Doll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know in all of the time that we've shared
I've never been so scared
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
[Verse 2]
I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn't quite prepared
Doll me up in my bad luck
Uh-huh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh
Doll me up in my bad luck
I'll meet you there
Monkey Wrench Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What have we done with innocence?
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on plannin' my revenge
[Pre-Chorus]
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
[Verse 2]
All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends?
Now and then, I'll try to bend
Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
[Post-Chorus]
Temper
Temper
Temper
[Bridge]
One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than
I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still, there's one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free!
[Chorus]
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
[Outro]
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
Hey, Johnny Park! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colors
Everything fades in time, it's true
Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you?
[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move
[Verse 2]
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue
[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move
Move
Move
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mind with you
[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move
Move
Move
My Poor Brain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That's where our heads are
My head and your heart
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Verse 2]
When you are so far
I'm fallin' apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel I'm gettin' stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck!
[Verse 3]
You've got me on guard
I've got my head start
My head and your heart
The same in the stars
[Chorus]
This is a blackout
Don't let it go to waste
This is a blackout
I wanna detonate
[Outro]
Sometimes I wish that I could change!
I can't save you from my poor brain! Ready!
Ready! Ready, okay
Wind Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
Spare me confession, it's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind, but I don't mind 'cause I'll catch up!
[Chorus]
I want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
[Verse 2]
Will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
Will you be happy when we're sharin' a cell?
Spare me the questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize that I get shy and I choke up!
[Chorus]
I want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What's wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
[Bridge]
Farewell my sweet paramania
Farewell my sweet paramania
[Verse 3]
My only promise is that I'll never tell!
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt!
I'll bite the bullet, take the beating until!
I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say?!
[Chorus]
I want a song that's indelible, like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
Up in Arms Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The rain is here, and you, my dear
Are still my friend
It's true, the two of us
Are back as one again
[Chorus]
Well, I was the one who left you
Always comin' back, I cannot forget you, girl
Now I am up in arms again
[Verse 1]
The rain is here and you, my dear, are still my friend
It's true, the two of us are back as one again
[Chorus]
Well, I was the one who left you
Always comin' back, I cannot forget you, girl
Now I am up in arms again
[Verse 2]
Together now, I don't know how this love could end
My lonely heart, it falls apart for you to mend
[Chorus]
Well, I was the one who left you
Always comin' back, I cannot forget you, girl
Now I am up in arms again
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Well, I was the one who left you
Always comin' back, I cannot forget you, girl
Now I am up in arms again
[Outro]
Well, I was the one who left you
Always comin' back, I cannot forget you, Gil
Now I am up in arms again
My Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Too alarmin' now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
[Verse 2]
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out?
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
[Bridge]
Kudos, my hero
Leavin' all the best
You know my hero
The one that's on
[Chorus]
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
See You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These notes are marked "return to sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
[Chorus]
How good it is to see you
See you
See you, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
These steps I take don't get me anywhere
I'm getting further from myself
One thing is always true
[Chorus]
How good it is to see you
See you
See you, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
I'm done resenting you
You represented me so well
And this I promise you
How could I end up in the hands of someone else?
[Verse 1]
These notes are marked "return to sender"
I'll save this letter for myself
I wish you only knew
[Chorus]
How good it is to see you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you
See you, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Enough Space Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
I was waitin' for something
Maybe flyin' machines
That's when I found Lili
Best I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
[Chorus]
But there never seems
To be enough space! Space
Space! Space
[Verse]
I was waitin' for something
Maybe flyin' machines
That's when I found Lili
Best I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
[Chorus]
But there never seems
To be enough space! Space
Space! Space
Space! Space
Space! Space, woah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Space! Space
Space! Space
Space, space
Space, spa—, hey! Hey!
February Stars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm hangin' on
Here until I'm gone
I'm right where I belong
Just hangin' on
[Verse 2]
And even though
Watched you come and go
How was I to know
You'd steal the show?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
One day, I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
And bet it all
[Verse 1]
I'm hangin' on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hangin' on
[Verse 3]
Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You ask for walls, I'll build them higher
We'll lie in the shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall
[Chorus]
February stars
Floatin' in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floatin' in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floatin' in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
Everlong Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Dave Grohl]
Hello, I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head, she sang
[Refrain: Louise Post]
Do do do do do do dododo
Do do do do do do dododo
Do do do do do do do do
Do do dododo
[Verse 2: Dave Grohl]
Come down, and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow, how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head, she sang
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Grohl]
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
[Chorus: Dave Grohl & Louise Post, Dave Grohl]
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
[Refrain: Louise Post]
Do do do do do do dododo
Do do do do do do dododo
Do do do do do do do do
Do do dododo
[Verse 3: Dave Grohl]
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now, I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head, I sang
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Grohl]
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
[Chorus: Dave Grohl & Louise Post, Dave Grohl]
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
[Spoken Bridge: Dave Grohl]
So, dad would take the Sundays off
And that's the only time he could ever get any rest
And so, because we were loud on Sundays
He'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, 'til we'd sleep
And they were really heavy boots and I used to say, "Dad, come on, please"
And like start crying, 'cause they're too heavy
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Grohl]
And I wonder
[Chorus: Dave Grohl & Louise Post]
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
Walking After You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you
Matter of fact
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-woah-woah-oh, I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh-woah-woah-oh, I'm on your back
[Chorus]
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
[Verse 2]
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you
Matter of fact
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-woah-woah-oh, I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh-woah-woah-oh, I'm on your back
[Chorus]
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
[Bridge]
Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
I cannot be without you
Matter of fact
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-woah-woah-oh, I'm on your back
[Chorus]
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
[Outro]
Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back, oh-oh-oh
New Way Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long
I'm still tryin' to keep this time from runnin' out
Head down, always movin' on and on and on
[Verse 2]
I never heard this warnin', another early mornin'
Takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me, I'll try to manage you, but
Lately it's all I ever do
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
[Bridge]
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holdin'
I know these things must bore you
I can't find another way
I'll never tell you the secrets I'm holdin'
I love this leash that holds me
When I try to run away
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared
I felt like this on my way home
I'm not scared
I pass boats and the Kingdome
I'm not scared!
[Chorus]
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
I felt like this on my way home!
I'm not scared!
I pass the boats and the Kingdome!
I'm not scared!
[Outro]
I'm not scared!
I'm not scared!
Dear Lover Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Dear lover
Do you remember?
The sound of your laughter and demise
And that was all
I need to fall in love
[Verse 1]
This matter
It's something bigger
Than anything that ever graced my heart
And that was all
I could fall in love with you
And I can't stall this now
[Interlude]
Did you find some happiness with me?
'Cause now I know the way true love should be
[Chorus 2]
Dear lover
Do you remember?
The piece of my heart that I gave you
That was all
I need to fall in love
[Verse 2]
It shattered
Slipped through my fingers
Floated down safely to your hands
And that was all
I could fall in love with you
I can't stall this now
[Interlude]
Did you find some happiness with me?
Now I know the way true love should be
[Break]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Interlude]
Did you find some happiness with me?
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
