The Boy - Empress Orchestra

Words that pull the trigger fear the laughing sound Haunts you to consider love might turn you around To face a blind emotion words like 'hey, let's try' Words like think it over they just don't apply I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) Love is what you make it, love the overflow Play if you can take it some they just don't know If all the rules they are making, break somebody's heart What's the use in taking babies fall apart I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) Realize that love is just is just a word That goes unheard in a situation Of exploration Where love is nothing and you are all I can see This boy's in love with you You're everything I can see This boy's in love with you You have taken it all away from me Words that pull the trigger fear the laughing sound Haunts you to consider love might turn you around To face a blind emotion words like 'hey let's try' Words like think it over they just don't apply I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy)

Even good love feels like drugs Even good nights get you high Little bit wild but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Even good love feels like drugs Even good times get you high Little bit lost but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Pleasure is pain and the pain is pleasure Grass won't grow with no rainy weather We keep Flippin coins for luck and We're just Trying to ease the suffering Broke a heart first and my own got shattered Never one tear really ever mattered World keeps on turnin' And we all keep learning that Even good love feels like drugs Even good nights get you high Little bit wild but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Even good love feels like drugs Even good times get you high Little bit lost but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Rounding corners High and low ones Can't have one without the other Jumping into neon-colored feelings Without feeling all the Broken cords that came before Sidewalks where you hit the floor Windows close but there's a door That's how it always goes Yeah the world keeps on turning And we all keep learning Yeah we all keep learning that Even good love feels like drugs Even good nights get you high Little bit wild but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Even good love feels like drugs Even good times get you high Little bit lost but it's alright Even bright lights got a dark side Dark side Dark side Ah ah ah Even bright lights got a Dark side Dark side Ah ah ah Dark side Dark side Ah ah ah Even bright lights got a Dark side Dark side Ah ah ah

Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than the change in the weather Sitting in a uniform of a three-piece suit and the ribbons from his past Looking for a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks his clever now Dreaming of a day that he goes home from a war to his childhood sweetheart Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him Just a feeling of an empty place deteriorating Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than I'm bound to ever A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart Dreaming of a day that's oh so long ago, that he can't remember right There was a time a man can still be a man and be proud to use his heart Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him There was really only one Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line 'em up and he puts them down It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him No he don't feel any more 'cause jimmy's so thick-skinned And a long long time ago, when he could break her heart There was really only one Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line em up and he puts em down Its sad this town seems to fail to appreciate what he's about Line 'em up and he puts them down It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man
