Альбом The Get Up Kids

i found my place in the sun,
lied my way there.
i've looked in youre eyes,
i'm coming clean.
i've made up my mind.
to lie would be to compromise and i won't try.
i'm sorry.
i hope you'll forgive me
but what you want from me is killing me

Forgive me for running off to find the one thing I have to do.
Each night you can fall asleep assured that someday Ill be coming home to you.
These constant reminders in everything I see.
The chance of a lifetime what a great place to be.

Oh Amy, dont hate me, for running away from you.
Oh Amy, dont hate me. Im still in love with you!

Im sorry I cant be everything to you.
Your place is at the heart of what I do.
Everythings for you.

Oh Amy, dont hate me, for running away from you.
Oh Amy, dont hate me. Im still in love with you!
Oh Amy, Oh Amy, Oh Amy!
Oh Amy, Oh Amy, Oh Amy!
Oh Amy, dont hate me. Im still in love with you!

Every time I run away, its easier to stay.
At the heart, the heart is you in everything I do.
Every time I run away, its easier to stay.
At the heart, the heart is you in everything I do.

if i tried
would you still call me son?
if i tried
would you call me at all?
if i say that i'll go regardless of what you want me to do i'm better off without
i'm better off without you
if i change my mind it won't be soon enough for you
but i'm not you
i'll try to compromise for you to see that there's
so many other things for me to find out
run myself to the ground
would you please forgive me if i found my way back home?
everything i see
everything i do
everywhere i've been
these mean nothing to you?

this is the closest to this friend that i've been
i hope you find it on greener ground and bluer skies
i hpe you don't think less of me
if i'm cold i don't want to watch you go
i'll cry until i can't see the whites of your eyes for two more years
we'll be old enough to know better young enought to pretend
this is the last of my letters...
i hope you find my home and i hope you're the first one in it
i know it won't be the same
i'll be there if you need anything at all you wan tto be
run around the world with me
state your distance but it's not a million miles away
if this is what will really make you happy...
then i'll say that we'll be old enough to know better, young enough to pretend
this is the last of my letters
until i see you again

It's easier to say it's over.
It's easier,
But I might still be pretending.
Not a single one will believe,
and I can't say I wouldn't agree
I don't know if I know myself anymore
I gave up what I couldn't give in
I gave up what I couldn't give in
I gave up
I gave in

it's better than nothing
it's better than you can get
what more could you want, what more could you ask for?
living day by day is more than i can say about my life
living in denial, wipe that stupid smile away
through that ring again
through that sick machine that doesn't make you any stronger
than you or anything you choose
it's not abuse that many people live through

the grass is always greener as i'm sure that you've found
if i find my way back on the last leg of this trip
i'm betting i'm finding you there
as long as it's constantly changing
as long as it's constantly sound
if there's no sense of impending danger
there's no sense in hanging around for the winter
if i'm not gonna be in your arms around me...
what have i got if you're there?
we'll behome in December
the leaves don't fall from the trees as long
as you remember you are always with me
it's not my place to find it
not something that i get to choose
don't be scared 'cause you're not something i'm willing to lose
i'll bet you find it in the last place you look

i saw my better half
the better half of a decade
slip through my hands inside her hands inside my pockets
when she reached for her advatages i should have done something
i saw my baby boy digging his own hole
keeping alive family traditions
when he lied about intentions i should have done something
well
i blame myself for everything
it keeps my conscience clean
i've got bandages to prove it

if i gave everything would you still listen to me?
it could be so much better than this
i don't want you to love me anymore...
than enough
i can't be held accountable if you can't make up your mind
tonight
as much as i would like to
i can't put my hands all over you
if i put myself in that position myself to be immune to you
to keep my heart from breaking if you can't make up your mind
if i came home one last time
think of what the two of us could do
i guess we'll never know

It's certainly true, there's better things to do
and though I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
The last time I saw you act like this
we were kids.
What am I to do?
My heart goes out to you.
Over reacting, over again ...
just between friends.
What am I to do?
I won't come between you two.
What was I to do?
I gave it.
What was I to say?
I gave it all I could.
How was I to know?
I bet you'll never find another friend like me

same hold from the same hands
five years strong
many times over and gone
it's everything that i have to beat bridges much stronger and wide
fewer and farther between we meet againg
i'll try to do well on my own
distance between's never been this far
i realize that this time was something that i always knew
only a fool wouldn't see
might as well start my drinking days now if i'm really alone
it's tempting
am i asking too much to keep you at arms length?
am i asking too much to keep you at home?
please don't go
i know it's all gonna be fine and i know that this is what's right
