Lying around
The answering machine had blinked more than I could count
The operator won't disclose she knows his whereabouts
I put money on it baby
Sweated it out
Sweated it out

Does it take two hands to count your mistakes?
You know your breath is heavy and I take

It's 7:55
Eastern Standard Time
And back to the grind
Though the roads are clear and dry
Out of the corner of your eye you see it
A lightning bluish blur
Left to right swerve
From curb to curb
There wouldn't be a chance to think
If time stopped with every blin

Back away, whoa, keep your hands where I can see them
This isn't a game, whoa, get out while you can
Before they have to lock me away

"Joey, when are you coming home?"
She asked me
I'm doing the best I can

And I will take you across the street
Like an animal with

Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once
Listen up 'cause I don't wanna repeat it twice
(x2)

Well I know I'm not what you wanted
But I've been holding out for anything
Holding out for anything I can
You keep me in focus
But I might as well be on the back of you

Safety isn't getting us safely anywhere
But I'm holding onto your scars as they disappear
Bite the bullet or swallow it whole
I'm leaving trails of dial tones
To push the feeling until it's broke

Be sure loneliness is a test
When your hands get colder and the "fun" star

No I won't think twice about it
Watch as our eyes fight to the death
Well I'm leaving but I won't leave here without it
Until my clothes get a bit of your scent

You don't need another friend
And I already knew
When I put it on the table
What I got into
I'm tensi

The saying goes
A dog can be chained to the porch and still bark at the cars
You'd never know what's going on in your companion's heart
I swear I wouldn't believe a word through her teeth
She's a troublemaker and her shoes are cheap

I remember saying "Whoa, why can't you ju

Well, well, well, what do we have here?
This cat's got one more life
I can't keep my fingers close to your pulse as you're going under the knife
Swell, show, and tell how you tear and tear
A ghost bled to pale white
Don't be so hard on yourself
That's what the cleaver's f

Two years ago you couldn't have cared less about me
All of a sudden we got pulled together and you don't want to leave
Tell me what you know and I'll be sure to ignore it...

The time that's passing and how we can't afford to let it go by us when you don't know
I've got a tune i

I've got all the things that I want to say
And wording them could be my masterpiece
Oh no
I've wiped that smile right off your face
But you and I know, it had to go

Scream, scream, scream louder than anyone you know
If giving up isn't half as hard as letting go
I do

And we begin right from the very start
Will you tell me how the worst was done by the whispering in parts?
And we begin right from the very start
I will tell you how the worst was done by the whispering in parts

"A chokehold looks just like an embrace from far enough away..."

We're getting better at keeping occupied alone
While we're going nowhere
We're going nowhere
The lights flashing in and out are anything but new
But they're scaring you to death in this situation you got us into
Will you sit still?
The road only gets rougher after the hil

Your friends were keeping you alive
But without them right by your side
It's getting hard and getting cold
Though growing up is a cliché
Your time has come I have to say
