You burned out all the cigarettes Watching James Dean films on a monochrome screen But I guess it doesn't look right When everyone around you sucks The life out of your lifeline The truth comes out in due time But the vibe you felt at first, and I ignored it Oh, I know, hoo-ooh I caught the high that you don't seem To care about the things I say Ooh-ooh (you don't care about the things I say) And I severed ties with things that serve Me no purpose anyway Ooh-ooh (serve me no purpose anyway) And I kiss the sky 'cause there's no Looking back from where we came (there's no) Woo-ooh (looking back from where we came, oh, no, oh, no) And I felt alive, and I would do it again Anyway, woo-ooh Any, anyway You change shapes just to fit right in And I'm talking shit, where do I begin? And I guess it doesn't look right But when everyone around you just Disappears into the nighttime (nighttime, nighttime) You'll get yours in due time (you'll get yours in due time) For the nights you were a jerk and I ignored it Oh, I know, ooh I caught the high that you don't seem to care About the things I say Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh (you don't care about the things I say) And I severed ties with things that serve me No purpose anyway Oh-woo-hoo-hoo-hoo (serve me no purpose anyway) And I kiss the sky 'cause there's no Looking back from where we came (There's no looking back from where we came) Woo (oh, no, oh, no) And I felt alive, and I would do it again Anyway, hoo-ooh (why won't you?) Anyway (won't you, why won't you? Anyway, anyway) Anyway (I would do it again) (Anyway, anyway) woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I would do it again) (Anyway, anyway) ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Grew up together in the neighbourhood She never noticed that he looked so good He told her, "All I do is dream of you," oh yeah No, she had never seen in her wildest dreams Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean Big plans they made in a small hometown No chance to leave would really bring him down A crazy rebel with a cause, he was for sure, oh yeah Oh, she had never seen in her wildest dreams Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean He writes her letters from around the world Says he loves her and she's still his girl Maybe he'll come back, don't know when Oh, she'll never see her baby again He's got the whole world in his hands And she was Alice in his wonderland Oh, they had dreams, but now he has it all, yeah No, she had never seen in her wildest dreams Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean She was the diamond of his eyes And she would always be right by his side But good guys only win in the movies, yeah Oh, she had never seen in her wildest dreams Blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean He writes her letters from around the world Says he loves her and she's still his girl Maybe he'll come back, don't know when Oh, she'll never see her baby again Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh

Fall back, balancing Tightrope on a silver string I'm sweet grenadine As I fade, fade away (come back) Fade away (come back) Fade away (come back) Come on, take a ride with me High off emergency But take everything, everything wrong And make everything, everything Color of the sky with me Something that you'd never see You make everything, everything right You make everything, everything Fade away (come back) Fade away (come back) Bright lights circling One way on a laser beam Live fast on the new James Dean As I fade, fade away (come back) Fade away (come back) Fade away Come on, take a ride with me High off emergency But take everything, everything wrong And make everything, everything Color of the sky with me Something that you'd never see You make everything, everything right You make everything, everything Come back Come back Fade away (come back) Fade away

A broken railroad crossing sign I didn't stop, I crossed the line There's tons of steel and plastic seats And people coming right for me A broken sign, an empty seat Your ghost is staring right at me And I'm too scared to say a thing The endless aching life will bring You won't pick up the phone I'm worried you're alone And I'm worried I'm a thief Caught up in another scheme I won't pick up the phone When I need to be alone Stealing someone's dreams And I'm caught up in another stupid scene We don't find love We learn to get tough We don't find love We learn to get tough A broken railroad crossing sign I didn't stop, I crossed the line There's tons of steel and plastic seats And people coming right for me A broken sign, an empty seat Your ghost is staring right at me And I'm too scared to say a thing The endless aching life will bring Child of an alcoholic Running out of things to call it Running out of time I never had the time (A broken railroad crossing sign) We don't find love We learn to get tough (I didn't stop, I crossed the line) We don't find love We learn to get tough

You only show up in my head when I can't sleep And I used to think I could see you In different cities And I'm letting go, but I'd like to know About a handful of nights When a couple things felt right About a handful of days When all we could say was goodbye And I'm letting go, but I'd like to know I know this is growing up I'm starting to see But now when I see you my throat closes up I can't breathe It's only getting worse in this garbage universe But there was a handful of nights When a couple things felt right There was a handful of days When all we could say was goodbye There's nothing to let go There's nothing left to know About a handful of nights When a couple things felt right About a handful of days When all we could say was goodbye

All the hours spent absorbing static light Slowly accumulate, a ledger that defines The total worth and value of a life Spinning circles And all the promises so confidently made To a quiet friend under a quiet grave Of mountains to be moved Potential not to waste To be constructive What a disappointment All the hours lost to self-directed hate Slowly pile up 'til you can't bear the weight But it's only the brain's worst chemicals Talking fake And that falling sky is just this desert's rain And that ticking bomb is just the body's way Of spelling out in Morse code "This could be okay" And I know you made a choice A different one than mine And I know that that's your right And I know you'll be just fine And I kind of wish you had The same respect for mine But I don't want to fight Because I know I'll be just fine In time And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us

It's funny you should ask me why I never visit home It's just awkward that your company makes me feel more alone And I'm tired of pretending nothing's wrong We used to get our laughs in the cheapest fucking ways It never seemed mean but I've been thinking back these days And I'm the one that changed Sometimes I wish you could do the same I've been trying to wash these words off of my lips Find something honest to replace them with And I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it, and you don't have to get it And I wish you wouldn't ask about my best laid plans You wouldn't like the answer if I had one And your disappointed looks always keep me on the hook But I refuse to die for that This isn't what you want, but this isn't about you I'm just trying to flush the suburbs from my blood And I'm scared that you're the person I'll become And I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it And you don't have to get it You just have to respect it I'm just trying to clean the garbage from my floor Or maybe just hide behind my door I don't hate you I just know you'll never get it We'll probably just forget it
