This bed is so hot I can not get the covers off
they stick to me like leather seats in cars at 80,000 degrees
did you leave something behind
it looked like nothing at the time
now you fear that it's too late
They just can't believe it, there is nothing between you and me
I'd rather plead the 5th than talk about the girl you're still in love with
did you leave something behind
it looked like nothing at the time
now you fear that it's too late
But I don't know what I was expecting to find
Am I losing my mind or just biding my time
Maybe I won't
Maybe I will
(x4)

well the way you pull the fuzzies from my sweater
doesn't make up for the times you let me sink into the floor
and the lies you told to make me feel all better
they didn't work so please don't tell me any more
I'm waking up to see the sun
it's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
and I can leave behind, the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
tell me this, why do you run away
just when I decided to say something true for once
you should try it, just say what you mean
cause I can't read the lines let alone in between
I'm waking up to see the sun
it's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
and I can leave behind, the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
and I know my mellow tone can be misleading
but I've just put my anger to good use
you see I've given up on begging and pleading
every scratch on this guitar is because of you
I'm waking up to see the sun
it's a light that lets me know a new days begun
and I can leave behind, the terrors of my unconscious mind, into the sunshine
(x2)

I've gotten used to being introduced
hello, what's your name, how are you
they see my smile, my laugh, and the hurt behind my eyes
loss is not so easily disguised
I'll try my best to keep on with my sunny disposition
but I close my eyes and end up reminiscing
so save me from waking up tonight
save me from waking up tonight
'cause I toss and I turn and it doesn't feel right
save me from waking up tonight
left to my own devices I'd stay up to 3am
spend the whole day barely awake and then do it all again
'cause my dreams are filled with pleasantries
that make me think you're here with me
they won't let my poor heart mend
I have tried my darnedest to continue smiling wide
but I miss you and that's something I can't hide
so save me from waking up tonight
please save me from waking up tonight
I thought I was fine but it looks as if
I might not make it through the night
so save me from waking up tonight
please save me from waking up tonight
'cause I toss and I turn and it doesn't feel right
please save me from waking up tonight

I'm a peeping Tom, I shamelessly
Watch the windows next to me
When it's dark outside
There's nowhere they can safely hide
I can see you when you get ready to go out
and other stuff you're embarrassed about
and when you sing off key I can't hear you
but I see that your mouth is moving
Can you see me
I only watch you when I'm bored
You replace all the gadgets that I can't afford
Don't know your name
but I like the PJs that you wore
Please don't be creeped out by me
You're my miniature TV
Comb your hair and brush your teeth
So obliviously
Can you see me
When your lights are off
I wonder where you go
'cause I want to serenade you
from my window
I can sit and be amused
by your scandalous dance moves
and if you're sick of dancing alone
I will come and dance with you
Can you see me
Am I creepy?
I'll come dance with you (can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you (can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you
I'll come dance with you
If you want me to

Difference of opinions keep us apart
But that won't take you out of my heart
I think that you're funny and I think that you're smart
and I think it's even cuter when you say that you aren't
I saw you across the room
We never really spoke but still I knew that
You and me were meant to be
Close, if not romantically
And I've tried hard
to prove that I am strong
and you know and I know
that I've been wrong
and we talked for a while with our opposite styles
and I thought it might work if only for a while
Together we make such a comfortable sound
You open your mouth and I love it somehow
See, I can talk forever
except when it counts
We don't write notes any more
but that's all right I've gone through this before
It's been three weeks since we have spoken
and look at me, my heart's not broken
And I've tried hard
to prove that I am strong
and you know and I know
that I've been wrong
And it's not fair
to blame this all on you
'cause we all got reasons
for doing the things we do
But I gotta tell you
I'm not amused
Well I'm not sorry for the times
I left you in the dirt behind me
You'd do the same thing
if you were me
Well I'm not sorry for the times
I left you in the dirt behind me
You'd do the same thing
if you were me
I'm tempted to run through the halls
Screaming thanks for nothing
I'm tempted to run through the halls
Screaming thanks for nothing

It's nice to know where I stand
even though it didn't turn out as I planned
it's more annoying than anything
to be the one who is wondering
we were dangling by a string
waiting for someone to do something
when I am over you it will be great
The thought of you with someone else makes me want to take the shelf
of all the shit you gave to me. Throw it out the window see
it fly through the air as it goes, yell it out so they all know
that I am gonna let you go, i am gonna let you go
cause when i am over you it will be great

Well it's close to home by plot or block.
I hate the bad and I hate the dark.
This loss of life is killing me,
Affecting un-expectantly.
But what's one more? Yeah, let me go.
Let me suffer nice and slow.
The pack is watching patiently.
Stand in line to wait and see.
But that's the problem eeing it coming
does nothing till it comes.
We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums.
but it's too late, too late,
And I don't know when it turned into fate.
Unavoidable, so I better get prepared.
It's too late, I'll take ignorance over being so scared.
I'm not coming out of this box,
Till everyone's forgotten me.
This ought to be a welcome vacation.
I'm not coming out of this box,
Till everyone's forgotten me.
My thoughts will be secluded elations.
I'm starting to lose track,
Of who's alive and who is passed.
On and on and on and who is here and who is gone?
That's the problem
Seeing it coming does nothing till it comes.
We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums.
But it's too late, too late,
And I don't know when it turned into fate.
Unavoidable, so I better get prepared.
It's too late, I'll take ignorance over being so scared.
If anyone here wants to die
Give it a shot you should try
I've been totally desensitized
These eyes have cried all they can cry
But it's too late
. . .

If you were:
The ground beneath my feet
I'd find a way to float
Or just walk so gently.
If you were:
A star in the night sky
I'd figure out how to fly
Or just walk with my head high.
They pushed me around
But they haven't knocked me down.
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside.
Babies grow, and buy their own homes,
To fill with families of their own
If you were:
The clouds that bring the shadows,
The dark won't make me sad
Though I'd miss you.
I'll make
Shadow puppets and I'll laugh
Because I know you'd love it
And I'll cry a little too.
If I were God,
I'd destroy all religion,
Abolish all divisions,
And leave the world with love.
And I'd probably take you
Up with me,
Because we're selfish
Here above.
Yeah, they pushed me around
But they haven't knocked me down.
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside
Babies grow, and buy their own homes,
To fill with families of their own.
We've lost a lot
But we've got much more.
If you need comfort
That's what we're here for.
And if the ground shall crumble
And the stars shall fall
I will hold your hand
And we'll both stand tall.
They pushed me around
But they haven't knocked me down.
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside.
Babies grow, and buy their own homes,
To fill with families of their own.
I'm not so scared
I'm not so scared
I'm not so scared
I'm not so scared

I'm lying here on the floor just like the man on the yellow cone
I guess the floor was wet so I'm cold and I'm all alone
'Cause I was running down the stairs I didn't think that I could fall
But gravity took over me and I crumpled like a ball
But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside
Well it's later than I thought, and I thought it was pretty late
I guess everyone's asleep, wonder why I'm still awake
I could fall asleep right here with my hands under my head
There's a body in the stairwell, call the cops I think she's dead
But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside
Well I can't lie, perhaps I didn't trip
I've been having troubles lately and I got something to admit
See I was standing at the top thinking about the earth
It's been so hard to just keep living so I thought it might be worth it
If you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside
Kiss me goodbye.

give me a break, with this heart ache
I doubt it will make it through till tomorrow
It's bogged down with sorrow and guilt
and it's built on these stilts which wobble 5 feet and 3 inches high
you ask me why I'm this way and all I can say
is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got so we'll give it a shot
I just hope you don't regret it
I'm unimpressed, think it's best
if we give it a rest
I'm so tired I can't stand
for fear I will land on my ass
let time pass, this can't last
cause I'm just barely getting by
you ask me why I'm this way and all I can say
is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got so we'll give it a shot
I just hope you don't regret it
give me a break, with this heart ache
I doubt it will make it through till tomorrow
It's bogged down with sorrow and guilt
and it's built on these stilts which wobble 5 feet and 3 inches high
(I won't change my mind, we've run out of time)
you ask me why I'm this way and all I can say
is I've got nothing to hide behind
no excuses to confuse this
guess everyone loses but it's better than living a lie
you ask me why I'm this way and all I can say
is I've gone through my fair share of shit
and you want all I've got so we'll give it a shot
I just bet you'll regret it
. . .

My foot's asleep and so is my brain
If I'm in pain then I don't feel it, my face should reveal it
I am grinning as they're cutting me in half
and all I can do is laugh
I am cold unfeeling and odd
and you should thank god
that we are on separate sides of the state.
Hope you're OK at least I gave you something to hate
I am frantically flailing, woozy inhaling
these fumes that don't put me to sleep
taking drugs that wont cure me, so I'll just stay pure
please relinquish those secrets you keep
I am cold unfeeling and odd
and you should thank god
that we are on separate sides of the state.
Hope you're OK at least I gave you something to hate
. . .

It'd be easy to sit here
and wallow in hell
But I could suck it up and get over myself
You see all hearts are broken
Its no big deal
I've been hurt but I'm sure
You all know how that feels
We all go through,
So why we do it again?
Is it even worth
The awkward anger of trying to be friends?
I don't know.
Should I care?
Well do you?
Are you there?
This year
Will swallow
me whole
It's taken its toll
The queen of hearts
Is mad with power
“Heads will roll.”
So tenderly
You bleed me dry
And I
I collapse to the floor
It doesn't get easier
That should be me
It doesn't get easier
I'm dying to leave
I'm been feeling surprisingly
Lonely these days
I guess substitutes have
An aftertaste
And I hate you
For making me feel
I could easily be replaced
They say that the coffin
Can't confine the soul
I'm burying secrets
You should have told
So I'll say fuck your heaven
This is only a goal
You want to achieve
So you can be alone
We've yelled
We've lied
And blatantly tried
To hurt the other one
That's not fair
But truthfully
I don't care
You cried
And apologized
I wont sympathize with you
Cuz your wrong
So wrong
And you know it, you do
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It doesn't get easier
Try not to scream
It doesn't get easier
I'm fighting day dreams
So I guess its over
Is it time to move on?
Winter was always my least favorite season
Should I give up?
Is it too late to be saved?
Am I forever frozen in
This lonely grave?
So if I agree
I'm not trying to be mean
It's just cold, hard facts
Spare me your sugar coats
I could have kept you warmer than that.

my ear can't hold a pencil
and my mind can't keep a thought
and my arms aren't near strong enough
to hold the shit I got
but stop feeling sorry for me
that's great you got your sanity
but apologies are not what I need
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
I know this might be rough on you
don't worry I've been in your shoes
we've only got a friend to lose
this sucks, I think you know it too
the thrill of the chase caught up with me
they paid me back karmically
either I can't stand them or they don't want me
what do you think it means
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
cross my heart cross my eyes cross my fingers hope to die
bury me with the friends I've lost
they say that pain is the cost of love
(no one said this would be easy)
I knew it had to happen soon
just sucks it had to be with you
the songs that I once sang for you
I still sing them though the meaning's new
roles reversed and then press play
can't think of any thing to say
but how many times can one heart break
(how many pictures did we take)
I'm going out
I'm going out
to get my mind off you
I'll have a drink or two
I used these chords once before
an unfinished love song
cause I adored a boy
but not any more
. . .

Well I bet you thought.
That I forgot about our deal.
But I am a man of my words.
Though they be strange and absurd.
I'm just trying to keep it real.
And I know I lost the bet.
But I haven't lost you yet.
And if drinkin' lemonade for the rest of our days.
Would save you.
You know I would do...... it.
Remember Regina and Sarah and cereal bowls.
And wearing our hats
Even when it's not cold.
I'll never relate to your city peeps.
Cause I do most of my thuggin' on suburban streets.
I get terrified.
But I'm fine..... when I'm with you.
You should know that I love it when you sing.
But I'd love it even more if you'd stop hitting things.
Regardless.
I'd be heartless.... without you.
Well I haven't yelled at someone in a pretty long time.
And the last time that I did.
I regretted it.
I can't wait till' senior year.
When I will live in constant fear.
Cause you'll act like a zombie.
And slobber all on me.
You know that I hate it.
But I wouldn't trade it.
For any asshole you don't..... like.
Yeah, you're stuck with me.
For the rest of our afterlives.
