"Hey, How can you think that of me? If you were in my shoes you’d see. When you’re not on top, it’s hard to breath” “Hey, I tried to see the bottom, but your hands covered my eyes” Remember when this didn’t hurt? Lies and conversations. One candle lit for two. Tears shed for Patience, making the red wine blue. “Hey, I’ve still got those habits you hate, and all of those promises made. he ones that were said right to my face” “Hey, I know I made a promise, but crossed fingers didn’t show” Remember when you told me none of this would ever hurt. Lies and conversations. One candle lit for two. Tears shed for Patience, making the red wine blue. They’re looking for something more, but nothings around the corner. Don’t they know they story is never as pretty as the cover? Lies and conversations. One candle lit for two. Tears shed for Patience, making the red wine blue.

How’s New York this year? Is your apartment perfect? Does everyone still kill for you? Or do they hear you cry for people that you hated, cuz they’re the ones that made you mine. Don’t say to me all the things that you wanted to. Just hold your breath and turn blue, and keep in the “I love you’s” Don’t say to me that you want me to hold you again, remember our first kiss and then, forget the knife in my back. Last I saw your name in flashing lights on Broadway, you thought that you have everything. Cuz you’ve moved on and I didn’t need to change much cuz I was always used to nothing. Don’t say to me all the things that you wanted to. Just hold your breath and turn blue, and keep in the “I love you’s” Don’t say to me that you want me to hold you again, remember our first kiss and then, forget the knife in my back. She fell back in the Atlantic and drowned herself in everything she knows, but she doesn't show She fell back in the Atlantic and drowned herself in everything she knows, but she doesn't show Don’t say to me all the things that you wanted to. Just hold your breath and turn blue, and keep in the “I love you’s” Don’t say to me that you want me to hold you again, remember our first kiss and then, forget the knife in my back.

I’ll bide my time make a career my life and live for my wife and five o’clock on Friday night. I'll say goodbye to summers meant for something bleed my pockets dry for poker nights on weekends. The only way to make it out alive is to close your eyes and hope you die. I’ll be watching home movies with a gun to my eye, but only if things don’t change. I’ll be six feet away. I’ll pay my dues and pay my debts in favors and things I use to fall asleep on Friday nights I’ll wake to find my pockets filled with nothing so say goodbye to poker nights on weekends The only way to make it out alive is to close your eyes and hope you die. I’ll be watching home movies with a gun to my eye, but only if things don’t change. I’ll be six feet away.

Keith won’t stop telling stories about Nebraska. She said she’s sick of boys, so she trades in her smile, if only, for a shirt at Bridgepointe, and that’s not right. Keith can’t stop writing letters back to Nebraska. He said she’s all alone, but she’s collateral damage in loving having life to live for, and that’s not right. If only she could be happy again, maybe this time she won’t pretend. She’s sick of halos that came and went. She’s staying up past midnight. LIVE FROM YOUR ROOM IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!! Keith won’t stop choking on his words. The same words she said he never meant, and now she’s waiting for a heartbreak or a happy ending, and that’s not right. Keith can’t stop sleeping by the phone because Nebraska knows that he’s all alone, but all he wants is a good night and a pleasant tomorrow, and that’s alright! LIVE FROM YOUR ROOM IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT! His bags are packed and he’s ready to go home to her. A one way ticket, and it won’t take too long to fall asleep in your arms or just one more night. one more night. LIVE FROM YOUR ROOM IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!
