The Young Veins Album

She was acting pretty, thought she owned the city
Someone should have told her pretty ain't a job
Now she begs for money
No one calls her honey
As she bothers shopper in the parking lot

Gets her karma with a catch
Forget superstition by wearing in backwards
Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats

Some people never change, they just stay the same way

I swear this like a sailor
Love is not a favor
I find it's just a concept that we live inside
And if you can agree with me and Mr.Twain in matters of opinion
Our rivals are insane

Forget superstition by wearing in backwards
Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats

Some people never change, they just stay the same way

Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change

I need to take a vacation
If this is settling down
Then why aren't you here?
I want a big celebration
The night we get back in town
And I hope you're all there

But leave the waves at the ocean
Keep them all in a picture
And leave the cold where we came from
Our loneliness will keep us warm
We're going going going very far

I need to take a vacation
If this is settling down
Why aren't you here?
I want a big celebration
The night we get back in town
And I hope you're all there

Leave the past out to pasture
And take the days as they come
And leave the sand in a suitcase
So we don't forget the fun
We're going going going very far

Took you in the vineyard a couple hours after I met you
Didn't need my passport, said I'd let you keep it forever
I hardly knew a thing about you
I got lost in cape town
In cape town

I saw you, I met you,
I loved you, I left you
In cape town

Woke me in the morning, asked me if I meant it
I didn't
Asked to be her husband, she already had one
In prison

I hardly knew a thing about you
I got lost in cape town
In cape town

I saw you, I met you
I loved you, I left you
In cape town
In cape town

Ran all of out paper, lost it all in part to when I was in Asia
I forgot how to call you
Went out to a grave yard to pick a couple flowers to give to you
When I got back to cape town
To cape town

To cape town
To cape town
To cape town
To cape town
To cape town

Maybe I will, Maybe I won't

I don't wanna find my home
Just wonder what happened to it
My hand's all caught in stones
Who stole all my bones?
All my forgotten poems
Are a joke, What do I know,
Maybe we're wrong,
Doesn't it show, people get old
When they're alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won't

Seven days over the sea shells
Sunk so many, at least will,
You come visit me,
Finally finding sleep,
Swim around and dream

Stay afloat
Maybe we will, maybe we won't
Doesn't it show, people get old
When they're alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't

The weather is impeccable,
We're riding to a festival
When suddenly it's gray
Do not be afraid
For the wind it doesn't stay

It blows and goes away
It blows and goes but never shows its face

Doesn't it show, people get old
When they're alone,
Whata I know,
Maybe I will, Maybe I won't.

Maybe I will, Maybe I won't (Maybe I will, Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will, Maybe I won't (Maybe I will, Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will, Maybe I won't.

is "young" a word for "dumb"?
a word for "fun"?
we have the time of our lives
every night like its our job
to lose our minds

every night
but if i were to die tonight
would you cry or deny
my place in your life?
im aware that youre scared
of my heart
but its here

is "young" a word for "dumb"?
a word for "fun"?
we have the time of our lives
every night like its our job
to lose our minds

every night is the same
go to sleep without our blame
and the shame is enough to separate us
but we can't help ourselves
were in love
and it really hurts when its wrong

is "young" a word for "dumb"?
a word for "fun"?
we have the time of our lives
every night
like its our job to lose our minds

and its every night
we have the time
like its our job
to lose our minds
every night. -->

A part of you left the room
I am left talking to the apple
She comes to me when I dream
I'm tired of counting sheep to see her
I sleep because I need her
And everybody knows it but you

A wedding ring is just a thing
That weighs you down and occupies your finger
I know it sounds a little down
But love is all I'm really after

She comes to me when I dream
I'm tired of counting sheep to see her
I sleep because I need her
And everybody knows it but you, but you
Everybody knows it but you

I hope you're all listening
I'm pouring out my heart for paper
A part of me still believes
That love is all Im really after

She comes to me when I dream
I'm tired of counting sheep to see her
I sleep because I need her
And everybody knows it but you, but you
Everybody knows it but you

Everyone but you knows
Everyone but you
Everyone but you knows
Everyone but you

Don't wait around for love
You're not what he's thinking of
When he's with the other girl

Don't bother waiting up cause he
He's not where he's supposed to be
When he's with the other girl
When he's with the other girl

You, you were right
I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

You were right
And I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

Don't have much to say right now
Cause I'm trying to figure out
Why he's with the other girl

Life is not a fairytale
They will send him straight to jail
Where he'll die and go to hell
With the other girl
With the other girl

You, you were right
I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

You were right
I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

You, you were right
I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

You were right
I was wrong,
Like I always am
And you always are

All I do is lie
By the ocean side
Why do the clouds all turn gray just for you?
I've never been such a beautiful blues

And step outside your door
And go down to the shore
Why do your eyes feel like shells in the dune?
And what makes a crowd turn away from a tune?
I've never been such a beautiful blues

Even the tide gets high at night
Even the truth is wrong sometimes

All I want to do is dig a hole with you
Feet are no strangers to the undertow
Wind won't decide which way to blow
But we will never leave
You're all that's left for me
This is our home, we just don't have a door
Euphoria is a risk on the floor
The words keep on crawling from under the rug
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?

Even the tide gets high at night
And even the truth is wrong sometimes
Sometimes

Who knew that love was a beautiful blues?
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?
Now I know love is a beautiful drug
I know that drug is a dangerous love
I know now love is a dangerous blues

There was a hold-up when we found the bridge
Of a place we'd never been
Defiance
And ever since I was a kid
They said, “just stay away from there”
Boy don't you ever live
In defiance
Defiance

And from the outside looking in
I sure do make an easy target
It's nice to think that you are always wanted
And I'm not afraid to laugh
And I don't mind taking a photograph
Cause you don't ask for my autograph
In defiance
Defiance

Yet she said it was rusted lead
Their love could never live again
But they found a way to make it stay
In defiance, she asked
In defiance, she asked
“Why can't we just be friends?”
This kind of thing always happens
I fell in love again
With defiance

When I started out
Writing you this song
I was heels over head in love
But you had your doubts
Cause it took too long
To finally see what I
What I'd been doing wrong

I tried to love you but
You still loved him so
I'll ignore my heart and lie to the truth
I'll lie to the truth

A love of mine once said
“The best part about you
Was me” so now who
Is judging who?

I know I broke your heart
Mine is broken too
Now if we're even
Then why are we both blue?

I tried to be true but
You still love him so
I lie in silence and
Feel like a fool
I lie to the truth

I think that I have had enough
I guess that I have had enough
Of you

I think that I have had enough
I know that I have had enough
Of you

We tried to be true but
You still loved him so
I'll keep my distance
And lie to the truth
I lie to the truth
I lie to the truth
Cause you lied to it too

If I could ask for anything
I only want my girl
I've seen a lot of things
Going on all around the world
I had to leave her all alone
I wrote this down
So I could let her know
But I only want to see her

You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
(Always had that heart of mine x2)

If I could win the lottery
We'd sail across the world
Travel to the Philippines
To buy an island
Just for you and me
Cause on the equator
It never really compared
I only want to see her

You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
(Always had that heart of mine x2)

You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
You should take this heart of mine
She always had that heart of mine
(Always had that heart of mine x3)
