Jimmy Eat World Album

Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read
When the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had

(Get Up, Get Up) Turn on ignition
(Get Up, Get Up) Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'
(They'll say)

Back when I was younger I was someone you'd've liked
Got an old guitar I'd had for years I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else that you ain't dying enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes

(Get Up, Get Up) Dance on the ceiling
(Get Up, Get Up) Boy, you must be dreamin'
Rock on young saviour, don't give up your hopes

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake that hand'

I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down
(easy)

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say 'All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice'
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success-story
And they'll say 'Lord, give me a chance to shake his hand'
(They'll say)

I have a ringing in my head
And no one to help me answer it
Even with you close enough to kiss.

Every minute is arranged
Every moment lasts a day
But thinking about it can't help me let go, I know.

Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I must look like I'm running away
To you at your faster pace
I wonder what it is you could have seen, in me.

I'm the evil one who said.
Gonna let everything just happen
Just like my chest, my ears are proud
The collision is such an ugly sound.

I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.
I can laugh it off.

I can hear you now
Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.

Talk, talking a lot, but it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off.

Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what whats to break

I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since

I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and your the reason
It's a dream but there's a real long wedding

I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I'm alone in this
I'm all as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

And I know I'm all alone
Say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I'll carry you

Does it feel good like a memory
When you try some history
It's a dream to come around
But who doesn't then,
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when you're new
All you'll get is what you wanna hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.

Maybe your life is what I need sometimes
You took the most and best of anyone
You said to "keep me in your pocket"
So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Gonna stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours because
Your only good is what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
Want a thing to make you mine
And another to say it's fine

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed, it passed.

I'm still carrying a little hope that
Maybe things could get different now
Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight
At a place we go?
I wanna make things right
Before time runs out.
Roll down the windows
Like you know they're coming
Slap my face just to feel, to feel you there again

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.

I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed.
'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed.

I came up like everyone, they taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say, and then from that they grade.
Give up repeating the facts, but that could be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight.

Now give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...

Talking points from talking heads with automotive smiles
There's no higher ground to stand than bottom of the pile.
Give up acting unaware, you can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well, the enemy is I

Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...

Not in my name, you don't speak for me
I am my voice, and I want to scream
You want my air, you want my life
I act as one, but I'm not alone.

Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...
Give it up!
Oh oh oh...

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man draw
She's the sweetest honey pot

Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing they're blues for them?

Let the factory's rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining in my bed

Will they breath our again?
Who will sing they're blues for them?

When your feeling moot
You can have your conscious all you want
You can say I do nothing yeah
I put it off

Where you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone to sing your blues?

There's a chance, one of us will give in soon
I could ask, but what's an answer gonna prove?
I tried to get mad, but the fever drops
My heart can't break 'cause the beating stops
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me.

Wanna wrath, take a look around the room
It's a dance, tired steps in brand new shoes
I can only take a guess what morning brings
If it feels too good, then it probably is.
Yeah, suck that lucky feeling right outta me

I follow your sign, wherever it leads I go.
But you turned your back so easily,
It tells me everything I need, yeah.

Waiting for the line to move a foot, yeah
Wasting my life on nothing good
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me

I should apt to tie it down or cut you loose
It's a trap, and I'm sure I should not move.
When I try to sing along, the needle skips
I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but the half is friction
Suck that lucky feeling right outta me
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me.
Yeah you sucked that lucky feeling right outta me, yeah.

On, it's on.
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection, yeah
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me

Light on up
with everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
Whatcha gonna do

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
and I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
and I roll

Here it goes
crowning up the cool kid queen
There it goes
the competition show their teeth
I'll let them fight it out
It's just my party now
What I want to be

Stand on up
everyone you kill
we've got to stare on out
Don't get sucked in for a second
Robots might say your name
They only light the stage
Nothing there to prove

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
and I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
and I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
and I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
and I roll

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Don't accept critique or credit
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Definition always changes
It's not the same as yours
You could be so much more
the closer that you get

oooh ooooh, oooh ooooh
oooh ooooh, oooh ooooh
oooh ooooh, oooh ooooh
oooh ooooh,

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
and I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
and I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
and I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
and I roll

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor,
I'm only here in body visiting.
Yellow faces in the distance screams,
"The beauty is in what isn't said,"
I'm rising to my feet,

Because tonight, the world turned in me.
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, oh chase this light with me.

My just so, my last call,
My life is yours in your gifted hands.
Confetti rainfall in a quiet street.
These things I've found are special now,
The knot is in my reach,

Because tonight, the world turned in me.
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, oh chase this light with me.

A movie, still photograph,
Through a martyr's eyes can I see,
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned,
And I've paid for every single word I ever said.

Confetti rainfall in a quiet streets.
The beauty is in what you make it,
So get up on your feet.

Because tonight, the world turned in me,
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, oh chase this light with me.
Because tonight, the world turned in me.
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe.
Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find,
Tonight, chase this light with me.

This is where our diligence has lead
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand, I wonder will I doubt

It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

This is now the moment after next.
All these silver eyes of the temptress
Why open the door if you won't go?
Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know.

It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all in my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

Is there an answer?
If it's an honest one, honestly worth this question
There's no question
The city has no limits
I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything
Just be anything here with me.
Endless quotes and with the secondhand
If you let go then that's where time will stand.

It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive.

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
Why isn't it for me, and I noticed
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just remember always counting down to a new start
You always knew the truth
And the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

I'll talk and not a lot to think, we live in dreams
And she never quit close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
That I still walk in.

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can't lick and seal then fold in two
Then avenge so blind.

Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back the way to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels

I told you as I haven't, I never felt this way
I said I have this chocolate stocked my car
Baby it's okay
You said you never had regrets
She says "there's someone else"
Who got that wish, did you get your claim?

Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.
