tell me what to say and i will say it to you i'd take one for the heartbreak one for the headache two for the constant tears one for the blindness one for the foolishness trying to keep you here i would stop waiting stop crying stop reading into why you're staying away so long i would stop calling stop writing stop faking stop denying you're as good as gone but i don't know so you just tell me what to say and i will say it to you i will do it for you i will burn this house down tell me what to say and i will say it to you i will do what you do i will burn us to the ground but even on weekdays even on sunday even in the blackest night even when you touch me and i know you don't love me and i can't make it right i would stop waiting stop walking stop trying to start you talking to say your own goodbyes i would stop drinking stop feeling breaking down and stop believing you might change your mind

jane can't keep herself home tonight keep herself believing she'll be alright keep herself awake to a body that's close to the hands and the feet that nobody else knows all the way from london she looks away laughing at herself and her black eye shade boy can't keep his pain under the glass laughing at the world as it just slides past i know this black eye waste these days waste this light i know this black eye waste these days waste this sunlight maybe permission ain't good enough maybe you need someone who can stand your love maybe somebody who's cool to the touch keep yourself for hurting yourself so much i know this black eye waste these days waste this spotlight let me crucify you let me sacrifice our love let me resurrect you be my resurrection now let me celebrate you let me hold your head up high let me hang you from the sky

You can laugh, you can feel fine
You can dance with a little twist
Tell you pretty red-head babe, you forget that I exist
Can you see yourself in a battered eye
Would you leave me on the side of the road
Would you wall crawl up to me, would you talk to me?

Already asking, down on my knees
I'm already begging, begging you please
Can you teach me how to fly?
You see I'm scared to die
I've only just begun to learn to crawl
Can you teach me how to fight?
You can keep me up all night
Would you be there on the ground if I should fall?
Fall for you

I can feel it like a spider's sting
Like a memory in my mouth
I feel like the morning fell, like the bottom's falling out
I can see what's up there above it all, even down in the valley below
Wall crawl up to you, I can talk to you

Already asking, down on my knees
I'm already begging, begging you please
Can you teach me how to fly?
You see I'm scared to die
I've only just begun to learn to crawl
Can you teach me how to fight?
You can keep me up all night
Would you be there on the ground if I should fall?
Fall for you
Fall for you

Na na na na (8x)

Can you teach me how to fly?
You see I'm scared to die
I've only just begun to learn to crawl
Can you teach me how to fight?
You can keep me up all night
Would you be there on the ground if I should fall?
Fall for you (Na na na na)
Fall for you (Na na na na)
Fall for you
