Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

Standing on the edge of morning
Scent of sex and New Found Glory
Playing as she's pulling back her hair
She drives away she's feeling worthless
Used again but nothings different
She'd stay the night but knows he doesn't care

Home by three to deafening quiet
The porch lights off guess they forgot it
She'd cry herself to sleep but she don't dare

And she wants to be a model
She wants to hear she's beautiful
She's beautiful

chorus :
I want to save you
I want to save you
I need you, save me too
I want to save you

Dressed by dawn and out the door
No lights she memorized the floor
So she could leave without being detected
She works 'til three it's uniform
She dreams that he'll come by the store
She prays for days when boys mean
She's protected

And she wants someone to see her
She needs to hear she's beautiful
She's beautiful

chorus

And she won't sleep
She won't sleep at all

chorus

Let me save you

Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when the bottles full
Maybe when the door gets broke down
Love can break in
Maybe when I'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when I'm done with endings
This can begin...

chorus :
If you could be my punk rock princess
I could be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something

Maybe when your hair gets darker
Maybe when your eyes get wide
Maybe when the walls are smaller
There will be more space
Maybe when I'm not so tired
Maybe you could step inside
Maybe when I look for things that I can't replace

chorus :
If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroine

I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watch your life go past
You wonder if you should

chorus

You know you only burn my bridges
You know you just can't let it sink in
You could be my heroine

I woke up in New York City
From my sleep behind the wheel
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
And time stood still
She wrote me a letter from San Diego
To qualify her luck
These flights connect through Arizona
But I think I'll stay stuck
Here I am

chorus :
I woke up in a car
I traced away the fog
So I could see the Mississippi on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
Please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car

I met a girl who kept tattoos
For homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body
'Til all my skin was gone
She wrote me a letter
As we passed through Rockford
She said she won't forget
Maybe I do maybe I don't
But I know I haven't yet
But here I am

chorus

Maybe I could live forever
If not ever I had known
That you'd be waiting there whenever
I am all alone
But here I am

chorus

I have a story
A bitter anthem
For everyone to hear
About this kid who just don't like me
And that's a solid fact
They say he's hunting me
And as you see I'm all swelled up with fear

I've been sleeping with ghosts
I've been watching stars crawling out of the sky
I've been hoping I'm close
To the spaceman movies I call my life

And I've been climbing ladders through time
I've got tunnel vision but I'm doing fine
And I've been watching stars coming off of the wall
And maybe if I'm lucky I could catch them before you fall
And you are not alone

chorus :
Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
Crawling out of a world she bought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high

I've been holding this microphone
And I've been channeling but I think we're alone
I've got platinum vision and a tin foil touch
I've got you to propel me
But I still need so much
Not to be alone

chorus

You are not alone

Calling out to the astronaut
I need some of what you've got
I need to be high
I disappear in a world she bought
Calling out to the astronaut
I need to be high

Shake down you make me break
For goodness sake
I think I'm on the edge
Of something new with you
Shout out don't drown the sound
I'll drown you out
You'll never scream so loud
As I want to scream with you

Standing there with your smile blinding
Your eyes from seeing
My face as I'm dying
To figure out a girl
But she drifts so far away
I'm on her coast
So maybe I should stay
And map around your world

chorus :
So don't say
'These currents are still killing me'
And you can't explain
But the wind went and pulled me
Into the hurricane

Stand up don't make a sound
Your ears might bleed
There are sweet fluorescent enemies
That live inside of me
The world moves faster than I knew
Not fast enough to not creep up on you
And the space we put between
So pull me under your weather patterns
Your cold fronts and the rain don't matter
Because a sun burns what I needed

chorus

You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake
Now I count the hours

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
You always said destiny would blow me away
And nothings gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me son

I close my eyes
Thought I was lost but I was stranded
I go outside
To my surprise the sky had landed
I thought it made more sense
If I could only keep you guessing
I was a fool to think
That I should stop you from undressing
Now I'm believing all the words you say
That I can't say back to you
To you

chorus :
So I fall
I don't want to feel this small
You know I just can't handle this
Handle this at all
And I'll just fall
I let my heartbeat drop
I falter as the music stops
And you watch me as I stall
And wonder when I fall

I kiss your neck
I feel you breathing on my shoulder
Still I'm perfect
It must be you

Staring into the intersection
She thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction
She's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling
The further that I'm feeling from alright
The more I step into the sun
The more I step out of the light

Jessica is covered in a blanket
On a Sunday porch
Thinking of weekends she would party in the city
She doesn't have a flame
She'd prefer to burn out like a torch
If she gets nowhere in life
At least she knows she's pretty

chorus :
Hey now
The straw dogs out in the street
Hey now
There are chemicals in the clouds
Hey now
They're calling all the police
But they won't get to us anyhow

The moon is shining now
And shadows are what's left of all the noise
Simple silhouettes and cutouts
As if we had the choice
He listens closely now
Swears that he can hear a voice
That's calling him and saying

chorus

What does it take to be a super hero
In my world ?
Make no mistake that these villains
Always get the girl
We can escape and then we'll skate away from all of this
But no one ever does

chorus

She's trapped inside her room
With reruns on the screen
Old books and movies
But she can't stop thinking
I'm torn between myself
My radio my friends
I want to write this one off over and over again
And then she looked at me to scream

I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl yes I did
Kissed a drunk girl on the lips
I let my guard down
How could I have been so dumb?
Her eyes were open
I know I am not the one

chorus :
I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself
I kissed a drunk girl
And I'm sure I could have been anybody else

I went to her house
And everybody there was gone
Her little cousin
Just passed out on the lawn
We walked to my car
She mouthed 'Is everything okay?'
She leaned in slowly
So now I can say

chorus

I pulled away
I didn't think it would be right
I said 'Lets save it for another night'
And she said 'No, no, no I know
That everything is gonna be just fine'
How could I do this
When I want her to be all mine?

chorus

I know you don't care about me
I'm sure when all is said and done
And I go home feeling lonely
You will have had your fun
Do you even remember?

chorus

A long day
If ever these questions were yours
what would you say?
I don't know
But I'm writing the answers on
cheap paper napkins
And now he's turning off
Now she's shutting down

chorus :
It's not what it seems
Nothing's the same when you give it away
No it's not what it seems
It's just what you think it is

And these fights
They climb through my veins
like it's mercury rising
And these nights
I seem to remember a home that was better
And now he's turning off
Now she's shutting down

chorus

Now he's turning off
This family is breaking down

chorus

It's just what you think it is

Taking steps back through the words
I should've said to you.
they all got lost, you went away
And I feel sick and you just don't care anymore
Hours to be with you
Minutes of me in you
And I can't feel this happening
So tie my hands back and make me feel you
Coming down
I'm coming down

chorus :
And you don't care
Your face is on a billboard
And you're everywhere
You don't care much for interviews
Your GoneE You've gone away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay

It's hard to wave goodbye
From airplanes when I
Just don't think that you can see
I taper off
And say it's never worth the pain
Sometimes it is.

chorus

God I wish that I could make this right,

I wish that there was something worth the time
For her to give to me.

A phone call from LA is my present
There's nothing left for me to give
I wish I could
And I know that I should
But you know I know I won't

chorus

If you don't like being hurt then get away
If you don't like being hurt then please don't stay

Light breaks underneath
A heavy door
And I try to keep myself awake
Fall all around us on a hotel floor
And you think that you've made a mistake
And there's a pain in my stomach
From another sleepless binge
And I struggle to get myself up again
I want to hang onto something
That won't break away or fall apart
Like the pieces of my heart

chorus :
Globes and maps are all around me now
I want to feel you breathe me
Globes and maps I see surround you here
Why won't you believe me?
Globes and maps they chart your way back home
Do you want to leave or something?

Dreams came around you
In a hazy rain
You open your mouth wide to feel them fall
And I write a letter from a one-way train
But I don't think you'll read it at all

chorus

I can't take this anymore
I know that I can't take this anymore
I can't take this anymore
Cuz I know someday I'll see you
walk out that door

chorus
