Futures
I always believed in futures
A hope for better, in November
Try the same both, same lucky numbers
It could be a cold night, for a lifetime
Hey now, you can't keep saying endlessly
My darling, how long until this sun burns me
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast rides
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime
Take the streets, completely
I always could count on futures
Things would look up, they'd look up
Why so hard to find a balance
Between living decent and the cold and real
Hey now, what is it you think you see
My darling, now's the time to disagree
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime
Take the streets, completely
Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and were thinking
My darling, believe your voice can mean something
Say hello to good times
Trade up all the fast lines
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime
Take the streets, completely
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime
Take the streets, completely
Just Tonight...
I was scared but once I thought about, I let it go
Everything she said to me I guess I oughta know
We're all tired of talk when it comes to shove
Put up, put out or stay at home
We'll never be the same
Never feel this way again
I'd give you anything but you want pain.
A little water please
I taste you all over my teeth
Never again
Just tonight, ok
All at once the music stopped, the feeling went away
An ugly picture me and you, but nothing I can change
You know what happens with the lights back on
The less you know the more you want
(And you want, you want)
We'll never be the same
Never feel this way again
I'd give you anything but you want pain.
A little water please
I taste you all over my teeth
Never again
Just tonight, ok (3x)
Work
If you only once would let me
Only just one time
Then be happy with the consequence
With whatever's gonna happen tonight
Don't think we're not serious
When is it ever not?
The love we make is give and it's take
I'm game to play along
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time.
All the best DJs are saving
Their slowest song for last
When the dance is through it's me and you
Come on, would it really be so bad?
The things we think might be the same
But I won't fight for more
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve
Count on that for sure
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time.
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time.
Yeah we still have time.
Can't say I was never wrong
But some blame rests on you
Work and play they're never OK
To mix the way we do
All I can say
I shouldn't say
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time.
You wanna take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time.
Yeah we still have time.
Kill
Well you're just across the street, looks a mile to my feet
I wanna go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still, I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will
Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance (chance)
Or only one way that it was always meant to be (be)
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away...
I can picture your face well from the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I pick up put down the phone like your favorite Heatmiser song goes
It's just like being alone
Oh God please don't tell me this has been in vain (vain)
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means (means)
You kill me, you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't turn away...
So go on love, leave while there's still hope for escape
Gotta take what you can these days, there's so much ahead, and so much regret
I know what you wanna say, I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you, and I should have said it
But tell me just what has it ever meant?
I can't help it baby, this is who I am (am)
And I'm sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel (feel)
You kill me, you build me up but just to watch me break (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away...
The World You Love
I got a story, it's almost finished
All I need is someone to tell it to, maybe that's you
Our time is borrowed, spent too freely
Every minute I have, needs to be made up, but how?
I'm looking for a nice way to say, I'm Out.
I want out.
I fall asleep with my friends around me
The only place I know I feel safe. I'm gonna call this home.
The open road is still miles away
Ain't nothin serious, we still have our fun
Oh, we had it once.
But windows open and close that's just how it goes
(Chorus) Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We're only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think we are.
I'm in love with the ordinary.
I need a simple space to rest my head, and everything gets clear.
I'm a little ashamed for asking, but just a little helps
It gets me straight again, helps me get over, over it
It might seem like a dream but it's real to me
Chorus...
You should see the canals are freezing, you should see me high
You should just be here, be with me here.
It doesn't seem there's hope for me, I let you down
But I won't give in now, not for any amount.
Chorus X2
Pain
I don't feel the way I've ever felt.
I know.
I'm gonna smile and not get worried.
I try but it shows.
Anyone can make what I have built.
And better now
Anyone can find the same white pills.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are horrid times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.
I never thought I'd walk away from you.
I did.
But it's a false sense of accomplishment.
Every time I quit
Anyone can see my every flaw.
It isn't hard.
Anyone can say they're above this all.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are horrid times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me.
I can't let it bother me.
It takes my pain away.
It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes.
And she's not breathing back.
Anything but bother me.
(It takes my pain away)
Never mind these are horrid times.
Oh oh oh
I can't let it bother me
Drugs Or Me
Stay with me
You're the one I need
You make the hardest things seem easy
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sun shines slow
Always keep me close
Chorus:
If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise, you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Don't let go
Dig a great big hole
Down and in this hole, we'll both go
You're so blind
You can't see me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight
Chorus
I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Take me, I need your hand
So far, to pull me up
Take the will out from me, so far
Chorus
I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs
Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sun shines slow
Always keep me close
Polaris
I'll say it straight and plain
I know I've made mistakes
I've always been afraid
(I've always been afraid)
A thousand nights or more
I travel east and north
Please answer the door
Can you tell me...
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
Get down on your knees
Whisper what i need
Something pretty
(Something pretty)
I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful
Then you tell me...
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
I'm done there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let it go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me
Nothingwrong
Hold them down our bleeding suspects
(Just because, just 'cause, just who are you?)
Like candle light, burn burn burn, baby
(Burn, burn, whose turn, Who gets a taste today?)
[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing
We can't look away,
But we're just looking
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing wrong!
Turn them off, our blacklist singers
(Don't ask why, don't cry, don't make a scene)
A forty-five, spin spin spin, give in
(Spin spin, who wins, who's not afraid to play?)
We've done nothing wrong,
But we've done nothing!
We can't look away,
But we're just looking in!
It's second nature to say,
Hey hey hey, we've done nothing but -
Nothing but take what's handed down
Said nothing but words approved to shout
We wanna know that we own the cake we're eating
Spit it out! Out, out...
Hold them down (burn, burn)
Hold them down our bleeding suspects
Turn them off (turn, turn)
Turn them off our blacklist singers
[Chorus]
We've done nothing wrong!
We've done nothing wrong!
Night Drive
Lay back baby and we'll do this right
There's blankets in back we can use
I'll start the car, but we'll stay in park
The cold can kill us before fumes
Now's the right time for a good song
Get something to say what I can't
Do you feel bad, like I feel bad?
We'll pour us a road, we'll both drink and drive
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with the love we made
Come alive on the driver's side
So close I taste your breath
Your lips go dry, but they're sweet inside
The wine must go right to your head
It'd be easy if you get mad
But three fingers point back to you
We could stay here
Stay here all night
No one will know us and the moonlight
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with the love we made
I set my watch by street side clock
Needle in nickel groove
You pierce my heart like a willing arm
Your ticking makes my blood move
There's no way out this fade out
Be Happy to Get what you do
Make you notice with Purpose
'Cause quitting alone will never get you dry
Never get you dry
Give me everything you got now
I don't feel a single thing
Drag me out into the cold rain
Let it hover over me
Kiss me with your cherry lipstick
Never wash you off my face
Hit me, I can take your cheap shots
Leave you with the love we made
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
Hit me, I can take your cheap shot
Leave you with the love we made
23
I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Now stop it...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I wont always love what I'll never have
I wont always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
Shame
Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
It might take you all night
But you'll love me with time
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Take from the rest, your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Is it dark yet outside?
I'm through hiding tonight
Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
Take from the rest your debt erased
Sleep with my curse and feel no shame
No shame
