A Day To Remember - You're Welcome Album Lyrics

---

Brick Wall

Some call it karma, some call it fate
Laws of attraction take on new weight
I sit in silence and hope for change
Reckless abandon of what we take for granted
(Of what we take for granted)

No escape, no future
No luck lost on a loser
No escape, no future
Saddle up, boys, we're headed for the brick wall

This is a cycle, this is a curse
Divine intervention, can it get much worse?
Gain some momentum and cut the brakes
What doesn't kill us will find another way
(Will find another way)

No escape, no future
No luck lost on a loser
No escape, no future
Saddle up, boys, we're headed for the brick wall
No escape, no future
No luck lost on a loser
No escape, no future
Saddle up, boys, we're headed for the brick wall

If you're up, I'm down
If it's wet, I'll drown
You can fill your cup
And I'm always gonna pour it out
If you wanna take a ride
That's gonna kill your night
There's room for two
And we're headed for the brick wall

(Snake eyes 'til the day I die, motherf*ckers)
Ha
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Pessimism is a killer
Pessimism is a killer
Let it all burn

Mindreader

Some call it powers of the mind
Bending thoughts through space and time
Reading everyone like that old book you've read a thousand times
Heard about it when I was young
Finishing sentences on tips of tongues
Sixth senses got you seeing all these things I haven't done
We're not the only ones

You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
Not much that matters that won't
You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
But I'll never be your mind reader

I could head to old Japan
On a mountain with some ancient man
Searching for some wisdom that I still won't understand
Tell me what'll it take?
Never even knew you felt that way
Sitting here farther apart than Orlando to L.A.
Delayed at the gate

You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
Not much that matters that won't
You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
But I'll never be your mind reader

Mind, mind, mind reader
Mind, mind, mind reader
(I can't tell you what I don't know)
Mind, mind, mind reader
Mind, mind, mind reader
(I can't tell you what I don't know)
Mind, mind, mind reader

You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
Not much that matters that won't
You're laughing like I'm supposed to know
What you're thinking but I don't
I know that this never comes easy
But I'll never be your mind reader

I'll never be your mind reader
I'll never be your mind reader
I'll never be your mind reader
I'll never be your mind reader

Bloodsucker

(Whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh)

When I wake up, the cross above my bed
Hangs like a question mark above my head
My good intentions led me to dead ends
Yet again, yet again (oh)
I tried to help you see what you can't see
But your reflection blind to reality
Like a shadow running from the sun rising
Finally it dawned on me (oh)

Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe
Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright
Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life

You leave a black cloud everywhere you've been
Wreck a good day and disappear again
Just like clockwork, I know I can depend on you
Being you (oh)

Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe
Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright
Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life

I've only got a lifetime
So I'll give no more to you
I've only got a lifetime
So I'll give no more to you
I've only got a lifetime
So I'll give no more to you, you, you, you

Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe
Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright
Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh)
Bloodsucker (whoa, oh)
Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life

Last Chance to Dance (Bad Friend)

I see you

You're not dead, just dead to me
Loyalty is a chain that's binding
It's sad, sad but true
Like a match to the fuel destroying everything around you

Twist the blade
Leavin' a wound that never heals inside me
Twist the blade
Let it die, vengeance is hereby mine

Don't you feel better when, better when
You see right through me? Yeah
So don't pretend, don't pretend
You ever knew me
Who I really am, really am
Guess you're just another bad friend
Just a bad friend, f*ck it

Watched you fall, fall from grace
Face to face with the shadow of your mistakes
So you cut, cut and run
Look what you've done, belief is the death of reason

Twist the blade
Leavin' a wound that never heals inside me
Twist the blade
Let it die, vengeance is hereby mine

Don't you feel better when, better when
You see right through me? Yeah
So don't pretend, don't pretend
You ever knew me
Who I really am, really am
Guess you're just another bad friend
Just a bad friend
A bad friend (bad friend)
A bad friend (bad friend)
A bad friend (bad friend)

Drop the dead weight
I'm moving past this
When I'm gone who's gonna carry your casket?
Who?
Who's gonna carry your casket?
Who?
No one will carry your casket

F.Y.M

I sit and wait
Countin' the minutes just like yesterday
Trackin' my miracle, it must be runnin' late
It read return to sender, Ican't catch a break
Doin' my same old same

Luck, don't let me down
'Cause I've paid my dues in spades
Double or nothin' now

(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money

I'd leave today
I'd change my number, wouldn't hesitate
And y'all can tell the boss, "F*ck you, I resignate"
Auto-reply permanently on holiday
Take me off your chain

Luck, don't let me down
'Cause I've paid my dues in spades
Double or nothin' now

(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get, wait 'til I get some
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money

Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money (oh, yeah)
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get, wait 'til I get
Get, get, get

(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get some f*ck you money
(Ooh)
Wait 'til I get, wait 'til I get some

High Diving

I need to know what your silence says
It's like I'm trapped on an island in my head
Waitin' on a hurricane
To pass me by
This natural pattern is
Like a rip current pullin' me back in
Somethin' I can't escape
A wave that never breaks

A million different voices
So many different sounds
The weight of expectation
Tries to kick me when I'm down
I wrote this to remind myself
The next time I'm freakin' out

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'

Tryna read your language is
Like a map where the X is in quicksand
It's written across your face
And I start to sink
There's a ringin' inside my head
Like a cannon firin' from both ends
The static I'm drownin' in
Seems like it never ends

A million different voices
So many different sounds (many different sounds)
The weight of expectation
Tries to kick me when I'm down (kick me when I'm down)
I wrote this to remind myself
The next time I'm freakin' out

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'

So put up
Or shut up
So put up
Or shut up
So put up
Or shut up
So put up, put up, put up, yeah

If I'd just take a minute
To look around
I'd see I reached my limit
I'm on the edge
And scared of heights, I get it
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'
It's hard to practice what you preach
When life is a beach
I'm high divin'

Looks Like Hell

(Oh)

You ask why I can't tell you things
What's been weighin' on me lately
Somethin' about this changed
Was it me, was it you? (Was it me, was it you?)
You know I can't say
We're headed two different ways
The silence, it tells me things
Like the truth

We rode a wave up and down
Throwin' me all around
Thinkin' we'd hit the ground
Well, you will

On our way to nowhere fast
Off the overpass
Looks like hell
Makin' big mistakes
Led us to a place
Looks like hell
If I'm bein' honest
You're safe in the moment
But lost in the open
I know you too well
The only way out is through ourselves
And it looks like hell

(Oh)

How did it get this way?
On the surface, it seems okay
But there's energy underneath
That I feel
Remember when we last spoke?
Your eyes said what you don't
That whatever in this broke
We can't fix

Either under or over it
Somethin' I'll never get
Where was the disconnect
We couldn't weld

On our way to nowhere fast
Off the overpass
Looks like hell
Makin' big mistakes
Led us to a place
Looks like hell
If I'm bein' honest
You're safe in the moment
But lost in the open
I know you too well
The only way out is through ourselves
(And it looks like hell)

The destination I saw clearly
Was farther than you planned
Just a means to an end

On our way to nowhere fast
Off the overpass
Looks like hell
Makin' big mistakes
Led us to a place
Looks like hell
If I'm bein' honest
You're safe in the moment (safe in the moment)
But lost in the open
I know you too well
The only way out is through ourselves
And it looks like hell
(Oh)
It looks like hell
(Oh)

Viva La Mexico

Man, I'm wasted
South of the borderline
Brought the life to the party, I'm gonna be sorry
Tomorrow at first sign of light
Medicatin'
With a dosage that's self prescribed
Happiness that I borrowed, on loan from tomorrow
Has got me rethinkin' my life

Yeah, we climb so high
Then we get real low
Just to do it all again
'Cause everybody knows
How good it feels to lose some self control

Viva La Mexico
I won't be the same when I get back home
Arriba Viva La Mexico
It was more than I wanted, now I can't let go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ee-ooh

Planned to sleep in
But my head is in overdrive
Pissed drunk in an alley, ran from Federales
And hid for the rest of the night

Yeah, we climb so high
Then we get real low
Just to do it all again
'Cause everybody knows
How good it feels to lose some self control

Viva La Mexico
I won't be the same when I get back home
Arriba Viva La Mexico
It was more than I wanted, now I can't let go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ee-ooh
Ooh-ee-ooh

Here in the moment, I feel at home
What it is to be young
Here in the moment, I feel at home
What it is to be young

Viva La Mexico
I won't be the same when I get back home
Arriba Viva La Mexico
I won't be the same when I get back home
Arriba Viva La Mexico
It was more than I wanted, now I can't let go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ee-ooh

Only Money

My mama called me and said, "Son, it's Nonne
I'm sorry to tell you, your grandmama passed"
Took me back to the moment watchin' The Sound of Music
In your living room before you read me to bed

Ooh, I know now but I didn't then
These were moments building a man
None of us had much and you showed me what that means

It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money

A few days before that, I got a message
From my aunt that said you weren't doin' too well
We scrambled to call you to show off the baby
My wife and I had just brought into the world

Ooh, I got chills as we said goodbye
Somehow I knew it was the last time
I'm usually gone for work, but nothing's worth missin' memories

It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money

If you can hear me, I'll always picture
You at the piano, singin' your songs
Just know there's so many lessons you left me
I'll always carry along

It was only money
Cost me some family, cost me some friends
It was only money
Doesn't define me, I can't pretend
Taught me 'bout resentment, about forgiveness
No matter what path lies ahead
Taught me 'bout judgement, about what love is
That family's family 'til the end
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money, money, money, money
It was only money

Permanent

Wait, it's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out

This is a cycle often repeated
That's predictable to a fault
It's overwhelming, this process of changing
It's always over before it starts

It's out of my control
I got nothin' to show now for it
See how long I can go
Before somebody knows I'm runnin'

Wait, it's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out

Go 'round like a record, constantly skippin'
Hung up on the cracks that haven't formed at all
Waiting for somethin' that's never comin'
Another excuse so I can put it off

It's out of my control
I got nothin' to show now for it
See how long I can go
Before somebody knows I'm runnin'

Wait, it's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out
It's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out

This is who I am when no one is watchin'
Flaws in character frozen by my options
I won't touch a thing because failure's contagious
Safe from your judgement by staying complacent

Wait, it's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out
It's so permanent
Always rearranging, I can't commit
Fear of a future I can't predict
Has got me layin' sleepless at night
The future freaks me out
The future freaks me out
The future freaks me out
The future freaks me out

Re-Entry

These nights are long, here in my cage
Everyone says to act my age
It's been so long since I've felt my bed
Replayin' mistakes over in my head

Sleeping in this coffin, I keep wakin' up
I don't drink too much, I just drink enough

I just wanna go
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

A three-piece suit's like a three-piece cage
The cubicle of our modern age
That feels so foreign, alien like me
Breakin' through this re-entry anxiety

Two week decompression, then I get that itch
Gotta pack it up and start again

I just wanna go
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home

And I don't know when I'll be back again
Caught a cabin fever that never ends
And I don't know when I'll be back again
Caught a cabin fever that never ends
And I don't know when I'll be back again
Caught a cabin fever that never ends
And I don't know when I'll be back again
Caught a cabin fever that never ends
But I just wanna go home

I just wanna go
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home

Everything We Need

(Oh, oh)
(Oh)

At a certain speed on the interstate
Everything looks the same
The blurry green helps me meditate
When everything's always changing

I'm doin' buck-twenty on I-75, 75, 75
Just to see if I'm dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive

'Cause I know I got you
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need
I know I got you (I know I got you)
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need

I took a right down the boulevard
To see where we use to hang
It's worn down like the rest of us
But that's a quick coat of paint

I'm doin' buck-twenty on I-75, 75, 75
Just to see if I'm dead or alive, dead or alive, dead or alive

'Cause I know I got you
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need
I know I got you (I know I got you)
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need

When my mind's racin'
Yeah, I just need some four-wheel isolation
'Cause Lord knows I can't afford that vacation
And you can't see the skyline from the basement
Yeah, you always remind me
Yeah, you always remind me

(Oh, oh)
(Oh)

I know I got you (I know I got you)
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need (we got everything we need)
I know I got you (I know I got you)
And you know you got me
We got everything we need
We got everything we need

Yeah
(Oh, oh)
(Oh)
