Thinking, That’s All Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Play your hand
Don't play it off
Don't play that game
Out of touch
There is no pride in seconds lost
[Verse 2]
First cello suite
I know I'm late
What do you care?
Stop dragging feet
We can't go back for seconds lost
[Chorus]
(DRIVE, BY, DON’T, STOP)
Drive by, don't stop
(DRIVE, BY, DON’T, JUST BECAUSE YOU)
Drive by, don't stop
(HATE, WINS, DON’T, STOP)
Hate wins, don't stop
(HATE, WINS, DON’T, JUST BECAUSE YOU PLAY)
[Verse 3]
Smooth the sheets
No one was here and no one will
Wind your watch…
FOR SECONDS LOST
[Chorus]
(DRIVE, BY, DON’T, STOP)
Drive by, don't stop
(DRIVE, BY, DON’T, JUST BECAUSE YOU)
Drive by, don't stop
(HATE, WINS, DON’T, STOP)
Hate wins, don't stop
(HATE, WINS, DON’T, JUST BECAUSE YOU PLAY)

9 ContributorsRockstar LyricsWhere you're hiding, the shine off the wall
Stop giving it up now because you're going to find yourself a mastermind in time
Rockstar, what's mine is yours
Rockstar, you're looking good
You're looking fine
I’m fine
I'm the stranger here you know
Can't you understand that things always work out
My way
Today
Rockstar, what's mine is yours
Rockstar, you're looking good
You're looking fine
I’m fine

Get off my battlefield
You could not take it back from me
It's all the way up top
Cannot take a longer way
Get off my battlefield
Could not take it back from you
It's all the way up top
Cannot make a longer way
That's all
It's all
Can't fall
Away
Back (Rockstar)
Back
Claire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One chance to show your face
This one shot all you get
Pass by your one good thing
Lift your head back, shoot and chase
[Pre-Chorus]
Never hear you laugh like that, so full
Not since you were nine
[Chorus]
Unsettled, severing
Always severing old ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life
[Verse 2]
Learn your restricted ropes
Paint a cross on your left hand
One good thing signed away
And with it, your only hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Attention focused on today
So quiet, slip behind my back
[Chorus]
Unsettled, severing
Always severing dead ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life
[Bridge]
One way trip can work both ways
And loose ends kept untied make better friends
The things you buy may someday leave you
[Outro]
Can you say full ride?
(I still see you)
Can you say?
(I still see you)
Can you say full ride?
(I still see you around)
Can you say?
(Around)
Call It in the Air Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Leave home today
Escape your region
It's in your head
Keep moving on
[Chorus]
Choose starlight, no way to retrace
(No way to retrace all your good days, add them up)
It is gone
Choose star bright, no way to retrace
(None of you knew any more than who's in here)
It is gone
[Verse 2]
Become your dad
Live unquestioned
It's in your head
Nostalgia's dead
[Chorus]
Choose starlight, no way to retrace
(No way to retrace all your good days, add them up)
It is gone
Choose star bright, no way to retrace
(None of you knew any more than who's in here)
It is gone
[Refrain]
Starlight, star bright
Starlight, star bright
[Bridge]
Can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands
Won't accept an honest answer from an open hand
Can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands
(Say the words and I sign off)
Won't accept an honest answer from an open hand
(Say the words and I sign off)
[Refrain / Outro]
Starlight, star bright
Starlight, star bright
Seventeen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
[Pre-Chorus]
It's harder than it seems
You slip but never fall
[Chorus]
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
[Verse 2]
Tearing down what we built up so well
Laying low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Going off when there's nothing wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
It's only in your dreams
But it felt like it was real
[Chorus]
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
[Verse 3]
Hang loose, my friend
Don't walk away from me
'Cause I really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart
[Chorus]
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
(You need to find yourself)
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
(You need to find yourself)
Episode IV Lyrics
7 ContributorsEpisode IV LyricsEpisode IV leads us away from here
Don't expect to find what you're looking to
I can see the light leading away from you
Let's disappear
We'll take a trip of no return to outer space
And swim in pools which keep us warm
Cleaned off the sand from off your feet
We'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked
And sing off-key, thinking it sounds all right
And you know, I almost lost my will to live
(We're sure) you tell time in your...

Digits Lyrics
6 ContributorsDigits LyricsPay attention
Stop paying for regret
Fossil resources all used up
Make the best use of your time
You could be on to something
Too skeptic, too tired to care
When they all seem to know at once
Sweet muse left me all alone
There's only my weight left
Euthanasia could be the greatest gift
It's all the same
So let me know
It's never changed
So let it go
(Wait outside your house to come back out)
It's all the same
So let it go
It's just what you...
Save the long car ride home
Don't leave your house today
Nothing lost but still nothing gained
No possibilities
All wasted, world gone under
Life means I hear my ears ring one more day
And you will see it through at once
Sweet muse, she won't be around today
Things that I could not say
Are we through yet?
Are you gone yet?
You're on and off
Phase in, phase out
Cross your heart
Crash, burn and fall
Under cushions hide the change
So no one knows
Just be careful who you tell
I really want to care when you say, "I'll change that."
I just don't feel a thing when you say, "We'll get there, someday."
Caveman Lyrics
4 ContributorsCaveman LyricsA monster lives in your backyard
The 2x4's are making their way around
The big get bigger when the fight's done
I found that secret door
A man with a shovel's going to dig deep down
To find out where it feeds
A house
A catalogue full of nothing good
The white house ponders no remorse
The big get bigger when the fight's done
I found that secret door
A man with a shovel's going to dig deep down
To find out where it feeds
A house
It seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands
It's in your name
It's in your face
I'm wrong again
World Is Static Lyrics
[We both know things never change]
(Take a seat at your request)
Between the money and your every move
(Five years, I'm still there)
[We both know static prevails]
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
(Take a seat at your request)
[We both know things never change]
Between the money and your every move
(Five years, I'm still there)
[We both know static prevails]
In the Same Room Lyrics
5 ContributorsIn the Same Room LyricsFingers in
Listen what voices say
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
You always wrote for me, ego
Risk worth taking, risk worth leaving
Seems I'm still afraid of promise
To promise
Too big to stop
Too big to hold down
Trade up for the fast ride
Trade your friends
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Pulling your teeth, you push away
Cancel plans, cancel them all
Check your breath for cold and hold on
Please hold on
No pictures left to burn goodbye to
The smell of ash and white walls blank
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Horizontal lines and button-up
Horizontal lines and button-up
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
The drawers of paper all say one thing
Like music boxes custom-made
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Robot Factory Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Falling off this cycle
And it really ticks me off
When you calculate this time and place
Looking over shoulders
Can always be like what it seems
When you were left to my old man
[Chorus]
I am why you bred me here
Tear these clothes down when we fight
[Verse 2]
Back around these towers
Like something you don't wanna see
Like yesterday, when you were found
Adding up misfortunes can always seem like holidays
When you were sent to be the one
[Chorus]
I am why you bred me here
Tear these clothes down when we fight
[Outro]
It's over, they found me, they made me
I can't believe they knew it, we blew it
Our fortunes, they've been retrieved
By humans who knew me
They used me to get what's mine
They'll never replace me
I'll be back, I want revenge
It's over, they found me, they beat me
I can't believe they knew it, we blew it
Our fortunes, they've been retrieved
By humans who knew me
They used me to get what's mine
They'll never replace me
I'll be back, I want revenge
Anderson Mesa Lyrics

Don't leave without intentions
Mind's made up, my own decision
Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back
Don't leave without intentions
Don't leave without intentions

Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted
Alone, I'm outside
Red sky, I wait there
Snowfall above me
So new, yet fading
Alone, I'm outside
Red sky, I wait there
Snowfall above me
So new, yet fading
