| Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued | |

OUR LAWYER MADE US CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS SONG SO WE WOULDN'T GET SUED
Brothers and sisters- put this record down
Take my advice 'cause we are bad news
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose
It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says: "Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good so you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense
Brothers and sisters- put these words down
Into your notebook, spit lines like these: "We're good friends only when you're on your knees"
Make them dance like were shooting their feet
It's just past 8:00 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says: "Do not open before Christmas"
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good so you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only liars but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trend
We're only good 'caus you can have almost famous friends
Besides we've got such good fashion sense

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You only hold me up like this
‘Cause you don’t know who I really am
Sometimes I just want to know what it’s like to be you
We’re making out inside crashed cars
We’re sleeping through all our memories
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights, and turn off the shyness
‘Cause all of our moves make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I’ll never be the same
You only hold me up like this
‘Cause you don’t know who I really am
I used to waste my time, oh
I used to waste my time, oh
I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
Now I only waste it dreaming of you
Turn off the lights, and turn off the shyness
‘Cause all of our move make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains my pillowcase
Like I’ll never be the same
I’ve got headaches, and bad luck, but they couldn’t touch you, no
I’ve got headaches, and bad luck, but they couldn’t touch you, no
I’m not trying
You only hold me up like this
Turn off the lights, and turn off the shyness
‘Cause all of our move make up for the silence
And oh, the way your makeup stains
Like I’ll never be the same
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

She says she's no good, with words, but i'm worse
Barely stuttered out "A joke of a romantic" or just stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too, over-dramatic
Tonight it's "i can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."
I'm 2 quaters and a heart down
And i don't want to foget how your voice sounds
these words are all i have so i'll write them
so ya them just to get by
We will own the thoughts, we'll own the voice stuck in your head
we'll leave you kicking and screaming
so you can thank us in the end
Dance, dance
we're falling apart to half time
Dance , Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
dance! this is the way they loved,
if they knew how misery loved me
(in the background)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
(crawling into bed with me)
You always fold just, before you're found out
Drink up, it's the last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And i don't wanna forget how your voice sounds
these words are all i have so i write them
so ya need them just to get by
Why don't you show me, a little bit of spine
you've been saving for his matress ... love
Dance, dance
we're falling apart to half time
Dance , Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
dance! this is the way they loved,
if they knew how misery loved me
Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me
dance, dance (x4)

Drink down that Gin and Kerosene
And come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
And light a match and leave me be
And light a match and leave me be
I keep my jealousy close because
It's all mine
If you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
I keep my jealousy close beacuse
It's all mine
If you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Drink down that Gin and Kerosene
And come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
And light a match and leave me be
And light a match and leave me be
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be you best kept secret and your biggest mistake
(The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday)

"7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen)"
I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I?m sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own
The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose

"Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Of The Year"
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word
Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
Are we growing up or just going down
It?s just a matter of time until we?re all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
I?d burn this city down to show you the light
There?s a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And another around to help us bend your trust
I?ve got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie,"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up

"Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends"
You are a getaway car- a rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer away in a rear view mirror- you make my head swim
I keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and down they're all scrambling
And we're friends, yeah we're friends
Just because we move units
Strike us like matches, cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone else is trying, everyone else is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt
Oh yeah, you caught me. But I caught you way worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war."
But who are you fighting for?
The tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water

"XO"
I comb the crowd and pick you out
My mouth moves too fast for you to figure it out
It starts eyes closed to fingers crossed
?To I swear, I say?
To hands between legs, to ?whatever it takes?
To drinks at the club to the bar
To the keys to your car
To hotel stares/stairs to the emergency exit door
To the love, I left my conscience pressed
Between the pages of the Bible in the drawer
?What did it ever do for me? I say
It never calls me when I'm down
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Put your ear to the speaker
And choose awe or sympathy
But never both
Last time ?I hoped you choked
And crashed your car?
Hey ?tear catcher?, that's all that you are
And ever were
From the start
I swear, I say
To the ?love? I left my conscience pressed
Through the keyhole I watched you dress
Kiss and tell
(Loose lips sink ships)
