"I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn. They kiss on the ring, I carry the crown. Nothing can break, nothing can break me down. Don't need no advice, I got a plan. I know the direction, the lay of the land, I know the score like the back of my hand. Them other boys, I don't give a damn."

"Spent the summer just layin' out in the sun. Time seems to move so slowly, when you're taking it as it comes. Maybe we were just too young. Your body was tan and your hair was long. You shot me a smile and my cares were gone Fallin' in love filled my soul with fright You said, "Come on, babe, it'll be alright." I must've been a fool to the bitter end, Now I hold on to hope that I'll have you back again."

"Racing shadows through the moonlight Through the desert on a hot night. For a second there we won, We were innocent and young."

"Motherless child dost thou believe That thine afflictions have caused us to grieve? Motherless child angels have closed Their eyes, thou wast thrown away and exposed."

"If you could see through the banner of the sun Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you, Would you turn away? What if it knew you by your name? What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwind of these days?"

"Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else. I've been trying hard to do what's right, But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky."

"Always here, always on time Close call, was it love or was it just easy? Money talks when people need shoes and socks. Steady boys, I'm thinking she needs me.I was just sipping on something sweet, I don't need political process."

"The good old days, the honest man, The restless heart, the Promised Land. A subtle kiss that no one sees, A broken wrist and a big trapeze. Oh, well, I don't mind if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine. Before you go, can you read my mind?"

"I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer. I move a little bit closer, For reasons unknown."

"There was an open chair. We sat down in the open chair. I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to. And my eyes don’t recognize you at all.For reasons unknown, For reasons unknown."

"They say the devil's water — it ain't so sweet. You don't have to drink right now, But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while."

"Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital, My hands are cold, And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer. Are we human? Or are we dancer?"

"I got soul but I'm not a soldier Time, truth, and hearts."

"Breaking my back just to know your name, Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game. I'm breaking my back just to know your name. But heaven ain't close in a place like this, Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss. 'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this, I said, oh, heaven ain't close in a place like this. Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (Ooh-ooh), Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight.Well, somebody told me you had a boyfriend Who looked like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year. It's not confidential, I've got potential."

"Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind. And I'm sick of all my judges; So scared of what they'll find. But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then."

"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibi. But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me. Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside."

"We hope you enjoy your stay Outside the sun is shining It seems like heaven ain't far away."

"The storm maker says, "It ain't so bad." The dream maker's gonna make you mad. The spaceman says, "Everybody look down, It's all in your mind.""

"Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss."

"Save some face, you know you've only got one. Change your ways while you're young. Boy, one day you'll be a man, Oh, girl, he'll help you understand.Smile like you mean it. Smile like you mean it."

"We took a walk tonight, but it wasn't the same. We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain. She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go. She couldn't scream while i held her close, I swore i'd never, let her go."

"Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind, A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand. I'd been on her trail for a little while, But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand. A teenage rush. She said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time."But that ain't much. We can't wait till tomorrow. You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh!"

"Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear"

"Please keep your hands down And stop raising your voice It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice It's a simple suggestion an you give me some time So just say yes or no Why can't you shoulder the blame? 'Cause both my shoulders are heavy From the weight of us both You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth You've not heard a single word I have said Oh my god"

"This could be the very minute I'm aware I'm alive All these places feel like home"

"Is it too late to remind you how we were But not our last days of silent, screaming, blur Most of what I remember makes me sure I should have stopped you from walking out the door"

"You know just the right thing to say when the Distance rips us farther and farther and farther away"

"Wait now prince There's a brilliant sky above And a jealous moon in love and they are Starved for our attention."

"I'll see you soon Just say that you want to see me too."

"Cause I need you Like the dragonfly's wings need the wind Like the orphan needs home once again Like heaven needs more to come in I need you here like you've always been."

"I'm sure I don't understand how I found a love so pure."

"It was your hello that kept me hanging on every word And your goodbye that keeps me listening for your voice around each corner."

"She says that I am the brightest little firefly in her jar."

"Talk to me like you don't know what we ever fought about Cause I don't remember anymore."

"I'm sorry That I can't take this pain away from you And I'd put it on my own body if I knew how to."

"All of the world And all of it's powers Couldn't keep your love from me."

"Jonathan Bucklew (Drums)"

"You've got an extra special heart A perfect light that shines through And it seems the hardest part Is shining back at you."

"Aaron Marsh (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Piano)"

"Brian Laurenson (Guitar, Piano)"

"James Likeness (Bass, Vocals)"

"There's a love that transcends All that we've known of ourselves And I'll wait for it to come."

"Feel the pain teaching us how much more we can take Reminding us how far we've come Let the pain burn away from our hearts We have time to start all over again."

"It's a fight between my heart and mind No one really wins this time... In the endless fight of grace and pride I don't want to win this time."

"Your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it This moment could be our last You fall in love and I'm running after You move way too fast."

"Do what you want but I know who you are Say what you want but I know what you're thinking Go where you want but I won't be too far Go where want and I know where you'll end up."

"You could take everything I have Just don't leave my side."

"When they come knocking on your heart's door Choose the one who loves you more."

"Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string Till you cut through my tether and changed everything From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same So I darted back quickly to spell out your name And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight."

"We're just going to play the hell out of it until they can't take it anymore."
