The Poets Dance 2013歌詞
1.Center Stage

She's afraid to sleep alone
And she's afraid to make a sober mistake
She's afraid to get blamed for all of this
Because it's really not her fault

She makes her move in late October by leveraging her reputation
While hiding her current status
She loves the attention
He gets infatuated with her blonde hair and blue eyes
He knows that she is out of his reach

You're in the spotlight baby
Center stage where everyone will watch you fail
Improvising gets you nowhere
You're so easy to read, you're so easy to read
She's afraid to sleep alone
And she's afraid to make a sober mistake
She's afraid to get blamed for all of this
Because it's really not her fault

You've got the perfect package but you let it get the best of
you

He gets overconfident after the bottle's gone

She cuts through my skin with her piercing knife-like actions
So keep your affair by smiling and lying, oh yeah

You've got the perfect package but you let it get the best of
you
You've got the perfect package but you let it get the best of
you

You're in the spotlight baby
Center stage where everyone will watch you fail
Improvising gets you nowhere
You're so easy to read, you're so easy to read
She's afraid to sleep alone
And she's afraid to make a sober mistake
She's afraid to get blamed for all of this
Because it's really not her fault


2.Careless Breakdown

Looks like another careless breakdown and baby if I'm shaking
Yeah she said it
Then girl you've shaken me for good
Why are my glittering horizons falling short of silver linings
When you so gently point my failures out to me
I can see where this is going

Don't turn around for the I told you so
Cause we both know it and you're dying just to say it just to
say so
I told you so

I'll pen your postcards in indifference
A language you can't understand
And when I tell you that I've made it
Just be sure to read into the vanity
And know that when you sleep tonight
I'm only sleeping with half of me
And it forces a smile and it bleeds for awhile and it won't turn
around for the I told you so

You're fading out, I'm fading in
Don't turn around for the I told you so
An overdramatic fight for closure
Don't turn around for the I told you so
Panic turns to release as we drift through the poison
And the sober faces stare you into picture frames and dead
memories

She drags me into the night
Through crowded rooms where
Everyone knows everything

Shed skins of sin to the floor
Her hands hold tightly versions of the truth
Footloose to kick me while I'm down
Did you really think this is what I wanted


3.Johnny Arson

I love the way your cynical
I love it when you're rude
I love the way you're difficult
Cause this is how we do

So I'll stand up take you to the rooftop
Next to you and watch us as we burn down there below
As we burn..

They'll label me the arsonist
There's lipgloss on the matches baby
Where, oh, where is my accomplice?

I am the arsonist
Kerosene and the matchboxes, yeah
Setting fire to these memories just to watch them burn

I love the way you're critical
You hate the things I do
I love the way you're selfish baby
Cause I am selfish too

So I'll stand up take you to the rooftop
Next to you and watch us as we burn down there below
As we burn..

They'll label me the arsonist
There's lipgloss on the matches baby
They're putting me into handcuffs
Throw me in the backseat

Where, oh, where is my accomplice?
