Heartless Without You - Taking back Sunday Lyrics

A Decade Under The Influence

Sad, Small, sweet, so delicate
We used to be this dying breed
(I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this)

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window...
(I got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about...)

Who's to say you'll have to go? (I could go all night)
Well say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Sad, small sure in porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck (when It comes to this)
(I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this)

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window
(I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about...)

Who's to say you'll have to go? (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all...)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well I got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)
I got a bad feeling about...

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your
friends, it's on).
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your
friends, it's on)
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this
I got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your
friends, it's on)
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, I am...)
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, I am...)
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, I am...)
I got a bad feeling about this (in you, I am...)
I got it bad (yeah)
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad

Bonus Mosh Pt. 2

So, scream I heard about your message,
And how it reeks of your indifference,
Simply tied horizontal straight from your wrists.
(So scream louder now)
I'm bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
But can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders,
C'mon say it...

[Chorus]
Well, it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, it's love (It's love)
Make it hurt (I deserve it)
Well, it's love, it's love, it's love...
Make it hurt.

I said I use the inconsistencies
That undress the machine,
You're the poster boy, their selling point, the focus for their
new campaign.
(Something has to be)
Bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
Oh, but can't you, can't you feel it rolling off your lips,
Tensing up your shoulders, c'mon...

[Chorus]

The keys to the castle
(Are right where I left them)
The princess walked in just to take more attention,
'Cause after all, well isn't that all that I've been after and,

After all, well isn't that all that I'm after,
You're so...

(No way out) I give up in you, well, I give up in you,
(No way out) I give up in you.
(No way out) Well, I give up in you, I give up in you,
(No way out) Well, I give up in you.

I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
If that's what you wanted to hear,
(Well, if that's what you wanted to hear)
I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,
(If that's what you wanted to hear)
I wanted you for nothing more,
Than hating you for what you were,
(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,
(If that's what you wanted to hear)
(It's love, it's love) I wanted you for nothing more,
(Make it hurt, I deserve it) Than hating you for what you were,

(If that's what you wanted to hear)
That's what you wanted to hear,
(To hear) If that's what you wanted to hear.
(If that is how you'll let it burn)

Follow The Format

make a big scene
make this glass house my coffin
you missed the big picture
well it’s the words that you’re coughing out on your sleeve
so forge my sins here in song
well i'm telling you now what you’ve known all along
and it’s tired, so true, more subtle than you
there’s a lull in the stereo
it’s calling for you (calling for you)
it’s calling for you

well i'm a slave to my vices (it’s true)
they’ve all been renamed as a crutch
so drag my name and my face through the mud
flattery can flatter me (flattery can flatter me)
showing just how vicious you could be
do what you came here to do (do what you came here to do)
trigger finger gets you pointed in the right direction
my new found discretion

it’s not a lie if you believe it
it’s no mistake if it’s always repeated
it’s not a lie if you believe it
it’s no mistake if it’s always repeated

shall we call it quits or just wait? (it’s not a lie if you
believe it)
even, even if my last name rhymes with your rescue of hear say
do not say you know (it’s no mistake if its repeated)
call me out
it’s not a lie (it’s such a lie)
but I don’t need to hear it from you
so what’s another word for (i don’t need to hear it from you)
what’s another word for (don’t need to hear it from you)
what’s another word for (i don’t need to hear it from you)
what’s another word for (don’t need to hear it from you)
it gets easier with doses of time (easier with doses of time)
easier with doses of time (easier with doses of time)
easier with doses of time (easier with doses of time)
easier with doses of time (easier with doses of time)
Show us just how vicious you could be

Go On

i met a girl traveling 'round the world, leaving pieces behind
she said she'd wait for me, i can't make her see that she's
called to other
skies
i can't be her place to hide

it's comin' up, it's comin' up again (live here long to make her
stay)
and what are you doin' in my head? and why did you call me when
you're dead!?
(go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building
castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say
good-night and never
say good-bye

maybe in another time, you could have been mine
expand your wings and fly and look to the sky

it's comin' up, (don't forget to write me) it's comin' up again
indulge in everything you'll see (what are you doin' in my
head?)
and why did you call me when you're dead!? (go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building
castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say
good-night and never
say good-bye

so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be
so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be (go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building
castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say
good-night and never
say good-bye

expand your wings and fly and look to the sky
expand your wings and fly

Just Like Heaven

Well show me show me
show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy air
I kiss your face and kiss your head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To let her know
Why are you so far away? she said
Won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
Yeah I'm in love with you

You
Soft and lonely
You
Lost and only
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Existing in the world
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight whipped me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips can breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone upon a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Lost and only
You
Soft and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Lost And Found

We were only 15
I let her go like paper air planes
How can I explain
That Im lost without you around

What If I never lost you
I wouldnt have to find you all over and over
(over and over)
Your the one Ive, Ive always wanted
The one that I just cant live without

No one understands
The meaning of your eyes
And how I feel
Burning deep inside

What If I never lost you
I wouldnt have to find you all over and over
(over and over)
Your the one Ive, Ive always wanted
The one that I just cant live without

Get the flyers up
Have you seen the girl with my heart on her sweater
Get the flyers up
Have you seen the girl with my heart on her sweater
my heart on her sweater
Send her on my way
Send it here to stay

Sending light just like a star
Tell me where you are
Where you are
Sending light just like a star
When you come to me
Come today
Embrace me and break me
Embrace me and break me so go
Your lost without
Your lost without
Your lost and found
Your lost and found

One Way Conversation

One by one
The children laugh and stare
At the boy down the road that nobody knows and nobody cares
He doesn't look like the rest of them
Cause he won't dress like the rest of them
No one cares about the boy on Nothing Street

In between the light of day
He wants more than anything
In between the light of day
To find his way out of here

Dinner conversation passes him right by
No one cares about his stories they call them lies
Dreams he'll find his way
Dreams of being on stage
Nobody cares he's finding his was up Nothing Street

In between the light of day
He wants more than anything
In between the light of day
To find his way out of here
In between the light of day
He thinks he's going to make it
In between the light of day
If he could only take it

This is the time
This is the place
We all go our seperate ways
No turning back
This is the time
This is the place
We all go our seperate ways
No turning back
No turning back
No turning
You're going to be a star someday
You're going to be a star someday
You tell me
Someday

Set Phasers To Stun

Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze
Just nine more minutes, please..
(And they) They all know where to find me
Every word that I said, what a big mistake
And the ones you left out are keeping me away

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like it's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Well theres a secret I've been perfecting,
I swore I wouldn't but you let me
I'm comfortably confused
(and you...) You've gotten so removed
You know I, I could take the place of those pills
Ocean blue, paint it white
Now who ya gonna call tonight?

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like it's where you wanna be.
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)

We paint our sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept
(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)

If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying? (We paint our
sins on the ceiling),
I might give it up, if you just keep trying (Well I keep them
glued to my chest),
If I talk in my sleep, if I talk in my sleep, it's gone (It
keeps me close like a promise kept).
(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)

Like its where you wanna be

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

Make Damn Sure

            you've got this new head filled up with smoke
            I got my veins all tangled close
            to the jukebox bars you frequent
            the safest place to hide
            a long night spent with your most obvious weakness
            you start shaking at the thought
            you are everything i want
            cause you are everything i'm not

            and we lay, we lay together
            just not, too close, too close
            (how close is close enough?)
            we lay, we lay together
            just not too close, too close

            i just wanna bring you down so badly
            well i trip over everything you say
            i just wanna bring you down so badly
            in the worst way

            well my inarticulate store bought
            hangover hobby kit it talks (talks)
            and it says, "you oh, you are so cool"
            scissor shaped across the bed
            you are red, violent red
            you hollow out my hungry eyes
            you hollow out my hungry eyes

            and we lay, we lay together
            just not too close, too close
            (how close is close enough?)
            we lay, we lay together
            just not too close, too close

   Understanding In A Car Crash

                        splintered piece of glass falls in the seat and gets
                        caught
                        these broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth
                        we lost
                        in trying so hard to look away from you
                        we followed white lines to the sunset
                        i crash my car everyday the same way

                        time to let this pass
                        (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
                        time runs through our veins
                        (it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
                        we don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
                        (the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
                        staring at he setting sun
                        no reason to come back again
                        the twilight world in blue and white
                        the needle and the damage done
                        i don't want to feel this way forever
                        a dead letter makred return to sender

                        the broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
                        its two hands still point to the same time
                        12:03 our last goodbye
                        so push the seats back a little further
                        i can see the headlights coming
                        so push the seats back a little further
                        roll the widows down and take a breath
                        i can see the headlights coming
                        they paint the world in red and broken glass

                        staring at he setting sun
                        no reason to come back again
                        the twilight world in blue and white
                        the needle and the damage done
                        i don't want to feel this way forever
                        a dead letter makred return to sender

                        the spinning hubcaps set the tempo
                        for the music of a broken window
                        when the cameras on and the cameras click
                        we open up the len

           Eleven

I can remember parking lot nights
What did they mean to you?
Wrapping my arms around your body
protecting and holding you
Holding you

Looking inside of my eyes
It was such a big surprise
You've gone and done it again
Does he love you like I can?
Like I can

Maybe it wasn't good enough, but I gave you all I could
Would he stay up late when you can't sleep?
Cause baby i would (i would)
And baby i could (i could)

And you're the grim reaper standing down, and letting me feel this way
With your sweet whispers that never told me you'd leave me this way
(this way)
You'd leave me this way (this way)

If you told me you were happy
If you told me that you miss me
Is it something that I can't see
It's something I can't be
Something I can't be

(If you told me)
(IF YOU TOLD ME)

Maybe it wasn't good enough, but I gave you all I could
Would he stay up late if you can't sleep
Cause baby I would (I would)
(Good Enough, Good Enough, GOOD ENOUGH)

This Photograph is Proof (I Know, You Know)

Well, i'll wait till you listen
I wont say a word
to follow your instincts
just never worked for me
your silent but strong, (yeah, I'm playing that card)
and your noticing nothing again

Now I'm lying on the table
with everything you said
keep that in mind the way that it felt
when the most I could do was to just blame myself

(yeah, I'm playing that card)
when the most I could do was to just blame myself
and I know, you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it

I know, you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't mean it (remember more then youd like to forget)

So, we're talking forever
and you almost feel better
but, betters no excuse for tonight
you see, it's never bad enough
to just leave or give up
but, its never good enough to feel right

Now I'm lying on the table
with everything you said
it will all catch up eventually
well, it caught up and honestly
the weight of my decisions
were impossible to hold
but they were never yours
they were never yours

Well I know, you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it

I know, you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't meant it (remember more then youd like to forget)

Drop everything, start it all over
remember more then youd like to forget [x2]

Would you like to forget
would you like to forget
drop everything, start it all over
well drop everything start it all over (would you like to forget)
drop everything start it all over
start it all...

Well I know, you know, everything
I know you didnt mean it
I know you didnt mean it

I know, you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didnt mean it (start it all over)
I know you didnt meant it (remember more then youd like to forget)

I know, you know
I know, you know...you know, you know, you know...

Timberwolves At New Jersey Lyrics

Get up, get up
Come on, come on, let's go,
There?s just a few things
I think that you should know
Those words at best
were worse than teenage poetry
Fragment ideas,
and too many pronouns,
Stop it, come on
You?re not making sense now
You can't make them want you
They're all just laughing

Literate and stylish (literate and stylish)
Kissable and quiet (kissable and quiet)
Well that's what girls' dreams are made of
And that's all you need to know (that?s all you need to know)
You have it or you don't (you have it or you)
You have it or you (don't)

You have it or you
You see how much time you're wastin?
You're coward of seperatin

Stop it, come on
you know I can?t help it
I got the mic
and you got the mosh pit
What will it take
to make you admit that you were wrong?
Was his demise so carefully constructed?
Well let's just say I got what I wanted
Cause in the end it?s always the same (you're still gone)
Lets go

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue
And my eye through the scope
down the barrel of a gun.
Remind me not to ever act this way again.
This is you trying hard to
make sure that you're seen
With a girl on your arm
and your heart on your sleeve.
Remind me not to ever think of you again.
This is me with the words
on the tip of my tongue
And my eye through the scope
down the barrel of a gun.
Remind me not to ever act this way again
Again

This is me with the words
on the tip of my tongue
And my eye on the scope
down the barrel of a gun
I'll never act this way again

Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know)
you've had your chance and folded
Don't hold your breath
because you'll only make things worse
Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know)
you've had your chance and folded
Don't hold your breath
because you'll only make things worse

(I know somethin that you don't know)
This is me with the worse intentions, don't
(I know somethin that you don't know)
Hold your, hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
(I know somethin that you don't know)
Hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
Hold your breath
Because you'll only make things worse
(I know somethin that you don't know)

Don't hold your breath because you?ll only make things worse!

The Things We'll Never Know

One more time in this game we play
Sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Placing pieces in the floor
Of all the things that we loved before

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

Hate me now so I can move on
Make it easier to see that you're gone
All the things they're gone too
Turn and changed into memories

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

New York City streets with friends by your side
Telling stories in words who've left us behind
All the things we'll never say
Leaving like puddles in the rain

Like puddles[x2]
in the rain

We wash away[x3]

Like puddles[x2]
in the rain
