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

[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

[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

[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

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

[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

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

[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

[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

[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, 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, woah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

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

Floatin' in the dark

Temporary scars

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 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 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!

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

[Interlude]

Did you find some happiness with me?

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
