That take you miles away
I'll blame it on the planes
Those goddamn planes
I drive you home
And take the longest road
And stop at every sign I see
And I keep my speed real slow
Before you leave
I take one last look
At something I can never have again, again
The worst part of all of this
Is I'm the one who violated all the codes we kept
The whole charade was bitter sweet
Cuz as I was beneath the sheets
I was hoping you would call me
Just so I could hear your voice
And I'll blame it on the way
You leave me here for days
So frequently you say
Farewell my friend
I blame it on the planes
That take you miles away
I'll blame it on the planes
Those goddamn planes
But are you willing to give up those nights
I spent over your house
Straight from work
I weave through traffic
Just to sleep upon your couch
And now I feel like I have lost
A precious four years of my life
You can end without a question
Over something, that so trite
This is the worst mistake I've made
And I make thousands every day
If you give this one more shot
Ill make it up in every way
Ill call you twice I day
And drive you to the airport
Just so I can watch you leave
Give me your black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential
Wait for it
Wait for nights that compliment you
Ignore the girls that just resent you
It's easier to pretend you don't care at all
Now wait for it
Wait for boys that overwhelm you
And tell them that you're not that type of girl
And you would rather sit and talk about your goals
You give me black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
'Cause I never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
You've got potential
Wait for it
Wait for nights that decimate you
Wake up and then pray for saving
Hope has never seemed so far away from you
Now wait for it
Wait for years to pass you by
You're looking back at all the times
You wish you hadn't compromised at all
Well I tried
Well I tried
Well I tried to make you see
That you lost reality somewhere
I tried
Give me your black lungs
And your blue eyes
And we'll trade them in for a new disguise
Give me your best bet
And your worst lie
And we'll fill them in with a straighter line
You could be everything I wanted
If you just gave up on holding back
And I've never lost so many words
From kissing just one girl
So many obvious questions have gone unmasked
How can you stand and where do you fall so fast
You're taking a step and you're taking a breath
You never expect the answer was death
Cause this truth is hardly true
Nights that you found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
"this world is far
This world is far from ours"
After some time i imagine you sleep alright
Until times you that hear her voice at night
You're telling yourself that it's all in your head
She's out on the porch and you're closer to dead
Cause it's not what she deserves
Nights that you found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
"this world is far
This world is far from ours"
Well the picture frame on the dark beige wall
Holds a picture of someone you've held before
Now, she's nowhere to be seen
The picture frame on the dark beige wall
Holds a picture of someone you've held before
Now she's nowhere to be seen
Nights that you found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
"this world is far
This world is far from ours"
You know
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
(this world is far)
