Matchbook Romance Album

What makes us burn every bridge we cross?
Or walk aimlessly into oncoming traffic?
Third times a charm, but would we even get that far?
Thought I owed it to everyone, but I owe it to myself.

Well, I've got fourteen balloons
But, I think I'll let them take to the sky
Yeah, I've got fourteen balloons

The hand of my clock strikes two
In times when I got the best of you
We made promises we couldn't keep
And every night we couldn't sleep.
I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
Because it was the first time in my life, yeah the first time in my life
Where I, did something right.

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

You pick me apart
While I search for witty things to say (In my defense)
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
(Don't press your luck, don't press your luck)
And think that I'm impressed with your one night stands
And your contagious kiss
I'm trying to get this right
Yeah, cause I'm ridiculous like that

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time
I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

I'll keep this as
A constant reminder
Of the nights I spent holding onto her
And rest assured I'm moving on
I miss you less, with each day you're gone (you're gone)

I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time

The sky looks like patchwork
Stitched just enough so the sky won't fall on top of us
It's Alright
The city was covered in gold
And made out of dreams
Everything we wanted was within our reach tonight
And we stood
Tip-toed, eyes-glued at the scene and the realization that

Everything was so clear, and plain to see
This is where I belong you can't take me
I was fooling myself all along
I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back
I'm home

And we drove, what felt like forever
Down this street and stopped at the edge of the earth
It looks beautiful from here
This is a place we dreamed of
A place made up in our heads, we thought we'd never see
But here I am
Eyes blinded by painted smiles

A pictures worth a thousand words
But not worth the words I need to hear
I miss you so much that it hurts
And tonight, I wish you were here with me
So I could make you see
The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly
They remind me of
All the times, when we used to sit underneath them, those summer nights
And fall in love

Its not alright, it's our last night together
I won't give up, I can't let go, of you.
I can't let go of you.

And tonight, I close my eyes and dream that she
Is still the one, laying there beside me
I'd walk a thousand miles
I'd swim across the sea

These words, fall from your mouth,
And stab me in the back
It should have never come to this
Its too late, for your apologies
They can't bring back all that you've taken from me

Stripped of my pride, and left for dead
This time is the last time I take this abuse
I've found my place, and this place is far away from you
How can you say, I'm at fault the one to blame is you
Stripped of my pride, and left for dead

I'm so tired of apologizing to myself for you
And what you've done to me
And I've tried, to forgive myself for caring about you
There's nothing I can do...

This time is the last time I take this abuse
I've found my place, and this place is far away from you

I'm so tired of apologizing to myself for you
And what you've done to me
And I've tried, to forgive myself for caring about you
