And I've known a girl like you before She pulled sad words out of my mouth But when my eyes close out the light The vision of you is my first sight Tie back the locks of silky hair Remove the makeup from your eyes Let me see that there's a real you beneath the carefree LA disguise Why would you be anything but impossible to read Why would you go out of your way to show attention to me Why should I expect any of this is worth it Why do I expect more from you I only expect less The crazy idea this song represents Is the pattern of our relationships We strive to learn from past mistakes If only for our sanity's sake Maybe it's not a pattern at all But my type is just incompatible So I yearn to make more of my life than simply searching for a wife Music is the air hole poked in the box I'm sitting in Music is a glass of water after an all night smoking binge Music is the release when a girl I like raises doubt Music is my only way out Music is my only way out Yeah I've known a girl like you before I won't let sad words slip from my mouth I'll stop this while we're still good Stripping your ability to try to opt out I'll end this song on happy tones Music is more to me than you'll know Music is life It keeps me going through good times and bad And through all the lovers I'll have

The Breakup 03:49
There's a lot of things in this world that you fear And some of those are words that I'm gonna say and you'll hear Tonight Tonight You dream in poetry So let me change this prose Thou shalt feel more complete Whence this green poison packs up and goes tonight Tonight Clouds dance Waves break Sunsets Sunrise And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you This has gone on too long I hope sleep finds me tonight An unexplainable decline with the best girl of my life And you ask where it went wrong My truth won't satisfy you Do I blame my mouth or my heart for not saying I love you too Cars chase Winds race Birds wings take flight Yeah And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you But I've got to be strong Rebounds are bound to fall through Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired And the things in this world that remind me of you But I've got to be strong Rebounds are bound to fall through Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired And the things in this world that remind me of you And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about you Ooh

Girls' Name 03:36
Your hair is brown Your eyes are green Your beauty in this town Is commonly seen But if you look my way I'll sing a song that'll make you stay This means nothing to you You're pretty You know that's true Despite your insecurity the love will come to you I sing my highest note Your head turns toward the stage You dream a quick fantasy That's the closest you'll get to me But if you look my way I'll sing a song that'll make you stay This means nothing to you You're pretty You know that's true Despite your insecurities the love will come to you But don't you look my way You'll waste a dream A wasted dream on me Don't don't you look my way You'll waste a dream One wasted dream on me And this means nothing to you You're pretty You know that's true Despite your insecurities the love will come to you And this means nothing to you You're pretty You know that's true yeah Despite your insecurities the love will come to you The love will come to you The love will come to you

We said goodbye for a second time But this time it might be for good Snow Patrol escapes my open car door I lost part of myself with a goodbye kiss where we stood To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry These lyrics are blasting from my radio Yeah We said goodbye for a second time But this time it might be for good Snow Patrol escapes my open car door I lost part of myself with a goodbye kiss where we stood To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry These lyrics are blasting from my radio And I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away I just can't stand it You know I just can't stand it What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way I just won't stand for it You know I just won't stand for it Let's dream of serendipity And for the years to reunite us And for our chemistry to stay Yeah I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away I just can't stand it You know I just can't stand it What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way I just won't stand for it You know I just won't stand for it I'm sitting home only a few hundred miles away I just can't stand it You know I just can't stand it What am I gonna do when a few thousand stand in my way I just won't stand for it You know I just won't stand for it No I won't stand for it No I won't stand for it We said goodbye for a second time But this time it might be for good

1 2 3 4 I'm tired of these dead end flings This LA dating scene don't mean a thing I'm actually hearing potential in your voice Holding your eyes We said our goodbyes And I thought about the taste of your lips on mine And it's good that I'm nervous It means that I want this And I'm not gonna stray from this course And it's clear I've got feelings For this flattery I'm dealing So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours Tired of these dead end flings This LA dating scene don't mean a thing I'm seeing a girlfriend as I'm making you laugh I'm holding your eyes We said our goodbyes And I thought about the feel of your body on mine And it's good that I'm nervous It means that I want this And I'm not gonna stray from this course And it's clear I've got feelings For this flattery I'm dealing So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours And you're patient And I'm nervous cuz I'm not seeing you that zealous So I'll wait for the signs to show through And I'll act like I'm not anxious So you'll think maybe he doesn't want this And you'll want what you can't have And I'll have you And it's good that I'm nervous Cuz it means that I want this And I'm not gonna stray from this course And it's clear I've got feelings For this flattery I'm dealing So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours And it's good that I'm nervous (I'm nervous too) It means that I want this (I want this too) And I'm not gonna stray from this course And it's clear I've got feelings (I'm appreciating) For this flattery I'm dealing (All the things you said to me) So just learn to like the nice guy and I'm yours

The clouds are on fire I watched it begin No sign of a spark They embered from within Air recycles so we breathe it again Catching sleep's harder to do than say Plug your ears and let the music begin When you wake it's a brand new day One ten left to go The east coast welcomes me home Short term friends are made I've got some of my own One ten left to go The east coast welcomes me home Short term friends are made I've got long term friends of my own Rest comes easier now Formations begin to burn The world revolves below me To leave me with memories Put your favorite records on And we'll scream the lyrics at the top of our lungs Let's get high and catch a movie tonight So we can laugh about it when we talk about it later One ten left to go The east coast welcomes me home Short term friends are made I've got some of my own One ten left to go The east coast welcomes me home Short term friends are made I've got long term friends of my own Yeah To all my friends that have been close to me Where would our lives be without each other Without each other All my friends that have been close to me Where would our lives be without each other Without each other And all my friends that have been close to me Where would our lives be without each other Without each other All my friends where would our lives be Where would our lives be And her name was Sydney I guess it still is I like to call her heartbreak What's love to mere kids If you knew her you'd laugh Hers was contagious She'd say something in French Or make fun of someone famous She will make you happy to be right where you are Even though she might have drunkenly wrecked your car Oh Sydney where are you tonight Just come with me Let's be witness to the end of this If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go Times together would be the ones I'd miss Oh Sydney if you only knew I've wasted life writing about you I'm starting to believe that you don't exist Four score and seven years from now you'll be the one I miss She will make you happy to be right where you are While you lie together and fake the names of stars That's constellations Oh Sydney where are you tonight Just come with me Let's be witness to the end of this If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go Times together would be the ones I'd miss No Sydney where are you tonight Just come with me Let's be witness to the end of this If I could find you I would keep you and never let you go Times together would be the ones I'd miss No No No No You are the most gorgeous girl in the room You smile when I tell you this I haven't heard half the things you said I'm lost in your eyes They open wider when I say this I haven't met a woman who steals my breath as you do And I catch you looking at my lips And you know the rest You are the most gorgeous girl in the room You smile when I tell you this I haven't heard half the things you said I'm lost in your eyes They open wider when I say this I haven't met a woman who steals my breath as you do And I catch you looking at my lips And you know the rest You know the rest The rest
