City Watched Me Burn
04:06
|
|||
Last night the city watched me burn
Sick and tired of waiting for my turn
A simple smile to people that I hate
You say it's virtuous to wait
Don't you want to
You don't have to
Take my hand and get it over with now
Is it new or are we calling it something else
A lesson for those who can't be helped
You think you do, but you don't know me yet
Just take a seat cause this you won't forget
Don't you want to
You don't have to
Take my hand and get it over with now
Last night the city watched me burn
Sick and tired of waiting for my turn
Don't you want to
You don't have to
Take my hand and get it over with now
Just get it over with now
Just get it over with now
Just get it over with now

I Don't Wanna Want You
02:43
|

I don't wanna want you
I don't wanna want you anymore
You've been out there cheatin'
Yeah, I caught you sleepin' with that whore
And it's the same stale gloom
Ever since I've been living with you
I don't wanna want you
Don't want you anymore
Could you give a reason
Why you're out there sleazin' in the night
I deserve some credit
You're just so pathetic, it's not right
And it's the same stale gloom
Ever since I've been living with you
I don't wanna want you
Don't want you anymore
This is a lesson I won't learn
You're the last thing I deserve
My friends tell me I'm absurd
I don't wanna want you
I don't wanna want you anymore
Every time I miss you
I just wanna kiss you like before
It was the same stale gloom
Before I started living with you
I don't wanna want you
Don't want you any
I don't wanna want you
Don't want you any
I don't wanna want you
Don't want you anymore

Christopher
04:05
|

Unashamed without a care
Dark eyes and golden hair
A simple mind and heavy heart
Long days that never start
Christopher, we all want you here
Don't go, stay
Don't believe everything you hear
They don't know it's all play
Looking out the window
Watching people you don't know
With a wish you make a dream
Nothing's ever as it seems
Christopher, we all want you here
Don't go, stay
Don't believe everything you hear
They don't know it's all play
A lonesome soul with nowhere to go
But you make it hard on yourself
A heart of gold, but it takes its toll
And you hide it like no one else
Christopher, we all want you here
Don't go, stay
Don't believe everything you hear
They don't know it's all play

Generation's Fast
03:33
|
|||
Something's wrong you're feeling all alone
Can't seem to find your niche
Gotta get in just to fit in
First year's been such a bitch
The boys down the hall know it all
They invite you to go to town
Five beers later you're looking for the haters
You're amped up as the sun goes down
When the evening sky attacks
You run wild and there's no turning back
She's so pretty it's such a pity
She doesn't even know your name
After shots in the parking lot
You walk her off like she's free game
Cause when the evening sky attacks
You run wild and there's no turning back
Your generation is fast
With no one to hold you back
Now she's laid up in your room
The lights are low, but you don't know what to do
Your generation is fast
With no one to hold you back
Your generation is fast
With no one to hold you back

When I'm a Wreck
04:25
|
|||
I don't want anyone to see me like this
Hide behind a broken smile, dreaming of what I miss
The days are long, I'm all alone, can't seem to catch my breath
Red-faced, messed up place, so many words I regret
You get me more than myself
You protect me from myself
Uncontrollable, inconsolable, mentally destroyed
All these years wrapped up in tears, nothing fills this void
Holding back, heart attack, swallowing this pain
If you were here, it'd be clear, I wouldn't have to explain
You get me more than myself
You protect me from myself
You love me when I'm a wreck
Going out to leave this house, my spirit's been tamed
I've been drinking and thinking, I have myself to blame
Sunrise, blistered eyes buried in my hands
When I fall, can I call, cause you'd understand
You get me more than myself
You protect me from myself
You love me when I'm a wreck

I've Got a Knife
03:30
|
|||
Yeah, well I got a knife
You should know
It's in my pocket
I keep it close
When I'm acting crazy
You seem just fine
So don't be shady
And leave me behind
Take it out take it in
I hold my breath, you're in my skin
Take a stance go for a dance
And hold my purse, cause you're the worst
Yeah, well I got a knife
You should know
It's in my pocket
I keep it close
Throw me over your shoulder
Carry me to the car
Couldn't be much colder
Than you are right now
Take it out take it in
I hold my breath, you're in my skin
Take a stance go for a dance
And hold my purse cause you're the worst
I miss my independence
I want my independence
There goes my independence
There goes my innocence
Yeah, well I got a knife
You should know
It's in my pocket
I keep it close
Shadows on the sidewalk
Tell me I'm alright
Clutch it closer cause it's talk
Keep it out of sight
Yeah, cause I got a knife
Yeah, I got a knife
I got a knife
I got a knife

Loose Connection
06:04
|
|||
I used to dread all those times that you'd come over
Now I can't get you off my mind
Reasoning has left me numb
Mind as heavy as my thumb
So if you're seeking my affection
Look the other way
I'm not playing your stupid game
I hope you find the loose connection
I hope you find it soon
Cause in the meantime, I'll be thinking of you
Take my feelings take my pride
Take back all those tears I cried
Cause you know what gets me down
Always lost and then refound
So if you're seeking my affection
Look the other way
I'm not playing your stupid game
I hope you find the loose connection
I hope you find it soon
Cause in the meantime, I'll be thinking of you
I'm not saying you're the reason I'm down
It's just best if you don't come around
And then I saw you the other day
And I had nothing to say
Cause in the meantime, I've been getting over you

Follow Me
03:27
|
|||
Get off my back
I won't speak
The words won't come until I can think
Is that a fact?
It's unclear
Say what you mean if you want me to stay here
Take your coat off come to me
Impossibly so hopelessly
You're so different
But you're just the same as you were
People adore tight spaces
It's a crowded room
And I can't stand their faces
You say one more beer
And then you'll leave
Well I'm ready now and you better follow me
Take your coat off come to me
Impossibly so hopelessly
You're so different
But you're just the same as you were
So immature
So insecure
Yeah, yeah

Easy on Me
03:10
|
|||
There's a wave that pours out of my soul
And it burns the part that's real
Should you ever see my train of thought
Or the lies that I have bought
When the devil is at my front door
And the angels sing my name
I'll remember the first time we met
Oh a night I'll never forget
When I take the stage and you're in the crowd
And the tears fall down my guitar
I could never be your fantasy
So tonight take it easy on me
Oh tonight take it easy on me
Oh tonight take it easy on me

Waiting on a Sign
04:03
|
|||
Is this how it ends?
We had all the good plans
So many years have passed us by
I am who I am until I die
Always changing
And you're asking why
Cause there's something in my mind
I'm waiting on a sign
Get to the point
Let's not get out of joint
Maybe we could watch the sunset
I'll smoke all of your cigarettes
Don't say anything
We might regret
Cause there's something in my mind
I'm waiting on a sign
Is this how you want it to go?
I need to know
I don't want this to be the end of the road
Don't let me go
Cause there's something in my mind
I'm waiting on a sign
My lips are sealed
Don't make such a big deal
It's not like everybody knows
You know I hate to be alone
If you feel anything
Then let it show
Cause there's something in my mind
I'm waiting on a sign
Yeah, there's something in my mind
I'm waiting on a sign
