Burning Heart lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(live version)
Look, maybe I'll start
I mean you can if you want to, but if you won't
I can start 'cause I've been thinking over
Every single thing
I might've ever said and done
And there are just so many things
I wish I hadn't said and done
And I feel heavy
Now that things are said and done
I just feel heavy
'Cause I'm carrying around all of this with me
And if I never make a sound
It might just kill me
I been swallowing it down for such a long time
Yeah, I've been sittin' with this now for quite a long time
And the problem isn't yours, it's really all mine
And what I really wanna tell you is that sometimes
Not every single time, but probably most times
I wish all that fault was yours but it was all mine
And since we're being honest for the first time
In a long time
I see you everywhere I go
And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
Now here's the worst part
I guess I'll never know for sure what made us go wrong
I can tell 'cause I've been searching
For some broken, missing piece
But it's not any single thing
It's just a million little pinpricks
And their million little stings
That almost broke us
But I don't think we have to let that break us
And that's hard for you and me
But you know, so what?
Who got anywhere by leaving every door shut?
I'm just asking if you feel the way I'm feeling?
Like this hurt that I'm afraid just might start healing
That I don't wanna lose 'cause it's the one thing
That I really wanna feel and maybe sometimes
Not every single time, but probably most times
I know every fault of ours and I can own mine
And since we're being open for the first time
In a long time
I see you everywhere I go
And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
I see you everywhere I go
And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
Everyone Else Is Just Noise lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Did you hear the news?
They're tearing our building down
Making way for the future
They don't want no relics around
And it makes me think
Can I treasure the memories?
Can I keep moving forward
With all of that mess inside me?
'Cause they move all the pieces when my eyes are closed
As if they could keep me from you
As if they could keep me from home
Beyond the reaches of your softest voice
Where everything else is distraction
And everyone else is just noise
Everything else is distraction
Everyone else is just noise
I am not immune
I've been burned and been beaten down
I'm trying to learn how to live with
What I'm faced with living without
I wish I could, but I can't
Please everyone all of the time
Hurt less and be loved more
And simply feel settled inside
But they move all the pieces when my eyes are closed
And everything feels out of order
And suddenly I am alone
Beyond the reaches of your loudest voice
Where everything else is distraction
And everyone else is just noise
Everything else is distraction
And everyone else is just noise
I'm starting to live without doubting
I'm learning to like who I am
I'm trying to let go a little
I'm starting to think that I can
I know all the pieces when my eyes are closed
Trusting that I'm in the right place
And knowing that I'm not alone
Within the reaches of your softest voice
Where everything else is distraction
And everyone else is just noise
Everything else is distraction
Everyone else is just noise
Here's To Moving On lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I feel like I find something new
To remind me of you all the time
A picture, a hair band, a song
Or this cork from this bottle of wine
The click of the thermostat
Kicking off just when it's getting too warm
The drop in the pressure, the smell in the air
When it's starting to storm
And I hate to admit
That it's true
But I like that it hurts
When I do
Here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on
I stand in one place and just listen
And let myself feel how it sounds
A little bit hollow, a little bit hopeful
A little bit down
This house isn't empty exactly
It's settling down for the night
It's creaking and cracking
And it seems familiar, but doesn't feel right
All that time that it takes to let go
How could I be the last one to know?
Here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on
I'm getting up slowly, I'm still a bit spent
I'm still a bit tired
I feel a bit better this morning
Than I've felt in quite a long time
It's funny, I thought for a bit there
I'd never be able to deal
But I make some coffee
And I'll take a shower
And I start to heal
And I hate to admit that I can
But I like how it feels that I am
So here's to fighting less
Here's to living more
Here's to feeling alive again
Here's to picking yourself off the floor
Here's to waking up
Here's to sleeping well for once
Here's to knowing the things that you wish you could change
Here's to saying you're fine when you're not
Here's to being right
Here's to being wrong
Here's to letting go
Here's to moving on
The Better Of Me lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
We went back to the shore
For the crash of the waves
I love that sound and the curious comfort we found in each other
Just like we did back in the day
And the crackling clouds
Of a storm out at sea
And you broke me down just by leaning a little bit closer to me
And yet still somehow leaning away
Well, nobody told me
Just how badly I'd grieve
That I'd dig through my past
That I'd keep looking back
To find out who I wanted to be
Have I forgotten
How I let myself feel?
How the slightest inflections
Were like cuts that don't heal?
And don't be mistaken
That was true, I believe
I was something, I swear it
Before life got the better of me
I think I know how you felt
I didn't know how to leave
But looking back, it was easy to think you'd be better off
But I shouldn't have left you that way
Without saying it right
Or even saying it wrong
I just moved on, ripped you out of my chest
And I picked up and left
And just like a ghost, I was gone
Well, nobody told me
Come on, kid, take your time
Don't go rushing too fast
'Cause if you lose your path
It's gonna be so hard to find
Have I forgotten
How let myself feel?
How the slightest inflections
Were like cuts that don't heal?
And don't be mistaken
That was true, I believe
I was something, I swear it
Before life got the better of me
Life is hard
Just a series of battle scars
From some fights we won
And some fights we lost
In a war that we never signed on for
We keep holding our heads high
Or hold each other and just cry
And nobody's wrong
And no lines are drawn
And everyone's here
And nobody's gone
I was something, I swear it
Before life got the better
Before life got the better
Before life got the better of me
Southbound And Sinking lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Southbound and sinking down on 95
I was looking for a way to keep my hopes alive
I needed something big to keep me on your mind
So I painted our names up on the exit sign
No expectations are too big to disappoint
I give you everything I got until I got no voice
I don't need another friend, I got enough in this joint
No denying I'm trying, that's my whole damn point
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
They say you'll never get nowhere if ya never just start
Put my pen down to paper and I tore myself apart
Took a real good beating but I worked it hard
Who says you never get nowhere on a broken heart?
Look at me letting all my feelings show
Look, I'll tell you anything you want to know
Are you winding me up just to let me go?
Or are you letting things happen very, very, very slow?
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
I'm not great at waiting but I'll do what I must
And I'm trying to be patient but it's getting pretty rough
I don't think that there's a man for you that's special enough
But I'll be the one standing in the settling dust
No reservations, nothing holding me back
Betting everything I've got but my cards aren't stacked
No more playing it cool, let's get down to brass tacks
I want to give you everything I'm ever gonna have
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion that you're gonna fall for
Me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Sleep In lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
We woke around three A.M.
Got up and we got dressed again
I said, "I'd like to walk you home
And stop for coffee"
And we set about
Collecting up your scattered things
Your coat, your hat
Your scarf and rings
Two books, your sisters necklace and the key
That I'd had made for you
Down at the hardware store
As a gift, that I'd given you for
No particular occasion
Nothing special, just a gesture
Of my feelings and we wound on down
The creaking stairs were very loud
And you dragged your outstretched fingers
Down the walls and all the windows
And I went first and held the door
It was colder that night than the nights before
The kind of cold that steals your breath
Before you expect it
And you took my gloveless hand in yours
One pocket shared to keep both warm
And with your other hand, you pinched your coat tight at the collar
And I thought it's too cold by far to snow
The sidewalk wasn't salted though
And we slipped somewhere
The ice took hold in intermittent patches
And so we made our careful way
Across the park to twenty eighth
And into Rosa's Diner
Where they kept old coffee hot
And the sign in front said, "Seat Yourself"
And so we went and sat ourselves
And you chose the biggest booth
Because you said, "We are a party"
And a lonely light was flickering
Something off in the wiring
So it worked just like a broken thing
Trying hard not to be broken
And you said to me, "Remember this"
And so I still remember it
And though you didn't say why
I believed you had a reason
And I'm thinking 'bout that now
As I'm grinding up our coffee grounds
In the bright kitchen of our house
As you, sleep in this morning
Me And Mine lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
The boy leaps from his bed
Comes bounding down the stairs
The sun's not even up yet
He doesn't even care
And I
Yes, I was like that once
He says, "Daddy, it's today"
There is this promise that we made
And I open my eyes slowly
And I see his smiling face
And I
Yes, I was like that once
So I put on my shirt
And my jeans and my boots
And I say, "Boy, I love you"
And he knows that I do
He says, "Pops, can we stop
For breakfast on the way?"
I say, "Son, I'll brew the coffee
And I'll make you some eggs"
And I thank God
That he
Is mine
The girl calls from the yard
"Daddy, daddy, come and see"
She's perfecting her front handspring
And she is showing off for me
And I
Yes, I was like that once
So I pull off both my boots
And I raise up both my hands
Then I show her I can do one, too
And she laughs hard 'cause I can't
And I
I was like that once
She says, "Dad, you're like ridiculous"
I say, "That's kinda my job"
And she kisses me on my cheek
Then she's back out in the yard
And she is wild
And free
And mine
Oh, I thank God
That she
Is mine
The woman's on the porch
She says, "Husband come and sit"
And we look up at the stars
And we talk about our kids
And I
"I was like that once," she says
And she says, "Do you remember
Just how terrified you were
Before our babies came
How you were shaken to the core?"
And I
I was like that once
And she says, "Oh love
Look how blessed
You and I've become"
And I take her hand and say to her
"You'll always be the one"
And I'm still
Mystified
That you
Want to
Be mine
Oh, I thank God
That you are mine
And I thank God
That he is mine
And I thank God
That she is mine
And I thank God
For me and mine
Sunshine State lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Feel like I'm dying
Or I'm half dead anyway
Too many dark days
Strung out in the sunshine state
I was almost a kid there
But I grew up fast and hard
I guess you make all kinds of mistakes
Before you find out who you are
Feel like I'm fighting
To hold on to something dear
Too many friends I loved
Let go when things got real
One left me these secrets
I've been carrying around
'Cause she said to protect 'em
And I will not let her down
I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all these years
I wish I could tell you
She'll come back
For me one day
But she's
In a better place
And I'm stuck in
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state
Feels like I'm lying
When I say that place is home
'Cause it feels like it's
Keeping who I was
From where I'm going
I am almost a kid here
When I'm playing fast and loud
Come tomorrow I'll be halfway gone
But I'm all the way here right now
I wish I could tell you
Just how beautiful she feels
I wish I could tell you I've been
With her all these years
I wish I could tell you
She'll come back
For me one day
But she's
In a better place
And I'm stuck in
In the sunshine state
The sunshine state
The sunshine state
The sunshine state
Pain Free In Three Chords lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I think I got numb
For a while
I was tired
I was hurting and I'm not so sure
I was good
To myself
I held on for longer than most
I suppose
But so what?
Who's to say just what measure of time
Is enough
Or too much
I don't know man, I don't
But I keep up appearances
Maybe things don't have to be so hard
I just have to fall apart
How tough could that be?
Just make sure I give it some
Hard throated melodies
Frankly and honestly
Shake it out
And yeah it might break me down
But no ones pain free
I'm starting to hurt
Or to heal
I forget
How to tell 'cause I'm stuck in this rut
Of relief
And of doubt
That's when things get all spun and spin out
Of my hands
And my head
And feelings that I thought were dead
Start to hurt
Me again
I don't know how, I don't
But I keep up appearances
Maybe things don't have to be so hard
I just have to fall apart
How tough could that be?
Just make sure I give it some
Hard throated melody
Frankly and honestly
Shake it out
And yeah it might break me down
But no ones pain free
I look at my self
And I see
Someone's eyes
In the mirror and I want to shout
"That was me
Those were mine"
But something about that's a lie
That I lost
Over time
And I just want to go back but I'm
Not so sure
That is wise
I don't know man, I don't
But I keep up appearances
Maybe things don't have to be so hard
I just have to fall apart
How tough could that be?
Just make sure I give it some
Hard throated melody
Frankly and honestly
Shake it out
And yeah it might break me down
But no one's pain free
I don't know how, I don't
But I keep up appearances
Maybe things don't have to be so hard
I just have to fall apart
How tough could that be?
Just make sure I give it some
Hard throated melody
Frankly and honestly
Shake it out
And yeah it might break me down
But no one's pain free
And yeah it might break me down
But no one's pain free
And yeah it might break me down
But no one's pain free
Young lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I was young
And you were young
And we had young ideas
And they were brilliant
I remember
Do you remember?
I remember
And once
When I was young
I found myself in love
With you completely
Without warning
Without a doubt
I was absolutely sure that you
Were the one
But I was young
And you were young
We were young
Now
I am not young
I am not foolish in the way that I once was
When I was young
And I was brave
And I was brazen
And I was just so hopelessly in love
I remember
Do you remember?
I remember
I am not young
I am not foolish
And I have every idea of what I am asking
And it is brazen
And it's honest
It has always been and will always be this question
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
Will you be my heart?
All The Truth That I Can Tell lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I have some stories I
Would like to tell but I
Have sworn myself to secrecy
I have some deep regrets
Some things you don't forget
They haunt you for eternity
Things I could not control
I was too young to know
I needed to protect myself
Some people mean you harm
They'll see how hurt you are
And use you to enjoy themselves
I don't fear that now
I found my own way out
And I will use those lessons well
Some specificities
Some changed identities
And all the truth that I can tell
And all the truth that I can tell
I pace the dressing room
I feel myself consumed
By joy and fear for what's to come
My friends are playing now
Oh man, how good they sound
And my nerves burn until I'm numb
They play their biggest tune
Back here I sing it too
And when they're done
I strum some chords
I tune up my guitar
Grab something from the bar
Then pace around a little more
I sing a little bit
I save the rest of it
For what's to come when I walk out
I'm nervous, I'll admit
That's just a part of it
And honestly, I like that now
I take the stage and I
Collapse in fractured rhyme
Surrounded by a crowd of friends
They sing along with me
We trade the melody
And I hope that will never end
And then I go backstage
And my friends pair away
In cabs and cars and bikes and trains
And I find solitude
And I call home to you
And you call me your secret name
And I say, "What a show
You should've seen 'em though
I wish I could take them with me"
And you just kinda laugh
Say, I already have
"They're in you now. They'll always be
They're in you now. They'll always be"
I have some stories I
Would like to tell but I
Have sworn myself to secrecy
We Fight lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
We were the kids that left home probably too young
But we took our share and maybe then some
Tired of beatings and battles and being sewn up
But that made us grow up, and that made 'em scared
'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down
No, we only learned to shout
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
And we earned what we could from the ground up
And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
And there's still a kid somewhere that needs to hear this
That somebody cares, that somebody knows
Who's tired of bleeding and battered and being torn up
Just pick yourself up, it's time to go
'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down
No, we only learned to shout
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
And we earned what we could from the ground up
And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
Maybe we found a way to make some tracks
We didn't snicker and turn our backs
We just keep digging in, and digging in, and giving back
'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down
No, we only learned to shout
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
And we earned what we could from the ground up
And tried to lift the whole damn crowd up
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
'Cause we never learned to keep our voices down
No, we only learned to shout
So we fight our way in (we fight our way in)
And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
(We fight our way in) We fight our way in
(And we fight our way out) And we fight our way out
Catch You lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Turn on the shadow, it knows the light
Expose the darkest hole
In confidence, you hold for you
And yours to keep alone
But I heard the story goes a little less
Like what you're told
Well, I'm no angel
But I am willing to watch over you
It's a long way up
To fall all the way down
But when you're ready
I will be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I'll catch you
To catch you
Ride out the worst of it, it hurts a bit
From what I'm told
You can't get over it or out from it
'Til you're alone
But I'll be shadowing
And waiting 'til you make it through
I am no angel
But I'm willing to watch over you
It's a long way up
To fall all the way down
When you're ready
I'll be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I'll catch you
To catch you
Turn on the shadow, knows the light
Expose the darkest hole
In confidence, you hold for you
And yours to keep alone
It's a long way up
To fall all the way down
It's a long way up
To fall all the way down
When you're ready
I'll be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I'll catch you
To catch you
About Us lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
You waited to make the call
Longer than most would
Longer than most
Just to be safe
Few words to say it all
Fewer than most would
Fewer than most
There's nothing to save
So I thought about staying home
I thought about laying low
But there's no use hiding away
Now I wanna hold you a little bit tighter
Burn like a lighter
Light a fire up about us
I'm always gonna be about us
Chasing you like nothing else matters
Only getting faster
And I'm never giving up on us
I'm always gonna be about us
I think of the mess we made
As I walked to the corner
I walked to the corner of 7th and Main
The scene of a serenade
I try to find order
And try to find order in all of this change
And I think about who we are
I think of how very far
I'll go when there's so much to save
Now I wanna hold you a little bit tighter
Burn like a lighter
Light a fire up about us
I'm always gonna be about us
Chasing you like nothing else matters
Only getting faster
And I'm never giving up on us
I'm always gonna be about us
About us
About us
I'd be lost without you here with me
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Find me a war; I'll fight it if that's what you need
So darling don't hide from me
Now I wanna hold you a little bit tighter
Burn like a lighter
Light a fire up about us
I'm always gonna be about us
Chasing you like nothing else matters
Only getting faster
And I'm never giving up on us
I'm always gonna be about us
About us
I'm always gonna be about us
About us
I'm always gonna be about us
About us
About us
Heart Beat Here lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Come on home and let yourself heal
You could sleep for a thousand years
I won't let you disappear
Let your heart beat here
You've been running far and wide
Doing what you hope is right
Chasing what you feel inside
I will take your path as mine
I feel it in my ribs
Feel it in my soul
The pulse just grows
So loud and so clear
Let your heart beat here
Let your heart beat here
Winters come to take me away
I wear my ring to know what's at stake
And when the days work at their own pace
You remain my time and place
I feel it in my ribs
Feel it in my soul
The pulse just grows
So loud and so clear
Let your heart beat here
So loud and so clear
Let your heart beat here
Yeah, let your heart beat here
We found our way past our youthful fears
And fought our way through the pain and tears
And we drove our stakes in the place most dear
And let our hearts beat
I feel it in my ribs
Feel it in my soul
The pulse just grows
So loud and so clear
Let your heart beat here
So loud and so clear
Let your heart beat here
Yeah, let your heart beat here
Let your heart beat here
Belong lyrics - Cash Cash & Dashboard Confessional
Get in the car, I'll drive
We got no place to be on time
So let's just enjoy the ride
We can go wherever the road decides for
We can head for the shore
Or some place we've never been before
Just climb in and close the door
We've got nothing to answer for
'Cause you, you belong with me
And I belong with you
You belong with me
And I belong with you
I belong with, I belong with you
Reach out and take my hand
We got the radio pumping jams
We don't got no map and we don't got plans
We don't gotta follow anyone's demands
Feel the wind blowing in your hair
The sun on your face and a song in the air
We can go as fast as we ever dare
Until we see tomorrow in the rearview mirror
'Cause you, you belong with me
And I belong with you
You belong with me
And I belong with you
I belong with, I belong with you, you...
With you, you...
I belong with, I belong with you
Get in the car, I'll drive
We got no place to be on time
So let's just enjoy the ride
We can go wherever the road decides
'Cause you, you belong with me
And I belong with you
You belong with me
And I belong with you
You belong with me
And yeah, I belong with you
Where you go, I'll go
'Cause I belong with you
Where you go, I'll go
'Cause I belong with you
I belong with, I belong with you, you...
With you, you...
I belong with, I belong with you
Crooked Shadows Dashboard Confessional
Does it hurt? Well, you're not alone
'Cause I'm there for you when you need to let it go
Let the world spin on its own
And the storm will pass before you even know
Just remember that
Always break from the heavy weather
Cast a line if we want together
Side by side beside our crooked shadows
Only a fool would even try for this
We'll be the ones who get away with it
Running side by side beside our crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Our crooked shadows
Leave your keys; You won't need them
Only bring what we can carry on the run
I believe, I believe in us
'Cause together you and I are strong enough
Let's always break from the heavy weather
Cast a line if we want together
Side by side beside our crooked shadows
Only a fool would even try for this
We'll be the ones who get away with it
Running side by side beside our crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Our crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Only a fool would even try for this
We'll be the ones who get away with it
Running side by side beside our crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Our crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Crooked shadows
Open My Eyes lyrics - Dashboard Confessional (feat. Lindsey Stirling)
I took a beating; Hell, I took some bad ones
Just trying to hold this thing straight
It's hard work believing
You win some, you lose some
While watching your work go to waste
Don't know when to start running
Don't know if I'm done in
Or whether to pull you in tight
When you're this deep in something
Can't be certain what's coming
But I got this cold feeling I'm right
So if you know something I don't
Won't you please, please open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
I dragged some dirt in, I know that we both did
We tracked it all over the floor
From dancing turning to pacing and worrying
There's wear deep in every board
There were two, now there's one
Down from so much to none
At some point somebody got tired
Is it easy for some to know what's to be done
To make it or only keep trying?
Well, if you know something I don't
Won't you please, please open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
I would stare at myself in the mirror
If I thought that I had any answers
Hey, I'm finding my way just by feel here
Only so far we can see clear
So if you know something I don't
If you know something I don't
Won't you please, please open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
Open my eyes
If you know something I don't
Won't you please, please
Won't you please, please open your eyes
Be Alright lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
You turned your shoulder and looked back at me
Thanked me for my blind belief
You said, "I'll be going for a little while
There's no doubt to tell me so don't even try."
Don't ever wonder if you're on my mind
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Each of us, we got a dream to chase
We wouldn't have it any other way
We're stronger by far from the risks we take
No, we ain't the kind to play it safe
No, we ain't the kind to play it safe
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
I know we're gonna be alright
This place all slowly disappears
As I write to you from here
When it was long, it pinned your hair
You placed it right behind my ear
It said if I write you every night
Then oh, it's gonna be alright
Oh, we're gonna be alright
I know we're gonna be alright
I know we're gonna be alright
I know we're gonna be alright
Just What To Say lyrics - Dashboard Confessional (feat. Chrissy Costanza)
I went through this door
For no other reason than it wasn't open
And sometimes I'm foolish enough to believe encouraging things
But most times I'm cautiously less optimistic
A face in the crowd I wish to be found
I worry so often for those who escape
I wonder out loud I sleep at odd hours
And I write 'cause I never know just what to say
My friends all believe me when I say I'm busy
With pretty big things
I cancel most plans, I hurt someone's feelings
I feel like I'm starting
And just when I'm starting, I'm starting to stray
And every day, I take a white page
And try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
I try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
I've planted some clues that I hope you find easily
Things that I find hard to speak clear and true
I think there's a part of you
Hoping I'm hoping you feel like I do
And maybe you're listening somewhere you like to be
Where you let everything heavy just go
How I'd like to be there
How I'd like to stay
How I'd like to listen
How I'd like to think I'd know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
I try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
Somebody, somebody blocked the door
I know it was me for sure
But somebody knows where I'm hidden away
I try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
I try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
I try very hard to know just what to say
Just what to say, just what to say
Get Me Right lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I made my slow way home
Limping on broken bones
Out of the thickest part
Across the county lines
Onto Your wooden stairs
I know You can repair
I know You've seen the light
I know You'll get me right
Right, right, right
I own a sinner's heart
I know the rain falls hard
I know the currency
I know the things You'll need
I hope He hears my prayers
I see You cut Your hair
I know the saving type
I know You'll get me right
Right, right, right
Oh Jesus, I've fallen
I don't mind the rain if
I meet my maker
I meet my maker
Clearly, Jesus
The truth is
I struggle so hard to believe
I need my maker, I need my maker
To cure me of my darling gun
And drain me of the sins I love
And take from me my disbelief
I know it should come easily
But it remains inside of me
It battles and devours me
It cuddles up the side of me
In whispers, it convinces me I'm
Right, right, right
Right, right, right
Right, right, right
Right, right
Until Morning lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
It was the year I crashed my motorbike
I think it was the summer
I think you whispered
"When you gonna wake up? When you gonna wake up?"
Dear, slip these on your tongue
Little seeds of reinvention
In angels' hands
The medicine of modern man
Wait now
Tell me that this isn't over
Hang on, just long enough
If this is Heaven
Or if it's just a warning
Say you will stay with me
Even if it's just 'til morning
If this is over
Then why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
Stay here and we can start again
We could be made over
You'll hear us shouting
"When you gonna wake up? When you gonna wake up?"
Scared, well, everyone gets scared
Just signal when you're ready
In angels' hands
Sleep so steady, sleep so steady
Wait now
Tell me that this isn't over
Hang on, just long enough
If this is Heaven
Or if it's just a warning
Say you will stay with me
Even if it's just 'til morning
If this is over then
Why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
If you're running from your secrets
I won't make you take them with you
I am ready I can take it
You don't have to carry them alone
There's a way out if you want it
To an end or a new beginning
You just have to find it on your own
If this is Heaven
Or if it's just a warning
Say you will stay with me
If this is over then
Why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
One more night
(If this is over)
One more night
(Or if it's just a warning)
Even if it's just 'til morning
One more night
(If this is over)
One more night
(Then why is it so hard?)
One more night
(Say you will stay with me)
Even if it's just 'til morning
Even if it's just 'til morning
Even if it's just 'til morning
Even if it's just 'til morning
Everybody Learns From Disaster lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
We went rolling up the coast
Then there was no more coast to wander
We tried every different road
Just to see which took us further
We were living on the run
Though there was no one chasing after
We were looking out for love
And we were flirting with disaster
While the world fades out
We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster
We stayed on the run too long
Hoping we'd never return
Now everybody learns from disaster
We watched the sun burn down into cinders
We turned out into the plains
And turned in when we got tired
We slept two across the bench
And we fit three under the covers
We had just enough cash left
To top the tank and fill the cooler
And we lit the van with dreams
After the sun burned into cinders
And the world fades out
We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster
We stayed on the run too long
Hoping we'd never return
Now everybody learns from disaster
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders
We stayed in the sun too long
Suffered a terrible burn
Now everybody learns from disaster
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders
We watched the sun burn down
We watched the sun burn down into cinders
Belle Of The Boulevard lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Down in a local bar out on the Boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you from sinking
It's a long way down, it's a long way
Back like you never broke, you tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg and thinks he's getting close
For now you let him
Just this once, just for now, and just like that it's over
Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard
In all your silver rings, in all your silken things
That song you softly sing
Is keeping you from breaking
It's a long way down, it's a long way
Back here you never lost, you shake the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Just this once, just for now, and just like that it's over
Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, oh keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard
Please hold on, it's all right
Please hold on, it's all right
Please hold on
Down in a local bar out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you
Don't turn away, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, but keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart, dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard, let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't turn turn away
Time to dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid, or keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart, gonna dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the Belle of the Boulevard
I Know About You lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Well, I know the trouble when the trouble starts
And I know the signals of a straying heart
And I know the stirrings of a double cross
And I see suspicions arise around you
I know the chatter as it starts to creep
I know the walls as they ring and repeat
I know the secrets they were meant to keep
And I see suspicions arise
It's a shame, I know
But it all shakes out real slow
When the forays of your weekend
Hang like smoke onto your clothes
And the shame of it grows
When you whisper it nice and low
But all the walls have ears my darling
And all bad things get known
And I know about you
I know about you
I know the ceiling when it starts to burn
And I know the season when it starts to turn
And I know the patterns that the wicked learn
And I see suspicions arise around you
I know the curtain and the way it falls
I know the burden and the pain it draws
I know you're sorry for something
But I don't know why
It's a shame, I know
But it all shakes out real slow
When the forays of your weekend
Hang like smoke onto your clothes
And the shame of it grows
When you whisper it nice and low
But all the walls have ears my darling
And all bad things get known
And I know about you
(I know about you)
I know about you
It's a shame, I know
But it all shakes out real slow
When the forays of your weekend
Hang like smoke onto your clothes
And the shame of it grows
When you whisper it nice and low
But all the walls have ears my darling
And all bad things get known
And I know about you
I know about you
(I know about you)
I know about you
(I know about you)
I know about you
Alter The Ending lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I know that yesterday is gone
And it won't come back to me
But I miss it after all
It never really lasts as long
As we meant for it to be
There'll twists and turns
To pull at us and tear into the seams
But I'll meet you where we started once again
'Cause I miss you
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the worst is yet to come
We're only waiting on the sun
To clear away the haze
'Cause we can't see where we've gone
From where we started, where we strayed
And where we're meant to be
There'll be ash and dust to bury us
But I will keep you clean
And I'll meet you where we started once again
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the worst is yet to come
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on
Even when they said we'd be undone
Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong
Even when the best is yet to come
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
And when tomorrow comes
And we've shown everyone
What they can never take away
Blame It On The Changes lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I lay down, I can't sleep
My mind runs on repeat
I stare at the ceiling from my side
I reach out, you're right there
But you're lost in the details
I wait for the end of the long night
You can blame it on the changes
I can take it anyway it is
We just got lost but we both found
We need this more than ever
Can we take it? Can we save it?
Sick of keeping, tired of waiting
Can we hold out? Can you hold on?
'Cause I need you more than you know now
We play like we don't know
We both lie, but we don't show
That something is changing between us
We start out in one lane
The same road, the same name
But something we can't see divides us
You can blame it on the changes
I can take it anyway it is
We just got lost but we both found
We need this more than ever
Can we take it? Can we save it?
Sick of keeping, tired of waiting
Can we hold out? Can you hold on?
'Cause I need you more than you know now
'Cause I need you more than you know now
'Cause I need you more than you know now
(Don't run away, don't run away)
'Cause I need you more than you know now
(Don't run away, don't run away)
You can blame it on the changes
I can take it anyway it is
We just got lost but we both found
We need this more than ever
Can we take it? Can we save it?
Sick of keeping, tired of waiting
Can we hold out? Can you hold on?
'Cause I need this more than ever
'Cause I need you more than you know now
Even Now lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Even now, I can smell your clothes
Freshly from the wash
Still hot from the dryer
Even now, I can smell your skin
As I wrap you in a towel
Lay you on the bed
And try to love you
Even now, I can feel your arms
I can feel your breast
And I can hear your songs
And I always can find you again
Even now, I can feel your hand
Gently over mine
With almost no weight at all
Even now, I can feel your eyes
Watch me as I strum
Much too late at night
Even now, I can see you smile
I can hear you hum
I can hear you sing
And I always can find you again
Even in the dark of night
Even in the lowest light
Even as the world outside
Is spinning and spinning
Even now, I can feel your hair
Blow across my cheek
As we sit in one of two chairs
Even now, I can feel your face
Resting on my chest
Wrestling for sleep
And failing at it
Even now, I can see you sleep
I can see you dream
I can see you fly
And I always can find you again
And I always can find you again
The Motions lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
From small pains to fiery burns
These are the signals of my dying nerves
Singed by the heat of your lines and curves
Into a fire that could scorch the earth
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through them, but I can't remember how to feel
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not afraid to be bound to impulses of science
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not ashamed to be owned by the impulses
From small shocks to surging bolts
These are the signals from my spinal cords
Sent down the wires through the lines and folds
Into a wire on my frontal lobe
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through the motions
I'm going through them, but I can't remember how to feel
Since I ran my hands over you
Nothing else will ever do now
To cool me down
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not afraid to be bound to impulses of science
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not ashamed to be owned by the impulses
Since I ran my hands over you
Nothing else will ever do
Since I ran my hands over you
Nothing else will ever do
Since I ran my hands over you
Nothing else will ever do now
To cool me down
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not afraid to be bound to impulses of science
If this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Oh, if this is chemical, oh, if this is chemical
Then I am not ashamed to be owned by the impulses of science
If this is chemical, if this is chemical
If this is chemical, if this is chemical
(I can't remember how to feel)
If this is chemical, if this is chemical
If this is chemical, if this is chemical
Then I am not ashamed to be owned by the impulses of science
No News Is Bad News lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
I sit in wonder of your thoughts
What makes you so sure
Our sins are not the start
Of something wholly divine?
I don't like the sound of this
No news is bad news
And all this quiet and all your looks
Give no betrayal to what you shield or hide
Wider walls
Have not protected
Anything or anyone
The way I will protect your burning heart
I know you're careful
'Cause I've been burned before and I know how it makes you careful
And I know your symptoms
Are complicated from holding against the impulse
But if you're alone, are you lonely?
Well, you just don't have to be
Lonely anymore
I don't like the looks of this
Without you there's no truth
But all my doubt and all my trust
Is no betrayal to what I feel inside
Wider walls
Have not protected
Anything or anyone
The way I will defend your beating heart
I know you're careful
'Cause I've been burned before and I know how that makes you careful
And I know your symptoms
Are complicated from holding against the impulse
But if you're alone, are you lonely?
Well, you just don't have to be
Lonely anymore
I sit in wonder of your thoughts
What makes you so sure
Our sins are not the start
Of something wholly divine?
I don't like the sound of this
No news is bad news
I don't like the sound of this
No news is bad news
I don't like the sound of this
No news is bad news
I don't like the sound of this
No news is bad news
Water And Bridges lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
There's things I know I should've mentioned sooner
But I didn't know how, I'm sorry I lost you
I never thought that this could come between us
I know it's water and bridges now
But what's the sense of carrying around this weight?
These words are tearing me apart
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
That face, I know exactly what you're thinking
But I'm certain this time is different
And that's why I can't pretend that everything is mended
I know I've tried to for too long now
But what's the sense in carrying around this weight?
These words are tearing us apart
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
Oh, save me from a gray life
Oh, save me from the gray life
I've paid the price with my soul
Oh, save me
And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance, if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
Hell On The Throat lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
A line of strands to mark the trail
No one said it would be easy
I must admit I thought the risk
Was better waged in younger seasons
And all these years in the cold play hell on the throat
'Til everything I say burns like cinders
Well, it's hard to belong to a girl or a song
In the crease of a strangling winter
It's strange to be lost, stranger still to belong
On the strings of a twisting line
Along the way the turns are sharp
No one said it would be easy
I must admit, I thought the trip
Was better made in younger seasons
But all these years in pursuit made a man of a fool
'Til every word I say is unwavered
Well, it's hard to belong to a girl or a song
In the case of a selfish believer
It's strange to be lost, stranger still to belong
On the strings of a twisting line
Well it's hard to belong to a girl or a song
In the case of a selfish believer
It's strange to be lost, stranger still to belong
On the strings of a twisting line
And when the path I have made from the grass to the grave
I will love you still
And when the sand turns to glass and all that's left is the past
I will love you still
Truth Of The Matter lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Over the fence
My foot gets a hold of the grate
And up to the rope
Who knows if it can't take my weight
Nut even if it frays
Even as I scale these walls
I believe that troubles mount
And I believe a curse
Hold me in her arms
And the truth of the matter
Is it's all over you
Ahead of it shouts by a mile or two
If I sail out to the west
Who know if I can make the rest
But even if I can't
Even if they take me back
I believe that troubles mount
And I believe a curse
Hold me in her arms
And the truth of the matter
Is it all over you
And the truth of the matter
Is it all over you
All over over you
All over over you
But even if I'm safe
Even if I make it out
I believe that troubles mounts
And I believe a curse
Holds me in her arms
And the truth of the matter
Is it all over you
And the truth of the matter
Is it all over you
The Cut And Run Routine lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
So, I've seen the truth is
That you've been leaving since the day you showed
Oh well, I've seen your little cut and run routine
Enough times now to have it memorized
So there's no surprises
Oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess
But it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party
For a cold and lonely girl
With her sights set on the big exit
With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex
So it feels a bit less lonely
For a cold and lonely girl
So, I could see the angles you play
And I've been your game since the day you showed
Oh well, I've had you about as much I wanted
Enough times now to have it memorized
So there's no surprises
Oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess
But it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party
For a cold and lonely girl
With her sights set on the big exit
With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex
So it feels a bit less lonely
For a cold and lonely girl
All I ever wanted for you was to stand on your own
All I ever wanted for you was to stand on your own
Sure, there's no surprises
Oh it's sad enough to be a fine mess
But it's shaping up to be a cold and lonely party
For a cold and lonely girl
With her sights set on the big exit
With a chase and a catch and some makeup sex
So it feels a bit less lonely
For a cold and lonely girl
So it feels a bit less lonely
For a cold and lonely girl
So it feels a bit less lonely
For a cold and lonely girl like you
Theme From Volume 1 lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
Why is the world in love again?
Why are we marching hand in hand?
Why are the ocean levels rising up?
It's a brand new record of songs we've covered
We hope you like them, here is Volume 1
Valens lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by The Movielife)
I took what I wanted
But I didn't have what I want
Balled up, sprawled out
Flame on the seat of the couch
Seemingly intangible, I cup it
Rekindle it, and ward the wind
I took what I wanted
But I didn't have what I want
Balled up, sprawled out
Seat's aflame on the couch
Seemingly intangible, I cup it
Rekindle it, and ward the wind
We clicked, and I clicked
I pointed, and squinted, and pulled
We clicked, and I clicked
I pointed, squinted, and pulled
And I can never take it back
I live in this heat, I freeze in its wrath
I live in this heat, I can't win
El Scorcho lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Weezer)
Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm Jell-o, baby
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of public enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me
I'm a lot like you so please, hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them (how cool is that)
How cool is that?
So I went to your room and read your diary:
Watching Grunge leg drop New-Jack through a press table
And then my heart stopped:
Listening to Cio-Cio San, fall in love all over again
I'm a lot like you so please, hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won't you gimme a minute
Just come up to me
And say hello to my heart
How stupid is it? For all I know you want me too
And maybe you just don't know what to do
Or maybe you're scared to say: 'I'm falling for you'
I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cause I can't even look in your eyes without shaking, and I ain't faking
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon
I'm a lot like you so please, hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
And I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
A Year In The Past, Forever In The Future lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Grade)
This is a time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
Those summer days that I longed for
Never really were
What I wanted them to be
Just like when beautiful people
Drive ugly cars
Just like when pretty people
Crash ugly cars
I'm hitting the road again
With five of my best friends
We always seem to disagree
But I still enjoy their company
But I still enjoy their company
And when I'm here
I'll make you a mixed tape
Those singers always know
Just what to say
My throat is already hurting
And it's not even the first day
The record sounds great
But for some reason
I can't pull it off from day to day
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
Overkill lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Men At Work)
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just your imagination
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day, it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
If I Needed You lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
And ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
For to ease your pain
In the night forlorn
The morning's born
And the morning shines
With the lights of love
You will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
That would break
My heart in two
The lady's with me now
Since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree, she's a sight to see
And a treasure for the poor to find
If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
And ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
For to ease your pain
Angels Of The Silences lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Counting Crows)
Well, I guess, you left me
With some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier
To leave me where I stand?
I guess, there might not be too many
Who would stand beside you now
Where'd you come from? Where am I going?
Why'd you leave me till I'm only good for
Waiting, for you
All my sins, I said that I would pay for them
If I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
Every night these silhouettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences
That climb into my bed and whisper
Every time I fall asleep, every time I dream
Did you come? Would you lie?
Why'd you leave me till we're only good for
Waiting, for you
All my sins, I said that I would pay for them
If I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
Little angels hang above my head
And read me like an open book and suck my blood
Break my nerve, offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anyone
I'll only stand here
Waiting, for you
All my sins, I said that I would pay for them
If I could come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
I'm gone, I'm gone, I leave today
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
Take me away
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone away, I'm gone, I'm gone
Catch lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by The Cure)
Yeah, I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yeah I'd see her when the days got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know, I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling, again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on the floor
(Just rollin' about on the floor)
And I remember
Even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sorts of far away
And stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling, again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name
Yes, I sometimes even tried to catch her
But never even caught her name
Pretty Pathetic lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Smoking Popes)
You should have heard me sobbing
As I drove home that night
Got into bed and stayed there
For days I just laid there
Having been permanently changed
But we won't get into that now
Let's take it from the start
You should have seen me smiling
Like the world was mine
She used to call me baby
Softly, sometimes
But if I dwell on those days too long
I feel like my life is over, and that's no good
So let's move on
To the part where I begin to sense her distance
I panic and hold on tighter
That makes it worse
How am I supposed to take it
When she says
"This is something I'm going through
It's got nothing to do with you"
I had a special evening all planned out
Desperately determined to reignite
Some spark between us
She had to feel something for me
A love as strong as ours
Doesn't just go away
You can't just turn it off
Unless she was lying all those times
But I don't think so
I really don't think so
The way she used to look at me
Made me a thousand feet high
The meaning of the word, "cool"
Not the same geek
Who fumbled through his words that night
The ugliest night
I said some pretty awkward things
I got the feeling that she felt sorry for me
I should have seen it was hopeless and left it alone
But I had to go on embarrassing myself
"I miss what we had, I need you so badly"
"I miss what we had, I need you so badly"
"I miss what we had, I need you so badly"
"I miss what we had, I need you so badly"
I must have sounded pretty pathetic, I know
That's why I don't blame her for what she said
But listen to me rambling
We don't know each other that well
But you're so easy to talk to
I feel like I could tell you almost anything
I hope I haven't put you off
I have a tendency to do that
Why don't I just be quiet?
Crazy lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by The Afghan Whigs)
Whatever did happen to your soul?
I heard you sold it
To some old boy who lived uptown
Who could afford it
So what's gonna happen to you now?
Therapy? The pharmacy?
Crazy, that's what you'd like to believe
But it ain't easy
When you're going crazy
Over the rainbow
I think your story's jive, she said
There ain't nothing wrong with me
If I use it to get me some sympathy
Some ecstasy, a memory, I wanna remember me
Crazy, that's what you'd like to believe
But it ain't easy
When you're going crazy
Over the rainbow
Crazy, crazy over you
Crazy without you
Crazy without you
Crazy over you
Better lyrics - Dashboard Confessional
(originally by Regina Spektor)
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never, ever call you by it
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Getting sad, getting sad, getting sadder
And I don't understand and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel anything at all?
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel anything at all?
Anything at all, anything at all
Anything at all, anything at all
Anything at all
