oh i'm sailin', yeah i'm sailin' on
oh i'm movin', yeah i'm movin' on
you don't want me anymore
so i just walk right out the door
i drove my car off the mountain
that's the only thing we'll ever ask for, who's counting?
i keep on waiting for times when we're fucking around
it's a fact, it's a fact of life
in the games, in the games of strife
oh i'm skatin', yeah i'm skatin' on
i keep moving, i will skate right along
i drove my car off the mountain
that's the only thing we'll ever ask for, who's counting?
i keep on waiting for times when we're fucking around

I'm with stupid
03:20

making a call in a crowd
climb follow, i'll just be here
had your mind up loud
didn't you? didn't you?
falling away from the rail
i can fix everything but just not this
make the most of the fullness of time
such a moment, a distinctive name
we finally figure out we don't know anything
gonna seem like they show a reason for it all
strong belief in a second chance
dumb luck, desire, stupidity
we finally figure out we don't know any thing
strong belief in a second chance
dumb luck: as good a reason as any
my parents went to florida, all i got was this shirt
i'm with stupid, and the mornings always hurt
wake up and take another look around
come on let's get a drink before they close

Turnaround
05:23

into the station, a town will close its eyes
up through the land of steady habits; girl, acclimatise
as you stagger down summit, my heart is beating too
reaching the end of a thing that you love: you should wait, you never do
and to change, oh you gave it your best
cover up every name with an x
turn around, we want you to come home
lose a friend at least you keep the photograph
made the decision, make them all the time
feel just the same moving from one state to the next, you'll find
little river waiting; adam, abel, you
founding the nation of all by yourself
see the groups we split into
and to change, oh you gave it your best
cover up every name with an x
turn around, we want you to come home
lose a friend at least you keep the photograph

If you're tired
03:26

If you're tired of throwing signs, sit and wait to go
It's your time do you want to count it?
Stop light, what do you know?
If you are that swingin guy, you kill yourself
If you love to make it, record time, it's something else
Call it life, I call it fine, shake on up to the show
Maybe we were built to last or maybe we'll never know
If you get a bright idea, keep it to yourself
If you think its getting small in here, it's something else

The word is lucky
03:25

somebody waiting outside for fiona
talking to her in the diner
list of cases, sudden nosebleeds
tension between attractive leads
late summer afternoon, just children
super powers are stronger
block out the feeling, block out the light
trick the day into submission
bus goes halfway home, we go all the way, does that make us lucky, make us see in helpful grey, we're too young to know the meaning of the word, thing that makes us lucky makes it worse
maybe you should release what you love?
you can't hold on til you break it
watching the clock in biology class
teenage restraint will just make you laugh
vision of boy and girlhood, dwelling underneath a respectable home
i'm always getting my hand deflected, truth is never as fun as you fear, so...
bus goes halfway home, we go all the way, does that make us lucky, make us see in helpful grey, we're too young to know the meaning of the word, thing that makes us lucky makes it worse

taking a life, i know you'll take whatever you need
special kind of emergency
many-splintered, world renowned
you miss us when we're not around
life as a power-down
sister sister another person is a weapon
clean my body in the field my fate has chosen
covering up, wildest dreams cannot even bestow
freedom of choice that you'll never know
could it be that … hard to say … burning skin ever lit the way
baptise in latte
sister sister another person is a weapon
times will change and if they don't we'll never see them
fallow, our blood has christened stones
fate, you intervene too late
