- Actors
Safe little house, safe little friends,
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up.
(oh shit)
Safe in your room,
Safe as a tomb,
Sleep in a coffin made of glass.
It takes a big facade to hide your cries?
- Afterglow
Step outside in the midnight rain
King of the queen of the streets again
Got young love running through our veins
And it keeps us numb like novacaine
Alright, we can go all night
'Cause we got our whole lot of fight in us
And I see a long road that we gotta follow
- Bad Enough for You
No, I won’t call you baby.
I won’t buy you daisies, cause that don’t work.
And I know, how to get you crazy,
How to make you want me, so bad it hurts.
I wanna be good, good, good to you
But that’s not, not, not your type.
So I’m gonna be bad for you tonight, tonight, tonight.
- Basement Noise
We used to be all hypothetical
A fever dream, can't get hysterical
Found a space and time in the Holocene
Make believe, make believe yeah
Cut our teeth chasing the weekend
Capsize and fall in the deep end
Outta line, don't mind the pretense now
How were we supposed to know
- Birthday
I got a lot of things on my mind right now
A million ways to think about you
I can't say I expected anything different
'Cause the way you complicate me's simple, yeah
Ba da ba da ba, ba da ba da ba
She didn't stutter, my chest flutters
Cardiac attack in the cradle of the summer
Ba da ba da ba, ba da ba da ba
- Bonus Tracks
1. Do You Want Me (Dead)
2. I Feel Like Dancin’
3. Forget About It
4. Guts
- Break Out
Luck loves me not tonight, I'm running out...
This four leaf clover's all but useless now.
I've got four wheels that say I'm not alone tonight,
I'm always looking for a joy ride through the
Brightest part of this town.
Break out, break out,
As we escape through the windows,
- Break Your Little Heart
Wide awake, my mistake
So predictable
You were fake, I was great
Nothing personal
I'm walking
Who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
- Break Your Little Heart.....я разобью твое маленькое сердце....
Wide awake, my mistake - so predictable
You were fake, I was great, nothing personal
I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face, but the chase ain't worth the prize
- Chemistry
In the heat of the summer
I remember the ways you looked at me
Said you wish I was older
You had a thing for 1983
I was born a believer
I believe in the way you call to me
Like a dance-hall choir
Singing out in broken revelry
- Coffee Shop Soundtrack
Should I write myself out of the history books,
and mark a place in time for every chance you took,
Don't get me wrong I know you've got your life in place -
I've yet to take the hint,
Some day
I'm sure I'll get the picture,
and stop waiting up...
- Come One, Come All
Come one, come all you're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
'Cause there's a mile gone for every minute passed
When I'm stuck in this town
I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ
The traffic in this town is just as bad as it is in L.A.
So go on and lock me up
You better throw away that key
- Come One,Come All
Come one, come all
You're just in time
To witness my first breakdown
Cause there's a mile gone
For every minute passed
When I'm stuck in this town
I've got a bone to pick with you, Mr. DJ
The traffic and the sound
- Damned If I Do Ya
I fought it for a long time now
While drowning in a river of denial
I washed up, fixed up, picked up
All my broken things
'Cause you left me
Police tape, chalk line
Tequila shots
- Dancing With A Wolf
Who's gonna listen when you run out of lies?
Who's gonna hear you, when your words seem worthless?
Who's gonna save you when you're out of time?
And who's gonna want you, when you're on your knees, begging:
"Oh, please take me at my word, I'm desperate
I swear, I never meant to hurt no one, no
Oh, please stay for what it's worth, I'm desperate"
- Dark Side Of Your Room
[Verse 1]
This moment feels like an echo
We've done this dance a thousand times
You say that I need a refill
And twist me up til we blur the lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
- Daydream Away
I wish you could see your face right now,
‘Cause you’re grinning like a fool.
And we’re sitting on your kitchen floor,
On a Tuesday afternoon.
It does matter when we get back,
To doing what we do
‘Cause right now could last forever,
Just as long as I’m with you.
- Dear Maria, Count Me In
I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
When the lights go off
I wanna watch the way you
- Dear Mariya, Count Me In
I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
When the lights go off
I wanna watch the way you
- Dirty Laundry
I don't believe in saints,
They never make mistakes,
I know it's not my place,
Who am I to tell you that you need to change?
Her closet’s such a mess
Filled up with all the skeletons she's kept,
Nobody's perfect I confess,
- dont you go
Settle back now and raise a toast
To the young ones, growing old
All the green lights, long nights
Drinking 'til I made out with you
Just sit back, enjoy the show
It's the weekend, no place to go
You're the cherry, I'm a cigarette
- Everything Is Fine
Uh uh (oh oh)
Uh uh
Uh uh
Uh uh
I think the whole world's crazy
I don't want to leave my bedroom
There's a devil on my shoulder
And a monster in the television
- Fool's Holiday
I know I've been a real bad guy,
My name's made the list more than a few times
You could light up a candle for every mistake that I've made
And I'd follow them home with you
On a pity parade
For years and years I pushed you aside
But never again
- For Baltimore
Mayday situation overload
I'm restless, obsessed with your future
And all my worries they don't bother you
Collected, you render me useless
But I carry on
Right now, I think that you think that I'm
Half drunk, searching for something of
- Forget About It
You are a handful or roses,
Thorns in a cheap bouquet.
It’s true, I’m a walking disaster,
They told you to stay away.
It seems like I’m making a deal with the devil,
Who’s whispering softly to me.
- get down on your
ve been played a fool
Four, three, two many times
And when did lust for you
Become an organised crime?
I tried to keep you honest babe
But I was just a pawn you played
The part so well it hurts to know
- Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me
1.
I've been played a fool
Four,Three,Too many times end
When Did lust for you
Become an organized crime?
I try to keep you honest, babe
But I was just a pawn,you played
The part so well it hurts to know you're gone
- Good Times
Good Times"
On a fault line late night
Underneath the stars we came alive
And singing to the sky just felt right
I won't forget the good times
While the punks started picking fights
- Guts
Shooting for the stars
Desperately reaching for something in the dark
Pictures of memories buried in my heart.
Lay awake and dream of the endless possibilities,
Catch my breathe and go for it.
Take a part of everything that's holding me down
Make a point to pick a new direction, to make a new connection.
- Hello Brooklyn
This city is so pretty
Under moonlit skies we'll be hanging like a cigarette
So stunning start runnin'
Tonight's like a knife would you cut me with your kiss?
I believe their lips you're unbelievable
Can't miss this chance to take you
And here's my invitation
- Hello, Brooklyn
This city, so pretty
Under the moonlit skies, we'll be hanging like a cigarette
So stunning, start running
Tonight's like a knife, would you cut me with your kiss?
I believe, red lips, you're unbelievable
Can't miss this chance to take you out, here's my invitation
Hello Brooklyn, hey LA
- Hit The Lights
I'm sitting here wishing for something that's missing
I'm waiting for you to tell me
that time keeps on passing
I'm hoping, I'm asking
to stand by your side
at least for tonight
let's follow through with this reckless dream
- Holly
When you gonna give it up?
You're giving me such a rush
Come on, Holly
Would you turn me on? [x2]
You are the taste of something sweet
And I'm tangled in the sheets
You left a mark, dragged down my back
- Hometown Heroes, National Nobodies
They've had chances to make this big city seem so small,
Under stage lights, in rooms packed from window to wall,
Like the sound of a smile, or the distance of song,
only measured in time as the kids sing along.
They are the ones who make a difference,
get these people on their feet.
- How The Story Ends
all the time you spent on me, the good times and the misery
do you wanna, do you wanna
walk this road that no one sees, behind closed doors no make believe
do you wanna,do you wanna
wanna take some time to talk it out or is this how its gonna be
you say hello, goodbye, this time im leaving
i say okay so long, i dont believe this change of plans is how the story ends
- I am still painting flowers for you
Strange maze, what is this place?
I hear voices over my shoulder,
Nothing's making sense at all.
Wonder, why do we race?
When everyday we're runnin' in circles,
Such a funny way to fall.
Tried to open up my eyes,
I'm hopin' for a chance to make it alright.
- I Can't Do The One-Two Step
Front page of the magazine said,
'Don't believe a word you read, I'm just telling lies - Just telling lies...'
Fall short this time of goals you rose to meet that night,
Don't worry yourselves - worry yourselves,
We can carry ourselves - carry ourselves..
How does it feel to wake up knowing that you're playing on something
that could have been nothing but a sad, sad song,
- I Feel Like Dancin
Shawty said she wants to run away
Says I look like a boy she used to date
Took me by the hand and pulled me to the stairs (Not interested, girl)
Put her tongue all up in my ear (Gross)
Almost made me spill my beer (Oh s**t!)
She's up and ready to go but I don't care (Pssh, whatever)
Cause I'm in the zone,
- I Feel Like Dancin'
Shorty said she wants to run away
Says I look like a boy she used to date
Took me by the hand and pulled me to the stairs
(Not interested, girl)
Put her tongue all up in my ear (gross)
Almost made me spill my beer (oh shit)
She's up and ready to go but I don't care
(Pssh, whatever)
- I Feel Like Dancing
Shorty(?) said she wants to run away,
says I look like a boy she used to date (Ha!).
Took me by the hand and pulled me to the stairs,
(I’m NOT interested, girl).
Put her tongue all up in my ear, (Gross!)
Almost made me spill my beer, (Oh Shit!)
She’s up and ready to go, but I don’t care.
- If These Sheets Were States
I’m lost in empty pillow talk again
I’m lost in empty pillow talk again
This bed’s an island made of feather down, and I’m stuck here alone
With little else but memories of you, on memory foam
Visions of a brighter love, I’d kill for one more day
To pool my thoughts, and find the words to say
- Jasey Rae
Lights out,
I still hear the rain,
These images that fill my head,
Now keep my fingers from making mistakes,
Tell my voice what it takes,
To speak up,
Speak up,
and keep my conscience clean when I wake.
- Just The Way I'm Not
Can I pick you up for,
Another night on the new shore?
Will you even want to see my face again?
I’m a waste of chances, full of bad romances,
Your favourite enemy and your most hated friend.
When it hurts, it hurts,
Wonder if it’s worth it.
- Keep The Change, You Filthy Animal
Are you having trouble finding sleep at night?
Or does your lack of conscience tell you everything's alright
I trust your good intentions that you're watching over friend
You must think that I’m crazy if I don’t see through that plan
So tell me what your best friend knows that I don’t know
Tell me why you talk me down wherever you go
You’re a saint, you're a queen
- Kids In The Dark
"Kids In The Dark"
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
Here we are,
At the end of the road - a road that's quietly caving in,
Come too far to pretend that we don't - we don't miss where we started,
- Kids In Thе Dаrk
Here we are at the end of the road
A road that’s quietly caving in
Come too far to pretend that we don’t
We don’t miss where we started
Looking back, I see a setting sun
And watch my shadow fade into the floor
I am left standing on the edge
Wondering how we got this far
- Last Flight Home
shut your mouth and listen closely,
because this silence isn't easy
so i'll break it even harder than before
because i'm 16 going on the end of my days,
and if words aren't going to cut than i'll find another way.
because i'm leaving what i know behind,
- Last Young Renegade
Just a couple kids on a summer street
Chasing around to a flicker beat
Making mistakes that were made for us
We brushed them off like paper cuts
You said you're sick and tired of it, it
But I need you morning, night, and day
I miss you every single way-ay-ay
We said forever but forever wouldn't wait for us
- Let It Roll
Tried to write a letter
To tell you how I feel
But all I kept on writing
Was slipping on the tears from the day
When I was young and brave
Now all these hotel lobbies are filled with what's to me
Lonely midnight drivers
Drifting out to sea
- Light The Way
The fire burns tonight
Lighting up the darkest corners of my mind
So take a look inside
And let these walls come crashing down
Here I stand pouring my heart onto your floor
So lonely now
I'm sleepless and I'm down
- Lost In Stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She works for the weekend
Mixtape of her favorite bands
Tearin' up the radio
Lost in the stereo's sound
- Lullabies
Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye -
It could be for the last time and it's not right.
"Don't let yourself get in over your head," he said.
Alone and far from home I'll find you...
- Memories that Fade Like Photographs
I said I'd never forget your face
vaulted away inside my head
and memories never seem to fade
you were the best part of my life:my last regret
Now I've walked this line a thousand times before
it hurts too much to bear
FOR YOU
- Merry Christmas Kiss My Ass
They told me I was lucky
To have my chance with you
Now last years summer romance
Is this year’s winter blues
I treated you so nicely,
To jewellery and champagne,
But you left me empty handed, yeah,
You left me feeling plain
- Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass
They told me I was lucky
To have my chance with you
Now last year's summer romance
Is this year's winter blues
I treated you so nicely
To jewelry and champagne
But you left me empty handed, yeah
You left me feeling plain
- Missing You
I heard that you've been
Self-medicating in the quiet of your room,
Your sweet, suburban tomb.
And if you need a friend,
I'll help you stitch up your wounds.
I heard that you've been
Having some trouble finding your place in the world.
- My Only One
Paint yourself a picture, something perfectly obscure
To hide away the messes behind your manicure
And all of my obsessing to find the perfect words
Sick of second guessing, I didn't mean to make you hurt
Didn't mean to make you hurt, hurt, hurt
What do you say when your heart's not in it, your heart's not in it?
What do you do when you just don't get it, you just don't get it?
- My Paradise
Busted plans and cigarettes
Nights and days I won't forget
Sleeping on my best friends floor
With everything to ask for
Clear skies and sing-a-longs
I ask myself what could go wrong
A thousand times I would go back
You only have to ask
- Nice2KnoU
We always say that we'll keep in touch
Nobody does, but it don't matter much
One last call at the corner store
The night's on ice if we don't score
[Pre-Chorus]
One more time for second chances
We just want to do some damage
- No Idea
I was dreaming we were running from a city burning,
Down, down, down.
Made a break, a new escape, and let the world crash,
Down, down, down.
Now there’s a piece of me,
Tells me I shouldn’t leave,
Every time I see your face.
- Oh, Calamity
When I was younger I was certain,
that I'd be fine without a queen,
just a king inside his castle,
with an ocean in between,
Now all I do is sit,
and count the miles from you to me,
Oh, Calamity...
- Outlines
I half remembered half way across the world,
Trying to move from my second home,
The shadow of a ghost in an old hall
…?
- Paint You Wings
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
Heavy the head that bears the crown
Of my mistaken
Apathy for sympathy
I was never good enough to be
Anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
- Painting Flowers
Strange maze, what is this place?
I hear voices over my shoulders.
Nothing's making sense at all.
Wonder, why do we race?
And every day we're running in circles.
Such a funny way to fall.
Try to open up my eyes
I'm hopin' for the chance to make it alright.
- Poppin' Champagne
You've got me poppin' champagne
I'm at it again
Caught up in the moment
But not in the right way
I'm falling in between
Tearing up at the seams
We're just aiming to please
And aesthetics don't hurt one bit
- Remembering Sunday
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
- Return The Favor
Oh no, look what you've done
You left me the victim of a hit-and-run
Picked up and let down
You were never as you led on
You said, "Just friends and no strings"
But that leaves loose ends for all things
Get back to old days and old flames
- Runaways
Safe little house
Safe little friends
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves
That eat you up (aww shit)
Safe in your room
Safe as a tomb
Sleep in a coffin made of glass
- Running From Lions
Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage,
a small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks;
and when things get too hot, you've got me to blame for,
every fire that breaks out in every lover's name, {so...}
Don't forget, we've got unfinished business,
stories yet to unfold,
tales that must be retold,
- Satellite
Wishing on a star that's just a satellite
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights
Growing up with eyes glued shut
Wishing on a star that's just a satellite
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights
Na-na na na-na na
- Sick Little Games
Oh my God, I'm such a terrible mess
I'm turned on by the tabloids
You would never have guessed
That I'm a sucker for their gossip
Man, I take it too far
I bottle up my Hollywood
And watch 'em name their kids after cars
- Six Feet Under The Stars
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sold me out
But our footprints washed away from the docks downtown
It's been getting late for days
And I think myself deserving of a little time off
We can kick it hang for hours
And just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell
- So Long Soldier
Back in 95
A little boy from just outside of London
Took a fated trip across the ocean
And little did he know
That he would find
His voice in verse and chorus
Making wishes on his broken stereo
Can't shake that noise from his bones
- So Long, And Thanks For All The Booze
Pick yourself up off the ground
You’re sure as hell to good
To let them hold you down
Waste of chances
Waste of time
(You gotta let me be me)
- Somewhere in Neverland
Say goodbye to the halls and the classes
Say hello to a job and the taxes
The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine
Tell me how you feel over and done with
Like your life is a map with no compass to guide,
At the bar drinkin’ way too much
We sing along to Forever Young
- Stay Awake
call it a cope
lets start splitting hairs
i'm drinking too much i'm on my way to drag it out
go to sleep with the pressure of everyone
watching and waiting are yours for the taking
but i still have my doubts
i said before you ask which way to go
- Stella
3pm On my feet and staggering
Through misplaced words and a sinking feeling
I got carried away
Sick, Sick of sleeping on the floor
Another night another score
I'm jaded, bottles breaking
[Chorus]
- Stella.
3 p.m on my feet and staggering
Through misplaced words and a sinking feeling
I got carried away
Sick, sick of sleeping on the floor
Another night, another score
I'm jaded
Bottles breaking
- Sticks, Stones, And Techno
You spin your words like a record in motion,
step into the party, step out a commotion,
with stars in your eyes,
and with fire at your fingertips,
burn down this city and everyone in it,
singing, "Oh, we are the dancers!"
Show me the skyline and I'll show you decadence,
- Take Cover
This is a cry out
To the ones in the gutter
To the sorry unfaithful
We lonely few
We band with others
We stand apart
In a trial by fire
We'll make it through
- Thanks to You
Thanks to you
Thanks to you,
I’m moving on
Chasing out my skeletons
And the troubles they have caused.
And all thanks to you, I’m turning over
The pages in this book of revelations
- That Girl
What am I supposed to do oh, oh,
When she's so damn cold like twenty below.
That girl, that girl she's such a bitch,
But I tell myself I can handle it.
No I don't frequent the LBC
‘Cause I'm a bit too pale to run that scene.
The SoCal sun has grown on me and that girl, that girl.
- The Beach
You're a long walk from my street
And I'm dying in this summer heat
I hope like hell you're waiting, waiting
Everybody's living like they're crazy in love
I'm a dizzy mess
And everything is so above me
From the formal kind of life I lead today
- The Edge Of Tonight
It's a long way home,
When you're on your own,
And your only friends are the traffic lights,
Speaking in morse code,
(Yea) The road is long,
And I am tired,
But with you on my horizon,
I will drive until it all breaks down
- The Girl's A Straight Up Hustler
Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets,
coloring my senses cherry red; at least for this week...
Kisses under starry night skies, talked about in song,
we play along, so bitter sweet by our design.
I'm sick and tired of writing songs about you,
This is it, this is the end...
Take off your makeup and put down the camera,
- The Girl's a Straight-Up Hustler
Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets,
coloring my senses cherry red; at least for this week...
Kisses under starry night skies, talked about in song,
we play along, so bitter sweet by our design.
I'm sick and tired of writing songs about you,
This is it, this is the end...
Take off your makeup and put down the camera,
- The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver
Stop fucking around with my emotions,
I like you better when you're numb.
I'm sick and tired of false devotion,
Devote yourself to moving on.
Or suck it up, and let it go.
But you're always out to get me.
- The Party Scene
Hey, kid, you've got, a lot of potential
but I think its time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound;
Now you're everything that we've come to love,
you taught us to move, so we'll show it off,
just drop us the beat...
Here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive;
to all the nights that we forgot to get back home.
- The Reckless And The Brave
Long live the reckless and the brave,
I don’t think I wanna be saved,
My song has not been sung.
So long live us.
Looking out at a town called suburbia
Everybody’s just fighting to fit it
Little rats, running mazes, having babies
- Therapy
My ship went down in a sea of sound
When I woke up alone I had everything
A hand full of moments I wish I could change
And a tongue like a nightmare that cut like a blade
In a city of fools I was careful and cool
But they tore me apart like a hurricane
A handful of moments I wish I could change
- This Is How We Do
Show us off to all your friends
We're the trophy boys
From here to with and when
We break and break your dreams up
Keeping us a secret
We're the back pocket believers
We're the locals who went poster
Call it treason while you can
- Timebomb
Time Bomb
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold
Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control
Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
Two kids, no consequences
- To Live and Let Go
Rush of the past
A quietly crash
And the tables turn
You're beautiful strange
Defiantly brash
Be careful now
Kid, you're a cut above
- Too Much
I admit, I miss seeing your face babe, (seeing your face babe)
And being alone is starting to take its toll, (toll)
I'm cold and it's getting old, (getting old)
I admit, (I admit) I should have made some changes. (changes)
We were so smothered in love,
We didn't have a chance to come up for air (no fair)
What a waste, where did the time go?
- Toxic Valentine
She's got a target painted on her back
And keeps a list of the qualities a good girl lacks
She bites her lip and tips her bottle
I take a drink cause the truth is hard to swallow
Sex and white lies
Handcuffs and alibies
She lays her halo on her pillow where she sleeps
- Trouble Is...
Feel you under my skin
Middle of the night, wonder if you feel it too
Echoing in my head
Color me with doubt, so much that we didn't see through
Knew we had a good thing
Didn't know just how much I would miss you
Sick of doing nothing
Even now you're gone, I know that I need you
- True Colors
You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small
- Umbrella
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
- Under A Paper Moon
Baby, don't yell,
You're tearing a hole right through the walls
of everything we used to know,
I'm building a place, something amazing,
Just for the sake of saving us
From under the sun,
Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run,
We're rolling the dice on whatever's left,
- Vegas
Tonight, we lie awake
Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives?
One more long night
Another seven days
- Wake Up, Sunshine
Alive in the age of outrage and outrageous behavior
To say it's a call-it-on
Are you livin' well in a livin' hell?
So smile for the cameras and say that your love
Ain't as tame as the ones you're shit talkin'
Are you livin' well?
Are you livin' well?
Wake up, sunshine
- Walls
Hey there it's good to see you again,
It never felt right calling this just friends,
I'm happy if your happy with yourself,
Take off your shirt your shoes,
Those skinny jeans I bought for you,
We're diving in there's nothing left to lose,
I'm gonna break down these walls I built around myself,
- We All Fall Down
Grab my wrists and pull away
wake me up in time to hear you say
I can't stay here no more
Don't go please stay
I'll beg for one last day
There's so much more I have to learn from you
I swear I'll miss you when you're gone
- Weightless
Manage me, I'm a mess
Turn a page, I'm a book
Half unread
I wanna be laughed at
Laughed with, just because
I wanna feel weightless
