In the dark
It's getting hard to breathe
Suffocating, something's wrong
I feel so incomplete
They stop and stare
And try to drag us down
Light the fuse
Flip the switch
Baby, hold your ground

You and me
They wanna break us
Let's shake it up
'Cause they will never take us

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
'Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

All their fears
Watch them all come true
All their words
A world of hurt
Can't tell us what to do

Hit and run
There's nothing left to lose
Break their hold
Slip away
Forever me and you

You and me
They wanna break us
Let's shake it up
'Cause they will never take us

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
'Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

Let's blind their eyes
And wave goodbye
Let's start the fire

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
'Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
I don't care what they say
'Cause they don't who we are

Set off all the fires,
Set off your alarms
They can give us all they got
You're all I want

You're all I want

You were talking to her
But messing with me
It's finally clear
You're blurring the lines
Are you disturbed?
Oh, now you care
Why do you race through my red lights?

Can't understand
I'll slow it down for you

Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now

Save, save it for her
I'm not gonna hear
Your reasons and “please-just-take-me-backs”
We never were right
Don't waste your breath
You crashed and you're on your own tonight

Can't understand
I'll slow it down for you

Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now

Lights out
I found out
My falling star
Goodbye
The sun rises here
There's no more you and I

How can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
Baby tell me how
How you love me now
Tell me how can you sleep?
How can you breathe?
I hate when you say
How you love me now
How you love me now
How you love me now

Homecoming, I'm coming
My sweet mistake
Summer's over, hope it's not too late
I'm pacing, impatient
Up in my head
Taken back to the sidewalk where we met

And carved out our names
Do you remember that?

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart for you

Descending, I'm spinning
Lost all defense
How could you swallow me again?
I left you, I meant to
Couldn't let you in
Never mind a single word I said

Carve out your name
Do you remember that?

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart

You've got control of me
Is this the end of me?
'Cause I just can't cut up the strings
I'm coming back for more
Don't let your heart go
Please don't walk away

Homecoming, I'm coming, I'm coming back

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart for you

Let's make a mess
Steal a kiss in the moment
You and me
Everything that it could be
Touch don't go
Stay as long as you like

Let's get reckless
Dance with our hands to the beat
Don't let this
Slip through our fingers
It feels insane
Don't you put up a fight
Let's rough it up
'Til they shut it down

It's ah-ah- obvious
Right here's where the party starts with
You and me
All alone
No one has to know
It's ah-ah- obvious
To me
How it's gonna be
Ah-ah- obvious
When you come close to me

Let's make a scene
Like movies in our dreams
Make me scream
Take me down, no one's watching
Close your eyes
Play it back and rewind

So surreal
As the story unfolds on the screen
Stop stalling
The credits are rolling
Hold me now
Before we run out of time
Let's rough it up
'Til the end of the night

It's ah-ah- obvious
Right here's where the party starts with
You and me
All alone
No one has to know
It's ah-ah- obvious
To me
How it's gonna be
Ah-ah- obvious
When you come close to me

It's ah-ah- obvious
One kiss, it's easy to see
You and me

It's ah-ah- obvious
Right here's where the party starts with
You and me
All alone
No one has to know
It's ah-ah- obvious
To me
How it's gonna be
Ah-ah- obvious
When you come close to me

It's ah-ah- obvious
Right here's where the party starts with
You and me
All alone
No one has to know
It's ah-ah- obvious
To me
How it's gonna be
Ah-ah- obvious
When you come close to me

. . .


The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains

Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright

Been black and blue before
There's no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback's such a waste
You're invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face

Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright

One day
You will wake up
With nothing but “you're sorrys”
And someday
You will get back
Everything you gave me

Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright

. . .


I am restless and I keep trembling
Everyone watch me as I descend
Into a feeling that's overwhelming me
I finally stopped
Stopped making sense

I can't stop talking to myself
I'm a desperate cry for help

Run, don't walk
The sky is falling through
Don't talk tonight
I'm so confused
I'm lost
I'm lost with you
I don't care
Where we are
Or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost
I'm lost with you
With You

Your mouth keeps moving
But I've lost focus now
Clock keeps ticking, time's running out
Where we're headed, there is no heading back
Tripping ugly, I'm losing ground

I can't stop talking to myself
I'm a desperate cry for help

Run, don't walk
The sky is falling through
Don't talk tonight
I'm so confused
I'm lost
I'm lost with you
I don't care
Where we are
Or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost
I'm lost with you
With You

For the record
When I'm with you
Things are looking better
For once
Everything is brighter
Than the darkness
Before you

Run, don't walk
The sky is falling through
Don't talk tonight
I'm so confused
I'm lost
I'm lost with you

Run, don't walk
The sky is falling through
Don't talk tonight
I'm so confused
I'm lost
I'm lost with you
I don't care
Where we are
Or where we're headed to
But I know I'm lost
I'm lost with you

. . .


The drinks are flowing
Just like the river
Then she keeps going
The whole night ends with a blur
She's got no limit
She thinks she's so tough
Can't walk a straight line
The end of the night, she's rough
Her dress whispers reckless
The night starts now when she slips on her necklace

Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Someday you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
Doesn't matter, just do something

She's ready to roll
Tonight is different
She'll start it off slow
To keep herself in check
Oh, no oh, no
It's two for one
She starts the show now
From this moment on, she's done
Her dress whispers reckless
The night starts now when she slips on her necklace

Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Someday you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
Doesn't matter, just do something

The party is tonight
And she thinks they're playing her song
The party is tonight
And it's playing all night long

Josey, don't you worry
It's just a phase you're going through
Someday you'll know just what to do
Josey, it's alright
Slap the hand that just keeps pouring
Doesn't matter, just do something

. . .


The storm is rushing on me
Here's the blinding flash
I feel so locked and loaded
Let me out, let me out

Wake up in a wasteland
Where the trees are crashing fast
Make or break before the road explodes
Get out
Get out
Of this town

Live faster
Love stronger
Better speed up
Or get blown over
Time's wasting
How much longer
Before I get myself free
On these hurricane streets

Headed for disaster
Way beyond the fear
In the rear view, watch it all just
Disappear disappear

Don't care where I'm headed
Anywhere but here
Won't waste my life
Can't waste another night
In this town
This town

Live faster
Love stronger
Better speed up
Or get blown over
Time's wasting
How much longer
Before I get myself free
On these hurricane-

Leaves are blowing
Down the streets
Wind crawling up our knees
Somebody get the keys
Rain is flowing
From the sky
But no fear in our eyes
We're ready to fly

Live faster
Love stronger
Better speed up
Or get blown over
Time's wasting
How much longer
Before I get myself free
On these hurricane streets

Live faster
Love stronger
Better speed up
Or get blown over
Time's wasting
How much longer
Before I get myself free
On these hurricane streets

. . .


It took two days
For me to figure out
This isn't working out
But I lost my way
I drove all night
Just to be with you
But you weren't worth the view
I've gotta hit the breaks
Now you know
Get up and go

Arizona Arizona
A car wreck on the highway
Now you're burning by the side of the road
Arizona Arizona's
A million miles from Florida
Now your history
I'm stranded, get me out, I'm going home

Deep in your soul
Lies a lonely heart
That only ever pumps
For you alone
And I can't relate
So I gotta leave you here
I can breathe without you, dear
Just start walking away
Now you know
Get up and go

Arizona Arizona
A car wreck on the highway
Now you're burning by the side of the road
Arizona Arizona's
A million miles from Florida
Now your history
I'm stranded, get me out, I'm going home

Tell me
How does that feel
With a grand canyon
Between me and you
Tell me
How does that feel
To see me waving goodbye

It took two days
For me to figure out
This isn't working out
I've gotta hit the breaks

Arizona Arizona
A car wreck on the highway
Now you're burning by the side of the road
Arizona Arizona's
A million miles from Florida
Now your history
I'm stranded, get me out, I'm going home

Arizona Arizona
A car wreck on the highway
Now you're burning by the side of the road
Arizona Arizona's
A million miles from Florida
Now your history
I'm stranded, get me out, I'm going home

. . .


Some think that they deserve more
Give a little like it's become a chore
Don't demand things, or walk yourself out that door
I fell flat on my face too many times
Left with nothing but some cheap perfume
Now you cry
Now you need me
Now that perfume's not cheap
Thought told you...

If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you
You should've tried harder
If you thought I would leap into your arms
Every time I would see your face, then
Maybe you
You should've tried harder

Go on, prove it
I'd love to see you try
Convince me that you gave me the world
I tried and tried but you never opened your eyes
You stand tall like you've won some kind of award
But really I've never seen someone so short
You'd look taller if you gave me some more
Thought I told you...

If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you
You should've tried harder
If you thought I would leap into your arms
Every time I would see your face, then
Maybe you
You should've tried harder

Some think that they deserve more
Give a little bit

If you wanted to be my only one
If you wanted to see this happen
Maybe you
You should've tried harder
If you thought I would leap into your arms
Every time I would see your face, then
Maybe you
You should've tried harder

. . .


You're the direction I follow
To get home
When I feel like I can't go on
You tell me to go
And it's like I can't feel a thing
Without you around
Don't mind me if I get weak in the knees
'Cause you have that affect on me
You do

Everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm ok
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss
As much as I hate missing you

Months going strong now
And no goodbye
Unconditional, unoriginal
Always by my side
Meant to be together
Meant for no one but each other
You love me, I love you harder
So...

Everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm okay
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss
As much as I hate missing you

So please give me a hint
So please give me a lesson on how to steal
To steal a heart as fast as you stole mine
As you stole mine, yeah

Oh, and everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm ok
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss
As much as I hate missing you

So please give me a hint
So please just take my hand
