What It Takes

I spent fifteen minutes in your head,

Just looking for a light, so i could get around,

No wonder why you’re quiet, under my breath,

I can believe you speak without a sound.

 

Could we be forever? (and more)

Could we be forever? (and more)

Please.

I don’t wanna jump that ledge,

With anybody else.

I know if we can cross that bridge,

Paradise is on the other side,

Please.

 

I spent fifteen minutes in my car,

Just looking for a place, to get out.

I think I found it in your arms,

Close your eyes and don’t look down.

 

Could we be forever? (and more)

Could we be forever? (and more)

Please.

I don’t wanna jump that ledge,

With anybody else.

I know if we can cross that bridge,

Paradise is on the other side,

Please.

 

I know we’ve got what it takes,

To love even on our worst of days,

I know we’ve got what it takes

 

Could we be forever? (and more)

Could we be forever? (and more)

Please.

I don’t wanna jump that ledge,

With anybody else.

I know if we can cross that bridge,

Paradise is on the other side,

Please.

Some Things Are Dumb

I’m missing you again and that’s dumb of me,

Cause you never would’ve been good for me,

Even if you took it all back like you said you could,

Even if you never said a thing at all.

 

Your hands were soft, and your mouth was rough,

It was just like you to try and toughen me up,

Well get out. Hows that for tough?

Well get out. I never liked you much.

 

You walk around like you never get down,

But the truth is that you never get up.

Darling smile it off, try and shrug it off,

And surely its stupid if it won’t.

 

I’m missing you again and that’s dumb of me,

Cause you never would’ve been good for me,

Even if you took it all back like you said you could,

Even if you never said a thing at all.

 

When you write in your diary, don’t forget not to mention me,

I won’t forget not to think of you in bed.

Wash your hands, and clean the sheets,

Pretending that you’re almost too good.

 

I’m missing you again and that’s dumb of me,

Cause you never would’ve been good for me,

Even if you took it all back like you said you could,

Even if you never said a thing at all.

 

I’m missing you again and that’s dumb of me,

Cause you never would’ve been good for me,

Even if you took it all back like you said you could,

Even if you never said a thing at all.

Not One

I won’t write not one more verse,

Pretending I didn’t know you hurt,

Now it might all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

I won’t write not one more word,

When I know how much you hurt,

Now this might be all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

 

It’s too quiet in this house,

Your ghost lingers, I taste you in my mouth.

Like a filter of my oxygen.

Now your under a thick blanket of snow,

Winter was always your favorite, I know,

In your memories I get haunted.

 

I won’t write not one more verse,

Pretending I didn’t know you hurt,

Now it might all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

I won’t write not one more word,

When I know how much you hurt,

Now this might be all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

 

I think someday you’ll call,

And I won’t feel bad anymore,

Then I remember where you went.

I sing up to the stars,

Hoping you’ll sing along,

Then I remember how your song went.

 

I won’t write not one more verse,

Pretending I didn’t know you hurt,

Now it might all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

I won’t write not one more word,

When I know how much you hurt,

Now this might be all my fault,

It might’ve been all along.

Yesterday

Leave your lovers at the door,

Here we’re lonely.

Leave the bodies on the floor,

Dont mind the mess, I’m sorry.

Save excuses for the deaf,

We know why you came.

Keep moving to the door to your left,

It’s a place where you can forget his name.

 

Bruising fades, from your face,

But shadows stay.

A waste of energy to try and get back to

Yesterday.

 

See where they keep the hard drugs,

For the bad cases just like yours.

See how they keep them locked up,

White labels, clear jars and the grey decor.

Please don’t waste your breath,

Oxygen isn’t well supplied here,

It’s all you can do to avoid your questions,

Forget what made you face these fears.

 

Bruising fades, from your face,

But shadows stay.

A waste of energy to try and get back to

Yesterday.

 

Like a scar that changes in the light,

You’ll break like dawn from this dark hour of the night.

 

Bruising fades, from your face,

But shadows stay.

A waste of energy to try and get back to

Yesterday.

Dance

I stare at you, wondering what’s on your tongue,

The words you wanna say or some other girls taste.

You stare back without ever meeting my eyes.

You think you know, how this story goes.

 

It’s an idea, it’s an idea,

To have us meet in the middle,

Dance around the subject til we all fall down.

It’s an idea, it’s an idea,

To have us put into that corner,

Dance around the subject til it all falls out.

 

I hear my phone, but I don’t answer when it’s you.

I can bet that you know when I want to.

This is so insane how we never move an inch.

But you get so far on your own.

 

It’s an idea, it’s an idea,

To have us meet in the middle,

Dance around the subject til we all fall down.

It’s an idea, it’s an idea,

To have us put into that corner,

Dance around the subject til it all falls out.
