so boycott love, detox just to retox

dance, dance, we're falling apart to half-time

nobody said the road was endless, nobody said the crime was friendless

i never meant for you to fix yourself

i'm hopelessly hopeful you're just hopeless enough, but we never had it at all

two explorers in the dark, making maps and drawing shots

woah, i want to hate you half as much as i hate myself

we need umbrellas on the inside, get us right

and i spin for you like your favorite records used to

i'm calling you from the future to let you know we've made a mistake

you know you look so seattle, but you feel so l.a.

i've got a lot of friends who are stars, but some are just black holes

i'm sick of always writing songs for you to slit your wrists to

your time has passed, they say never means never

if you were church, i'd get on my knees, confess my love, i'd know where to be

baby, you were my picket fence, i miss missing you now and then

i'll be as honest as you let me, i'm just your early morning company, if you get me

take our tears, put 'em on ice

boys in three pieces dream of grandstanding and bravado

wish hard enough, i can turn it to what i like

the best part of "believe" is the "lie", i hope you sing along and you steal a line

i got a big mouth, and maybe you could handle shutting it up

i like playing dumb, letting you figure me out

i'm pretty sure as far as humans go, i am a hard, hard pill to swallow

which came first, the music or the misery?

you must see my way, they scream when they look at me, i'm a, i'm a star, i'm a, i'm a star

hand over my heart, gun to my head

where can i go when i want you around but i can't stand to be around you?

i'm 'bout to go tonya harding on the whole world's knee

we sold our souls in dark hotel rooms

on the drive home, joke about the kid you used to see and his jealousy

so put the "d" in dirt now, baby, baby, let's get you wasted and alone

wearing our vintage misery, no, i think it looked a little better on me

and i'm going on and on and on, make me like a charm on your necklace, oh, your necklace

we're gonna die, it's just a matter of time, hard times come, good times go

we didn't come to compete, this is a demonstration

dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city

here i am, not sure you should take a chance

not the boy i was, the boy i am is just venting, venting

i served out my detention, and in the end i got an honorable mention

all the boys who the dance floor didn't love, and all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough, sing until your lungs give out

would you bury me next to johnny cash? i'm obsessed, do you love me like that? yeah

got a few more fake friends and it's getting hard to know what's real

empty another bottle and let me tear you to pieces

tell that boy i'll leave you alone now

i'm done with having dreams, the thing that i believe, oh, you drain all the fear from me

always you make my stomach turn, and all the long drives with my friends blur

this is me standing in the arch of the door hating that look that's on your face that says there's another fool like me, there's one born every minute

and all the boys are smoking menthols, girls are getting back rubs

hey chris, you were our only friend, and i know this is belated, but we love you back
