The Cab Album

I've been let loose and now I'm crawling up the walls
Word is I got away and now I must be caught
Don't leave
Take it from me
I'll been more than a king

(I can't take that, I can't take that)
I'm going crazy and I've been awake for days
My mirrors are stained with painted portraits of your face
Don't leave
Take it from me
You're my dirty disease

(I can't take that, I can't take that)
My flat line inhibition
Is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just spit me some direction
I'll be your infection
How could you leave me behind?

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time to give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

If seconds heal all wounds
I'll put these tips on you

I brought apologies wrapped tight in a bouquet
Just to find out that my face had been replaced
Deceived
It was a breeze
I was tossed to the streets

(I can't take that, I can't take that)
My flat line inhibition
Is my ammunition
I'm just fighting to get by
Just spit me some direction
I'll be your infection
How could you leave me behind?

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time to give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time to give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

If seconds heal all wounds
I'll put these tips on you
When faith is left to prove
It's all you have to lose

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time to give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

I'm a mess and you're worse
Just give me time to give you a waste of time
One of those nights
When you leave me for no reason
I'll give you a reason

The lips that slip
Are the lips that press
And the lips that leak
Seem to know you best

I put bodies into motion
Keep this skin out in the open
Liars turn me on

Bedspread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I threw mine to the sky

Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
This is it, call it quits with honesty
You don't need this
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth, it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

The lies that tied
Your tongue in knots
Are the words that grew
To hit my spots

So filthy, dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

Bedspread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I threw mine to the sky

Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
This is it, call it quits with honesty
You don't need this
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth, it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

Bounce bounce, baby
(Bounce bounce, baby)
Bounce bounce, baby
(Bounce bounce, baby)

So filthy, dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on

Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me
You don't need this
This is it, call it quits with honesty
You don't need this
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth, it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

I can see it in your eyes
You're scared
All these things they force you to do aren't fair
I'm here to chase away these tears
Baby, we can chase away these fears

Because sometimes baby
You fall on your back
But girl, you're three times the lady I'll ever have
And you know, you know it's true
This is a fight I refuse to lose

And I'll run
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
And I'll run
This is where we both break free
I'll bring you home

I can hear it in your voice
You care
Let me run my fingers through your hair
I'll keep you company at night
Baby, I'm here to make this right

Because sometimes baby
You fall on your back
But girl, you're three times the lady I'll ever have
And you know, you know it's true
This is a fight I refuse to lose

And I'll run
Have a little faith in me
You're scared and alone
And I'll run
This is where we both break free
I'll bring you home

Believe me, don't think twice
And don't leave me, or say goodbye
Believe me, believe me tonight

If you have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
If you have a little faith in me

Baby, take it off
Checkered thighs on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't enough
So baby, make a move
My neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust

Tell me what can I say to make your body come this way
We're only two in a crowded room where others fade away

It's only a crime if I get caught
(Only, if I, if I get caught)
It's only a line if it gets bought

I woke up 12:05
I left that room with no goodbye
And now I'm on my way back home
It's not that your lipstick failed
But girl, I was just born to bail
I do it better on my own

Tell me what can I say to make your body come this way
We're only two in a crowded room where others fade away

It's only a crime if I get caught
(Only, if I, if I get caught)
It's only a line if it gets bought

It's the same game
I play 'til the give becomes the take
It's the same game
I play 'til the bend
The bend becomes the break

Baby, take it off
Checkered thighs on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't enough
So baby, make a move
My neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust

It's only a line if it gets bought

It's the same game
I play 'til the give becomes the take
It's the same game
I play 'til the bend
The bend becomes the break

Lately I've been walking
Through these places that I cannot stand
I guess it's just my history talking
Now I'm refusing to supply your demands

You say
The storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
But I'm moving fast
Without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we all belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone

And lately you've been knocking
But I never really listened or cared
'Cause when I told you I was walking
I was reeling her in with my stare

You say
The storm will pass
We'll work it out
The roads can get a little rough sometimes
But I'm moving fast
Without a doubt
Our hearts will beat in separate rooms tonight

Baby, we belong alone
This last second chance is blown
Baby, we all belong alone
I've got another you at home
Baby, we belong alone
(x2)

Calm your nerves now
And don't worry, just breathe
Are you sure now?
Don't bother packing, let's just leave

Said they wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
Let's end this tragedy today

Now, take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over, it's over, it's over

Lay down with me
And let me hold you, baby, just breathe
This is ending
We will get through eventually

Said they wanted change
I hope that you remain the same
To show that this is not a game
We'll end this tragedy today

Now, take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over, it's over, it's over
(x2)

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't

Now, take my hand and we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over, it's over, it's over
(x3)

We won't be a part of
We won't be a part of this
We won't be a part of
We won't, we won't

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score
Don't forget how well I know you
Stop asking and keep dancing
You don't stand a chance, girl
You'll fall apart
Stop talking with you hands, girl
You'll have to start
Over, over again
Maybe I'll call him up and call you out
Maybe next time you should turn around
Over, over again

Put, put, put your heart where your mouth is
Put, put, put your heart where your mouth is now

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score
Do do
Stop asking and keep dancing

You think that I am blind girl
My eyes were always floating in your wine girl
You'll have to starve
Over, and over again
Maybe I'm the one that plays the game
Maybe I tend to make the same mistake
Over, and over again

Baby you should put your heart where your mouth is now

Hide the key
'Cause I'm coming over
To settle the score
Don't forget how well I know you
I'll take, take, I'll take, take you down
Do do
Stop asking and keep dancing

I'm talking about change
You really want to see the way
But if you want to see

Then you need to settle down

I came, you went
Is there something I should have said?
I'm sure there is, and I'm supposed to know

If I could be myself for just a minute
And God forbid I'm pleased with myself in this relationship
And all I want is a moment alone without you

Time out, but keep the tapes rolling
Just in case I say anything brilliant
Time out, but keep those cameras rolling
Just in case I don't look this good forever

Like hell, I'm spent
You were someone I shouldn't have met
For your own sake, let's take my side for once

If I could be myself for just a minute
And God forbid I'm pleased with myself in this relationship
And all I want is a moment alone without you

Time out, but keep the tapes rolling
Just in case I say anything brilliant
Time out, but keep those cameras rolling
Just in case I don't look this good forever

And I'm up, down
I'm spinning around
High and dry
And kicked to the ground
I'm lost
And I'll never be found

My lips were
Much too shy
The lines about you
They never rhymed
You said,
I never get things right
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

Baby where'd you go?
I need you here tonight

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory

Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life
Goodnight

And you're hot, cold
Battering my bones
You run wild
I lose control
I miss you
Forever, you'll stay gold

Girl, you know
I'm not getting by
I've lost it
You ripped my mind
Every day is
The darkest of my life
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

Baby, where'd you go?
I need you here tonight

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory

'Cause I'm drowning
When I close my eyes
And I'm falling
I can't breathe tonight
End of story
I fade to black inside
(I never said I was the best thing for you)

'Cause I'm drowning
When I close my eyes
And I'm falling
I can't breathe tonight
End of story
I fade to black inside

Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory

Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life

'Cause I'm drowning
When I close my eyes
And I'm falling
I can't breathe tonight
End of story
I fade to black inside

It's twelve o' clock and I need your attention
It's like the alcohol
Making my head spin
Your scent is the rum
The room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless until I wake tomorrow
If tonight ever makes a difference
The way that I feel
The way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down until the glass remains
Swallow the words that I was meant to say

It's a long drive back to Vegas skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

All of these guards they stand tall and defensive
Putting up walls around what was once innocent
It won't let me in, but I'm stronger than that
Because you stole my eyes and I've never looked back
Girl, last night I forgot to mention
The way that I feel, the way that I'll remember this
When we're this young
We have nothing to lose
We just the clock to beat and a hand to choose

It's a long drive back to Vegas skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

It's a long way down
Just fall into place and you'll fall into me
We'll make it out
You'll see

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

It's true that I'm a silver shadow
And you are always on my mind
You need to get over here
We'll disappear

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make everything feel so damn good

I could've sworn we disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know I just appeared tonight?
You want to dance with me
You want to dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don't talk, don't walk, it's just the two of us
Dance with me, dance with me
You want to dance with me, dance with me, baby

Soon, we're heading to a place where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You need to let it unfold just like you're told

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make everything feel so good

I could've sworn we disappeared tonight
Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me, baby
And don't you know I just appeared tonight?
You want to dance with me
You want to dance with me all night
Nobody there will ever see us
Don't talk, don't walk, it's just the two of us
Dance with me, dance with me
You want to dance with me, dance with me, baby

Soon, we're heading to a place where I'll prove
I'm all you want and more
You need to let it unfold just like you're told

Your secret's safe
And no one has to know I'm your getaway
And a little bit more than you can take
I can make everything feel so damn good

Good, good, feel so damn good, good

The word is out
This town can hardly breathe
When air is filled with dust and dying dreams

Attaching wings to all the sights
We're making sure these buildings fly
We worked too hard to leave without a fight

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

The word is out
This town, it never sleeps
A feeding ground for those who still believe
Kissing curbs to bide our time
On this last night to feel alive
We will never leave this place behind

Go ahead and tell everyone you know
We stole the show

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need

Make us
This city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us
It'll only save us
Stronger then we came up
We are leaving it all
(x2)

Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up
You're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need
