Verse:
Walking our way out, around the times we go again, like the rest
Remind me now my friend
Do the lights of New York dance for you and me?
You wanna say, You wanna say
Making our way out, I never thought that I would change, you say it’s all the same
Trying to forget, you say I’m just a man with regret
You wanna say, you wanna say
Chorus:
I could be back, a well timed attack
Another time then darling, your eyes wide open
Societies, brought down to their knees
Another girl with a story, run down in the city streets
Ask for more, act like you’re so sure
Another chance to break out, what’s your excuse now?
Held back from what’s behind the door
Not a care in the world, a girl that just unsure

Back For More

Verse:
Yeah, you're the only one that lays the pace
Back home, where the streets are your world, hiding from your face
When I call what are the odds you say, "I am graced"
I'm meant to do everything that you say
Pre-Chorus:
You're coming back for more
All alone on this long on windy road again
Try to find a better way to say that you're just a friend
Chorus:
Oh darling you just let me know
Come on to me and let me know
I'm tired of you just let me know
Verse:
Now you come back from your black parade
Wake up from your fairy tale charade
I can find a way, if I see your face
I'd like to meet you now
Running from a saint, just to hear a change
In the steps of what you arrange
Pre-Chorus:
You're coming back for more
All alone on this long on windy road again
Try to find a better way to say that you're just a friend
Chorus:
Oh darling you just let me know
Come on to me and let me know
I'm tired of you just let me know

Saccharine

Verse:
“Take my hand” she said, “oh, so please”
But when he said he’s fine, it came so naturally
She took the long way home, he took too blatantly
Mistake a rooster playing cards with Saccharine
Pre Chorus:
It’s something the night can’t find
Chorus:
House in the burbs, a mediocre bouquet of faking
Rainy little Sundays, and white picket Mondays
She said I was so vacant, but the moment was taken
Just a little at a time. You didn’t even want me for free.
Verse:
Sweet tooth tapestries and her daisy sheets
She’s melting wax to hide what he kept discrete
Pre Chorus:
It’s something the night can’t find
Chorus:
House in the burbs, a mediocre bouquet of faking
Rainy little Sundays, and white picket Mondays
She said I was so vacant, but the moment was taken
Just a little at a time. You didn’t even want me, crazy.
Final Chorus:
Just an hour away, a sixty minute delay of taking
Rainy little Sundays and white picket Monday’s
She said I was so vacant but I can’t complain, oh no
You didn’t even want me for free

Recreated Light

Verse:
I try,you know why?
I saw you inside
I’ll come, downtown
Where I won’t be found
And I’ll forget it I won’t be concerned
With that one touch, one touch from your heart
Try to believe it when I supersede ya
When I get down, get down from this height
Chorus:
Like the night, I try to pull you here inside
I can lie, don’t pour that glass of old red wine
My desire, in my shirt she wore to bed last night
Above the pain, against the grain
Verse:
Stay here, am I clear
Why face, your fears
Look down, at this town
Tell me, are you proud?
And you’ll be saddened by this fate attraction
Cause I won’t stop, won’t stop with your heart
I run from the, the thought of ya
Last time, last time I saw ya

Verse:
I don’t mind that you’re a midnight sky
Of a purple mess, what’s inside my head
And I don’t mind that, yeah you talked too much
Yeah you talked too much, when we said goodbye
Pre Chorus:
Something’s waiting on my tongue
Waiting on the alcohol and cigarettes
I want a west coast paperback kind of girl
That doesn’t just see her world, when she shuts her eyes.
Chorus:
I wanna see thrift shop souvenirs from every little town
When we meet in New York City and the lights
Taking time from everything
Verse:
I don’t mind that, yeah the train came late
Singing Clapton vibes, with an old suitcase
And I don’t mind that, yeah we’re in too deep
Cause we’re on our own, fucking empty headed
Pre Chorus:
Something’s waiting on my tongue
Waiting on the alcohol and cigarettes
Someday I’ll come back to bed
With my own certainty.
Chorus:
I wanna see thrift shop souvenirs from every little town
When we meet in New York City and the lights
Taking time from everything
Outro:
I thought, I thought you'd be something
I thought you'd be somewhere
I thought you'd be happy
I thought, I thought you'd be something
I thought you'd be somewhere
Somewhere else, but here

Soldiers

Verse:
I’m not one to say, “I know, you tried.”
Finding our friends, let’s catch a lie
Speak softly, “Away with you.” he preached.
Getting older and so weak
Pre Chorus:
She said, “You’re in my world now.”
Passing corners I’ve been before
But now you’re tired and close you see
Oh my darling, you’re nothing without me
Chorus:
And they’re walking out together like soldiers
Picking up things that they never told ya
Wondering if I should even bore ya
Keeping things in my hands, you sold her
What these things are you’d never solve it
Just put it in your mind that we’re all for it
Like the arms of a good little soldier
They weren’t there to even show ya
Verse:
Try to take a break from all the fun
Cheap cry for call girls, you raised me one
Looking back, was only seventeen
Now things really are what they seem
Pre Chorus:
She said, “Now I know the time.”
“Come on boy, there’s room for you inside.”
Sometimes friends will play the game
Only winners will make the change
Chorus:
And they’re walking out together like soldiers
Picking up things that they never told ya
Wondering if I should even bore ya
Keeping things in my hands, you sold her
What these things are you’d never solve it
Just put it in your mind that we’re all for it
Like the arms of a good little soldier
They weren’t there to even show ya
Get me out, get me out

Verse 1:
Come inside, I want you to be the fire in my eyes, fight it through
See you like it, like it
What’s the call? Is it me and you?
Will you head out to the car, what’s killing you?
Can you like it? What if?
Pre Chorus:
You see it’s all, all the same
You realize what’s today
I think in time you’ll be fine, say it’s all right
Yeah you try, for your game
It’s not what I’d said to blame
I wanna see you like it, yeah you like it
Verse 2:
Home in time what will you do? Will it make sense at all to those watching you?
“Are you afraid?”, they say
Found it all with no plan to rise above the cause they’re sick of you
And we’re chased away, like dogs of youth
Pre Chorus:
You see it’s all, all the same
You realize what’s today
I think in time you’ll be fine, say it’s all right
Yeah you try, for your game
It’s not what I’d said to blame
I wanna see you like it, yeah you like it
Chorus:
Come inside with all that sunshine
That want to be undefined, and you’ll
All try to be reconciled, with your
Heads high look at all that style, for your
Fake lives when you all combine, can you
Read the lines between your two eyes, could it
Be all concise and conspired. Will you
Feed the lies and help me find it
(Feed the lies and run this time)

Verse:
What’s said, a fire’s burning in your heart
“I’ll make your dreams a reality”
Come down the stairs with open arms
Trying to find what was wrong
Chorus:
Oh why is it so hard to see, that one and one is you and me
And all I said was, “How’s it been?” and now it seems my day is spent
From all the tears and laugh and highs, oh silly me it was that other guy
It seems to me when we really try, the difference is just you and I
Verse:
No chance, I see there is more room inside
All things great till I catch your eyes
Look back on an empty house with lights left on
Trying to find what went wrong
Bridge:
Told me that I wanted it
I really don’t forget it
Looking back at all I can
I heard it all again
Making fun of all of them
I can’t cut ties with them
Surely won’t be on the run
You tried it once
Chorus:
Oh why is it so hard to see, that one and one is you and me
And all I said was, “How’s it been?” and you reach out to hold my hand
And I’ll sit here and play pretend even though I know what they all have said
I should’ve just had said goodbye. It turns out we didn’t see eye to eye

West Side Story

Verse:
Well it’s hard to start that fire
The kind I see in your eyes
Time is for the master
Don’t even think of blinking twice
All you see is behind the lines
One look back at mother
A step towards your desire
All you see is behind the lines
Chorus:
Well it started at the rooftop bar, will it go all night
Courting on the other side, are you sure you’re right?
I don’t wanna say it, I don’t wanna say. But you like it, yeah
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it tonight
Running 'round the same place all the time
Verse:
Well now it’s all part of this plan
To be with him again
Finding a way to escape, all of the choices you made
Is it enough to see it dead?
All you see is behind the lines
Forget what has been said
I’ll never see you again
All you see is behind the lines
Chorus:
Well it started at the rooftop bar, will it go all night
Courting on the other side, are you sure you’re right
I don't wanna say it, I don't wanna say it, but you like it
I don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it tonight
Running 'round the same place all the time

Newport

Verse:
You say that I’m not the problem
A cold heart, a champagne glass with broken ties
A girl with that golden smile
A beach blonde with pale blue eyes
You say that I’m not a fighter
Alone again where’d you go when I went to bed
Summer nights they go, back to where they’re from
A memory back in your arms
Chorus:
Can’t you see, it’s been a long two weeks when they say
“You’re too pretty to cry here tonight”
I guess, it’s like the rest of us when they say
“You’re too pretty to cry here tonight”
Verse:
You say that I’m just a glimmer
You turn to look but there’s no one here now that I’m gone
Took the time to say, “What could I erase?”
Now that I see you even more
Chorus:
Can’t you see, it’s been a long two weeks when they say
“You’re too pretty to cry here tonight”
I guess, it’s like the rest of us when they say
“You’re too pretty to cry here tonight”
I guess, it’s like the rest
When they tell you I’ll be back now
Bridge:
I’ll wait again
For that night to end, you saw me
Standing here
Where’s your fear?

What's Changed?

Verse:
Says it all the time, why not make it mine?
Trust me I’m just fine, there’s something that’s not right
I wanna make it, yeah make it, I’ll make it
Yeah I won’t be the same thing, the faking, is making me feel so strange
Pre Chorus:
And thanks for all of nothing
To realize they weren’t providing
And the people were so insane
But girl, they’re here for me
Chorus:
I’ll be here for you
You know it too
I’ll pay the tab, call a cab
Get a room for two
Verse:
Look me in the eye, enticing a cold goodbye
Creating what we say, but why even make the change?
I wanna make it, yeah make it, I’ll make it
Yeah I won’t be the same thing, the faking, is making me feel so strange
Pre Chorus:
And thanks for all of nothing
To realize they weren’t providing
And the people were so insane
But girl, they’re here for me
Chorus:
I’ll be here for you
You know it too
I’ll pay the tab, call a cab
Get a room for two
