Someday

I don’t hear your footsteps, slide across the floor.

I don’t make any sense, all I do is cry anymore.

You don’t help nothing, by being the way you are.

You don’t help anything by spending the night in your car.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

 

I can pretend I’m sleeping when you creep into our house.

It’s harder to pretend I’m breathing, when I know you’re somewhere out.

You don’t help nothing by being the way you are,

But don’t you change anything, perfect is just a distant star.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

 

We’re not so young now, but we can still play games.

We’re not so young now, but let us still play games.

 

Cause everyone says they wanna get away,

But nobody knows just where to go,

All these problems get in the way,

Sometimes you get given more than you can hold.

I got a plan for something someday,

We’re already on the road,

This is the time for making mistakes,

We’re young now but someday we’ll be old.

Lock and Key

There’s a time and a place,

To say what’s on your mind,

And right now, I hope you’re ready to speak.

There’s a right and a wrong way,

To go every distance,

Only you would rather follow than lead.

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

 

There’s a turn and a twist,

And a bump in the road,

But I am gonna get where I’m going.

There’s a door and a way,

I can fight my way out,

I know you’re just a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

 

There’s a wish and a star,

Kind of feeling tonight,

Like a fish hooked on a baited line.

There’s a snake and a fool,

In front of the room now,

Dancing cause he venomously lied.

 

It was sad, it was lonely, the biggest mistake.

But you only had fun cause it was part of the chase…

 

You said you wanted to stay,

But it was a lie.

Now it’s getting late,

And I’m wasting your time,

I have the lock and you lost the key,

You think it’s all over now,

So say you’re sorry and leave.

Civil War

All you want to do is breathe and sleep,

I can’t even hear your heart beat anymore.

But I’ve seen this sob story somewhere,

It’s like I’ve read it on the walls of my own tomb.

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

 

All I wanted to do was just sleep one more week,

I didn’t wanna hear my heart beat anymore,

I knew I’d seen this sob story somewhere,

I had read it on the ones of my tomb,

So I’m no judge, I’m no wedge,

In the door to your outsides,

The door to insides.

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

 

Why did they stop me?

Who were they to stop me?

Stop the scissors, stop the civil wars,

Stop the sleepless nights,

Stop confusing me,

Who am I to stop you?

 

If you wanted to go and be sad,

They should’ve let you

Who am I to stop you?

Who am I to stop you,

To stop the whispers, stop the nightmares,

Who am i to help you? to confuse you?

If you wanted to stay and be sad,

They should’ve let you.

Why didn’t they let you?

I can’t just let you.

You can’t stay here and be sad,

Cause they didn’t let me.

Oh, who were they to stop me?

Who am I to stop you?

Do This To Me

My eyes tear with confusion

It’s easier to blame you for them

You make me think too hard now

To let you crawl under my skin, woah oh.

 

Everytime you say hello,

Everytime you say goodbye,

I make a million mistakes in between.

 

Second guessing, just pretending,

This is me, this what you wanted to see.

Second guessing, still obsessing,

It’s terrible that you do this to me.

Instead

It’s nice to see you smiling, if it’s only when it’s raining,

Sometimes it’s hard to see you cry.

You whine about the friends you have,

And the people who just don’t like you,

It’s hard to tell what side I’m on sometimes.

Cause every friend you make is just another hangman,

And I can’t cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.

 

It’s nice to see you on my side, if it’s only when it’s raining.

Sometimes it’s hard to you see not try.

I tell you all these stupid things,

But sometimes you don’t hear.

Sometimes it’s hard to see you lose sight.

Cause every friend you make is just another hangman,

And I can’t cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.

 

She’ll only break her promises,

And stab you with thorns on her roses.

I may not be much to look at,

But at least I’m not much to fear.

At least I’m not much to please.

At least I’m not her, at least I’m not her.

Cause every girl you meet is just another hangman,

And I can’t try to cover all your debts to society.

 

Take me in stead,

Instead of all their wants,

Take me instead,

Instead of all their stupid thoughts.

Take me instead,

Take me instead of her,

Take me instead.

Kill Me

Sometimes I get sad and lonely,

Sometimes I can cry.

I know that I’m still a baby.

So someone tell me why?

You can look down on me,

And say youth is wasted on the young,

But I’m just waiting til I die,

If this is all I can expect from my life…

If this is paradise, then please no one show me hell.

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

If these are the best years of my life, then kill me now.

If this is paradise.

 

Sometimes I watch you fake it,

And sometimes I haveta say goodbye.

I’d rather be lonely any day, babe,

Than meet you in a mask of faded light.

You can look down on me,

And say my youth is wasted while I’m young,

But I’m just waiting til I die,

If this is all I can expect from my life…

If this is paradise, then please no one show me hell.

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

If these are the best years of my life, then kill me now.

If this is paradise.

 

Oh, paradise.

Let me close my eyes,

Cause in your faded light,

In your faded light,

I can’t see any reason why

You can look down on me,

And say my youth is wasted while I’m young,

But I’m just waiting til I die,

If this is all I can expect from my life…

If this is paradise, then please no one show me hell.

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

If these are the best years of my life, then kill me now.

If this is paradise.

If these are the best years of my life, then kill me now.

With friends like you, who needs enemies?

Hearts Unscarred

I would

Kiss you

In my car

To this song

I would

Kiss you

In my car

To this song

Hearts unscarred,

Cause when we’d get to the end,

We’d both understand what it meant.

I would

Lead you

Up my stairs

To this song

I would

Lead you

Up my stairs

To this song

Hearts unscarred,

Cause when we’d get to the top,

We’d both understand what it meant.

We’d both understand, we’d both understand.

I would, kiss you.

I would, kiss you.

Hearts unscarred…

Step On

You think you’re ordinary

She thinks she’s something else.

You think you’re nobody,

He thinks he’s god’s gift to the world.

 

What gives them say?

Who said it was okay

For them,

To step on you,

Step on you,

Don’t let them step on you.

Step on you,

Just step on.

 

You think you’re ordinary,

She thinks she’s gonna be somebody,

You think you’re average in everything,

He thinks he’s the standard around here.

 

What gives them say?

Who said it was okay

For them,

To step on you,

Step on you,

Don’t let them step on you.

Step on you,

Just step on.
