Set Phasers To Stun

Yes say yes say yes say yes say yes (yes say yes say yes say yes say)
I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze,
Just nine more minutes, please (and they)
They all know where to find me.
Every word that I said
What a big mistake
And the words you left out, keeping me away.
Well, I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
like that's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Well, there's a secret I've been perfecting
I swore I wouldn't but you let me
I'm comfortably confused (and you)
You've gotten so removed.

You know I, I could take the place of those pills.
Ocean blue, paint it white.
Now who ya gonna call tonight?
Well, I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
like that's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)
So pace the stairs to your apartment
like that's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be (where you wanna be)

We'll paint our sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept (yes say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)

If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying (We paint our sins on the ceiling)
I'm not giving up if you just keep trying (I keep them glued to my chest)
If I talk in my sleep (It keeps me close like a promise kept)
If I talk in my sleep

Yes say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes.
I'm sorry it took me so long
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes.
I'm sorry it took me so long

So pace the (I don't want to stop you, I just want to know.)
Stairs to your apartment
like that's where you wanna be (I'm sorry it took me so long [I don't want to stop you, I just want to know])
Where you wanna be
Where you wanna be

Bonus Mosh Part II

So, scream I heard about your message,
And how it reeked of your indifference,
...it bleeds horizontal straight from your wrists.
(So scream louder now)
Because I'm bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
But can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders,
C'mon say it...

[Chorus]
Well, If it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, If it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, it's love, it's love, it's love...
Make it hurt.

I said I use the inconsistencies
That undress the machine,
You're the poster boy, their selling point, the focus for their new campaign.
(Something has to be done...it just has to)
I'm Bound to come around about
(I'm bound to come around...)
Oh, but can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders, c'mon...

[Chorus]

The keys to the castle
(Are right where I left them)
The princess walked in just to take more attention
'Cause after all, well isn't that all that I've been after and,
After all, well isn't that all that I'm after,
You're so...

(No way out) I give up in you, well, I give up in you,
(No way out) I give up in you.
(No way out) Well, I give up in you, I give up in you,
(No way out) Well, I give up in you.

I wanted you for nothing more
Then hating you for what you were
If that's what you wanted to hear
(Well if that's what you wanted to hear)

I wanted you for nothing more
Then hating you for what you were
If that's what you wanted to hear (Don't leave me)
(Well if that's what you wanted to hear)

I wanted you for nothing more
Then hating you for what you were
Well if that's what you wanted to hear (Don't leave me)
(Well if that's what you wanted to hear)

I wanted you for nothing more (It's love, It's love)
Then hating you for what you were (Make it hurt, I deserve it)
If that's what you wanted to hear
(Well if that's what you wanted to hear)
Well if that is how you'll let it burn

A Decade Under The Influence

Well, that's more sweet, so delicate
It used to be this dying breed
Well I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window...
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about...

You used to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)
Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well that's more sure in porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck
Well I've got a bad feeling about this (because of this)
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window
Well I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about...

You used to say you'll have to go (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well I got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)
I got a bad feeling about...

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on).
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on)
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends, it's on)
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got a bad feeling about this (you, in...)
I got it bad (you)
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad

This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)

Well I’ll wait til you listen
I won’t say a word
To follow your instincts
Will just never work for me
Oh you’re silent but strong
Yeah I’m playing that card
And you’re noticing nothing again

Now I’m lying on the table
With everything you said
Keeping in mind the way that it felt
When the most I could do
Was to just blame myself

Chorus:
And I know you know everything
I know you didn’t mean it
I know you didn’t mean it
I know you know everything (drop everything)
I know you didn’t mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn’t mean it (remember more that you’d like to forget)

So we’re talking forever and
You almost feel better
But better’s no excuse for tonight
You see it’s never bad enough
To just leave or give up
But it’s never good enough to feel right

Now I’m lying on the table
With everything you said
It will all catch up eventually
Well it caught up and honestly,
The weight of my decisions
Were impossible to hold
But they were never yours

Chorus

Stop everything, start it all over
Remember more than you’d like to forget
Drop everything, start it all over
Remember more than you’d like to forget

Would you like to forget?
Would you like to forget?
Drop everything, start it all over
Well, drop everything start it all over
(Would you like to forget?)
Drop everything start it all over
Start it all

Chorus

I know you know...
I know you know...
I know you know...
(Drop everything, start it all over)
I know you know...you know...you know...
(Remember more that you’d like to forget)

The Union

I wait around
For that still small center
from saint to sinner
Well which one is it?
Just who do you think you are? X2
Well who did you call to get this? Is it who I think it is?
(I swear to god I'm gonna kill him)
Is it who I think it is?
You always knew it was on purpose
Yeah, what's the point if it don't serve it's purpose
You're splintered but focused You're as good as gold
You're built from distraction so brilliantly dull
I had a better friend in my worst of plans
Than I ever had in either one of you

I never made a scene
Well they came to me
(I didn't have to)
I didn't have to X2 (well i never made a scene)

I always know to avoid the issue
Got me alone so I couldn't address you
Home is where you make it, love
Don't get yourself confused
Besides what's it to you?
I traded my conscience for your, for your confidence
Attacked my lungs with lies to pass the time
I made states move like regular days

I didn't have to X2
I never made a scene

I never made a scene
Well, they came to me
I never made a scene
Well, they came to me
I didn't have to
I didn't have to

New American Classic

We've got to get better said, it's all in your head
We could live through these letters or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter it's the days i can't take
When the hours move to minutes and i'm seconds away

Just ask the question come untie the knot
Say you won't care (x2)
Retrace the steps as if we forgot
Say you won't care (x2)
Try to avoid it but there's not a doubt
And there's one thing i can do nothing about

When all that we need is just a reaction
It's too much to ask for when there's no attraction (anymore)
If chasing our dreams was just a distraction
I'll want to remember when i know that i can't go back

Just ask the question come untie the knot
Say you won't care (x2)
Retrace the steps as if we forgot
Say you won't care (x2)
Try to avoid it (try to aviod it) but there's not a doubt
And there's one thing and i can do nothing
there's one thing and i can do nothing
there's one thing and i can do nothing about

(Musical Break)

Just ask the question (just ask the question) come untie the knot
Say you won't care (care) (x2)
Retrace the steps (retrace the steps) as if we forgot
Say you won't care (care) (x2)
Try to avoid it (try to aviod it) but there's not a doubt
And there's one thing and i can do nothing
there's one thing and i can do nothing
there's one thing and i can do nothing about

I Am Fred Astaire

i'm under the assumption
that i'm gonna be the one that's leaving you, tonight (tonight)
well i flipped every switch that i could find on my way out
just to upset you more
(just to keep you busy)
just to make you angry
(just because you were right)
just because you were...

all tired, scream safe haven
let's get this out and on the table

fast forward to, say, four o'clock
i'm keeping time, i'm holding, we're always holding,
(we're always holding)
we're always holding, holding out
and that's what got us here in the first place
you should have never come here alone
you should have never bothered at all (bothered at all)

(CHORUS)
scream older and wiser still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it oh...
(i haven't been happier since)
older and wiser still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it oh bree ann...
(i haven't been happier since)
i haven't been happy, no not since

well five o'clock the floor caught fire with footsteps (my footsteps)
and it spread like a disease to the door
im stuttering through it but i hear you,
well i, i hear its good t-t-to stick to what you know
and you know the whole lot of this,
it all could have been avoided when
you were courtside for this nightmare
well since then i got myself, come and listen

(CHORUS)
older and wiser still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it oh...
(i haven't been happier since)
older and wiser still filled with resentment
we get it, we get it oh (bree ann x3)
(i haven't been happier since x4)
i haven't been happy, no not since

well it used to take so much more...
(i used to, i used to, too)
it used to take so much more...
(i used to, i used to, too)
i used to, i used to, too...

One-Eighty By Summer

Go on just say it,
You need me like a bad habit,
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone.
Go on just say it (Are you afraid to?),
You need me like a bad habit, (Say what you want to, tell me you want to),
One that leaves you defenseless, dependent, and alone. (Are you afraid to say what you want to, tell me you want to?)

Well, I hold my tongue use it to assess,
The damage from way back when it mattered,
But nothing seems important anymore,
We’re just protecting ourselves from our self,
And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down, (I don’t think I’ll ever come back down),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down, (I don’t think I’ll ever come back down),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down, (I don’t think I’ll ever come back…),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back…

Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to.
Are you ashamed to say what you want to, tell me you want to.
(Go on just say it) Are you ashamed to... (Go on just say it) Say what you want to? Tell me you want to.
(Go on just say it) Are you ashamed to... (Go on just say it) Say what you want to? Tell me you want to.

I’m making the difference,
It just seems pointless,

WHY ALL THE OBVIOUS LINES GOT OUT OF FOCUS

Why can’t you just be happy,
Why can’t you just be happy?
And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down (I don’t think I’ll ever come back down),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down (I don’t think I’ll ever come back down),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down (I don’t think I’ll ever come back…),
I don’t think I’ll ever come back...

(Just come back… {over and over, about 15 times})
Go on, just say it,
Go on, just say it,
Well I’ll just say it,
I’ll just say it,
I need you defenseless, dependent, and alone.
(Just come back… {over and over, about 9 times})
She says &quot;Live up to your first impression,&quot;
Well my best side was your worst invention,
Why can't you live without the attention,
Why can't you live without the attention?
(Just come back… {over and over, about 8 times})
She says &quot;Live up to your first impression,&quot;
Well my best side was your worst invention,
Why can't you live without the attention,
Why can't you live without the attention?

She says &quot;Live up to your first impression&quot; (Come on, just say it),
Well my best side was your worst invention (Come on, just say it),
Why cant you live without the attention (I need you defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love without the attention (alone).
She says &quot;Live up to your first impression&quot; (I just say it),
Well my best side was your worst invention (I just say it),
Why cant you live without the attention (I need you defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love without the attention (Alone),
Why can’t you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why cant you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love…without…love…without (Defenseless, dependent, defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love (Defenseless, dependent),
Why can’t you love…without…love…without (Defenseless, dependent, defenseless, dependent).

Number Five With A Bullet

We're gonna die like this you know
Miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you
Really gotta hand it to you
Are you positive?
Absolutely sure
Well just get dressed, Don't do this
just get dressed, Don't do this

Spend the night lit listening to miles davis
You said it makes you want to fall in love
or be smart enough to keep your distance
You can't decide, you can't decide

-Chorus-
We're gonna die like this you know
Miserable and old
Really gotta hand it to you
Really gotta hand it to you

Well just get dressed, don't do this

Just get dressed, don't do this

It's a long way back south
(to where i belong)
Well you've been there once or twice
(and you still don't like it)
I say you just never gave it a chance

Besides did you ever stop to think
hat we could keep this up living like theives
(but you can't decide)
You can't decide
(no you can't decide)
Well you can't decide

Little Devotional

Well I'm blowing smoke out of your window
And you're slipping back into your dress
You know you were always such a lady
I've always been impressed

But gentlemen
They don't ask questions
Just keep quiet
She'll pay attention
Gentlemen don't ask questions
We could pay attention

-Chorus-
I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Well I pictured you in blue
But I have to say I'm more partial to the red
Deep, dark, and devastating
Leaving no question as to where you've been

I calm the crowd by keeping quiet
Move like a shadow up to your matress
Gentlemen don't ask questions
We could pay attention

Do you think he'd be better?
('Cause we're down for competition)
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better?
(This could all be on purpose)
Doing what I do best?

I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Do you think he'd be better
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better
Doing what I do best?

Do you think he'd be better
('Cause we're down for competition)
Doing what I do best?
Do you think he'd be better
(This could all be on purpose)
Doing what I do best?

I said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."
Said, "I'm gonna have myself in shambles
Before your folks are up and looking for some answers."

Slowdance On The Inside

Passed out in our school clothes so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion, I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along

Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless, So careless

Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless
And I could care less

So paint your face up something elegant
And this time maybe a darker shade of red
Cause a long night means a fist fight
Against your pillow and my pearly whites
I want to hear you scream you like me better on my knees
So let us grieve
So let us grieve

Don't you ask me
Don't you fight

Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, So thoughtless
And I could care less

Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here (I'll keep you here, I'll keep you here)

This glass house is burning down
You light the match, I'll stick around
I'll give you everything you want
And wish the worst of what I was

Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
