What makes up burn every bridge we cross?
Or walk aimlessly into oncoming traffic?

But, I think I'll let them take to the sky
Yeah, I've got fourteen balloons
We can count them one by one, and say goodbye

matchbook romance - ex marks the spots

love is just another word for pain
it's a broken record repeating the same thing
when you want it it's not there
when you have it you don't care
when i lose it in the end...

the heartbreak, the heartache is more than i wanted
we gave up, we made up
it's not like you cared
deception, depression is all that i've got
and but who said love was fair

and i've made up my mind
i'd be better off alone
love is just a waste of time

and all the lonely nights
and all the crushing scenes
and all the pointless fights

someone tell me what it means
someone tell me why hearts break
'cuz sometimes i think this thing called love is another word for pain

and i'm giving up on happy endings
the one's that are only in movies
where the guy gets the girl and everybody's happy
i think that's the way it should be

the heartbreak, the heartache is more than i wanted
we gave up, we made up
it's not like you cared
deception, depression is all that i've got
and but who said love was fair

and i've made up my mind
i'd be better off alone
love is just a waste of time

and all the lonely nights
and all the crushing scenes
and all the pointless fights

someone tell me what it means
someone tell me why hearts break
'cuz sometimes i think this thing called love is another word for pain

is another word for pain
is another word for pain
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah...

matchbook romance - farewell to friends

A pictures worth a thousand words
But not worth the words I need to hear
I miss you so much that it hurts
And tonight, I wish you were here with me
So I could make you see
The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly
They remind me of
All the times, when we used to sit underneath on those summer nights
And fall in love

Its not alright, it's our last night together
I won't give up, I can't let go, of you.
I can't let go of you.

And tonight, I close my eyes and dream that she
is still the one, laying there beside me
I'd walk a thousand miles
I'd swim across the sea
What do I have to do, please just tell me

But you're just shooting blanks
All I hear is bang bang
All we hear is bang bang

And no, you'll never have to see

Never have to deal with me again
If that's what you want
And that's what you get
And no, you'll never have to see
Never have to see me
Never have to deal with me again

Keep me in suspense
And tell me what it meant
The end you set between you and me
Look me in the eyes
And tell me what it meant
Just before we both go

I never looked back
Cross my heart and hope to die
I did it for love, love
I did it for the cry, love love
I wanna overdose on her kiss
Leaving me like this
Will you be my drug, drug?
Yeah, be my drug, drug

And no, you'll never have to see

matchbook romance - goody, like two shoes

Honestly, they'll never know
We'll escape through your window
And they're onto us
But this time is ours
There are reasons for what I did
It wasn't a bad attempt for accomplishment
It was innocent you know

La, ladada, lada, ladada, lada, ladada, lala

And there's something for the pain
Something to make this guilt go away
You're forgetting us
You're forgetting everything
And I wanna hate you for my mistakes
I hate you for everything
This is goodbye, this is always

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here, like it or not

But wait, what do we have here?
Is that just you?
Or as we're toasting to innocence
And drown our regret
But to no recollection of letting this go
Wait up for me
Well I'll be taking swings and it goes lightly down
Pinned down right in front of me

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here like it or not
Like it or not

But nothing was louder than
The sound of my steps to your door

You're cold but you're beautiful
You're a mess but I like it that way
I'm a fool, only a fool is reckoned
And I won't ask for anything
No, I won't ask for anything, ever again
Just give me this one thing, that's all I ask
That's all I ask

Don't wait up for me
Well I'll be taking swings and it goes lightly down
Pinned down in front of me

We're covering up our tracks
And living in secrets
We can learn to love life
Or learn to love pain
And if you still hear my voice
Than give me a sign, let me know
You're still here like it or not
Like it or not

matchbook romance - hidden

Is there really a God?
We could really use a miracle right now
My secrets can't confide
They're given away, as soon as I can
And no, I'm really not that scared
I deserve what I get
Even though I'm not prepared
I will conquer this
Protecting you
Protecting your uselessness
And I know you really did try
They're coming for me tonight
Greet them at the door with a smile
Invite them in to take me away
And it's all just a bad dream, a nightmare
You will leave your light on
So that I know you're home
And I've got somewhere, some direction to run to
And I don't care how much this hurts
I'm prepared for the worst
And I've got my friends to back me up
I'm really not scared
I'll get back to you
Is this what you want?
What you wanted to see?
Is my pain not enough for your agony?
We've all got secrets
We can't keep them all
They run, they hide
Leaving you and me behind to find more
This is what they've been waiting for
This is our chance
Come with me
Wake up

matchbook romance - hollywood and vine

The sky looks like patchwork
Stitched just enough so the sky won't fall on top of us
It's Alright
The city was covered in gold
And made out of dreams
Everything we wanted was within our reach tonight
And we stood
Tip-toed, eyes-glued at the scene and the realization that

Everything was so clear, and plain to see
This is where I belong you can't take me
I was fooling myself all along
I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back
I'm home

And we drove, what felt like forever
down this street and stopped at the edge of the earth
It looks beautiful from here
This is a place we dreamed of
A place made up in our heads, we thought we'd never see
But here I am
Eyes blinded by painted smiles
We lived a lifetime that night

Everything was so clear, and plain to see
This is where I belong you can't take me
I was fooling myself all along
I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back
I'm home
I'm home

I'm home

Everything was so clear, and plain to see
This is where I belong you can't take me
I was fooling myself all along
I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back

Everything was so clear, and plain to see
This is where I belong you can't take me
I was fooling myself all along
I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back
I'm home

What did I expect?
You're no good at lying and I'm no good at comebacks.
You're so untouchable.

I'm terrible at this, you know.

And you'll use every one of them against me.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
Tell all your friends about me.
Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.

I hope you choke on every word you spoke when you were screaming at me.

Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me.
Tell all your friends about me.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
