"Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't"
i am heaven sent,
don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..
i hope this song starts a craze.
the kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
the kind of song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.
this is war.
every line is about,
who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something
they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh its so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
cuz you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and its all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldnt stop if i could.
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
oh, so let it go..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.
this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason your alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe.
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe, in us.

"Stop And Say You Love Me"
Hey listen, because I'll only say this once
Do you think that you could lose yourself in me?
I could say I want to die by your side one day
But I could never speak the words
Because they haven't wrote the words that mean enough to me
So together we can burn this way
Burn this way...
Stop and say you love me, always, I'll say the same to you
I found a loop hole for us now
It's called redemption of my history
Do you think you could look past my fears
Tell me now my love
Because I will lose it in your eyes, I see firelight in your eyes
I know that things will be better when you are by my side
By my side...
Stop and say you love me, always, I'll say the same to you
Stop and say you love me, always, I'll say the same to you
I'm guarded, I'm fragile, but if anyone could ever save me now, you can
And you can...
Stop and say you love me, always, I'll say the same to you
Stop and say you love me, always, I'll say the same to you
Are you strong enough? am I enough?
Are you strong enough to say you love me?
"Eclipsed"
We love our tragedies.
We're both broken in our own little ways
We're broken, but we fit together just right
You know I saw the black inside your eyes
I saw they were eclipsed by mine and they looked just right.
[Chorus:]
When our lights meet, will you know me then
And will you want to know it?
It feels like I've known you for so long.
When our lights meet, will you love me then
and will you ever know it?
It seems like you've known me for so long.
I love your analogies.
We're both crazy in our own little ways
We talk about the future and our past lives.
I know I loved you then.
I know I'd love you now.
I know I'll love you then.
I know I love you now.
[Chorus]
But you can't have everything you want when you want it.
I will be everything you want, when you want it.
Wait for me. Trust for me.
Fall for me. Even when you don't know you're falling for me.
Will you fall for it? If it should, it'll come around again.
But don't wait for me. And don't trust in me. Don't fall me.
Even when you know you're falling for me.
[Chorus]
When our hearts meet, will we make it then.
Will we even notice that they are eclipsed?
"The Promise And The Threat"
They won't want you for who you are
So you should step outside your skin
Something tells me, that we were meant to be
But how can that be?
You run on evil, I run on fumes and stale air,
when she came out , she brought her anger, she left her sympathy
Behind the walls she built for me
So we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might become the promise
I want you for who you are
So you can stay inside your skin
Ohhhh something tells me love isn't enough
But how can that be?
You're not so evil, I'm not so good
Crazy or mean, so we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might be come the threat
She's so dramatic shes says I'm leaving, is that a promise or a threat?
So we start spinning
You wouldn't want to let us go easy
Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning
You wouldn't want to let him down easy
Or he just might become, the one you want
I am the voice you'll never get
I am the one
I am the promise and the threat.

Now does that sound familiar?
Kiss the boy and make him feel this way

You have been so ugly your entire life
So why change now?

And now the old things will pass away
I saw your light once
Did you see mine?
But not all things will pass away
You turned your light off
So I turned mine, away from your sadness, away from the nothing that you feel for me
Is this how you want to go down?
Right before my eyes, you are the saddest sight, I know
You're so quiet and you never make a sound

THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS
"Straitjacket feeling"
Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it's stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you're the problem and you can't feel
Try this on, straitjacket feeling
so maybe I won't be alone
Take back now, my life you're stealing
Yesterday was hell
But today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is tearing holes in me again
Trust you is just one defense
off a list of others, you don't make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can't win
Take back now, my life you're stealing
Yesterday was hell
But today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you
And when that memory slips away
There'll be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away
Yesterday was hell
But today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all I ever thought you'd be
That face is tearing holes in me
but today I'm fine without you
Run away this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you
DISTURBED
"Guarded"
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
Why does it sound like the devil is laughing
Leaving me haunted tonight
You did decide
Now I want you, when you're gone, and now it's like
You're holding something just in front of me
Well then, I can't allow this to become another
One of those times that I'm left in the cold, dead
There's no compromise
Just another tie
I know I need to sever
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
Why does it sound like the devil is laughing
Leaving me haunted tonight
You did decide
Ever haunted, by the trappings of this life
Sweet redemption, just in front of me
Well now, it seems once again that I've lost another
One of the one's that have broke through the wall
Damned
Fate won't compromise
I have sold my soul,
And now the devil's laughing
You did decide
You were bold and strong, and ready to begin your life
All for nothing, you were sacrificed
You began alone, and so it will be when you die
All for nothing, will you be remembered?
You did decide
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
So now you know why the devil is laughing
He left you with nothing tonight
You did decide
