Afraid Of Ghosts lyrics - Butch Walker
well there’s a man
who dips his feet in holy water
and so he throws the rest of his body in
says it’ll take more than wading
to keep the memories fading
I’m at least up to my neck in sin
he said I’m coming to terms with a ghost
learning to deal
I’m gonna take what scares me the most
and turn it into something real
I try to go to the hospice every Friday
Sit in traffic, thicker than blood
Try to know a man that I never really knew
And swim away from a forty year flood
and I’m coming to terms with a ghost
learning to deal
I’m gonna take just what scares me the most
and turn it into something real
Sometimes she takes a little longer getting ready
to pretend there's someone to show
did she ever find love
or did this town have enough
I kinda bet, she’ll never let you know
but i can tell from the caked on powdered makeup
covering wrinkles from smoking away tears
she wants it either way
and I want so bad to say
love yourself for once my dear
she said...
I bet she’s coming to terms with a ghost
learning to deal
gonna take just what scares her the most
turn it into something real
I Love You lyrics - Butch Walker
It was a different time
I had others to make up my mind
That and nothing ever seems as kind
As you saying hi
And I still can see your home
I know we walked that line
Of when we stopped being friends
And you became mine
We said until our lives would ever end
I can still see your grin
A ray through the dirt in the hole
No one ever warned me
How hard it is to do
Lie myself through lovers
Cheat my way through school
Nothing ever will be quite as true
Like the way that I love you
I love you
Ohh I know I take things hard
But ohhh this was all that I was living for
Nothing ever will be quite as true
As the way that I love you
I'm staring at my feet
Inside the concrete they poured
On our street
My name just under yours
And I feel fine
Although I'm not fine
When are you coming home
If I could do it over
Before your time was through
I’d take back every lie I spoke
And the hell I put you through
Nothing ever will be quite as true
Like the way that I love you
I love you
Chrissie Hynde lyrics - Butch Walker
Look at you standing there
high as hell, on the roof
wind blowing hair into your mouth
and no shoes on your toes
Look at me sitting here
grin all on my face
That time will soon erase
When they tell me time to go
All I got right now
Is all I want
Chrissie Hynde singing through
a blown dash speaker
About Ohio
all she wants right now
is to be the way it was
the same as when you and me were one
Maybe 10 years or so
I’ll make a better road
find who you really know
behind these bloody eyes
and you’ll be the queen of this town
maybe meet another fool
send kids off to school
too late for me to try but…
All I got right now
Is all I want
Chrissie Hynde singing through
a blown dash speaker
About Ohio
all she wants right now
is to be the way it was
the same as when you and me were one
Still Drunk lyrics - Butch Walker
“It's my way or the subway..”, the taxi driver said
But I had a king's hangover the size of an elephant’s head
“...so you can either spend your 30 bucks
Or be here left for dead..”
The light turned red
I hadn't seen her face since the Internet became a thing
I used to write her dirty letters
Sometimes she'd write back to me
We had sex on a brick wall of the public library
For all to see
...in 93
And I'm not still drunk
I can say it with a straight face
That I still find love
On a TV in a dark place
And I know it'll come
That feeling back to me
But until it does forgetting you is only a memory
Well she's drinking less and smoking more
Looks good for her age
But I can tell there’s been some sad times
From the hard lines on her face
And just the way she said “I’ll get the check”
I could tell she wasn’t used to that…..
And I'm not still drunk
I can say it with a straight face
That I still find love
In a black room with a briefcase
And I know it'll come
That feeling back to me
But until it does forgetting you is only a memory
And I fall victim to these serpentines
Their writhing bodies break my knees
I let them do just what they please
With me, it’s hard to fight
I swear upon my daddy’s grave
I can get it right
I still drive up and down the coast and people watch
Every now and again
See the backs of couple’s heads as they face the water
For the love they just fell in
Or the love one just fell out of
Brother I know where you’ve been
Where have I been?
Cuz I’m still drunk
But I can say it with a straight face
That I still find love
Even with these lines on my face
And I know it'll come
That feeling back to me
But until it does forgetting you is only a memory
Is only a memory
Only a memory
How Are Things, Love? lyrics - Butch Walker
1,2,3,4
When you walked into living room
And your eyes were living proof
You've done all you could
And you were finally sick of me
And there was nothing I could be
To make you feel good
As you take off from your nest
I thought I could love you best
Before you go
How are things, love?
Since something stole our love
Did you ever feel the sting love
Is it any of the above, love
I hope you're well
There's a picture of us with our kid
In my wallet that I keep hid
So I don't have to explain
There's a little pill next to that
That I take in case I have
To do so... Oh oh....
I will pick him up by 2
I know there's a lot you gotta do
Before he goes....
How are things, love?
Is the new guy everything love
Does it feel like you're in chains love
Is it all of the above, love
I hope you're well
And of all the weight on my chest
One thing I never did best
Was love you
How are things, love?
Did you get rid of the ring love?
Do you ever think of me love
I do all the above, love
I hope you're well...
Bed On Fire lyrics - Butch Walker
And oh, you've got a lot of nerve
Making me want you so bad
You never make this easier
So hard to have
And you know you never will know this
But you are already my kill
So baby, fire at will
Gonna take you down, over my knees
Make that sound, make you seize
Untie your hair, let it fall
Like morning rain
Bed on fire, love in flames
A hundred times
Make you say my name
Lay in shock with me til the darkness ends
Then do it again
You walk right by me every day
And you leave me for dead
A puddle of my sweat you're standing in
Water of my sin
And you know you never will know this
But you are already my kill
So baby, fire at will
Gonna take you down, over my knees
Make that sound, make you seize
Untie your hair, let it fall
Like morning rain
Bed on fire, love in flames
A hundred times, make you say my name
Lay in shock with me til the darkness ends
And I'll do it again
Gonna take you down, over my knees
Make that sound, make you seize
Untie your hair, let it fall
Like morning rain
Bed on fire, a love in flames
A hundred times, make you say my name
Lay in shock with me til the darkness ends
And I'll do it again
21+ lyrics - Butch Walker
Well, I married the short girl at a spring break ball
Been looking at the ceiling on the floor of my car
She got me a job taking memories to the trash
21 and over, yeah, it happens real fast
Well, we had our first baby, and I spent my last dime
Trying to grow a lot of clothes and keep them growing at a time
Sitting after my shift
The drinks are free, but I'm not
I'll tell you what I will be, if I ever grow up
I'm gonna get out of town that drowns everything I love
Come hell or high water, gunna leave here when I'm sober
I don't want to be 21 and over
I spent the harder half of a life, trying to see where I went wrong
Get lost in the word of my own song
But life is too short, who would long to be
I'll tell you what I will be, if I ever grow up
I'm gonna get out of town that drowns everything I love
Come hell or high water, gunna leave here when I'm sober
I don't want to be 21 and over
Autumn Leaves lyrics - Butch Walker
Well I was never good at picking what to wear, for somebody else
This dress will go good with her hair
At least I think in this light
From the lamp beside this couch
With half the bulbs burnt out
I'm starting to know how that feels
Autumn leaves
Come back to you
Autumn leaves
You feelin blue
But when autumn leaves
Her love for me won't
Well the cancer got her good this time around
18 hours left before they put her in the ground
Was this the hand of god
That they talk about in church
If it is then it won't hurt
Only believers will know
Autumn leaves
Come back to you
Autumn leaves
You feelin blue
But when autumn leaves
Her love for me won't
There's a cold front that's headed for the town
This one will be rough
Some killers never make a sound....
They just walk up, take a knife to you and yours
Leave a message on my door
When I return to normal you’ll know
Autumn leaves
Come back to you
Autumn leaves
You feelin blue
Autumn leaves
What can I do
When autumn leaves
Her love for me won't
Father's Day lyrics - Butch Walker
The 15th of June
Came tumbling through the door
Your bedroom smelled like your cologne
I was laying on the floor
A thief in the middle of the night
If the night came to stay
I feel the walls go rumbling
Like the sound of your name
So here I am
All bittersweet and dirty feet
Runnin as fast as they can
Where do I go
Without you
Heaven only knows
Girls out on the corner
Smoking cigarettes
Ashes in the breeze blowing in their hair
Like something else to forget
Follow them down with your eyes
Til the covers slide off your face
I got this lack of motivation
Moving me all over the place
Here I am
All bittersweet and dirty feet
Runnin as fast as they can
Where do I go
Without you
Heaven only knows
Sunday morning, Father's Day
The first without my dad
As I look into my little boy's eyes
It takes all I have
Not to break down right in front of him when he smiles at me
You don't become a man
Until you lose your dad, you see
The Dark lyrics - Butch Walker
My favorite bike
Doesn't have a name
I'm just riding
I'm not running away
Heat from the engine
Diggin in my thighs
Into the dark
With my father at my side
My mirror is broken
I don't wanna look back
Just fell off
Didn't even crack
Pacific coast highway
Light on high
Into the dark
With my father at my side
Left hand on the clutch
Foot kicks it up
Give it all to my right hand
Gears grind and pop
Ain't running from nothing
Nothing on my mind
Into the black
With my father at my side
Battle Vs. The War lyrics - Butch Walker
Enemy lines
Drawn the same time
Who will lie?
Give it all back
Fade it to black
And watch it die
And you never see it coming
You just wave it good-bye
And it’s gone
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til I couldn’t anymore
I won the battle
But we lost the war
Pictures of life
Taken at night
With you blurred out
Funny some how,
I see it clear now
And hear the sounds
Of the trains at the station
Where I first picked you up
I let you down.
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til I couldn’t anymore
I won the battle
But we lost the war
So I’ll sing us down the river
We’ll pick up and carry on
Even though we never really knew what for
Took a good long look at failure
‘Til we couldn’t anymore
We won the battle
But we lost the war
Better Now lyrics - Butch Walker
(originally by Post Malone)
You prolly think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Oh-oh
I did not believe that it would end, no
Everything came second to the Benzo
You're not even speakin' to my friends, no
You knew all my uncles and my aunts though
Twenty candles, blow 'em out and open your eyes
We were lookin' forward to the rest of our lives
Used to keep my picture posted by your bedside
Now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like
And I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
With my brothers like it's [?]
Drinkin' whisky and I'm tryna forget
But I can't get this shit outta my head
You prolly think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Oh-oh
I seen you with your other dude
He seemed like he was pretty cool
I was so broken over you
Life it goes on, what can you do?
I just wonder what it's gonna take
Another house, another diamond ring
Because no matter how my life has changed
I keep on looking back on better days
You prolly think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Oh-oh
I promise
I swear to you, I'll be okay
You're only the love of my life
You prolly think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
Oh-oh
End Of The World (One More Time) lyrics - Butch Walker
One more time…
Something weird happened on the way to the store
Trying to buy a rifle and a record and more
Shocked like a cattle-prod
Hit me on the head
Like a premonition from a prophet in red
Sky rockets in sight
Get ready for a fight
Hey Hey!
It’s gonna get ugly like a hacked-off hand
For reaching for a little more than the common man
All in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Synchronized dancer’s like zombies in the street
Singing for a supper that you never wanna eat
Taking what they’re giving
But the giving is pissed
Looking at guitars
Like, “What the hell’s this?”
Sky rockets in flight
Get ready for a fight
Hey Hey!
I can see the headlines
Ain’t no joke
The party finally stopped
When the laptop broke
All in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Hey Hey!
Don’t worry ‘bout me
I’m doing just fine
Standing on the street corner
Flipping this sign
Working while the DJ drinks his wine
While an auto-pilot iPod
Shuffles in time
Sky rockets in sight
Get ready for the fight
We gotta go to battle
If we wanna win the war
Time to stop the party
When your hair gets sore
But all in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Hey Hey!
Eye Of The Tiger lyrics - Butch Walker
(originally by Survivor)
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for your glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye...
Open Happiness lyrics - Butch Walker (with Cee-Lo Green, Patrick Stump (from Fall Out Boy), Brendon Urie (from Panic! at the Disco), Travie McCoy (from Gym Class Heroes), Janelle Monáe, Polow Da Don)
Well hello, is this thing on?
Is anybody listening?
A brand new day has begun
The first thing that I want do
Make sure that you feel it too
So I'm not the only one
C'mon and lift me up, it's a brand new day
Open up a little happiness today
So I can be someone new (so I can be someone new)
C'mon and lift me up to a better way
Open up a smile on another face
So I can feel something new
Open up, open up some happiness [4x]
Ahem ahem
Let me clear my throat
So you can hear clearly every word spoke
Today I woke feeling lovely
Happiness overflowin' knowin' somebody loves me
Just think yesterday I was down and out
Now there's not a single thing for me to frown about
And the same thing can happen to you
Smiling so hard my mouth look like a capital "U"
Yeah, I want the sun to shine
All the time
Is that too much to ask
Oh, I want to have some fun
I want all my friends to come
'Cause it's now or never
Learn the words and sing together
C'mon and lift me up, it's a brand new day
Open up a little happiness today
So I can be someone new (so I can be someone new)
C'mon and lift me up to a better way
Open up a smile on another face
So I can feel something new
Your heart deserves your trust
A choice made by all of us
The sun will come back tomorrow
There's a message in the bottle
So come on I'll meet you there
There's enough sunshine to share
As long as you know
The bridge between us is a rainbow
C'mon and lift me up, it's a brand new day
Open up a little happiness today
So I can be someone new (so I can feel something new)
C'mon and lift me up to a better way
Open up a smile on another face
So I can feel something new
Open up, open up, open happiness
Open up, open up some happiness [3x]
Open up, open up, open happiness [6x]
Walkin' Back To Georgia lyrics - Butch Walker, Elizabeth Cook & Katie Pruitt
(originally by Jim Croce)
Well I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
All I own is on my back
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
Mmm...
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
She's the only one who knows
How it feels when you lose a dream
And how it feels when you dream alone
She's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
Mmm...
Georgia, can you hear me callin'?
I'll be home in just a while
And if I had to I'd be crawlin'
Just to share another mornin' smile
You're the girl who said you loved me
On that hot dusty long ago
And if you're still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
Mmm...
'Cause I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
All I own is on my back
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around, I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
Mmm...
Bodegas And Blood Lyrics – Butch Walker
Walking into a Bodega while she's cleaning out her nose
Stuck here in Kenmare square without a place to go
And it's a beautiful day
And she's a beautiful face
And she'll be fine
And the car wash water oozes down the sidewalk city street
Runs like the flow of blood from her legs down to the bathroom sink
And as she looks at the street
And then she looks at her feet
And she is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
And Mr. Harris runs the consignment store where she likes to get her jeans
He was a regular at studio 54 hanging out with the other queens
And he's the last of the five
To make it out alive
And he is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
Little girl, she was an orphan she lost her folks when she was young
Nobody never gave her nothing, she taught herself to get things done
But if she smiles at everyone
And she is made and loved
And we are fine
Yes we are
Oh and it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
Stuck here in Kenmare square without a place to go
And it's a beautiful day
And she's a beautiful face
And she'll be fine
And the car wash water oozes down the sidewalk city street
Runs like the flow of blood from her legs down to the bathroom sink
And as she looks at the street
And then she looks at her feet
And she is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
And Mr. Harris runs the consignment store where she likes to get her jeans
He was a regular at studio 54 hanging out with the other queens
And he's the last of the five
To make it out alive
And he is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
Little girl, she was an orphan she lost her folks when she was young
Nobody never gave her nothing, she taught herself to get things done
But if she smiles at everyone
And she is made and loved
And we are fine
Yes we are
Oh and it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
Every Single Body Else Lyrics – Butch Walker
I find you digging through the garbage like a homeless man
Like a Little Orphan Annie with a bud lite tan
One for the hangover
And two for when the morning comes
And we can watch another sunrise, holding hands
Like two kids we can sleep in the back of the van
Til the sun comes up again
Til the sun comes up again
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like every single body else
She's got eyes like a doll and a crocodile mouth
'Fore you ever say a word she thinks she knows what's coming out
Oh the things that I could show her
Oh the things I love to show her
(Take a solo for yourself)
'Cause Today we're alive
But tomorrow, we could die
But I live knowing that I love
And I'll die knowing that I've loved
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like every single body else
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like every single body else
Take it easy on yourself (Take it easy on yourself)
Take it easy on yourself (Take it easy on yourself)
Take it easy on yourself
Like a Little Orphan Annie with a bud lite tan
One for the hangover
And two for when the morning comes
And we can watch another sunrise, holding hands
Like two kids we can sleep in the back of the van
Til the sun comes up again
Til the sun comes up again
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like every single body else
She's got eyes like a doll and a crocodile mouth
'Fore you ever say a word she thinks she knows what's coming out
Oh the things that I could show her
Oh the things I love to show her
(Take a solo for yourself)
'Cause Today we're alive
But tomorrow, we could die
But I live knowing that I love
And I'll die knowing that I've loved
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like every single body else
(Take it easy on yourself) We were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like this
(Take it easy on yourself) And we were never meant to be like every single body else
Take it easy on yourself (Take it easy on yourself)
Take it easy on yourself (Take it easy on yourself)
Take it easy on yourself
Summer Of '89 Lyrics – Butch Walker
1, 2, 3...
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Changing strings
Banging on things
A couple of girls from the school
Would listen to KISS
With rockets for fists
Acting like Saturdays fools
Learned how to smoke
Told dirty jokes
Talked about loose girls from Rome
I made out with most of them
So I raised a toast to them
Especially now that I'm old
And they're 45 with husbands who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, make enough to survive
In their paper mill jobs
While their teen heartthrobs
Are playing in bands
Or they're dead
Can I go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done right or wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Smothering the cover of a '69 summer
Played through a speaker of fuzz
Nobody knew Bryan Adams wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was
Always heard the sound
Get me out of this town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
Ya know I'm pretty sure that he's dead
Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban cover band playing bad to the bone
In a bath tub of meth
You can smell your own death
You know when you can't look your past in the eye
Can I just go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something
And I could never do any wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Went back to the woods
Where I hid all my goods
In a rusted out Cadillac door
We all get nostalgic
And fall for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be like before
Like the football jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the stoners aping everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I played clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me leave when I wanted and I never got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the back of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and getting fucked
By a girl twice my age, making minimum wage
But the tan lines were good
And she had a good face
Is this what I've become?
Is this all I've become?
When do I become...?
I wanna go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners
Everyone was someone and
And I could never do any wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Changing strings
Banging on things
A couple of girls from the school
Would listen to KISS
With rockets for fists
Acting like Saturdays fools
Learned how to smoke
Told dirty jokes
Talked about loose girls from Rome
I made out with most of them
So I raised a toast to them
Especially now that I'm old
And they're 45 with husbands who don't like their wives
3 or 4 kids, make enough to survive
In their paper mill jobs
While their teen heartthrobs
Are playing in bands
Or they're dead
Can I go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something and
Nothing was done right or wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Smothering the cover of a '69 summer
Played through a speaker of fuzz
Nobody knew Bryan Adams wasn't cool
The TV just told me he was
Always heard the sound
Get me out of this town
Resonating clear in my head
Chuck ran away with our gear and the drugs
Ya know I'm pretty sure that he's dead
Or he's 46 and alone
Cast the heaviest stone
Suburban cover band playing bad to the bone
In a bath tub of meth
You can smell your own death
You know when you can't look your past in the eye
Can I just go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners?
Everyone was something
And I could never do any wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Went back to the woods
Where I hid all my goods
In a rusted out Cadillac door
We all get nostalgic
And fall for the hat trick
Of thinking it'll be like before
Like the football jocks
Trying to please their pops
And the stoners aping everything their bad uncles taught
And the teachers who cared
More than I ever knew
They knew I played clubs
Let me sleep through school
And my day job boss
Who wrote it up as a loss
But let me leave when I wanted and I never got caught
Sleeping out on the field
In the back of my truck
Breaking into the bars
Stealing the beer and getting fucked
By a girl twice my age, making minimum wage
But the tan lines were good
And she had a good face
Is this what I've become?
Is this all I've become?
When do I become...?
I wanna go back to when
I was the winner
Way before the rain came
And washed away the sinners
Everyone was someone and
And I could never do any wrong
Oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, ho, oh-oh, whoa
Sweethearts Lyrics – Butch Walker
What if we became sweethearts? (sweethearts)
After we got back to America (ooh)
We could start over with a clean start
Nobody'd have to take care of us
So I'd get a bad job maybe make a little money
Move out to the ocean where the weather's kinda sunny
Slow it down baby, start taking it day to day
What you say baby?
What if we became lovers? (lovers)
After we got back to America (ooh)
Make out on the lawn in the summers (summers)
Wave even at the neighbors who will stare at us
So without saying much you know you really say something
Hold me to your chest I can feel your heart jumping
Take it easy mama we can go about it casually
Now listen
I'd get a bad job maybe make a little money
Move out to the ocean where the weather's kinda sunny
Slow it down baby start it taking it day to day
Oh oh oh oh
Without saying much you know you're really saying something
Hold me to your chest 'cause I can feel your heart jumping
You and me mama, sweethearts finally
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah
(ooh)
Oooh
Yeah yeah yeah....
After we got back to America (ooh)
We could start over with a clean start
Nobody'd have to take care of us
So I'd get a bad job maybe make a little money
Move out to the ocean where the weather's kinda sunny
Slow it down baby, start taking it day to day
What you say baby?
What if we became lovers? (lovers)
After we got back to America (ooh)

You and me mama, sweethearts finally
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah
(ooh)
Oooh
Yeah yeah yeah....
Day Drunk Lyrics – Butch Walker
I got day drunk and watched as my city got younger
On the steps of the ford lofts across from the theatre
Where I was a contender now none of that matters
The kids have new heroes and new dreams to get shattered
I wouldn't change a thing about the way it went down
16 years of memories built on a town
That nobody will know just how a cool kid can drown
In a pool of his own hype and beer
Goodbye
It's the most perfect time and the weather is perfection
To watch as my father battles infection
My life in the dark is now bright as the reflection
The store window he worked '77
Now millions of snapshots will shoot through my brain
Push through the dark like that underground train
Just as real as the blood pumping fast through my veins
Just as real as I'm standing here
Goodbye
On the steps of the ford lofts across from the theatre
Where I was a contender now none of that matters
The kids have new heroes and new dreams to get shattered
I wouldn't change a thing about the way it went down
16 years of memories built on a town
That nobody will know just how a cool kid can drown
In a pool of his own hype and beer
Goodbye
It's the most perfect time and the weather is perfection
To watch as my father battles infection
My life in the dark is now bright as the reflection
The store window he worked '77
Now millions of snapshots will shoot through my brain
Push through the dark like that underground train
Just as real as the blood pumping fast through my veins
Just as real as I'm standing here
Goodbye
Synthesizers Lyrics – Butch Walker
Everybody's writing songs with synthesizers
But I don't have a synthesizer
I can still get down like
Duran Duran in 1985
I didn't name my band after an animal
I don't have any feathers or neon clothes
But I can stay out all night
Like Sacajawea in a paint fight
For once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big compromise
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
I don't have any friends at Pitchfork or NME
No sexy heroin addiction plaguing me
But I can still get down like
Frank Poncherello on a motor bike... that's right
Once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big compromise
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
For once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big thing to strike
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
But I don't have a synthesizer
I can still get down like
Duran Duran in 1985
I didn't name my band after an animal
I don't have any feathers or neon clothes
But I can stay out all night
Like Sacajawea in a paint fight
For once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big compromise
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
I don't have any friends at Pitchfork or NME
No sexy heroin addiction plaguing me
But I can still get down like
Frank Poncherello on a motor bike... that's right
Once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big compromise
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
For once, once in your life
Won't you do what feels right
Instead of waiting for the next big thing to strike
Stop running your mouth
Get out of the house
Get yourself downtown
And shake it all out tonight
Dublin Crow Lyrics – Butch Walker
un, deux, trois, quatre
Dublin Crow, Dublin crow
Tell me everything you know
show me all the life I've seen through your eyes
Take my soul, take my soul
Higher than you've every flown
Drop me right into the water from the sky
When I submerge up from the ocean covered in that muddy kelp
if I'm drowning please don't save me cuz I got to save myself
Fly back home to tell the others that I always needed help until today yea
And I'll finally find my way
English crow, English crow
Does the sunlight ever show?
There's been rain for 40 days inside my heart
Bitter cold, bitter cold
I just want the world to know
That I lost the finish line right from the start
Can you sing off my hangover?
Can you break away this crust?
For I am the weakest scarecrow in a field that's made of dust
For I promise if you help me to my feet to board the bus I'll leave today yea
And I'll finally find my way
Scottish crow, Scottish crow
Does this tattoo really show
That my bloodline has been your line all along?
And just when you think you know yourself
That's when you will outgrow.
And you'll settle in that tree where you belong.
Did I ever really know, God?
Was it just a lie or truth?
Was I raised to think that I would never ever lose my youth?
Well I thought that guns were made for killing pretty things like you...
I've got to say yea
That I've finally found my way.
Dublin Crow, Dublin crow
Tell me everything you know

Closest Thing To You I'm Gonna Find Lyrics – Butch Walker
California girls they have a way
Of moving their mouths just a certain way
Saying things that always seem so right
But when the shine wears off at the end of the day
I'm left with the tab and not a word to say
'Cause I see your face when they turn out my light
So I keep another night by this fire and drink some wine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
New York ladies that drive men crazy
Can't keep up I'm from the South and lazy
This town stays open too late for these old bones
And maybe it's because its got too many faces
Crammed like fishes in compact places
This is why all of them seem desperate and alone
So I pick back up the cigarettes but only for the night
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
Hey!
Georgia girls took all my pennies
Every time I come back I fall for many
Wake up and wonder why I ever left here
When we spend all night with a drink to the face
Get caught up in politics and race
I just smile and shove the cotton further down my ear
And my hands are full of the sticky sap from your backyard Georgia pine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find.
Of moving their mouths just a certain way
Saying things that always seem so right
But when the shine wears off at the end of the day
I'm left with the tab and not a word to say
'Cause I see your face when they turn out my light
So I keep another night by this fire and drink some wine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
New York ladies that drive men crazy
Can't keep up I'm from the South and lazy
This town stays open too late for these old bones
And maybe it's because its got too many faces
Crammed like fishes in compact places
This is why all of them seem desperate and alone
So I pick back up the cigarettes but only for the night
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
Hey!
Georgia girls took all my pennies
Every time I come back I fall for many
Wake up and wonder why I ever left here
When we spend all night with a drink to the face
Get caught up in politics and race
I just smile and shove the cotton further down my ear
And my hands are full of the sticky sap from your backyard Georgia pine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find.
Suckerpunch Lyrics – Butch Walker
Mouth full of blood and a missing tooth
That's what I get for telling the truth
Vison's blurry man I think I been hit
What the hell just happened, oh shit
I think I just been suckerpunched
Somebodys fist took my face to lunch
To tell the truth I can't remember that much
Goddammit I was suckerpunched
I had alot of thoughts while lyin' on the floor
Like I really couldn't take no shit no more
If i ever get up I'm gonna show him the door
Man I hope I said something really good just before...
I got suckerpunched
Somebodys fist took my face to lunch
To tell the truth I can't remember that much
Goddammit I was suckerpunched
This used to happen to my dad a bunch
He'd pop his mouth off a little too much
Some motherfucker bout as big as a bus
Serve him up with a suckerpunch
Now I'm tryin to get up
I'm on my hands and knees
Looking all over for my dignity
I saw him walkin' away from me
If I could only straighten up past 90 degrees...
I'd hit him with a suckerpunch
I'd take his motherfuckin' face to lunch
He won't be able to remember much
After I hit him with a suckerpunch
It's like my daddy told me told me more than once
Go have your fun but if it's a little too much
Stay on your toes and watch your back and such
Cause someone'll getcha with a suckerpunch
That's what I get for telling the truth
Vison's blurry man I think I been hit
What the hell just happened, oh shit
I think I just been suckerpunched
Somebodys fist took my face to lunch
To tell the truth I can't remember that much
Goddammit I was suckerpunched
I had alot of thoughts while lyin' on the floor
Like I really couldn't take no shit no more
If i ever get up I'm gonna show him the door
Man I hope I said something really good just before...
I got suckerpunched
Somebodys fist took my face to lunch
To tell the truth I can't remember that much
Goddammit I was suckerpunched
This used to happen to my dad a bunch
He'd pop his mouth off a little too much
Some motherfucker bout as big as a bus
Serve him up with a suckerpunch
Now I'm tryin to get up
I'm on my hands and knees
Looking all over for my dignity
I saw him walkin' away from me
If I could only straighten up past 90 degrees...
I'd hit him with a suckerpunch
I'd take his motherfuckin' face to lunch
He won't be able to remember much
After I hit him with a suckerpunch
It's like my daddy told me told me more than once
Go have your fun but if it's a little too much
Stay on your toes and watch your back and such
Cause someone'll getcha with a suckerpunch
Answering Machine Girl Lyrics – Butch Walker
I'm in love, love, love
With the girl that's on my voicemail
And I think I can't give up
Even though she dialed the wrong guy
I believe in something up above
That'll make her pick up just long enough to hear
I get home, home, home
Every afternoon to listen to
The voice on the telephone
Sayin' something about she's missing me
And I know, I know, I know
If she meant me it could grow so big from here
Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause
Don't hang up, up, up
I know that this is kind of weird
But tell me where did you grow up
Do you get high, do you drink beer
Are you married or live alone
Are you Beatles or The Stones, I have to know
Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause
One is the loneliest number
Tell me what combination breaks the spell I'm under
Hour after hour hidden somewhere undercover
If he ever called you back
Would you ever really want him
Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause
With the girl that's on my voicemail
And I think I can't give up
Even though she dialed the wrong guy
I believe in something up above
That'll make her pick up just long enough to hear
I get home, home, home
Every afternoon to listen to
The voice on the telephone
Sayin' something about she's missing me
And I know, I know, I know
If she meant me it could grow so big from here
Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause
Don't hang up, up, up
I know that this is kind of weird
But tell me where did you grow up
Do you get high, do you drink beer
Are you married or live alone
Are you Beatles or The Stones, I have to know
Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause

Tell me what combination breaks the spell I'm under
Hour after hour hidden somewhere undercover

Answering machine girl
Oh, what does it mean girl
Since you came in my world
Nothing's as it seems, your
Dialing a big hole inside my head
A rebel without a cause
Trash Day Lyrics – Butch Walker
Trash Day in Beverly Hills
All the sad little mama's with their happy little pills
They flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools
While the Mexican nannies take the children to school
So much to be and nothing to do
How did it ever end up that way?
Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee
No one can smell this religion but me
I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men,
That drink, smoke, and fuck like the world's gonna end
Someday will come and we'll all just pretend
That it never really happened that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
I can tell a lot by the way that you walk
And I can hear the confessions in the way you talk
And it's all the actions that give yourself away
So I still don't talk, don't breathe
It'll all be over soon
Trash day in Atlanta, GA
I can hear the sanitary truck from 2 miles away
I've said everything that this town has to say
Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away
Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade
But I wish it didn't happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
All the sad little mama's with their happy little pills
They flirt with the lawn boys as they clean out the pools
While the Mexican nannies take the children to school
So much to be and nothing to do
How did it ever end up that way?
Trash day in Nashville, Tennessee
No one can smell this religion but me
I see it in hairstyles of young Christian men,
That drink, smoke, and fuck like the world's gonna end
Someday will come and we'll all just pretend
That it never really happened that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
I can tell a lot by the way that you walk
And I can hear the confessions in the way you talk
And it's all the actions that give yourself away
So I still don't talk, don't breathe
It'll all be over soon
Trash day in Atlanta, GA
I can hear the sanitary truck from 2 miles away
I've said everything that this town has to say
Won't you bring me your waste and let me throw them away
Maybe I was wrong to call your heart a spade
But I wish it didn't happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
Happen that way
Pretty Melody Lyrics – Butch Walker
Do you remember when we met?
Liquor drinks and cigarettes
All the boys were taking bets
Credit cards, so in debt
Bought drinks from you at the bar
Poured them out behind my car
So I could come back where you are
And order from you again
And again
I'll be your open tap
You'll be my favorite sin
You're such a pretty melody
I'm just a tattooed tragedy
Oh baby we don't have to be
Like the rest of them
What time can we get out of here?
I got some words you need to hear
I really wanna make it clear
I don't do this everywhere
How do I make this not sound cheap?
I wanna show you where I sleep
Keep you there a couple weeks
Make you come again
And again
I'll be your waste of time
You'll be my happy end
You're such a pretty melody
I'm just another tattooed tragedy
Oh baby we don't have to be
Like the rest of them
It's anything but hard to see
I want all of you all over me
There's not a single part of me
That won't ever let you...
You're such a pretty melody
I'm just another tattooed tragedy
Oh baby we don't have to be
Like the rest of them
It's anything but hard to see
I want all of you all over me
There's not a single part of me
That won't ever let you go.
Liquor drinks and cigarettes

Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home Lyrics – Butch Walker
Her hair is like a crow's nest
She's got glitter in her eye
Her smile is like a jack-o-lantern
Trying not to cry
She's been living been living pretty hard
Since her old man up and died a year ago
And I see her every morning
While she's walking to the check
She holds her head like she's got something heavy
Hanging 'round her neck
Puts some money in her purse
And hides some where he won't expect before she goes
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Well she stole more than a little
From her folks in Cartersville
With that wrong foot in that right boot
Left a lot of room to fill
With one foot on the platform
And a lot of time to kill
They shoulda' known
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Well I haven't seen her lately
Guess I just assumed the worst
But I think I kinda miss her
Standing there with her lips pursed.
First thing in the morning
Leaning up against the church
Like it's your own
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
She's got glitter in her eye
Her smile is like a jack-o-lantern
Trying not to cry
She's been living been living pretty hard
Since her old man up and died a year ago
And I see her every morning
While she's walking to the check
She holds her head like she's got something heavy
Hanging 'round her neck
Puts some money in her purse
And hides some where he won't expect before she goes
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Well she stole more than a little
From her folks in Cartersville
With that wrong foot in that right boot
Left a lot of room to fill
With one foot on the platform
And a lot of time to kill
They shoulda' known
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Well I haven't seen her lately
Guess I just assumed the worst
But I think I kinda miss her
Standing there with her lips pursed.
First thing in the morning
Leaning up against the church
Like it's your own
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home
Canadian Ten Lyrics – Butch Walker
Sunshine, you heal as much as you hurt
With regret in my veins and blood on my shirt
Sure must have had myself a personal best
It takes filling my lungs up with smoke
To get things off my chest
Now, I'm crossing the border
Wasted again
With a number
From a Canadian ten
Oh Mother, oh Mother
Why must you complain
I grew up alright
So don't be ashamed
My mouth has been cleaner
And I may have lost all my faith
Til I believe in myself
I can't give my conscience away
And you're home with the dishes
And I'm out with my friends
Placing bets
With a Canadian ten
And North of the border
A sin is a sin
When you pay
With a Canadian ten
I've searched for a reason to not search for you
I feel like there's no place I haven't been through
I told myself 'don't fall in love if you don't know their name'
But my eyes are straight wired to my heart
And bypass my brain
Sometimes I'm forgetful
So I'll start at the end
And call the number
On this Canadian ten
And call the number
On this Canadian ten
With regret in my veins and blood on my shirt
Sure must have had myself a personal best
It takes filling my lungs up with smoke
To get things off my chest
Now, I'm crossing the border
Wasted again
With a number
From a Canadian ten
Oh Mother, oh Mother
Why must you complain
I grew up alright
So don't be ashamed
My mouth has been cleaner
And I may have lost all my faith
Til I believe in myself
I can't give my conscience away
And you're home with the dishes
And I'm out with my friends
Placing bets
With a Canadian ten
And North of the border
A sin is a sin
When you pay
With a Canadian ten
I've searched for a reason to not search for you
I feel like there's no place I haven't been through
I told myself 'don't fall in love if you don't know their name'
But my eyes are straight wired to my heart
And bypass my brain
Sometimes I'm forgetful
So I'll start at the end
And call the number
On this Canadian ten
And call the number
On this Canadian ten
Temporary Title Lyrics – Butch Walker
I opened up a can of worms
I could see myself hanging onto.
It's gonna sting, it's gonna burn
I can't win either way.
And over time I will just find a way to lose you after all
Until then we'll carry on.
I took a lot of shots for you
Some made my hangovers worse somedays.
The movies that you sat me through
Were never quite my taste
Don't get me wrong I miss the way I used to use you after all
But for now, just carry on.
We pass a bridge, we made it through
You feel different or all things the same.
The modulation never do
The story is untold.
And all I want is to get back to what I'm used to after all
Until then I'll carry on
I could see myself hanging onto.
It's gonna sting, it's gonna burn
I can't win either way.
And over time I will just find a way to lose you after all
Until then we'll carry on.
I took a lot of shots for you
Some made my hangovers worse somedays.
The movies that you sat me through
Were never quite my taste
Don't get me wrong I miss the way I used to use you after all
But for now, just carry on.
We pass a bridge, we made it through
You feel different or all things the same.
The modulation never do
The story is untold.
And all I want is to get back to what I'm used to after all
Until then I'll carry on
She Likes Hair Bands Lyrics – Butch Walker
She Likes Hair Bands
On satellite radio
But I was in one
So it's a little too close to home
She can dance like
She's done it for a living before
And I kinda dance like
I've been shot in the leg for sure
She's got all that she's got
But She don't got me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
So Baby, lay down
Nobody is around
Watching as our bodies
Slowly sinking to the ground
Throw away your phone
and your inhibitions too
There's a hundred dirty things
That I want to say to you
Never let me come
And never let me go
I've got you where I want you
So I want to say it slow
This is good night as any to say
That you want me too
Woo-Hoo
She like Mary Jane
But she says she doesn't like the smell
And She's got a baby
And by the way she walks I can't tell
She's got a birthmark
On the inside of her thigh
Ask me how I know (Ha)
About the inside of her thigh
She knows the Japanese alphabet
But She don't know me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
Yeah
So Baby, lay down
Nobody is around
Watching as our bodies
Slowly sinking to the ground
Throw away your phone
and your inhibitions too
There's a hundred dirty things
That I want to do to you
Never let me come
And never let me go
I've got you where I want you
So I want to say it slow
This is good night as any to say
That you want me too
Woo-Hoo
She got all that she wants
But she don't want me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
So Baby, lay down
Nobody is around
Watching as our bodies
Slowly sinking to the ground
Throw away your phone
and your inhibitions too
There's a hundred dirty things
that I want to do to you
Never let me come
And never let me go
I've got you where I want you
So I want to say it slow
This is good night as any to say

House Of Cards Lyrics – Butch Walker
This house of cards you've built
Has finally fallen down
Expect me to come scrape
Your ego off the ground
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
And I can tell
That you can tell
What will you do when all of them
Want you, want you, want you around
Your little costume party's almost over now
Alone to momma's house
Before the sun goes down
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
Nobody's got a heart
To tear you all apart
And you can tell
That I can tell
What will you do when all of them
Want you, want you, want you around
And you can tell
That I can tell
What will you do when none of them
Want you, want you, want you around
Your 15 minutes are about
To just run out
Any of us to take you seriously now?
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
Nobody's got a heart
To tear you all apart
This house of cards you've built
Has finally fallen down
Has finally fallen down
Expect me to come scrape
Your ego off the ground
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
And I can tell
That you can tell
What will you do when all of them
Want you, want you, want you around
Your little costume party's almost over now
Alone to momma's house
Before the sun goes down
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
Nobody's got a heart
To tear you all apart
And you can tell
That I can tell
What will you do when all of them
Want you, want you, want you around
And you can tell
That I can tell
What will you do when none of them
Want you, want you, want you around
Your 15 minutes are about
To just run out
Any of us to take you seriously now?
Cause everybody talks
Everybody talks
Nobody's got a heart
To tear you all apart
This house of cards you've built
Has finally fallen down
They Don't Know What We Know Lyrics – Butch Walker
I got my boarding pass
A tank of gas
Then I'm never coming back
If I could only get out of the bed in this room
You've got the little one
Who's a lot of fun
But your old man, he's a drag
So baby kick him out, pick up the baby, and let's go
And baby, they don't know what we know
So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go
Into another place
Get your lips
Back on my face
And let's go
Look past the window fan, through the alley cans
I can see you changing clothes
It's my morning coffee movie every day
You stick your stomach out
In the mirror
You pat you that wish you had it back
I can't find a section of flesh that I would change
Baby, you don't know what I know
So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go
Into another place
I want your lips
Back on my face
And let's go
And with just a little luck
And a couple bucks
We can make a little home
Like the one I promised to buy when we first met
And if I ever lose where we came from
I want you to hang me upside down
Mama, that's just something we can never forget
And baby, they don't know what we know
So turn the lights out, I want to go
Back to that starting place
The first time your lipstick
Got on my face
And let's go
Baby, let's go
Baby, let's go
Baby, let's go
A tank of gas
Then I'm never coming back
If I could only get out of the bed in this room
You've got the little one
Who's a lot of fun
But your old man, he's a drag
So baby kick him out, pick up the baby, and let's go
And baby, they don't know what we know
So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go
Into another place
Get your lips
Back on my face
And let's go
Look past the window fan, through the alley cans
I can see you changing clothes
It's my morning coffee movie every day
You stick your stomach out
In the mirror
You pat you that wish you had it back
I can't find a section of flesh that I would change
Baby, you don't know what I know
So turn the lights down, maybe they'll go
Into another place
I want your lips
Back on my face
And let's go
And with just a little luck
And a couple bucks
We can make a little home
Like the one I promised to buy when we first met
And if I ever lose where we came from
I want you to hang me upside down
Mama, that's just something we can never forget
And baby, they don't know what we know
So turn the lights out, I want to go
Back to that starting place
The first time your lipstick
Got on my face
And let's go
Baby, let's go
Baby, let's go
Baby, let's go
Days/Months/Years Lyrics – Butch Walker
I took a shot of morphine just to smell the fear in my heart
and I felt the rush of hesitence, scared to commit from the start
So I kissed a man in reno just to watch him puke
Now I got more issues than just trying to forget about you
I spent half of that whole day sober
And the other half dazed and confused
And what little bit left just trying to forget about you
I saw you at the galley, he was working his way up your skirt
He was buying all the rounds, baby, but you're gonna pay for dessert
So I pissed in his gas tank while you were at his place
Then I siphoned it back out and went upstairs to spit it back in his face
I spent the half of that first week healthy
And the other rid with the flu
And what little bit left just trying to forget about you
Six drinks, two deep at a party for a friend of a friend
My mouth was moving like a muscle but my heart dead set on sin
So I stumbled to the bathroom with who anyone who'd come
The only girl that did was married to the sherriff's son
Now I'm handcuffed to the toilet half naked with my mouth on his gun
I spent the half of that year in prison
The other half black and blue
And what little bit left trying to forget about you
We spent half of my life together
Spent the other half coming unglued
And what little time I got left trying to forget about you
and I felt the rush of hesitence, scared to commit from the start
So I kissed a man in reno just to watch him puke
Now I got more issues than just trying to forget about you
I spent half of that whole day sober
And the other half dazed and confused
And what little bit left just trying to forget about you
I saw you at the galley, he was working his way up your skirt
He was buying all the rounds, baby, but you're gonna pay for dessert
So I pissed in his gas tank while you were at his place
Then I siphoned it back out and went upstairs to spit it back in his face
I spent the half of that first week healthy
And the other rid with the flu
And what little bit left just trying to forget about you
Six drinks, two deep at a party for a friend of a friend
My mouth was moving like a muscle but my heart dead set on sin
So I stumbled to the bathroom with who anyone who'd come
The only girl that did was married to the sherriff's son
Now I'm handcuffed to the toilet half naked with my mouth on his gun
I spent the half of that year in prison
The other half black and blue
And what little bit left trying to forget about you
We spent half of my life together
Spent the other half coming unglued
And what little time I got left trying to forget about you
Be Good Until Then Lyrics – Butch Walker
Always know the road you're riding on
Always know the words to your baby's song
Try to make the most of Friday nights when they come
Maybe turn a stranger to a friend
Never break a heart that's on the mend
Never let the romance ever end like I've done
Never judge a color of a skin
Never judge a person by their kin
Never follow leaders that begin behind some wall
Always help your mom across the street
Always wash your hands when you wanna eat
Always keep em dirty enough to see where you came from
And its OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Try to see the best inside the bad
No matter how many drinks you had
Never make a promise you'll regret come sunrise
Try to rarely ever oversleep
Always keep your ego at your feet
Maybe try to practice what you preach once in a while
It's OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Everybody loves a hero
Not so much when they fall short so
Try to keep your cape on underneath
You don't have to try so hard
To be the best. Just know you are
And that's all that'll matter to me
And its OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Always know the words to your baby's song
Try to make the most of Friday nights when they come
Maybe turn a stranger to a friend
Never break a heart that's on the mend
Never let the romance ever end like I've done
Never judge a color of a skin
Never judge a person by their kin
Never follow leaders that begin behind some wall
Always help your mom across the street
Always wash your hands when you wanna eat
Always keep em dirty enough to see where you came from
And its OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Try to see the best inside the bad
No matter how many drinks you had
Never make a promise you'll regret come sunrise
Try to rarely ever oversleep
Always keep your ego at your feet
Maybe try to practice what you preach once in a while
It's OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Everybody loves a hero
Not so much when they fall short so
Try to keep your cape on underneath
You don't have to try so hard
To be the best. Just know you are
And that's all that'll matter to me
And its OK to cry
If you feel it comin on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
Fixed Gears And Broken Hearts Lyrics – Butch Walker
Hey Tina how's it goin'
With your brand new job
Workin' down in the city at the bicycle shop
I hear another guy caught your eye
That's what your brother said
He's got a fixed gear bike and a beard for a helmet
And you know you just like him 'cause he's easy on your wallet
Quote lines from the books in your apartment that he's never read
And I don't know if I can attest to much
But I feel like I've seen this before
There's some holes in the story
And the plot's kinda blurry
So, Tina, can you tell me something more?
And baaaby, I know you got it in ya'
So baaaby, tell me all thats been on your mind
I've got time, don't think that you're passed your prime
This world will still be waitin' for a girl I know that used to be mine
Hey Tina what's the stain on the back of you pants?
Kinda looks like you sat in the cake at the dance
Was it not everything that you thought it was cracked up to be?
Well they promised you religion, they promised you a raise
They promised not to spit the past year in your face
Well look at where you were, here you are crying tears in the street
And I don't know if I can attest to much
But I feel like you've been here before
So tell me if I rally can I get you back to Cali where I promise I can give you something more
So baaaby, I know you got it in ya'
So baaaby, tell me all thats been on your mind
I've got time, don't think that you're passed your prime
This world will still be waitin' for a girl I know that used to be mine
With your brand new job
Workin' down in the city at the bicycle shop
I hear another guy caught your eye
That's what your brother said
He's got a fixed gear bike and a beard for a helmet
And you know you just like him 'cause he's easy on your wallet
Quote lines from the books in your apartment that he's never read
And I don't know if I can attest to much
But I feel like I've seen this before
There's some holes in the story
And the plot's kinda blurry
So, Tina, can you tell me something more?
And baaaby, I know you got it in ya'
So baaaby, tell me all thats been on your mind
I've got time, don't think that you're passed your prime
This world will still be waitin' for a girl I know that used to be mine
Hey Tina what's the stain on the back of you pants?

The Weight Of Her Lyrics- Butch Walker
Oh!
Here come the captain
She's a firecracker, skinny jeans
Two lips of honey, yeah
She leaves a trail of gasoline
She drinks more whiskey
Than her daddy, she can even sing
And all the clappers say
You're living in her world
The word around the street
She likes the smell of cocaine
It makes her crazy when she
Mix it up with champagne
You'll never make it if you
Don't keep her locked in a cage
You will be wishing now
For any other girl
Don't let the weight of her world
Bring you down
Don't let her walk in the room
And turn you inside out
Don't let the touch of her hand
Take you down
No, not now
No, not ever again
Ooh
6:45 as you wake up
She's just gone to bed
Clear out the phone
From a hundred texts you haven't read
She only wants you
When it's later and she's off her head
Pay close attention
You're just living in her world
And all the Swedish girls
They hang out at the hotel
It's sex for green cards
I think they know you very well
It paints a picture of a movie
Ending dark as hell
You will be wishing now
For any other girl
Don't let the weight of her world
Bring you down
Don't let her walk in the room
And turn you inside out
Don't let the touch of her hand
Take you down
No, not now
No, not ever again
Ooh
And what am I supposed to talk about with you anyway?
I graduated the year you were born.
And I don't wanna have to drive around and listen to your burned CDs
through your shitty car speakers of every band you think you discovered;
it's just gonna make me feel insecure.
Don't let the weight of her world
Bring you down
Don't let her walk in the room
And turn you inside out
Don't let the touch of her hand
Take you down
No, not now
No, not ever, hey!
Don't let the weight of her world
Bring you down
Don't let her walk in the room
And turn you inside out
Don't let the touch of her hand
Take you down
No, not now
No, not ever again
Ooh
Yeah ooh
Here come the captain
She's a firecracker, skinny jeans
Two lips of honey, yeah
She leaves a trail of gasoline
She drinks more whiskey
Than her daddy, she can even sing
And all the clappers say
You're living in her world
The word around the street
She likes the smell of cocaine
It makes her crazy when she
Mix it up with champagne
You'll never make it if you
Don't keep her locked in a cage
You will be wishing now

Don't let the weight of her world
Bring you down
Don't let her walk in the room
And turn you inside out
Don't let the touch of her hand

Going Back / Going Home Lyrics- Butch Walker
I'm not happy with myself these days
I took the best pars of the script and I made them all cliches.
And this red bandanas surely gonna fade
Even though it's the only thing the fire didn't take.
Everybody says 'you'll grown a lot, from this experience'.
Baby B comes in after a while, becomes a president.
The best things get disguised sometimes but all I know is
I finally know the difference between going back and going home.
There's a lady on my block that has a kid.
As he swims in the above ground pool, she seals up the lid.
And he thinks it's kinda normal that she hides,
All the cuts and all the bruises
She says it's warpaint for the eyes.
She tells her son she did the best she could as she buries Dad.
Maybe he'll grow up to be a man, or like his father did.
As they leave the driveway for the northern snow,
They finally know the difference between going back and going home.
Cut to a life
Being born in '69
Low class suburb,
Everything's fine.
Fondue parties
My mom and my dad,
Drinks being drunk
And fights being had.
I lost my virginity to a girl in my band
She was four years older, she made me a man.
So addicted to sex
Every chance that I got.
With whoever I wanted
Until I got caught.
So I took my penicillin and I took my band
To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends.
Got handed the job by the age of eighteen.
Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen.
Played every bar, drank till black and blue.
Did the morning show bullshit
And went to China too.
Where they left us to die, without a ticket to flee.
Inciting the riot, we were only 23.
Packed it up, started over just as fast as we can.
Selling tapes making merch in the back of a van
Living hand-to-mouth for the next five years.
Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer.
Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress.
A 'one hit wonder' I think, describes it best.
Decided to burn out, then to fade away.
Went back to the van the very next day.
Picked it up, made a living without any help.
Made amazing friends, if I saw so myself.
If living like this at thirty-eight is a bore,
Then c'mon God, please give me thirty-eight more.
And everybody knows I've seen a lot
Yea, I'm experienced.
Makes you feel so old after a while,
Just like our president.
Everytime I come back in this town I know,
I finally know the difference between going back and going home.
Yea...back and going home.
I do.
I took the best pars of the script and I made them all cliches.
And this red bandanas surely gonna fade
Even though it's the only thing the fire didn't take.
Everybody says 'you'll grown a lot, from this experience'.

Here Comes The... Lyrics- Butch Walker
Here comes the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It's better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
The first night sleeping alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
Well I know that your sleeping
I can always hear you breath
Don't you think it's about time
That we talked
I hear you got a bad felling
And a feel I do agree
And I know how hard it is to be
The easiest thing to love
Making up while never meeting up
Here comes the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night eating alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
You went away for the weekend
So we could figure some things out
How the hell did it ever come to blow
Some people find happiness
Others are happy to find
One more reason not to ever get loved
I'll give in return
No u cant lose fire
When there's nothing left to burn.
Here comes the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night drinking alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
And all I wanted to do
Is do what you wanted
And mean it
But that never did much for me in the end
All u really got to do is wait it out.
This is the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
These are the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
This is the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night eating alone
This is the hardest thing
This is the hardest thing
This is the hardest thing
We've ever known
Well I know that your sleeping
I can always hear you breath
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It's better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
The first night sleeping alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
Well I know that your sleeping
I can always hear you breath
Don't you think it's about time
That we talked
I hear you got a bad felling
And a feel I do agree
And I know how hard it is to be
The easiest thing to love
Making up while never meeting up
Here comes the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night eating alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
You went away for the weekend
So we could figure some things out
How the hell did it ever come to blow
Some people find happiness
Others are happy to find
One more reason not to ever get loved
I'll give in return
No u cant lose fire
When there's nothing left to burn.
Here comes the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
Here comes the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
Here come the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night drinking alone
Here comes the hardest thing
We've ever known
And all I wanted to do
Is do what you wanted
And mean it
But that never did much for me in the end
All u really got to do is wait it out.
This is the heartache
The move out day
Excuses for my friends
These are the reasons I have to justify
It was better in the end
This is the last time I'm gonna kiss you
And the first night eating alone
This is the hardest thing
This is the hardest thing
This is the hardest thing
We've ever known
Well I know that your sleeping
I can always hear you breath
Ponce De Leon Ave Lyrics- Butch Walker
I woke up on Sunday morning
With a shoe that was not mine
Let the taxi on the corner drive away
So I walked up Ponce de Leon
With my lips all caked in wine
But my night clothes in the day time
Gave me away
And I don't want to remember
But I don't want to forget
That no one will believe me if I say
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day
And I came home with her lipstick
And a thousand bites and scars
And a mud stain on my kneecap
To remind
Me of a quick shop stop for salsa
Just to spill it on the floor
Stuck my head inside the freezer
To rewind
And the mayor won't believe me
And my drummer thinks I'm high
But I know I should let this one get away
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
I'll see you when I go out
We can be in love for just one day
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day
And there were all those tripped out people
At our table by the end of the night
So I met you by the bathroom to escape
I was so drunk I think I said
I want you inside me now
And we fell into the dumpster
Laughin' away
And I don't think I remember
And I try not to forget
But I think that I let this one get away
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
I'll see you when I go out
We can be in love for just one day
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day
With a shoe that was not mine
Let the taxi on the corner drive away
So I walked up Ponce de Leon
With my lips all caked in wine
But my night clothes in the day time
Gave me away
And I don't want to remember
But I don't want to forget
That no one will believe me if I say
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day
And I came home with her lipstick
And a thousand bites and scars
And a mud stain on my kneecap
To remind
Me of a quick shop stop for salsa
Just to spill it on the floor
Stuck my head inside the freezer
To rewind
And the mayor won't believe me
And my drummer thinks I'm high
But I know I should let this one get away
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
I'll see you when I go out
We can be in love for just one day
So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day

So honey don't you call now
Don't pick up the phone now
Don't you know we're better off this way
Trying not to spoil now
You'll see me when you go out
We can be in love for just one day
Ships In A Bottle Lyrics- Butch Walker
Now everybody sleeps
But I haven't done that
In the last few weeks or so
And ya I know the remedy
But that ran out yesterday
And I can't refill anything
Especially my heart
Especially by brain
If I could bottle up this mess
I would do it all again
And I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
And take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
I'm around
And you, you live down the street
And I watched you through the windows
Draped with sheets so white
And ya he looks a lot like me
Is it a comfort or coincidence
Coincidence at everything
Especially my eyes
Especially my clothes
Does he move you inside out
Baby I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
And take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
All the times we fought about
You never said a word about
How we would just become the ships
Inside of a bottle
Breaking down
Sails fallin off
Tryin to stay afloat
Inside a place we can't survive
Are we breakin down
I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
I can take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
I'm around
But I haven't done that
In the last few weeks or so
And ya I know the remedy
But that ran out yesterday
And I can't refill anything
Especially my heart
Especially by brain
If I could bottle up this mess
I would do it all again
And I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again
Just wanna walk away from the ashes
And take the fact that I got burned
And baby let you know i'm still standing
If you miss it again miss it again
I'm around
And you, you live down the street
And I watched you through the windows
Draped with sheets so white
And ya he looks a lot like me

Coincidence at everything

Baby I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
Don't wanna feel if i'm alive
Don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep

Vessels Lyrics- Butch Walker
You said you've never give in
Never pretend that this is just a
Chapter for you
What do we do
I feel like this is war on a hill
A jack and a jill
Tryin to win a battle to do
What we never do is win
Hurry it up
Its coming at ya fast as you can run
The silver of the tip of a
Bullet from a gun is gonna
Take you down, take you down
And finally kill this love
We don't get along anymore
I saw his name and number by the door
You just take the bed and I'll take the floor
We don't get along anymore
Theres the look in your eye
Magnified a thousand times
I see the vessels of blood
Swelling above the color that made
Me turn to red, when you turned your head
At the party we never saw
We went for it all I took you like I
Never gave you up
Not a breath could come between the
Bodies lying on the carhood
I think it says a lot that I
Remember it all
Was it all just wasted love
We don't get along anymore
I saw his name and number by the door
You just take the bed and I'll take the floor
We don't get along anymore
Never pretend that this is just a
Chapter for you
What do we do
I feel like this is war on a hill
A jack and a jill
Tryin to win a battle to do
What we never do is win
Hurry it up
Its coming at ya fast as you can run
The silver of the tip of a
Bullet from a gun is gonna
Take you down, take you down
And finally kill this love
We don't get along anymore
I saw his name and number by the door
You just take the bed and I'll take the floor
We don't get along anymore
Theres the look in your eye
Magnified a thousand times
I see the vessels of blood
Swelling above the color that made
Me turn to red, when you turned your head
At the party we never saw
We went for it all I took you like I
Never gave you up
Not a breath could come between the
Bodies lying on the carhood
I think it says a lot that I
Remember it all
Was it all just wasted love
We don't get along anymore
I saw his name and number by the door
You just take the bed and I'll take the floor
We don't get along anymore
Passed Your Place, Saw Your Car, Thought Of You Lyrics- Butch Walker
Now honey, dry your eyes.
Get back in the car.
There's no need to end it this way.
That's what she said, when I shot off the head
Of our love on that one Saturday.
I've got my share of faults, this much is true.
I talk to much about me, to everyone I know.
The one thing I do now, is talk more about you and how
I can't believe I just let you go.
There's never a pill, strong enough to make me feel like all your fingers could do.
I passed your place, I saw your car, I thought of you.
There goes that guy I know,
He comes to all my shows.
Stealing every move I'm about.
And he's a little bit younger, and a hell of a lot more fit.
And I hate his mouth and everything that comes out.
If there's one thing I know
Is you can't trust a man.
It's a species that captures things just to let them go.
And he bought you drinks you every night.
To the bait you would bite.
Now you're the sweetest thing from me he stole.
There's never a pill strong enough to make me feel, like all your fingers could do.
I passed your place, I saw his car, I thought of you.
I never got to say, before you passed away.
That love was just a word before you showed it to me.
Twenty years ago, when I just let you go,
I didn't think this is where you'd be.
Now honey dry your eyes, get back to your life.
There's no need to take it this way.
Thats what I tell myself in the mirror by the shelf
Where your picture still hangs today.
There's never a pill strong enough to make me feel like all your fingers could do.
I passed your place, there was no car, I thought of you.
Get back in the car.
There's no need to end it this way.
That's what she said, when I shot off the head
Of our love on that one Saturday.
I've got my share of faults, this much is true.
I talk to much about me, to everyone I know.
The one thing I do now, is talk more about you and how
I can't believe I just let you go.

The 3 Kids In Brooklyn Lyrics- Butch Walker
Well I left the town of sinners, redneck priests and meth lab stalls
To find myself a few more just like me
The options pretty skinny and the order's pretty tall
To swim the hippest waters in the sea
Somewhere in the sticky city driving back and forth
I found myself a squat in Williamsburg
Nobody seemed the same sincerely this could be a curse
But everyone's the same with different shirts
I'm not sure what part about me they can't understand
No one's really from here, they just all pretend that's what they've been about
Those three kids left in Brooklyn sure know how to spin me out
I see a guy named Ian every morning at the store
Always dissing something with his eyes
He always wears a sweater even in the warmest weather
He's not afraid to say what he despised
But I did a little searching you know, and much to my surprise
A few years back a metal cover band
He yelled at me and said the Internet is full of lies
And then I never saw Ian again
I'm not sure what part about him they can't understand
No one's really from here, they just all pretend that's what they've been about
Those two kids left in Brooklyn sure know how to spin me out
I grabbed shots in Decatur with a girl who's on my block
She's the best drummer that I know
Her band's always struggling and they always say they're juggling
All their schedules just to play a show
Working at American Apparel selling women's clothes to guys
She got a call to play in someone's band I don't know well
She don't wan't to do it, she's so broke that she said screw it
Then I never spoke to her again
I'm not sure what part about her she didn't understand
Nobody's really from here, they just all pretend that's what they've been about
That one kid left in Atlanta:Fuck this place, I'm getting out
To find myself a few more just like me
The options pretty skinny and the order's pretty tall
To swim the hippest waters in the sea
Somewhere in the sticky city driving back and forth
I found myself a squat in Williamsburg
Nobody seemed the same sincerely this could be a curse
But everyone's the same with different shirts
I'm not sure what part about me they can't understand
No one's really from here, they just all pretend that's what they've been about
Those three kids left in Brooklyn sure know how to spin me out
I see a guy named Ian every morning at the store
Always dissing something with his eyes
He always wears a sweater even in the warmest weather
He's not afraid to say what he despised
But I did a little searching you know, and much to my surprise
A few years back a metal cover band
He yelled at me and said the Internet is full of lies
And then I never saw Ian again
I'm not sure what part about him they can't understand
No one's really from here, they just all pretend that's what they've been about
Those two kids left in Brooklyn sure know how to spin me out
