The Party Scene
"Hey, kid, you've got, a lot of potential
but I think its time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound."
"Here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive;
to all the nights that we forgot to get back home.
Stay seventeen,
the party scene has got the best of me and you,
we've got to let this go..."
"Drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene,
of empty bottles, heavy hearts,
the memories of broken dreams..."
"We were so tired yet so alive,
wrapped up in lies like sheets of another one night stand,
you know you left the girl with nothing but the,
sunrise through the window pane, where tired eyes will close."
"I know she hopes I choke on this last drink,
drop dead before my influence gets to her head."
"She said, "I'll love you forever, or find something better.
It's all just the same as when we sleep together.
We wake up with headaches, and trouble remembering what went wrong..."
Lullabies
"Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye -
it could be for the last time and it's not right."
"Dead - Like a candle you burned out;
spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words."
"Scream - To be heard, like you needed any more attention."
"Sing me to sleep, I'll see you in my dreams,
waiting to say, "I miss you. I'm so sorry."
"Forever's never seemed so long as when you're not around
it's like a piece of me is missing."
"I could have learned so much from you but what's left now?
Don't you realize you shot this family a world of pain?
Can't you see there should have been a happy ending we let go?"
Hometown Heroes, National Nobodies
"Like the sound of a smile, or the distance of song,
only measured in time as the kids sing along."
"Can you hear the crowd is calling,
"Hey, sing louder now,"
You've got to show them what it means to be alive...
Dancing through the night has never been so rock n' roll,
You've got a good thing and it's time to let them know."
Win their hearts with words unlike the pages left at home,
Secrets kept from critics no one ever wants to know..."
Circles
"Inquisitive and thoughtful,
She was the challenge he'd been waiting for
A reminder that creativity runs deep, like secrets
Dark eyed dreamers - they were a dangerous pair
"Q" next to "U", scribbled out on paper."
"Go back to the place we knew before
Retrace our steps to the basement door
I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile."
"Like so much time that we spent in the fall
Put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold
Preceding what became our bitter end."
"He was the poet, while she was the muse
She had a pen that she knew how to use."
"A touch of redemption, a hint of elation
A recipe for disaster."
We Say Summer
"I have seen millions of faces,
ever-unchanging; content with redundancy,
I'm not the same way;
searching for change in directions that I want to go."
"We've got ambition like you've got restraint."
"Smile like you don't give a damn about the consequence."
"Twist and turn in my sleep,
wake me up when we get there;
Destination success."
"Run like hell - We make noise for the sake of escaping.
Run like hell - You only live once now take this to heart.
Tell my family and friends I'll be ok."
Break Out! Break Out!
"Luck loves me not tonight, I'm running out...
This four leaf clover's all but useless now."
"Break out, break out,
Our time has come and we've got these big city dreams."
"Put up or shut up, we're not wasting time again,
The credits are rolling and we're getting lost again,
In parking lots, to serenading sirens,
As the blue lights bathed our smiles..."
"Lets take a moment to reflect,
On the past few years of my life,
I haven't worked myself away,
To stay inside."
Running From Lions
"Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage,
a small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks;
and when things get too hot, you've got me to blame for,
every fire that breaks out in every lover's name."
"Don't forget, we've got unfinished business,
stories yet to unfold,
tales that must be retold,
and I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness."
"Sell me out I'm yesterday's old news,
phrases left on paper,
black ink bleeding through
the pages where we made our history."
Noel
"Think about it 'till anticipation makes you shake
And we both lose control."
"Jealous hearts will leave us all in ruins,"
that's what we'll say
as we hide out from our friends, hear the message once again,
"Let's get this right."
Your lips are a hot flame, baby
and our chemistry is kerosene...
Take it off, take it all off,
maybe we can get down and burn up in the heat..."
"Don't treat this like a secret,
just keep it quiet while we know
that we could tear best friends apart
with all the lies that we've told."
"I'm lost for words when thoughts don't compare."
I Can't Do The One-Two Step
"Fall short this time of goals you rose to meet that night,"
"How does it feel to wake up knowing that you're playing on something
that could have been nothing but a sad, sad song,
about a group of kids who lost it all to the great, big city?"
"Are we both crazy?
Or are we searching for more than life behind the same four walls...
Pour me another drink I'll commit myself to it and lose track of reason to believe in nothing."
"Don't be afraid I've got your back when times get rough and bring you down...
Maybe you don't understand we've got to take this or break this off,
it's all up to us and you better believe..."
"Fuck regrets and lets burn this city down."
The Girl's A Straight-Up Hustler
"Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets,
coloring my senses cherry red; at least for this week...
Kisses under starry night skies, talked about in song,
we play along, so bitter sweet by our design."
"Take off your makeup and put down the camera,
choke on the drama that makes me want to,
tear up the pictures, the pages you've saved,
creating a life of trends and make believe..."
"I've got no place in my heart for a criminal like you to dwell."
I'm just delirious,
You can't be serious,
You're so infamous for leaving me a mess..."
"She gets what she wants and she breaks what she gets,
get out while you can or she'll tear you to pieces
"Are you having a good time sweetheart?"
"Carry on home,
I'll be waiting miles and miles away,
leaving you to be forever seventeen,
cleaning up the messes that you've made."
Sticks, Stones, And Techno
"You spin your words like a record in motion,
Step into the party, step out a commotion,
With stars in your eyes,
And with fire at your fingertips,
Burn down this city and everyone in it,
Singing, "Oh, we are the dancers!"
"Show me the skyline and I'll show you decadence,
A subtle reminder of hearts filled with loneliness."
"Rock and we roll over state-lines and dollar signs...
Oh, you dance like it's your job."
"Hey, kid, you've got, a lot of potential
but I think its time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound."
"Here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive;
