Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued

Brothers and sisters - put this record down

Take my advice 'cause we are bad news

We will leave you high and dry

It's not worth the hearing you'll lose

It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless

The ribbon on my wrist says "Do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best

We're only good for the latest trend

We're only good so you can have almost famous friends

Besides we've got such good fashion sense

Brothers and sisters - put these words down

Into your notebook, spit lines like these:

"We're good friends only when you're on your knees"

Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless

The ribbon on my wrist says "Do not open before Christmas"

We're only liars, but we're the best

We're only good for the latest trend

We're only good so you can have almost famous friends

Besides we've got such good fashion sense

We're only liars, but we're the best

We're only good for the latest trend

We're only liars, but we're the best

We're only good for the latest trend

We're only good so you can have almost famous friends

Besides we've got such good fashion sense

Of All The Gin Joints In All The World

You only hold me hup like this
'Cause you don't know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it's like to be you
We're making out inside crashed cars
We're sleeping through all our memories
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
(now I only waste my time dreaming of you)

Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
All of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
like I'll never be the same

You only hold me hup like this
'Cause you don't know who I really am
I used to waste my time (x3) dreaming of being alive
(now I only waste my time dreaming of you)

Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
All of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
like I'll never be the same

I've got headaches and bad luck but they couldn't touch you (x2)

I'm not trying
you only hold me up like this

Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness

All of our moves make up for the silence

And oh, the way your makeup stains

like I'll never be the same

Dance, Dance

She says she's no good

with words but I'm worse

Barely stuttered out,

"A joke of a romantic", or just stuck to my tongue

Weighed down with words too over-dramatic

tonight it's "I can't get much worse" vs "no one should ever feel like...."

I'm two quarters and a heart down

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds

these words are all I have so I'll write them

So you need them just to get by

Dance, Dance

We're falling apart to half time

Dance, Dance

And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance,

This is the way they'd love

if they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you're found out

Drink up it's last call, last resort but only the first mistake

I'm two quarters and a heart down

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds

these words are all Ihave so I'll writte them

So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine

you've been saving for his mattress, love

Dance, Dance

We're falling apart to half time

Dance, Dance

And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance,

This is the way they'd love

if they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine

you've been saving for his mattress,

I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, Dance

We're falling apart to half time

Dance, Dance

And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance,

This is the way they'd love

if they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance (x4)

Sugar, We're Goin Down

Am I more than you bargained for yet

I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear

That's just who I am this week

Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum

I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song

Drop a heart and break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round

and sugar we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex

Cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet?

Oh, don't mind me. I'm watching you two from the closet

Wishing to be the friction in his jeans

Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him

I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song

Drop a heart and break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round

and sugar we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex

Cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round

and sugar we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex

Cock it and pull it

(We're going down, down

Take aim at myself, take back what you said)

Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

Drink down that gin and kerosene

And come spit on bridges with me

Just to keep us warm

And light a match and leave me be

And light a match and leave me

I keep my jealousie close because

It's all mine

If you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

I keep my jealousie close because

It's all mine

If you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying

Drink down that gin and kerosene

And come spit on bridges with me

Just to keep us warm

And light a match and leave me be

And light a match and leave me

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

So wear me like a locket around your throat

I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke

you look so good in blue

So wear me like a locket around your throat

I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke

you look so good in blue

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

Keep quiet

Nothing come as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake

(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea

That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth

(Summer Song)

Joke me something awful just like kisses

on the necks of "just friends"

We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
And never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me

Please put the doctor on the phone

 because I'm not making any sense
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me
to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me

7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)

I'm sleeping my way out of this one

With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type

Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

Sophomore Slump Or Comeback

Of The Year

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

Cause I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears, put them on ice
cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to help us bend your trust
I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie",
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
(x2)

Are we growing up or just going down?
Are we growing up or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

 Champagne For My Real Friends,

 Real Pain For My Sham

Friends

You are a getaway car, a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror, you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt

(make my ears hurt)
Oh yeah, you caught me. But I caught you one worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war."
But who are you fighting for?
The tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water

With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, we're friends
Just because we move units

Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

Everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame

 I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy

 And All I Got Was This Stupid Song

 Written About Me

I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older

I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write

 of hearts, lies, and friends

(refrain x2)
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails

and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself

They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death

(refrain x2)
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you

I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older

(refrain x2)
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up

A Little Less Sixteen Candles,

 a Little More "Touch Me"

I confess, I'm just messed up
dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around
And I know you dressed up
said "hey kid you'll never live this down"

'Cause you're just the girl all the boys want to dance with
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

Write me off, give up on me
Cause darling, what did you expect
I'm just off a lost cause
a long shot, don't even take this bet

You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights
Get all the sighs and the moans just right

I'm sleeping on your folk's porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said, "Why don't you just drop dead?"

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

(always on, always on)
You said you'd keep me honest
(always on, always on)
But I won't call you on it
(always on, always on)

I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
So say, what are you waiting for?
Kiss her, kiss her
I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late


I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late

Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying

 (Do Your Part To Save

 The Scene And Stop Going To Shows)

This has been said so many times

 that I'm not sure if it matters
But we never stood a chance
And I'm not sure if it matters
If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons
I’m mailing letters to addresses in a ghost town
(your secret's out)

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out

 and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter

This has been said so many times

 that I'm not sure if it matters
But it must be said again

 that all us boys are just screaming
Into microphones for attention
Because we're just so bored
We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts
(your secret's out)

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out

 and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't matter

I used to obsess over living,
Now I only obsess over you
Tell me you'd like boys like me better
In the dark lying on top of you
This has been said so many times

 that I'm not sure if it matters (x4)

I know this hurts, it was meant to (it was meant to)
Your secret's out

 and the best part is it isn't even a good one
And it's mind over you don't, don't, don't, don't matter

From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How my worst fears are letting out
He said why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address
On the same old loneliness
And this is you and me
And me and you
Until we've got nothing left

XO

I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
"To I swear, I say"
"To I swear, I say"

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say (I say, I say, I say)
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both
Love never wanted me

"I hoped you choked
And crashed your car"
Hey "tear catcher", that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say
I swear, I say

To hands between legs, to "whatever it takes"
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stairs to the emergency exit door

To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose love or sympathy
But never both, no

To the love I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)

To the love I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyholes I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
To the love I left my conscience pressed (x3)

Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
"What did it ever do for me" I say
