I found life out on the weekdays
When we would drive to some new city
Call
Me crazy I was born to make a mess
Would you love me still if I were to confess
That I had a little
Too much fun
Back when I was young
I've got these habits that I cannot break
And as I'm
Older there is more at stake
Go ahead and call me fake but these are the sins
The sins of my
Youth
All these mainstream made emotions
Made me the boy that they wanted me to be
But
When I took down my defenses
For the first time there was something in me
Yah something in
Me
Hot like a smoking gun
Back when I was young
I've got these habits that I cannot break

And as I'm older there is more at stake
Go ahead and call me fake but these are the sins
The sins
Of my youth
I break habits just to fall in love
But I do it on designer drugs
You can call me
Dangerous
But these are the sins
The sins of my youth
Would you love me still
Would
You love me still
Would you love me still
Would you love --
I've got these habits
That I cannot
I've got these habits that I cannot
I've got these habits that I cannot break

. . .


Everybody's tellin' everybody off
It's the last thing I wanna hear
You've
Been killing me for days and days it seems
But the truth is the thing I fear
I just don't understand

Why my love isn't good enough
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good
Enough
For you
I want you to show me
Love and affection
Love and affection
Easing the
Tension
With love and affection
Everybody's showin' everybody up
It's a competition me and
You
I stood outside your doorway
Watching you ignore me
I still think that your games are
Cute
I just don't understand
Why my love isn't good enough
I just don't understand
Why
My love isn't good enough
For you
I want you to show me
Love and affection
Love
And affection
Easing the tension
With love and affection
Put yourself in my shoes

Put yourself in my shoes
I don't know what you've been told
The rich get rich, the poor
Grow old
When everybody's blood runs cold
It's time for something real
Ah ah ah ah

Love and affection
Love and affection
Easing the tension
With love and affection

I just don't understand
Why my blood is
I just don't understand
Why my love is not

. . .


Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid you're never satisified.
Here we go again
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just a canible
And I'm afraid I wont get out alive
No I won't sleep tonight.

CHORUS:
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's gettin heavier
And I wanna run and hide
I wanna run and hide.
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
And I won't be denied by you
The animal inside of you.

CHORUS
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

It's just the world is quiet
So hush we both can't fight it
It's us that made this mess
Why can't you understand?
Woah I won't sleep tonight.
I wont sleep tonight.

Here we go again
Here we go agiain
Here we go again

CHORUS
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

I got close
To your skin
While you were sleeping
I taste the
Salt on
Your hands
I reached out
To touch you
The morning light disarms you
Won't you let me
In?
Chorus
Ohhhhhhh
How long till your surrender?
Ohhhhhhh
How long till your
Surrender?
It's a long way
For heart break
Let your heart wait and bleed
Ohhhhhhh

How long till your surrender to me?
I've become your shadow
I'd love, but don't know
How to
I'm always lost for words
You look like a thousand suns
I wanna be the only one

Left when your day is done
I can't have you close
So I become a ghost
And I watch you

I watch you
Maybe if you stay
We could die this way
But I won't stop you
I won't stop you

. . .


I've been here lookin' dynamite
Alone against the wall
Girls like you give it all so cold

Talkin' cheap in a bathroom stall
Look so smooth
Better tell me the truth
Would you trade me
Out for someone cool?
I know you better than you do
So put out your cigarette
Kiss me on
The lips tonight
Me and you
You and me
Let's go back
Let's go back
1983 is calling
I've
Been on my knees and crawlin'
Back to you
It's coming all back to me
Oh oh oh
1983
I've
Got something that I've kept inside
And the blood is on the blade
You're there suckin' on a lollipop

Like you haven't aged a day
And it ain't so pretty when you're playin' cute
When your
Body's up against some fool
Does he feel it
Cuz I feel it
Chorus
The year I was born
I won't
Be ignored
So get your feet on the floor
I'm the only one
Are you afraid I still make you move

. . .


play me down my lover
Like we're undercover
Like we're in our freshman year
like all the girls and boys in school
our anticipation
and our bad behavin
it's like we learned or lesson
but conveniently forgot the rules

questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that
questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that

I don't want your lover
like my younger brother
he's patronized another
but I think it's serious this time
I don't want you fading
acting like you hate me
it's just like all your paper cuts
they cut you in the coldest spots

questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that
questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that
fuck all the rest and forget the rules
like all the girls and boys in my school
questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that

I said to this end
don't hurt your best friend
I said to this end
don't hurt your best friend
I said to this end
don't hurt your best friend
I said to this end
don't hurt your best friend

questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that

questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that
fuck all the rest and forget the rules
like all the girls and boys in my school
questions for questions
I've got a question
would you ever dance with me like that

would you ever
would you ever
would you ever
would you ever
Keep playing along again

. . .


There you go
Messin' with my mind
I am usually better when I lie
There i
Go
Stuck inside a shell
And you're living on the other side
A lovers carousel
If you only
Knew
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I lose control
When I hear your body move
Through the walls
In the next room
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I lose control
When I hear your body move
And
I'm dying to break through
To the next room
You make love to everything you touch
It's a
Natural reaction
It's a sensual attraction
You play me like I am made of strings
I'm the violin,
A melody
I want your lips to sing
If you only knew
How hard it is to handle
How bad
I want a scandal
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I lose control
When I hear your body move

Through the walls in the next room
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I lose control
When I hear your
Body move
And I'm dying to break through
To the next room
Tell me 'my world revolves
Around you'
Tell me 'boy I can't live without you'
Tell me 'you're losing sleep tonight'
Cuz
I'll tell you straight
I'll never wait
I won't take
No no no no no no no no
Oh I lose control

When I hear your body move
When I hear your body move
Ohhhoohhhhhh
My heart
You stole
Every time your body moves
I'm just dying to break through
To the next room

. . .


I've been walking 'round for hours
Holding onto stems of flowers
My chest is feeling
All my pain
As it began to rain
And now the end has come to this
The little victories I'll miss

Of everything we'd overcome
And all that's said and done
I'm leaving our war behind
Life can
Go on without you
I'm leaving our war behind
The night that I leave town
The walls that you
Helped me take down
Are only getting taller now
And I've even forgotten how
To stand on my
Two feet
I wanna say 'I'm on my own'
And happier to be alone
But everything I do alone
Has
Every bit of you
I'm leaving our war behind
Life can go on without you
I'm leaving our war
Behind
The night that I leave town
All my life
It's always the same thing
All my life
It's always
The same thing
All my life
It's always the same thing
It's always the same
It's always the same

. . .


Why can’t you see I’m just no good at these things?
I want to love you like the man I’m supposed to be.
But you don’t mean these conversations get boring
The thick, the thin, the workings like consistency

You turn and ask me
Why don’t you hold me baby, oh oh baby
My cool is melting away in the making
Oh miss, you can’t see me like this

Helpless helpless
What makes my lonely heart feel like this?
Helpless, I’m helpless when it comes to you

Leave me alone. I know I’m not making sense
But I know I can’t let you come any closer
It’s my security, its my self-defense
I keep on doing all this over and over

You turn and ask me,
Just get to know me baby, oh oh baby
I turn away and pretend that I’m doing just fine
But you’re inside my mind
And I’m

Helpless helpless
What makes my lonely heart feel like this?
Helpless, I’m helpless when it comes to you

I’m caught in the way we talk,
I’m never good enough
Your love’s like a wrecking ball and I don’t want to break apart
Break apart, oh oh oh ohhh

Helpless helpless
What makes my wounded heart feel like this?
Helpless, I’m helpless when it comes to you
[x2]
when it comes to you…

. . .


I've been searching for days now
I've found something I lost
On a holy roller channel asking me whats the cost

On a couch in a cold room
Pouring salt in my wounds
I'm a mistake faking truth holding liars balloons
Make me fly for something more
You've been asleep for days now,
Living inside your dreams
You know that aint no way to live or to handle such things

I wanna shake up your system
I wanna rattle your bones
I wanna take you to the stars
And then I'll leave you alone

I would meet you anywhere, but Ive been farther down
I saw you somewhere farther down,
Did I expect it?
Now I'm overcome with fear
Mama get me out of here
I've gone farther down than I ever wanna go.

Lighting up the horizon,
To the city sky-lights
In a faded aspiration only left in our minds
Let us shake up the system,
Lets go and rattle their frames
Lets take the highest road away and avoid these trappings

I would meet you anywhere, but Ive been farther down
I saw you somewhere farther down
Did I expect it?
Now I'm overcome with fear
Mama get me out of here
Ive gone farther down than I wanna go

We stood out in the cold
And your eyes, they ate my soul
Begged me to come back down,
they begged me to come back down
Then the ground ate my legs, so I looked up to the sky and said
I don't wanna go back down
Oh Ive been so far down
Heaven help me, heaven help me for the way I've been.

Farther down
Did I expect it?
Now I'm overcome with fear
Mama get me out of here

I've gone farther down than I ever, than I ever wanna go
Farther down, I saw you somewhere
Farther down
Did I expect it
Now I'm overcome with fear
Mama get me out, mama get me out of here.
