1.So Bad
you were here when i wrote this one
so when you hear it you'll know that it's yours
you were high as a bird perched
beside me listening closely
mesmerized by the words
that i would sing to you
through your headphones
well you looked so damn cute in those headphones
just a quick hello but you'd soon go
and i miss you so bad i miss you so so bad
and i need you so bad
i need you so so bad
i need you so bad
these four just the same chords
i would use every time you would tell me,
baby, write this one about me
you'd never catch me
i'm stealing last night's story oh
but i doubt you really cared at all, no not at all
you're the muse in my life
when you leave i'll die
will you keep me alive？
i miss you so bad i miss you so so bad
and i need you so bad
i need you so so bad
i need you so bad
and why do you come by if you're leaving？
why do you come by if you're leaving？
and why do you give all the way in to take it back？
i need you so bad
i miss you so bad
i need you so bad yeah yeah
i look right and you stare back
and i'm finding refuge in your eyes
there's nothing i wouldn't do right
now to be sure i don't lose you this time
cause i missed you so bad,
i missed you so so bad
and i need you so bad
i need you so so bad,
i need you so bad
2.Brighter Bright
i've been lying through my teeth today
to keep in sight and you from him tonight
but you'll bite on every word he'll say
i don't know why you buy them over and over again
so don't pretend that this feels right
i feel fine
(taste me, wont you crave me every night, night
and chase me girl, i'll make you feel alright, right
there's a brighter bright on the other side, side
so take me for yourself and i will show you why
there's a brighter bright)
you're the rabbit, he's the bird of prey
and you'll run right into his grip tonight
'cause you love the way he gets you laid
there's no escaping only scraping along for the ride
and i can't bear to watch you cry
please don't cry
(taste me, wont you crave me every night, night
and chase me girl, i'll make you feel alright, right
there's a brighter bright on the other side, side
so take me for yourself and i will show you why
there's a brighter bright)
there's a brighter bright
i'm waiting till you're crazy enough to try
there's a brighter bright
and i can't bear to watch you cry
please don't cry
taste me, wont you crave me every night
and chase me girl, i'll make you feel alright
(taste me, wont you crave me every night, night
and chase me girl, i'll make you feel alright, right
there's a brighter bright on the other side, side
so take me for yourself and i will show you why
there's a brighter bright)
3.Bailey
i noticed you before you bothered to acknowledge me
your golden ropes hung down the back of your restricting jeans
there was this glow,
i did just know before you even turned your head
so many things i could have said
bailey, you never took your high beams off of me
and bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet
and bailey, why was i so fain to set you free
bailey, that's when i lost you carelessly bailey
i took the stage before i knew if you were there for me
you let me know as we traded poses laced with chemistry
you winked your eye and left my sight with no
glass slipper or a sign
now you're burning through my mind
bailey, you never took your high beams off of me
and bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet
and bailey, why was i so fain to set you free
bailey, that's when i lost you carelessly bailey
ah i wanna meet you back under these city lights
if the passage of our stars align
whoah oh oh oh bailey
bailey, i miss those precious moments that we spent
and bailey, i'm wondering where so many chances went
bailey, you never took your high beams off of me
and bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet
and bailey, why was i so fain to set you free
bailey, that's when i lost you carelessly bailey
bailey whoah oh oh oh
bailey la ah ah ah ah
bailey whoah oh oh oh bailey
will i ever see you again？
4.Safe But Sorry
picked up some rocks right off your street
that i could throw at your window,
wake you from your sleep
come down the stairs and out your door
and you know just what i came here for
we'll find a place we can hide
we'll set all of our cares and clothes aside
blood races under your skin
and with my hands just right you'll let me in
we're tangled up from my head to your toes
if it's the love you love, then why let go？
but if you have to decide
well could you maybe wait till we get inside？
say something sweet cause all we have is
a night we can't keep and can't get back
and it's falling out from underneath our feet
the lights on the street they set our stage
and you're gonna have to face the plans you made
and they're falling through and onto you and me
you'll be safe but sorry
i know your dreams and you know i care
but if you leave me here we can't meet there
caught in between our separate roads
but aren't you curious to find where this one goes？
how could you ever pretend？
when it doesn't feel a damn thing like the end
say something sweet cause all we have is
a night we can't keep and can't get back
and it's falling out from underneath our feet
the lights on the street they set our stage
and you're gonna have to face the plans you made
and they're falling through and onto you and me
you'll be safe but sorry
safe from anything that you might feel
safe from anything that's just too real
safe from anything i'd do
but sorry that you said it's through
say something sweet cause all we have is
a night we can't keep and can't get back
and it's falling out from underneath our feet
the lights on the street they set our stage
and you're gonna have to face the plans you made
and they're falling through and onto you and me
you'll be safe but sorry
you'll be safe but sorry, safe but sorry
whoa oh whoa oh
you'll be safe but sorry, you'll be safe but sorry.
ba ba da da, ba ba da, ba da da, da da da
ba ba da da, ba ba da, ba da da, da da da
ba ba da da, ba ba da, ba da da, da da da
5.Stay the Night
you're willing to wait on me some time
but you might have been misled
so i wouldn't hold my breath
'cause i've been around this country twice
and if i don't choose to stay
well then you'll never breathe again
i don't wanna say this
but i don't feel your pain
you want me to fake it
oh no no no
you're dying to save us
but darling we can't shake
the coming of all these thing
i've wanted more than you you you
cause i've fine since the break
but now you're finally telling me
that you might not be ok,
but i'd guess that anyway
so i'll come by and you'll exaggerate good times
but i won't stay, stay the night
you're trading away your heedless vows
for the most unhealthy dates
with my passing appetite
it's only a minute of my time
but just what you do best
a friendly gesture with your love attached
i don't wanna say this
but i don't feel your pain
you want me to fake it
oh no no no
you're dying to save us
but darling we can't shake
the coming of all these thing
i've wanted more than you you you
cause i've fine since the break
but now you're finally telling me
that you might not be ok,
but i'd guess that anyway
so i'll come by and you'll exaggerate good times
but i won't stay, stay the night
whoa oh oh oh whoa oh dum dun
cause i've fine since the break
but now you're finally telling me
that you might not be ok,
but i'd guess that anyway
so i'll come by and you'll exaggerate good times
but i won't stay, stay the night
stay the night
6.Streetlights
so we drive at the fate of this deep phoenix sky
with its contents that keep me alive
incessantly breathing through the night
till we crash with the white caps that ride on our backs
breaking down on the sand of this western coast
where i never once thought we would stand
but here we are now
riding currents that taste of a new town
feeling high as the night's winding down
and now all i can see are white stars they span forever
as i lay by a streetlight not a word i could possibly say
to explain my intrigue by how emphatic
we are just to be, just to be
now we run facing out at the southwestern sun
so content to be all so undone
cause here in these moments we have won
and i'm sure that i've imagined these sites
but i forget why i was never enticed to go out and try
but tonight dream becomes life
cause here we are now
riding currents they taste of a new town
we're so high as the night's winding down
just a spot on the map of this land it spans forever
as i lay by a streetlight not a word i could possibly say
to explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be
and i wont take a minute for granted
i wont waste another word
these streets i would kill to be lost in
iiiii lay by a streetlight as the summer air soaks in my lungs
how impressive are we just to live and breathe in this world
and how lucky am i to be so alive in this world
oh how precious are we just to simply be in this world
7.Wide Awake
My mistake
You should never be afraid to cut your losses
Now I know, now I know
It was mine to make
I was putting up a fight for worthless causes
Now I know, just let it go
I was dying for our moment to arrive,
Now I'm running further just to feel alive.
Don't wanna get caught up
Dreaming of your love
'Cause when I open my eyes
There's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up
And save all my good luck
For when I've got the extra change.
You can move aside
'Cause now I'm wide awake
Calling out
You don't even pick it up on nights and weekends
Over and over.
Talk about
Not giving up for all the wrongest reasons
Over and over
How was I misled for so much time？
When it's all been said and done I'll be alright
Don't wanna get caught up
Dreaming of your love
'Cause when I open my eyes
There's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up
And save all my good luck
For when I've got the extra change
You can move aside
'Cause now I'm wide awake
But is it getting any better yet？
Is it getting any better yet？
Is it getting any better yet？
The word is out that I'm not giving in
And if you're ready by now,
Well it's too late to begin
Don't wanna get caught up
Dreaming of your love
'Cause when I open my eyes...
There's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up
And save all my good luck
For when I've got the extra change
You can move aside
'Cause now I'm wide awake.
8.Let It Ride
you weren't the girl i had planned
to share my love with but you came in strongly with
your ships and planes
you took me down
and i went in quietly
you had me strapped, but you would promise honesty
and like clock-ridden hands
i'd come around
but you'll be captive in this town
and i'll be back out on the road
well if you wanna hear us out
then let it ride, let it ride, let it
ride, but baby i've got so much more in this life
and we could never quite get it
right, and baby i'm not looking out from inside
and i could never quite give you
what you need, what you want
you can take what you get
but it just wont amount to much i'm sure
i guess this boy is not for loving after all, all, after all
i put myself in between
treason that i hadn't seen naivety would conquer me
as i thought all the buzz was fake
but you'd prove me wrong
but right from the start, well i've been proven so much smarter
and yeah, some nights you were worth the mistake
now you can call me from the town
and i can tell you about the road
no i don't wanna hear you out
let it die, let it die, let it
die, cause baby i've got
so much more in this life
and we could never quite get it
right, and baby i'm not
looking out from inside
and i will never ever give you
what you need, what you want
you can take what you get
but it just wont amount to much i'm sure
i guess this girl is not for loving after all, all, after all,
all
but you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
cause despite your indiscretions i'm a ten times better man
and you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
cause you saved me from the next one and her not-so-secret hand
yeah you know that you're my hero, yeah yeah
cause somehow you had me trying to break my back and give you
what you need, what you want
you can take what you get but it just wont amount to much i know
what you need, what you want
you can take what you get but it just wont amount to much i know
what you need, what you want
you can take what you get but it just wont amount to much i'm
sure
yeah you know that you're my hero, because i know now
i know some girls are not for loving after all
after all
9.Hey Katie
hey katie, i saw you in that movie
and i wanted you to do me right through my lcd
and katie, well i hope that you stay single
by the time we get to mingle, which i hope to do so soon
cause all i really need to do is get to hollywood
and once i make it there i'm sure to make you mine for good
and maybe if this label guy
signs my band then i'll be a rock star
and you'll watch me play at an la bar
or maybe starland ballroom
and our eyes will meet from the crowd
and the music won't seem so loud
cause it's just you and i my katie
whoa katie you know i love you in your vinyl and fangs
but i prefer you in more innocent rags
you look so profound when you dress down for me my katie
and i'll be seeing you in hollywood
and once i make it there i know we'll hit it off real good
and maybe if this label guy
signs my band then i'll be a rock star
and you'll watch me play at an la bar
or maybe starland ballroom
and i'll catch your eyes from the stage
and you'll get me lost in your gaze
cause it's just you and i my katie
whoa katie la la la la la la la la la
i saw you on tmz with some pretty guy
but it was not me so i wiki'd
he's your producer for underworld three
i guess you're playing me katie
i thought you might wanna date me
wait you're married？ why didn't you tell me？
well maybe if i break this song then it won't be long till i'm
famous
and you'll pass me by with your sassy strut
and i'll show you just what you've been missing
cause dammit i'm missing you my katie
oh katie la la la la la la la la la la katie
10.Don't Go
it seems the moments went so fast
i couldn't bask in one for long before it passed
and now they slip right by
and my thoughts, they're craving you and i
no they don't have us no, not anymore
you journey back to our hometown
we spend an evening graced with all our sights and sounds
but the morning breaks our high
when you say, it was only one more night
don't go cause i made it through goodbye
now i'll make it better
i know we needed a little time to our lives
and i believed that you would never make it back
i take it back baby
but now that you're here
don't go
the broken sidewalk looked like states
i stood on tennessee and begged for you to stay
but you kept your eyes down low
and you took the colorado's home
don't go cause i made it through goodbye
now i'll make it better
i know we needed a little time to our lives
and i believed that you would never make it back
i take it back baby
but now that you're here
don't leave me stranded on the street
we used to meet that split between our houses
i don't wanna go back alone, no
don't go cause we made it through the night
now we'll make it better
i know we needed a little time to our lives
and i believed that you would never make it back
i take it back baby
now that you're here
don't go
no don't you go, no don't you go
cause i made it through goodbye
whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
now i'll make it better
