today was bright—the tomorrows and the afternoons too
but that's before you get up from this bed, decided enough, to put on your shoes
i'm supposed to make you tea, then make you laugh while i bake macaroni for you
perhaps the greater mornings ahead are just evenings in disguise where lights are off and
bugs are flying around the room

the lights are open but people are sleeping
the beer cans are left on the floor
no one's drinking them anymore
the music has faded, the whispering has turned into intergalactic dust
no one's listening anymore
the party is over
why are you still here?
is nobody waiting at home?
well, stay for a minute then don't extend
'cause i plan on sleeping alone
throw all the hats now
throw all the red cups
throw all the promises
throw all the bottles
throw all the battles
throw all the memories we made
'cause now the party's over
move on
the cops are out there but people are nowhere
except for us two sitting here
no one's looking out for us
all the board games we'd play, you're always winning
i never scored one point at darts
when i entered this city, i least expected i'd leave with a dumbfounded broken heart
the party is over
why are you still here?
is nobody waiting at home?
well, stay for a minute then don't extend
'cause i plan on sleeping alone
throw all the hats now
throw all the red cups
throw all the promises
throw all the bottles
throw all the battles
throw all the memories we plan to make
'cause now the party's over
move on

it's paradise, every time i'm with you
you make me smile when i feel like crying too
i run around making everybody happy
but you're the one who ever truly really know me
so you sing me a song til your throat has dried out
and you bring me to town so we can walk around
and i know i'll survive
*** you're by my side
you are the one for me to love
more than the nameless god above
i could go to hell by just saying that
but i don't care at a lot
just let me love you, love
every single time they lie, there's always a hidden clue
so tell me one or many, i'll help you figure out the truth
through the years, we're trying prevent our fall
well, let's fall down now
don't be scared
i'll be with you through it all
i'll sing you a song til my throat has dried out i'll bring you to town so we can scream aloud
yes, we'll be alright
we'll frighten those ghosts every night
you are the one for me to love
more than the nameless god above
i could go to hell by just saying that
but i don't care at a lot
just let me love you, love

verse:
let me have my coffee first before you say good bye
let me look up at the sky before you say it twice
let me fix my bed first before i fix my life
before i fix somebody else's
chorus:
maybe we should be
bigger than this
bigger than who we wanna be
better than who we could be
maybe we should be
just shadows in the night
some souls who lost their bright
when they wished upon those starry eyes
verse:
let me have my coffee first before i say good bye
let me look up at the sky so i can ask him why
let me fix my bed first, i don't have to save your life
'cus you're not saving mine
we're just shadows in the night

verse:
look at them, they're looking at us
they must be thinking that we are in love
the way we sway, the way we touch
it's not a mistake, but you said, "enough."
so, i'm on my own beat, and you are on yours
figuring things, happy but forced
you phoned a ring, i answered, of course
you tell me one thing, i followed your voice
chorus:
you said "it's time for us to dance again tonight, do you mind?
don't want no other waist between my hands to hold tight.
lock your hips, turn around,
click your feet, back to my sound,
it's time for us to dance again tonight, is that alright?"
verse:
i'm trembling, as you took my hand
i looked at him, should give him a chance
but here i am standing with a pain in my feet,
and a beautiful devil in front of me.
i'm thinking about hitting and running
but looking at you, just changes my plans, so i took a breath,
i said "leave me alone"
the clock struck twelve, you said, "please don't go"
bridge:
the music doesn't fit us anymore
maybe it's time we take a bow right now on the dancefloor
you'll be dancing again, with a different friend and you wouldn't be alone
don't be afraid about learning new steps 'cus that is the way love goes.

verse:
we've been friends for over a year.
i've fallen in love with you.
where do we go from here?
you're the dream i'm after,
but you dream about her
and of another.
the list is never over.
pre:
for a lover, you walk a mile
but for a friend, you barely try
but when it comes to me,
you cross a sea.
though your feet are bare
and the waves are tall,
though it's the peak of heat,
and there are ships at war
you do everything.
i'm left assuming
chorus:
when i look into your eyes,
they speak and tell me i'm so fine,
but your mouth tells me otherwise
where do we go from here?
and when we walk by together
you think of living forever
with her, not me,
where do we go from here?
verse:
i've gone out, broke many hearts
of some people i don't know
just so that they let me go.
and you act so innocent
as if you're not reading this.
i'm not that good of a liar
left them, *** it's you i desire.
chorus:
when i look into your eyes,
they speak and tell me i'm so fine,
but your mouth tells me otherwise
where do we go from here?
and when we walk by together
you think of living forever
with her, not me,
where do we go from here?
bridge:
for a lover, i walk a mile
but for a friend, i barely try
but when it comes to you,
i make red hearts blue.
for a daydream, you're dark as night.
for a holy, i'm crucified.
there are street signs there,
but we're not getting somewhere.

tell me honestly, what else she can offer aside from her pretty features...when things get ugly, at least she'll look good in pictures.

and then maybe one day, you'll confess
that you did like me back
but by then, you'll be with her—happy.
and i'll be with him—trying to be.
maybe one day you'll confess,
or maybe you won't.
so if you only have one lie left to tell,
please tell me you love me
even if you don't.
because even if it isn't true,
i'll never know.

my mama told me:
"find a love that stays,"
i thought it's going to be difficult
but then, i met you.
it wasn't that difficult
to find a love that stays
i mean, my love for you did stay
—you just didn't.

you're no trouble, no goner,
you're just playing the wrong beat.
you're no elephant in the room,
you're just dancing the wrong move.
they got your photo for display
they must've mistaken your face.
if you think you're dead today,
it's just the start of the race.
so get up, get up, get up
no broken bones must stop you now.
heads up, heads up, heads up
it's time to press play again.
go and wear your crown,
go and see the crowd,
let them know that you're around,
make them kneel to the ground,
you're the king of this town.
do they know the pearly whites hide underneath the yellow stains?
do they know that every villain is the star of his own **** play?
do they even realize you fought your battles for them?
even realize they just sit when you stand up for them?
but they get the glory,
not even feeling sorry.
it's funny how your story is getting out of control.
you think that you are winning, but then you lost your throne.
you congratulate them on your big, fake smile,
and then you comfort yourself when you sleep at night.
'cus for a second you thought you have everything:
got a pocket full of money, got the man of your dreams,
got a blanket for a cold, hard night, got the stars,
got the job that you want, got a seat in the park
but then everything's gone when you wake up the next day
you're looking for a bed, but you have slept on the floor, hey,
where are your clothes? why does your face wear blue?
there ain't no writings on the wall, but if there's one, it came true.
there's a special place for the non-believers
i didn't say in hell, but you get the picture.
how are you gonna pull yourself together when the world pushes you down all the time?
