Should I write myself out of the history books, and mark a place in time for every chance you took? Don’t get me wrong I know you’ve got your life in place, I’ve yet to take the hint. Some day I’m sure I’ll get the picture and stop waiting up...

When it all comes down, to a sunrise on the east side, will you be there to carry home, the remains of my wasted youth, this wasted time on you has left me shaking in waiting, shaking in waiting for something more.

Tonight is alive with the promise of a street-fi ght, and there’s money on the table, that says your cheap-shots won’t be able, to break bones. I’ve yet to break a sweat I’ll make your past regret its future. Here’s to you.

Make all of my decisions for me, I’ve never taken the fall for deceit, I’ll keep a secret if you keep me guessing, The taste of your lips says we shouldn’t have met like... I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing, The fl avor of your lips is enough to keep me pressing, for more than just a moment of truth between the lies told, to pull ourselves away from the lives we leave back home... I can keep a secret if you can keep me guessing, The fl avor of your lips is enough to keep me here...

Luck loves me not tonight, I’m running out...This four leaf clover’s all but useless now. I’ve got four wheels that say I’m not alone tonight, I’m always looking for a joy ride through the brightest part of this town.

Break out, break out, as we escape through the windows, head for the car, and never look back, singing-singing, “Break out, break out, Our time has come and we’ve got these big city dreams.”

Put up or shut up, we’re not wasting time again,The credits are rolling and we’re getting lost again, In parking lots, to serenading sirens, as the blue lights bathed our smiles...

Break out, break out, as we escape through the windows, head for the car, and never look back, singing-singing, “Break out, break out, Our time has come and we’ve got these big city dreams.”

Lets take a moment to refl ect, on the past few years of my life, I haven’t worked myself away, to stay inside. This is the time to let us...

Break out, break out, as we escape through the windows, head for the car, and never look back, singing-singing, “Break out, break out, Our time has come and we’ve got these big city dreams.”

Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets, coloring my senses cherry red; at least for this week... Kisses under starry night skies, talked about in song, we play along, so bitter sweet by our design. I’m sick and tired of writing songs about you, This is it, this is the end...

Take off your makeup and put down the camera, choke on the drama that makes me want to, tear up the pictures, the pages you’ve saved, creating a life of trends and make believe...

I’ve got no place in my heart for a criminal like you to dwell, in this endeavor. Make this last forever... I’m just delirious, You can’t be serious, You’re so infamous for leaving me a mess...

She gets what she wants and she breaks what she gets, get out while you can or she’ll tear you to pieces “Are you having a good time sweetheart?”

Carry on home, I’ll be waiting miles and miles away, leaving you to be forever seventeen, cleaning up the messes that you’ve made.

Lights out, I still hear the rain, The images that fi ll my head, Now keep my fi ngers from making mistakes, Tell my voice what it takes, To speak up, Speak up, and keep my conscience clean when I wake.

Don’t make this easy, I want you to mean it, Jasey. (say you mean it) You’re dressed to kill, I’m calling you out, (dont waste your time on me)

Now there’s an aching in my back; a stabbing pain that says I lack, the common sense and confi dence, to bring an end to promises, that I make in times of desperate conversation, hoping my night could be better than theirs in the end. Just say when.

I’ve never told a lie, and that makes me a liar, I’ve never made a bet, but we gamble with desire, I’ve never lit a match, with intent to start a fi re, but recently the fl ames, are getting out of control. Call me a name, Kill me with words, Forget about me, Its what I deserve, I was your chance, to get out of this town, but I ditched the car, and left you to, wait outside.

I hope the air will serve to remind you, that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath, and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.

Hey, kid, you’ve got a lot of potential but I think it’s time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound. Now you’re everything that we’ve come to love, you taught us to move, now we’ll show it off, just drop us the beat...

Here’s to the fast times, the times we felt alive, to all the nights that we forgot to get back home.

Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me and you, we’ve got to let this go...

Drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene, of empty bottles, heavy hearts, the memories of broken dreams...

We were so tired yet so alive, wrapped up in lies like sheets of another one night stand. you know you left the girl with nothing but the sunrise through the window pane, where tired eyes will close...

I know she hopes I choke on this last drink, drop dead before my influence gets to her head... She said “I’ll love you forever, or find something better. It’s all just the same as when we sleep together. We wake up with headaches, and trouble remembering what went wrong...”

Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me and you, we’ve got to let this go...

Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage, a small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks; and when things get too hot, you’ve got me to blame for every fire that breaks out in every lover’s name.

Don’t forget, we’ve got unfinished business, stories yet to unfold, tales that must be retold, and I regret not knowing when to put an end to all this madness, keeps me wanting, keeps me wanting more...

Sell me out I’m yesterday’s old news, phrases left on paper, black ink bleeding through the pages where we made our history. Call me foolish, I feel hopeless...

Like a dear in the headlights I won’t know what hit me... Running from lions never felt like such a mistake.

Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye - it could be for the last time and it’s not right. “Don’t let yourself get in over your head,” he said. Alone and far from home we’ll find you...

Dead - like a candle you burned out, spill the wax over the spaces left in place of angry words. Scream - to be heard, like you needed any more attention; throw the bottle, break the door and disappear.

Sing me to sleep. I’ll see you in my dreams, waiting to say, “I miss you. I’m so sorry.” Forever’s never seemed so long as when you’re not around it’s like a piece of me is missing. I could have learned so much from you but what’s left now?

Don’t you realize you brought this family a world of pain? Because you left us in pieces. Can’t you see there could have been a happy ending we let go? Sing me to sleep, I’ll see you in my dreams, waiting to say, “I miss you. I’m so sorry.”

Sing me to sleep (You’ve taken so much with you...) I’ll see you in my dreams, (But left the worst with me...), waiting to say, “I miss you. I’m so sorry.”
