Never knew you were such a defeatist Is every regret worth repeating? You never learn in your state of grace and I think you know it I think you've come to far to fall Here we go again–time and time again A late night stand, a cigarette and an awkward stare It's never enough–you're never satisfied My friend you show it I think you throw it all away Hello, let's tie one on again You hate this place, you hate the life you're living in You'll never leave, you'll never change your life You know you know it I think you slept it all away WHOA - I think you slept it all away WHOA - I think about it every night and day "I think about it", she says Let's hear it for the drugs Let's hear it for the alcohol Let's hear it for surviving another summer in this city Never knew you were such a defeatist Is every regret worth repeating? You never learn in your state of grace and I think you know it I think you've come to far to fall WHOA - I think you throw it all away WHOA - I think about it every night and day WHOA - I think you throw it all away WHOA - "I think about it", she says WHOA - I think about it every night and day WHOA - "I think about it", she says WHOA - I think about it every night and day WHOA - "I think about it", she says

Last Love 03:29
There’s something in these words that makes me want to throw it all away and breath again, like lungs that haven’t been abused so long Can you please help me out? I am broken and full of doubt Last Love This is a call to you Can you hear me at night When you’re all alone Last Love Come and rescue me I am broken, I am beaten, I am bruise I’ll sit and wait, I’ll wait years, I’ll wait for you They say good things come to those who wait I’d been waiting for so long I can’t remember when It all when wrong and I lost the fight You came and took my pain away Last Love This is a call to you Can you hear me at night When you’re all alone Last Love Come and rescue me I am broken, I am beaten, I am bruise I’ll sit and wait, I’ll wait years, I’ll wait for you

On A Wire 01:55
Lately I've been feeling it I know you feel it too This tension is real This tension is everything I don't have to say No not a single word Every word is written across my face Motivation to keep going Take back all that's been stolen No matter how you crucify me Save your breath And just paint by numbers Lately I've been on a razor's edge On a wire, hanging on by a thread I don't wanna think about it I don't wanna think about anything I just wanna get fucked up And forget I exist Motivation to keep going Take back all that's been stolen No matter how you crucify me Save your breath And just paint by numbers Save your breath, your regret And just paint by numbers Save your breath, your regret Just paint by numbers

I know I said I won't let it bring me down I'm starting to dread putting you into the ground I hope the signal is coming in clear And if it's not, turn the dial Do you have what it takes to be alone After the sun has burned its lights out And the systems have all shut down I hope that this comes off sincere But the headlights are blinding, my dear... ...and you're not my fucking ally ...and you're not my fucking ally I wrote the perfect love note to leave on your broken windshield And you’ll ’ll recover the message from the bottom of the hudson bay, after they revive me Do you have what it takes to be alone After the sun has burned its lights out And the systems have all shut down Do you have what it takes to be alone After the sun has burned its lights out And the systems have all shut down I kept my eyes on the road But all the driving that i've done has gotten me nowhere Here's to the ending...

It’s a typical night and an ordinary day I’m here without you You’re so far away I wish I didn’t have to love you I wish I just didn’t care Now I’m sitting here without you and I wish I was there Every time you need me I’m never here I’m sure you’re tired of waiting I’m sure you’re tired of caring I can’t say I’m sorry enough But you’re so far away Even right here next to me I’d call you up but I’m afraid of what I’d say I might decide I need you I might be to high to say, I’d die for you… I’d die for you… Every time you need me I’m never here I’m sure you’re tired of waiting I’m sure you’re tired of caring I can’t say I’m sorry enough
