The All-American Rejects Album

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And now I try to lie
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know

Now we're broken on the floor
She just wants me to share her
It hasn't been this way before
She just wants me to dare her

The phone rings
And she screams
Stab my back
It's better when I bleed for you
Walk on me
It never was enough to do

Can't get past her
Falling faster
True.
It hasn't done a lot for you

And every time he held u close
Yeah were you thinking of me
When I needed you the most
Well I hope that you're happy

The phone rings
And she screams
Stab my back
It's better when I bleed for you
Walk on me
It never was enough to do

Can't get past her
Falling faster
True
It's better when I bleed for you

I hope that love he gave you
Was just enough to save you
You nearly broke my heart
Just look at what you're tearing apart

Stab my back
It's better when I bleed for you
Walk on me
It never was enough to do

Can't get past her
Falling faster
True
It hasn't done a lot for you

It's better when I bleed for you
It never was enough to do

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong

Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can't explain myself at all.
And all that wants
And all that needs
All I don't want to need at all.

The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.

A falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can't explain what you can't explain.
Your finding things that you didn't know
I look at you with such disdain

The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

[Chorus]
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight will make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.

Now I'm on my own side
It's better than being on your side
It's my fault when your blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes

All these thoughts locked inside
Now you're the first to know

Don't solve the problem,
when danger is bitter.
Fall where we stuck them,
in cages of tither.

And all the bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.

[Chorus]
And when the sky is falling,
don't look outside the window.
Step back and hear i'm calling.
Give up, don't take the busload.

It's just your debt that binds you.
Just drop the stocks behind you, now.
Change your mind.
Let go too soon.

Sit down, you're sinking,
there's no one to watch you.
Skip town, you're thinking,
there's no one to stop you.

And all the bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.

[Chorus]

Don't run away,
Stop feeling fine.
It's better than your worst, worst day.
No words to say, I'll give you mine,
and pocket all the hurt, just stay.
Don't run away.
It's better than your worst, worst day.

And when the sky is falling,
don't look outside the window.
Step back and hear i'm calling.
Give up, don't take the busload.

[Chorus]

Don't run away.
Change your mind.
Let go too soon.

I know you
so better than the city in the rear view
I drive to
eliminate the ball that I'm chained to

Take me break me
every mile further there's a part of me that slips away
One day you'll see
Even if you got down on your knees you couldn't make me stay

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight fight fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night

Pulse stays strong
I'm pushing on the pedal til I break dawn
So I'm gone, go find another shoulder you can cry on

Take me break me
every mile further there's a part of me that slips away
One day you'll see
And if you got down on your knees you couldn't make me stay

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight fight fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night

All of the things that you knew that I'd try
All of the things that I held inside
All I gotta do is drive

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight fight fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked my life
So I'm gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked my life

All the windows,
Swear to miss you,
And the doors are cell block tight,
Sweet sedation,
Sweep the issues,
And the clocks about to strike
Did it call you down,
Are you back just yet,
Waiting now please come set me free,
And the only sound is a minute left.

This could be, this could be the last time

It's a chance to fix mistakes,
One more for the last time,
Does it blow our dreams away,
Don't waste this chance with your smile
10 seconds left on this dial,
This could be the last time.

Along the staircase,
I dream to hear you,
In a whisper quiet room,
Space for thinking,
Space to scream to,
But the echoes sound like you,
Not the stars at night,
In a pitch black sky,
I don't know just wants to see you
But the time is right and it only flies

This could be, this could be the last time

It's a chance to fix mistakes,
One more for the last time,
Does it blow our dreams away,
Don't waste this chance with your smile
10 seconds left on this dial,
This could be the last time.

It's only us,
It's only now,
A simple wish,
It's so late tonight.

This could be the last time,
Now I've made our last mistake
One more for the last time, (This Could Be) (This Could Be)
Does it blow our dreams away,(This Could Be) (This Could Be)
Don't waste this chance with your smile (This Could Be (This Could Be)
10 seconds left on this dial, (This Could Be) (This Could Be)
This could be the last time. (This Could Be) (This Could Be)
It's only us,
It's only now,

you don't have to move, you don't have to speak
lips for biting.
you're staring me down, a glance makes me weak
eyes for striking
now im twisting up when i'm twisted with you
brush so lightly
and time trickles down, and i'm breathing for two
squeeze so tightly.
i'll be fine, you'll be fine.
this moment seems so long
don't waste now, precious time
we'll dance inside the song

[Chorus]
what makes the one to shake you down?
each touch belongs to each new sound
say now you want to shake me too
move down to me, slip into you

she sinks in her mind as she sheds through her skin
touch like taste like fire
hands to know what i no longer defend
hands to fuel desire
i'll be fine, you'll be fine
this moment seems so long
don't waste now, precious time
we'll dance inside the song

[Chorus]

Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah [x2]

and i'll be fine, you'll be fine
is this fine? im not fine
give me pieces, give me things to stay awake

[Verse 1]
Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost word.
They say its time that you lost your crown.

[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

[Verse 2]
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch you
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face

[Chorus]
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
And you will, Yeah you will, and you will

[Chorus x2]
Don't be so greedy
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you what 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you

Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it's stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you're the problem and you can't feel
Try this on, straightjacket feeling
so maybe I won't be alone
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was over
Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is staring holes in me again

Trust you is just one defense
off a list of others, you don't make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can't win
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was over
Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is staring holes in me again,
but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you

And when the memory slips away
There will be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away

Yesterday was over
Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is staring holes in me again,
but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through

one questions what can't be done
you tear me down with the same thing
there's nothing thee and it's begun
what can you do when it all drains

down there, you go always
see if i care faded
down, don't you know where i'll be
cuz i'm here, on my own

waiting, when i'm waiting
(downtown now)
i've been here before, and i don't care where i'm going
so i'll say...

when you walk don't leave a note
just put your hands on the back door
when you talk it's just a joke
just no, i can't take it anymore

down there, you go always
see if i care faded
down, don't you know where i'll be
cuz i'm here, on my own

waiting, when i'm waiting
(downtown now)
i've been here before, and i don't care where i'm going
so i'll be, waiting (waiting)
when i'm waiting (downtown now)
i'll tell you what's more
good, as long as your gone

then i'll say...
outside there's no place i can hide
and your dead of time
is anything but right
when the wind rise
this storm won't subside
you'll be outside
i'm i here and i'll guard

waiting, when i'm waiting
(downtown now)
i've been here before, and i don't care where i'm going
so i'll be, waiting (waiting)
when i'm waiting (downtown now)
i'll tell you what's more
good, as long as your gone

and i'll say...
i missed it
i missed it
and you'll call then i'll stay

You speak to me and
I know this will be temporary
You ask to leave,
but I can tell you that I've had enough

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

Step up to me
I know that you've got something buried
I'll set you free
You set conditions, but I've had enough

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

Come back home, won't you come back now?
You're stepping lines, you got a lot to prove
It comes and goes
Yeah, it comes and goes
A step in time, yeah it's a lot to move
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be temporary
I know this will be, but I've had enough

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
And I'll watch you go

I can't take it
This welcome is gone and
I've waited long enough to make it
and if you're so strong
you might as well just do it alone
