She has a way of speaking with her eyes
Such a way so she can read my mind
Oh those amber eyes leave me alone tonight
Because she has a guy, one I can see through
The ins and outs and all that he’s been through
Now too bad he’s all that she’s looking for
Oh here we go again
Yeah, we’re lost in our heads
and I’m just waiting for this catastrophe
to fall asleep without me
You seem to be replacing your skin with your plans
I’ll work the curves of your body and watch the veins in your hands
So take a deep breath before I dive in
Are you ready? Just say “when”
Your mind is racing with ideas of prosperous sin
You’re in the game to win and you’ll do whatever you can
So I cut all ties, and change with the seasons
Nights like these are filled with jealousy
that’s when fights break out and hearts break to to the sound
of broken glass, there’s broken glass on the floor again

The sun rose up above the alleyway
We skipped school and made a quick getaway
Who would’ve ever though we’d have to plan for
a life outside these walls
My Monday mornings fell by the way side
While Friday nights I’d always feel so alive
It’s really gonna suck when we all have to say goodbye
So please stay the night
Here’s to the fights
and all the friends that I’ve left behind
We’ll live fast with a vision of love and die young
To save ourselves from misery
I fell in love over stupid conversations
where I would always try to make her smile
But ever since we stopped talking
I haven’t done that for a while
Because, she drove to the outskirts of town
With the hopes that she would drown
In the silence of no one knowing her name
So who’s to blame?

And as the days go by
words fall from our mouthes
words we can’t hide, so we write them down engraved
into our skin they’ll stick with us until the day we die
So when the lights go out
will you still be there or will you have skipped town?
To leave me thinking of all those nights
and stupid fights where you said you cared but you lied
Now I’m leaving this town
I’m packing up so say goodbye for now
Cause I know, I’ll see you in my dreams
The spark is dead you were the death of me
And as the days go by
you keep telling people all your lies
Painting them a picture till its black and white
I’m no where in sight, you’ve pinned everything on me [it wasn't me]
So I’ll follow my dreams before they are caught
In a web and I’m stuck where you are
'Cause a life with no regret is a life worth fighting for
Tell me; where do you stand tonight?

We grew up on the outskirts of town
Every single day was another spent by ourselves
But we learned to cope with that
Back seat memories
the light night liquor daze where even I couldn’t speak
But those days have passed us by
We’ll get by with what we’ve got
We’ll make the best of this
Drinking games, with our friends.
Lining up the - shots - and, 'party' till "3AM"
... Just to keep the 'memories' alive
So we’ll fuel the fire with YOUR words;
Doused in alcohol - so they dig deep down -
and burn your self-esteem;
and innocence to the ground.
"I burned the evidence - everything we’ve ever done is up in smoke...
But you should know; I only took a bullet so we can move on"

I was waiting outside your house ... it was "2AM".
Hoping you'd see the problem ... hoping you'd see yourself.
I swear I've tried to fix this up right!
I'm not the same guy that you gave up on last night.
The words you burn like cigarettes leave me high and dry, and alone inside.
And when the sun goes down, and you leave this town.
Never to be seen again.
My eyes are dry from lack of sleep;
they're brittle and I can barely speak.
A word for the wise; maybe next time...
I won't drink so much.

Here’s to the nights, the times we felt alive!
With memories forever hatched in time...
With scrapes and bruises we made our marks;
trying to find our way home.
So tell me, what’s bothering you?
As I trace the outline of your room...
So crawl through your window and say goodbye!
'Cause we’re black and bleeding through these pages of our lives.
And I left my youth in California
and took an oath to never 'change'
So we'll break out of this scene, and keep our heads up high.
'Cause we don't need to feel bad tonight.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We’ve all made mistakes, but that’s what life is for,
so please don’t ever forget what happened last summer.
