Playlist Mayday Parade

mayday parade - 12 through 15

Hey, the walls keep coming down but I'll stand brave
Love is just an empty word to say
I found loyalty and it was pain
And you hate that God keeps coming down
'Cause you're afraid
Lucifer just might be your middle name
And you're the only angel that got away

And we're all alone now
With nothing to stand in our way
Don't swear that it's over if love is our secret
I know you won't keep it

We're taking this easy
Cause darling, that's what dreams are made of
This story is probably made up
So why don't you go back to sleep?

Hey, my walls keep tumbling down but I'll stand brave
Maybe I'm the one who's in your way
I'm the only reason love got away (love got away)

And we're all alone now (Yeah I'll be alright)
With nothing to stand in our way (Hell I'll be just fine)
(with you by my side, don't leave me guessing)
Don't swear that it's over, if love is our secret
I know you won't keep it

We're taking this easy
Cause darling that's what dreams are made of
This story is probably made up
So why don't you go back to sleep? (Just like we never did)
Why don't you dream about me? (Just like we wanted to)
Cause I'm the reason you're alone now
You're blaming everything on your hometown
Why would you say that?

Oh, oh, oh
I think you're better off when you're on your own
You say to keep me close
Cause I'm the closest thing that you've ever known
You said the problem's in your heart
But the problem's who you are
So leave me alone now
I'd rather be lonely when I scream and shout and let it out

We're taking this easy
Cause darling that's what dreams are made of
This story is probably made up
So why don't you go back to sleep? (Just like we never did)
Why don't you dream about me? (Just like we wanted to)
Cause I'm the reason you're all alone now
Quit blaming everything on your hometown
Why would you say that?

mayday parade - all on me

I'm homesick
I've got a lot on my mind
I'm pathetic
I never know when I'm right
I'm rock bottom
I'll paint a smile for now
I've got a feeling your the reason
I will let you down, down, down

I'm lonesome
I'll send a photo for that
I'm on fire
Your the flame in my head
That I can't put out

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the first one
To fall apart on my own
Don't act like I'm the first
Why don't you stand in line?
You watch me do it again

[Chorus]
I'm blaming everything that's happening
All on me, all on me
And who will be the first to finally see
And save me, save me?
We're all liars and let truth be told
I'm lost and so afraid

And I won't come down
Your the song in my head that I can't get out

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the first one
To fall apart on my own
Don't act like I'm the first
Why don't you stand in line?
You watch me do it again

[Chorus 2]
I'm blaming everything that's happening
All on me, all on me
And who will be the first to finally see
And save me, save me?
We're all liars and let truth be told
I'm lost and so afraid
To tell you everything that's happening
So blame me, blame me

Maybe I'm the first one [x2]
Why don't you stand in line and watch me do it again?

[Chorus 2]
I'm blaming everything that's happening
All on me, all on me
And who will be the first to finally see
And save me, save me?
We're all liars and let truth be told
I'm lost and so afraid
To tell you everything that's happening
So blame me, blame me

(I'm blaming everything that's happening all on me, all on me)
I'm lost and so afraid of what's to come
(And who will be the first to finally see, and save me, save me?)
I'm lost and so afraid of what's to come

mayday parade - a shot across the bow

It's time I said this but I'm so choked up
And I need my sanity
I'm scared, believe me
You can see me smile
If you let me just stick around

Well this is bye, bye baby
It ended like a sudden stop on a freight train
If you're not happy and you hurt this much
Then let me just stick around

But can I have one second of your time
Cause if I don't it'll drive me crazy
As I drop to my knees
And scream I hate you more than you could know

I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless swimming around
As the waves crash over you until you drown and float away

We'll hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

Now it's back to reality
I'm left in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
I knew the wedding bells were ringing loud but my bride was missing

No, it's not supposed to hurt this much
But when someone slowly breaks it off
It tends to leave a bitter taste
A scar, that slowly rips apart

Can I have one second of your time
Cause if I don't it'll drive me crazy
As I drop to my knees
And scream I hate you more than you could know

I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless swimming around
As the waves crash over you until you drown and float away

We'll hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Underground

I've had enough but it's all for the best
I need to get a few things off my chest
There's got to be another way I can say it
But to get it right, I have to think straight

I hope he tasted like the way I used to taste
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now
When you won't listen at all

I hope you fall into the ocean
And the current leaves you helpless swimming around
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown

We're hold a funeral for nothing
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

mayday parade - angels

Three years of something I call love
When the phone calls and photographs are never enough
To save a heart that?s been broken so close to screaming
This can?t be happening, I must be dreaming
What?s the worst that could happen? I never knew
When all I ever wanted was to get away from you
But now the possible?s impossible and I can?t refuse
Grab all your dreams and raise all your glasses

Let?s toast to the lucky ones
To the girl that just broke my heart
I can?t breathe after all that you?ve told me
You took my heart and made me melt again

I could never imagine we?d end up this way
After all that we went through now I?m biting through the pain
It?s like this heart that?s been broken so close to screaming
Was ripped from my chest and I can?t stop the bleeding

Now we all fall for the bad ones
They?ll just break us cause we?re so young, dumb, and vulnerable
Young and vulnerable

Here?s a toast to the lucky ones
To the girl that just broke my heart
I can?t breathe after all that you?ve told me
You took my heart and made me melt again

(You ripped apart these pages)
I can?t breathe
(Our love was overrated)
After all that you?ve told me
(This breaks up all these questions to me what just happened)
You took my heart and made melt again
(I?ll say)

I put your picture in a frame to stand at the side of my bed
So whenever I get sad I can stare at your face
Not overplayed that I won?t forget
When all I remember is talking is cheap and you?re eyes were expensive
And god only knows when I?ll come to my senses
Now I can?t breathe at all (now I can?t breathe at all)

Here?s a toast to the lucky ones
To the girl that just broke my heart
(You ripped apart these pages)
I can?t breathe
(Our love was overrated)
After all that you?ve told me
(This breaks up all these questions tell me what happened)
You took my heart and made melt again
(I?ll say)

(You ripped apart these pages)
I can?t breathe
(Our love was overrated)
After all that you?ve told me
(This breaks up all these questions tell me what happened)
You took my heart and made melt again
(I?ll say)
Tell me what just happened

mayday parade - anywhere but here

Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall

Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
She held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
Its burning to the ground

Now I'm crying out

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
These words can cut right through
Cause all along I've knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet

But now I won't forget

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

When we're together
Thoughts of her disapear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

mayday parade - black cat

Close up camera one
the hero sings in this scene
the boy that gets the girl gets to go home where they get married
but stop the tape,
the sunset still looks fake to me
the hero looks like he can't breathe
the damsel just left everything

you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
and you're gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa
you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
and you're gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa

oh close up camera two
cause the hero dies in this scene
your inspiration is the loss of absolutely everything
and flashback on the girl
as we montage every memory
and we bleed out in the bathroom sink
and we fade out as the soundtrack sings:

you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
Black Cat Lyrics
and you?re gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa
you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
and you?re gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa

she said get your hands off of my star
it's not your part but all your fault
and this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic
get your hands off of my star
it's not your part but all your fault
and this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic

and this jealous actress has a habit
of making things sound way too tragic
oh this jealous actress has a habit
of making things sound way too tragic.

you?re like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
you?re gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa

you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
and you?re gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa
you're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
and you?re gonna burn the city down right now
whoa whoa-ahh

and this jealous actress has a habit

mayday parade - bruised and scarred

It all goes back to the first kiss
It was the one I though I'd never miss
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones
Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough

This was supposed to be the easy part
But breaking down is what I found hard
Now I'm wearing the smile that I dont believe in
Inside I feel like screaming

She gave me every reason to believe but found the one
But my doubt somehow then sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid or just a kiss away

I'm finding out in the hardest way
The consequence of every mistake I've ever made
Baby what's it like to be in love
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

She gave me every reason to believe but found the one
But my doubt somehow then sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid or just a kiss away

So baby be honest, is this what you wanted?
We lost where we started
And found out much more then we wanna know
About how we're letting go
So baby be honest, is this what you wanted?
We lost where we started
And found out much more then we wanna know

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid or just a kiss away

mayday parade - california song

She said Sing me a lullaby so sweet,
That the lights would stay away from me
Because my eyes see things they shouldn't see
Help me
So I started to tremble out a verse
But my words weren't lining up with her
But then the way that she hurt was even worse
Than without me

So I got high
And I lost faith in a melody
Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,
And then I cried
Cause I'm missing you and missing Florida
It's a long way back from California.

And as the sun fell dark behind the sea,
I felt her eyes steal another look at me,
She said I'm looking for things I'll never see."
Release to me
And how'd this summer air just get so cold?
And how'd this quiet girl just get so bold?
And how can she be something I can't hold?
Tell me

So I got high
And I lost faith in a melody
Written for a girl when I had nothing left to hide,
And then I cried
because I'm missing you and missing Florida
It's a long way back from California.

California

Because I'm missing you, and missing Florida,
It's a long way back from California
A long way back from California

mayday parade - call me hopeless but not romantic

I can't believe that so much time was spent on my own
Just tryin' to figure it out all alone
Don't show emotion, let this go

I can pretend that everything is still okay
Until you rightfully say what you said
The night you left me here for dead

Why do you cry when you're falling asleep
And girl, how can you love without you ever losing it all
Don't put your faith in this, when you won't believe it

Where did you go
How will you find yourself, when your hand to hold is letting go
Where did you go
How will you tell yourself, you're losing hope, losing hope

Is it just me or has the time we spent come undone
I know forever is not what you want
I'll pack my bags and brush it off, brush it off

Why do you cry when you're falling asleep
And girl, how can you love without ever losing it all
Don't put your faith in this, when you won't believe it

Where did you go
How will you find yourself, when your hand to hold is letting go
Where did you go
How will you tell yourself, you're losing hope

Tell me that you're alright
Yeah, like i really care
Why do we fight sometimes
Just like we always do
Try and make up your mind
I'll make it up for you
Try and make up your mind
Your, mind, your mind

Where did you go
How will you find yourself, when your hand to hold is letting go
Where did you go
How will you tell yourself, you're losing hope, you're losing hope (2X)

mayday parade - center of attention

Jennifer, the party's over
I didn't think you'd make it through the night
Everybody's gone but your alright

Sweety, Now Obviously
You know its not obvious to me
Why Its not plain enough to see

Your falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress
It makes me crazy
I'm not the only one

It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
and save it for somebody who cares
somebody who cares

Jennifer the weekends over
But at least you made it through it's style
It all runs together after a while

Tell me baby is your heart to in it
Do you remember what you did
But where we've been

Your falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress
It makes me crazy
I'm not the only one

It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
and save it for somebody who cares

You don't have to walk alone tonight
I don't have to be a gentleman
You don't have to say a single word
or make believe that we could be just friends

Your falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress
It makes me crazy
I'm not the only one

It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
and save it for somebody who cares
somebody who cares
somebody who cares!

mayday parade - champagne s for celebrating

She left her books, her car, her clothes, and a note
But all she wrote was, "Tonight I'm leaving on a train."
She says she's headed west
To make it right for one more night
And, well, I don't blame her if she is
But he thinks it's just one more sunset
And after all, it's her fault
If she hasn't caught on yet
So why'd you have to go?
Is there something I could say to make you turn around?
Cause nights like these I wish I'd said don't go
Is there anybody there?
Can anybody help to get me out of here?
Cause you're walking down a road that I can't go
She says she's headed west
To make it right for one more night
And, well, I don't blame her if she is
But he thinks it's just one more sunset
And after all, it's her fault
If she hasn't caught on yet
So why'd you have to go?
Is there something I could say to make you turn around?
Cause nights like these I wish I'd said don't go
Is there anybody there?
Can anybody help to get me out of here?
Cause you're walking down a road that I can't go
? as a martyr
Just can't handle this
I lost myself inside a drunken kiss
And I, all that I wanted was to walk you home
Save a sad song for the sing-along
Oh my God, I just can't handle this
I lost myself inside a drunken kiss
And I, all that I wanted was to walk you home
Save a sad song for the sing-along
And she thinks she'll be my tourniquet
As the record on my stereo
Plays her favorite song for two whole days
And the drag stretched out for miles and miles
And what she'd give for one more smile
And how she hoped he missed her
Cause, God, she missed how he would kiss her
So why'd you have to go?
Is there something I could say to make you turn around?
Cause nights like these I wish I'd said don't go
Is there anybody there?
Can anybody help to get me out of here?
Cause you're walking down a road that I can't go
So why'd you have to go?
Is there something I could say to make you turn around?
Cause nights like these I wish I'd said don't go
Is there anybody there?
Can anybody help to get me out of here?
Cause you're walking down a road that I can't go
Yeah, you're walking down a road that I can't go
Yeah, you're walking down a road that I can't

mayday parade - everything s an illusion

I try to sleep but my eyes are open
I can't think cause my heart is broken
And there's a bottle right next to me
I'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away
I wanna say all the things i need to say
I won't lie, i'll just tell them honestly
If god can take a friend away from me
Then i can say all i want and he won't do anything
My tongue is weak and every time i try to speak i can't say nothing at all

Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again
Just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side

I spend hours tryna make it through the day
I don't know if i'll ever be the same
It's hard enough when you're all alone
In the city that you love, now atlanta's just a burial ground
My tongue is weak and every time i try to speak i can't say nothing,
Nothing at all
It's hard to think when losing someone only make you wanna scream
And now that you're gone

Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again
Just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side

All the stained pieces, i can't believe this
A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four
(please don't know this is for the hopeless,
It's ripping me apart and i can't take it anymore)
I will hold my tongue for the rest of my life
I can't keep this up anymore

Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again
Just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side

By my side (3x)

Sleep well, goodnight
You're something i'll remember
I wish that you were here by my side

mayday parade - get up

This place is not quite what it seems
Or anything that I was told it'd be
New York you know you make my heart skip
In my dreams I make it into Vegas

Seattle hits me every time
I can't get Chicago off my mind
New Jersey taught me how to let go
And I've learned that's all that I need to know

In this moment
we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast
west coast
show me what you've got now
let's go, Lets go
Make my heartbeat pickup (Get up, Get up)
beating to the rhythm (Get up, Get up)

I spill my heart from coast to coast
Fall in love with everyone I know
Sometimes it isn't where you're going
it's who you're with

In this moment
we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

[X5]
Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast
west coast
show me what you've got now
let's go, Lets go
Make my heartbeat pickup (Get up, Get up)
beating to the rhythm (Get up, Get up)

mayday parade - happy endings are stories that haven t ended

Keep me dizzy, spinning circles around my head
Believe me that it's worth the rush,
Til we collide, with heavy hearts and open minds
I'm all by myself, don't leave me hanging
Shakin' like I've caught on fire
We all get stuck in funny ways sometimes
You and every friend of mine

We'll find a way, to run away, tonight

You could be my compass
Teach me how to read these broken lines
Hold me like a lover
We'll find a way, to run away, tonight

Tell me when it's over,
Promise that you'll always keep me in mind
Burning like a soldier,
I'll find my way to you and save the day

You could be my compass
Teach me how to read these broken lines
Hold me like a lover
(and never let me go)
We'll find a way, to run away, tonight

Tell me when it's over,
(tell me when it's over)
Promise that you'll always keep me in mind
Burning like a soldier,
I'll find my way to you and save the day

mayday parade - i swear this time i mean it

Florida please be still tonight.
Don't disturb this love of mine.
But how she's oh so mean,
You've got to help me out.
Count the stars before the rise.
And find the words for saving time.
I want to keep her dreaming,
It's my one wish, I won't forget this.

I'm out-dated, overrated,
Morning seems so far away.
So I'll sing the melody.
And hope to god she's listening,
Sleeping softly while I sing,
And I'll be in your memories.
A lullaby for all the times.
Hoping that my voice could get it right.

If luck is on my side tonight,
My clumsy tongue will make it right.
That wispy touch, it isn't much,
But it's enough.
To form imaginary lines.
Forget your scars and forget mine.
The hours change so fast.
Oh god, please make this last.

Cause I'm out-dated, overrated,
Morning seems so far away.
So I'll sing the melody.
And hope to god she's listening,
Sleeping softly while I sing,
And I'll be in your memories.
A lullaby for all the times.
Hoping that my voice could get it right.

You could crush me, but please don't crush me.
Cause baby I'm a dreamer.
For sure and I won't let you down,
I swear this time I mean it.

And I'll sing the melody.
And hope to god she's listening,
Sleeping softly while I sing,
And I'll be in your memories.
A lullaby for all the times.
Hoping that my voice could get it right.
