Bitter Scene

Why I'm stuck here waiting for you?
No reason why
There's no reason why!
There's nothing left in this whole town
I'll show you why, or I'll just leave you on your own
decomposing self, my weekend's turning out cold
left it on the shelf, this story's getting so old
I know that you're leaving all your friends behind
they hope that you won't look back and maybe you'll die
it hurts to say you're not even a memory
don't leave this way, or we'll end up a bitter scene
twenty-two and now, you've got the whole world hanging on a thread
you're dangling it around
but there's nothing more I can say
you're on your own, you're going your own way
decomposing self, my weekend's turning out cold
left it on the shelf, this story's getting so old
I know that you're leaving all your friends behind
they hope that you won't look back and maybe you'll die
it hurts to say you're not even a memory
don't leave this way, or we'll end up a bitter scene
WE WALK IT OFF AND WE THINK IT OVER (2X)
(Chorus Mashup)
I know that you're leaving all your friends behind.

Days We'd Take Over

Please, won't you take me down to
the moment when I fell
you never caught me,
I guess it's all the same
and when you leave,
won't you please just take it slow?
Take me back to those long days when
we'd lay in bed forever
hope the days would never end
and we'd wash our cares and our broken dreams
right down the drain.
Just wear that little black dress you have
I swear I won't be a gentleman
Oh, I'll just take every word
every single thought for granted
You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend (3x)
you were my best friend 'til the end.
All the whiskey bottles,
they fill my bedroom up
and I can't swallow another sip of it
I'm just so hollow
I thought I told you about the days we knew
we were taking over
But you move faster
that's why I never asked her out
so I stayed cast in the shadows
where you left me begging
left me hanging on a wire
I swear I'll never get used to you
or all the drama that you put me through
oh, I'll just stand back
and watch insanity cover you.
You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend
you were my best friend until the end
you were my best friend
you were my best friend until the end.
Well I bleed forever
only the second time it's taken this long to
dry itself up and I can't ask for anyone
or anything in the end.
Take me back to those long days
when we'd lay in bed forever
hope the days would never ever end
and we'd wash our cares right down the drain
down the drain
You know we'll live forever
through all these memories
never meant shit to me.
I guess that's all well and
fine in the end
you'll never get my sympathy
you were my best friend.

Frenemies (Hey Kevin!)

I wonder when I can get up from the floor?
Cus I'm tired of screaming, not sleeping or dreaming
so done with tying together reasons that you're with him
YOU'RE WITH HIM!
And not breathing at all
this time I'll be the one who's leaving through the back door
it's locked, so deceiving.
just like the glares and stares you're saving for me
aren't you?
So tell me when
when I say "Oh My God, I need another shot!"
These aren't the kids that'll stick up for you
in a fight, they're the same idiots that catch you out
wasted, alone, and kicking you while you're down
but I don't understand a thing that you're saying
nothing's making sense, it's all just a game
and I'll be sure to knock your teeth out to keep as a trophy
So tell me when
when I say "Oh My God, I need another shot!"
Yeah, tell me when
when I say "Oh My God, I need another shot to the head!"
this town is deceiving
nobody is leaving
they're raising their kids in houses
and I don't wanna be a part of it.
But what do I do when I get so weighed down
with the worries of the world crashing down on me?
Well, I don't see an escape.
This can't be my fate, is it?
So tell me when
when I say "Oh My God, I need another shot!"
Yeah, tell me when
when I say "OH MY GOD, I need another shot to the head!"
So tell me when
when I say "Oh My God, I need another shot to the head!"

Knows No Hope

You don't call, you don't write
all alone in bed tonight
I've got cares, couldn't care less
of all the suitors that you confess
I have a dollar each gentleman caller
that's knocking on your door tonight
knows no better, it's okay girl,
bite down on your lip. It'll be alright
Stumbling through the streets at 2am from the bar
I've never felt so alone
I tripped and never fell so far
You'll never be more than a girl with good eyes and bad conversation
Chicago, where we find ourselves out alone
wasteful youth and wasted nights,
I'd never call this place my own
where you don't know the sound of your own voice
well I'm an ignorant boy, and you're just the second to last choice
Take it easy, don't make this sleazy
taking a good thing. Turning it bad.
I certainly meant to be more deceptive,
but I guess this is all I have.
My palms are sweating with anticipation
of watching you fall on black ice
that I laid out for you to be on the roads tonight
Stumbling through the streets at 2am from the bar
I've never felt so alone
I tripped and gained a trophy scar.
You'll never be more than a girl with good eyes and bad conversation
Chicago, where we find ourselves out alone
wasteful youth and wasted nights,
I'd never call this place my own
where you don't know the sound of your own voice
well I'm an ignorant boy, and you're just the second to last choice
I'm stumbling through the streets of a city
I feel I'll never know, I know no hope (2x)
Chicago, where we find ourselves out alone
wasteful youth and wasted nights,
I'll always call this place my own
where you don't know the sound of your own voice
well I'm an ignorant boy, and you're still the second to last choice.

Benefits With Friends

I've grown accustomed to believe I'm an overachiever
actions that speak louder than words, I'm a believer
that things will come together in the end.
And just a little success is what I need to get started
make my way west and move through the departed
I'm making my presence known tonight.
take me sober, please take me home.
take me anywhere you go, I'm just anxious for the road
and one thing that I believe in is life's worth living
nobody is gonna hand it out to you
you gotta take it, kid you gotta grab the bull by the horns
yeah, we're friends, isn't that what got us here
haven't we made this all clear, no need to ever ever fear
we are friends isn't that what matters most in the end
I'm not riding any coat tails til I get my story out
let me know just where to go
you're the compass, I'm the vessel
let me show you what we do
I swear I'll make a believer out of you it's true
I've got a growing obsession I'm thinking about
how I'm gonna end up and I'm leaving without you now
I've never made a second guess
and now that all of my friends are coming home
I guess I've gotta leave, gonna hit the road
and I can't look back no I'm not looking back
there's nothing to see
we're still friends, isn't that what matters most
always at all of our shows
no one left out in the cold
cus we're still friends, isn't that what matters most
in the end I guess it's all irrelevant I can't get where we began
let me know just where to go
you're the compass, I'm the vessel
let me show you how we do
I will make a believer out of you it's true
(OHS)
THIS IS THE PART OF THE SONG
WHERE WE TALK ABOUT WHAT
MOVES US FORWARD AGAIN
IS IT MUSIC OR FRIENDS
CAN YOU SLEEP ON TWELVE COUCHES?
MAKE YOUR VANS INTO HOUSES?
IS IT WORTH IT TO YOU?
IS THIS WHAT YOU DEEM TRUE
THIS IS THE END.
