You’ve got this new head filled up with smoke
And I’ve got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
And safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
You start shaking at the thought
you are everything I want
‘Cause you are everything I’m not
And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close
I just wanna bring you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)
My inarticulate store bought
Hangover hobby kit it talks,
It says, "You, oh, you are so cool."
Scissor shaped across the bed, you are red, violent red."
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes
And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (How close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close
I just wanna bring you down so badly
(well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna break you down so badly
(In the worst way)
I just wanna bring you down so badly
(Well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna bring you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)
I’m gonna make damn sure that you can’t ever leave
No, you won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
I’ll make damn sure that you can’t ever leave
No, you won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far from me
You won’t ever get too far…
I just wanna bring you down so badly
(well I trip over everything you say)
I just wanna bring you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)
I’m gonna make damn sure
I just wanna bring you down so badly
I just wanna bring you down so badly (damn sure)
In the worst way (worst way)
I remember the times we spent together
On those drives
We had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York
Everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
Tonight
I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And I used to feel like dreamin’
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much
Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight
I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn’t wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late
I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus
And how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad
Sometimes not having you here
I sing
Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight
I sing
Tonight I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight…
Here we are, in the best years of our lives.
With no way of knowing,
When the wheel stop spinning cause we don’t
Know where we’re going
And here we are, on the best day of our lives.
And it’s a go, lets make it last, so cheers you
All to that, ‘cause this moment’s never comin’ back
I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her eyes on me.
Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,
She’s the only one around, and she means
Every little thing to me.
I’ve got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I’ve got
Your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
Long since we’ve been talkin’ and in a few
More days, we’ll both hook up, forever and ever
And here I am, on the west coast of
America and I’ve been tryin’ to think for weeks of
All the ways to ask you, And now
I’ve brought you to the place, Where I’ve
Poured my heart out, a million times, for a million
Reasons, To offer it to you
I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her
Eyes on me. Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,
She’s the only one around, and she means
Every little thing to me
I’ve got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I’ve got
Your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
Long since we’ve been talkin’ and in a few
More days, we’ll both hook up, forever and ever
I used to know her brother, but I never
Knew I loved her, ’till the day she laid her
Eyes on me. Now I’m jumpin’ up and down,
She’s the only one around, and she means
Every little thing to me
I’ve got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I’ve got
Your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
Long since we’ve been talkin’ and in a few
More days, we’ll both hook up, forever and ever
I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
I guess conversations never allow
And I’ve been feeling like I’m on some sort of marry-go-round
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
And I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
It took time for me to figure it out
And when I feel like I’m complacent with my
Head in the clouds
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
And every time I wonder what’s real you make me feel…
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
And I’m caught in bad weather,
In my Volkswagon Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art
Dear God, (art, art, art…)
I hope you hear me (art, art, art…)
And I’ve tried not to let anyone in until now
Misunderstandings are an easy way out
And I’ve been feeling all this pressure just to figure it out
And I know, don’t know, yeah I know, don’t know
And I know if I can stay strong I can make it
And try harder when I just can’t take it (can’t take it)
And when everything around me feels so broken and jaded (broken and jaded)
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
And every time I wonder what’s real you make me feel…
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
When I’m caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art
(art, art, art…)
It’s kinda of warped, but it’s picking up slowly
I don’t know, but I can if you’ll show me
I guess sometimes it takes more than just fake conversations
To feel like I know that
It’s kinda hard when I’m planning for something
To get across this whole without jumping
I guess sometimes it takes more than just false information
To find out who we are
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
And I’m caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
When I’m just falling apart
A really nice piece of art
