All Time Low - Wake Up, Sunshine Album Lyrics

Some Kind of Disaster

I'm a liar, I'm a cynic
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a loser, I'm a critic
I'm the ghost of my mistakes
And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want
What are you after?
Some kind of disaster, yeah

I woke up from a never-ending dream
I shut my eyes at seventeen
I lost every moment in between
I felt the sun rise up and swallow me, yeah

And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want

I'm a liar, I'm a cynic
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a loser, I'm a critic
I'm the ghost of my mistakes
And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want
So what are you after?
Some kind of disaster

I crashed down from a high that felt so real
I never knew how much it would hurt to feel
You gotta hurt sometimes to learn to heal
You gotta get back up and learn to deal, yeah

And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want

I'm a liar, I'm a cynic
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a loser, I'm a critic
I'm the ghost of my mistakes
And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want
So what are you after?
Some kind of disaster

Well I've sung this song a thousand times
I wore the crown, I sold the lie
I lived the life and paid for every crime, yeah
It's all downhill 'til it's a climb
Through blood and tears, but I don't mind
I'll just keep singing on and on and on

And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want

'Cause I'm a liar, I'm a cynic
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a loser, I'm a critic
I'm the ghost of my mistakes
And it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want
Yeah it's all my fault that I'm still the one you want
So what are you after?
Some kind of disaster

Sleeping In

I woke up on a Tuesday
Felt like a Friday night to me
Never wanna leave this bed
Tell me that you got nowhere to be
Can we stay all day? (All day)
Lay low in our lazy luxury
Sex in a rosé daze (daze)
All day, it's a real good thing

Just like that
There you go, making it hard to stay on track
Got shit to do, you got work
But we fall right back
Into bed, like it's all just a game
And we can't help that, no we can't help that
And we fall right back
Just like that

If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?
Seven in the morning, wanna listen to Britney?
Anything you wanna baby, that's okay with me now
(We don't sleep, but we like sleeping in)
Closing up the curtains while you call out of work now
I'm turning off my phone while you take off your shirt now
Waste another day, 'nother night, 'nother weekend
But we don't sleep, but we like sleeping in

Everyday's a holiday
We stay hot when it's cold outside, you know
Haven't left your place in days
Postmates and dirty laundry

Just like that
There you go, making it hard to stay on track
We got shit to do, you got work
But we fall right back
Into bed, like it's all just a game
And we can't help that, no we can't help that
So we fall right back
Just like that

If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?
Seven in the morning, wanna listen to Britney?
Anything you wanna baby, that's okay with me now
(We don't sleep, but we like sleeping in)
Closing up the curtains while you call out of work now
I'm turning off my phone while you take off your shirt now
Waste another day, 'nother night, 'nother weekend
But we don't sleep, but we like sleeping in

We like sleeping in
We like sleeping in
We like sleeping in
We like sleeping in

If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?
Seven in the morning, wanna listen to Britney?
Anything you wanna baby, that's okay with me now
Closing up the curtains while you call out of work now
I'm turning off my phone while you take off your shirt now
Waste another day, 'nother night, 'nother weekend
But we don't sleep, but we like sleeping in

If I said I want your body, would you hold it against me?
Seven in the morning, wanna listen to Britney?
Anything you wanna baby, that's okay with me now
But we don't sleep, but we like sleeping in

Getaway Green

Sipping cherry cola
Staring at the poster on the wall
What's the point of going out
When you could just give me a call?
Sitting on your sofa
Reminiscing over 23
You touched yourself, the way I used to
Now that's just a memory

Weekend wonderful
Fade away youth
Summer symphony
What could I do?

We were getaway green
In a world of black and white
Getaway green
Like the Costa Mesa traffic lights
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Telling me I'm what you need
Like getaway green
Getaway green

I know I'm not supposed to
Color in the lines when it comes to you
Undefined and out of mind
'Til you get lost and lonely, too
I guess I get the message
We don't have to stress this anymore
If it happens, then it happens
Happy to have you at all

Weekend wonderful
Fade away youth
Summer symphony
What could I do?

We were getaway green
In a world of black and white
Getaway green
Like the Costa Mesa traffic lights
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Telling me I'm what you need
Like getaway green
Getaway green

Do you wanna know how the story ends?
Hazy and spun out, just more than friends
Weekend wonderful, a dizzy dream
A colorful lie, we made a hell of a team

We were getaway green
In a world of black and white
Getaway green
Like the Costa Mesa traffic lights
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Telling me I'm what you need
Like getaway green
Getaway green

Getaway green
Getaway (getaway) green

Melancholy Kaleidoscope

Nobody wants to hear a sad song
So I just grit my teeth and sing along
There's a choir of the coldest hearts echoing the halls
So a give a little more gas to burn and we can fast-cut now to the curtain call

Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's alright
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five

I wanna hear another fast song
Something to tune out all these bad thoughts
Light a fire in the coldest hearts filling up the halls
Pass another lit match to burn and we can fast-cut now to the curtain call
(We now return to our regularly scheduled program)

Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's alright
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five

So would you please stand by
Are we out of time?
Maybe I'll feel better
Give me forty-five
Staring at the ceiling
Choking back my feelings
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five

Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's high time
You shake things up and get the picture in your head right
Melancholy kaleidoscope, it's alright
Can't be one hundred (no)
Can't be one hundred if you're only giving ninety-five
If you're only giving ninety-five
Only giving ninety-five

Trouble Is

Feel you under my skin
Middle of the night, wonder if you feel it too
Echoing in my head
Color me with doubt, so much that we didn't see through
Knew we had a good thing
Didn't know just how much I would miss you
Sick of doing nothing
Even now you're gone, I know that I need you

Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is I don't wanna let go
Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is

All that I know is I just can't say no to you
Funny how things never change (trouble is)
All that I wanted was just to get over you
Trouble is I can't find a way
You're part of me

Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is you're part of me

I can see a new light
Burnin' up the sky, fillin' up the whole damn room
Wanna look away but
Even when I try there's a little that gets through
Hide away the feeling
Never was enough, doesn't matter what I do
Sick of doing nothing
Even when you're gone, I know that I need you

Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is I don't wanna let go
Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is, trouble is

All that I know is I just can't say no to you
Funny how things never change (trouble is)
All that I wanted was just to get over you
Trouble is I can't find a way
You're part of me

(Trouble is) A part of me
(Trouble is) A scar to me
(Trouble is) A drop of bleach
(Trouble is) On my favorite tee
(Trouble is) A part of me
(Trouble is) A scar to me
(Trouble is, trouble is)
Trouble is you're part of me

All that I know is I just can't say no to you
Funny how things never change
All that I wanted was just to get over you
Trouble is I can't find a way
You're part of me

Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is I don't wanna let go
Trouble is, trouble is
Trouble is I don't wanna let go

Trouble is you're part of me

Wake Up, Sunshine

Alive in the age of outrage and outrageous behavior
To say it's a call-it-on
Are you livin' well in a livin' hell?
So smile for the cameras and say that your love
Ain't as tame as the ones you're shit talkin'
Are you livin' well?
Are you livin' well?

Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you for yourself
Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you

You're pissin' away, every day's a cliché
And they say if you're bored then you're borin'
Are you livin' well in a livin' hell?
Are you livin' well?
Are you livin' well?

Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you for yourself
Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you tonight
Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you for yourself
Wake up, sunshine
'Cause somebody loves you, somebody loves you

Everyone wants to be somebody else
Just want you to see how good you are
You don't have to lean on the crutch of a daydream
To see that you shine like a star

Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you for yourself
Wake up, sunshine
Somebody loves you, somebody loves you
Wake up, sunshine (is anybody listening?)
Somebody loves you for yourself
Wake up, sunshine (is anybody there?)
'Cause somebody loves you, somebody loves you tonight

Are you livin' well, are you livin' for yourself?

Monsters

Why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep when we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?

Another day, 'nother headache in this hangover hotel
Gettin' used to the rhythm, yeah, I know this beat too well
Tunnel visions got me feeling, like you're the only one I see
But I know what's missing, where I'm swimmin'
In my lonely luxury

I'm wondering why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep when we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?

I'm addicted to the way you hurt, the way you contradict me
I swear everything look worse at night, I think I'm overthinking
I don't care who I might hurt along the way, I'm f*ckin' sinking
Into every word, I don't care if you lyin' when I'm drinking
So, tell me pretty lies, look me in my face
Tell me that you love me, even if it's fake
You can lead me on and leave these questions in my sheets
I'm under it, I made my bed and I'm still wonderin'

I'm wondering why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep when we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?

Thinkin' about you, you're in my head
Even without you, I still feel dead
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?
Dead, thinking about you, you're in my head
Even without you, I still feel dead
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?

I'm wondering why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep when we want to hide? (Hide)
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life? (F*ck up my life)

Like I don't mind if you f*ck up my life

Pretty Venom (Interlude)

I think I'm going through denial
It's been a while, but it's clear when it hits me
I think I might have gone insane
I rot my brain, getting high on our history

Always know I'll be the one you'd sink your teeth into
Never thought I'd taste this good to anyone but you

How you gonna say that, take it all back
F*ckin' with my head will make my heart attack
And it's so bad, feelin' this sad
Runnin', runnin' circles down a one way track 'cause
You know what you do
How you gonna say that, take it all back
F*ckin' with my head will make my heart attack, yeah

Trapped like rats inside a maze
It ain't the same, but it sure comes close now
Pretty venom in my veins
How many ways, can I say this over

Always know I'll be the one you'd sink your teeth into
Never thought I'd taste this good to anyone but you

How you gonna say that, take it all back
F*ckin' with my head will make my heart attack
And it's so bad, feelin' this sad
Runnin' runnin' circles down a one way track 'cause
You know what you do
How you gonna say that, take it all back
Why you wanna do me like that

How you gonna say that, take it all back
F*ckin' with my head will make my heart attack
And it's so bad, feelin' this sad
F*ckin' with my head will make my heart attack, yeah

Favorite Place

I saw your face in a photograph
Oh how I wish that it could talk back
I'd drive right off the earth to find you
If it meant that I could see you tonight
And I know you don't belong (know you don't belong)
Know you don't belong to anyone
No you can't be tamed love, and
Maybe I was wrong (maybe I was wrong)
Maybe I was wrong for this
But you feel like the sun on my face

So can we close the space between us now
It's the distance we don't need (hey)
Yeah, you're everything I love about
The things I hate in me (hey)
So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place

I saw your face in the fire again
I touched the flames and burned down everything
I hear the sirens west of 8th now
Wonder if you're hearin' them too
And I know you don't belong (know you don't belong)
Know you don't belong to anyone
No you can't be tamed love
Maybe I was wrong (maybe I was wrong)
Maybe I was wrong for this
But you feel like the perfect escape now
(Just like the sun on my face)

So can we close the space between us now
It's the distance we don't need (hey)
Yeah, you're everything I love about
The things I hate in me (hey)
So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place

Safe

Safe, better keep that thought to yourself (self)
When you find that place and it only lasts for a minute
Yeah, it only lasts for a minute
These days (days), gotta take your time, find your space (space)
You can say it louder, but only you're gonna hear it
And it's gone in less than a minute

Take a little time to dry your salty ocean tears
If you need it, then you don't have to explain

So put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna be all right if you just stop thinkin' it over
Just put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
They'll never slow you down if you never look over your shoulder (oh)

Safe (safe), you can keep that thought for yourself (safe)
Yeah, you found your place, and you're all for this new beginning
You can make it last if you're into it

Stop wasting all your time away waiting up for better things
If you feel it, then that's all you have to say

So put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
You're gonna be all right if you just stop thinkin' it over (oh, oh, oh)
Just put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
They'll never slow you down if you never look over your shoulder (oh)

(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)

Just put the car in drive
And chase the county lines
You'll never know how far you'll go
And where the coastal highs
For every long goodbye
There'll be a future down the road
Why don't you take a little time to get away?

So put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh 'til you're long gone)
You're gonna be all right if you just stop thinkin' it over (oh, oh, oh)
Just put the courage on
And don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone (oh 'til you're long gone)
They'll never slow you down if you don't look over your shoulder (oh)

They say you'll be all right
If you just stop thinkin' it over (oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)

January Gloom (Seasons, Pt. 1)

I got myself a brand new pair of boots
To keep the rain out
I got myself a brand new leather coat
To fight the cold
I've gotta find a way to break this spell
Before I lose it
A victim of the season, need a better reason
To be miserable

I blame it on the weather
Can't keep it together, no

So can you save me from this January gloom
Hiding in your room, the things that we could do
You're like the sunshine in the lazy days of June
Hiding in your room, save me from this January

Another drop of Hudson in the dark
To lift these spirits
Another record spins my heavy heart
And flips the script
Some crazy way to turn this life around
You know I'll take it
A victim of the season, f*ck another reason
To be miserable

I blame it on the weather
Can you make it better now

Come on and save me from this January gloom
Hiding in your room, the things that we could do
You're like the sunshine in the lazy days of June
Hiding in your room, save me from this January gloom

And all the things I'd like to tell you
Save it for another day
Somewhere not so far, just for now
We'll shut those words away
And there you are, and there you were
You do your best or do your worst
All I want, all I need for now is you to save me

So can you save me from this January gloom
Hiding in your room, the things that we could do
You're like the sunshine in the lazy days of June
Hiding in your room, save me from this January gloom
(Hiding in your room)
Save me from this January gloom

Clumsy

I flew too close to the sun
Fell back to Earth like a stone
I got too high on myself
Too young and stupid to tell

I was bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
(I let you down)

Caught at the end of the lifeline
The catch of a lifetime
(I should've known, should've known, should've known)
Oh we were destined for danger
Familiar strangers
(I should've known, should've known)

We were bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again

Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down (let you down)
I've been clumsy with your heart again

Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turn the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash

Glitter & Crimson

It's a typical story, three in the morning
You're holding my head
Caught in the tension, silent confessions
At the foot of your bed
Glitter and crimson, fighting the friction
What a perfect mess
I wonder if you feel kinda like I feel
Temporary
Fixed on a moment just out of focus
And we can't quite see
Being us ain't good for us

And I don't wanna wait till the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four leaf clover

Heavy as ever, light as a feather
I'm caught in between
Hard to stay focused, process the progress
How long can we be
Happy if happy ain't meant for us
'Cause being less ain't good enough
But being us feels good to us

And I don't wanna wait till the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four leaf clover

No compromise and no second best
There's no stopping now, this weight on my chest
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
I won't settle for less, I won't settle for less

I don't wanna wait till the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous so
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
Oh yeah
'Cause I'm a supernova
And you're my four leaf clover

Summer Daze (Seasons, Pt. 2)

We met after dark and after hours
Your lips were cherry sour
We didn't have to speak
We were breakin' out and startin' over
With nothing to control us
Our futures at our feet

But nothing gold can stay, you told me so
Sometimes moving on means letting go
(Stuck in a)

Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no
Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no

Circling your block for half an hour
You said they cut your power
Now it's too hard to sleep
Serendipity and summer showers
We soak it up like flowers
Growing through the concrete

But nothing gold can stay, you told me so
Now all the nights seem just a little darker
Sometimes moving on means letting go
And letting go is only getting harder
(Lost in a)

Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no
Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no

Never know, if you don't try
Wasn't our, wasn't our time
Never know, if you don't try
Wasn't our, wasn't our time
Even when you're gone it's like I (never know, if you don't try)
Heard my favorite song and now I (wasn't our, wasn't our time)
Never have to wonder, no I (never know, if you don't try)
Never have to wonder (wasn't our, wasn't our time)
Even when you're gone it's like I
Heard my favorite song and now I
Never have to wonder, no I
Never have to wonder

Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no
Sad summer daze, don't fade away
Don't fade away from me, no
(Can't walk away)

Basement Noise

We used to be all hypothetical
A fever dream, can't get hysterical
Found a space and time in the Holocene
Make believe, make believe yeah
Cut our teeth chasing the weekend
Capsize and fall in the deep end
Outta line, don't mind the pretense now
How were we supposed to know
It all wraps up when you let go
And where are we supposed to go from here
We're too far gone to turn back now
It's all for one lost in the crowd
And all for nothing if it disappears

They're just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah

Telephone the girls from the next street
Wonder if the sounds are connecting
Trying to see the future in what they see in us, see in us now
Wanna ditch the predictability
Hit the road, 18 on 83
Some are lost, some are found, the world is shrinking down
How were we supposed to know
It all adds up when you let go
And where are we supposed to go from here
(Where are we supposed to go from here)
We're too far gone to turn back now
It's all for one lost in the crowd
And all for nothing if it disappears

They're just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah

They're just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, noise in the basement
Just stupid boys making basement noise
In the basement, yeah yeah
