Saves The Day - Under The Boards lyrics

Under The Boards
Radio
Can't Stay The Same
Get Fucked Up
When I'm Not There
Lonely Nights
Bye Bye Baby
Stay
Getaway
Because You Are No Other
Kaleidoscope
Woe
Turning Over in My Tomb

Under The Boards

I wanna crawl into the ground and not come out
For 37 years when my life runs out
A demon in my mouth, it spits words out
Let everybody hate me, make me kill myself

I want to lie below the weight of the sky

And then I'll rise above the earth in a hurricane
Spun into the wind with the whirlin' rain
Reach into the top of a blackened sky
Screamin' as I fall to the earth to die

I want to lie below the weight of the sky

So into the basement and under the boards, I'll go
(whoa whoa)
To live with the leeches that lurk in the undertow
(whoa whoa)
I wanna rot all the roots of the rest of the life above
(whoa whoa)
And I will not rise

(ha ha ha)
I will not rise

Radio

Hearing the words as they're leaving my mouth
I can't believe myself
I'm trying to be what you want me to be
I guess I can't catch up
Once in a while, making you smile, we're singing with the radio
You're singing with the radio

Stare into space like I'm not even there
I swear I'm not alone
but you make me think that I live with a ghost
But yet my love still grows
Once in a while, making you smile, we're singing with the radio
You're singing with the radio
We heard it on the radio

They're singing whoa oh, whoa oh oh
whoa oh, whoa oh oh

Once in a while, making you smile, we're singing with the radio
You're singing with the radio
We heard it on the radio
You're singing with the radio

They're singing whoa oh, whoa oh oh
whoa oh, whoa oh oh

Can't Stay The Same

Go, if you want to go
Don't want to lie here while you cry yourself to sleep
Say what you want to say
'Cause I can see by your face that something's not the Same

Hey hey everything's okay
I love you more than I can say
But we can't stay the same
Yeah

Do what you want to do
Don't want to keep you here holding so tight you can't breathe
Stay not another minute stay
'Cause I don't think I want to live here dying all alone

Hey hey everything's okay
I love you more than I can say
But we can't stay the same
Yeah

Well I've been thinking about the words I've said before
When I was locked outside and pounding on the door
I wish I said I'm sorry sweetheart I can't be
The man I lead you to believe that I would be
Somewhere deep inside I know something's wrong
I know you're never safe around me anymore

Hey hey everything's okay
I love you more than I can say
But we can't stay the same
Yeah

Get Fucked Up

Watching the moon moving to the ocean floor
Standing on the neighbor's lawn
It's four AM on Friday
All night long I'm dreaming of your loving arms
I'm staring at the fading stars
And waiting for your call

But every time I think about you
I get fucked up
I feel like all the stars are falling
Inside my heart
Inside my heart

Gone are the days
Staring through the window pane
To eyes that won't wash away
The rain
But now we're alone
Two lights along a distant shore
A loving life that leads us home away from wasted days

But every time I think about you
I get fucked up
I feel like all the stars are falling
Inside my heart
Inside my heart

No more waiting for the days
The place that we can run away
And we can have a drink
But now we're moving on

And every time I think about you
I get fucked up
I feel like all the stars are falling
Inside my heart
Inside my heart
Inside my heart
Inside my heart

When I'm Not There

All night long
Ghosts with snakes
Stare at the ceiling as if there was somebody there

I start to wonder
what's he do when I'm not there
'Cause I've been calling
But i stopped hearing from my friends
did you think I'd forget?

Twist my words every time
Lie all along and you know I won't know it's a lie
And I remember what you said when I was there
It never happened like the way you said it did
Did you think I'd forget

(whoa oh oh oh oh)

I thought I saw you
Outside my window last night
It's lucky for you
A shadow fled from the flashlight
I'll have to wonder how you look without your teeth
The hollow smile
You keep your tongue inside your cheek
I never loved you
I never trusted you at all
The stars above you
Are shining down upon us all
I hope you never forget

Lonely Nights

I guess I wrote this song
To hear you singing along
Remember all those times
Laughing so hard we would cry

So many lonely nights
So many lonely nights
I hoped you'd call
Stare at the wall
Why do shadows crawl
All along the floor
I hoped you'd call
And that is all

I can say in this song
Time we were moving along
Remember all those days
Staring through the window pane

So many lonely nights
So many lonely nights
I hoped you'd call
Stare at the wall
Why do shadows crawl
All along the floor
I hoped you'd call
And that is all

Is it really what I wanted to say?
'Cause I've never even you before
The way that sad look'd come on your face
Is it really what you wanted to say?
And no, I never even gave it a thought
But i know we can't stay the same
Is it ever what you wanted to be?
Or am I living in the same old dream?
The one where nothing's as it seems
The one where nothing's as it seems
(nothing's as it seems)
The one where nothing's as it seems
The one where nothing's as it oh...

Bye Bye Baby

bye bye baby doll
you know i'm never coming home
for any reason i should call
don't pick up the phone

just know i'll love you from a far and that is all
you know as well as i, we're both alone

so bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby
bye bye baby doll
there's letters littering the lawn
the police in the parking lot
every time i wake you go

i'll love you from a far and that is all
you know as well as i, we're both alone

so bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby

don't pick up the phone
just know i'll love you from a far and that is all
you know as well as i, we're both alone
my heart, my love it died so long ago

so bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby
and bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby
bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby
bye bye baby
our love can't save me so bye bye baby
bye bye baby
bye bye, bye BYE!

Stay

I'll go walking around in the dark of the day.
Right when everything's quiet, see stars as they change.
Trees sway, sag to the street drinkin' puddles of rain.
Right on the corner of your old street where we once stayed.

Seem so quiet..
Can't hear nothing now.. but..

Once there was music that swam in the air.
Crazy laughing at dishes that smash in the sink.
Howling wolf on the radio, sing you to sleep.
Right now, the sun coming up through the cracks in the trees.

I thought you'd save me..
From myself with Love...
Love...
But alone is how I stay, from the womb to the grave.

I thought you'd save me..
From myself with Love...
Love...
But alone is how I stay, from the world to the grave.
That's how I stay, from the world to the grave.
That's how I stay, from the world to the grave.

Getaway

i don't need nobody
not at all
'cause i'm gonna end it all in the light at the break of dawn
and i don't why or what went wrong
i'm tired of trying to pretend to believe that i can go on

the pain won't let me get away
and now i know we'll never be the same
i don't wanna live, not another day
i don't wanna live this way
i said the pain won't let me get away

i'm gonna get my staples
and a bottle of booze
i've got these skewers in my mouth now there's nothing else i can do
except to run out naked in the road
reaching up into the air, got the taste of blood in my throat

the pain won't let me get away
and now i know we'll never be the same
i don't wanna live, not another day
i don't wanna live this way
i said the pain won't let me get away

(oogacha oogacha oogacha oogacha)

the pain won't let me get away
and now i know i'll never be the same
i don't wanna live, not another day
i'll never let you live this way
i said the pain won't let me get away

Because You Are No Other

I come before you wake
Watching while I wait
There's only one thing left for me to say,
"Tomorrow never come home gotta let go all that you know
you'll never make it out alive unless you go"

No more warning signs
No more shallow lies
I'll dream of you from hell
My love goodbye

I'm fetching all of the rope
Gonna tie you onto this post
You'll never make it out alive
And now you know

When you start to move
I start to cross the room
To give you one last kiss
Before we die

But when I turn to come near
I see myself standing in the mirror
The hollow eyes, The blood I cry
It's all so clear

Now I know that hell has been here
Inside my heart that's swallowed by fear
I fall onto the floor
To pray I disappear

Kaleidoscope

I wake up knowing that you're gone
Letter left inside the droor
I stare through the window waiting

How would I ever save
Those hearts I cannot erase

Look out, saw it come on your face
It's frozen there each time I blink
It's my kaleidoscope of pain

How would I ever save
Those hearts I cannot erase

And now

If you never gonna come back home

So I give in to the pain that eats me from within

How would I ever save
Those hearts I cannot erase

How would I ever save

Woe

WHEEERE?
Where am I?

I've never been myself
I live for someone else
In the dark I dig into my flesh
I'm calling out, I'm calling out

I'm crying
For my death
I'm crying
WOAH I'm crying

Why am I even here?
Everyone one would be better without me
The sun is shining over city streets
But in my heart the dark is drowning
Is all that I see

I'm crying
WOAH I'm crying

Until I fall under a moving train
I'll live my life alone in love with pain [x3]

Turning Over in My Tomb

So now I'm stuck under the boards
No room to run, not anymore
I'm left to die here all alone
Or choose to live now on my own
I reach my hand above the ground
And feel for a root to pull me out
Now there is nothing I can do

I'm turning over in my tomb [x2]

When I get my feet out on the ground
I notice there ain't no one around

Everybody go home
To hope to hide from the ghosts
But they're living all alone

Stars are finally falling down
The trees reach up from underground
I'll never be the man you want
I'll never give you what you need
The only thing I wish I'd said
Is sorry for the things I've said
Now there is nothing I can do

I'm turning over in my tomb [x2]
