Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light (2007) by Jimmy Eat World (보컬) on maniadb.com

Before this world starts up again
It's me and night
We wait for the sun
The kids and drunks head back inside

Well there's lots of smart ideas
In books I've never read
When the girls come talk to me
I wish to hell I had

Get up! Get up!
Turn the ignition
Get up! Get up!
Fire up the system
Play my little part in something big

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!”
They'll say…

Back when I was younger,
I was someone you'd have liked
Got an old guitar I've had for years
I'd let you buy
And I'll tell you something else
That you ain't died enough to know
There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes

Get up! Get up!
Dance on the ceiling?
Get up! Get up!
Boy you must be dreaming
Rock on young saviour
Just don't get up your hopes

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!”

I have one last wish
And it's from my heart
Just let me down
Just let me down easy

I'll accept with poise, with grace
When they draw my name from the lottery
And they'll say: “all the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice”
I'm the one who gets away
I'm a New Jersey success story
And they'll say: “Lord give me the chance to shake his hand!”
They'll say…

I have a ringing in my head
And no one to help me answer it
Even with you close enough to kiss
Every minute is arranged
Every moment lasts a day
But thinking about it can't help me let go
I know

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh

I must look like I'm running away
To you at your faster pace
I wonder what it is you could have seen
In me

I'm the evil one who said
Gonna let everything just happen
Just like my chest, my ears are proud
The collision is such an ugly sound

I can hear you now

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
And all the placings
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can laugh it off
Heh heh heh, heh heh

Heh heh heh, heh heh
Heh heh heh, heh heh
I can hear you now

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Talk, talking a lot
But it's still talk
Gotta love how it's somehow all on me
All the petty scenes
And all the pretty things
Say whatever you want
'Cause I can laugh it off

Could have been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
How you gonna know the feeling
'Til you've lost it?
I've been losing plenty since

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and you're the reason
It's a dream
But there's a real world waiting

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history?
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you want to hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most, the best of anyone
You said to keep me in your pocket
So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Going to stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say its name

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
It passed

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
I'm still carrying a little hope
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
That maybe things could be different now
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong?
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight
At a place we'd go?
Could going through the motions
Lead to real emotion?
I want to make things right
Before time runs out
It was like you said
The taste don't taste like it should
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel
Just to feel you somehow again, yeah

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
Because it passed, it passed

Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
'Cause it passed, passed
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
Doo doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo doo-doo
It passed

I came up like everyone
They taught us all the same
I said what they told me to say
And then from that, they grade

Give up repeating the facts
Fact can be arranged
Here I am, I'll take my chance
Now play the record straight

Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Talking points from talking heads
With automated smiles
"There's no higher ground to stand
Than bottom of the pile"

Give up acting unaware
You can't ignore the crime
The enemy is you as well
The enemy is I

Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Not in my name
You don't speak for me
I am my voice
And I want to scream
You want my air?
You want my love?
I act as one
But I'm not alone

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Give it up
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh

Let the water come
She's the only one I love
Let the fat man drop
She's the sweetest honey pop

Will they see the sky again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

Let the factories rust
She's the only thing I trust
Let the virus spread
She's the silk lining my bed

Will they breathe our air again?
Who will sing their blues for them?

When you're feeling moved
You can have your conscience all you want
You can't say I do nothing
Yeah, I put it off

Where are you gonna go if they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?
Where you gonna run when they come for you?
Will there be someone left to sing your blues?

There's a chance
One of us will give in soon
I could ask
But what's an answer gonna prove?

When I try to get mad
But the fever drops
My heart can't break
'Cause the beating stops
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

Want a laugh?
Take a look around the room
It's a dance
Tired steps in brand new shoes

I can only take a guess
What the morning brings
If it feels too good
Then it probably is
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

I follow your sign where it leads
I go
But you turn your back so easily
It tells me everything I need, yeah

Waiting or the line
To move a foot, yeah
Wasting my life
On nothing good
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me

I should act
Tie it down or cut you loose
It's a trap
Any direction I move

When I try to sing along
The needle skips
I huff and then I puff
But the house is brick
You suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah, you suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah, yeah, you suck that lucky feeling right out of me
Yeah

On, it's on
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me

Light on up
With everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
Whatcha' gonna do

Waiting for attention?
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation?
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Here it goes
Crowning of the cool kid queen
There it goes
The competition show their teeth
I'll let them fight it out
It's just my party now
What I want to be

Step on up
Everyone in queue, in costume
Step on out
Don't get sucked in for a second
The bright lights might say your name
But they only light the stage
Nothing there to prove

Waiting for attention?
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation?
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Don't accept critique or credit
Their definition always changes
It's not the same as yours
You could be so much more
The closer that you get

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor
I'm only here in body visiting
Yellow faces and the distant screams
The beauty is in what isn't said
I'm rising to my feet

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive, and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

My gesso, my last call
My life is yours in your gifted hands
Confetti rainfall and the quiet street
These things I've found are special now
The knot is in my reach

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

Movie still-photograph
Through a martyr's eyes I can see
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned
And I've paid for every single word I ever said

Confetti rainfall in the quiet streets
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet

Because tonight, the world turned in me
Because right now, I don't dare to breathe
Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

Oh, babe, I know
It's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

This is where our diligence has led
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves
And leave the sand our want, our will, our doubt?

It's firefight, and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

This is now the moment after next
Are these still the eyes of the temptress?
Why open a door if you won't go?
Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know

It's firefight, and I, I won't run
There's spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive

Is there an answer?
And if it's an honest one
Honestly worth its question
There's no question
The city as my witness
I am who I want to be
But you could be anything
Just be anything and with me

Love is quartz and breath the second hand
If you let go then that's where time will stand

It's firefight, I won't run
There is spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no on else alive

You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world will spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, some honesty I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Oh back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

All talk and not a lot to think, we are living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind

Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Oh back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

Oh, oh take it all back, take your first, your last, your only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
When the feeling goes.

I told your eyes, I haven't...I've never felt this way
You said I have this shot that stops my clock
Baby it's okay
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus, is there's someone yet who got that wish?
Did you get yours, babe?

Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it

Let me have the keys and you can take a rest
From one lifeless main street until the next
Who knows what there was to see
Before the light turned green
There's so much here to learn.
The static or the silence don't know which is worse
The dial isn't broken that's the way it works.
To the new professionals,
Irregular is normal.
It'll all in how you pray
Not what needs to change.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

Imagine we had canvas with our midnight cold
We'd dig our fingers in and then we'd watch the snow.
Maybe i need stronger meds,
Don't let those feelings in
I can't get closer now.
Matter's straight across and just for me to use.
But theres always another choice, another way through
The notes of progress float along,
Over your candle song.
The game is how you play,
Not who wears a ring.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

Don't get comfortable
Don't be sensible
Swing with all you have
Stop me if you can.

I'm on the losing side
Not everytime
I'm gonna lose this love of mine.
Here are the words to find
Not one is mine
Why are we still so afraid?
The things we do deserve their rightful names.
