This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where I laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more
Do you care if I don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
Will I shake this off pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
Loves a girl
Do you care if I don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight or will you think of me
Will I shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is...

Please take me by the hand
It's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed
I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me
And I won't forget you
I'll write you once a week she said.
Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off
And if young love is just a game
Then I must have missed the kick off
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything
But I'd go through hell for you and-
I haven't been this scared in a long time.
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine.
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody.
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me.
I haven't been this scared in a long time.
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine.
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody.
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me.

She's a pretty girl
She's always fallin' down
And I think I just fell in love with her
But she won't ever remember, remember
And I can always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drownin' in drunk sincerity
A sad and lonely girl
Quit cryin' your eyes out
Quit cryin' your eyes out and baby come on
Isn't there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit cryin' your eyes out, baby
And she said, I think we're runnin' out of alcohol
Tonight I hate this worn out town
And all my best friends will be the death of me
But they won't ever remember, remember
So please take me far away
Before I'm melt into the ground
And all my words get used against me
You sad and lonely girl
Quit cryin' your eyes out
Quit cryin' your eyes out and baby come on
Isn't there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit cryin' your eyes out, baby
Quit cryin' your eyes out
Quit cryin' your eyes out and baby come on
Isn't there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on
Quit cryin' your eyes out
Isn't there something familiar about me?
Quit cryin' your eyes out
The past is only the future with the lights on
So quit cryin' your eyes out, baby

The drops of rain they fall all over.
This awkward silence makes me crazy.
The glow inside burns light upon her.
I'll try to kiss you if you let me.
(This can't be the end)
Tidal waves they rip right through me.
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad.
Pick me up now, I need you so bad.
Down down down down.
Down down down down.
It gets me so-
Down down down down.
Down down down down.
It gets me so.
Your vows of silence fall all over.
The look in your eyes makes me crazy.
I feel the darkness break upon her.
I'll take you over if you let me.
(You did this)
Tidal waves they rip right through me.
Tears from eyes worn cold and sad.
Pick me up now, I need you so bad.
Down down down down.
Down down down down.
It gets me so-
Down down down down.
Down down down down.
It gets me so.

The building turned its back ignored my call,
The concrete looks too thin to break my fall,
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene,
I counted people as I neared the street below,
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa
I saw it all, I saw it all go down,
The shadow grew as he approached the ground,
The sunset stretched across this nighttime scene,
I turned away as he came near the street below,
Whoa-oa-oa
Below
Whoa-oa-oa
Below

Let's forget this all move on

Take off the gloves
We fell in love by the side of the road
This desert will break you down
The veins you cut
Your smoking tongue is the end of us all
But you only care about
Fame and fortune
Watching others tortured
Casting your reflection
Grocery store perfection
This is the last time
Sent to the front line
With dirty boots on the ground
You said I'll make this all mine.
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone.
Blackjack and architect
Let's drink ourselves to death
The crimes of everyone
Passed down from father to son
Hopeless and destitute
Destroyed my gratitude
Your strongest lines of defense
Are all just self-inflicted wounds.
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong
You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone
Yeah your hearts all gone.

(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
[x3]
(I miss you, I miss you) [x4]

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Swing life away [x4]
