So Cold I Could See My Breath Lyrics
[Intro]
Let's start with just the basics then
I'm sure that we could fake it when
It's time to say how much it meant
And we walk out so innocent
[Verse 1]
You can be so persuasive
When you say it's
More than a day trip
And convince me
I'm condescending
When I ask, "Will this be ending?"
How quickly lust can pretend that it's love
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(We are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Verse 2]
All the suspense
That we've created
Now it's wasted
And we can't change it
The beginning to the ending
I find myself remembering
[Pre-Chorus]
How quickly lust can pretend it's love
Designing words to help us believe
It's so much more than just tonight
So we have got to get this right
How quickly words can become our hands
(You want it more, you want it more)
Resigning everything we believe (you want it more, you want it...)
You want it, you want it
More
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
(we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Bridge]
You could be the one to stay
Made from earth for just this day
But something tells me it's not right
That we could lose it all tonight
I'm no better on my own
Leave the message on your phone
Always trying what I can to be a child and not a man
[Chorus]
We're just the boys and girls that think they always know
(We are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We're just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes
(We are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows
[Outro]
My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me with all the plans
(Something I'll be)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man
(So that I won't always lose)
In a Lose, Lose Situation Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't be late
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you've made
[Verse 1]
If I could tell the truth
Or lie would I attempt
The two at the same time?
Expect you to apologize for trying
To make me so uptight
Don't say it's just a game we play
I can't lose the taste
[Verse 2]
If you regulate how the blood is pumping
Through the veins from my heart into my head
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I'm thinking
May as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate
To this place!
This is still my life!
Not yours to define!
[Verse 3]
Anyone in their right mind would never let you inside
Anyone in their right mind
I've broken ties with the neighborhood
I'm feeling like a bum in the city
Waiting only to take a drink
From an empty glass of nothing good
I'm sinking like a stone in the sea
Without the oxygen I need
[Verse 4]
Deciding as I wait for it to entertain
Careful not to breathe in, to breathe in, to breathe in
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to breathe in, to breathe in, to breathe in
To breathe in the air
That so proudly puts to death
My own father's name!
[Outro]
I remember when your hands started shaking
There's a better way
To clean up the mess you've been making
In a Win, Win Situation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've noticed your design
‘cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning, burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls
In the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls
[Chorus]
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone
[Verse 2]
If we're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes, there's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
Not Valium or slow songs to
Relax my view, just you
Maybe your new perfume
[Chorus]
So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear
If you can't sleep alone
I'm better off, I'm better off
If you can't hear the song
Then turn it off, then turn it off
If you cast the first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all
[Bridge]
I start to sleep, but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back to start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Again, again, again
[Outro]
And I'll stay here
You’ll be gone for another year
The plans that I’ve made
Have fallen on deaf ears
And I’m beside myself now that you have gone
I’m beside myself now that you have gone
