Used to think you'd save my life
But I don't think that anymore
Used to watch your soul shine
But I don't get that anymore
Used to never wonder why but now I'm lying on the floor
Yelling to thin air, ‘this is not what I signed up for’
While you were sleeping
I thought this out meticulously.
I'm so depleted I almost didn't say anything
Don’t wanna need it but it’s second nature
Used to think you'd save my life
But I don't think that anymore
Used to watch your soul shine
But I don't get that anymore
Used to never wonder why but now I'm lying on the floor
Yelling to thin air, ‘this is not what I signed up for’
Don’t wanna need it
But it’s second nature to me.
I couldn’t beat it
It outruns me so easily
I'm so depleted I almost said nothing.

We got off to a bad start.
Didn’t even notice that your heart
Was laying there on the blacktop
Just twitching with no sign it could stop
We got off to bad start.
We don’t know all the lines but we play the part
Makin cases to bruise hearts
Never broken but not filled to the top.
Get away from the stray gunfire, babe
You could stay, make a change but it’s still a shame.
On the train up in flames til the last stop
We got off to a bad start
We got off to a bad start
Take a minute and let think how this could smart.
It’ll do more than leave a mark
Change the picture for everyone involved
But it could for some great art
You know it and I know it
Get away from the stray gunfire, babe
You could stay, make a change but it’s still a shame.
On the train up in flames til the last stop
We got off to a bad start

Been awake for a week now baby
Capsizing the fleet, yeah maybe
Make it stop. Can't make it stop
Jackhammer in the streets all day
Couldn't catch but a wink for safety
Shake it off. Just shake it off.
We’re not trying to make the world a better place, evidently.
We’re just in it spinning around all day, consequently.
Ain't much of a change here lately
Settled in to a blissful day dreaming mode
Just keep em closed
Taking it to streets and maybe
We can make it thing and say we didn't know
How far we'd go
We’re not trying to make the world a better place, evidently.
We’re just in it spinning around all day, consequently.
Valentine
No one else but you when I’m just killing time
One foot then the other and we’ll be alright I know it
We’ll just stay off the road
Been a day for the books now baby
Someone's calling to make the movie
I would go. We both would go
We’re not trying to make the world a better place, evidently.
We’re just in it spinning around all day, consequently.
Valentine
No one else but you when I’m just killing time
One foot then the other and we’ll be alright I know it
We’ll just stay off the road
Valentine
Just one day a year that I can make you mine
We’ll stare down the fear and it’ll be alright I know it
We smile and we explode.

Lost, crippled, and made to suffer fools.
My friends been breaking every rule.
Fine time to make some new ones anyway.
You’re listening, I’m talking. Stay with me.
You say you’re taking me to school.
There’s nothing I can learn from you.
Fine lines in sand will show us what we need. One side’s the right one and one makes us bleed.
Do you deny what you believe
Is what you’re wearing on your sleeve?
You wouldn’t lie to me, would you?
So why are you lying to you?
Lines look like lanes to certain doom.
Do you deny what you believe
Is what you’re wearing on your sleeve?
You wouldn’t lie to me, would you?
So why are you lying to you?
