Story of the Year~"Swallow the Knife"
So our open wounds will bleed
Until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn
And tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agreed to disagree
Your connected to the heart
But tonight we'll set you free
So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again
Even now as i write this down
All pretensions disappear
Now our impulses will bite
At the ankles of our fear
So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again
Words are spoken
Words are broken down
So lets make this night be our best mistake
So lets take the time to wipe the blood away
Now our hands are tied
And our world is caving in
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night
To start over again
Now our hands are tied
And the problems lie within
Words are spoken
Words are broken
Broken Down
The Get Up Kids~"I'll Catch You"
Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time?
An unspokenbalance here,
Unabridged for so many years
That i sould stare atreceivers to receive her isn't fair
Don't worry i'll catch you
Don't ever worry
Your arms in mine, anytime
I wouldn't trade anything
You're still my everything
To my surprise, before my eyes, you arrive
I'm still breaking old hapits when you pulled the wool over me
I can see everything, remembering "jinx removing"
No need for reminding... you're still all that matters to me
The get up kids~"How Long Is Too Long"
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
I keep tripping over hints
I keep spilling every secret
Without spilling any secrets at all
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Did the issue go this far?
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
I know it's not a fault
Though I really have to wonder
If you'd ever set the standard without help
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Made up
You win
I'm lost
Give in
To each
Their own
With all their sins
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
OK if you like The Get Up Kids go get their songs Im not gonna put anymore lyrics from them in here:-P
Dashboard Confessionals~"As Lovers Go"
she said "i've gotta be honest,
you're wasteing your time if you're fishing round here."
and i said "you must be mistaken,
cause i'm not fooling...this feeling is real"
she said...she said "you gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?
"No, you've got wits, you've got looks,
you've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."
all wrong.
all wrong.
but you got me...
i'll be true, i'll be useful...
i'll be cavalier...i'll be yours my dear.
and i'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through.
this is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating.
and this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?
and i said "i've gotta be honest
i've been waiting for you all my life."
for so long i thought i was asylum bound,
but just seeing you makes me think twice.
and being with you here makes me sane,
i fear i'll go crazy if you leave my side.
you've got wits...you've got looks,
you've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?
tonight.
tonight.
but you've got me...
i'll be true, i'll be useful...
i'll be cavalier...i'll be yours my dear.
and i'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through.
this is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating.
