I jumped the gun, way to many times to count
And everytime that I did, I let myself down
It got to the point where, that was ok by me
And I got to the point where, I should probably start to think about myself
Before I determined, what's so hazardous for everyone else.
Hold up, Wait Up, wait a minute so I can
Stop this, and Halt this, before this gets all out of hand
I'm not trying to, I just know that I'm going to
So when I come to my senses, don't say that I didn't warn you
And I control myself worse than anyone
That's probably most likely something I should work on
I hold on more than anyone could ever know
I've got this mental grip that doesn't know how to let anything go
Hold up, Wait Up, wait a minute so I can
Stop this, and Halt this, before this gets all out of hand
I'm not trying to, I just know that I'm going to
So when I come to my senses, don't say that I didn't warn you
Wait up, take this as your warning
I've never been to good at verbalizing warnings
All my life everybody tried to warn me
But this has warned me
Wore me out
Cut me out and you whittle away
At my heart from the start but not in a bad way
Wore me out
Cut me down from the middle
Little by little
Little by little
Hold up, Wait Up, wait a minute so I can
Stop this, and Halt this, before this gets all out of hand
I'm not trying to, I just know that I'm going to
So when I come to my senses, don't say that I didn't warn you
Isabella, Isabella, I heard you crying through the walls
What's the matter? What's the matter?
All the neighbors hear it down the hall
And I didn't want to be the first to say
Everyone around here thinks you're crazy
And I didn't want to be the first to say you shouldn't stay,
Isabella run away
All your heroes are your records,
You play 'em loud but I don't mind the noise.
Why ya hiding? Why you staying?
Maybe you don't think you have a choice.
And I didn't want to tell you face to face
That your mom and dad are straight up crazy
It's really hard for me to say that you shouldn't stay,
Isabella run away
Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger, come awake
Isabella run away.
Out the window of your bedroom, climb on down the fire escape.
I left some money and a ticket.
For the first time in your life don't be afraid
And baby I will be the first to say
You are stronger than you know, you'll find your way.
Isabella run away.
Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger, come awake
Isabella run away.
Isabella, Isabella
Isabella, Isabella
Don't you be afraid
It's never too late
You're a sleeping tiger, come awake
Isabella run away.
Do you remember when you and I
Were less than us and we
Covered up what little was left of me
And became one in the same
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can’t breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen
Whenever you go
We fell fast
Proved our fates wrong at last
With nothing left to show
We get up slow,
Learning less the more we know
It proves how long we’ll last
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can’t breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen
Whenever you go
Closer than before,
Further than I’ve ever been from anyone
Closer than before,
Further than I’ve ever been from anyone
Cover up, wrap your wrists in gauze
Fill your heart with cause
If it’s real or not, no
Cover up, wrap your wrists in gauze
Fill your heart with cause
If it’s real or not, no
The colors fading into nothing
The lines are blurring and escaping
I can’t breathe alone
You know, you know
The better part of me is stolen
Whenever you go.....
When I was younger,
I wish that I would have known better.
Better love makes a fat romance,
that lasts for more than a shoe shine.
Im older, took all the words of my mother, saying,
It could be worse,
could be born with that disease,
instead of catching it first.
So lets go back, to the first time,
that I met you, in your Chevy,
with your hands stretched,
and me crying, screaming, Mercy. Mercy.
But I know that, I was put here, to fight Vikings
in the cold war, with my arms out,
in the front lines, singing, Dare me. Dare me.
But these things take time love.
These things take backbone.
And theyll tell you what you want to hear
cause they think its better. Better.
But you better know how to point out the liars.
Youve got to weigh your wars make sure youre not fighting for nothing. Nothing.
Are you fighting for nothing?
It feels like this world has been
growing slowly upside down.
Maybe I should move to China,
and straighten this mess out.
Maybe Ill be a poet.
Watch all the sky for falling words.
And write about my grandmas curtains,
or the lady who put the Chinese buffet in her purse.
Ive got my mouth.
Its a weapon. Its a bombshell.
Its a cannon. Ive got my words.
I wont give them mercy. Mercy.
But these things take time love.
These things take backbone.
And theyll tell you what you want to hear
cause they think its better. Better.
But you better know how to point out the liars.
Youve got to weigh your wars make sure youre not fighting for nothing. Nothing.
Are you fighting for nothing?
Ive got my words. I hope they hurt you.
I hope they scar you. I hope they heal you.
I hope they cut you open,
make you see youve been warring
for all the wrong reasons.
Make you see that some things are worth bruising for.
Make you see that your name is your honor code.
Make you see that your hands youre accounted for.
Pick and choose where your sweat and your blood will go.
Make you see your lifes not to be lived alone.
Run their spit through your hair, youre worth nothing. Nothing.
But these things take time love.
These things take backbone.
And theyll tell you what you want to hear
cause they think its better. Better.
But you better know how to point out the liars.
Youve got to weigh your wars make sure youre not fighting for nothing. Nothing.
Are you fighting for nothing?
Since that clocks first tick,
a dark hue and fear driven...
It's only real till it ends...
As the stars fall on our hands...
call the wind the thief for stealing their prayers.
Look at us shake the sky.
Pulling the whites from my eyes...
and as the hands are spinning
they're waving you goodbye.
A test for more is what you're striving for.
As we sleep we walk.
Can't awake the ones who live this life,
not on our own...
cause people are the same, (we are the same)
only habits change (habits change)
but your starry eyes, no they don't tell me a thing...
staring over heavy heads...
Look at us shake the sky.
Pulling the whites from my eyes...
and as the hands are spinning
they're waving you goodbye.
A test for more is what you're striving for.
As we sleep we walk.
I swear, I felt you crawling under my skin...
I swear, oh I swear.
Towers won't fit our view...
forget the man in the mountains follows you...
he follows you.
But your starry eyes, no they don't mean a thing...
As we sleep we walk.
And dont go to bed yet love, I think its too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
If my wall clock tells me that it's 4 in the morning I'll give it hell
Cause Ive been trying way too long
To try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldnt have to bear alone
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When youre all that I think about
All that I dream about
Howd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon
And sing for me softly love your song for tomorrow
And tell my names the one thats hidden in there somewhere
And dream for me anything
But dream it in color about when all the suns still rising and we dont care
Cause Ive been trying way too long
To try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldnt have to bear alone
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When youre all that I think about
All that I dream about
Howd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon
From goodnight moon
And there you were
As I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air
Just feel her lips lock on to every breath I take, cant breath it in
Do you feel us falling? Cause I feel us falling.
So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When youre all that I think about
All that I dream about
Howd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you
The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon
Oh goodnight moon
And there you were
I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air
Do you feel us falling? Cause I can feel us falling
