VERSE:
Take me down to your level
Oh you know it’s unstable up here from the way you move
So give me something to hold on to
No I’ve never been one to give in but there’s just something about you
VERSE:
So come on up we can make head room
In this room for one bedroom you know that we can make room for two
So if you’re good then I’m better
With us just never leaving this room
PRE CHORUS:
But your past fowl plays from your earlier days has left you all alone
CHORUS:
Put me in I (x2)
Just to let you know (x2)
That I wont let you go
Just to let you know
VERSE:
Walk me around your neighborhood fortune
The small steps we go through are bigger then they seem
Step right up and face the attraction
Your overreaction is as useless as can be
BRIDGE:
I know were short on time I know we’ve got to work soon
The 9 to 5 push through to the moment I can see you
CHORUS:
Put me in I (x2)
Just to let you know (x2)
That I wont let you go
Just to let you know

VERSE:
You never said (x2)
You were the one to play with fire
But when there’s no clear evidence of who shot first and who’s the lair
CHORUS:
I know your motive to well
I know you kiss and then you tell
So don’t start a fire if your not going to put it out
VERSE:
With no intent to make amends
You play coy to keep it quiet
Your pointing fingers at whoevers near, you start a slow and steady riot
CHORUS:
I know your motive to well
I know you kiss and then you tell
So don’t start a fire if your not going to put it out
BRIDGE:
Let it burn till’ everything you said you once loved is gone
Put the blame on your self this time and there wont be any need to spark at all
CHORUS:
I know your motive to well
I know you kiss and then you tell
So don’t start a fire if your not going to put it out

My Apartment

|

VERSE:
Slowly walking down the stairs and I’m watching every step
With a dizzy mind and a clumsy mouth I read the note that she left
It said I wont for get you
No I wont forget you
VERSE:
I’ve been making plans just to keep you out of my head
But I guess I can’t get mad over things that were never said
So I hope you regret everything that you do
You say that your fine but I’m nothing without you
CHORUS:
So ill walk home alone again
Six steps to my apartment
I’ve never been good but I’m getting there (x2)
VERSE:
And I think I may need more then just a level head
Give up give in to your incompetence? No ill sleep it off instead
So I hope you regret everything you put me through
This time ill be fine, ill be something without you
CHORUS:
So ill walk home alone again
Six steps to my apartment
I’ve never been good but I’m getting there (x2)
BRIDGE:
So can we just move on?
I’m sure we’ve both got better things to do
But ill still spend the rest of my summer
Hating myself over you
CHORUS:
So ill walk home alone again
Six steps to my apartment

Coat Check

INTRO:
I needed time to see this one through
Before I gave into you, before I gave in.
VERSE:
Its sad now I know I don’t need time but if I could just rewind
But I know you’ll never give into me once again
You’ll pack up and cut loose ends just like you do
PRE CHORUS:
But now I’m feeling the way the way you felt for me and I’m finding it hard too
CHORUS:
Make up pretend to make amends
I don’t know why you’re gunnin’ for me (x2)
VERSE:
At the coat check you left me hanging, you put it all away but your still demanding
That you and me should get together soon, but I know you wont give in so easily
CHORUS:
Make up pretend to make amends
I don’t know why you’re gunnin’ for me (x2)

Blindly Optimistic
03:27
|
|||
VERSE:
She’ll be staying out until 3
Smoking cigarettes to pass the time
But these lights feel like home to her
I just hope they don’t go out to leave her breathless hanging on every word
VERSE:
And she’ll split into two
No she can’t decide or pick and choose because either way she don’t got time for you
But these lights feel like home to her
I just hope they don’t go out to leave her homeless strung out and confused
CHORUS:
And maybe she’s just blindly optimistic to me
She’s self-destructive from a distance oh you’ll see
And maybe she’s just blindly optimistic to me
But they daylight passes through her window left alone with the same old excuse
VERSE:
And it’s hard to relate
Just to every small and past mistake with another one waiting to take its place
But these streets make it easier
To pull the plug and pin, leave behind the safeness of skin you were in.
VERSE:
And when you finally get home
Take a breath and catch some rest, wipe the smell of smoke off your clothes
But your view of a home has changed
Pack up leave with no notice because these streets beat being homeless again.
CHORUS:
And maybe she’s just blindly optimistic to me
She’s self-destructive from a distance oh you’ll see
And maybe she’s just blindly optimistic to me
But they daylight passes through her window left alone with the same old excuse

VERSE:
I like to think of us alone from time to time
Oh wont you answer the phone, ill be on the other line
It just seems so much easier in summer time
VERSE:
And I know just as the seasons change we’ll grow apart
Your feeling old at 23 but still young at heart
It just feels like Ive wasted all my summer time
PRE CHORUS:
But I guess it doesn’t always feel right, so I must be doing something wrong
I’ve got my brain working over time, overtime for nothing at all
But you say you want a change
CHORUS:
I cant stand this weather, endless winters getting old
A difference in age never stopped anyone before
Abroad and distant makes me miss this even more
VERSE:
I’m heading south to Eglington West and it don’t feel the same
But it guess its neither of our faults ive never been one to place blame
I think of it with you in mind
VERSE:
Two becomes one again as we’re home for fall
Silently hating all the leaves as they graze my lawn
But ill think of you another time
PRE CHORUS:
But I guess it doesn’t always feel right, so I must be doing something wrong
I’ve got my brain working over time, overtime for nothing at all
But you say you want a change
CHORUS:
I cant stand this weather, endless winters getting old
A difference in age never stopped anyone before
Abroad and distant makes me miss this even more
