I, I always believed in futures
I hope for better in November
Try the same booth, same lucky numbers
It could be a cold night for a lifetime
Hey now, you can't keep singing endlessly
My darling, how long until this sun burns me?
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
I, I always could count on futures
And things would look up, they'd look up
Why, so hard to find a balance
Between living decent and the cold and real
Hey now, what is it you think you see?
My darling, now's the time to disgaree
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
Hey now, the past is told by those who live
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking
My darling, believe your votes can mean something
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely

. . .



I was scared but once I thought “I gotta let it go”
Everything she said to me I guess I oughta know
We're all tired of talk when it comes to shove
Put up, put out or stay at home.

Chorus:
Never be the same, never feel this way again.
I give you anything but you want pain.
A little water please, I taste you all over my teeth
(?)And never again(?), just tonight, ok

All at once the music stopped, the feeling ran away
An ugly picture of me and you, but nothing I can change
Now now what happens with the lights back on
The less you know the more you want (you want, you want)


. . .



If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When's it ever not
The love we make is killing its take
A game to play along

All I can say
I should of said
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time

oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh, oh oh oh

All the best DJs are saving
The slowest song for last
When the dance is through
Its me and you
Come on would it really be so bad
The things we think might be the same
But I won't falthom more
Its just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on the for sure

All I can say
I should of said
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Yeah - We still have time

oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)
oh oh (ahhhhhhhh)

Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play but never okay
To mix the way we do

All I can say
I should of said
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
Wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place
While we still have time
We still have time

oh oh, oh oh oh

. . .



Well you're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will
Could it be that everything goes around by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be?
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
Hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away
I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I could meet you
I'll pick up put down the phone
Like your favorite Heath Mizer song goes
It's just like being alone
Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done these
You kill me
You've got some nerve
But can't face your mistakes
Hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away
So go on, love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Gotta take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
And so much regret
I know what you want to say
I know it but can't help but feel indifferently
I loved you and I should have said it
But tell me, just what has it ever meant?
I can't help it baby, this is who I am
Sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel
You kill me
You build me up but just to watch me break
Hey hey, hey hey

. . .



I got a story it's almost finished
all I need is someone to tell it too
maybe, that's you.

our time is borrowed and spent to freely
every minute I have needs to be made up
but how?
I'm looking for a nice way to say
"I'm out."
I want out.

I fall asleep with my friends around me
only place I know, I feel safe
I'm gonna call this home

the open road is still miles away
ain't nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once

but windows open and close
that's just how it goes

don't it feel like sunshine after all
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to be

I'm in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space
to rest my head
and everything gets clear
well I'm a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps
it gets me straight again
helps me get over it

it might seem like a dream
but it's real to me

don't it feel like sunshine after all
the world we love forever, gone
we're only just as happy
as everyone else seems to be

you should the canals are freezing
you should see me high
you should just be here
be with me here
it doesn't seem there's hope for me
I let you down
but I wont give in now

. . .



I don't feel the way I've ever felt.
I know.
I'm gonna smile and not get worried.
I try but it shows.

Anyone can make what I have built.
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills.
It takes my pain away.

[Chorus]
It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Nevermind these are horrid times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.

I never thought I'd walk away from you.
I did.
But it's a false sense of accomplishment.
Everytime time I quit

Anyone can see my every flaw.
It isn't hard.
Anyone can say they're above this all.
It takes my pain away.

[Chorus]

[Guitar Bridge]

I can't let it bother me.

[Guitar Solo]

It takes my pain away.


. . .



Stay with me
Your the one that I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy

Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Were the sun shines lay
Always keep me close

If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promised you promised that your done
But i cant tell you from the drugs

Don't let go
Dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
Will both go

You'r so blind
You cant see me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight

If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promised you promised that your done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

I wish you could see
This face in front of me
You'r sorry swear it you'r done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

(Ohhhh)
(Ohhhh)

(take me) I need your help
(so far away) To pull me up take the pain
(take me) Out from me
(so far away) Out from me

(Take me) If only you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) The stranger next to me (To pull me up take the pain)
(Take me) You promised you promised that your done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)

(Take me) I wish that you could see (I need your help)
(So far away) This face in front of me (To pull me up take the pain)
(Take me) You'r sorry you swear it your done (Out from me)
(So far away) But I can't tell you from the drugs (Out from me)

Keep my heart
somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sun shines low

. . .



I'll say it straight and plain
I know I've made mistakes
I've always been afraid
I've always been afraid

A thousand nights or more
I travelled east and north
Please answer the door

Can you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're kill everything in me

Get down on your knees
Whisper what I need
Something pretty
Something pretty

I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful

Then you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

I'm done, there's nothing left to show
Try but I can't let go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
To another, it feels so hard
As a train approaches, getting on
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?

You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

When you go, I'll let you be

. . .



Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
(Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?)
Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, Who gets a taste today?)

[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing
We can't look away,
But we're just looking in
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing wrong!

Turn them off, all tactless singers
(Don't ask why, don't cry, don't make a scene)
A forty-five, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who's not afraid to play?)

We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing!
We can't look away,
But we're just looking in!
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing but -
Nothing but take what's handed down
Said nothing but words approved to shout
We wanna know that we own the cake we're eating
Spit it out! Out, out...

Hold them down (burn, burn)
Hold them down, all bleeding suspects
Turn them off (turn, turn)
Turn them off, all tactless singers

[Chorus]

We've done nothing wrong!

. . .



Lay back baby and we’ll do this right
There’s blankets in back we can use
I’ll start the car, but we’ll stay in park
A quilt can kill us before fumes

Now’s the right time for a good song
Got something to say well I can’t
Do you feel that, like I feel bad?
We’ll pour us a road, we’ll both drink and drive

Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me I can take your cheap shots
Feel you like I never meant
Leave you with a lovely name

Come relax on the driver’s side
So close I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but they’re sweet inside
I must go right to your hair
It’d be easy if you get that
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here
Stay here all night
No one will know us and the moonlight

Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with a lovely name

I set my watch by street side clock
Needle and Nickel groove
You pierce my heart like a willing arm
Your ticking makes my burn move
There’s no way out this fade out
Be Happy to Get what you do
Make you notice with Purpose
Cause quiting alone will never get you drowning

Never get you drowning

Give Me Everything You Got Now
I don’t feel a single thing
Drag me out into the cold rain
Let it hover over me

Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with a lovely name

Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with a lovely name

Hit me, I can take your cheap shot

. . .



I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
Im still driving away
And Im sorry every day
I wont always love these selfish things
I wont always live...
Stop it...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
Ill be 23
I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight
Dont give away the end

. . .



Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame

It might take you all night
But you'll love me with time
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame

Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame

Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame

Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame

. . .



Please let's not get into this tonight
See it's easy and it's what you like
Don't call me foolish cause I'm not
Just be the lover when I want
If I'm hated well it's not my fault I swear

Now don't you go think it's love?
How did you think that's where I'm coming from?
Don't call me foolish cause I'm not
Just be the lover when I want
If I'm hated well it's not my fault I swear

I swear
I swear
I swear....

Please let's not get into this tonight
See it's easy and it's what you like
Don't call me foolish cause I'm not
I'll be the lover when I want
If I'm hated well it's not my fault I swear

Don't call me foolish girl I'm not
Be the lover when I want
If you hate me well it's not my fault I swear
