I think you're scared to death, you don't know what to say
Said we've been here before let's go our separate ways
I don't know where I'm going, I just need to get out
Don't stand in my way
And you hold me down because you know I'll stay
But you keep fucking around, someday I'll walk away
I just need to know should I go or stay
Tell me now
Tell me how we've fallen down
Cuz I just wanna get on my feet
Tell me how you still want me around
So I won't be the last to know this time
And you only think you know me all too well
And those things you say, you know they hurt like hell
I hate how you see right through me
Don't you, darling
And every time we talk it's like a fire starts
Then you douse it out and it burns my heart
I just need to know right where you stand
Tell me now
Flamethrower
Late nights, talking about friends
And all the places that we've been
And all the people in between
All night, laughing til we can't
Knowing it's something they'll never have
Cuz that's not where their heart is
I want to say thank you
I got out and I'm on my own
Don't know why I waited so long
To start over
And if they could see me now
I wonder if they would be as proud
As when they were in disbelief
And why would you leave me out to dry?
And why won't you spare me like I've spared you?
Late nights, talking about friends
And all the family we chose to extend into our hearts
U & I
If I was older, I'd know I've got a lot to lose
If I was younger I'd want to have my cake and eat it too
But I'm not either, I don't know what I've got to prove
You and I.
I'd like to take you to the bottom of the sea
We'd find those creatures that they all deemed were make-believe
Like the king and queen for monsters of the deep
You and I.
Oh, I don't know what you've been thinking
You're the one thing on my mind
I know that I'll see you later
Everythimg I close my eyes
You and I.
They say you're out of sight and then you're out of mind
I love you, darling, but right now is not our time
I know that someday you will try to press rewind
On you and I.
Oh, I don't know what you've been thinking
You're the last thing on my mind.
I've been thinking of someone lately
It's not you for the very first time
You and I.
First Aid Kit
They wanna know what I'm thinking
Cuz they're scared from what I've said
I can't let them win now
Can't let them in my head
They don't know where I'm going
Only know where I've been
They're so quick to judge me
They say I'm better off dead
Oh no! They're coming!
Oh no! I see them!
Hey now...get going!
They're here!
They've left nothing for me
They destroyed all that I loved
If you think you can take it
Wish you the best of luck
GFY
Rebuild the walls that you tore down
Tell me you don't need me now
That's not what your eyes say
Trudging through your bitter words
They weigh me down and left me cursed
To see you in my dreams
Oh, but I've got something left to say
Go fuck yourself, that's all that you're good for
Lie to her and tell her that you love her
Cuz I know you don't know what love is
I hope you think of me when she leaves you feeling empty
Remember that noone can make you feel like I do
Cuz I'm one of a kind
This is goodbye for the very last time
I learned a lot about the world
Like how to fight, how much trust to disburse
Because you robbed it from me
I've got hope for tomorrow
Got no time to wallow in my sorrows
Cuz you're not worth my time
But I've got something left to say
Chainsaw
There's something missing, since we depart now
I'm stuck here wishing we hadn't dropped the ball
Now, they say, there's nothing I can do but wait
The image burning that's stuck in my mind
Is how your eyes sparkle when that cell phone lights your eyes
And I'd kill to be the name on the other side
I hope you're doing well...
The silence drills a hole in my mind
And this awkward tension has raised up too high
Now I question everything you've said
I know there's others who'd treat me just fine
But your love was tainted, and tasted good with mine
Didn't you think it would ever be this good?
Oh, I hope you're doing well
I want to tell you how happy I've become
But I know you'll never buy it, my stories always suck
Someday I will get over it, but right now you're too perfect to me
11:11 can't come soon enough
So I can waste my minute wishing for another us
But I don't think that I believe in fairy tales
So I'll start dabbing the corners of my eyes
Cuz it's not attractive at all when I cry
So I'll learn to force a smile in my spare time
Just so you think I'm doing well
Shotgun Shell
If you see the sun, will you tell her that I said hello?
Please don't tell anyone, cuz I don't want anybody to know
So you swallowed your pride, is that why it's so hard to stand by?
If you're not afraid to die, then why act so fucking gun shy?
And you can follow me down, but I'm not sure how far down we'll go
And I can't hear a sound cuz all my thoughts are oh, so lethal
And if you knew me well, then you'd know to shut your mouth
My thoughts go in for the kill, like a shark attack, so weak-willed
