The Front Bottoms - Back On Top Lyrics






Motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle and being in a gang
Being in love and women's rights and male hedonism
Worshiping the devil, good vibes all around
And acting cool, and acting cool
And acting cool, and acting cool
And acting cool, and acting cool

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
And most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

I changed my life I was gasping for air
I was leaning forward almost fell outta my chair
And now you're looking suspicious asking is that true
Come on people, would I lie to you
Come on people, would I lie to you
Would I lie to you

(it's just that) sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
(it's just that) most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

More like a couple of nights ago
Said nobody knows
Oh I am safe but not for long
Go back a couple of nights ago
Play the usual
So I feel safe to sing along
More like a couple of nights ago
Couple nights ago

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
Most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

Sometimes you gotta close your eyes
To truly see the light
Most of us are older now
We should know wrong from right
You and me, me and you
Loving each other the way that we do

Summer Shandy

You caught me doing push-ups in the morning before everyone else woke up
And then the c-dog busted in he was out all night getting chased by cops
And in this moment, I was pretty pleased with the person I was pretending to be

I got them bad boy blues, baby
I got them bad boy blues, baby

When she asks me why they call me Brian instead of Steven
I tell her it's got nothing to do with personal than professional reasons
I got a whole list of reasons I should stop before I start
But the only thing stronger then my head is my heart

I got them bad boy blues, baby
(I got them bad boy blues, baby)
I got them bad boy blues
I feel hypnotized by the way you move
And those big brown eyes

Yeah, that would be great
That would be beach house living
Every night, rest of our lives, you and me
We could go swimming, swimming
Yeah, that would be great
That would be beach house living
Every night, rest of our lives, you and me
We could go swimming, swimming

I got them bad boy blues, baby
(I got them bad boy blues, baby)
I got them bad boy blues
I feel hypnotized by the way you move
And those big brown eyes

Yea, that would be great
That would be beach house living
Every night, rest of our lives, you and me
We could go swimming, swimming

(I got them bad boy blues, baby)
Yea, that would be great
That would be beach house living
Every night, rest of our lives, you and me
We could go swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming
Swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming
Swimming I got them bad boy blues baby

Cough It Out

It's snowing right now I wish it was summer
But when the summer rolls around ill wish I was freezing
They don't call me Mr. Greenside for no reason
When they do I pause and cough it out
I cough it out, I cough it out, I cough it out
I cough it out

All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in seam to bend and take the shape of them
And ohhhhhh can't you see
I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love

I don't care if you're not sorry I forgive you
And with or without your support I will continue
What I'm trying to say is you never know what you've been through
Till you pause and cough it out
I cough it out, I cough it out, I cough it out
I cough it out

All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in seam to bend and take the shape of them
And ohhhhhh can't you see
I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love
I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love

Whatever I did for you last year I cannot do again
It's getting harder and harder and harder and harder for me to call you friend
No matter how many times I say I won't I'll defend you if I can
But whatever I did for you last year I cannot do again

I like the in-betweens I like the time it takes to get somewhere
If you know what I mean
Wave your hands in the air like you just don't care
I just don't care [x5]

All the branches on the tree
That we carved our initials in seam to bend and take the shape of them
And ohhhhhh can't you see
I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love, I am delusional with love

But whatever I did for you last year,
I cannot do again.
I will not do again.ï>>¿

Help

Some of us go through some changes
Some of us go through some phases
Things we fall into,
And then fall out
You'd explain this to yourself in the bathroom mirror last night
As you take your toothbrush out of your mouth

You said "This is what I want, motherf*cker make it happen for me" [x2]

Help
You are the poison I need
Help
Less of inside my body
Help
You need a means to an ending
I need a spiritual cleansing

When you ask me "Do you wanna stay?" believe me
What I wanna say is "Yes" but I gotta go to work

Help
You are the poison I need
Help
Less of inside my body
Help
You need a means to an ending
And I need a spiritual cleansing

On some nights there's something cool to do
On some nights there is nothing to do at all
I guess it's cool for right now
Just like everything else

I watch her throw her hands up into the air
I hear her say "Don't worry"
The lovers will go down together into the flames with nothing else
But the promise to meet up and hang out

To hang out. Oh, I wanna hang out

Thank you for letting me borrow your jacket it
Kept me warm in a cold place
Some people no matter how much money they make
Can't get out of their own way [x2]

So (Help)
I'm always focusing in on the wrong things (Help)
And then the wrong things become everything (help)
I don't know what I'm gonna do, I don't know what I'm gonna do about anything (Help)

(This is what I want, motherf*cker make it happen for me)
(Help)

You are the poison I need (Help)
(This is what I want, motherf*cker make it happen for me)
You need a means to an ending (Help)

I don't know anything (Help)
I don't what I'm gonna do about anything (Help)
I don't what I'm gonna do about anything

Laugh Till I Cry

I guess I just don't get your plan
Are you trying to smash my world up
I'm trying to understand
You say you know me not truly who I am
You stress the modifier while I stress the adjective

But you're in your car
And I'm on my motorcycle
I lay on the floor
Naturally bite your ankle

I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind

It's like the blind leading the blind
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine sometimes you gotta close your eyes if you wanna see the light
It's not my style to feel strong
Strong enough to start a fight
Fight that I would probably lose but in the end
I would survive
I would survive

I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind

Ladies and gentlemen
The DJ just threw up
On the dance floor
Party is over,
It's time to go
It's time to go

You were thinking about leaving
You were thinking about walking away
The whole time sleeping
In the jail right next to me

I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind
I laugh till I cry
I party all of the time
I must have liked it a couple years ago
But at some point I changed my mind

But you're in your car
And I'm on my motorcycle
I lay on the floor
Naturally bite your ankles

Ladies and gentlemen
The DJ just threw up
On the dance floor
Party is over
It's time to go

Historic Cemetery

Just you and me
Getting high and hanging out
Getting high and messing around
Getting high and trying to figure it out

There was a sacrificial ritual inside my room last night
Was held there in secret hard to see anything in the candle light
Now there is melted wax all over my floor
And the scent of incense is rising up from underneath the door

Now maybe it was not as serious as I am making it sound

Just you and me
Getting high and hanging out
Getting high and messing around
Getting high, trying to figure it out

I feel the burn my tired feet
Not much to go a few more streets
See your face is all I need
My one and only, my sweet relief
And you would think I never had it
The way that this world likes my magic
But it was all for you
To continue to be able
To continue to be able
Right now

Cause you and me
Getting high and hanging out
Getting high and messing around
Getting high, trying to figure it out
I don't need your (getting high) reasons anymore
(And messing around) I don't need your reasons anymore
I don't need your reasons anymore

I put my wrong finger in the hot wax
Now I can't play for you like that
The last thing I need is truly
The stupid excuse for a reason to fight back
I can't begin
Begin to tell you
The way it all felt
When everything fell through

You moved to New York to meet a beautiful girl
And drink fancy cocktails without a care in the world
But you got scared they're all gonna find someone else
So you find one and tell her things you're dying to tell
We got (high as hell) to a record, how did I forget how it went
It was a song about love and at the time it made sense
When the side ended we just laid there in bed
You had fallen asleep but I stayed up and read
I made a list of everything I said I never meant
Considered all the things I never said but I digress
I got dressed kissed your forehead and left
You called me when you woke but I was sleeping off the meds

The Plan (F*ck Jobs)

I f*ckin' hate the comments
Why do you feel you have to talk
Nobody asked for your opinion
Your sick sad way of jerkin' off
Every one you think you're better then
What the f*ck I'm guilty too
Half the time that I'm complaining
I'm just talking shit on you (I'm sorry)

Never underestimate
Poor hungry and desperate
My body is a temple
How much you think I could get for it
And I will take cold showers from now on until I learn
That once you f*ck the fire all that's left to do is burn
Baby burn, baby burn

I could feel myself falling from an aeroplane
I hear static when I close my eyes
I imagine one day things settling
And I think about what that might be like

When my mind is uncertain my body decides
'Cause I love you I miss you I wanna hug and kiss you
'Cause I love you I miss you I wanna f*ckin kiss you
(It's alright)

I want world domination just like everybody else
So if you hear me talking strategy
It's only to myself
Everybody's gotta have a game plan
Cut up a couple different ways
Just hope no one remembers these the darkest of my days

When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides
When my mind is uncertain my body decides

Ginger

Ginger is sleeping on the floor,
Of a hardwood floor apartment.
Maybe one day she'll have more to say,
But right now she has no comment.

Everything's a cavity.
The last few months especially.
But all of that's behind her now.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
See you can tie her up,
Just don't tie her down.
Yeah, you can tie her up,
Don't tie her down.

Back before I got struck by lighting,
And things were so much different than they are now.
I got a lot more people leaning on me.
And all I wanna do is make them proud.

But this is my body.
The only thing that I own entirely.
And it'll carry me to greatness somehow.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
See, you can tie me up,
Don't tie me down.
Yeah, you can tie me up,
Don't tie me down.
Don't tie me down.

Every spider I kill,
Stays inside of my pocket.
I am so desperate to tame the beast,
I shut the door and I lock it.

I got a dead spider in my pocket,
I'm not ashamed to say
I was desperate to tame the beast.
Desperate to tame the beast.

See you can tie me up (You can tie me up),
But don't tie me down (Don't tie me down).
Yeah you can tie me up (You can tie me up),
But don't tie me down (Don't tie me down).

Cause everything's a cavity.
The last three months especially.
But all of that's behind me now.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
So you can tie me up,
Don't tie me down.

2Yl

With you on top of me,
And me underneath you.
I bet we'll go 100 miles an hour
Through the ceiling
Cause I am numb
I am numb to the feeling
Looking for that sexual healing

Cause our love's the only thing that could matter
Take me up and up and up like a ladder
Cause our love's the only thing that could matter
Take me up and up like a ladder

Yeah maybe that could be my thing, what do ya think?
I'm talking two young lovers and half priced drinks
I could fight the rainclouds in your life
Every day, every night.

Smashing bottles and stepping on glass
Has never felt so good in the past
I'm only human with my flaws
Just a fool without a cause
With you grinding on me
And me grinding back on you
I bet we look beautiful
Slip sliding on the dance floor

Cause our love's the only thing that could matter
Take me up and up and up like a ladder
Our love's the only thing that could matter
Take me up and up like a ladder

Yeah maybe that could be your thing, what do ya think?
I'm talking two young lovers and half priced drinks
I could fight the rainclouds in your life
Every day, every night.

Yeah maybe that could be your thing, what do ya think?
I'm talking two young lovers and half priced drinks
I could fight the rainclouds in your life
Every day, every night.

Cause our love's the only thing that could matter
Take me up and up like a ladder.

Yeah maybe that could be your thing, what do ya think?
I'm talking two young lovers and half priced drinks
I could fight the rainclouds in your life
Every day, every night.

Yeah maybe that could be your thing, what do ya think?
I'm talking two young lovers and half priced drinks
I could be the rainbow in your sky
Shooting stars above you every night.

West Virginia

Is it raining where you are?
The only thing I could think to ask
But nothing ever hurt so bad
As the "no" that you said back
But ain't that the truth, man
Those are just facts
The farther you go from where you start
The harder it is to get back

Love of my life, gone forever
Love of my life, gone for good

This is for all my friends in West Virginia

The good stuff comes
The good stuff goes
The good stuff seems so hard to hold
Hope it slides slowly down your throat
So the taste of it may linger
Right now, I'm just a volcano
On the brink of eruption
Right now I'm just a psycho
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction

Love of my life, gone forever
Love of my life, gone for good

I wish I may, I wish I might
One day live life like a person in paradise
Right now, I'm just a volcano
On the brink of eruption
Right now I'm just a psycho
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction
Hell bent on self-destruction

Ride or die
Brothers for life
Darkest days
Coldest nights
Ride or die
Brothers for life
Darkest days
Coldest nights
There ain't no doctor on earth
There ain't no lord up above
Who knows a strong enough medicine
Or a lifesaving love

Like I said, I thought I was focused
I thought I had it figured out
How to organize my words good
Before they fall right out my mouth
But I have learned that the direction
I was walking was so wrong
And I just need a little help here, man
To find the path I should be on

Love of my life, gone forever
Love of my life, gone for good
Love of my life, gone forever
Get her back, good lord you know I wish I could
