Let's count the days until winter comes our way. We're all tired and ready to breathe and there's a rumor that there's a bitter cold chill in the air. it's haunting every breath take. the hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.
It's time to roll the windows down and feel the cold air all around. we are heading out of town and not a thing can stop us now.
Let's think about all those nights on Luckie St. we stayed up til 3 am. with all the gossip and the latest girls.
This winter is much like all the rest. This season's changed since we've been away.


. . .



Write this down. remember every word. you're not the things they told you way back then. you're so much more than ideas in your head. so bury them and keep them so they can return when you're alone and so that you can fight them in the end.
Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain. it's time for you to know the truth and cast your cares away. and i'm so sorry. it took too long to let you know that it's alright, it's ok. they mean nothing anyway
You say that you're so alone. well loneliness is all you get. so get used to it.


. . .



It's never easy to see the sun when you're locked up in this pretty plaster cage. So she says she'd love to feel alive again. but this loneliness necessitates her void.
And i tell her don't stop trying to be the one. because one day it won't matter who you are.
She's had enough of being down. and it seems that everything that she's heard.
It's everything that makes her cry and it's just about time to get this right because i don't know if it's all about taking this drink tonight. and i've been thinking baby that you're out of your mind.
So now it's midnight and she leans against the wind. she finds it cold and comforting in this bold and daring glow. yeh, we all know to pass the time we pass around a few cold stares and wonder who we are.
I think she's better off this way.


. . .



I walk around
it's 10 past midnight here and I'm moving
to the sound of people drowning out their lives
this little voice that says
"hey, we should settle down" but we never listen
we say to each other, just wait'll they see me now..

I'm, I'm feeling so alive don't you wish it was like this everynight?
The city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the ground.

If it's all the same, i'd rather never leave
it feels too good to hear the sounds
and see the sights on Main St.
Cause now I see millions of people just living out their lives
and they all came from no where they all say
just wait'll they see me now..

I'm, I'm feeling so alive don't you wish it was like this everynight?
The city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the..

Now I'm, I'm feeling so alive
don't you wish it was like this everynight?
the city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the ground..

they'll never touch the ground

This is me calling you out for all these built up superstitions.
They haunt me now and then.
For just a little light down here I would run, I would cross a thousand seas.
And in our perfect world you would wait at the other side.

[Chorus]
I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers if you were there for me at all.
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile.
It's just a little too much to take.

So tell me what would you have to say for asking who you really are.
Oh god, I want to know just a little truth down here.
I would write a thousand songs and sing them all to you.
You know you wouldn't have to say a thing.

[Chorus]
I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers if you were there for me at all.
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for a while.
It's just a little too much to take.

So enough with everyone else's words. It's just a sign that nothing makes sense to me.
This is your last chance. See I'd cut you just to watch you bleed.
It's the only way to make you see you're never there for me.
You're never there for me. You're never there for me. Never there for me at all.

[Chorus]
I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers if you were there for me at all.
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for a while.
It's just a little too much to take.

He softly told her everything. he never knew you didn't care. break his heart again. smile and prepare for all the words he screams. give him a reason - anything but silence or the truth.
He'll Hate you now.
Remember how he held you for all those lonely nights you know you shared and remember how you never cared about anything he said. well now he's dead to you so bury him instead.
Word's out i'm not the man i used to be. you knew it all along that i felt this way. so i put in this song. tear me apart for pouring out my heart. you know it wouldn't phase you in the least. i hate you now. remember how i held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared and remember how you never cared about anything i said and now i'm dead to you. so bury me instead.
So here's the one about every heart you stole. and you're so sure that you're not a thief at all. i'm the one who's stealing you and this ransom's overdue. everything that's in me says that i hate you now.


. . .



I see you all the time
I see you in a video
running through my head
I hear that you're a fiend
you love and let nobody know where you go

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around on the way out
and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

i never needed anything,
anything but this tonight
i needed you to tell me what was wrong

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around on the way out
and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

this is just like everything
i told you he would say
why wouldn't you just listen
so it wouldn't end up this way

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind
