bad suns - 20 years

Stumble through a hallway
Staying up for three days
Sitting in a walkway
Parking in driveways you can't
Focus is a virtue
Know what you're alert to
Every day is progress
Every day feels just the same

She looked around, "how did I get here?"
Twenty years goes by so fast, how did I get here?

Doesn't even like cake
Lamenting on her birthday
To bet in a parlay
Dreaming when her eyes aren't shut
Looking in the mirror
Smiling out of fear
Nothing really matters
These eyes have so much to see

She looked around, "how did I get here?"
Twenty years goes by so fast, how did I get here?
The home I know, how do I get there?
Twenty years, if that's what it takes, I know I'll be there

Stumble through a hallway
Staying up for three
Days
Sitting in a walkway
Parking in driveways you can't
Focus is a virtue
Know what you're alert to
Every day is progress, but every day feels just the same

She looked around, "how did I get here?"
Twenty years goes by so fast, how did I get here?
The home I know, how do I get there?
Twenty years, if that's what it takes, I know I'll be there

bad suns - daft pretty boys

She's a sunrise dressed like dusk
Going out, she's getting into something

He's a moth drawn to a flame
He's going in, he's going all or nothing

They look so pretty from afar

Like the gates of heaven are open now
And my one true love has just waltz'd right out
Yeah, there's one thing about me that you should know
That's I can't help from speaking my mind

She says

?There's a dangerous kind of cool about you?
But she didn't, no she didn't know nothing
Now she swims right past his eyes
Where she didn't, no she didn't find nothing

You look so pretty from afar

Like the gates of heaven are open now
And my one true love has just waltz'd right out
Yeah, there's one thing about me that you should know
That's I can't help from speaking my mind

Girl, you waste your time on daft pretty boys
With all the time in the world for chasing pretty girls
Yeah you waste your time on daft pretty boys
I've got no time to waste on another pretty face

I've got no time to waste on another pretty face

There's one thing about me that you should know
That's I can't help from speaking my mind

I don?t like you
You look so pretty from afar
I despise you
Why are you so fucking perfect on the outside?

She's a sunrise dressed like dusk
Going out, she's getting into something
He's going all or nothing
I'm saying

Girl, you waste your time on daft pretty boys
With all the time in the world for chasing pretty girls
Yeah you waste your time on daft pretty boys
I've got no time to waste on another pretty face

I've got no time to waste on another pretty face

bad suns - dancing on quicksand

I lose myself in a moment
Can't find my way out for days
I'll come to you on my hands and knees
On my hands and knees

I ran out of luck, when I fucked up
And nothing's gonna change that, whoa oh
And when it's too much, you thought
Time was supposed to make this right again
Woo ooh, woo ooh, dancing on quicksand (x2)

I run to the elevator
You see me, but let the door shut
Don't be upset, it's not hard to laugh
I love you when you're mad

I ran out of luck, when I fucked up
And nothing's gonna change that, whoa oh
And when it's too much, you thought
Time was supposed to make this right again
Woo ooh, woo ooh, dancing on quicksand (x4)

I think I'm coming around, oh yeah

I ran out of luck, when I fucked up
And nothing's gonna change that, whoa oh
And when it's too much, you thought
Time was supposed to make this right again
Woo ooh, woo ooh, dancing on quicksand (x4)

bad suns - defeated

Oh, can you hear me
Do the words I scream mean anything?
But no, I can't hear a thing
Maybe it's best I give up

I don't want to be all alone and defeated
It pains me to speak these words
But I mean it

Lashing out regrettably
I mean no harm, what have I become?
I know I'm wrong
But when you tell me
Things get worse and I want to change

I don't want to be
All alone and defeated
Who can I be, besides me
Because I hate it
I don't want to be
Left alone, uncompleted
I don't want to be
All alone and defeated

Oh, can you hear me
Do the words I scream mean anything?
But no, I can't hear a thing
Maybe it's best I give up

I don't want to be
All alone and defeated
Who can I be, besides me
Because I hate it
I don't want to be
Left alone, uncompleted
I don't want to be
All alone and defeated
?
I don't want to be
All alone and defeated
Who can I be, besides me
Because I hate it
It's not your fault
And I know I've been conceited
I don't wanna be all alone and defeated

bad suns - disappear here

I really thought you'd be home by now
I guess I was wrong again
I used to think I could go somewhere
It turns out I'm ill prepared

I kiss the bend of the canyon road
Where I find your ghost again
Here, you found the sky
Through the moon roof, topless
You were so happy then

I'm right, I'm wrong
I'm everything but sure
My blazing head, my freezing heart
Your five words walk out the door

Would you run after me?
I feel I've stood here once before
Would you run after me?
Would you run, or do we
Disappear Here

Now you say
"I see your face, every turn I make
I find no comfort there"
I add
"I hear your voice with every mistake
It's like you're always here"

I'm right, I'm wrong
I'm everything but sure
So we fight
Until dawn
When five words walk out the door

Would you run after me?
I feel I've stood here once before
Would you run after me?
Would you run, or do we
Disappear Here

Go, go
No, stay
No, Go, go
No, stay
No, Go, go
No, stay
No, Go, go, go

Would you run after me?
I feel I've stood here once before
Would you run after me?

Disappear Here

bad suns - even in my dreams i can 039 t win

I fall asleep in the arms of July
Under the blanket of the night
This new light fills the sky
I don't recognize the pigment

My bed is spun by web
Cool breeze of night air
A silky nightmare
Fly by, the night
Day light, it wakes me
Erase my memory

I lend a hand, it breaks
I see their heads shaking
Deja vu, Return to blue

Find every way to make
A crucial mistake and
Deja vu, return to blue

Even in my dreams, I can't win
Even in my dreams, I can't win

I feel as though I've lost touch
With the person who I once was as a child
Now the smoke helps to show me
My perfect, faded memories

My bed is cherry red
I found your love here
Naive and sincere
Fly by, the night
Day light, it wakes me
Erase my memory

I lend a hand, it breaks
I see their heads shaking
Deja vu, Return to blue

Find every way to make
A crucial mistake and
Deja vu, return to blue

Even in my dreams, I can't win
Even in my dreams, I can't win

Have you ever felt that thing?
It's like a thunder within
Have you ever had that dream
Where you couldn't swim?
The lightning, it strikes
In the darkness of night
I'm out in the middle of the sea
Suddenly I'm awake
But I'm still in that scene
In a storm lost at sea

My bed is sewn by thread
I found your love here
Naive and sincere
Fly by, my life
Daylight escapes me
It's just a memory

I lend a hand, it breaks
I see their heads shaking
Deja vu, Return to blue

Find every way to make
A crucial mistake and
Deja vu, return to blue

Even in my dreams, I can't win
Even in my dreams, I can't win

bad suns - heartbreaker

Pour champagne this evening
To celebrate you leaving
I'm as blissful as can be
The telephone is tempting me

I can't let you go
Separation brings us awfully close
Heartbreaker
I should probably go
Tell me something I don?t already know

Your love is taxing
My heart collapsing
I'm relapsing tonight
Heartbreaker

Here she comes to greet me
Lips bathed in blood of a strawberry
Shake desire off my bones
I'm just here to grab my clothes

Her plans fell through this evening
Plan B, that?s not beneath me
Doesn't like wine, she loves shooting liquor
I taste a mistake, It's getting me drunk quicker

I can't let you go
Separation brings us awfully close
Heartbreaker
I should probably go
Tell me something I don't already know

Your love is taxing
My heart collapsing
I'm relapsing tonight
Heartbreaker

bad suns - how am i not myself

Kissed by death
Struck by life
What did you find?
In search of peace
Together, we unwind

It's pleasant but unkind
My hourglass of wine

Round and around
I?m spinning round
And you come around
And round we go

How am I not myself?

I had that thought again
The prison in my mind
Is simply that
A prison I've designed

It's pleasant but unkind
My hourglass of wine

Round and around
I?m spinning round
And you come around
And round we go

How am I not myself?

I?m awake, I?ll figure it out

bad suns - learn to trust

Can I hold it down? Have I been trying my best?
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed, oh
I've been ticking more than time, a selfish man
You're a casualty I can't forget so come on and let me go

A heart glows in the night, in the day hearts turn to dust
Say it and mean it, so this heart learns to trust

Can I change my ways? Can I confront the past?
Eternal questions always asking, failing the test, oh
I've been ticking more than time, a selfish man
You're a casualty I can't forget so come on and let me go

A heart glows in the night, in the day hearts turn to dust
Say it and mean it, so this heart learns to trust
And the truth it makes no sense, my senses don't ring true
I'm feeling the pressure distorting you

Tell me we're both done, why should I listen?
Tell me we're both done, the words all go missing

Hold it down, have I been trying my best?
Eternal questions always asking, feeling distressed, oh
So come on and let me know

A heart glows in the night, in the day hearts turn to dust
Say it and mean it, so this heart learns to trust
A heart glows in the night, in the day hearts turn to dust
Say it and mean it, so this heart learns to trust

bad suns - love like revenge

I swallow all my fear, it's clear to me
There's no good in lies I want to believe

I know you know
How bad we both need this
Trust me, we can put the past behind us
Meet me at the place where love once found us
But no

You wear your love like revenge
You wear your love like revenge

Swallow all your fear and try to see
There's no good in lies you want to believe

Am I happy?
No, I'm just distracted
Fill me with hope
And my hope collapses
Dizzy and afraid to fall asleep
I wait in silence

I know you know
How bad we both need this
Trust me, we can put the past behind us
Meet me at the place where love once found us
But no

You wear your love like revenge
You wear your love like revenge

Am I happy?
No, I'm just distracted
Fill me with hope
and my hope collapses
Dizzy and afraid to fall asleep
I wait in silence

I know you know
How bad we both need this
Trust me, we can put the past behind us
Meet me at the place where love once found us
Things can change there
I know you know
How bad we both need this
Trust me, we can put the past behind us
Meet me at the place where love once found us
But no

You wear your love like revenge
You wear your love like revenge

bad suns - matthew james

Hungry for a meaning, this all seems unclear
I come to the conclusion we're all clueless here
The more I try and simplify I realize it passes by
I find myself enamored with an explanation that doesn't exist, no

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (x4)

What's the point in counting when it never ends?
Face yourself at night, it's time to make amends
The TV's on, it helps me sleep
The force of habit killing me
The kiss goodnight, a stale routine
The spark is gone, what's wrong with me?

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (x4)

Language and perspective shape the way we live
Some things are hard to take and even harder to give
Lost circling a moment deep inside my head
I won't get this moment back, I'll move instead

This place just ain't the same without you
Out with the old, in with the new
I think you know this pressure
Welcome to a depression that I'll learn was never true

The more I try and simplify I realize it passes by
I find myself enamored with an answer that does not exist

The more I try and simplify (x2)
I realize it passes by (x2)
I find myself enamored with an answer that does not exist

The more I try and simplify I realize it passes by
I find myself enamored with an answer that does not exist

bad suns - maybe we 039 re meant to be alone

I've got a picture perfect plan
But I can't go in alone
Are we whole, or just two halves
Reaching out to the unknown?

No, I can't help my ways
It don't make much sense to me
On these cold and rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone

I've got a voice inside my head
And a feeling in my gut
I don't know just who to believe
When you're torn in two
Who can you trust?

No, I can't help my ways
It don't make much sense to me
On these cold and rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone

Maybe we?re meant to be alone

And then I met you
I want to love you so bad
But I don't know if I'll let myself
You came here for somebody else
And now I'm trying hard to heal
Sometimes I fantasize about faking my own death
Just to see how it would make you feel

No I can't help my ways
It don't make much sense to me
On these cold and rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone

So what's wrong with my ways?
Why can't it make sense to me?
I'm sick of these rainy days
Maybe we're meant to be alone

Maybe we're meant to be alone

bad suns - off she goes

Where, where do you go
When the light leaves your eyes
When you're just out of reach
Like a tree-bound kite

What's on your mind
As you're staring behind
and I'm on my own in your arms tonight

Off she goes

Where, where do you go
When the tears leave your eyes
When you feel that burn
I know words can't describe

Where do you go
Remember when you told me
Remember when you told me

When you can't believe in yourself
All you hear is anyone else
If you just believe in yourself
We can tune out everyone else

That's all right

Feel the earth underneath
Snatch a star, you can reach
Feel the earth leave your feet
We can glide, don't need streets

When you can't believe in yourself
All you hear is anyone else
If you just believe in yourself
We can tune out everyone else

That's all right

Off she goes

bad suns - outskirts of paradise

Roll down the window now
I?ve lost my way within this town
The tranquil glow of a song I know
It guides me

I?m stuck in strip mall times
A mood swings under a porcelain sky
Would you be my friend
Would you be my friend for now

I?m on the outskirts of paradise
Chasing desire through the night
Picturing ways to take flight
When the time comes

When the time comes
Separate yourself
Integrate yourself

Awestruck or asinine
An ephemeral sense of space and time
A familiar face, a pulse that escalates

I?m stuck in strip mall times
I don?t mean to be impolite
Would you be my friend
Would you be my friend for now
For just a little bit, yeah

I?m on the outskirts of paradise
Chasing desire through the night
Picturing ways to take flight
When the time comes

When the time comes
Separate yourself, integrate yourself

When the time comes
Separate yourself, integrate yourself

bad suns - patience

I'm approaching a breakthrough
I'm happy now
I've been wrapped up in different lies
I've been wrapped up, I've been untied

One more try for the top of the mountain
Close your eyes
Be patient, it's coming

All my dreams
Have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead

I've been writing my thoughts down
to clear my mind
to try and figure out my brain
to confront and set aside my pain

I've been searching for meaning
in a blood red field
of wasted dreams
and wasted breath
baby, wasted dreams, that's worse than death

One more try for the top of the mountain
Give me one more sigh
to the top of the mountain
Baby, roll those eyes
to the top of the mountain
Close your eyes
Be patient, it's coming

All my dreams
Have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead

All my dreams
Have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead

I can live my life instead

I've been writing my thoughts down
to clear my mind
to try and figure out my brain
to confront and set aside my pain

I'm approaching a breakthrough
I'm happy now
though, satisfaction comes and goes
while the saddest facts
They cling like shadows

One more try for the top of the mountain
Give me one more sigh
to the top of the mountain
Baby, roll those eyes
to the top of the mountain
Close your eyes
Be patient, it's coming

All my dreams
Have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead

All my dreams
Have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead

I can live my life instead
