You Know How I Do

So sick, so sick of being tired.
And oh so tired of being sick.
We're both such magnifacent liars.
So crush me baby, I'm all ears.
So obviously desperate, so desperatly obvious.
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about its basic...

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.

So sick, so sick of being tired.
And oh so tired of being sick.
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about.
So obviously desperate, so desperatly obvious.
So good at setting bad examples.
Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle.

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore.

Think of all the fun you had.
(We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time.
(We won't stand for)
Think of all the days you spent alone with just your T.V. set and I
(We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
I can barely smile
(We won't stand for)
[x2]

Let's go
He's smoked out in the back of the van
(We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
He's smoked out in the back of the van
(We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on




Bike Scene

I'll leave the lights down low
So she knows
I mean business
And maybe we could talk this over
Because i could be your best bet
Let alone your worst ex
Let alone your worst...

I wanna hate you so bad
But i can't stop this
Anymore than you can

So honestly
How could you say those things
When you know they dont mean anything?
And you know very well
That I cant keep my hands to myself
Hands to myself

I wanna hate you so bad
But I can't stop this
Anymore than you can

And this is all wrong, and it shows
The certain things I promised
Not to let you know, not to let you know
I never, never...

(girl)
Got this silly way of keeping me up on the edge of my seat,
Got this silly way of keeping me up on the...

You've got this silly way of keeping me on the edge of my seat
But you're only counting the clock against the train and I'm miserable,
and your just getting started
I'm miserable

(girl)
I'll be singing while you're keeping me up on the edge of my seat,
I'll be singing while you're keeping me up on the edge...

You've got me right where you want me
Let's never talk, let's never, let's never talk about this again
Because i didn't want it to mean that much to me
I didn't want it to mean that much to me
I didn't want it to mean that much to me anyway




Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team)

Your lipstick his collar dont bother angel,
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
Well which would you prefer
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
Me face down, down across your floor
(me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing's loaded

And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
let's go...

Don't bother trying to explain Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
How about I'm outside of your window
How about I'm outside of your window
Watchin him keep the details covered
You're such a sucker (you're such a sucker)
for a sweet talker

And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
(the only thing I regret is that I, I never let you hold me back)
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This all was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
(why can't i feel anything from anyone other than you)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
(why can't i feel anything from anyone other than you)
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know...

And all of this was all your fault
And all of this

(I stay jealous)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason, I
just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason, I
just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason, I
just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life!




There's No 'I' In Team

Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
And if we go down,
we go down together
best friends means,
well best friends means

And I've got a twenty-dollar bill
that says you're up late night starting
fist fights versus fences in your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
Soaking in sympathy
from friends who never loved you
nearly half as much as me

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable

Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
If we go down,
we go down together
best friends means,
well best friends means

You never knew
well i never told you...
Everything I know about breaking hearts
I learned from you, it's true
I've never done it with the style and grace you have
But I've made long term plans
based on these mistakes

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable

Is this what you call tact?
I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
so let's end this call,
and end this conversation
there's nothing worse...
(that's right he said, that's right he said it)
I swear, you have no idea
The jealousy that became me thinking
(that's right he said)
that you always had it way too easy

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you
it's something unforgivable

Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friends mean I pulled the trigger
Best friends mean you get what you deserve




Great Romances Of The 20th Century

(talking) A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been
drinking jack and coke all morning.
She can make you feel high, fill a single greatest commodity known to man:
promise; promise of a better day, promise of a greater hope, promise of a new tomorrow.
This particular aura can be found in the gate of a beautiful girl:
in her smile, and in her soul, and the way she makes every
rotten little thing about life seem like it's gonna be ok.

September never stays this cold where I come from
And you know I'm not one for complaining,
But I love the way you roll excuses off the tip of your tongue
as I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
Fall apart

This won't mean a thing come tomorrow
And that's exactly how I'll make it seem
Cause I'm still not sleeping,
Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this

So please, please (please)
I'm running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy)
and I never said I'd take this,
I never said I'd take this lying down

She says, come on come on, let's just get this over with
She says, come on come on, let's just get this over with
She says, come on come on, let's just get this over with
She says, come on, come on..
(I never said I'd take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and I've crawled home from worse than this)

You always come close but this never comes easy,
(I still know everything)
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything.
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything.
You always come so close...
I still know everything, I still know everything
I still know...

You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come...you come in close

I never said I'd take this lying down,
I never said I'd take this lying down,
I never said I'd take this lying down,
But I've crawled home from worse than this

If it's not keeping you up nights,
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?
Then what's the point?

I'm in your room, now is this turning you on?
Am I turning you on?

I'm in your room, are you turned on?

I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm thinking maybe, are you turned on?
Are you turned on?




Ghost Man On Third

Jynx me something crazy
Thinking if it's three
then I'm as smooth as the skin
rolls across the small of your back
It's too bad it's not my style
If you need me
I'm out and on the parkway,
patient and waiting for headlights,
dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the
inconsistencies of my moods

It's times like these where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this
It's times like these, where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this

It's a campaign of distraction
and revisionist history, oh

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one has to know about this

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
Don't let me down

But whatever I have gettin myself into
maybe has been slicing inches from my waist
It's my fist vs. the bottle
(and thank god you weren't there...)
And that's how bad could this hurt
or against I won't feel a thing
(and thank god you weren't there...)
I tell you all about it
It's just not working out
(...to watch me hit the bottom)
not working out

It's a campaign of distraction
and revisionist history, oh

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one has to know about this

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)
It's a shame I doubt they even care
(it's a shame I doubt they even care)
No one is to know about this
Don't let me down

This is why we were taught so much better than this
This is why we were taught so much better than this

This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does
This is what living like this does




Timberwolves At New Jersey

Get up, get up
Come on, come on, let's go,
There's just a few things
I think that you should know
Those words at best
were worse than teenage poetry
Fragment ideas,
And too many pronouns,
Stop it, come on
You're not making sense now
You can't make them want you
They're all just laughing

Literate and stylish (literate and stylish)
Kissable and quiet (kissable and quiet)
Well that's what girls' dreams are made of
And that's all you need to know (that's all you need to know)
You have it or you don't (you have it or you)
You have it or you (don't)

You have it or you
You see how much time you're wastin?
You're coward of seperating

Stop it, come on
You know I can't help it
I got the mic
And you got the mosh pit
What will it take
To make you admit that you were wrong?
Was his demise so carefully constructed?
Well let's just say I got what I wanted
Cause in the end it's always the same (you're still gone)
Lets go

Literate and stylish (literate and stylish)
Kissable and quiet (kissable and quiet)
Well that's what girls' dreams are made of
And that's all you need to know (that's all you need to know)
You have it or you don't (you have it or you)
You have it or you (don't) don't

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue
And my eye through the scope
Down the barrel of a gun.
Remind me not to ever act this way again.
This is you trying hard to
Make sure that you're seen
With a girl on your arm
And your heart on your sleeve.
Remind me not to ever think of you again.
This is me with the words
On the tip of my tongue
And my eye through the scope
Down the barrel of a gun.
Remind me not to ever act this way again
Again

This is me with the words
On the tip of my tongue
And my eye on the scope
Down the barrel of a gun
I'll never act this way again

Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know)
You've had your chance and folded
Don't hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know)
You've had your chance and folded
Don't hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse

(I know somethin that you don't know)
This is me with the worse intentions, don't
(I know somethin that you don't know)
Hold your, hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
(I know somethin that you don't know)
Hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
Hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
(I know somethin that you don't know)

Don't hold your breath because you'll only make things worse!




The Blue Channel

And I'm not so sure
If I'm sure of anything anymore
But this is the last night (this is the last night)
That you'll be keepin'
Secrets from me

Just hit the lights before you leave
you know of
the million things you had to say sorry just
just might have found it's way in there somehow, someway
But don't worry sweetie
cause I already know

And I'm not so sure
if I'm sure of anything anymore
But this is the last night (this is the last night)
that you'll be keepin'
secrets from me

You're so guilty it's disgusting
He's been sneakin underneath your sheets
And your hands
Have been in places that they probably shouldn't go
But don't worry sweetie
Cause I already know

Regardless my pictures
Well they don't line your mirror
Regardless you know that
I'll still wait for your call

Regardless my pictures
Well they don't line your mirror
Regardless you know that
I'll still wait for your call

Honestly (well they dont line my mirror)
It's the last time (Regardless)
That I see you
I'll still wait for your call

Do you know what your girl's been up to?




You're So Last Summer

She said, Don't...don't let it go to your head.
Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
Boys like you are a dime a dozen.
She said...You're a touch over-rated.
You're a lush, and I hate it.
But these grass stains on my knees,
They won't mean a thing

[Chorus]
And all I need to know is that I'm something you'll be missin'
Well, maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that..

I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
The truth...is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt

[Chorus]

Cuz I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last chance you'll get to drop my name
Cuz I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last time you'll get to drop my name

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
Maybe I should hate you for this
Maybe I should hate you for this




Head Club

Well it's getting colder and you're getting distant
and I just keep thinkin
that I never meant it to be like this(to be like this)
You know what comes next(so do I)
You're begging for a way to gracefully bow out
and say goodnight

It's worse than you think
On your way home, you should have known
you never listen to me
I'm only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie
I'm only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie

I can't say I blame you
but I wish that I could
I'm sick of writing every song about you

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving

(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
(I'm sick of writing every song about you should have known on your way home)
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
