What made you remember The place you said would never last forever you were always on your knees or on the grown & me up on my spoapbox preaching politics to anyone and listen is that really all it took Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall Daddys little swing set princess in a figure skate routine in 1993 Her skates are too tight causing blisters their too much her to take its too much for her to take Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall You’re so used to telling lies I’m so used to hearing lies One more flight I’ll be right home I hope you’re just not waiting for me now waiting for me now Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall Use me like a stolen car Lie back Lauralie She said, as the headboard fall on the motel wall

Fake Tan 04:26
These things come in threes, Once broken, twice bleed. The third one comes to understanding. but you got your blue dress on Screaming out my name on a New Jersey peer in vain under-stated, wan-ting Independent of the things you meant to me And what the Empire thinks I appreciate letting you down for a good time, for such a long time. And then you punch me in the face. You cant hold me back, fall You cant hold me back, fall You cant hold me baaack Did you ever stop to think I’d find a way Im ok, away I lied about needing everything And the fact that you meant anything at all, was enough for me at all slow-ly under-standing this so called vacation will soon be my death, Im so sick of the drink I need home for a rest, take me home take me home take me home When you said that, what you needed was someone that understands the way you think So I listened, and you pleaded to break it down into these three simple things Then we waited, and conceded stop trying to make sense of this defeat Now it’s coming back, first colour, then black. But you don’t like what I’ve been painting but you got your blue dress on and I’m screaming out your name from a Montréal bridge in vain Slowly sensing something Hold my breath jump and I can’t fall Bail and blame it on the weather Old days, always better When letting you down for a hard time, was such a good time.

Didn't need to tell me Got the message on my own Doesn't mean I didn't have a plan Open my arms Let your life in It's cold and I'm breathing A place to begin No clumsy escape, no state that you're in 6 years and a month And we're back here again Wanted you to tell me, It wasn't them or thought control You came here begging all on your own To open your arms Let my life in Been looking for ages now turn yourself in While I'm hand to mouth You're counting degrees That I fucked this up You don't know where I've been Overstayed my welcome, Into the darkness on my own All the time convinced... ...it's over and over No dream to believe in A half finished sentence In people im seeing We don't believe in anything x2 A vicious circle twisting I'm in this tale spin on my own And happy to say I won't let you in I open my arms Let new life in 6 years and a month and the places I've been There's no looking back No cardinal sin Can keep me from thinking I won't fail again
