There's a hatchet got a knife
And now ya hope that there's nothing real in this life
And dreams are so intoxicating, (intoxicating)
And you're doing this alone
Going real quick, going away
Words have no meaning when its you that says
I really do care, no baby I, I really do care!

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

Once a skeptic, now the critic
And you figured you've finally found a place of your own.
Amongst the cold and dimmed souls
Where only failure knows your name

Look around for the closest to blame
Look above at the hands beneath your arms
And now your 6 feet down, buried with, with your past
And fame fame fame fame.

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

Oh oh oh all your life
Tell me something more than what you've tried to hide
You can't find your self, then how an I expect to find you.
Oh oh, all you cried
Tell me something more than what you tried
The greatest tragedy is not your death
But a life without reason and life has no perils and life has no reason
(Life has no purpose!)

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seem so long
Since your paperheart start beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

Who's gonna call on sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what simpleties may bring
Laugh and love free and sing
When life is in discord
Praising the lord

Who's gonna call on sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

I thought you said forever
over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends

These thoughts run through my head
over and over

Do they not have pen or paper where you are
'Cause I haven't heard from you in ages
I relive each memory
From time to time
With notes exchanged
With all the scented pages
It's comin back
It's all comin back to me now
Tell me everything turned out alright
'Cause I'm well and we said
That we'd meet tonite
Does he treat you like you want?
Does he ask to take your hand?
Does he believe in dreams we talked about?
Though with no music we dance
I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here
So I wrote to remind you somehow
Dance by yourself and
Think of me when you do
I'm not sure you understand
What this means to me
What you do to me
I'm willing to prove
That you're the one
I regret to slip away
Now I know it was only you
That I've been searchin for
And missin all this time
I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here
So I wrote to remind you somehow
I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here
So I wrote to remind you somehow
Let the past be past
Let's start today
And let us both do
I need to see your face
Tell me where to be
I'll tell you why we shouldn't be
(I'll tell you why we shouldn't be)
I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here
So I wrote to remind you somehow
I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here

Are there no shadows where you are?
I can see everything is day
Problems that you try to hide away
Pushing me aside (You're pushing me aside)

Could the winter calm come twice?
Could your heart seem so cold tonight?
There's no substance somehow isn't right
It's killing me inside (It's killing you inside)
Killing me inside

I don't wanna be where you are
I don't wanna be here even now
I don't wanna be by your side
Something isn't right
Something isn't right

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
This is our last goodbye
This is where love ends

I assume I have to write it wrong
How could you watch and since forgone?
Does what we've done ever really belong?
You're wasting me away (I feel so wasted away)

God if you can hear me out alright
Please take these feelings for her inside
My chest hurts when I breathe tonight
It's wasting me away (You're wasting me away)
You're wasting me away

I don't wanna be where you are
I don't wanna be here even now
I don't wanna be by your side
Something isn't right
Something isn't right

This is our last (This is our last)

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been

This our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
This is our goodbye
This is where love ends

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
This is our last goodbye

So let me get this straight
Say now you love me all along?
What makes you hesitate
To tell me in words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say
I remember so along ago saying I felt the same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificately enough we both have significate others

Only time will tell
Time will turn and tell

We are who we were with
Could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were with
Who knew what we know now
Could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were with

What thoughts they change and times they rearrange I don't know who you are
anymore
Lust come and go and this I know I'm not who you recall anymore
But I must confess you're so much more then I remember
Can't help but entertain this thought
Thoughts of us together

We are who we were with
Could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were with
Who knew what we know now
Could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were with

My day late friend

So let me get this straight
All these years and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you're a day late and my love just still renown

We are who we were with
Could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were with
Who knew what we know now
Could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who

Come closer now
I know your desire is to be desired
Steal a kiss and, and call us friends
Distance is a theif in which you conspire

Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are

You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

It's clearer now
You're nowhere into giving
Giving into, giving into me
It's your fault
You're like a rare disease
I know you're in love
With love I believe

Turn and time and time will tell
Time will tell or tear us apart
You're miles and miles and miles away
Silence reveals where we really are

You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

Do you expect me to wait here?
(All alone in my thoughts and fears)
My whole life could flash before your eyes
(Hope one day that you realize)
This isn't the way it's supposed to be
(This is who I crown, now without me)
Your regrets from us built up inside
(Great space for you, love buried alive)
Buried alive

You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
You only stayed to break my heart
I can tell it by the way you runaway,
Runaway girl
Runaway, runaway girl

I only stayed to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I walk away,
Runaway girl
I only stayed to break your heart
You can tell it by the way I run away,

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh

Live for today
We'll dream tomorrow
We've got big plans in sight
We'll take this city and by nightfall...
The bright lights are calling

Everything is going our way
Everything is just as we've planned
This is our future (from what we've heard)
And I've still got your hand

And it feels like we could last forever
And I'm not doing this alone

[Chorus]
When memories fade
We've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways
We've got each other
I hold it all when I hold
I hold it all when I hold you

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh

We fell on hard times
This isn't the ideal
We're miles from home
Doing the best that we can (the best that we can)

I won't do this without you
I won't do this without you
So take heart...
'Cos you know that you have mine

And it feels like we could last forever
And im not doing to do this alone

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It's not about the money we make
It's about the passions that we ache for
What makes your heart beat faster
Tell me now what does your body long after

I don't care now where we live
It's not where, or what, or who we were with
I just need you in my life
So promise me again

When memories fade
We've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways
We've got each other
I hold it all when I hold
I hold it all when I hold you

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah

"I'm here for you" she said
and we can stay for awhile,
my boyfriends gone,
we can just pretend.
Last I need no introduction,
Now whos the greater sin,
Your drived by sin to revive,
(tell me darling) Where do we begin.

Was this over before
Before it ever begins
Your Kiss
Your Clothes
Your Clutch
Like the devils got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your Lips
Your Lies
Your Lust
Like the devils in your hands

Everyone in this town
is seeing somebody else
Everybody tired of someone
our eyes wander for help
As i need no answer no
I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake
I fell in love with your sin
You littlest sin

Was this over before
Before it ever begins
Your Kiss
Your Clothes
Your Clutch
Like the devils got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your Lips
Your Lies
Your Lust
Like the devils in your hands

Failure is our disease
You broke my heart, my joy
You brought my greatest failure
Discourse wont save myself

Was this over before
Before it ever begins
Your Kiss
Your Clothes
Your Clutch
Like the devils got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your Lips
Your Lies
Your Lust
Like the devils in your hands

Was this over before
Before it ever begins
Your Kiss
Your Clothes
Your Clutch
Like the devils got your hand
This was over before
Before it ever began
Your Lips
Your Lies
Your Lust

Maybe tonight we'll get back together.
Sound the alarms and break all the levers.
These streets are ours, our anthem rings.
You'd know the truth if these walls could sing.

Amateur youth, sling down those signs
Gather the masses, friends of mine
I've got your back if you've got my hand.
This isn't over, it just began.

If this isn't love, (If this isn't love)
This is the closest I've ever been.
Do you think we have a chance?
Tonight at streetlights, sing on Audrey's song.

If this isn't love, (If this isn't love)
This is the closest I've ever been.
Do you think we have a chance?
Tonight at streetlights, sing on Audrey's song.

Remind your parents, “We're tomorrow.
Lead with morals and we'll follow.”
When they wake up they'll see
That youth fades and glory days deceive.

What are you waiting for? Let's move on this.
Time is of essence like your kiss.
So say you're in
With cards down and guns drawn; this is it!

If this isn't love, (If this isn't love)
This is the closest I've ever been.
Do you think we have a chance?
Tonight at streetlights, sing on Audrey's song.

If this isn't love, (If this isn't love)
This is the closest I've ever been.
Do you think we have a chance?
Tonight at streetlights, sing on Audrey's song.

But now it stops at this.
We could take it all if only we were rich.
You can be what you can conceive
Read letters, kill your disbelief.

We all make mistakes sometimes
We all fail, but we stand tonight
Look past them and move on.
We're all here; you're not the only one.

If this isn't love, (If this isn't love)
This is the closest I've ever been.
Do you think we have a chance?

[No lyrics]

She's got the time
says she got time on her side
Running the rule
Commanding the late boys eyes
She runs around, knows all the streets by name
So mysterious, shadows meet James Dean
She's intoxicating, soon your favorite drink

Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save {you}
Temperatures rise and I start to move
But it's you that's coursing through my veins

Say she's got hope
Took shelter to the Hollywood list, taking control
Wanted my heart but I gave her my soul
She's like a Paige Davis with a Monroe kiss
Disappeared today, left no trace
But someday I'll know your name

Your black dress in disarray
Only dance floor prayers can save {you}
But it's you that's coursing through my veins

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes

She's no saint (she's no saint), she's no saint
She's no saint but she'll take you to your knees
Try her boy, but she'll still do what she please
Do you believe in science? She's perfect chemistry
She wanted my love but I gave her the rest of me

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes

You'll adore me before the night is over [x2]
If London's calling don't you dare pick up the phone
Only you entwined
could make this orphan feel at home
Lips that need no introduction, but now waiting for your call
if picture's worth a thousand words
Then your touch is worth them all

Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, swear I'm clinical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
Don't need no drugs, you're my chemical
Now I'm dependent, no not cynical
Addicted to those glances, taking chances tonight
I need a fix in those heroin eyes
