Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued
Brothers and sisters, put this record down
Take my advice 'cause we are bad news
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
It's just past 8
And I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says
''Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters, ya put these words down
Into your notebook, spit lines like these
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet
It's just past 8
And I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says
"Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense.
Of All The Gin Joints In All The World
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You only hold me up like this 'cause you don't know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you
We're making out inside crashed cars
We're sleeping through all our memories
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
(Now I only waste it dreaming of you)
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
You only hold me up like this 'cause you don't know who I really am
I used to waste my time on waste my time on
Waste my time dreaming of being alive
(Now I only waste it dreaming of you)
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've got headaches and bad luck but they couldn't touch you, no
I've got headaches and bad luck but they couldn't touch you, no
I'm not trying, you only hold me up like this
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
'Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains
Like I'll never be the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Dance, Dance
She says she's no good
With words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out, "A joke of a romantic"
Or just stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words
Too over-dramatic
Tonight it's, "It can't get much worse,"
VS. "No one should ever feel like"
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
You always fold just
Before you're found out
Drink up, it's last call, last resort
But only the first mistake and
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress
(Mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you
Crawling into bed with me
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
(Way they'd love)
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance.
Sugar, We're Goin' Down
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dyin' to tell you anything you want to hear
'Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song
And drop a heart and break a name
We're always sleeping in a sleeping for the wrong team
We're goin' down, down, in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're goin' down, down, in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up, how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song
And drop a heart and break a name
We're always sleeping in a sleeping for the wrong team
We're goin' down, down, in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're goin' down, down, in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're goin' down, down, down, down
We're goin' down, down
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
Down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it.
I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)
Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close at trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it and never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping and the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves, force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
And the record won't stop skipping and the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves, force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
To everyone else around me, everyone else around me
Everyone else around me.
7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)
I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
'Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
'Cause I don't do too well on my own
The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
You're not going home alone
'Cause I don't do too well
I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
You're not going home alone
'Cause I don't do too well on my own
Da, da, da
Do, do, do
Da, da, da
Do, do, do
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
You're not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
You're not the desperate type
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
'Cause I don't do too well on my own.
Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear, I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're the therapists, pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists, who found the formula
To make your heart
Swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie
If you keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear, I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're travel like gypsies only
With worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers, here 'til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way the songs and the words
Own the beating of our hearts
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear, I'd burn this city down to show you the light
And there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to have us bend your trust
Got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of, "Believe" is the lie
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in our just give up
The best part of, "Believe" is the lie
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in our just give up
Are we growing up or just going down?
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear, I'd burn this city down to show you the light.
Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends
You are a getaway car
A rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer in a rear view mirror
You make my head swim
I'll keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, yeah, we're friends
Just because we move units
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone else is trying, everyone else is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt
Oh yeah, you caught me, but I caught you way worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war"
But who are you fighting for?
The tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, yeah, we're friends
Just because we move units
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone else is trying, everyone else is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Everyone else is trying, everyone else is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone else is trying, everyone else is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame.
I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies and friends now
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's, oh so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up, no
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report, I am missing you to death
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's, oh so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up, no
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found the cure to growing older
I found the cure to growing older
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's, oh so fitting, so fitting of the way you are
Can't cover it up, can't cover it up.
A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"
I confess, I messed up
Droppin', ''I'm sorry'' like you're still around
And I know you're dressed up
''Hey kid you'll never live this down''
You're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
Write me off, give up on me
'Cause darling, what did you expect?
I'm just off a lost cause
A long shot, don't even take this bet
You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right
I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
Always on
(Always on)
You said you'd keep me honest
Always on
(Always on)
But I won't call you on it
Always on
(Always on)
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late.
Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows)
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores
I am the waves begging for big moons
(Moons)
I'm mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town, no oh
Your secret's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
(It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
But it must, be said again
That all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
(Oh, oh, oh)
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
Your secret's out
I know this hurts, it was meant to
(It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter
I used to obsess over living
Now I only obsess over you
You tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
This has been said so many times
That I'm not sure if it matters
I know this hurts, it was meant to
(It was meant to)
Your secret's out and the best part
Is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't, don't, don't matter
From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are letting out
He said "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address on the same old loneliness?
And this is you and me and me and you
Until we've got nothing left.
XO
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
To ''I swear, I say"
To ''I swear, I say"
To hands between legs, to whatever it takes
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs, to the emergency exit door, no
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me but I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both, love never wanted me
I hoped you choked and crashed your car
Hey, tear catcher, that's all that you are
Ever were from the start
''I swear, I say''
''I swear, I say''
To hands between legs, to whatever it takes
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door, no
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me?" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me but I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both, no
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Trough the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the love I left my conscience pressed
Trough the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
Loose lips sink ships
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
''What did it ever do for me?'' I say.
