Hangover No closure Turn over, there you are Bad choices Loud noises And taking it way too far Seductress I can't focus You alter what I want Had my chance To cut it off Now we're back at the start I waste all my time Walking sacred lines With you on my mind Though I know that I need to let go, yeah And now that we've said goodbye And there's no more "one more time"s I start to wonder why Why I ever wanted to let go, yeah (You want me to think that you're wild?) (No...) (I promise I won't run away) Call me an addict Baby can I have it?

Lately i've been thinking Lately i've been dreaming with you I'm so resistent to this type of thinking Oh now it's shining through I was alone for the last time Before my nights' vacation with you Alive from the first now i'm denied By the ghost of you Oh you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please I know there's little use in crying It's more wide awake and dying than i'm used to I thought we'd walk these streets together Now i'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you Step aside from all this anger And somewhere in between I can feel you Ask me should we try again I'm thinking no yeah It's not what i believe in It's not what i believe in Oh, Won't you take yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me Please No I, wanna taste your love No I... no I No I, just wanna taste your love Oh, no I Standing in your shoes I turn And now you're standing bare in my doorway I only wish that I had been prepared I'm gonna have to go along with your way Just take the plastic camera out It's in the pants you borrowed in the driveway Alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you Make yourself a photograph & laugh at me please Yeah make yourself a photograph & laugh at me please No i want a taste of love no i I was alive from the first now i'm denied by the ghost of you
