Satellite

Wishing on a star that's just a satellite
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights
Growing up with eyes glued shut

Wishing on a star that's just a satellite
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights

Na-na Na Na-na Na
Na-na Na Na-na
[x2]

Strip club in a strip mall
Million ways to die
All the things we lost in
The backseat of the sky

Growing up with eyes glued shut

Wishing on a star that's just a satellite
Driving in a car with broken tail-lights

Na-na Na Na-na Na
Na-na Na Na-na
[x2]

We were just kids, we were just kids singing
We were just kids, we were just kids
[x4]

Kicking & Screaming

Say hello to all my little nightmares
They're right here
I know them well

History repeats itself in phrases
Scribbled in dark places
Like notches on a belt
(They're chasing after you, bro)

I'm chasing after rock and roll
Kicking and screaming

I've been waiting for you to call
And dress me up
My sucker love
Drag me 'round
Kicking and screaming

So long and thanks for all
The make-believe
The memories
Of you and me
Kicking and screaming

Say goodbye to all the pretty faces
Dark places
I know too well

Fantasy competes to be my only
I'm f*cking lonely
Like bottles on the shelf
(There's one more chasing for you)

I'm chasing after rock and roll
Kicking and screaming

I've been waiting for you to call
And dress me up
My sucker love
Drag me 'round
Kicking and screaming

So long and thanks for all
The make-believe
The memories
Of you and me
Kicking and screaming

Say hello to all my little nightmares
They're right here, I know them well

I've been waiting for you to call
And dress me up
My sucker love
Drag me 'round
Kicking and screaming

So long and thanks for all
(Thanks for all)
The make-believe
The memories
Of you and me
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming

Something's Gotta Give

I woke up in a stranger's bed
With pins and needles in my head
And the clock ticking off the wall
Oh yeah oh yeah

I don't even know myself
I wish I could be someone else
But I don't have a clue at all
Oh yeah

I'm sinking
You're wading
I'm thinking something's gotta give

Oh
Wake me up
Say enough is enough
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give
Oh
Pull me out
Of this sinking town
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give

Maybe I'm a f*cking waste
Filling up the empty space
I've been here way too long
Oh yeah oh yeah

Feeling like a nervous wreck
Living off my last paycheck
I'm a cliché in a song
And everybody's singing along

I'm sinking
You're wading
I'm thinking something's gotta give

Oh
Wake me up
Say enough is enough
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give
Oh
Pull me out
Of this sinking town
I'm been dying to live
Something's gotta give

Someone please come pull me out
From the shadow of my doubt
Wake me up
I'm falling

Oh
Wake me up
Say enough is enough
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give
Oh
Pull me out
Of this sinking town
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give

I'm sinking
You're wading
I'm thinking something's gotta give

Oh
Pull me out
Of this sinking town
I'm dying to live
Something's gotta give

Kids In The Dark

(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)

Here we are at the end of the road
A road that's quietly caving in
Come too far to pretend that we don't
We don't miss where we started
Looking back, I see a setting sun
And watch my shadow fade into the floor
I am left standing on the edge
Wondering how we got this far
How we got this far

They left us alone, the kids in the dark
To burn out forever or light up a spark
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
So let the world sing

What a shame, what a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)

Here we are at the top of a hill
The hill that's quietly crumbling
It's been awhile since you've dressed for the kill
The kill that sent me tumbling

Looking up, I see a falling star
And watch its fire burn into the floor
And I am left standing on the edge
Wondering why we fall so hard
Why we fall so hard

They left us alone, the kids in the dark
To burn out forever or light up a spark
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
So let the world sing

What a shame, what a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

Wooohh
Wooahh (The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
Wooahh
Wooahh

They left us alone, the kids in the dark
To burn out forever or light up a spark
We come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
So let the world sing

What a shame, what a shame
Beautiful scars on critical veins
Come together, state of the art
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

(The kids in the dark, the kids in the dark)
We'll never surrender the kids in the dark
The kids in the dark

Runaways

Only a quitter,
Would let it go,
I'm your in a fool in a one-man show,
I was so bitter,
'Til you came along,
You set my sails when the tide was low,

We're going down this road,
With tears in our rear view mirror,
Far from home,
But in the dark you'll know,
With me you've got nothing to fear,

So let's run away
They will have to find another heart to break,
Why don't we just run away,
Never turn around, no matter what they say,
We'll find our way,
When the sun goes down,
On this town,
There'll be no one left but us,
Just like run-aways,
They will have to find some other hearts to break,

Out in the distance,
Lost in the fold,
We trace our steps to a great unknown,
Bury our toes,
Where the ocean meets the sand,
We hide ourselves right where stand,

We're going down this road,
With tears in our rear view mirror,
Far from home,
But in the dark you know,
With me you've got nothing to fear,

So let's run away
They will have to find another heart to break,
Why don't we just run away,
Never turn around, no matter what they say,
We'll find our way,
When the sun goes down,
On this town,
There'll be no one left but us,
Just like run-aways,
They will have to find some other hearts to break,

They won't catch us in the dark,
Roll like thunder, burn like stars, [x2]

Run away,
They will have to find another heart to break,
Hard to break...

So let's run away
They will have to find another heart to break,
Why don't we just run away,
Never turn around, no matter what they say,
We'll find our way,
When the sun goes down,
On this town,
There'll be no one left but us,
Just like run-aways,
They will have to find some other hearts to break

Missing You

I heard that you've been,
Self-medicating in the quiet of your room,
Your sweet, suburban tomb,
But if you need a friend,
I'll help you stitch up your wounds,
I heard that you've been,
Having some trouble finding your place in the world,
I know how much that hurts,
And if you need a friend,
Then please just say the word...

You've come this far,
You're all cleaned up,
You made a mess again,
There's no more trying,
Time to sort yourself out...

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,
Now don't lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do;
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you,

I heard that you've been,
Having some trouble finding your place in the world,
I know how much that hurts,
And if you need a friend,
Then please just say the word...

You've come this far,
You're all cleaned up,
You made a mess again,
There's no more trying,
Time to sort yourself out...

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,
Now don't lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do;
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you,

Grit your teeth, and pull your hair,
Paint the walls black and scream, "F*ck the world,
'Cause it's my life, I'm gonna take it back, "
And never for a second blame yourself,

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,
Now don't lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do;
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you

Cinderblock Garden

The girl with the cinderblock garden

Wait,
I think we're onto something,
We can't run from fate,
But we can let it take us down,
Down this road,
Where all our colors run together,
Let's take the worst and make it better,
Take this mess and make a home,

I know it gets hard for you to stay,
But do you really want to throw it all away?

I'm thinkin',

[Chorus:]
That we could make forever after all,
Finding the gold in our darkest moments,
Watching the roads turn into white roses,
And we don't ever have to leave these walls,
I'll be the boy with the silver lining,
You'll be the girl with the Cinder Block Garden,

Tonight,
Take all the ghosts and all those skeletons,
You hide,
Bury them deep beneath the ground,
Let them rest,
'Cause you weren't meant to bear that burden,
Look at the roses in your garden,
You can breathe now and forget,

Forget it gets hard for you to stay,
But we don't really have to throw it all away,

I'm thinkin',

[Chorus]

Just hold out for tomorrow,
Our dreams will follow,
Follow us back to when,
When nothing was broken,
The future was open,
Let's go back again,
(Let's go again...)

[Chorus]

Tidal Waves

[Alex:]
Falling on my face again
So I know I'm right on track
It's hard for me to make amends
When you stab me in the back
Sail it on to another sorry shore
Talking shit, say I'm your filthy little, filthy little
Like I just happen to be in the right place right time
Just settle down

[Chorus:]
I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
I called my name as I crashed the gates
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak?
Cause you don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

[Mark:]
Tell me how you really feel
Write it on the bathroom wall
If anyone was watching
I know you'd say nothing at all
Treading water, yeah, you're angry and you're bored
But I'm sick of this, I'm just your filthy little, filthy little
Like I just happen to be at the right place right time
Oh, would you settle down?

[Chorus:]
I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
I called my name as I crashed the gates
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak?
Cause you don't know me at all

[Alex:]
Spread your lies like fireflies
In a wild hot summer trying to pull me under
You sharpen words to use like knives
When you lose your colour, there'll be nothing left

[Chorus:]
I earned my place with the tidal waves
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
I called my name as I crashed the gates
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Why don't you think before you speak?
Cause you don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

Don't You Go

Settle back now and raise a toast
To the young ones, growing old
All the green lights, long nights
Drinking 'til I made out with you

Just sit back, enjoy the show
It's the weekend, no place to go
You're the cherry, I'm a cigarette
Chasing after midnight with you

Don't shut me down now
Just hear me out now

Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you
Give me one more night with you

So take a breath now, you don't have to go
It was a fast night, we can take it slow
There were fist fights, red lights
Running 'til I crashed into you

I got my ass kicked, but you held the ice
I was a train wreck, but you took the ride
Can we stay here, right here?
Nothing else that I wanna do

Don't shut me down now
Just hear me out now

Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you

You say I've pushed my luck
But I can't get enough
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
Don't want a single thing to change
We can mess around for two more days
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
I don't want you to leave

Don't you go and carry on with your life
It was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you
Don't you go, saying all your goodbyes
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you

You say I've pushed my luck
But I can't get enough
If it was just a one time thing
Why are you still here with me?
Don't want a single thing to change
We can mess around for two more days
I want a one night stand just one more time with you
So give me one more night with you

Bail Me Out

What can I say?
I f*cked this up again,
What can I do?
I took it out on you,
I run around and make,
A mess of everything,
I made a big mistake,
And now I'm wondering,

Would ya,
Bail me out if I need it,
Would ya,
Help me down,
Will you catch me when I fall,
Another night I'm out here wasted,
Another night you've gotta take my call

Would ya,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Are you take my call?

So listen up,
I know I'm out of line,
Just settle down,
You know it's gonna be alright,
Please come around and get,
Get me out of here,
Just take me far away,
I really wanna to disappear,

Would ya,
Bail me out if I need it,
Would ya,
Help me down, will you catch me when I fall,
Another night I'm out here wasted,
Another night you've gotta take my call

Would ya,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Would you take my call?

Don't stop, ready or not,
It's such a long way, away from the top,
And I know,
That you'll be there to catch me if I stumble down this road,

So would ya,
Bail me out if I need it,
Would ya,
Help me down, will you catch me when I fall,
Another night I'm out here wasted,
Another night you've gotta take my call

Would ya,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Bail me out,
Would you take my call?

Dancing With A Wolf

Who's gonna listen when you run out of lies?
Who's gonna hear you, when your words seem worthless?
Who's gonna save you when you're out of time?
And who's gonna want you, when you're on your knees, begging:

"Oh, please take me at my word, I'm desperate
I swear, I never meant to hurt no one, no
Oh, please stay for what it's worth, I'm desperate"
You're on your own

So don't you call my name
I will take you down
Should've known that you've been dancing with a wolf
So don't you call my name
I will take you down
I'm not your friend, you burned a bridge
I chew you up and spit you out
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love for a liar
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love
So don't you call my name
(Call my name)

No one to listen when you're running your mouth
No one to hear you when your words seem worthless
No one to save you when you're coming down
No one to want you, when you're on your knees, begging:

"Oh, please take me at my word, I'm desperate
I swear, I never meant to hurt no one, no
Oh, please stay for what it's worth, I'm desperate"
You're on your own

So don't you call my name
I will take you down
Should've known that you've been dancing with a wolf
So don't you call my name
I will take you down
I'm not your friend, you burned a bridge
I chew you up and spit you out
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love for a liar
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love
So don't you call my name

Fool me once, it's shame on you
Fool me twice, and let the wolves come crashing through
Fool me once, it's shame on you
Fool me twice, and let the wolves come

So don't you call my name
I will take you down
Should've known that you've been dancing with a wolf

Don't you call my name
I will take you down
Should've known that you've been dancing with a wolf
So don't you call my name
I will take you down
I'm not your friend, you burned a bridge
I chew you up and spit you out
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love for a liar
Oh woah oh woah oh
There's no love for a liar, no love
So don't you call my name
(Call my name, call my name)

The Edge Of Tonight

It's a long way home,
When you're on your own,
And your only friends are the traffic lights,
Speaking in morse code,
(Yea) The road is long,
And I am tired,
But with you on my horizon,
I will drive until it all breaks down

'Cause I can't breathe without you near,
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest,

You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark,
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)

Spent my whole damn life,
Trying to get things right,
And for every one of my mistakes,
You gave me all these chances,
When the roads too long,
And I am tired,
You are my horizon,
And I'll drive until it all breaks down,

You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark,
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)

(You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest, honest, honest, oh woah
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest)

You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight,
Chasing tomorrow,
With fire in my eyes, (yea)
You're like a siren in the dark,
You're the beat playing in my heart,
You keep me alive,
On the edge of tonight, (yea)

We're on the edge of tonight
Edge of tonight
You keep me safe,
You keep me sane,
You keep me honest, honest, honest (standing on the edge of tonight)
On the edge of tonight
On the edge of tonight
On the edge of tonight

Old Scars / Future Hearts

In the dark there's a light that's calling everyone out
If you could see beyond the walls that you have built
I know it's hard to escape the past and start it again
Those memories of all the future hearts you killed

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live

Waking up just to catch yourself dreaming again
But you won't think outside the lines that hold you in
You say it's easier just to hide yourself away
To shut the windows, lock the doors and disappear

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live

We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
[x4]

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind
Don't blame me, don't hate me
I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live (this life is mine to live)
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live

I won't fade away
Be forgotten or just cast away
This life is mine to live
I won't fade away
I am lost inside this endless haze of life
But this life is mine to live

We got scars on our future hearts
But we never looked back
No, we never looked back
[x2]

Bottle And A Beat

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Do you remember
Fast times in the summer rain?
The cold in December
Was it all a dream?

Tell me you're alright
Tell me that I didn't mean a thing
Lie to my face now
Say anything

And I'll always remember to never forget you
I'll always remember to never forget

Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
I don't need money, don't need sleep
Just need your pretty face, now
Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
We don't need money don't need sleep
Just need a bottle and a beat
Just a bottle and a beat

Will you forgive me
Over whiskey in the rain
Is there a shelter
From all this pain
Tell me you were right, darling
Tell me that you knew me all too well
Instead of going to bed now
Feels like I'm going to hell

And I'll always remember to never forget you
I'll always remember to never forget

Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
I don't need money, don't need sleep
Just need your pretty face, now
Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
We don't need money don't need sleep
Just need a bottle and a beat
Just a bottle and a beat

Pull me close now
Like a candle in the rain
I will surrender
To you again

And I'll always remember to never forget you
I'll always remember to never forget

Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
I don't need money, don't need sleep
Just need your pretty face, now
Say you'll come find me
When I'm dancing in the streets
We don't need money don't need sleep
Just need a bottle and a beat
Just a bottle and a beat
Just a bottle and a beat
Just a bottle and a beat

Your Bed

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Where are you now
I'm a fool for asking
But I
Let you under my skin
And I
I've never been the same again
So don't ask me how
I keep myself together
Cuz I'm
Hardly together
And I
Gladly surrender
But I
I can't find the nerve to say it's alright
I can't find the nerve to say I miss you more
Then anybody should

So take me to your bed
And we can mess around
Like we never meant anything we said
I need you to feel again
Don't mess around
Just let me in
And take me to your bed
So take me to your bed
(Just let me in)
(And take me to your bed)

Who are you now (who are you now)
Do I want to know
Or am I
Asking for something that I
Know is probably gonna rip me open
I let you down
And I deserve to feel it
Yes I just can't believe
But I
Need to believe it
Cuz I
I can't find the nerve to say it's alright
I can't find the nerve to say I miss you more than anybody should

So take me to your bed
And we can mess around
Like we never meant anything we said
I need you to feel again
Don't mess around
Just let me in
And take me to your bed
So take me to your bed
(Just let me in)
(And take me to your bed)

So take me to your bed

(I can't find the nerve to say it's alright)
(I can't find the nerve to say I miss you more)

So take me to your bed
And we can mess around
Like we never meant anything we said
I need you to feel again
Don't mess around
Just let me in
And take me to your bed
So take me to your bed
(Just let me in)
(And take me to your bed)

So take me to your bed
(Just let me in)
(And take me to your bed)

How The Story Ends

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

All the time you spent on me, the good times and the misery
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Walk this road that no one sees
Behind closed doors no make believe
Do you wanna, do you wanna

Wanna take some time to talk it out or is this how it's gonna be

You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving
I say okay so long, I don't believe this change of plans is how the story ends
You say I don't show up here when you need me
I say that I'm not gonna be the one to tell our friends this how the story, how the story ends
This is how the story ends

Now every time you're up at night, tryna get your story right
Do you wanna, oh do you wanna
Call me up and play pretend that everything is fine again
Do you wanna, yeah do you wanna

Wanna take some time to talk it out or is this how its gonna be

You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving
I say okay so long, I don't believe this change of plans is how the story ends
You say I don't show up here when you need me

I say okay so long, I don't believe this change of plans is how the story ends
You say hello, goodbye, this time I'm leaving
I say okay so long, I don't believe this change of plans is how the story ends

You know I called my own from when you known me

Tell your friends this is how the story, how the story ends
This is how the story ends [x2]
