Take me for granted she said, oh take advantage, I've grown to know the touch of a man
Break me right down to the ground, you know it's what I want, I'm not like everyone else
Fake me lie to me lovely, tell me you love me, cause I need it now, and I go
Crazy when I'm all alone I fear I'm chasing a ghost when you're not around
I'm so heavy on you
I'm so ready for you
Meet me down by the lake, I think it's time to be saved, and it's your favourite place
Teach me just how to be hard, I've always found it impossible to hide my heart
Treat me like I'm everyone else, I've never needed attention, I'm aware of myself
Read me like a page from a book cause you're the only one who took a closer look
I'm so heavy on you
I'm so ready for you
We're only here for the moment she said
So for the moment I'm alive as can be

Last Night

She ain't got no money but she knows how to spend it
She'd jump off any bridge if any one of her friends did
And she thinks nothing's beautiful unless it's expensive
And I know she's done you wrong but she'll play the defensive
Amazing at manipulating, maybe she meant it
Cause those eyes could drive any boy straight senseless
And she gets what she wants where she wants when she wants it
She's never told a lie but she's never honest
She'll give you her word but you know she'll never keep her promise
And I don't know how we ended up here again
I tried so hard just to keep you out of my head
But it wasn't enough to keep you out of my bed
Cause you think you're so cool with your nose up and your mouth tight
But my love you're only beautiful on the outside
And you've mistaken pity for envy for the last time
And I can't play these games baby this is my last night
And she's a little bit pretentious, little egotistic
I tried to show her the point but of course she missed it
These days her selfish ways they're blocking her vision
And she'll tell you that she loves you, just like everyone else
Cause they're just words to her, they've got no meaning or wealth
And I don't think she quite understands just how feelings are felt
Cause you think you're so cool with your nose up and your mouth tight
But my love you're only beautiful on the outside
And you've mistaken pity for envy for the last time
And I can't play these games baby this is my last night

Bumps and Bruises

And I know you feel like you've been beaten
But you're far from left behind
And I know that you're feeling just a little defeated
But we put everything on the line to make sure we'd be just fine
Aren't you too old now to still be afraid of the dark?
I must say, although we've grown, I'm still afraid of being alone
I watched the weight of your shoulders damn near break in your heart
But you kept your head up when it hit so close to home
Let it go, let it go, you're only human
I know it's so hard to forget
And I know that it's so much more than bumps and bruises
But don't look back on past regrets
How is it so easy for some people to say
Don't worry they're in a better place
When they've never known the same
Such a shame, I really do wish there was a better way
But I hope you know you're surrounded by love and you'll be okay
Let it go, let it go, you're only human
I know it's so hard to forget
And I know that it's so much more than bumps and bruises
But don't look back on past regrets

Lose

I remember you so bashful, the queen of her locked castle
But in the morning, you were so damn charming and adoring
You never loved the spotlight, but you grew out of your stage fright
That voice came out, and oh, look at you now, you're so profound
It's not what you might need then, but what you want right now
Cause sometimes things don't go just how you plan them out
And if you'd take me back I guess I'll take you too
Because at this point, what do we have to lose?
And you're honest in the worst way, astonishing at word play
I love that you can love yourself just like I used to do
And it's been so long and so much has changed
But you still feel so close, so do you feel the same?
It's not what you might need then, but what you want right now
Cause sometimes things don't go just how you plan them out
And if you'd take me back I guess I'll take you too
Because at this point, what do we have to lose?
Forget what you might need then, what do you want right now?
Cause you know things never go just how you plan them out
And if you'd take me back, I'd love to take you too
Because at this point, what do we have to lose?

It's been a long time coming my way
It's like a heart stop slap in the face
The more I give the less I get
So I'll trade my love in for respect
It's been a long time since you've been around
Heard you were packing up and getting out of town
I got nothing holding me here either
Guess I got no reason for me kickin about
So here we are on our way to the world
Such an ugly place but such a beautiful girl
I thought I'd lost my way
But you held me close and kept my head on straight
Now the monsters come from under the bed
We've got a closet full of skeletons and heavy heads
But keep on moving and we'll be just fine
Baby keep on grooving and we'll chase the time
We're far from home, but not alone, she said to me
Your words have truth, just like you do, so set them free
We've been so much, we're so in touch, and still in bloom
We'll find peace, once we find the sea, we'll find the truth
I said hey pretty lady, pretty baby, let me buy you a drink
Won't you come over close and teach me how to swing
We've had a long day of running around
I think we've lost them now, let's settle down
And in the morning we'll be ready to go
You're all strapped up from head to toe
I've never seen you like that
You've honestly got me eating out the palm of your hand
I think you're oh so pretty, oh so charming, and oh so witty
But let me do the talking cause we're nearly there but we're barely walking
We're barely breathing, so please pretty please say it like you meant it
We're oh so close but another false step'll have us up on the ropes
We're far from home, but not alone, she said to me
Your words have truth, just like you do, so set them free
We've been so much, we're so in touch, and still in bloom
We'll find peace, once we find the sea, we'll find the truth
