Don't be late
I cannot wait to wear you out
Do I care
Or am I scared of losing out
And I won't be here when you wake, my dear
I'll have started a new sort of life
A brilliant, lonely blue life
Try to find a way
To love yourself
My love
For in a dream
I walked along the road
Alone
And I'll be alright
But I will not sleep tonight
All I see is your eyes
Those brilliant, lonely blue eyes

Lately you seem to be in a mood
Hate me through to the weekend
I'm due for a little respect
I've got a big heart
I've got a pretty face and I'm pretty damn smart
Let's go out with a bang
I'm down to go hang around
With those kids who never look down
They grow down
Let's go fight adulthood tonight
Give' em all the hell that we got inside us
Let's go blow my paycheck on a ride
I'd give my life to hear you laugh one last
Time to get loud, turn into a crowd
Let's grow up as the city burns down and
Bathe in the light, life is all right
Let's find love in all the wrong places
You're killing me
Walk me home or I'll end up alone
I sleep at night with the telephone
And wonder how it is that I could ever grow
So damn attached to a heart I don't know
Can't believe this could happen to me
Look at who I am and who I could be
They tell me all that matters is how I feel
As the years go by and the life gets real
Let's go fight adulthood tonight
Give' em all the hell that we got inside us
Let's go blow my paycheck on a ride
I'd give my life to hear you laugh one last
Time to get loud, turn into a crowd
Let's grow up as the city burns down and
Bathe in the light, life is all right
Let's find love in all the wrong places
Let's go down to zombie China town
Let's make out on the dirty ground
And yell at each other for what we've been missing
Time spent apart when we could've been kissing
Set the fuse, we got nothing to lose
I'll live forever if I go with you
Let's find hope in each other's faces
Let's find love in all the wrong places

We will not wear our coats
In the yard it's snowing
And I want a weak excuse
For the hand I'm holding
You look up into my eyes
And we speak without a sound
Fall on my thin wrists
Feeling for the love I never found
We do just as we're told
In my heart I'm reaching
Out for some weak excuse
But it makes no difference
Your family is breaking you
And I'm a phantom reaching
Out just to fall right through
All this love I'm feeling
Someday you'll think of me
As a dreamchild running
Up across the TV screen
And you'll spill your coffee
My new friends are changing me
And you're a phantom reaching
Back for a faded piece
Of all the love I'm feeling
If you wanted love, all you needed to
Say is "you love me and baby I love you"
If you wanted love, why'd you waste my time
Burning out my mind till I was all hollow?
If you wanted love, all you needed to
Say is "you love me and baby I love you"
If you wanted love, why'd you waste my time
Building up my mind till I was all hollow?

Take a different name
Time will show you the way to fall apart
In your new city
Life devotion to reaching for the stars
Dust in the streets
I've had enough for one sitting
So sing your favorite song
Time will show you the way to fall apart
It shouldn't be long
Now till all of our hopes are up and gone
Dust in the streets
I've had enough for one sitting
And this time it could be in the day
That you find the one
And they'll know what to say
So you won't have to work up the nerve
Just to hold your breath as you cross the room
And you'll smile at their smile
So take a different name
Time will show you the way to rise above
In your new city
Crap apartments and waiting on our loves
We're dust in the streets
We're drifting through space
Sing your favorite song
Life will show you the way to rise above
It shouldn't be long
Now till all of our time is up and gone
We're dust in the streets
We're drifting through space
For roaches with dreams
It's a beautiful place

For You

Some keep secrets
Some keep freedom
Some keep romance
In their bras
Please stay happy
Please don't leave me
Shadow in the mirror
All for you
For you, for you
For you
For you, for you
You don't need me
You don't love me
You've just fallen for
The thought
Losing weight in mid-September
Zombie in the bathroom stall
For you
For you, for you
For you
For you, for you
Still can't take your mother's cooking
Burned myself when you weren't looking
Paint my face till you can't see me
See just what it is you want
Tell myself that you don't want her
Never told you bout our daughter
Armies now, of skeletons
With blonde hair, blue eyes, begging
All for you
For you, for you
For you
For you, for you
For you
All the hurt in my head
All the blood on the floor
All the weeks in bed
I did it all for you
All the steel in my veins
All the locks on the door
All the gallons of pain
I did it all for you
All the sleepless nights
All the "give me more"s
All the "is this right"s
I did it all for you
All the miles from home
All the love in the war
All the feeling alone
I did it all for you

I think we need some sleep
Much more than anything
And yeah we need to talk
But maybe talk can wait
I'm sorta getting tired
Of all the blue parades
But I know what it's all about
And I don't wanna freak you out
Tell me all about the boys
Faces beyond the doors that I can't get into
Tell me more about the nights
Sex under pretty lights
Ask me if I feel you
Cuz you know what it's all about
And I don't wanna freak you out
I think we need some time
Much more than anything
I know we need a lot
But maybe he could wait
I've been feeling sicker
Almost every single day
I know what it's all about
And I don't wanna freak you out
So tell me all about the boys
Faces beyond the doors that I can't get into
Tell me all about the nights
Sex under pretty lights
Ask me if I feel you
Maybe I'll tell you about the girls
living in a different world than the one I'm used to
tell you all about the drinks
lean into the bathroom sink
and I think I miss you
but you know what it's all about
and I don't wanna freak you out
So tell me all about the boys
faces beyond the doors that I can't get into
and I'll tell you all about the drinks
lean into the bathroom sink
and I think I miss you

Was a wild crowd
But it's over now
And I get so down
That I tell myself
No, I won't miss her
'Cause I once was softer
But you stop me cold
And you lean in close
And you whisper words
I forget now but they were clever
And you lead me on
But it makes me strong
And I sing out a verse
I forget now but it had power
Was a graceless year
And it's left me here
In this hollow hell
Where I tell myself
That I won't miss her
Cause I once was kinder
But you stop me cold
And you lean in close
And you whisper words
I forget now but they were clever
And you lead me on
But it makes me strong
And I sing out a verse
I forget now but it had power
I don't wanna be graceless
Schemed all year to touch your lips
But when I did it was tasteless
I've got something under me
Baby can you take it
I'll remember this night for years
But do you know what my name is?
