Hotspur Album

Everybody wants to be young and reckless
Sparkle and shine like a diamond necklace
Moved from the crowd to the top of the guest list
Everybody wants to be young and reckless

I know, you're out here for the first time
I know, you never really turned out right
Sometimes, you're better off in disguise,
some times

When everybodydydy knows it's a great big lie
So d-d-d-don't say it's alright
And everybody knows when you say goodbye
You d-d-d-don't look back, you don't look back

Hide it away stashed under the mattress
High school mascot everybody practice
Everybody move now, move to the exit
Everybody wants to be young and reckless

Does anybody know
Is everything pretend
Does anybody know
Is this making sense
Does anybody know
Is everything pretend
Does anbody know the answer in the end

She's like a reflex, making your knees bend back
It's automatic and unconditional
Breathing all of your secrets, oh
It's problematic, but once you've had it

You can never get back the way
You used to be, it's harder to breathe
No you can never get back the way
You used to be before she came

And now she's on top
You're having second thoughts
But she won't stop
It's a little out of hand
One night stand up,
nothings right now
And when the light's out
Under your breath you confess
She's got to go

Everything's backwards, you are the apparatus
It's acrobatic, untraditional
The perfect shape of a perfect love
It might be plastic but once you've had it

I can't pretend, that I'm in control.
And it's sinking in, that she's got to go

It's a rare find, some kind of antique
You'd keep just like a secret,
innocent and sweet,
you'd keep it locked.
Don't let it go if it's love don't let it go
Nobody wants to be alone
Nobody wants to see the things they've done go wrong

She said no no no no no
It's not how this was supposed to go
I said so so so sorry
I guess this is goodbye
Goodbye

She's a mystery, no one seems to get,
this could be what you need
This could be the missing piece,
oh if it fits, don't let it go
If it's love don't let it go
Nobody wants to be alone
Nobody wants to see the one they love move on

This is how the story goes
You write the ending
everyone hopes for
This is full of beautiful prose
The hero and the broken home
This is how the tables turn
and no one know what to expect
nobody knows what's next

Calm down baby, please don't go
I've made up my mind, oh oh oh
I'm down on my knees and I'll
Write this down and memorize every note

To make it up to you somehow
I'll find a way to work it out
Can you hear me now (Do you hear me now)

Let's start this over
Yeah yeah, don't you see
We can't give up
We can't give in

Leave no number, leave no trace
No goodbye, good good night
Just like that now everything's changed
Everything's different, everybody gets in the way, but

I wonder is this the beginning
Or is this the beginning of the end

Got my back to the ropes
So let's cut to the chase
From a kiss on the cheek
To a slap in the face

It's the hurt, the theme
Her majesty the queen
Well she won't know,
Is there anywhere to go

Take a listen to your heartbeat baby
It's the only way to know, oh oh
Take a listen to your heartbeat and tell me
What are you waiting for?

It's a fact it's a fiction
A confession in disguise
If you ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies

If it's worse, it seems
Her majesty the queen
Well she won't know
Is there anywhere to go

If it's love, if it's love
You say it's not enough,
maybe you want more
Baby if it's love, what are you waiting for

Have you seen this girl
I don't know her name
We split a cab the night, the city lights
went out for days

And I think somewhere in between
if you're listening and you see
And you're whispering to me
Can you hear me

Have you seen this girl
I'm looking for this girl
She has to know I'm hers
She has to know I'm waiting
Baby can you hear me
I'm screaming, can you hear me
Are you listening to me now

Dusk turns into dawn
Everywhere I go
The colors of the sky
Become the colors of the road

And I can't sleep because I dream about her
And I can't breathe without her
Tell me if you're listening
Can you hear me

And I'll sing this until I find out
if she feels the same way
does she think about me
Does she see me in every crowd
Does she scream, does she know

This is how I always want to look back and remember
When I look back and remember everything
This is how I always want to see you when I think about you
Everything it always seems to change

When you fall / from the sky
Will your parachute arrive
Read the headlines / from your bedside
on the front page of the Times
When you fall / don't look down
If you're feet don't touch the ground
Well you'll never come back down

All you ever wanted was to be a part of something
That was bigger than the sum of everyone
Who ever wanted something
All you ever wanted was
To be the start of something
Everybody wants what everybody's got

I would capture this on video
Record your voice in stereo
Relive this on the radio
But it would not compare

Nobody witnessed
She made a statement
Side with the victim
Tossed on the pavement
Walks like she's innocent
Talks like a saint
But she's lost, she's commitable
Crooked as a criminal

Hiding all the evidence
Covering the fingerprints
Nobody has to know

Pack your bags, Oh oh oh
Somewhere no one else will know
About your past, Oh oh oh
But don't look back, don't look back

Everything's fine
Nobody's to blame
No one gets hurt
Cuz it's just a little flame
It's just a little lie
A victimless crime
It's just another day with your eyes looking
over from your shoulder cuz you're

Every time you start to break down, I'll be waiting
Every time you run away
There's nothing there you haven't seen
I'll be somewhere in between
What you take and what you leave behind
In everyone around you but you know
Every time you turn away, I'll be waiting for you
Every time you run away

Left you a note by the bed saying thanks for the night
Tripped on the phone as I left and I woke up the cat
I took a long last look at you asleep on the bed
I stole a paper from your neighbor for the bus ride back

But things are never what they seem, c'mon
Now hold your breath for what comes next

This game of chess
Where everything stays set
And no one makes a move
So no one gets upset
And nothing breaks your heart
No nothing shakes your bed
Don't start me, Don't start me

Outside on the streets on the 5th of July
It was a better day to be a little bitter on the inside
I turned a corner and the sun went blind
I had a vision you were with me when the fireworks died

But things are never what they seem, c'mon
She's blushing red but what comes next

Yet I confess
The things you said
The mess you left
Your silhouette
It's got me calling to let you know
To let you know I won't forget

You're at the bottom of the ocean
You're a rainy day in Queens
You're the basement of a penthouse
Looking up at all your dreams
You're an elevator going down
And coming up with ease
We won't stop till all the power
on the block is out and

Everybody's screaming
Get me outta here
I can't breathe, I can't see
Please don't leave me, say you need me
Cuz I need you and me, baby please
Get me outta here

You hear the sirens in the distance
You can almost see the light
There's a dark side to this prison
It's the sharp side to the knife
There's a message to this rythm
Like a stranger in your dreams
It's intoxicating innocence
In a sense has everybody screaming

Most of the time
There's a reason or rhyme
That you can't get around
When you run and hide
Most of the time
There's a reason
You can't stay
No, you can't take no more
