And I know it's long gone And there was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed to

Yeah We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way It's miserable and magical Oh, yeah Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks It's time

I watch superman fly away You've got a busy day today Go save the world, I'll be around And I watch superman fly away Come back I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down

And you know That I don't want you to go, oh, oh Remind me how it used to be Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks And say you want me, yeah-yeah And then you say...

Come back, come back, come back to me like You could, you could if you just said you're sorry I know that we could work it out somehow But if this was a movie you'd be here by now

So I did my best to lay to rest All of the bodies that have ever been on my body And in my mind, they sink into the swamp Is that a bad thing to say in a song?

Oh, what a valiant roar What a bland goodbye The coward claimed he was a lion I'm combing through the braids of lies 'I'll never leave' 'Never mind'

Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue So I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you I really thought I'd lost you

I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defendin' now? You were my town Now I'm in exile seein' you out I think I've seen this film before

I can't make it go away by making you a villain I guess it's the price I paid For seven years in Heaven And I pulled your body into mine Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties

Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah And you heard about me, ooh I got some big enemies (Yeah)

'Cause karma is my boyfriend Karma is a god Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend Karma's a relaxing thought Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Who could stay? You could stay

Don't call me 'kid' Don't call me 'baby' Look at this idiotic fool that you made me You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else And you know damn well For you I would ruin myself ...a million little times

New money, suit and tie I can read you like a magazine Ain't it funny? Rumors fly And I know you heard about me

And, baby, for you I would fall from grace Just to touch your face If you walk away I'd beg you on my knees to stay

Who do I have to speak to To change the prophecy? Hand on the throttle Thought I caught lightning in a bottle, oh But it's gone again Pad around when I get home I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope A greater woman wouldn't beg But I looked to the sky and said Please...

I'm perfectly fine, I live on my own I made up my mind, I'm better off being alone We met a few weeks ago Now you try on callin' me 'baby' like tryin' on clothes

My heart, my hips, my body, my love Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch Gave up on me like I was a bad drug Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club

Then one magical night I forgot that you Sent me a clear message Taught me some hard lessons I just forget what they were It's all just a blur

And all we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction

This is a state of grace This is the worthwhile fight Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right

He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is...

Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you

No words appear before me in the aftermath Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness 'Cause it's all over now, all out to sea

But she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts She's cheer captain And I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for Has been here the whole time

Rain soaking Blind hoping You said I was freeloading I didn't know you were keeping count But, oh, you were keeping count

Honey, when I'm above the trees I see this for what it is But now I'm right down in it All the years I've given Is just shit we're dividin' up

We were supposed to be just friends You don't live in my part of town But maybe I'll see you out some weekend Depending on what kind of mood and situation-ship I'm in And what's in my system

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you

How many days did I spend thinking 'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong? Lived in the shade you were throwing 'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone

Can't you see That I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along So, why can't you see You belong with me

I patched up the crack along the wall I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 'Cause that's where I was when I lost it all

'You look like Stevie Nicks In '75, the hair and lips Crowd goes wild at her fingertips Half moonshine, a full eclipse'

But I got smarter I got harder in the nick of time Honey, I rose up from the dead I do it all the time I've got a list of names And yours is in red, underlined I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

And I think about summer All the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the passenger side And realized I loved you in the fall

I can feel the flames on my skin Crimson-red paint on my lips If a man talks shit Then I owe him nothing I don't regret it one bit 'Cause he had it coming

She said, I was seven and you were nine I looked at you like the stars that shined In the sky, the pretty lights

So here I am in my new apartment In a big city, they just dropped me off It's so much colder than I thought it would be So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on Wish I'd never grown up I wish I'd never grown up

Don't say 'Yes', run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church At the back door Don't wait or say a single vow Your time is running out And they said, 'Speak now.'

I watch superman fly away I swear I'll be with you someday I'll be right here on the ground When you come back down When you come back down

You know I love a London boy I enjoy walking SoHo Drinking in the afternoon (Yeah) He likes my American smile Like a child when our eyes meet Darling, I fancy you (You)

And I just wanna tell you It takes everything in me not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that every time I don't I almost do I almost do

You are somebody that we don't know But you're coming at my friends like a missile Why are you mad When you could be GLAAD?

And it's hard to be at a party When I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days When all I want is you You're a flashback in a film reel On the one screen in my town

We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there On a balcony in summer air See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns See you make your way through the crowd And say, 'Hello'

Next chapter How'd we end up this way? See me nervously pulling at my clothes And trying to look busy And you're doing your best to avoid me

It's 2AM in your car Windows down, you pass my street The memories start You say it's in the past You drive straight ahead You're thinking that I hate you now 'Cause you still don't know what I never said

Here's a toast to my real friends They don't care about the he-said, she-said And here's to my baby He ain't reading what they call me lately

Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
