Sunsets always drag us to a new low We live cashless and fast 'cause we learn slow Maybe too many shots went to our heads But we'll rest, take a breath when we're all dead.

Tonight just got cracked open and my judgement is just as blurry as my eyesight as the night stretches on. Out of the corners of my eyes I see past plastic cups through empty bottles Someone that has never shown their face here before. This night could be the best mistake of our lives. This rooftop plays the songs that we never hear when the city comes alive in the dark of night and fills the spaces we all miss. Tonight we all seem to share good times as we make it hail cause we already spent the rest of our money on the cheap thrills that never fail. Stomach hurts, head throbs in this room that stenches of regrets from the last night my two minds begin to fight (piece together last nights recap, fragments of mistakes we both had) one for what is not said one to see you in my bed we quiver, we quiver maybe this is not what we wanted in the end but I know. This rooftop plays the songs that we never hear when the city comes alive in the dark of night and fills the spaces we all miss. Tonight we all seem to share good times as we make it hail cause we already spent the rest of our money on the cheap thrills that never fail. Numbers were another rule to bend we had the time of our lives with our best friends. And we all know as the missing spots fill in it will fade, mistakes made Take this secret to your grave. Tonight we're busting out of our front doors (It's our demise) and we have never seen this place before (The best mistake of our lives) All the nights we get right, we never saw this coming (through blurry eyes) but we take this secret to our graves. This rooftop plays the songs that we never hear when the city comes alive in the dark of night and fills the spaces we all miss. Tonight we all seem to share good times as we make it hail cause we already spent the rest of our money on the cheap thrills that never fail.

The steam in these windows of my car let me know my friday nights sometimes go too far. 'Cause I know with my years of playing fields that aren't well maintained It's better just to play with the lights off. Whats a kiss without show and tell? Just some lips that were too hard to sell If the devil never knew between heads or tails Would everybody still think he was from hell? Everytime I have to come home to you lying seems to come way easier than the truth When this starts coming back my way burning bridges leaves me building my own highway. But I admit that results of my acts only left me screwed. Whats a kiss without show and tell? Just some lips that were too hard to sell If the devil never knew between heads or tails Would everybody still think he was from hell? (FUCK YOU) Your kiss goodbye is my disgrace I'll always finish last in the first place And it's always the same race.

Reckless 03:30
All hearts are torn between two crossroads we never thought it'd last forever. Hold out the hand that holds your life alone the other one held us together. It's the weight of your words dragging me down to your shackled displays of abandoned love Just leave me crawling my thoughts for a breath. Your steps leave me reckless each footprint cuts my chest It makes me want to give up the life that you gave. Yet I want you to know that i'll always want you back. Until the day my hopeful eyes close for good. If you need more time you can have all you need but I cannot wait too much longer When that time comes it'll be said and done and I will not be any stronger. Your steps leave me reckless each footprint cuts my chest It makes me want to give up the life that you gave. Yet I want you to know that i'll always want you back. Until the day my hopeful eyes close for good. Until the day my hopeful eyes close for good (x2) As our hearts run farther our hands remain tied. Your steps leave me reckless each footprint cuts my chest It makes me want to give up the life that you gave. Yet I want you to know that i'll always want you back. Until the day my hopeful eyes close for good.

The past is on holiday every line and memory just screams I hate you and i'll be okay And I know we had some good times but they fell by the waistside If I still had your friendship I would throw it away. Is this more then running in circles or maybe hitting targets built by your bullshit. The photographs are gaining gravity when this floor becomes the death of me. It makes me think this is it. The past is on holiday I've been thinking of what to say when our paths cross on another day Time's past, seasons changed things will never be the same Since you ripped yourself away from everything. Is this more then running in circles or maybe hitting targets built by your bullshit. The photographs are gaining gravity when this floor becomes the death of me. It makes me think this is it. Sticks and stones will kill you but these words are what will send you to hell. I wish I never knew you. (So you can take back all of your hopes and dreams it's not my fault that you couldn't live up to them It was fun but understand that people change and some of us can't keep our promises).

Poor Lloyd 03:36
Let your sweet lips spill to me more twisted stories, more backwards memories It's too late to take it back now While I watch you waste your youth on what you still think is the truth What we had is still around if you'd only stop to pick me off the ground. The way you play these games goes way over my head The way you play these games God knows i'm better off dead. So tell me i'm not perfect only if you believe you are Tell me my life is going nowhere ignorance only goes but so far. This is the way it is now this is the way it will be I hope you will remember me as you tell all your stories. Do i look like i'm made to amuse you insults you spit but never regret like i'm supposed to know what to do. When lonliness begins to control you what would you do if I said that there's no turning back now? The way you play these games goes way over my head The way you play these games God knows i'm better off dead. So tell me i'm not perfect only if you believe you are Tell me my life is going nowhere ignorance only goes but so far. This is the way it is now this is the way it will be I hope you will remember me as you tell all your stories.

Headlights don't show things all that clearly push past fog on the windows if you want to see. This evening beckons with cool sunsets that seem to only call out to you. Where this broken ride takes us, I don't want to know I left my troubles in my room I don't want to go home. Can we take the long way back, the taste of this freedom isn't gone (isn't gone) Just yet. The whole world never really knew you before today blending in is all you ever could do. But this world opens it's ears when everyone is filled with tears. and words can't express fears or show how much they miss you. As the moon drenches tears on these loved ones it blends an image of every daughter and every son. To know that they'd be gone forever. As this woman drapes her heart over caskets each pair of eyes barely knows the worst fact is Is that they're looking for the very first time. They're looking for the very first time. The whole world never really knew you before today blending in is all you ever could do. But this world opens it's ears when everyone is filled with tears. and words can't express fears or show how much they miss you. Don't wait til the journey home to realize that your night's all gone.

Our Glass 03:08
This is all we've ever wanted but all we ever got were a few sunsets marked with perfect thoughts. Our intentions were so low now we're following the brightest star and are on our way back home. You will never see what I am seeing or comprehend why this heart is beating For what is real and what is right this is love and this is life. You dug a hole and heaved your heart in and covered it up with the dirt everyone else has already walked in. If you set sail and you fail your SOS calls will mean nothing. You will never see what I am seeing or comprehend why this heart is beating For what is real and what is right this is love and this is life. I'm breaking this hourglass trying to forget the past. I hate this. All those nights we spent alone trying to find our way back home all lead to this. This is where the road goes out and you find yourself at the bottom of the ocean of lies you tried so hard to believe but you never believed in yourself. (I'm breaking this hourglass trying to forget the past. I hate this. (I hate this). All those nights we spent alone trying to find our way back home all lead to this.)

It's the last time I try to keep my tongue in You can't talk shit and suck way worse than these other kids did. You can feel proud about how your footsteps might be heard but believe me your chances of not getting lost in the snow are pretty low. Keep up with your sound 'cause i've always found Mimicking everything that's in heaven always leaves you hellbound. Feed these kids a catchy chorus it's just more of what they want to hear To get you where you don't have to think to care Lyrics taking you way out of this town make them want to tear the house down And don't you dare forget the breakdown. So we'll sit back and watch you go down in flames watch everyone forget your name. Just give us inspiration to keep making fun of your charade. Keep up with your sound 'cause i've always found Mimicking everything that's in heaven always leaves you hellbound. Feed these kids a catchy chorus it's just more of what they want to hear To get you where you don't have to think to care Lyrics taking you way out of this town make them want to tear the house down And don't you dare forget the breakdown. Place down spike strips behind steps you take It's your down fall. You'll just fall back on your knees for more

Colors 03:24
Hey wait one more minute theres something I've needed to get off my chest for a long time. I've planned this out line by line but your eyes made courage run from my mind. This place in time makes these lines rhyme in the right way and I never thought I would say these lines I sing over you I'm just praying to god that you feel the same. I left the light on and stepped out for a breather Because I couldn't take the heat and I guess you couldn't either. That innocent smile you wore everywhere had fingers crossed behind your teeth. You glided into a world of control and dispair that I never could see. Your halo is made out of cardboard boxes from where you keep all of your broken hearts I never thought the most perfect girl in her world would tear my whole world apart. I left the light on and stepped out for a breather Because I couldn't take the heat and I guess you couldn't either. If I had to place my bet i'd say it'll never be right Is this all you have to give having your faith is a sad way to die. So come on love and tell me a secret 'cause i'm the kind of boy you know can keep it Between you and me and everyone you know go have yourself a good time being alone. Turn your heart into a grave and bury your pride cover up all the bullshit that you keep inside I see your true colors shining through and reality seems to be new to you. It takes a fistful of fear to get this party started and the strike of a match to burn it down As we sift through ash we'll find the broken hearts of all the lost lovers who never found their way out. Of those butterfly eyes and heavenly smile with the devil on your shoulder (devil on your shoulder) I needed a place to keep warm But your heart keeps growing colder. Colder!

Silent sounds you make I know are never mine tomorrow has me dreaming of a few more weighted lines With eyes that shatter tension bring me closer without words motionless mute angel look at me and mute the world. While I fall you have it all. Yet i'm certain that this life won't pass me by without a high Just to wave to you passing by I refuse to say bye. Your lips look softer everyday I go without their touch as desire swallows me whole but it's not enough. I think it's bad when I hear all these countless memories hoping that one day you could fill a whole book up with me. And we'll be everything we both need. Yet i'm certain that this life won't pass me by without a high Just to wave to you passing by I refuse to say bye. We can stay here til we die cause i'm not saying goodbye (mute this whole world) Yet i'm certain that this life won't pass me by without a high Just to wave to you passing by I refuse to say bye.

(Shawty) Babygirl what's the problem he must be trippin' if he thinks he's going home with you tonight. Well I know he thinks he's got style but he's not taking you home I'll be damned if he thinks he's taking you from me. He can play the prince all he wants to but don't call me when he gets whats coming he better start running or baby start running to me. Start running to me. Babygirl whats the issue I know he's got friends, well i've got friends too Babygirl he's a problem i'm gunna solve him across this parking lot. Across this parking lot. He can play the prince all he wants to but don't call me when he gets whats coming he better start running or baby start running to me. And he can call the shots if he wants to if he's got the nerve then tell him I gave the go So you know. When my nine iron meets his tail light then we'll be singing all night. (x4) We'll be singing all night, all night. And I will never turn down this radio my love. As long as our favorite song is on then we'll be going strong as long as your in my arms then I will never let you go.
