Where are we
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to form
Crop circles in the carpet...
Sinking, feeling
Spin me around again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets
A mass of people would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek...
Trains and sewing machines
All those years...
They were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this still life...
Hide and seek...
Trains and sewing machines (You won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears
They were here first
Mmm what did you say? That you only meant well? Of course you did
Mmm what did you say? Mmm that it's all for the best? Of course it is
Mmm what did you say? That it's just what we needed? And you decided this
Mmm what did you say?
What did she say?
Ransom notes came falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, oh no you don't care a bit
Ransom notes came falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, oh no you don't care a bit
Hands Down- Dashboard Confessional
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts, they race from self-control
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours, to fill or burst
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
Whichever you prefer
The words are hushed, let's not get busted
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
Safe in here from all the stupid questions
"Hey, did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close
They can't hear, so we can get some
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
My heart is yours, to fill or burst
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry
Whichever you prefer
Hands down, this is the best day I can ever remember
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair
That you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
And this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
So I jumped it and I let you in
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
And you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it
That you meant it, that you meant it
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
(I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time... take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay!
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay!
(Trust Me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-*BLEEP....ing*-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
STORY TIME!
Most songs I post have a special significant meaning. This one got me through a hard break-up. If you want to know about it, just ask.
To see you when I wake up, is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a Three-fold utopian dream
You do something to me
That I can't explain
So would I be out of line, If I said
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on, the empty pillow next to mine
You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
I know I'll see you again
Whether far or soon
But I need you to know, that I care
And I miss you
Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.
With these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up.
Not enough or way too much. (and on and on and on...)
How are you when I'm gone?
And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
Spare me just three last words.
"I love you" is all she heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.
Spare me just three last words.

(YOU...KILL...ME...WELL)
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
My final breath is gone
So I can fall asleep tonight
And I can't make it on my own.

(YOU...KILL...ME...WELL)
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
Believe the news, I'm gone for good.
Call off the search, no one will know that I'm down here
Believe the note I left for you
You can't turn back the clocks, you can't pull me up from here, so don't try
I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.
I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.
Make time slower, give me longer.
It's too late for me, no one will know that I'm down here.
And believe your dreams of me sinking
so far, below, you can't pull me up from here so don't try.
In a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you.

Leave it up to me. To burden you again.
This ones not your fault. Please forgive me.
Leave it up to me (leave it up to me). To burden you again (To burden you again).
This ones not your fault. So forget, so forget, so forget me.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Just let me go.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Just let me go.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
Don't think back, don't think back of me at all.
I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, thinking back I forgot to tell you this

and I would still die for you
I would still die for you
and I would still die for you
I would still die for you
and I would still die for you...
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm not wishing anymore
I'm not writing songs for you
I sleep better in the dark
I'm not doing this for you
This is because of you I don't believe
Tongue tied an institute of my relief
You're my, my reason to shame
(my reason to shame)
I'm not wishing anymore
I'm not writing songs for you
I sleep better in the dark
I'm not doing this for you
This is because of you I don't believe
Tongue tied an institute of my relief
One wish that this is over
You are all I waste today
(discarded worthless throw it away)
Will it tear you apart?
Will it?
Will it tear you apart?
When I turn and walk away
Abandon, Its not worth the effort
When Stalling means
Too ****ing scared to create
Abandon, its not worth the effort
When stalling and too scared
One wish that this is over
You are all I waste today
(discarded worthless throw it away)
Will it tear you apart?
Will it?
Will it tear you apart?
When I turn and walk away
I'm not holding onto this
I'm not wasting words on you
I sleep alone in spite of it
I'll do anything for you
This is because of you I feel relief
Tongue tied to investigate what I believe
You're my, my reason to blame (my reason to blame)
I'm not holding onto this
I'm not wasting words on you
I sleep alone in spite of it
I'll do anything for you
This is because of you I feel relief
Tongue tied to investigate what I believe
You're my, my reason to blame (my reason to blame)
Let me show you the way
It's a game that we play
Oh everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily
The way of your touch is always heavenly
And I love the way that you are lovin' me
You wrapped me up in the colour of your love
You must be an angel high from above in the game of the heart
You know I know that you are mine
Let me show you the way
It's a game that we play
Oh everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily
Are you gonna be there when I need someone
And will I be always just the only one
I don't wanna have just another heartbreak
So tell me is your love true or a fake in the game of the heart
You know I know that you are mine
Let me show you the way
It's a game that we play
Oh everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily
One kiss
One love
One word
One mouth with nothin' more
One life
One dream
Gonna save it save it for me
Let me show you the way
It's a game that we play
Oh everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily
(Show you the way)
Show you the way
Game that we play
Everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily
She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out, "A joke of a romantic," stuck to my tongue
Weighted down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" vs. "No one should ever feel like..."
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
(whispered part - Pete)
We're going into D-Minor
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance
This is the way they'd love if they
knew how misery loved me
You always fold just before you're found out.
Drink up it's last call, last resort, but only the first mistake
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
you've been saving for his mattress, love
Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance
This is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
you've been saving for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you
crawling into bed with me
You always had a way with words
In letters back and forth we'd send
Back when we were foolish kids
The world was only as big as a heart
And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
When everything, everything was fine
I wish everything was fine
We thought we had it figured out
And nothing can stop us now
I wish we were those foolish kids
We could go back and start again
We always knew this night would come
But I could never give you up
So just go on lying
'Cause we can just pretend
And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
when everything, everything was fine
I wish everything was fine
You always knew it was the right way
The right way to make a point in everything
I'm gonna make up for lost time
I'm gonna make up for this
I'm gonna wake up and rewind
And she walks just like I remember
Something's on her mind
And she walks just like I remember (just like I remember)
Like something's on her mind (something's on her mind)
And she said (and she said) that she would still remember
When everything was fine
