Альбом Every Avenue

We've been around on the other side of innocence
Now we're waking up to AM radio
I felt fingers but I couldn't keep from racking
Your body language said you knew that this would happen

I'm diggin a hole for the days of the cold
I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em
Fingerprints show on the walls of my home
Buried and turn off the radio, turn off the radio

I will always remember
Making out til the sun went down
Counting stars on the hood of the car
Catching my friends as they were falling down.

Rise and shine to a headache and a question
My keys are lost and my morals came up missing
Opportunities were open for the taking
I tried to leave but couldn't keep the floors from shaking

I'm diggin a hole for the days of the cold
I'll put them two feet deep so I can reach 'em if I need 'em
Fingerprints show on the walls of my home
Buried and turn off the radio, turn off the radio

I will always remember
Making out til the sun went down
Counting stars on the hood of the car
Catching my friends as they were falling down.

Take me back to the ocean
Right before we had to drive away
We made a promise when we said goodbye
Swore it wouldn't be the last time

This is where the summer ends.
No more clothes left dry in the sand.

It was good, no, it was amazing
Tell me that you won't,
Won't forget about me.

I will always remember
Making out til the sun went down
Counting stars on the hood of the car
Catching my friends as they were falling down.

Take me back to the ocean
Right before we had to drive away
We made a promise when we said goodbye
Swore it wouldn't be the last time

Swore it wouldn't be the last time, the last time

Biting my tongue just to get me by,
Sick of going back and forth with the cheap shots all night
Sink my teeth in a little bit deeper
The red on my teeth should be enough for you
Just one more, and more, it's never enough
To have me wrapped around your finger

I've got you turning blue
We can't put down our pride

When did we think that this would be easy?
We must have been out of our minds
We were holding so tight
It just slipped through our fingers
But we won't let go

Holding your breath just to pass the time
Don't fill an empty space with the same conversation
I feel your words right behind your kiss
The taste of your lips should be enough
But I just want more, and more
Is never enough to have you wrapped around my finger

You've got me turning blue
We can't put down our pride

When did we think that this would be easy?
We must have been out of our minds
We were holding so tight
It just slipped through our fingers
But we won't let go

Waiting for something to tell me
Things are getting better, are they getting better?
Don't put me down, if you're staring at the ground
Be sure to fall, we're sure to fall, we're sure to fall

You just want more, and more
It's never enough to have me wrapped around your finger.

I've got you turning blue
We can't put down our pride

When did we think that this would be easy?
We must have been out of our minds
We were holding so tight
It just slipped through our fingers
But we won't let go

Home for the weekend,
Looking for a good time;
Of all the numbers you end up calling mine.
Ready or not , I think I’ll give this a shot.
I should know better than to
Give her what she wants.
I picked her up and she was three-forths gone.
She passed out before we even got to talk.
All I want to know is:

Where were you when I needed you most?
Why did you leave me alone?
We gave up before we gave it a chance,
And I don’t understand.

Back to where we left off, baby.
“How you been and what’s been new with you lately?”
Just forget it, it’s the same old runaround.
You build me up just to let me down.
Down!

Where were you when I needed you most?
Why did you leave me alone?
We gave up before we gave it a chance,
And I don’t understand.

Just forget it, it’s the same old runaround,
Just forget it, just forget it

This might be my last chance
so maybe i should take it
i just hope your listening
to everything i'm sayin
i miss the long drives, the car rides
the bad fights, the good times.
the way you make me feel
will never leave my mind.

think of you later in my empty room
where i, i, will fall asleep alone
think of you later in my empty room
where i, i will fall asleep alone.

so quit your cryin
and wipe the tears from your eyes
cause this is see you later, i'm not into goodbyes
watch the brake lights as i leave the driveway
the long nights will stay beside me
no matter where i go

think of you later in my empty room
where i, i, will fall asleep alone.
think of you later in my empty room
where i, i, will fall asleep alone.

watch the brake lights as i leave the driveway
the long nights will stay beside me
no matter where i go

think of you later in my empty room
where i, i, will fall asleep alone.
think of you later in my empty room
where i, where i, will fall asleep alone

It was the type of feeling that can't be explained
The way she moved her lips drove me insane
Now I'm left here in the wake of something more.
She made it hard to leave as she stood by the door
In a v-neck T-shirt and nothing more than
A single tear rolling down her cheek, whoa

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.

It's getting hard, I know, believe me I feel you
I can't fall asleep knowing you're not home
Is it too much to ask, can't you just pick up the phone?

We've had our share of fights,
I know it's not easy when I'm never home,
I have my own dreams
Like you have your life planned out back home

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.

And I, will always stand between us
And hold you so high
Just enough to watch you fade
Tonight you'll cry yourself asleep
As I lay awake in some far off city
Pretend you're lying next to me
Eyes wide open dreaming of you

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again

We saw the summer night,
We drank down the sober sky
Left our mark into the concrete
Burned up all our tires sleeping
Words flow as we are fading
Watch the canvas become our painting
Not all roads lead to Rome
'Cause this one leads to the hell back home

Oh oh, this is what we do.
Oh oh, this is what we do.

You can say, it's wasted ignorance.
But we're okay, just living in the wreckage.
Don't you get the wrong impression
It's just business with the worst intentions

We felt the floor fall out
And, well, I guess it's too late now
Guess we'll just count our losses
Fix it no matter what the cost is

Lie down with a view
Fell asleep ontop of the roof
Remember when the sky turned orange
Or was it black the night before?

Oh oh, this is what we do.
Oh oh, this is what we do.

You can say, it's wasted ignorance.
But we're okay, just living in the wreckage.
Don't you get the wrong impression
It's just business with the worst intentions
It's just business with the worst intentions

You can say, it's wasted ignorance.
But we're okay, just living in the wreckage.
Don't you get the wrong impression
It's just business with the worst intentions

(Take a step back, take a step back)

It's all big talk until something happens
The words mean nothing til they're followed by actions
Keep your mouth moving but your body still
You'll never hit the target if you're shooting empty shells

Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count

It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave

Pulling out of pockets to show what we got
Asleep at the wheel, dreaming and driving
Rather hit rock bottom than be stuck second guessing
They have the answers but they don't know the questions

Make something happen
We'll make mistakes and not learn our lessons

Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count

It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave

Hey Hey!
Slow it down now
Hey, hey!
Slow it down now
We've got this under control

Slow it down now,
And take a step back, take a step back
Hold on tighter, we're gonna make this count

It's a shot in the dark, against all odds
They said we'd never make it this far
Well look at us now, we've found our way
Life is what you make of it
So make your faults, wonder what we could bend
Looking back on all of this,
I wanna know I made the best
Saving my rest for the grave

(Chorus:)
Your just trading heartbeats baby
your just changing the verse in between your sheets
your just trading heartbeats baby...and thats fine with me

tell your friends not to speak til their sober
their words slip as their inabitions lower
my lips are sealed but you still speak in fiction
so keep tellin the stories even though i never listen

i heard the bad news i heard all about you but its not what you did its just what you do

(chorus:)
Your just trading heartbeats baby
your just changing the verse in between your sheets
your just trading heartbeats baby...and thats fine with me

ive got you right down to the bone
but i dont let my feelings show
but i still remember all the long drives home
we sang we sang
whoa-oh-whoa-ohh

(chorus:)
Your just trading heartbeats baby
your just changing the verse in between your sheets
your just trading heartbeats baby...and thats fine with me

give it up and just let it go
what you had you will never know
the reason is right but the feelings are wrong
now we'll sing to a different song
do you remeber when we sang(X3)

(chorus:)
Your just trading heartbeats baby
your just changing the verse in between your sheets
your just trading heartbeats baby...and thats fine with me

give it up and just let it go
what you had you will never know
the reason is right but the feelings are wrong
now we'll sing to a different song
and thats fine with me

Gonna sink this ship tonight
Gonna see if hope really floats
I got a feeling that it doesn't
The water's reaching for your thighs
The way you panic, well it's turning me on

You make it hard to swim away
You look so good, we're freaking out

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's dead without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing...

I made peace with where I stand
I'm the cut underneath your heels.
But as you gotta be
Do you believe in miracles?
'Cause tonight we resurrect the dead

You make it hard to swim away
You look so good, we're freaking out

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's dead without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing...

Tonight, I rock amongst all that you did
Make me a mess, make me a mess
We'll dig on the bottom of the ocean
We'll dance, we'll dance, we'll dance

Come on and take me on a sinking ship
What's dead without a smile
I still want you on the bottom of the ocean
Watch me bury the ground after you get yours
You're only out for one thing...

Would you believe me if I said I was sorry
The question wasn't mean to hurt,
It was just my fear of losing you.
And now you're filling all the space that surrounds you
I'll soon be tucked away underneath your bed
Where you gave yourself to me.
Where I gave myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Maybe it was wrong of me to think I could keep you
And maybe it's the last few drinks
Taking over my mouth and all I've been thinking
I want you to know that I am fine here without you
But I can't bring myself to lie to you.
And since we're being honest, I feel I should tell you
I've been filling up the empty space between you and I

Between you and I, she could never compare to you
Between you and I, I still keep your pictures underneath my bed
Where she gives herself to me.
Where I give myself to you.

Maybe it's all for the best,
But I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place, oh...

Yeah...

Maybe it's all for the best,
I just don't see any good in this, no.
Maybe we'll find something better
But the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place
Yeah the lovers that leave us
Will always hold the place

Let's turn this up a little bit louder. (yeah)
Keep singing along as the night gets longer.
Let's keep it moving,
Keep our feet up off the ground.
We hate to leave but we'll be back around! (yeah!)

These are the days that we will always remember.
Chasing the night to make our days better.

Sun sets and we're setting sail to another town.
Got all the windows down and the radio up!
Let's do it again, keep the rhythm with our hearts.
This is why we wake up, what it's all about!

Let's turn this up a little bit louder. (yeah)
Keep singing along as the night gets longer.

These are the days that we will always remember.
Chasing the night to make our days better.

Let's turn this up a little bit louder!
Keep singing along as the night gets longer! (longer!)
Chasing the night to make our days better.

These are the days that we will always remember.
Chasing the night to make our days better.

Let's turn this up a little bit louder! (yeah)
Keep singing along as the night gets longer!

This is the way you ruined your view
you painted yourself to the back of the room
and now the walls start closing in
you buy your problems off a shelf and you realize then
your problems are ugly and weak
your words are so soft you can't even speak
these bones mean money to him, they'll sell themselves for fashion and fortune

i-i got a feeling we'll be alright
because i-i haven't felt this good in a long time
haven't felt this good, whoa
no, i haven't felt this good

stuck in the place where you are
you made up your face, left you a star
see them draw the heat from their veins,
its such a cold feeling when your blood's been replaced.
its a bad taste to swallow your pride
the darkness in your chest tells a lot from your eyes
there's not a dollar that can crawl back inside
whats the cost of living if you've purchased your life?

i-i got a feeling that we'll be alright
because i-i haven't felt this good in a long time.
haven't felt this good,
no i haven't felt this good

ba ba ba, ba da ba da, da da [x2]
ba ba ba (ba) ba da ba da, da da [x5]

i-i got a feeling that we'll be alright, (yeah)
because i-i haven't felt this good in along time.
i-i got a feeling that we'll be alright (i got a feeling)
because i-i haven't felt this good in a long time (got a feeling)

It all was a dream
and it was worth the memories
if i make it out alive
then know that this got the best of me
my nuckles are white
but i can't get a grip
if it's the last song i write

i'll make the words fit
from the roof of this house
I watch the sun go down
On the time that i cursed
Since i turned sixteen
A set of keys i was california dreaming
Drive just drive

I've been saying that ill change my ways
But someday seems to be
My favorite word lately
He lent out his hand,
But i pushed it away
Now i damned myself from the words
I didn't say
And all the things i said i wouldn't do i've done
Things get hard all i think to do is run
But all i want is something i call my own

I let my heart woah
Get the best of me this time
I lost myself
And all that mattered most to me
One thing doesnt make a man

I cant believe all the things ive seen
I was moving so fast i forgot to take it all in
As i sat down in tears afraid and alone
Makes you think of the times
That mattered the most
And now its five years later
And I'm still all alone
My closest thing to a friend
Put a dime in a pay phone
And now I'm feeling all the pain that i could
Behind this broken down piano
At the back of this bar
So this is california
The sun still sets the exact same way as back home
On the roof top the sun still sets the same
The sun still sets the same

I let my heart woah
Get the best of me this time
I lost my self
And all that mattered most to me
But one thing doesn't make a man
One thing doesn't make a man

The lies i told the hearts i broke
The things i had i never told
The tip of my tongue my finger tips penciled every word i missed
And i for got to mention i when i move back home
And now I'm going back to the only thing i've ever known
Woah get the best of me this time
I lost myself
And all that mattered most to me
But one thing doesn't make a man

I let my heart woah
Get the best of me this time
I lost my self
And all that mattered most to me
But one thing doesnt make a man
One thing doesnt make a man

Take your friends and move them out
We are the chase-ups of the night
Losers-bite it
But we don’t go down without a fight

Ugly trends and pick-up lines
Have shattered its own pride
Hopes and dreams and memories
Have stopped to say good-byes

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

No more should’ve-been, no more could’ve-been
There’s no last thing now

Carve into the drawing board, just to wash it clean
They big talk but they will never say what they mean

Crowded floors and sleepless nights,
Photographs and stupid fights
Hopes and dreams and memories
You can’t take away from me

Oh, oh oh oh, yeah

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

No more should’ve-been, no more could’ve-been
There’s no last week
No more should’ve-been, no more could’ve-been
There’s no last thing now

Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah

We only get one chance at this
In this life it’s hit or miss
My hopes and dreams and memories
You can’t take away from me

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

One more song we can sing along to
Our big break
No more mistakes
One more time, we’ll do what we have to
To get this off the ground

No more should’ve-been, no more could’ve-been
There’s no last week now

You say everything the right way,
And I say it all wrong
I’m sorry for that, sorry for this song
Give it up, let it go
There are some things you’ll never know
If you don’t know your reason,
Just try believing in me

I’ve got nothing left to give you, baby
I gave everything I’ve got to you
I’ve got nothing left to give you, baby
I gave everything I’ve got to you

Threw it all away to just another day,
Another day next to you
How could I be such a fool?
Never was that smart when it came to matters of the heart
I’ll play the game, I’ll play the game

But as far as I can tell,
This will always scream out “hell”
Just to see you walk away,
Can’t walk away, don’t walk away
From me, yeah

I’ve got nothing left to give you, baby
I gave everything I’ve got to you
I’ve got nothing left to give you, baby
I gave everything I’ve got to you

I know we said we’d never forget
I know we left everything unsaid
I know we said we’d never forget
I know we said, we said

I’ve got nothing left to give you
I gave everything I’ve got to you
I’ve got nothing left to give you
I gave everything I’ve got to you
To you, to you

(Got a ticket to a one-way train wreck
We fell off track before we left the station)

Got a ticket to a one-way train wreck
We fell off track before we left the station
And when the flames come pouring out,
You will find us
And we will be standing all around,
Picking up the pieces

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

We’re a car crash, an accident with broken glass
We’re a plane wreck, a parachute that won’t eject
So let’s leave this mess behind just to save us
We could strike this fire down
And leave the spots between us

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

Got a ticket to a one-way train wreck
We fell off track before we left the station
And when the flames kept pouring out,
You didn’t find us
We were sitting all around, picking up the pieces
The pieces, the pieces

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you’ve had too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

This is just broken love
Two hearts that can’t get enough
So when you have too much,
You gotta, gotta give it up

You, you always point the finger at me
Like it’s just so easy
I, I know it hurts sometimes
But I haven’t been myself lately

I, I’m getting out
Won’t take it anymore
Now, I’m getting out
Future’s at my door

I’m sick of being told what to do
Like it’s never good enough for you
I never said that this would be easy
But I don’t think you were listening

I’m getting down to the point that you led me to
Get it off my chest, mm, just to listen now
I’m not gonna take it anymore

I, I’m getting out
Won’t take it anymore
Now, I’m getting out
Future’s at my door

I’m getting down to the point that you led me to
Get it off my chest, mm, just to listen now (gotta get out)
I’m getting down to the point that you led me to
Get it off my chest, mm, just to listen now (gotta get out of here)
I’m getting down to the point that you led me to (good-bye, I’m so out of here)
Get it off my chest, mm, just to listen now

I, I’m getting out
I, I’m getting out

I, I’m getting out
Won’t take it anymore
Now, I’m getting out
Future’s at my door
(Four times)
