Lyin’ in the overgrown-up grass in the front yard
Water falling from the sky so warm it feels hard
Trying to figure out just who you really are to me
Lyin’ in the overgrown-up grass in the front yard
Water falling from the sky so warm it feels hard
Trying to figure out just who you really are.... to me
And the summer scarves are all around me
And the sunburn grows around my neck
And the sum of her still remains a memory
Till the summer turns the day to black
Needle dropping on a record that you bought for me
And you traced my name inside the logo on the sleeve
You circled all the lines in the lyrics that you mean.... for me
And the summer scarves are all around me
And the sunburn grows around my neck
And the sum of her still remains a memory
Till the summer turns the day to black
Some wait their whole life
Just to feel something right
And it grips you like a wave you wish never goes away
Then it does
And the summer scarves are all around me
And the sunburn grows around my neck
And the sum of her still remains a memory
Till the summer turns the day to black
And the sum of her still remains a memory
Till the summer turns the day to black
A Song For The Metalheads Lyrics- Butch Walker
One nine six nine
Press the tape recorder let's get this all down real fast
Before the insignificant thought goes by
There's one more slow song left to write for the record
Make all the metal heads cry
Throw rocks but not rocking and stand there just mocking
With hands in their armpits that they'll later smell
When you live in the past there's one thing that will last
It's resentment that time won't sit still
The record business is fucked it's kinda funny
It'll separate a boy from a man
You can buy every copy of your record with your money
But you'd be your only fan
If there's one thing my father said when he was younger
To a kid with a mullet that looked like his son
To want and to try is the difference why
Some people will walk and some run . . .thank you dad
Sharpen up all your pencils cause class will come early
There's so much you thought that you knew
While the b list celebrities all pay for the fame
They'll soak up what's left of the pool
While a kid in the corner becomes a savant
No one will care til he's dead
Or he falls from his grace with it all over the place
And a piece of it stuck in his head
Press the tape recorder let's get this all down real fast
Before the insignificant thought goes by
There's one more slow song left to write for the record
Make all the metal heads cry
Throw rocks but not rocking and stand there just mocking
With hands in their armpits that they'll later smell
When you live in the past there's one thing that will last
It's resentment that time won't sit still
The record business is fucked it's kinda funny
It'll separate a boy from a man
You can buy every copy of your record with your money
But you'd be your only fan
If there's one thing my father said when he was younger
To a kid with a mullet that looked like his son
To want and to try is the difference why
Some people will walk and some run . . .thank you dad
Sharpen up all your pencils cause class will come early
There's so much you thought that you knew
While the b list celebrities all pay for the fame
They'll soak up what's left of the pool
While a kid in the corner becomes a savant
No one will care til he's dead
Or he falls from his grace with it all over the place
And a piece of it stuck in his head
Closer To The Truth And Further From The Sky Lyrics- Butch Walker
Ribbons are flying out the window.
As we drove down the interstate.
Sex was something so brand new,
It was hard as hell to wait.
She made faces at the goddamn Rednecks.
She said "Look at you boy, you must worship Satan."
Just because I had the same long hair as the Jesus in all their paintings.
Every church just made me scared of words like
Serve and faith and congregation.
In a world with so many answers left,
Why do I need so many explanations?
To get closer to the truth and further from the sky.
And the static singes the speakers like
A thousand Hymns of inspiration.
And the road just winds through the canyon like,
A big black snake heading for salvation and I'm getting closer to the truth
And further from the sky.
Roadside venue with that paper their menu's
In a town that forgot it's own name.
We were hungry for anything that had a pulse
As we freed ourselves from the rain.
There's a disgruntled metalhead playing guitar
For a pop-singer up on the screen.
With his guitar held high and his head held low,
He just wants a chance to be seen.
And the static singes the speakers like
A thousand Hymns of inspiration.
And the road just winds through the canyon like,
A big black snake heading for salvation and I'm getting closer to the truth
And further from the sky.
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....
Well he tells me at the bar that he's on his last leg
That he used to have it all in his hands.
And the girls don't think much of him these days.
Which is hard for him to understand.
Cause he's a little bit older and a little bit thin,
But he's still got his heart in a sling.
And we paid for the drinks,
And the bartender drinks.
And it couldn't be more late,
YEA WE'RE ALL SO LATE.
Cause the static singes the speakers like
A thousand Hymns of inspiration.
And the road just winds through the canyon like,
A big black snake heading for salvation and I'm getting closer to the truth
And further from the sky.
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....
Whoaaaaaa....oh....Whoaaaaaa....

ATL Lyrics- Butch Walker
Born from hippies back in '69
I was bored by 1992
I walked into a recruitment office a year before that
Said 'son we've been waiting for you'
Discharged from a Gulf War the very same year
I came home with a car and a tomb
Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun
That my dead best friend never could use
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like most people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Wasted and down trodden along the hidden vein
I cried myself blind at the sight
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
Now condos as sterile as I
So I bought me an old Airstream for 3,000 bucks
From a drug dealer I used to owe
And I thought to myself as I slept off a high
The irony is starting to show
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Drove out to Asheville, 'cause that's where you were
Where you married into money and pills
And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
But the fact is that you never will
Cause some become lovers because of sex
And some, you know, they just become friends
Heyyyy
In our case, we just became bad at it all
And never got good at it again
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm suffocating like some people do
And I need all your air to survive
I was bored by 1992
I walked into a recruitment office a year before that
Said 'son we've been waiting for you'
Discharged from a Gulf War the very same year
I came home with a car and a tomb
Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun
That my dead best friend never could use
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like most people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Wasted and down trodden along the hidden vein
I cried myself blind at the sight
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
Now condos as sterile as I
So I bought me an old Airstream for 3,000 bucks
From a drug dealer I used to owe
And I thought to myself as I slept off a high
The irony is starting to show
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Drove out to Asheville, 'cause that's where you were
Where you married into money and pills
And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
But the fact is that you never will
Cause some become lovers because of sex
And some, you know, they just become friends
Heyyyy
In our case, we just became bad at it all
And never got good at it again
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
'Cause Atlanta, I'm suffocating like some people do
And I need all your air to survive
(Untitled Hidden Track) Lyrics- Butch Walker
Everything is dark
Everybody’s here
All I gotta do is get the words right
When the microphone is near
Shoot off all my thoughts
Maybe make it rhyme
Try to be as honest with myself to them
Without committing the crime
I know that I can’t put it the way
That a better-read person could do
So I sacrifice my talent for the truth
So let it burn, let it fall
Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
And let it circulate right through a vein
That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
Everybody screams
Then everybody stops
I just wanna have a little moment when the silence gets me off
Let me say my peace
Get out of your hair
All I wanted was to be the backrest
On your broken, hopeless chair
And I know that the living are lifeless
And if the doctors could euthanize half of the things
That make me become the person that I hate
So let it burn, let it fall
Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
And let it circulate right through a vein
That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
Everything is dark
Everybody’s here
All I gotta do is get the words right
When the microphone is near
Everybody’s here
All I gotta do is get the words right
When the microphone is near
Shoot off all my thoughts
Maybe make it rhyme
Try to be as honest with myself to them
Without committing the crime
I know that I can’t put it the way
That a better-read person could do
So I sacrifice my talent for the truth
So let it burn, let it fall
Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
And let it circulate right through a vein
That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
Everybody screams
Then everybody stops
I just wanna have a little moment when the silence gets me off
Let me say my peace
Get out of your hair
All I wanted was to be the backrest
On your broken, hopeless chair
And I know that the living are lifeless
And if the doctors could euthanize half of the things
That make me become the person that I hate
So let it burn, let it fall
Let it drain the blood from my legs as I crawl
And let it circulate right through a vein
That’s never gonna rupture when I fall
Everything is dark
Everybody’s here
All I gotta do is get the words right
When the microphone is near
That Side Of You Lyrics- Butch Walker
Was it just a little too late to say
Everything I wanted as you walked away
Tell me, does he know how to move you like I do
Is it just an easy way to say you're through
Don't make a ghost out of me and you
There's really nothing I can say or do to change your mind
Seven in the morning I can't sleep
I've got dust in my veins and a pain so deep
Can I get a chance to make it right
So give me all the love inside your heart
Break me off a little bit of hope so we can start
To feel something real
Try to make it natural to take
Everything I'm going in for
You know I can't wait
To see that side of you
All the letters that are on the floor
You never mentioned with a pen before
That you were happy with way your life was turning out
I think he never listens when you cry
I see the mass confusion in your eyes
And wonder what your head's thinking about
Seven in the evening, he's still asleep
As you're crying in the yard with pills at your feet
How the hell you gonna make this right?
So give me all the love that's in your heart
Break me off a little bit of hope so we can start
To feel something new
Try to make it no so hard to take
Everything I'm going in for
You know I can't wait
To see that side of you
And push it all away from you
The things that make you run away and hide
Cause the summer's coming soon for you
Melt away the cold you keep inside
Just give me all the love that's in your heart
Break me off a little bit of hope so we can start
To feel something new
Try to make it no so hard to take
Everything I'm going in for
You know I can't wait
To see that side of you
Give me all the love that's in your heart
Break me off a little bit of hope so we can start
To feel something new
Try to make it no so hard to take
Everything I'm going in for
Cause you know I can't wait
To see that side of you
To see that side of you
To see that side of you
Everything I wanted as you walked away
Tell me, does he know how to move you like I do
Is it just an easy way to say you're through
Don't make a ghost out of me and you
There's really nothing I can say or do to change your mind

Hot Girls In Good Moods Lyrics- Butch Walker
I got a girl that lives at the mall
She dances on the dark side of the disco ball
Drives a silver mercedes
Made in the 80s
Swears and stares at the buckhead ladies
She straddles me lovely
While she scratches my back
While she sings all the words
To my hidden tracks
From my heart of a record, far as i can tell
Sounds like heaven and feels good as hell
B-b-b-b-baby yer so hot
Ya g-g-g-g-g-give me everything i got
C-c-c-c-c-c-can ya tell me how to not
Love a hot girl in a good mood
Back before i ever even knew how you felt
When i was just a teenage bullet belt
Making really heavy music
In a bandana band
Playing spring break parties
In the redneck sand
Your lips are like a work of art..
God i wanna tear them apart..
She dances on the dark side of the disco ball
Drives a silver mercedes
Made in the 80s
Swears and stares at the buckhead ladies
She straddles me lovely
While she scratches my back
While she sings all the words
To my hidden tracks
From my heart of a record, far as i can tell
Sounds like heaven and feels good as hell
B-b-b-b-baby yer so hot
Ya g-g-g-g-g-give me everything i got
C-c-c-c-c-c-can ya tell me how to not
Love a hot girl in a good mood
Back before i ever even knew how you felt
When i was just a teenage bullet belt
Making really heavy music
In a bandana band
Playing spring break parties
In the redneck sand
Your lips are like a work of art..
God i wanna tear them apart..
Ladies And Gentlemen... "The Let's Go Out Tonites!"
I'm tired, i'm bored,
Where's the cocaine
Things don't get started til midnight
In my brain
Called up marie, that had sex for free
I asked her to give back all my records
And jeans
I cant seem to, no matter how hard i try
To outdance the dancefloor
So everybody woke, telling the same joke
And singing the same chorus to a song
That hasn't even been wrote
Don't know how to lead, just follow along
There is no right or wrong way for certain
Make up your own version sing along
What's it this week?
Perhaps a little game of poker?
And the import by the
"Lets Go Out Tonights"!!!!!!!
That'so over
Gimme a razor,
Not to cut myself
And talk about it
But to shave off your beard,
Your look better without it
Lions and wolves are the latest..
Oh my so 8 months ago...
Nice try
Where's the cocaine
Things don't get started til midnight
In my brain
Called up marie, that had sex for free
I asked her to give back all my records
And jeans
I cant seem to, no matter how hard i try
To outdance the dancefloor
So everybody woke, telling the same joke
And singing the same chorus to a song
That hasn't even been wrote
Don't know how to lead, just follow along
There is no right or wrong way for certain
Make up your own version sing along
What's it this week?
Perhaps a little game of poker?
And the import by the
"Lets Go Out Tonights"!!!!!!!
That'so over
Gimme a razor,
Not to cut myself
And talk about it
But to shave off your beard,
Your look better without it
Lions and wolves are the latest..
Oh my so 8 months ago...
Nice try
Bethamphetamine (Pretty, Pretty) Lyrics- Butch Walker
Hey little party girl
Where do you wanna go
I didn't come from your scene
So many people i should know
Like every door guy in this city
Only looks at you 'cause you're pretty
And the boutique girls and theme night
Druggies
Take you in the back
(you put your head on the mirror)
Maybe there's a gas station open
And a little money on my card
So i can buy some half and half
Cause even mornings they seem so hard
And look at you, you never fell to bed
You're still typing on your phone
With yer cigarette
Saying i should stop being so cynical
'cause were hotter when we don't give a damn
(so smash yer head on the mirror)
And oh baby baby baby keeps it with her
Ooh baby baby, babies got a purse full
Of things she calls excuses
Real pretty pretty
You're pretty down and out for a girl
Where do you wanna go
I didn't come from your scene
So many people i should know
Like every door guy in this city
Only looks at you 'cause you're pretty
And the boutique girls and theme night
Druggies
Take you in the back
(you put your head on the mirror)
Maybe there's a gas station open
And a little money on my card
So i can buy some half and half
Cause even mornings they seem so hard
And look at you, you never fell to bed
You're still typing on your phone
With yer cigarette
Saying i should stop being so cynical
'cause were hotter when we don't give a damn
(so smash yer head on the mirror)
And oh baby baby baby keeps it with her
Ooh baby baby, babies got a purse full
Of things she calls excuses
Real pretty pretty
You're pretty down and out for a girl
Too Famous To Get Fully Dressed Lyrics- Butch Walker
That was a helluva party last night
I cant believe i helped you break up a fight
Trust fund kids should stay away from clubs
I remember my first beer too
I coulda used a little more to do
The conversations got snorted
And i cant find my shoes
So lets go to the coffee shop
Dressed like we are
And make people think (its what we do)
All day, we sing la la la
All night we go blah blah blah
All morning we just yawn a lot lot lot
Yeah it makes ya look better
When you look like u got nothin better to do
God your hair is a fucking mess
So hurry put on a ski cap, and maybe a vest
Just try kinda hard to make
It not look like ya tried at all
I know a place with a line outside
Where we can maybe get a table
Sitting side by side
We can listen to the conversations
Like flies on the wall
I cant believe i helped you break up a fight
Trust fund kids should stay away from clubs
I remember my first beer too
I coulda used a little more to do
The conversations got snorted
And i cant find my shoes
So lets go to the coffee shop
Dressed like we are
And make people think (its what we do)
All day, we sing la la la
All night we go blah blah blah
All morning we just yawn a lot lot lot
Yeah it makes ya look better
When you look like u got nothin better to do
God your hair is a fucking mess
So hurry put on a ski cap, and maybe a vest
Just try kinda hard to make
It not look like ya tried at all
I know a place with a line outside
Where we can maybe get a table
Sitting side by side
We can listen to the conversations
Like flies on the wall
We're All Going Down Lyrics- Butch Walker
Burnt to a crisp i cant sleep from the sound
Of the train of thought inside of me
So i grab the keys as the clock
It starts to smile
5 in the am seems so surreal
Where the red lights are friends
With the automobiles
And just want you to stop
And say hi for awhile
Cuz we just want to be heard
And act like we're better
Than anyone else or not to feel lower
So laugh when they cry
Jump when they're down
Smile when they frown
We're all going down..
We're all going down
So take a hi-five from another zombie
That walks in the bar
Straight out of a movie
Where 10 dollar drinks
Are the highlight of his week
And all of the kitty cats
Get out their catty kits
Sit and they talk shit
Bout this bitch and that bitch
And makes me feel a little better about me
Of the train of thought inside of me
So i grab the keys as the clock
It starts to smile
5 in the am seems so surreal
Where the red lights are friends
With the automobiles
And just want you to stop
And say hi for awhile
Cuz we just want to be heard
And act like we're better
Than anyone else or not to feel lower
So laugh when they cry
Jump when they're down
Smile when they frown
We're all going down..
We're all going down
So take a hi-five from another zombie
That walks in the bar
Straight out of a movie
Where 10 dollar drinks
Are the highlight of his week
And all of the kitty cats
Get out their catty kits
Sit and they talk shit
Bout this bitch and that bitch
And makes me feel a little better about me
Dominoes Lyrics- Butch Walker
Sitting with the dog
Trying to clear the fog of a
Memory of the last time
That i saw her face
50 yrs of time an accident
Would take my mind and shortly
After take the wife
Away from me
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
(just cant be erased)
But if i remember one today
Let it be of Grace
The catskills are all frozen
Playing dominoes and i can
Hear a voice reminding me
That i'm her hero
I can find myself able from
The chair across the table
To remember that it wasn't
Always empty
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
But if there's a memory left of Grace
Let it come back today
I see her beside me
As the grandkids they remind me
That she's in the cemetery
That we played in as kids
They just think i'm crazy
But the things she tells me lately
Are the only things that i cannot forget
Trying to clear the fog of a
Memory of the last time
That i saw her face
50 yrs of time an accident
Would take my mind and shortly
After take the wife
Away from me
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
(just cant be erased)
But if i remember one today
Let it be of Grace
The catskills are all frozen
Playing dominoes and i can
Hear a voice reminding me
That i'm her hero
I can find myself able from
The chair across the table
To remember that it wasn't
Always empty
Everybody knows
Memories will keep us alive
And some just wont go away
But if there's a memory left of Grace
Let it come back today
I see her beside me
As the grandkids they remind me
That she's in the cemetery
That we played in as kids
They just think i'm crazy
But the things she tells me lately
Are the only things that i cannot forget
Paid To Get Excited Lyrics- Butch Walker
And the sky is falling upwards
On a summer desert night
While kids in school are forced to sing
The battle hymns just right
And the extras paid to get excited
On the tv screen
So doped up on diversion
That they don't know what it means
To be free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before it's too late
Make sure to give your full attention
Smile the best you can
Watch this hand give peace sign
While the other chokes a man
Cuz he wants to love another man
They'll tell you that its bad
Cuz some book that set the moral codes
Is glamourized in ads
And the backflipping, spike-haired preachers
Preaching through their headset mics
Saying god is the new elvis and
He's "gonna rock tonight"
So just sip on that new energy drink
Although it tastes like shit
Cuz a pretty t.v. couple
Says they cant live without it
On a summer desert night
While kids in school are forced to sing
The battle hymns just right
And the extras paid to get excited
On the tv screen
So doped up on diversion
That they don't know what it means
To be free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before it's too late
Make sure to give your full attention
Smile the best you can
Watch this hand give peace sign
While the other chokes a man
Cuz he wants to love another man
They'll tell you that its bad
Cuz some book that set the moral codes
Is glamourized in ads
And the backflipping, spike-haired preachers
Preaching through their headset mics
Saying god is the new elvis and
He's "gonna rock tonight"
So just sip on that new energy drink
Although it tastes like shit
Cuz a pretty t.v. couple
Says they cant live without it
Song Without A Chorus Lyrics- Butch Walker
Well there's sand in my book
From writing on the beach
Trying to find a song for you
That the ocean can only reach
And this beach is getting wider
Than my train of thought is long
And each little grain of sand
Is some other asshole poets song
So i'll try to get this right
Before the sunburn says i'm wrong,
Says i'm wrong
I keep on shooting clever guns
That blow up in my face
And what good to say i'm sorry
When time it wont erase
All the times i hit erase
On every word you said to me
And just covered it up
Like dogshit on a pretty city street
Just to not piss off the neighbors
No wonder i cant sleep, i cant sleep
A song without a chorus,
This is my first attempt
Cuz that would really bore us
And the title would go limp
But these words just keep on shooting
Out my pen just like a gun
And i'm aiming at your ears
Trying not to come undone
Cuz you love the smell of gunshots
And the company of one.. no fun
They'll probably say this sucks
But i don't really care
And i used the "gunshot" word
So it wont get on the air
While the rappers do a driveby
And smoke crack then praise the lord
While a white-bread singer songwriter
Has to stand here looking bored
And while i'm at it, i should mention
That all the guns i used in my
Songs were fake...
Not real... plastic..
Fuck... get real... blast it...
I still love you
From writing on the beach
Trying to find a song for you
That the ocean can only reach
And this beach is getting wider
Than my train of thought is long
And each little grain of sand
Is some other asshole poets song
So i'll try to get this right
Before the sunburn says i'm wrong,
Says i'm wrong
I keep on shooting clever guns
That blow up in my face
And what good to say i'm sorry
When time it wont erase
All the times i hit erase
On every word you said to me
And just covered it up
Like dogshit on a pretty city street
Just to not piss off the neighbors
No wonder i cant sleep, i cant sleep
A song without a chorus,
This is my first attempt
Cuz that would really bore us
And the title would go limp
But these words just keep on shooting
Out my pen just like a gun
And i'm aiming at your ears
Trying not to come undone
Cuz you love the smell of gunshots
And the company of one.. no fun
They'll probably say this sucks
But i don't really care
And i used the "gunshot" word
So it wont get on the air
While the rappers do a driveby
And smoke crack then praise the lord
While a white-bread singer songwriter
Has to stand here looking bored
And while i'm at it, i should mention
That all the guns i used in my
Songs were fake...
Not real... plastic..
Fuck... get real... blast it...
I still love you
The Taste Of Red Lyrics- Butch Walker
Well i tripped and i fell
Into a hole i know so well
And i don' tthink i'll be
Leaving for awhile
And this lump beneath my skin
Is the home i let you in
All it took was just your
Red lipped biting smile
And damn damn damn i love you
Like the stars that shine above you
Light the ground that your laying on
While looking up at me
And oh good god i need this
Just a chance to see your weakness
So i can come inside of your kiss
And leave you on your knees
Slurring thoughts til they bled
Cuz i love the taste of red
And you're stuck inside me
Like a splinter does
Drawing words on your back
Spelling you're my heart attack
Cuz your naked body glistens like the sun
And damn damn damn i love you
Like the stars that shine above you
Light the ground that your laying on
While looking up at me
And oh good god i need this
Just a chance to show your weakness
So i can come inside of your kiss and just
Leave you on your knees
Into a hole i know so well
And i don' tthink i'll be
Leaving for awhile
And this lump beneath my skin
Is the home i let you in
All it took was just your
Red lipped biting smile
And damn damn damn i love you
Like the stars that shine above you
Light the ground that your laying on
While looking up at me
And oh good god i need this
Just a chance to see your weakness
So i can come inside of your kiss
And leave you on your knees
Slurring thoughts til they bled
Cuz i love the taste of red
And you're stuck inside me
Like a splinter does
Drawing words on your back
Spelling you're my heart attack
Cuz your naked body glistens like the sun
And damn damn damn i love you
Like the stars that shine above you
Light the ground that your laying on
While looking up at me
And oh good god i need this
Just a chance to show your weakness
So i can come inside of your kiss and just
Leave you on your knees
Rich People Die Unhappy Lyrics- Butch Walker
He looks up at her to find she staring back
At fingerless gloves, with fingernails black
There's a permanent frown
That's etched in her skin
Designer bag fat, her figure is thin
He says hi to her, she nothing to him
She's scared of the outside,
She's boxed herself in
To a world full of judgment
And callous routine
She forgets where she's from,
He knows where he's been
Rich people die unhappy
That's what daddy said
But i never believed him
While drunk in the head
With our television dinners
And a broken t.v. set
Money makes you happy i bet
He goes to be famous, a house in the hills
Very little free time, whole lotta pills
That nail polish spread to a
Franchise of bands
As fake as the X's sharpied on their hands
He was bitter as the smell
Of a magazine review
But he had all the cars
And the pools and the view
And as a bum tries to stop him
For a 5 or a 10
He forgets where he's from,
He forgets where he's been
At fingerless gloves, with fingernails black
There's a permanent frown
That's etched in her skin
Designer bag fat, her figure is thin
He says hi to her, she nothing to him
She's scared of the outside,
She's boxed herself in
To a world full of judgment
And callous routine
She forgets where she's from,
He knows where he's been
Rich people die unhappy
That's what daddy said
But i never believed him
While drunk in the head
With our television dinners
And a broken t.v. set
Money makes you happy i bet
He goes to be famous, a house in the hills
Very little free time, whole lotta pills
That nail polish spread to a
Franchise of bands
As fake as the X's sharpied on their hands
He was bitter as the smell
Of a magazine review
But he had all the cars
And the pools and the view
And as a bum tries to stop him
For a 5 or a 10
He forgets where he's from,
He forgets where he's been
This Is The Sweetest Little Song Lyrics- Butch Walker
I can only keep this feeling for a minute
Can only stare at a polaroid so long
Before the chromofilm blurs and the smiles
On our faces are gone
I crossed a line 5 yrs in the making
That the biggest eraser cant clear
And i'm rewinding everytime
I whispered that in your ear
As i laid on you
And your naked body
Looked just like i wanted it to
And i wanna be the inspiration
For your room going silent
I wanna feel you erupt
When i play your song
I wanna move you to tears when i say
"its over.. goodnight"
And the rest of your life
I get mad at myself for not acting myself
I get jealous at the thought of you out
I don't want you to think that its all that i'm
Thinking about
But goddamn i do
And everytime that i hear someone laugh,
It sounds just like you
Can only stare at a polaroid so long
Before the chromofilm blurs and the smiles
On our faces are gone
I crossed a line 5 yrs in the making
That the biggest eraser cant clear
And i'm rewinding everytime
I whispered that in your ear
As i laid on you
And your naked body
Looked just like i wanted it to
And i wanna be the inspiration
For your room going silent
I wanna feel you erupt
When i play your song
I wanna move you to tears when i say
"its over.. goodnight"
And the rest of your life
I get mad at myself for not acting myself
I get jealous at the thought of you out
I don't want you to think that its all that i'm
Thinking about
But goddamn i do
And everytime that i hear someone laugh,
It sounds just like you
When Canyons Ruled The City Lyrics- Butch Walker
Laurel was a girl i knew,
Made of dirt and stone
Pretty hip in younger times,
Now she sits alone
With a hundred thousand,
Beat up architectural disasters
She calls homes
Beverly glen was pretty
All the rich boys loved her curves
She tried to get the credit sometimes
More than she deserved
Like those cheesy 80's movies
She epitomized all things
We'd come to know
Beachwood was a boheme
From the sexy 60's scene
Grew up east of w. hollywood
And somewhere in between
All the madness laurel puts up with, but
Somehow always tolerates a scene
Nicols had a lot in common
With performing arts
A and r guys having cookouts
On her back with super stars
But she had some nasty habits and some
Roadwork to repair this drama queen
Sometimes beachwood yelled at laurel
On the terms of selling out
Then laurel yelled at beverly
For not knowing what life's about
With her trust fund friends and family,
It felt just like an earthquake
When she'd shout
And silverlake just stood there
With her nose up in the air
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
I dont fucking care
Bout the drama all you idiots are buying,
Selling, leasing, up there
San fernando was a struggling actor
Drove a deli truck to the sets of porno
Movies, just trying to make a buck
While his pilot sits in escrow, he dreams of
Dating beverly one day
Made of dirt and stone
Pretty hip in younger times,
Now she sits alone
With a hundred thousand,
Beat up architectural disasters
She calls homes
Beverly glen was pretty
All the rich boys loved her curves
She tried to get the credit sometimes
More than she deserved
Like those cheesy 80's movies
She epitomized all things
We'd come to know
Beachwood was a boheme
From the sexy 60's scene
Grew up east of w. hollywood
And somewhere in between
All the madness laurel puts up with, but
Somehow always tolerates a scene
Nicols had a lot in common
With performing arts
A and r guys having cookouts
On her back with super stars
But she had some nasty habits and some
Roadwork to repair this drama queen
Sometimes beachwood yelled at laurel
On the terms of selling out
Then laurel yelled at beverly
For not knowing what life's about
With her trust fund friends and family,
It felt just like an earthquake
When she'd shout
And silverlake just stood there
With her nose up in the air
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
I dont fucking care
Bout the drama all you idiots are buying,
Selling, leasing, up there
San fernando was a struggling actor
Drove a deli truck to the sets of porno
Movies, just trying to make a buck
While his pilot sits in escrow, he dreams of
Dating beverly one day
Sunny Day Real Estate Lyrics- Butch Walker
And yeah it's another sunny day
(outside of my rainy life)
Outside of my rainy life
(How long till I'm dry again)
Yeah it's another sunny day
(Drowning in the tears that I cry)
Drowning, how long till I'm dry again
(outside of my rainy life)
Outside of my rainy life
(How long till I'm dry again)
Yeah it's another sunny day
(Drowning in the tears that I cry)
Drowning, how long till I'm dry again
Maybe It's Just me Lyrics- Butch Walker
Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow
Like a neon sign and maybe we should be alone for ever after,
Cause even thought the nights are long
At least I'll make it another day
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And maybe things got weird after all that went down
Things were oh so clear,
That I could never get the right
So tell me what your plans are
And tell me what you're doing
The only thing I'll hold against me is a picture of you tonight
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
And I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is...
Time for you to think things over
Time to talk the drama down
It's not a contest of who'll try harder
Or who'll cross the finish line
And I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
And I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time
I don't think I've seen your face just glow
Like a neon sign and maybe we should be alone for ever after,
Cause even thought the nights are long
At least I'll make it another day
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And maybe things got weird after all that went down
Things were oh so clear,
That I could never get the right
So tell me what your plans are
And tell me what you're doing
The only thing I'll hold against me is a picture of you tonight
Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
And I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is...
Time for you to think things over
Time to talk the drama down
It's not a contest of who'll try harder
Or who'll cross the finish line
And I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry,
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise
And I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time
Mixtape Lyrics- Butch Walker
You say hello, inside I'm screaming I love you
You say goodnight, in my mind
I'm sleeping next to you
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don't know
But you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun
You talk to her, and you say that you feel like he's the one
I talk to me, but you can't hear the pain I feel
You don't know
Cause you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the sad songs ain't so sad
I only wish that there was more than that
About me and you
[Bridge]
Oh, don't turn around and say bye again
Yeah it crushes my head when you call me
Your friend and I'm not the same person
From back in the day in the back of the class
That you thought was gay
No I can't find the words cause I lost them
The minute they fell out of my mouth
And it's love and I'm in it, so give me your lips
And just let me kiss 'em
And let's get messed up and listen to probably...
The best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
You say goodnight, in my mind
I'm sleeping next to you
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don't know
But you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun
You talk to her, and you say that you feel like he's the one
I talk to me, but you can't hear the pain I feel
You don't know
Cause you gave me the best mixtape I have
And even all the sad songs ain't so sad
I only wish that there was more than that
About me and you
[Bridge]
Oh, don't turn around and say bye again
Yeah it crushes my head when you call me
Your friend and I'm not the same person
From back in the day in the back of the class
That you thought was gay
No I can't find the words cause I lost them
The minute they fell out of my mouth
And it's love and I'm in it, so give me your lips
And just let me kiss 'em
And let's get messed up and listen to probably...
The best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
#1 Summer Jam Lyrics- Butch Walker
Don't put another thing on my plate
My brain is so full of your face
I ate I counted the hours
Since the minute that I drove by you
And I got a scar where you saw me
Don't think I'll see you around
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cause I let you go
I like to think I'm a pretty slick guy
But something in the sunlight between your thighs
Turned me into mush with a certified crush on you
Oh, what a fool I must be
So far away from my world.
[Chorus]
And it's never been so weird
To be at the bottom looking up
And I went into this movie of blood and guts
Thinking I was the shit, I was all grown up
And I wonder, if you wonder, what we could be
My brain is so full of your face
I ate I counted the hours
Since the minute that I drove by you
And I got a scar where you saw me
Don't think I'll see you around
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Everyday's a Monday
Now that you're gone
Come back Sunday (come back Sunday)
Before I got a minute
The minute was gone
Think you kinda dug me
But other guys are up above me
Trying to get to you cause I let you go
I like to think I'm a pretty slick guy
But something in the sunlight between your thighs
Turned me into mush with a certified crush on you
Oh, what a fool I must be
So far away from my world.
[Chorus]
And it's never been so weird
To be at the bottom looking up
And I went into this movie of blood and guts
Thinking I was the shit, I was all grown up
And I wonder, if you wonder, what we could be
So At Last Lyrics- Butch Walker
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
But I don't ask why
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a careless season it started just the other day
And what'd you expect
That just for no reason I packed it in and drove away
Now I don't mean to pin this one on you, darlin'
It's time I found something good
When it comes right down
You're just one of many people that never really understood
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
But I don't ask why
As I drove into a city painted on the desert
With everthing 10 miles high
Hard to believe that nobody will see what I see
Through my blood shot eyes
Now I don't mean to sound so young and naive
But I think we've found something good,
And now I can feel me leaving who I used to be
As we're driving into Hollywood
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
But I don't ask why
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
And now I know why
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a careless season it started when I woke today
And now that I'm here
It's all so very clear
The reason that I drove away
Now I don't mean to call so early now, darlin'
But the waves just feel so good
And I'll always come around
And watch the sun go down
Just like you knew I would
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
But I don't ask why
So at last southern California
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
And now I know why
Sun sets like a long goodbye
I've been dreaming about it for days
But I don't ask why
I can feel it in my bones
I'm a careless season it started just the other day
And what'd you expect
That just for no reason I packed it in and drove away
Now I don't mean to pin this one on you, darlin'

Uncomfortably Numb Lyrics- Butch Walker
Detox, Detox where are you?
You coulda saved me from a disaster
What with all these cell phone numbers
It's gonna be weeks cleaning off my dresser
I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby
The first time's the worst time
Then you become so uncomfortably numb
That you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
That says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me
Sober sober, send yourself over
I did it again last night
I wasted a good conversation
'bout music and God
On an outta work coked up, A&R guy
I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby
The first time's the worst time
Then you become so uncomfortably numb
That you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
That says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me
You coulda saved me from a disaster
What with all these cell phone numbers
It's gonna be weeks cleaning off my dresser
I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby
The first time's the worst time
Then you become so uncomfortably numb
That you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
That says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me
Sober sober, send yourself over
I did it again last night
I wasted a good conversation
'bout music and God
On an outta work coked up, A&R guy
I love it I hate it
I can't live without
I love it I hate it, baby
The first time's the worst time
Then you become so uncomfortably numb
That you can't hide the fake smile
Stare into space with a look on your face
That says: gotta get outta Los Angeles
So blind I can't see
Gotta get outta Los Angeles
Gotta get Los Angeles
Outta me
Joan Lyrics- Butch Walker
Joan moved away to Colorado
Said she found God and a boyfriend as well.
One that won't hit her or make her feel shallow
There's a lot to learn about Joan
Before I moved in Joan had a fling with the landlord
So she got to stay here for free
And I'm not a genius but I figured out
There's a lot to learn from Joan
And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right
I went to the closet to get dressed for work
When I spotted a box I had not seen before
With all kinds of letters that never got sent to a guy in Colorado since 1994
And I know it's wrong
But I sat and opened in no certain order
A letter or two she talked about blisters and bruises of anger
And she bought a handgun to learn how to shoot
And the last letter said that she had to get out
But I couldn't make out the rest of the note
From the blood stains all over the page of the letters
There's a lot to learn
And there's a lot I learned about Joan
And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where you slowly misplaced your life
Oh and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right
Said she found God and a boyfriend as well.
One that won't hit her or make her feel shallow
There's a lot to learn about Joan
Before I moved in Joan had a fling with the landlord
So she got to stay here for free
And I'm not a genius but I figured out
There's a lot to learn from Joan
And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right
I went to the closet to get dressed for work
When I spotted a box I had not seen before
With all kinds of letters that never got sent to a guy in Colorado since 1994
And I know it's wrong
But I sat and opened in no certain order
A letter or two she talked about blisters and bruises of anger
And she bought a handgun to learn how to shoot
And the last letter said that she had to get out
But I couldn't make out the rest of the note
From the blood stains all over the page of the letters
There's a lot to learn
And there's a lot I learned about Joan
And after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where you slowly misplaced your life
Oh and after all this time, you were waiting on the ride
To stop at the place where they slowly misplaced your life...
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right
Go get it right
Don't Move Lyrics- Butch Walker
Good morning sunlight
As I get used to you
It's all gonna be all right
I did all I can do
And as I'm waiting for those eyes
To say what's on your mind
I finally think I've found the words to say...
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
So many black and white
Are made to be so blue
We've all got our wars to fight
But I won't fight with you
If I could just get your attention
I'd never let it go
Until you've felt what I am gonna say....
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
[Bridge]
Oh, why's it gotta be that everybody's gotta see the sadness
Everybody's lonely, we don't have to be lonely
Baby, no baby oh, I can move you like an earthquake
Listen to me as my hands shake
Cause I want you, I need you
I can't live without you, baby
Baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
As I get used to you
It's all gonna be all right
I did all I can do
And as I'm waiting for those eyes
To say what's on your mind
I finally think I've found the words to say...
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
So many black and white
Are made to be so blue
We've all got our wars to fight
But I won't fight with you
If I could just get your attention
I'd never let it go
Until you've felt what I am gonna say....
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
[Bridge]
Oh, why's it gotta be that everybody's gotta see the sadness
Everybody's lonely, we don't have to be lonely
Baby, no baby oh, I can move you like an earthquake
Listen to me as my hands shake
Cause I want you, I need you
I can't live without you, baby
Baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
Lights Out Lyrics- Butch Walker
There was a blackout in my heart in the summer of '03
I was walking over bridges
Tryin' to find my way to me
When the power was restored
I can't describe the damage done
This would be the first time
And no it wasn't fun
All these aging hipsters with another axe to grind
So put me on the battle field
Where hardcore goes to die
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
I'm feeling kinda bored so let's go charge up the car
Let's all put on those trucker hats
And head out to a bar
We'll end up in the standard in the bathroom
Doing coke this is very Hollywood
And yeah I get the joke
Everything tastes better
When the Novocaine sets in
So have a second helping of the ones you call your friends
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
Why don't ya all f-f-f-fade away
Vodka rhymes with lotsa
Bourbon rhymes with hurtin'
These are things I'm gonna feel
This much I know is certain
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
I was walking over bridges
Tryin' to find my way to me
When the power was restored
I can't describe the damage done
This would be the first time
And no it wasn't fun
All these aging hipsters with another axe to grind
So put me on the battle field
Where hardcore goes to die
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
I'm feeling kinda bored so let's go charge up the car
Let's all put on those trucker hats
And head out to a bar
We'll end up in the standard in the bathroom
Doing coke this is very Hollywood
And yeah I get the joke
Everything tastes better
When the Novocaine sets in
So have a second helping of the ones you call your friends
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
Why don't ya all f-f-f-fade away

This much I know is certain
Can I get a hell yeah
(If you're as lost as I am)
Yeah dawg
(If you hate that expression)
Doggin' on others is now my profession
Since you blew the lights out in my heart
Best Thing You Never Had Lyrics- Butch Walker
Hello how you doing?
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem
Let me blow off some steam
For 5 years I've waited,
So why am I jaded to get back at you
What makes it cool
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
And it seems like a loss somehow
My heart got lost on the way to my head
And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when the green turns to red
And I should be dead
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around, how can that be?
Don't turn this around
You were the one
Who drove my ass right to the ground
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like
Someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
You broke this down
The best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that you never had
You never had...
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem
Let me blow off some steam
For 5 years I've waited,
So why am I jaded to get back at you
What makes it cool
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
And it seems like a loss somehow
My heart got lost on the way to my head
And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when the green turns to red
And I should be dead
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around, how can that be?
Don't turn this around
You were the one
Who drove my ass right to the ground
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like
Someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
You broke this down
The best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that you never had
You never had...
Race Cars And Goth Rock Lyrics- Butch Walker
I see him look at you and speak with such eloquence
All I can do is rhyme eloquence with presidence
It's the only word I think about
When your his and not mine...
(So unkind, so unkind)
And it gets so annoying like a chick magazine with 17 subscription cards shoved in between
They fall past my seat
And they land at my feet
Right next my pride, now can you beat that?
And what I can I say I come racecars and goth rock
And what can you do
You're just California gridlock
I'm a broken down camaro overheated
But you'll never know you're the one that caused this crash
7 days passed since your last break up note
With its shaky and scribbled out, started over, broken words
That you wrote you know having what you needed wasn't good enough for you
Never do, never do
And now you're in his house that's the size of a mall
I've never seen a grand piano look so fucking small
You know probably one of many things that are small about him too
And what I can I say I come racecars and punk rock
And what can you do
You're just California gridlock
I'm a broken down camaro overheated
But you'll never know you're the one that caused this crash
Can we just try to forget that we were ever very different
Cause the tattoo on your shoulder tells me baby that ain't true
But I like that in you, so quit tryin' to prove yourself
And wake up and lose yourself in me
And what I can I say I come racecars and cock rock
And what can you do
You're just California gridlock
I'm a broken down camaro overheated
But you'll never know you're the one that caused this crash
And what I can I say I come racecars and pop rocks
And what can you do
You're just California gridlock
I'm a broken down camaro overheated
But you'll never know you're the one that caused this crash
All I can do is rhyme eloquence with presidence
It's the only word I think about
When your his and not mine...
(So unkind, so unkind)
And it gets so annoying like a chick magazine with 17 subscription cards shoved in between
They fall past my seat
And they land at my feet

Promise Lyrics- Butch Walker
Well I fumbled for a pencil
And my I'm so sorry pad
And I wrote until I sprained my stupid brain
Well you know that there's a reason I made this up so fast
I though I'd never get a chance to say
What's on my mind, I'm never kind
When my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of wine
But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can
I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere
As long as it sounded good
While coming out
And I can't blame it on my father
He gave me my 1st beer
And he held my head back as I puked it out
What was I saying, there I go playing
The game I know so well
Talking about myself when it should be you
But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can
And my I'm so sorry pad
And I wrote until I sprained my stupid brain
Well you know that there's a reason I made this up so fast
I though I'd never get a chance to say
What's on my mind, I'm never kind
When my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of wine
But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can
I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere
As long as it sounded good
While coming out
And I can't blame it on my father
He gave me my 1st beer
And he held my head back as I puked it out
What was I saying, there I go playing
The game I know so well
Talking about myself when it should be you
But I promise I can love you
Just like a man
And I promise I can hold you
Like nobody can
Thank-You Note Lyrics- Butch Walker
As she woke up for the final injection
The sickness was hard
When there was no one around
And it spread to her hands
And it spread to her legs
And they felt like the mud from the pond on the ground
That she played in as a kid
What she did to deserve this
While her friends were at parties
She was on the floor, with a mixture of blood
Sweat and tears by her head
That's when she said, can I be dead?
Yeah I've heard that before
So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you
Just hung the painting that we found of London
I never saw the beauty of that city before
As it sat in our basement next to board games and year books
With a faint smell of must, dust and dog food on the floor
So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you
The sickness was hard
When there was no one around
And it spread to her hands
And it spread to her legs
And they felt like the mud from the pond on the ground
That she played in as a kid
What she did to deserve this
While her friends were at parties
She was on the floor, with a mixture of blood
Sweat and tears by her head
That's when she said, can I be dead?
Yeah I've heard that before
So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you
Just hung the painting that we found of London
I never saw the beauty of that city before
As it sat in our basement next to board games and year books
With a faint smell of must, dust and dog food on the floor
So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you
My Way Lyrics- Butch Walker
So you grew up in a town where everybody's all the same.
Like a city full of zombies going by the same name.
Saying "Eat this", "Wear that," Think ya know just where it's at,
when everybody's just alike, Now tell me how you deal with that!
This much is true, So here's the finger let me say it.
There's the right way, then there's my way
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.
You got the ultimate song, but you're fuckin' up the words
and you're falling from the bridge that goes straight into the verse.
They're sayin' "Do this", "Do that", tell ya how to wear your hat.
If everyone was just alike I don't think I could deal with that.
This much is true, So can ya hear me as I'm saying, .
There's the right way, then there's my way,
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.
I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 4]
There's the right way, then there's my way, there's a highway, [repeat 2]
if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.
There's the right way, then there's my way,
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.
I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 3]

Suburbia Lyrics- Butch Walker
Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far.
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat,
working eight days a week at the Laundromat.
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck,
about everything he does so much it makes him sick.
So he sits home alone, with the game on TV,
as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia.
Best not let it get the best of you.
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Remember playing games at the rich kid's home?
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone.
Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy...
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad (I knew why)
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a queer
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
he said, "Guess it kinda ran in the family".
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Remember the girl down the street with the kids
That used to come outside, but she never did?
(why?) 'Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her,
'cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater. (ow!)
and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited 'til he came, he lie there naked
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking
all along, so long for everything you done wrong
Here's a bullet, go to hell, 'cause its where you belong!
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?
No one understands it, no one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in.
So I put my Outkast record on,
turn up the volume 'cause I'm all alone and scream away.
Remember the cutest couple in the world
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl.
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A.
She cried and he cried as the plane flew away
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way.
Two years later she reads in the news,
he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew.
'cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same,
'cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed.
he never got to tell her 'cause he died that year,
from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer,
and the whole world cried, but just for one day
'cause sooner or later, the pain goes away.
Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?
Just another day [repeat 6]

Trouble Lyrics- Butch Walker
Partied at a house 'til four,
came out from a closet door, makeup all over my face.
We just do what people do, how was I to know that you
were gonna turn around and say,
"Somethin's not right", somethin' that night.
Since you gave in, I gave out.
I put in, you put out.
and you screamed and I shouted.
Now we're both in lots'a trouble.
You gave in, I gave out
I put in, you put out.
And now somethin' about it says
we're both in lots'a trouble.
Both in lots'a trouble, yeah yeah.
No one knows about the mess we got ourselves into, I guess,
responsibility slapped my face.
and how I'll never look at you, without being a part of you.
I know you're scared of what we gotta face.
But I'll hold you tight, and be your nightlight.
Cause you gave in, I gave out. [repeat 2]
I put in, you put out.
And you screamed and I shouted
now we're both in lots'a trouble.
You gave in, I gave out
I put in, you put out
And now something' about it says

Both in lots'a trouble,
Both in lots'a trouble,

Alicia Amnesia Lyrics- Butch Walker
She drives a black Iroc with hot pink leather.
Got a good butt, but can't remember whether
she's a good girl or she's bad, or count the sex she's had.
Comes home late with grocery sacks
and brothers in his hat, doin' Michael Jackson.
Doesn't know her dad, since he dropped her on her head.
and if there's one thing I can say, is she takes all my breath away.
She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all.
and that's the last I fall for Alicia
She got a summer job at the mall in town.
Sellin' shiny clothes to the bands in town,
who are trying to be so cool,
and they always make her drool.
Takes all I have to say "hey"
when she's cleaning out the manic, panic, hair dye trays,
and I can always bet, she'll ask me if we've met.
If there's one thing I can say, (one thing I can say)
every time that she walks away,
She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for Alicia (Alicia) Amnesia (Amnesia)
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for you! Alicia
Amnesia.
Got a good butt, but can't remember whether
she's a good girl or she's bad, or count the sex she's had.

and if there's one thing I can say, is she takes all my breath away.
She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all.
and that's the last I fall for Alicia
She got a summer job at the mall in town.
Sellin' shiny clothes to the bands in town,

She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know her name.
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for Alicia (Alicia) Amnesia (Amnesia)
Every time that I call, she can't remember at all,
and that's the last I fall for you! Alicia
Amnesia.
Sober Lyrics- Butch Walker
Can you please, remind me how you feel?
This emptiness is real, I can't bear the thought of it.
and please, remind me how to smile, I lost track after awhile.
Is happiness so hard to get?
Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
I didn't know, that time could move so slow,
when you've got nowhere to go, the silence is so deafening.
Waking up, on the wrong side of your mind.
How could I have been so blind, to see I'm losing everything?
Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
Oh, Sooner or later, we gotta stop this elevator.
You go your way and I'll go mine, I'm sure that I'll be fine.
Now is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
Sober, as I got sober.
As I got sober, I watched you fade, I watched you fade.
This emptiness is real, I can't bear the thought of it.
and please, remind me how to smile, I lost track after awhile.
Is happiness so hard to get?
Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
I didn't know, that time could move so slow,
when you've got nowhere to go, the silence is so deafening.
Waking up, on the wrong side of your mind.
How could I have been so blind, to see I'm losing everything?
Is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
Oh, Sooner or later, we gotta stop this elevator.
You go your way and I'll go mine, I'm sure that I'll be fine.
Now is it me, or is this over?
As I got sober, I watched you fade away.
Is it me, or is this ending?
As I was pretending, I watched you fade away.
Sober, as I got sober.
As I got sober, I watched you fade, I watched you fade.
Into The Black Lyrics- Butch Walker
I walk around in circles, just like a dog with vertigo,
As I go insane.
The sun shines all around me, on the world, and everybody with somebody,
while I'm in the rain.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
The streetlights flash in tempo with my heart that's poundin' although I,
haven't had a heart for days.
If I could just be honest, get my feelings off my chest, and on your mind
I could find the way.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.
And I'll tell you that everything's gonna be alright.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
The black, (Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.)
oh, fall into the black.
As I go insane.
The sun shines all around me, on the world, and everybody with somebody,
while I'm in the rain.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
The streetlights flash in tempo with my heart that's poundin' although I,
haven't had a heart for days.
If I could just be honest, get my feelings off my chest, and on your mind
I could find the way.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.
And I'll tell you that everything's gonna be alright.
'Cause it's you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
you that can break me and keep me on my back.
'Cause it's you that can save me from falling into the black.
The black, (Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right.)
oh, fall into the black.
Get Down Lyrics- Butch Walker
So you had a lot of friends, big black Benz,
Rockin' like "Dokken" til the party ends.
Pink champagne, can't complain, everyone's there for you.
Messed up hair, messed up nose,
Cocaine habit that no one knows about.
Even thought the lies get told, everybody knows the truth.
Can ya get down?
I don't wanna be around,
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down?
You ain't acting like you're suppose to.
When you fall down, will it even make a sound.
'Cause you're a boom batter and your wallet's getting fatter, fatter.
Livin' for yourself thinkin' no one else will even matter
Skeezin' and you sneezing, your allergic to the normal crowd,
I heard you were from Cartersville, (Oh my God, don't say that too loud!)
So afraid that they're gonna know, that you're gonna show that you're normal.
Normal? (normal!)
Shit I'd better fight, overdose, date a model I suppose, everything'll be alright.
Can ya get down,
I don't wanna be around when you come down,
Get your feet back on the ground
can ya get down.
You ain't acting like you're s'posed to.
When you fall down ,
will it even make a sound?
Can you get down?
I don't wanna be around
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to
When you fall down, will it even make a sound?
Keep it down
[repeat x2]
I don't wanna be around
When you come down
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to (s'posed to)
Will it even make a sound?
Rockin' like "Dokken" til the party ends.
Pink champagne, can't complain, everyone's there for you.
Messed up hair, messed up nose,
Cocaine habit that no one knows about.
Even thought the lies get told, everybody knows the truth.
Can ya get down?
I don't wanna be around,
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down?
You ain't acting like you're suppose to.
When you fall down, will it even make a sound.
'Cause you're a boom batter and your wallet's getting fatter, fatter.
Livin' for yourself thinkin' no one else will even matter

I heard you were from Cartersville, (Oh my God, don't say that too loud!)
So afraid that they're gonna know, that you're gonna show that you're normal.
Normal? (normal!)
Shit I'd better fight, overdose, date a model I suppose, everything'll be alright.
Can ya get down,
I don't wanna be around when you come down,
Get your feet back on the ground
can ya get down.
You ain't acting like you're s'posed to.
When you fall down ,

Can you get down?
I don't wanna be around
When you come down.
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to

Keep it down
[repeat x2]
I don't wanna be around
When you come down
Get your feet back on the ground.
Can ya get down
You ain't acting like you're suppose to (s'posed to)
Will it even make a sound?
Far Away From Close Lyrics- Butch Walker
I was set up from the get-up, and I drove the wrong way home.
Into your eyes of blue, yeah I could barely take my mind off you.
So you set it, then you let it, slowly take the life from you.
Getting so high from the fumes, of a burned out so-called you.
And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe...
We could try to find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.
You were faking, I'd mistaken, you for someone I once knew.
Into the ring I flew, like a wrestler falls on cue.
Can you show me? Please show me. why it all went down in flames.
Was it 'cause I made it through, and you were just too fucked up to?
And I feel so far away from close to you, and maybe...
We could finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.
Head is stinging, phone is ringing
Words just burnin' right on my tongue
Please put up the magazine,
I'm burning up like gasoline,
I'm all alone on the phone,
So baby won't you please pick up?
(won't you please pick up?)
I was set up, from the get-up
won't you please pick up the phone?
I feel so far away from close to you, and baby
All I wanted was to see you walk right through
and I feel so far away from close to you and baby
we can finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and..
between my heart and you.
Into your eyes of blue, yeah I could barely take my mind off you.
So you set it, then you let it, slowly take the life from you.
Getting so high from the fumes, of a burned out so-called you.
And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe...
We could try to find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.
You were faking, I'd mistaken, you for someone I once knew.
Into the ring I flew, like a wrestler falls on cue.
Can you show me? Please show me. why it all went down in flames.
Was it 'cause I made it through, and you were just too fucked up to?
And I feel so far away from close to you, and maybe...
We could finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and you.
Head is stinging, phone is ringing
Words just burnin' right on my tongue
Please put up the magazine,
I'm burning up like gasoline,
I'm all alone on the phone,
So baby won't you please pick up?
(won't you please pick up?)
I was set up, from the get-up
won't you please pick up the phone?
I feel so far away from close to you, and baby
All I wanted was to see you walk right through
and I feel so far away from close to you and baby
we can finally find a way to walk right through,
the plastic wall between my heart and..
between my heart and you.
Diary Of A San Fernando Sexx Star Lyrics- Butch Walker
Little Jewish princess, never recognized.
Replaced the Star of David for the ones in your eyes.
So you popped a vicodine and ran away from everyone,
and everything you thought you knew.
Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes,
who never have a job, but they got the attitudes,
the clothes, and the shoes, and a disease or two,
and every head turns on cue.
When she flies like a ballerina babe,
strung up so high. Everybody have you seen her?
The side no one knows, she shows on video.
She's a San Fernando sex star and she's fine.
Telephone screaming on the bathroom floor,
Momma tryin' to call ya since July 4.
Erase the message along with the life
of everything ya knew before.
Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls,
lime green carpet, and your meth lab stall.
Mattress full of money and five locks on the door,
as she falls to the floor.
From tryin' to fly, like a ballerina babe
strung up so high, everybody have you seen her?
The side no one knows, she screams on video.
She's a San Fernando sex star and she's fine.
East coast transplant now in California
Can ya feel the side effects of finally leaving Georgia?
Nothing you can do about it, Daddy tried to warn ya.
Allowance cut off, blue jean cutoffs,
Feelin' like a cut out paper whore.
When she flies like a ballerina babe,
strung out so high, everybody have you seen her?
the side no one knows, she screams on video
She's San Fernando sex star.
Where are you?
Now, Where are you?
Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?
Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?
Replaced the Star of David for the ones in your eyes.
So you popped a vicodine and ran away from everyone,
and everything you thought you knew.
Hangin' by the pool with the leisure dudes,
who never have a job, but they got the attitudes,
the clothes, and the shoes, and a disease or two,
and every head turns on cue.
When she flies like a ballerina babe,
strung up so high. Everybody have you seen her?
The side no one knows, she shows on video.
She's a San Fernando sex star and she's fine.
Telephone screaming on the bathroom floor,
Momma tryin' to call ya since July 4.
Erase the message along with the life
of everything ya knew before.
Life is pretty good with your wood grain walls,

Where are you?
Now, Where are you?
Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?
Now, Where are you?
San Fernando sex star?
If (Jeannie's Song) Lyrics- Butch Walker
All alone in your dirty chair, washin' all your dirty hair,
and you're wonderin' how long 'til they come for you.
Watch the lines form on your face and down the block all the people chase
just what you were after, before this happened to you.
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you and let you fly to the angels
If I could be your pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day it might just be enough to say
All the things I never said to you.
Make the plans to fall in place, only to fall behind in the race
and you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off.
And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel
a bit too much. Are you ready to get off?
If I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel.
If I could be the pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I've never said to you. (to you)
And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you
And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you won't show will kill you.
What you don't know wont' hurt you at all.
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel
If I could be the pain, I'd run from you so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I never said to you. (to you)
Never said to you.
(What you don't know won't hurt you)
(What you don't show will kill you)
(What you don't know won't hurt you)
No, No, No, (what you don't show will kill you)
Never said to you,
to you,
to you.
and you're wonderin' how long 'til they come for you.
Watch the lines form on your face and down the block all the people chase
just what you were after, before this happened to you.
And if I could be the chains, I'd fall from you and let you fly to the angels
If I could be your pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day it might just be enough to say
All the things I never said to you.
Make the plans to fall in place, only to fall behind in the race
and you can't keep up and I know that it pisses you off.
And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel
a bit too much. Are you ready to get off?
If I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel.
If I could be the pain I'd run from you, so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I've never said to you. (to you)
And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
What you don't show will kill you
And what you don't know won't hurt you.
What you won't show will kill you.
What you don't know wont' hurt you at all.
And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you and let you fly like an angel
If I could be the pain, I'd run from you so far away.
If I could turn the time back just one day, It might just be enough to say,
all the things I never said to you. (to you)
Never said to you.
(What you don't know won't hurt you)
(What you don't show will kill you)
(What you don't know won't hurt you)
No, No, No, (what you don't show will kill you)
Never said to you,
to you,
to you.
Take Tomorrow (One Day At A Time) Lyrics- Butch Walker
You got lost, For a while.
You've been trying to find a smile.
You got stood up, then you fell down,
and when you needed , there was no one 'round.
You loved the previews and hate the movie.
You scream at the screen, "Something move me!"
before you start to fade away.
Give me all your fear, Throw it all away.
and think about the good things, no matter what they say,
we'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
one day at a time.
You just stare into space,
you found love but it got erased,
you're on the road with all the stoplights,
and you're too afraid to turn the wrong from right.
You ate your soul and it made ya fat,
starve yourself from everything else that makes you completely full.
So give me all your fear, throw it all away.
Think about the good things, no matter what they say.
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
one day at a time.
So you run, so you hide,
and you watched as they die,
they all fell, you could fall too,
or you could sew your wings and try to fly right through.
Give me all your fear, throw it all away.
Think about the good things, no matter what they say.
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
You've been trying to find a smile.
You got stood up, then you fell down,
and when you needed , there was no one 'round.
You loved the previews and hate the movie.
You scream at the screen, "Something move me!"
before you start to fade away.
Give me all your fear, Throw it all away.
and think about the good things, no matter what they say,
we'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
one day at a time.
You just stare into space,
you found love but it got erased,
you're on the road with all the stoplights,
and you're too afraid to turn the wrong from right.
You ate your soul and it made ya fat,
starve yourself from everything else that makes you completely full.
So give me all your fear, throw it all away.
Think about the good things, no matter what they say.
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
one day at a time.
So you run, so you hide,
and you watched as they die,
they all fell, you could fall too,
or you could sew your wings and try to fly right through.
Give me all your fear, throw it all away.
Think about the good things, no matter what they say.
We'll take tomorrow baby, yeah,
One day at a time.
One day at a time.
I Just Want You To Want This Again lyrics - butch walker
[from "Here Comes The… - EP"]
I sat up front 'cause you wanted the back.
I touched your leg through the vinyl seat crack.
Of my best friends' Camaro
Hoping this trip never ends.
You said to call and I watched as you left.
I told my friend not to pull off just yet
So I could watch every inch of you walking away.
And I just want to want you again.
And I just want you to want this again.
I can't turn my drunken words into song
I spit at the keys and it turns out all wrong.
Are you reading to short version or reading the long?
I don't know.
And I sat by a couple tonight over drinks.
I listened just long enough to reflect and think
About what it's like to get love
What it's like to show.
And I just want to want you again.
And I just want you to want this again.
I sat up front 'cause you wanted the back.
I touched your leg through the vinyl seat crack.
Of my best friends' Camaro
Hoping this trip never ends.
You said to call and I watched as you left.
I told my friend not to pull off just yet
So I could watch every inch of you walking away.
And I just want to want you again.
And I just want you to want this again.
I can't turn my drunken words into song
I spit at the keys and it turns out all wrong.
Are you reading to short version or reading the long?
I don't know.
And I sat by a couple tonight over drinks.
I listened just long enough to reflect and think
About what it's like to get love
What it's like to show.
And I just want to want you again.
And I just want you to want this again.
