The Long Road

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing here for long, I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what? I did it, I admit it and I'm pleading the fifth
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing here for long, I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Eight minutes and I'm losing it a little bit
Five minutes and your description might be starting to fit
Three to go and I'm forgetting all that I've even know
I won't be standing up for long, I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing here for long, I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
I can't stand up at all
Can't see nothing at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why's what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me

When am I gonna learn
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't
No I don't
No I don't

Well no I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling

I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only telling half of it
That's probably 'cause there's only half worth telling
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yelling

When am I gonna learn
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No I don't
No I don't
No I don't

Well no I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling

I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only telling half of it
That's probably 'cause there's only half worth telling
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yelling

When am I gonna learn
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting

No I don't
No I don't
No I don't

Well no I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't
No I won't do this anymore

How the hell'd we wind up like this
And why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late

Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday somehow
I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that...

How the hell'd we wind up like this

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it

There's clothes all over the floor
Don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume isn't here
Why's lipstick on the mirror
Still I don't understand

No pictures left in the hall
There is three new holes in my wall
Where the hell's my credit cards
Why's my wallet in the yard
Still I don't understand

Well I guess I should've listened
When you said you had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why's love gotta be so tough

Should've seen the look on my face
My shits all over the place
Why's this happening to me
Why'd you take both sets of keys
And still I don't understand

Well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why's love gotta be so tough

And now I guessed I should've listened

There's clothes all over my floor
Don't remember them being here before
There are no candles in here
Lipstick still on my mirror
Still I don't understand

Now I guess I should've listened
When you said you had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why must life be so tough

Well I guess I should've listened
When you said you had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other
Why life gotta be so tough

I'm through thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Cause I needed you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead

Your turn, you'd rather leave than live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, I believe I'll leave it all behind
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Cause I needed you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
Cause I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Cause I needed you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead

I believe that you would leave me for
I believe you would leave
Me for dead, me for dead
I believe you would leave
Me for dead, me for dead

I'm through thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Cause I needed you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
Cause I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Cause I needed you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for
I believe you would leave
Me for dead , me for dead
I believe that you would leave
I believe that you would leave me for

Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

After hours and alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Party scenes and billboard dreams
The ladies love those limousines
You know they're going to show up every time

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
You know we're gonna light it up 'til we burn it down
