Lyrics


1. CYNICAL

There's a cynical feeling saying I should give up
You said everything you'll ever say
There's a moment of panic
When I hear the phone ring
Anxiety's calling in my head
Is it back again?
Are you back again?

Don't wake me up before you leave
Is there the slightest trace of what you once believed
I feel your hand unlock the door
Leaving fingerprints of water in the oil

[Chorus](x2)
Whats the point of saying sorry now
Lost my voice while fighting my way out

I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry now


2. BORED TO DEATH

There's an echo pulling out the meaning
Rescuing a nightmare from a dream
The voices in my head are always screaming
That none of this means anything to me

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's a long way back from seventeen
The whispers turn into a scream
And I'm, I'm not coming home

[Chorus]
Save your breath, I'm nearly
Bored to death and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on Earth, I'm broken
Lost and cold and fading fast
Life is too short to last long

There's a stranger staring at the ceiling
Rescuing a tiger from a tree
The pictures in her head are always dreaming
Each of them means everything to me

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
I said I'm sorry I'm a little bit of a letdown
But all my friends are daring me to come over
So I come over and over and over
So let me buy you a drink and we'll pretend that you think
That I'm the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar

And we'll go over and over and over (x4)

[Chorus]

(Life is too short to last long)


3. SHE'S OUT OF HER MIND

I said settle down, settle down
Everything is fine
Take your eyes off the floor
She said no I'm not, no I'm not, no I'm not alright
I lost my head on the door

[Pre-Chorus]
She's a-a-a-antisocial, a-a-a-antisocial
A-a-a she's an angel, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind, woah
She said "babe I'm sorry but I'm crazy tonight", woah
She got a black shirt, black skirt
And Bauhaus stuck in her head
I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind, woah, oh yeah
We all need something to live for, oh yeah
We all need something to live for

She said I let her down, let her down
I no longer dream of anything anymore
Said I'm a know-it-all, know-it-all
You make me want to scream
And threw herself on the floor

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

She's not complicated
Can't be overstated at all
She's not complicated-ated-ated at all

[Chorus]


4. LOS ANGELES

Day in, day out
Up at 3AM
With the searchlights shining down
Day in, day out
It's the blinding light
Underneath the dirt downtown

Oh, listen to the sound as they bomb the sixth street bridge
Oh, listen to the sound of the voices south of Fifth

[Chorus]
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, when will you save me?
Los Angeles, I'm never coming home

Come down
I've been awake for days
Knocked out
By the sound of falling rain
Come down, yeah, we'll watch the sun just burn away the sky
Watch the city lights die out up on Mulholland Drive

[Chorus]

[Bridge](x3)
Wake me when this war is over
Meet me where the skyline ends

[Chorus]

I'm never coming home (x4)


5. SOBER

[Chorus]
I know I messed up and it might be over
But let me call you when I'm sober
I'm a dandelion you're a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober

I woke up in the pouring rain
West side humboldt, 7am
Sleeping by a dumpster to keep me dry
With the radio on and a new black eye

Because I bet you couldn't knock me out
And I guess you really got me now
Black sedan ran a red light
Just a drunken bike messenger on tuesday night

[Chorus]

(When I'm sober)(x2)

She undressed and we stumbled downstairs
Fell onto the table as the neighbors just stared
We laughed out loud and smashed their lights
Digging with our hands in the dirt outside

And she dragged me to the edge of town
And she slapped me then she pulled me down
I can do bad and you can do better
Spending all night getting lost together

[Chorus](x2)

(When I'm sober)(x4)


6. BUILT THIS POOL

I wanna see some naked dudes
That's why I built this pool

"Is that really it?"


7. NO FUTURE

She said tonight's a waste of time
The next day the sun will always rise
Every day that you waste
Every promise you break
Slips beneath the floor
It's a permanent state
From a moment's mistake
But life's worth so much more

You don't know a thing about it
Hours lost to dawn from dusk, yeah

[Chorus]
And they don't care about you (No future!)
Let the music seal your fate, yeah
You can run but life won't wait, yeah
They don't care about you (No future!)

She said that it's too late to try
Someday I'll smile and say goodbye
Every night that you fight
Every demon inside
Sleeping on the floor
Wide awake from the dream
With a shake and a scream
Hope for so much more

You don't know a thing about it
I was lost to dawn from dusk, yeah

[Chorus]

They don't care about you (x2)

Where did she go?
And what did she hope to find there?

Where did she go, (did she go, did she go?)
And what did she hope to find there?

Where did she go, did she go, did she go?
Where did she go to find it
Where did she go, did she go, did she go?
Where did she go to find it

You don't know a thing about it
I was lost to dawn from dusk, yeah

[Chorus]

They don't care about you (x2)


8. HOME IS SUCH A LONELY PLACE

We're falling faster than we can fly
Forgotten seconds out on sunset drive
And I hold on tight
But not enough to hold you back

It feels like the moon
Is spinning off into outer space without you
This room is such a lonely place without you

[Chorus]
I wish that we could save today
But I know we can't stay the same
And I keep pushing you away
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place

I love the lightning but hate the rain
Tomorrow's frightening but not today
Wish I could slow down time
But not enough to slow you down

It feels like the moon
Is spinning off into outer space without you
The universe an empty place without you

[Chorus]

Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place

We're falling faster than we can fly
Forgotten seconds out on sunset drive

[Chorus](x2)

Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place


9. KINGS OF THE WEEKEND

Can you read my thoughts
I'm not sure what I said
I feel dumb and
Long night coming

Did you steal my prayers
I don't know where I was
I feel numb and
All or nothing (all or nothing)

[Chorus]
It's friday night let's lose our minds
In a downward spiral
Here we go
Because we got no control (no control)
It's friday nights always save my life
From the worst of times we ever had
Thank God for punk rock bands

[Post-Chorus]
Until monday morning strikes again
We are the kings of the weekend

I can feel my head
Falling off my neck
I need something
To keep going

So just take my hand
Only seconds left
The clock's running
Our time's coming

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]


10. TEENAGE SATELLITES

I can almost see your house from here
But the signal seems to disappear
So what's the problem Houston's calling
Then you hit me like a Friday night
Like a handgun in a firefight
Dive in slow motion towards the ocean

[Chorus]
Let's run away
Let's go and waste another year
Let's spin apart while racing through the atmosphere
We tumble through the night
We burn so bright
We're teenage satellites

I'm kind of nervous of the consequence
As we climb over the neighbor's fence
The longest summer's nights are numbered
Then you kissed me like a storm at sea
Like I'm the only one you'll ever need
We're left abandoned in the deep end

[Chorus]

(We're teenage satellites)

We are a slow descent
Forgotten astronauts
We are an avalanche
We're just an afterthought

[Chorus]

We're teenage satellites (x3)


11. LEFT ALONE

Eyes are open, words are spoken
Here's to the sunrise
Head is loaded, cards are folded
Under the moonlight

Can you remember, you remember the last time we woke up sober?
Can you remember, you remember the last night you ran me over?
Are we halfway gone or halfway there?

[Chorus]
Left alone, we're only halfway home
Sink like stones, fall into the unknown
Break me down, I'm not afraid of you
Pull me under, slowly drown
I never wanted to
Left alone to wonder

Mind is open, thoughts are woken
There goes the sunrise
Heart is broken, love unspoken
Here comes the moonlight

Can you remember, you remember the last time I left hungover?
Can you remember, you remember the last night that I stayed over?
Are we halfway gone or halfway there?

[Chorus]

We're left alone (x4)

[Chorus]

We're left alone (x4)


12. RABBIT HOLE

Dear head, shut up
I can't listen no more
It's late, so shut up
Is one night too much to ask for?

You are a haunted house
You're superstitious
You are the coldest stone carved marble faces

[Chorus]
I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole
I'm barely standing on the ground
All the hints that you leave are too hard to believe at all
I won't fall down that fucking rabbit hole

With you, with you, with you, with you again (x2)

This bed, on fire
I can't sleep here no more
Too late and tired
Dreaming down on the floor

I am a haunted house
I'm superstitious
I am a cardboard cutout, old and faded

[Chorus]

With you, with you, with you, with you again (x4)

[Chorus]


13. SAN DIEGO

Sometimes I wonder where our lives go
They question who we used to be
Sometimes I feel like I'm the oxygen between
The cigarette and gasoline

I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus]
Of going back to San Diego?
We bought a one way ticket
So we could go see The Cure
And listen to our favorite songs in the parking lot
And think of every person I ever lost to San Diego (to San Diego)
Can't go back to San Diego
(Can't go back to San Diego)

Abandoned houses with the lights on
Late at night I call your name
Abandoned love songs smashed across the hardwood floors
I read the sadness on your face

I can't sleep cause what if I dream

[Chorus]

I never needed to hear
All of the pain and the fear
Your secrets filled up my ears
Like the ocean blue
I never wanted to know
How deep these cuts on you go
And like a river they flow to the ocean blue

[Chorus]


14. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

Where the hell did you come from
Outer space or heaven above
Short of breath my long-lost love
I can't believe my eyes
Are you for real?

My life before was such a mess
There's no use dwelling on the pass
My broken heart was in a cast
Then you showed up and it began to heal

[Chorus]
Cause you're the only thing that matters
Cause you're the only thing that's real
Cause you're the only thing I'll never let go
Cause you're the only thing I feel

Someday you'll come back to me
And I'll say something bitterly
And you'll go racing toward the kitchen
Grab a knife erase my vision
Take may flatscreen television
And my paintings by Marilyn Manson

[Chorus](x2)


15. CALIFORNIA

Beige little boxes in a row
Neighbors and friends that you don't know
Here's a fork go wait in line
Can't you see I'm doing fine?
It's what I've always wanted

Two little kids out on the lawn
Once we had love, now it's gone
Good things haven't happened yet
I'm empty as a movie set
It's what I've always wanted

[Chorus]
Hey, here's to you, California
Beautiful haze of suburbia
Living in the perfect weather
Spending time inside together
Hey, here's to you, California

Wearing all black out on the beach
Faces I've seen in magazines
Let's take a walk out on the pier
Watch the shoreline disappear
It's what I've always wanted

[Chorus](x2)


16. BROHEMIAN RHAPSODY

There's something about you
That I can't quite put my finger in
