Four Year Strong Album

Leave it up to me to mix business with pleasure
But were not getting any younger
And it leads me to wonder shouldn't I be getting
Something out of this
Something I could have missed when I'm without her.

What the hell are you waiting for?
It's all for you or it's all for nothing
All for hoping that you'd give it a chance, give it a chance, give me.
What the hell am I waiting for?
To be out of time or be out of context
Pleasantly complex
And were giving up on getting guilt out of our way.

Theres something in the air tonight
And I cant quite put my finger on it
But I tell you that shes got it
And it works for me
And I'm falling for
Shes another break in the bend
I could be nothing more than a trend
I'm wandering off
I'm wondering if shes got it out for another one
Shes got it out for another one better than me.

An eye for an I am ready to give it up give him up and on and on
And I'm floored to see that you are standing here
Like everything was oh so clear and bright you don't think about it
Why do you kick me WHEN I'M DOWN
I'm running out of things to say
Things don't come as easy, and things don't come as easy as you do
And I'm running out of things to say.

RISE OR DIE TRYING!

It's perfect, or so they say
But it's hard to see it
Turn out that way
To keep it going, to keep it going, breathing
breathe deep, breathe deep
Try to keep it cool
but you'll forget how foolish you will feel
forget what strings you have to pull
forget what strings
what strings you have to pull

It's our time
and we're calling you out
and we wont stop till we prove
until we prove what we're all about
and all that we've given up

Victory's ours now
you'll never put us down
we're exactly what you need
and what you've always wanted
what you've always wanted to be.

Your glory torn tales
and my brave war stories
of useless wants
and pointless worries
and living for her
while you know she's

breaking bones
and she's breaking pockets
using what shes been given cop it
But what she's hiding up her sleeve
is disbelief that now we believe

It's our time
and we're calling you out
and we wont stop till we prove
until we prove what we're all about
and all that we've given up

Victory's ours now

you'll never put us down
we're exactly what you need
and what you've always wanted
what you've always wanted to be.

It's our time
and we're calling you out
and we wont stop till we prove
until we prove what we're all about
and all that we've given up

Victory's ours now
you'll never put us down
we're exactly what you need
and what you've always wanted
what you've always wanted to be

We'll see who finally has the last laugh
Oh baby do not just sit and cry
Well I know you never wanted long term
I'm bored and getting to wondering why
I left you messages screaming, "Please be home!"
And you're not there, I'm miserable... I'm miserable

Come and find me
Oh would you let me know what I can do
To make it up to you, I can't leave this untold
And when I lay in bed I toss in turn
I'm wondering what I will say next and then I wonder...

Why is the only thing you feel heartbreak?
Why is it the only thing you feel? Say my name.

When it's torn, torn apart
A broken promise; a broken heart
I want a band-aid but I'll scar

We'll see who finally has the last laugh
Oh baby do not just sit and cry
Well I know you never wanted long term
I'm bored and getting to wondering why
I left you messages screaming, "Please be home!"
And you're not there, I'm miserable... I'm miserable

This broken perfect lips
And we're full of sin from the perfect kiss
Each and every lover now says that
I only wanted a phone call or a letter
But all I got was one cold shoulder that sent shivers down my back

When it's torn, torn apart
A broken promise; a broken heart
I want a band-aid but I'll scar

Is this the end of it?
Where smiles and tortured faces collide
With the smell of your hair
In the air subsides into fragrances of
Occupied spaces
And passion took our insides.

On highland, I hear the steps of underdogs
So let me ask are you tired of hearing me
Rant and rave of another day
Where I could have been the hero
But instead I ran away.
Well don't forget what you are running from.

Take to the streets and ride
Around our city that never sleeps unless we do
To be in this big town
With these small ideas
Wanna go wreck someones day?
We'll keep calling
Cuz they're lying
And wont stop until we figure out
Where our meeting must take place.

Did that I was right?
(cuz) it happens every time.
Don't forget what you are running from.

Enough's enough of the he said she said
I'm growing tired of you
And I know you feel it too.
I'm sick and tired of the do do do it now
I just hope that you that you
Knew through and through it how
You pushed me away
And I knew someday you'd pay.
And you will.

Does it hurt you to bare
That everything means everything to her.

Give it a go, give it a go and let go.
Don't let your positives show.

Give it a go , give it a go and let go.
Don't let your insides show

Be sure to call out my name
so I can find you at the tip of my tongue
spiting down my throat and into my lungs
every lover that you loved
until another pushed and was shoved away
so where does your heart beat tonight anyway?

I've been waiting for too long
to see another night wasted
so close you can taste it
I've been waiting for too long

please forgive me for what I have to do
but your eyes have wondered or so you knew
to every other boy that can crack a smile
make the girls jealous and stay awhile
until you are through
but you don't even have the slightest clue.

Wait until the coast is clear
in the corner with a hush hush baby
I'll make you believe exactly what I want
and when you BACK DOWN
I'll just push harder
until you GIVE IN
into every single line I throw your way
and I'll make you believe every word I say.

I wont take what you say to heart
I wont take what you say to heart

Another night
another hometown fight
to keep the street from claiming what I know is right

stay here where ships and wires meet
wont you call it home
don't forget to call me don't forget to call me handsome
and then you'll KNOW YOU'RE DONE
but will you realize
that this soon dies

To save me would be a simple way of thanking me
For one day of living
That life that we're supposed to know
A life that you would not let go
And you're still slipping

Come back to me
Come back to all of these
Warmer nights, stronger fights

To hold me, to see the way I feel
It's the last time I will let you hold me again
I'm breaking away
And I don't want to play your game
You've fallen in my own walk of shame
It's sinking... it's sinking away

Stay away
I want you but you're not what I can have
Taken away

To hold me, to see the way I feel
It's the last time that I'll let you hold me again
I'm breaking away
And I don't want to play your game
You've fallen in my own walk of shame
It's sinking... it's sinking away

You've got me on my knees
Is that what you want to hear? (Is that what you want to hear?)
You've got me, you've got me all wrong
A loner, a rebel, too much for you to handle
One time again.. I'm breaking away

And I don't want to play your game
You've fallen in my own walk of shame
You're sinking... sinking away, yeah
And I don't want to play your game
You've fallen in my own walk of shame
You're sinking... sinking away

When you know that im gone you will
say to yourself
I have nothing anymore,
nothing to ignore,
no one to make sure you're ok
to make sure you're ok..

You've got bedtime eyes
and you bat 'em like a hero and to no surprise
you just kill me, kill me sometimes.
(Sometimes)
Im not getting any closer
getting any closer
Im not getting any closer
getting any closer
any closer to you again
its not the same as it used to be before

Like times of sneaking
lips speaking in whispers
and I kissed hers
but did she know it all along
I swear she knew it all along
Its like holding her responsible
for everything, all the things I've become

You're the one to blame for...
for everything, all the things I've become
You're the one to blame for...

You're the one to blame for...
for everything, all the things I've become
You're the one to blame for...

When you know that im gone you will
say to yourself
AI have nothing anymore,
nothing to ignore,
no one to make sure you're ok
to make sure you're ok..

Like times of sneaking
lips speaking in whispers
and I kissed hers
but did she know it all along
I swear she knew it all along
Its like holding her responsible
for everything, all the things I've become

Everything means nothing
and that nothing means everything to me

You've got bedtime eyes
and you bat 'em like a hero and to no surprise
you just kill me, kill me sometimes.
(Sometimes)
I'm not getting any closer
getting any closer
Im not getting any closer
getting any closer
any closer to you again
its not the same as it used to be before

You're the one to blame for...
for everything, all the things I've become
You're the one to blame for...

You're the one to blame for...
for everything, all the things I've become
You're the one to blame for...

When you know that im gone you will
say to yourself
AI have nothing anymore,
nothing to ignore,
no one to make sure you're ok
to make sure you're ok...

Will you, will you ever learn
I haven't come to a conclusion yet
Your Charm, Your history hasn't been
A living hand
We can lift up ourselves from this disaster
I can learn by myself run any faster
I cant make myself only you can

Tomorrow I'll find you there
Beyond the street lights, nails and board in hand
And I'll beg you to figure out
To figure out yourself and every move you make

I'm coming down
Way down past these thoughts that i once had
It's where you and I are placed
I realize
That this knife was not for me
And after you tell me your life story

Tomorrow I'll be right there
Wanting something more than, something more than...
A sting by your fingertips
Or the poison that resides upon your lips

I'm waiting for my life again
I'm waiting for my legs to be untied
Ive been waiting for you ever since you fell asleep last night
And I'm waking up, I'm burning down
Don't miss me when i leave this time

I'm begging for my life again
I'm begging for my legs to be untied
Ive been waiting for you ever since you fell asleep last night
And I'm waking up, I'm burning down
Don't miss me when i leave this time

Throw up your white flag and show your face to me
Your Juliet castles and your Romeo suicidal dreams
Have been blown to the wind
Were giving up, were giving in, until the end
Were a knife to the throat still means best friend

Heres to the night we gave our hands
To save each other but we couldn't save our plan
Weeks and weeks of suffering
Didn't matter as much as to how the thoughts of saving your simple complexion
To the baby blues and ruby reds
Of obsession and progression and what you really mean to me

Did you think that you had a chance
with your way with words and your way with romance
I wanted her too much

You're in on a lie
And we're out on the highway
Dodging bullets
As we're putting half our lives behind our backs.
Do you feel as perfect as you put on?
Try to brace yourself for this one
It's impossible to turn away
It is impossible to turn away

Get out, get out from behind the wheel and get under it, under it baby
The last you ever made us what we really wanted to be
Was the day we ended summer and we brought you in on a key
Get out, get out from behind the wheel and get under it
Always right and the winner
But when we dropped you out and finally got on our way
You qualified the cost of being wanted to play

We gotta get back, we gotta get back home
No we're not putting up, putting up with the words you say
I forgot to say that I'm sorry and I meant it
And after every fight by fight we'll be back in your head
And if we get our way I swear you'll wish you were dead
That's why you gotta get back, gotta get back home.

Do you feel as perfect as you put on?
Try to brace yourself for this one
Cause it's impossible to turn away
It's impossible to turn away

We gotta get back, we gotta get back home
No we're not putting up, putting up with the words you say
I forgot to say that I'm sorry and I meant it
And after every fight by fight we'll be back in your head
And if we get our way I swear you'll wish you were dead
Thats why you gotta get back, gotta get back home.

It's what you strive for, to be seen as perfect
But it's not working anymore x2

We gotta get back, we gotta get back home
We're not putting up, putting up with the words you say
I forgot to say that I'm sorry and I meant it
And after every fight by fight we'll be back in your head
And if we get our way I swear you'll wish you were dead
And I gotta get back, gotta get back home.

I gotta get back, I gotta get back home
We're not putting up, putting up with the words you say
I forgot to say that I'm sorry and I meant it
And after every fight by fight we'll be back in your head
And if we get our way I swear you'll wish you were dead
And I gotta get back, gotta get back home.

I gotta get back, I gotta get back home
We're not putting up, putting up with the words you say
I forgot to say that I'm sorry and I meant it
And after every fight by fight we'll be back in your head
And if we get our way I swear you'll wish you were dead
And I gotta get back, gotta get back home.

It's what you strive for, to be seen as perfect
But it's not working anymore
It's what you strive for, to be seen as perfect
It's what you strive for, to be seen as perfect
