I guess I met the devil,
But I sure didn't know no better You were kool as hell like e-mail, But still timeless like a letter As I sit and I stare at the satanic glare, On the glass frame in front of your face You're alone on my shelf, Yelling "Look at yourself" I feel like Bobby Brady breaking the vase But now you're all screwed up Your so yesterday Miles away I promised myself on New Years Day I'd take a bath today And wash you away As all your little blond hairs go down the drain Your sister called me yesterday to tell me I was a loser At least I haven't lost my mind And at least I'm not a boozer As I tried to heed to your wants and your needs You were solemnly lost in space So keep reading your books on "how to give dirty looks" Everytime I should be put in my place Now you're all screwed up I guess I met the devil, But I sure didn't know no better You were kool as hell as e-mail But still timeless like a letter |

You traded all your tears
so I could see a happy face You sat all alone and read the writing on the wall You broke your heart and banged your cool up as you fell from grace You should've hung the net before you took the fall The lines are pretty long here, but you'll stand here anyway Until you see this ain't going over There's nothing left to show for Till you see Time ain't gonna make up for the times you'd never wake up for me I watched you build a castle on the beach one rainy day I saw it fall apart and roll out with the tide I think there's something metaphoric that I'm trying to say Open up your soap box and just crawl inside The lights are on but no ones home Stand there in the dark |

Don't ask me, I just crawled in here on my hands and knees
I can't see, from the fog on my glasses and sweating to death from the heat It's alright, I've been shit on before, I've had other doors slammed in my face But it's cool, I'll just go back to school And learn how to lie to you better (chorus) Let me write it on your hand So you won't forget Forget just what you had Go and write it on your hand 13 rings, and I picked up my cell phone and you gave me hell for awhile About stupid things, like hanging out with that guy, and why the hell does he always smile It's alright, cuz my phone's out of range, ain't it funny and strange how you're fading away, I can't hear what you say I guess you can write me a letter (chorus) |

Turn the tv off, put down the cosmopolitan
I'd like to think that I'm not asking alot Oh my god, this static is bad for my complexion This town has turned you into someone you're not And every other day I hear another brother say That I'm standing in line (chorus) Please, just let me go, just let me go And if it's all over, just tell me so, just tell me so Please, just let me go And I won't be your shadow anymore I passed the house last night, knowing it was my last time I'd see the dent of anger kicked in your car In the rear view mirror, thoughts of sex cross my mind Looks like the drama queen is finally a star And every other day I hear another brother saying that I'm crazy, for lying to myself and you for trying (chorus) You lost your mind, I lost my keys Sometime last night, when I was on my knees I miss the smile, that you traded for the cold piece of armor Wrapped around you heart (chorus) |

I was checked in by 4, put the sign on the door
Looked out the window of the 17th floor Yelled to the city that knows me by name, and all the bad things I do. I shed 5 bitter tears, into 5 bitter beers Looked at my watch and said, |

She dreams about, the girl she used to be
She dreams about, someone else underneath the sheets Well you can fly off to London with a coke and a smile But give it 24 hours and 4000 miles and it's All just another day away from one less day to cry (chorus) How do you feel about that How do you like it when they touch your face And turn the page Tell me now just how you feel about that She hangs around, the strangest kings and queens She gets around, but it only gets her clean Well all the after school specials of the days of your life And all the anti-drug commercials as you're high as a kite But it's all just another day away from one less day to cry (chorus) Every once in awhile, you should scream and let her out into the light Every once in awhile, you should tell yourself that it's alright |

She got the #27
Taken off her license plate Cuz that was my basketball number Back when we started to date And I know, it's better to be unfaithful To the people that you liked last year (chorus) You're still the same You'll never change Always a change You're still the same She's got a pretty mod cd collection In the glovebox of her car All the Blur, and The Cure, and Oasis cases Tell me you get struck by stars And I know, it's better to be unfaithful To the things that you liked last year (chorus) (break) I can't run, I can't hide, this ain't no Marco Polo You've gone and give yourself away And all this time, I just thought that I was crazy (chorus) |

I'll get the door Mrs. Jackson
I'll get the press and reporters too I'll wait outside your heart You're not a throw-away filmstar There's something different about you And I'll wait outside your heart (chorus) Cross my heart, I would die Shove the needle in my eye Be your sugar, I could try Where's the papers, let me sign All I want is to be wanted by you How is your head Mrs. Jackson How about a pain killer pill or two I'll wait outside you heart What in the hell are they saying They'll never understand me or you And I'll wait outside your garage, and your house, and your restaurant (chorus) |

Did you ever hear this one, about the one that got away
It slipped right out the back door, it was on the news today I was fishing for a hit song, when you woke me out of bed Now I'm inspired, and my brain is tired, and my eyes are bloody red Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word He gave you the castle, you gave me the bird (chorus) Everybody is grey (I'm turning blue) Everything that I say (It's about you) Don't take this wrong, I hope your arms are long Cuz you're gonna need 'em when I'm going over your head Hello, can I take your order? I've been waiting for days I'd like a little compassion, with a side of mayonnaise You never let the glue dry, when you broke me into And I'm not some stupid little model car, that you can abuse Go ahead and eat your sucker, I won't say a word He gave you the castle, so I'll give you the bird |

September '57, it was a very good year
That's when I met heaven, and all the smoke came clear I didn't see it coming, I was a very dumb kid Nobody ever touched me, quite like the way that you did And now you know that I suck at this, and you suck at it too And now we're nothing more than vampires in love (chorus) And I'm wide awake, and you're wide awake And I don't think that I'm getting tired at all This is the brightest sunlight, my shade will do me no good I ain't a morning person, but I'd be one if I could And cuz of us I just stay up at night, and watch stupid movies 'til the tv is white And now were nothing left but vampires in love (chorus) |

You walked into the bathroom, to wash your troubles away
You always seem to go in there about 20 times a day I dropped you off at your therapist, where you walked across the street To the neon lights with the purple door, where you passed out on your feet Don't think I don't see it all, the beautiful high and the sobering fall begin It's a kick ass day, wish you were here, send a postcard telling me when you're here again Cuz I can't get through to you (chorus) There's a lot I could say, there's a lot I could do If I had it my way, but I don't and you do Makes me throw up to say, that I cared at all I gave a lot, and now I'm shot And shit like that's like sour lemonade I tried to call your favorite bar, but I got a drunk Australian He talked a million miles an hour, but I can't tell what he's saying Something about a song by KISS, and how they watched you piss yourself away As the glass goes crashing to the floor, from the phone booth, I hear more delay Cuz I can't get through to you (chorus) |
