Saves The Day
Let me take this awkward saw
And run it against your thighs
Cut some flesh away
I'll carry this piece of you with me
Because all I can say tonight
is that I hate you
But it would be all right
If we could see each other sometime
If I could somehow make you mine
And if not I'll take my rusty spoons
And dig out your blue eyes
I'll swallow them down to my colon
They're gonna burn like hell tonight
Because you're beautiful
Just not on the inside
Light comes from within
And your beaming eyes don't seem so bright
My heart is on the floor
Why don't you step on it?
When I think of all the things you've done
Boardwalks and breaking waves
Made our Saturdays
I'd buy you lemonade right now
if you were here
But then I'd throw it in your face
And I'd listen to you cry
And I'd remember how I miss
our nights under ocean skies
You and I are like when fire
and the ocean floor collide.
The Last Song
The All American Rejects
This may be the last thing that i write for long
Can you hear me smiling when i sing this song, for you and only you
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now i'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up, let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,
that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
It seems so surreal, now I sing it.
Somehow I knew that it would be this way,
Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade.
Now I am gone, just try and stop me now.
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now i'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up, let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,
that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
Will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow
You want it too, I want it too.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,
that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope,
that you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song

Perfecting Loneliness
Jets To Brazil
I'm a long list with no time,
sunset panic on the street.
Sugar and light bulbs,
the milk of kindness is behind us now
With all those stones in
your coat.
Did you think they wouldn't know?
The tea leaves of trashed sheets,
dirty needles and sweets.
Zero to heaven in seven.
A lifetime. A nanosecond.
All the sand in your glass is going by so fast.
The radio is playing our tune.
I love it, could you turn it down?
The thought of you crying in my room.
I miss you, could you come around sometime?
When the night comes down,
the world becomes a room
under the microscope
with a lab coat and glue.
I'm fixing this hole
with everything I knew.
The music is making my head split.
I love it, could you turn it off?
The thought of you is tearing me in two.
I miss you, could you come around sometime?
This list is what went right.
Your name is written twice.
We live like astronauts
and our missions never cross.
The stakes are high.
We're standing by.
There used to be a hundred ways to put my arms around you.
Every one seemed new, natural, and true.
Perfecting loneliness 'till nothing's holding us.
Consider earth.
We could be the first.
(lyrics from Sing365)
Hands Down
dashboard confessional
Breathe in for luck breathe in so deep
this air is blessed you share with me
this night is wild so calm and dull
these hearts they race from self control
your legs are smooth as they graze mine
we're doing fine we're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy. My heart is
yours to fill or burst or break or bury or wear as
jewelery, which ever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted,
just lay entwined here undiscovered.
Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions..
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close
they can't hear, so we can get some.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy. My heart is
yours to fill or burst or break or bury or wear as
jewelery, which ever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we
realized it's so late and the walk that we shared
together.
The street was wet and the gate was locked
so I jumped it and let you in and you stood
at the door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me, like you meant it
and I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it, that you meant it,
and I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it.
(lyrics from Sing365)
You're the One I Want
jets to brazil
Blooming black flower wine.
Slashed arms and new cut smiles.
Taller for the falling down.
Stronger now without you around.
The prophecies were realized when we gave them proper time.
All truths come to light after lies have had their night.
And it's hard without you,
but it's harder not to doubt you when you're so polite.
I'm too uptight.
You've grown more beautiful since you took off.
What can I do?
I'm in love with you and it won't stop.
You're the one I want.
Cookie crumbs and alcohol.
Crooked hands, the band's on hold
'cause your shoulders make me old and your concerns...
they leave me cold.
And it's hard to leave you, but it's harder to believe you.
Harder to believe you when you smile crooked style.
You've grown more beautiful since you took off.
What can I do?
I'm in love with you and I can't stop.
What's best for everyone is bound to hurt somebody.
What's best for everyone is killing me.
Let me down. Set me down. Let me down easy.
Blood crushed from a clock.
I'm in love but we just talk and your teeth make me weak
and you're keeping them from me.
(lyrics from Sing365)
Without You
silverchair
Miles Away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out.
Old incisions refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees on a cloudy day
You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But I've waited for you so I'll keep crying out
Without You
Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out
Old incisions refusing to stay
Like sun through the trees on a cloudy day
You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But I've waited for you so I'll keep crying out
Without You
Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
False light and ashes
Blooming like winter
Dry eyes and cracked lips
Under the stone wall
Withdrawn and wishless
You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
But I've waited for you so I'll keep crying out
Without You
(lyrics from Sing365)
A Box Full Of Sharp Objects
the used
It's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
We've fallen in love
We've fallen in love
It was the best idea I ever had
Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful....
Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful THING!!!
Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful THING!!!
Do you want a song of glory?
WELL I'M FUCKING SCREAMING AT YOU!!!
It's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
We've fallen in love
We've fallen in love
It was the best idea I ever had!!!
Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful THING!!!

Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful thing...
Found a box of sharp objects what a beautiful

Buried Myself Alive
the used
You almost always pick the best times,
to drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm,
red flashing lights.
Well this time I'm not going to watch myself die.
I think I made it a game to play your game,
and let myself cry.
I buried myself alive on the inside,
so I could shut you out,
and let you go away for a long time.
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
I think the chain broke away,
and I felt it the day that I had my own time.
I took advantage of myself and felt fine,
but it was worth the night,
I caught an early flight and I made it home.
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that (2X)
with my foot on your neck,
I finally have you,
right where I want you (4X)
I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that (2X)
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that
NICER!!
NICER!!
(lyrics from Sing365)
The Taste Of Ink
the used
Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for a while now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see it
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And I'll savor every moment of this
as long as you're alive here i am
I promise I will take you there
as long as you're alive here i am
I promise I will take you there
And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see it
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
so here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
And I'll savor every moment of this
And I'll savor every moment of this

You're So Last Summer
taking back sunday
She said,
"Don't, Don't let it go to your head
Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
Boys like you are a dime a dozen"
She said,
"You're a touch overrated,
you're a lush and I hate it
but these grass stains on my knees
they won't mean a thing"
And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...
I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to
I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to
I'll do what I go to, the truth
is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt
And all I (all I)
Need to know (need to know)
Is that I'm something you'll be missing
(is that I'm something that you're missing)
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
(maybe I should hate for this)
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that...
Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name
Cause I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar

Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team)
taking back sunday
Your lipstick, his collar.. don't bother Angel
I know exactly what goes on
When everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your floor)
Me face down, down across your floor
(me face down, down across your floor)
Well just so long as this thing's loaded
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This song was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This song was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
let's go...
Don't bother trying to explain Angel
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and
How about I'm outside of your window
(how about I'm outside of your window)
Watchin him keep the details covered
You're such a sucker (you're such a sucker)
for a sweet talker, yeah
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head,
this song was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
(the only thing that I regret is that I, I never let you hold me back)
And will you tell all your friends
you've got your gun to my head
This song was only wishful thinkin,
this all was only wishful thinkin
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I wil never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you never loved me
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know...
Why can't I feel anything
from anyone other than you?
Why can't I feel anything
from anyone other than you?
And all of this was all your fault
And all of this
(I stay jealous)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life
(she'll destroy us all before she's through
and find a way to blame somebody else)
I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
for this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind
as something larger than life!

Between You and Me
the ataris
Won't you come over?
You know that you want to.
How does it feel to know
I still want you?
Why do we always seem,
To want what we can't have?
Lessons learned.
But then I listen to my heart,
And it says still run back for more.
I'm happy for you.
I'm sure that he really loves you.
But it breaks my heart,
To know I can't hold you.
It's just hard to think
I'll never get the chance
To say your mine.
But every time you hear this song
You'll know you've made a mark
On my heart and my mind.
(lyrics from TheAtaris)
Bad Case of Broken Heart
the ataris
today I'm missing something
in this small new england town.
here's to you my best friend.
just wanted to say that I miss
having you around.
I'm staring at your picture
and dreaming that I could hold your hand.
we'd walk down to the ocean
and I would write your name in the sand.
they say sometimes you need some time apart
but I've got a bad case of broken heart.
and you're the only one who's got the cure.
and I can't live another day without seeing you smile.
2000 miles between us and I guess that I'm the one to blame.
relationships and heartaches,
these two things are one and the same.
the radio plays a love song.
I smash my fist right through the dial.
here's to the broken hearted.
a generation born in denial.
(lyrics from TheAtaris)
Perfection Through Silence
finch
Alone at last, together in a photograph
our eyes are always open, devoted to perfection through silence
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
The story is old, only to those who have no mold
The truth can be bought or sold
But what are we buying?
Nothing but silence
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
Fold the corners, break the silence
Fold the corners, just for tonight
When weakened, when will you rise?
(lyrics from Sing365)
What It Is To Burn
finch
Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still...
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy, from the sun
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside
So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
Today is fine, and she burns
Today is fine, and she burns
She burns
Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
(lyrics from Sing365)
Letters To You
finch
Can't you see that I wanna be
There with open arms
It's empty tonight and I'm all alone
Get me through this one
Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to, so far away
I want you to know that..
I miss you
I miss you so
I'm writing again these letters to you
Aren't much I know
But I'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart
Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to, so far away
I want you to know that..
I miss you
I miss you so
(lyrics from Sing365)
Without You Here
finch
The storm is bad tonight,
So how could I awake without you here?
Your picture's on the wall,
You haven't called
But I'll wait for you
To her own reflection, she says, "I will hold on"
To her own reflection, she says, "I will be strong"
The storm is letting up,
But it won't die
If you weren't right was I?
Your picture still remains,
But I wonder are you still the same?
To her own reflection, she says, "I will hold on"
To her own reflection, she says, "I will be strong"
Am I losing you?
I've waited, I've waited til it's over
It's over now
(lyrics from Sing365)
Three Simple Words
finch
Open up my eyes, flooded with daylight
Another sleepless night turns color black and white
With all the things I've said
There is just regret, repeating in my head
Hands into a fist, static in my head
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness
What did I expect, did I see forever in you?
I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Time to close my eyes, forget about this mess
And try to fix this tragic loss of innocence
But how can I forget, the things I have inside
When everything is dead?
I never want it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me on my own
Give me one good reason why I should let go
With my hands around your neck
Who will stop me now?
(lyrics from Sing365)
Stay With Me
finch
Once again your eyes make it hard to say goodbye
So I'll just keep driving
Where do you wanna go?
It doesn't really matter, as long as you are here with me
There's something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive
What were the words that you said to me
That made me feel so special?
Once again your eyes, make it hard to ask you why
So I sit here knuckles tight
Hands against the wheel, your head against the glass
And you mean so much to me
There's something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive
What were the words that you said to me
That made me feel so special?
Stay with me
Cigarettes and open air, hand in hand
Stay with me
Every star that I see is brighter than the last
(lyrics from Sing365)
