Do You Want Me (Dead?)

"I let it ride on a bad bet
I doubled down on a sinking ship
I need a second to catch my breath
Do you want me
Or do you want me dead?"

"Oh, give it up for at least a second
I'm getting sick of your bullshit attitude
And how you walk around like you shine brighter
It's killing me"

"I've got my hands up
I'm staring down the barrel of a loaded night."

"Trigger-happy at harbor side
You're taking shots at the strangers passing
There's no such thing as a perfect crime
Don't play that."

"I'm dead set on a getaway."

I Feel Like Dancin'

"Shawty said she wants to run away,
Says I look like a boy she used to date (Ha!).
Took me by the hand and pulled me to the stairs,
(I’m NOT interested, girl)"

"Put her tongue all up in my ear, (Gross!)
Almost made me spill my beer, (Oh Shit!)
She’s up and ready to go, but I don’t care."

"I feel like dancing tonight,
I’m gonna party like it’s my civil right.
(Everybody get kinda awesome)
It doesn't matter where, I don't care if people state,
cause I feel like dancing tonight."

"Everybody getting kind of crunk,
I think some dude just grabbed my junk, (Woah!)
Now I know how Ke$ha must be feelin’,"
(Like... what if we're the aliens?)

"Somebody call the police, (Woo-oooh!)
I think they’re coming to get me,
They say: “You’ve got the right to remain on the dance floor”,
So show us what you've got 'cause you know that you've got more."

Forget About It

"You are a hand full of roses
Thorns and a cheap bouquet.
True, I'm a walking disaster
They told you to stay away"

"Seems like I'm making
A deal with the devil
Who's whispering softly to me
"Are you sure that she's the one?"

"Walk the tight rope
To hold on to you."

"You are a shining example
Of why I don't sleep at all."

"Talking in circles and
Chasing a tale of
Love-drawn distant memory
Am I sure that she's the one?"

"You know...
There are some days where I really feel
Like this could work;
Like you and I are finally gonna get it right.
Then there are days like today,
When you make me,
Wanna tear my fucking hair out."

Guts

"Shooting for the stars
Desperately reaching
For something in the dark
Pictures of memories
Buried in my heart
Lie awake and dream of
The endless possibilities
Catch my breath and go for it."

"Take apart
Everything that's
Holding me down
Make a point
To pick a new direction
To make a new connection."

"Feels like
Breaking out
When I can
Give up my reputation
Finally,
I can see
Honestly, I've got the guts
To say anything."

"I walk as they crawl
Slowing down
It's such a waste of
Time to let go
Tapping my fingers
To the rhythm of a metronome
Counting opportunities."

"Take apart
The gravity
That's holding me down
Make a point
To find a resolution
To be my own solution."

Time Bomb

"From the get-go I knew this was hard to hold
Like a crash the whole thing spun out of control
Oh, on a wire, we were dancing
Two kids no consequences
Pull the trigger, without thinking
There's only one way down this road."

"It was like a time bomb set into motion
We knew that we were destined to explode
And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you go
We're like a time bomb
Gonna lose it, let's defuse it
Baby, we're like a time bomb
But I need it
Wouldn't have it any other way."

"Well there's no way out of this
So let's stay in
Every storm that comes,
Also comes to an end.
Oh resistance is useless
Just two kids stupid and fearless
Like a bullet shooting a livestock
There's only one way down this road."

"Got my heart in your hands, like a time bomb ticking
It goes off, we start again
When it breaks, we fix it
Got your heart in my hands, like a time bomb ticking
We should know better,
But we won't let go."

"And if I have to pull you out of the wreckage
You know I'm never gonna let you let me go."

Just The Way I'm Not

"I'm a waste of chances,
Full of bad romances,
Your favorite enemy,
And your most hated friend."

"When it's broke it's perfect."

"Woah oh!
Never seem to please you, no,
Don't you ever let me go,
I know your heart is shut, shut, shut.
And don't you know,
Nothing's gonna change us.
Girl, all because I like you just the way you aren't,
And you like me just the way I'm not."

"You're a classic case of,
Foolish, young and in love,
But you don't even know what love could do to us.
We are brash and reckless,
Made of glass and careless,
We break apart the moment we both feel too much."

"Opposites distract,
We fall between the cracks,
Forget about each other 'til we get each other back."

Under a Paper Moon

"Baby, don't yell
You're tearing a hole right through the walls
Of everything we used to know
I'm building a place, something amazing
Just for the sake of saving us
From under the sun
Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run
We're rolling the dice on whatever's left
'Cause God only knows that we could use the rest..."

"Baby, don't fret
At least we're alive with just enough breath
To truly despise the hills in the carpet
Knots in the ties that bind us so tightly to our waking lives
I'll build up a house, I'll build up an army
Of cellophane soliders--cheap origami
To take back a piece of whatever's left
Of that little box that beats in your chest."

Return The Favor

"Oh no,
Look what you've done
Left me
The victim of a hit and run
Picked up and let down
You were never as you led on."

"You said just friends and no strings
But that leaves loose ends for old flings
Get back to old days and old flames
You never let burn out."

"How do I get away?
When you're begging me to stay
What do you need me to say?
You're anything but ordinary."

"Did you forget what I said
Trainwreck, here we,
Here we go again
Derailed, did I fail
To mention
I put it on the line."

"I mean it's all pretend
And the game should end
I guess nobody wins.
(Won't you let me know?)"

No Idea

"I was dreaming we were running
From a city burning,
Down, down, down
Made a break, a new escape
And let the world crash
Down, down, down,"

"Because everytime
You come around
Love, you take my breath away."

"Get a grip
Slip and trip
Over clumsy careless
Words, words, words
Paper thin fingerprints
Under softly spoken
Verse, verse, verse."

A Daydream Away

"I wish you could see your face right now
'Cause you're grinning like a fool."

"It doesn't matter when we get back
To doing what we do
'Cause right now could last forever
Just as long as I'm with you."

"You're just a daydream away
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you
And I'll keep you a daydream away
Just watch from a safe place
So I never have to lose."

"We would go out on the weekend
To escape our busy lives
And we'd laugh at all the douche-bag guys
Chasing down their desperate wives."

"We never stood a chance out there
Shooting love in real-time
So we'll take it over ice tonight
With a little salt
And a little lime."

That Girl

"What I am supposed to do, uh oh
When she's so damn cold, like twenty below?
That girl, that girl, she's such a bitch
But I tell myself I can handle it."

"Started with a bottle of cheap champagne
Now she's got me hooked on it like good cocaine
She's so numb, Miss Novocaine
That girl,"

"Said, "No, kid, not tonight
You're not that good, and I'm not that type"
She's beautiful, but she's cold as ice
And that keeps me hanging on."

"That girl, that girl, she's such a trick
But I can't lie
I'm in love with it
That girl,"

"Left me on the street in the middle of winter
My frostbite heart says, "Try to forget her"
Miss that kiss, but I'll always remember
That girl,"

"Sit around waiting for the spark to fade
You can add another face to your pity parade
I can't believe it
I've never felt so cheated
Knock me down
It was all pretend
You set me back up just to do it again
You say love's overrated
I say it's complicated.

Heroes

"Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
Not gonna talk about you over and over and over
Not gonna file you under latest nostalgia
Or happily ever after."

"Not gonna listen to your played-out songs
Don't wanna think about you over and over and over
Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trendy blog
I want nothing to do with that
Cause you've made a mess of everything
(And I'm not listening)."

"You're not a hero, you're a liar
You're not a savior, you're a vampire
Sucking the life out of all the friends you've ever known
You're just a train wreck, not a winner
Up on your soapbox, preaching down to the sinners
The saints without a cause
We're not listening."

"I'm gonna start a revolution
Of convoluted disillusion
(Start a revolution)
I'll lead a war with no conclusion
And in my final hour, I'll be a confident coward."

"Cause if we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything."

"Cause it's a battlefield till it blows over
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
We're throwing stones though we live in glass houses
We talk shit like it's a cross to bear
You're only relevant until you get older."

Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

"I've been played a fool four, three, too many times and
When did lust for you become an organized crime?
I tried to keep you honest, babe, but I was just a pawn
You played the part so well, it hurts to know you're gone."

"Did you mean it? Could you feel it when you broke into my head?
Did you fake it just to break another stranger in your bed?
Was it worth it? Was it perfect when you up and left me cynical?
Like you planned it, you're a bandit.
Just a no good, two-bit, filthy, rotten criminal."

"I couldn't keep you honest, babe, 'cause I was just a card you played
The draw so well, it hurts to know you're gone, you're gone, you're gone."

My Only One (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

"Paint yourself a picture, something perfectly obscure
To hide away the messes behind your manicure
And all of my obsessing to find the perfect words
Sick of second guessing, I didn't mean to make you hurt
Didn't mean to make you hurt, hurt, hurt."

"What do you say when your heart's not in it, your heart's not in it?
What do you do when you just don't get it, you just don't get it?
Where do you go when you reach your limit, you reach your limit?
'Cause all I know, all I know is
You are my only one, you are my only one
You are my only one, that's all I know, you're all I know."

"Break another mirror to keep away the stares
Of another guilty reflex, a reflection left in tears
And all of my obsessing, tell me what was it worth?"

"So wake me, early I've been dreaming
Dreaming that I'm only, only good enough for me and no one else."

Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

"You told me I was lucky,
To have my chance with you.
Now last year's summer romance,
Is this year's winter blues."

"Now I hope you're happy with yourself,
'Cause I'm not laughing
Don't you think it's kind of crappy
What you did this holiday?
When I gave you my heart,
You ripped it apart
Like wrapping paper trash
So I wrote you a song,
Hope that you sing along
And it goes,
"Merry Christmas, kiss my ass!""

"They say I'm losing my mind,
I thought that for a while,
I tear down decorations
They remind me of your smile.
I hate that mistletoe,
It makes me think of our first kiss,
You bit my lip, you pulled me close,
And then you taught me how to quit."

"So sick of calling,
You won't telephone me,
No, fuck you girl, I'm going out.
I gave you my all,
But our love hit a wall, now,
I'm jingle belling,
And everyone's yelling,
We'll drink 'til the bars shut us down.
Ain't that just what Christmas is all about?"

""Merry Christmas, (bitch), kiss my ass."

Bad Enough For You (ITunes Deluxe Bonus Track)

"I'll misbehave if it turns you on
No Mr. Right if you want Mr. Wrong
I'll tell you lies
If you don't like the truth
I don't wanna be bad
I just wanna be bad enough for you."

"Hey, thanks for the number
I'm not gonna call you
'Cause that won't work
You like to play hide-and-go-get-her
You like me better when I play the jerk."

"You love to hate me when I'm chasing you
And I hate to say this but I'm stuck on loving you
So I pretend that I don't care
I'll stand you up to keep you here
I'll make you hate me just enough to make you want me."
