It's funny how your worst enemies always seem to
turn out to be all of your
best friend's best friends
But I folded and I told
These aren't things I saved to sing you
but I folded, I told
So draw or throw and I will explode

It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
And you are far too cute or whatever he said

Every time I hear it I am wishing I was great
I wish her... past tense my best friend
But I folded and I told
These aren't things I say to save me
But I folded, I told
I hope she's caught in the explosion

It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
And you are far too cute or whatever he said

It's time for you to choose
It's time for you to choose
the bullet or the chapstick
This is me in his room
This is me in his room
This is me in his room

Red, gold, I told
We don't play fair
Red, gold, I told
We never stand too close

So I update this almost every single day for you
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you do
Go tell him how my wrist is sore
from pulling at your insides all night
Nothing that you do is new to anything or anyone but you

Whatever poison is in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff. 
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. 
He owes me one last wish. 
So here's a present to let you know I still exist. 
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his
lips. 

But I got a plan. Drink (drift) for forty days and forty nights. 
A sip for every second-hand tick. 
And for every time you fed me the line, 
you mean so much to me... . I'm without you. 

Tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say. 
Tell the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say. 

And even if her plane crashed tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me, 
by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea. 
Jess, I still taste you, thus reserve my right to hate you.  
And all this empty space that you create does nothing for my flawless sense of
style. 
It's 8:45. The weather is getting better by the hour. 
I hope it rains there all the time. 
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied. 
I'm without you. 

Tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say. 
Tell the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say 

Who would do anything you say. 

Never gonna get it right 
Your never gonna get it(x15) 

Okay, no more songs about you. After this one I'm done. You're gone. You're
never gonna get it right. 

So tell all the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the
states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say. 
tell the English boys you meet about the American boy back in the states. 
The American boy you used to date. 
Who would do anything you say

Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song,
and every stupid word that everybody's hanging on

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar
and I woke up with a shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back with a view
of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
And this quiet dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
And we beat each other up just like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned to a mob out on the lawn
They dropped her body in the river
School and work returned to normal before long
(before long... and no one will mention any of this again)

Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

I got a twenty-dollar bill 
That says no one's ever seen you without makeup. 
You're always made up. 
And I'm sick of your tattoos 
and the way you always criticize the Smiths. 
and Morrissey. 

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic. 
But when I say let's keep in touch, 
I really mean I wish that you'd grow up. 
This is the first song for your mix tape. 
It's short just like your temper, 
But somewhat golden like the afternoons 
We used to spend before you got too cool. 

I got a twenty-dollar bill 
that says no one's ever seen you without makeup. 
You're always made up. 
And I'm sick of your tattoos 
And the way you don t appreciate Brand New 
And me. 

And I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic. 
But when I say let's keep in touch, 
I hope you know I mean I wish that you d grow up 
This is the first song for your mix tape 
And it s short just like your temper 
But somewhat golden like the afternoons 
We used to spend before you got too cool. 

Yeah, but I wish you were my shadow (repeat 4x)

Watch you on the one's and two's 
Through a window in a well lit room 
Become a recluse 
And I blame myself cause I make things hard 
and you're just trying to help 
And when I wake up you're the first to call 
This is one more late night basement song 
and I'm so sore 
My voice has gone to hell 
This is one more sleepless night because we 
don't believe in filler, baby 
If I could I'd sit this out 

(This is over when I say it's over) 
This is a lesson in procrastination 
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated 
And every single second that I put it off 
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock 
(I ignore it and it ignores me too) 
What say we go and crash your car? 
And every time I leave you go and lock the door 
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder 
I'm another day late and one year older 
It's failure by design 

And we just want sleep 
But this night is hell 
I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself 
cause I make things hard and you were just trying to help 
I got no gas(no gas) 
Winding out my gears 
This is one more day on the verge of tears 
And now my head hurts(head hurts) 
And my health is a joke 
And now I gotta stop because the headphones broke 
We don't believe in filler, baby 
If I could I'd sit this out 

(This is over when I say it's over) 
This is a lesson in procrastination 
I kill myself because I'm so frustrated 
And every single second that I put it off 
means another lonely night I gotta race the clock 
(I ignore it and it ignores me too) 
What say we go and crash your car? 
And every time I leave you go and lock the door 
So I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder 
I'm another day late and one year older 
It's failure by design 

I'm out of everything 
No one sleeps till we get this shit out on the shelves 
It's late, I'm faltering 
This time I got nothin' to say besides... 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do. 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters today) 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do. 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters tonight) 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do. 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters today) 
Do Do Do. Do Do Do. 
Nothin to say besides...

I cashed in all my chips tonight and combed my hair till it was just right.
Cause I've been thinking about you and me girl, and we got something going on.
You told me you can't wait to see me and then you didn't bother to even show up.
This whole situation is incredibly typical, I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make my think I'm better
off at home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you baby.
You call me on the phone, and you don't even want to talk.
You're staring at me from across the room then turn your back when I walk up.
We got inches away, and I never even got close.
So leave your lipstick at home.
Don't pick up the phone.
Don't bother to look in my direction.
I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make me
think I'm better off home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you, baby.
Forget everything you think you know about me.
This isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
this isn't highschool
this isn't highschool...

Consider this a letter that I never sent
However inconsiderate it seems
Do you still consider me,
consider me the boy you laughed with
or that you learned to live without?... I suck,
I know I'm late,
I know you waited

You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone

My phone bills stacked up by my bedside,
with your picture, you're looking surprised
You're what makes New England so great
My island nights are all spent dying
Wait for summer to become wrought with lips,
my wishful thinking

You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone
(Yeah we can be)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(Yeah we can be)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You wouldn't get me on the phone)
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's absolutely, definitely gone (definitely
gone)

I never thought this day would end (never thought this day would end)
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me (close to me)
So let my hands stray past that boundaries of your back
to get you breathing (get you breathing)
And get this started (get this started)

Yeah we can be, yeah we can be
You wouldn't get me on the phone
(Yeah we can be)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(Yeah we can be)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You couldn't make me not alone)
Nothing's absolutely definite 'til it's gone

So its sad this doesn't suit you now. and me fresh out of rope. 
Please ignore the lisp I never meant to sound like this. 
So take me and break me & make me strong like you. 
I'll be forever grateful to this and to you. 
it's only you, beautiful or I don't want anyone if I can choose its only you. 
Fix me to a chain around your neck and wear me like a nickel. 
Even new wine served in old skins will cheapen the taste. 
I shot the pilot, now, I'm begging you to fly this for me. 
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised. 
Do you understand? 
It's only you beautiful, or i don't want anyone. 
if I can chose its only you. 
But how I could I miscalculate, perfect eyes. 
Will have perfect aim? if I can choose its only you 
"we're wrecking" and I'm dry like a drum 
So fine, I'll leave... we're spent.. take our time.. measured 
We slave for days. 
its only you, beautiful. or I don't want anyone if can choose its only you. 
But how could I miscalculate 
Perfect lies from a perfect dame. If I can choose its only you.

Back in school they never taught us 
what we needed to know 
Like how to deal with despair 
or someone breakin your heart 
For twelve years I've held it all together 
but a night like this is beggin to pull me apart 
I played it quiet left you deep in conversation 
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen 
I remember I kept thinking 
that I know you never would 
And now I know I want to kill you 
like only a best friend could 

Everyone's caught on to everything you do 
Everyone's caught on to... 

As if it happening wasn't enough 
I got to go and write a song 
just to remind myself how bad it sucked 
Ignore the sun, covers over my head 
Wrote a message on my pillow that says 
"Jesse, stay asleep in bed" 
Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die!) 
Search your cell for something which to hang yourself 
They say you need to pray 
if you want to go to heaven 
But they don't tell you what to say 
when your whole life has gone to Hell! 

Everyone's caught on to everything you do 
Everyone's caught on to... 
Everyone's caught on to 
(and I can't let you let me down again) 
everything you do 
Everyone's caught on to... 
(and I can't let you let me down again) 

So is that what you call a getaway? 
Tell me what you got away with 
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish 
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids 
Have another drink and drive yourself home 
I hope there's ice on all the roads 
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt 
and again when your head goes through the windshield 

Is that what you call tact? 
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back 
So let's end this call and end this conversation 
And is that what you call a getaway? 
Tell me what you got away with 
Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed 
when you say "best friends" means friends forever 

Is that what you call a getaway?!! 
Tell me what you got away with!! 
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!! 
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!! 
Have another drink and drive yourself home!! 
I hope there's ice on all the roads!! 
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt 
then when your head goes through the windshield!! 

(I can't let you let me down again) 
Everyone's caught on to everything you do 
(and I can't let you let me down again) 
Everyone's caught on to... 
(I can't let you let me down again) 
Everyone's caught on to everything you do 
(and I can't let you let me down again) 
Everyone's caught on to... 

AHHHH!!!

And it comes down to you. 
Never and ever.
Wrecked his day with looks and flirts and noontime in your shortest skirts. 
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed. 
Thank her for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong. 
Stop these looks and letters. 
This isn't for the better. 
It's for the worse. 
You're not my girl. 
Stop the circulation to my legs and break my bones. 
Dateless and late. 
I'm better by myself at home. 
What's the point of trying? 
I'm dying here. 
Secondary. 
She laughs at every word I know came out completely wrong. 
This is my last semester. 
Brothers always come first. 
At least until next winter. 
But I'm sure that I'll be over this by then. 
Better scenes... I wish she'd seen me. 
Better off if I just let it be. 
Better pretend it don't matter. 
I'd be better of if I could have her. 
Better days since the day I met her. 
I better hope she got my letters. 
Better off in two year stretches.

Laetitia, you destroy me, so I can see why I feel so lonely
when you and me could be forever perfectly perfect together.
I know.
Broken down in my dead bedroom, stuttering to pictures of you.
I'm sure that you can always see me.
I saw you staring through my TV last night.
So I'll leave my door open all night, in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
My friends all call me crazy cause I stay up late anticipating,
and planning for the day I sweep you off your feet, I'd never leave you alone.
Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
I'm begging you to please stop breaking my heart
because I got the feeling that you and I will never really get it on.
So I'll leave my door open all night in case you decide you want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need,
or I'll be left alone forever with my magazines.

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up(wake up)it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fule lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anyhting
I've got another 500 nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer stands forever)
cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen
(your stomachs filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

Just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
