The Reckless and the Brave Lyrics
[Chorus]
Long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I wanna be saved
My song has not been sung
So long live us
[Verse 1]
Looking out at a town called Suburbia
Everybody's just fighting to fit in
Little rats running mazes, having babies
It's a vicious little world that we live in
Looking back at a life on the other side
I realize that I didn't fit in
Didn't hate it but I didn't quite relate it
To my precious little world
[Chorus]
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times, so come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
[Verse 2]
Breaking out of a town called Suburbia
I remember everybody always saying
Little brat, must be crazy, never make it
In our vicious little world
Still I'm leaving
Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity
Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be
Take a breath, say goodbye
To their precious little world
(And say goodbye to me)
[Chorus]
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times, so come what may
I don't think I'll ever be saved
Our song has not been sung
Long live us
Long live us
[Bridge]
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
[Chorus]
So long live the reckless and the brave
I don't think I want to be saved
My song has not been sung
And long live the fast times, so come what may
(Breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
I don't think that I'll ever be saved
I know our song has not been sung (breaking out of a town called Suburbia)
Long live us
Long live us
Backseat Serenade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lazy lover, find a place for me again
You felt it once before, I know you did
I can see it
Whiskey princess, drink me under, pull me in
You had me at "Come over, boy, I need a friend"
I understand
[Chorus]
Backseat serenade, dizzy hurricane
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)
Backseat serenade, little hand grenade
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio, radio)
[Verse 2]
You take me over, I throw you up against the wall
We've seen it all before but this one's different
It's deliberate
You send me reeling, calling out to you for more
The value of this moment lives in metaphor
Yeah, through it all
[Chorus]
Backseat serenade, dizzy hurricane
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)
Backseat serenade, little hand grenade
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio, radio, ra-)
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
Backseat serenade, dizzy hurricane
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone (Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone)
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)
Backseat serenade, little hand grenade
Oh, aren't you sick of sleeping alone? (Oh, aren't you sick of sleeping alone?)
You're salty like a summer day
Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio, radio)
[Outro]
Oh, God, I'm sick of sleeping alone
If These Sheets Were States Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
Lost in empty pillow talk again
[Verse 1]
This bed's an island made of feathered down
And I'm stuck here alone
Little else but memories of you on memory foam
Visions of a brighter love, I'd kill for one more day
To pool my thoughts and find the words to say
[Chorus]
If these sheets were the states and you were miles away
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me
I settle for long distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
[Verse 2]
This room's become a mausoleum filled with relics of regret
Paying dues to every moment wasted on words left unsaid
Collisions of a finer love, I'd kill for one more way
To tell you how you make me better every day
[Chorus]
If these sheets were the states and you were miles away
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me
I settle for long distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
[Bridge]
Lost in empty pillow talk again
Lost in empty pillow talk again
[Chorus]
If these sheets were the states and you were miles away
I'd fold them end over end to bring you closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me
I settle for long distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk
I settle for long distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
Somewhere in Neverland Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say goodbye to the halls and the classes
Say hello to a job and the taxes
The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine
Tell me how you feel over and done with
Like your life is a map with no compass to guide
At the bar drinking way too much
We sing along to "Forever Young"
So here we go again wishing we could start again
[Chorus]
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Somewhere in Neverland
[Verse 2]
We’ll start a life of the plain and the simple
Of great times with far better people
And weekends with our friends
Laughing about the wine that stains their teeth
We’ll talk about how your parents separated and
How you don’t wanna make the same mistakes as them
I’ll say it’s all about stickin’ it out
And trying to feel forever young
So here we go again wishing we could start again
[Chorus]
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Somewhere in Neverland
[Bridge]
So here we go again
Wishing we could start again
[Chorus]
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Somewhere in Neverland
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Somewhere in Neverland
So Long Soldier Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in '95
A little boy from just outside of London
Took a fated trip across the ocean
Little did he know
That he would find his voice in verse and chorus
Making wishes on his broken stereo
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't shake the noise from his bones
Hear it all play out in distant echoes
[Chorus]
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation
[Verse 2]
Late 2005
The boy's got plans as crazy as his friends
They take their chances driving West alone
Give him six more years
And see what time will do for hopeless dreamers
Singing wishes to their broken stereo
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't shake the noise from their bones
Hear it all play out in distant echoes
[Chorus]
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation
So long, soldier
Cruise controller
Satellite trajectory, guide us into reverie
And come down to voice a generation
The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stop fucking around with my emotions
I like you better when you're numb
I'm sick and tired of false devotion
Devote yourself to moving on
Or suck it up and let it go
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the break lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for-
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for-)
[Verse 2]
You think opinions make you savvy
(Like you're some kind of expert)
Your running mouth falls on deaf ears
You say you're winning 'cause you're laughing
Well, I'm crying crocodile tears
Just suck it up and let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
[Bridge]
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
Why can't you just be happy for me?
I'll never be good enough, no
I'll never be good enough
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're always out to get me
[Chorus]
You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers
That's just my luck these days
Why can't you just be happy for me?
You're the brake lights failing as my car swerves off the freeway
It kind of feels like sabotage
Why can't you just be happy for
Why can't you just be happy for me?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for)
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na (Stop fucking around with my emotions)
Na na na na na
Na na na na na (Why can't you just be happy for me?)
To Live and Let Go Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rush of the past
I quietly crash and the tables turn
You're beautiful, strange, defiantly brash
Be careful now
Kid you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest
[Chorus]
If there's something left to be learned
Then my time is running
Why should I waste it all, waste it on you?
I shouldn't be trusted to live and let go
When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing?
Why did I waste it all, waste it on you?
I couldn't be trusted to live and let go
[Verse 2]
Fill in the blanks, pencil on paper
Disposable
Throw away lines
Intentional but unbelievable
Kid you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest
[Chorus]
If there's something left to be learned
Then my time is running
Why should I waste it all, waste it on you?
I shouldn't be trusted to live and let go
When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing?
Why did I waste it all, waste it on you?
I couldn't be trusted to live and let go
[Bridge]
Shaken and tried
Fade and resign as the tables turn
Let's slip away, the renegade life you've been dreaming of
Kid you're a cut above
Always just a cut above the rest
[Chorus]
If there's something left to be learned
Then my time is running
Why should I waste it all, waste it on you?
I shouldn't be trusted to live and let go
When the last of my cities have burned
Then what's left in nothing?
Why did I waste it all, waste it on you?
I couldn't be trusted to live and let go
Outlines Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm half remembered, half way across the world
Twice removed from a second home
The shadow of a ghost in an old haunt
With a lease on life 'cause I can't afford to own
When being young starts getting old
A new place saves face or so I’m told
Be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop
[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment
[Verse 2]
I’m twice the man that I thought I was yesterday
Half the time, I’m a world away
A flicker of a soul casting silhouettes
On the face of a town that could not get me to stay
And when the spark’s gone, former lovers
Just looking for a bus to throw me under
I’ll be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop
[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but we’ll be a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment
Just for a moment
[Bridge]
When being young starts getting old
A new place saves face or so I’m told
I’ll be the new kid on an old block
A chalk outline on a playground blacktop
[Chorus]
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
We could be a story in the morning but a legend tonight
I’m just a moment so don’t let me pass you by
And they can speak our names in a dead language
'Cause you and I, we’re alive
But just for a moment (you lose)
Just for the moment (no, you lied)
Just for a moment
Thanks to You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thanks to you, I'm moving on
Chasing out my skeletons and the troubles they have caused
And all thanks to you
I'm turning over the pages in this book of revelations about self-medication
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's this ringing in my head
(Who said it was gonna be easy?)
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
[Chorus]
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Verse 2]
Thanks to you I've lost my touch
I struggle to find the sense in making sense
And giving a semblance of a fuck
And thanks to you for all the nightmares
There's not a night that I sleep quiet and complacent without my medication
Because there's this ringing in my head
Who said it was gonna be easy?
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
[Chorus]
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's this ringing in my head
As the ghost of you hangs over my bed
[Chorus]
Thanks to you I'm not myself
I'm all strung out, that much is clear
And I'll spend my whole lifetime
With your life-line wrapped around my throat
Thanks to you, all thanks to you
[Outro]
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
Thanks to you
For Baltimore Lyrics
[Intro]
Mayday, situation overload
I'm restless, obsessed with your future
And all my worries they don't bother you
Collected, you render me useless
But I carry on
[Verse 1]
Right now, I think that you think that I'm
Half drunk, searching for something of
Substance, casually dropping a line, designed
To keep you next to me
I can't awkwardly craft in advance
I know that you wouldn't fall for that
You say "Shut up and take my hand"
And we carry on
[Chorus]
I don't wanna say goodnight
The city comes alive, when we're together
Why can't Thursday last forever?
I don't wanna say goodnight
I've never been so sure
Just do it for the memories
Do it for Baltimore
And do it for me
[Verse 2]
Hot damn, look at me now
I'm all caught up riding the high of my
Good luck, casually dropping a line, designed
To keep you next to me
I bet you never thought you would fall again
So much for keeping this just friends
Shut up and kiss me now
And we carry on
[Chorus]
I don't wanna say goodnight
The city comes alive, when we're together
Why can't Thursday last forever?
I don't wanna say goodnight
I've never been so sure
Just do it for the memories
Do it for Baltimore
And do it for me
(Do it for me)
[Hook]
Mayday, situation overload
I'm restless, obsessed with your future
And all my worries they don't bother you
Collected, you render me useless
But I carry on
[Chorus]
I don't wanna say goodnight
The city comes alive, when we're together
Why can't Thursday last forever?
I don't wanna say goodnight
I've never been so sure
Just do it for the memories
Do it for Baltimore
And do it for me
Paint You Wings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
Heavy the head that bears the crown
Of my mistaken, apathy for sympathy
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so
[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I was a pawn in all of your plans, you kept me busy
Locked behind your chamber doors when you felt frisky
Until you got sick of me
I was never good enough to be anything but remedy
To all of your constant pressing needs
And I never learned, so
[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
[Bridge]
When will the princess figure it out
She ain't worth saving
When will the world get over all her misbehaving?
Will we ever learn?
[Chorus]
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
(She can fly away)
I painted a picture of the things I wanted most
To color in the darker side of all my brightest hopes
But there's a monster standing where you should be
So I'll paint you wings
And I'll set you free
[Outro]
She can fly away
So Long, and Thanks for All the Booze Lyrics
[Intro]
Pick yourself up off the ground
You're sure as hell too good to let them hold you down
[Verse 1]
Waste of chances, waste of time
You gotta let me be me
You waste it all on wasted lines
You gotta let me be me
Back myself into a corner once again
Take you for a liar while you call yourself a friend
It's the end, it's the end
[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me
You gotta let me be me
[Verse 2]
I gave a lot to let you in
You gotta let me be me
I shook your hand, you pulled the pin
You gotta let me be
Now I'm all ears to find you're lying through your teeth
You wear the smile to hide the coward underneath
Bittersweet, bittersweet
[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be, you gotta let me be me
[Bridge]
A waste of chances, waste of time (You gotta let me be me)
A waste of chances, waste of time
[Chorus]
So gimme gimme my motivation
Gimme gimme my dreams
You gotta tear me down to set me free
And gimme gimme my revelation, gimme back my scene
You've gotta let me be
You've gotta let me be
You gotta let me be me
