The All-American Rejects

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
Go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
Go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It’s eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know?
who has to know?

Now we’re broken on the floor,
She just wants me to share her.
It hasn’t been this way before,
She just wants me to dare her.

The phone rings (The phone rings),
And she screams:
"Stab my back,
It’s better when I bleed for you.
Walk on me,
There never was enough to do."

I can’t get past her,
Falling faster,
It's true.
It hasn’t done a lot for you.

And every time he held you close,
Yeah, were you thinking of me?
When I needed you the most,
Well I hope that you’re happy.

The phone rings (The phone rings),
When she screams:
"Stab my back,
It’s better when I bleed for you.
Walk on me,
There never was enough to do."

I can’t get past her,
Falling faster,
It's true.
It’s better when I bleed for you.

[INSTRUMENTAL SOLO]

I hope that love he gave you,
Was just enough to save you.
You nearly broke my heart,
Just look at what you’re tearing apart!

Stab my back,
It’s better when I bleed for you.
Walk on me,
There never was enough to do.

I can’t get past her,
Falling faster,
It's true.
It hasn’t done a lot for you.

It’s better when I bleed for you.
It never was enough to do.
It hasn’t done a lot for you.

Move along
Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]
(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can’t explain myself at all.
And all the wants
And all the needs
All I don’t want to need at all.
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
When darkness tu
s to light,
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
A falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can’t explain what you can’t explain.
You’re finding things that you didn’t know
I look at you with such disdain
The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.
[Chorus]
When darkness tu
s to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won’t make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Now I’m on my own side
It’s better than being on your side
It’s my fault when you’re blind
It’s better that I see it through your eyes
All these thoughts locked inside
Now you’re the first to know
When darkness tu
s to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won’t make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends when darkness tu
s to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won’t make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
When darkness tu
s to light,
It ends tonight.

Don't solve the problem,
when danger is bitter.
~Far away where you stock them,
in cages that tether~
And all bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.
[Chorus]
And when the sky is falling,
don't look outside the window.
Step back and hear i'm calling.
Give up, don't take the fastroad.
It's just your doubt that binds you.
Just drop those thoughts behind you, now.
Change your mind.
Let go too soon.
Sit down, you're sinking,
there's no one to watch you.
Skip town, you're thinking,
there's no one to stop you.
And all the bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.
[Chorus]
And when the sky is falling,
don't look outside the window.
Step back and hear i'm calling.
Give up, don't take the fastroad.
It's just your doubt that binds you.
Just drop those thoughts behind you, now.
Change your mind.
Let go too soon.
[Chorus]
Don't run away,
Start feeling fine.
It's better than your worst, worst day.
No words to say, I'll give you mine,
and pocket all the hurt, just stay.
Don't run away.
It's better than your worst, worst day.
And when the sky is falling,
don't look outside the window.
Step back and hear i'm calling.
Give up, don't take the fastroad.
[Chorus]
Don't run away.
Change your mind.
Let go too soon.
[x3]
[Chorus]
Don't run away.
Change your mind.

I know you
So better than the city in the rear view
I drive to
Eliminate the ball that I'm chained to

Take me, break me
Every mile further there's a part of me that slips away
One day you’ll see
Even if you got down on your knees
You couldn’t make me stay

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight, fight, fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night

i'll stay strong
I’m pushing on the pedal til I break dawn
So I’m gone
Go find another shoulder you can cry on

Take me break me
Every mile further there’s a part of me that slips away
One day you’ll see
Even if you got down on your knees you couldn’t make me stay

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight, fight, fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night


All of the things that you knew that I’d try
All of the things that I held inside
All I gotta do is drive

Drive all night
Never gonna get me
Night by night
To get away from it all
Fight, fight, fight
All you wanna do is hurt me
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
So im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
So im gonna have to drive all night
You wrecked our lives
so im gonna have to drive all night

You dont have to move, you don't have to speak
Lips for biting.
You're staring me down, a glance makes me weak
Eyes for striking
Now im twisted up when i'm twisted with you
Brush so lightly
And time trickles down, and i'm breathing for two
Squeeze so tightly.
I'll be fine, you'll be fine.
This moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
We'll dance inside the song


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you



She sinks in my mind as she sheds through her skin
Touch sight taste like fire
Hands do now what eyes no longer defend
Hands to fuel desire
I'll be fine, you'll be fine
This moment seems so long
Don't waste now, precious time
We'll dance inside the song


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you



Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah
Ooo, ah (x 2)



And I'll be fine, you'll be fine
Is this fine? I'm not fine
Give me pieces, give me things to stay awake



What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you


What makes the one to shake you down?
Each touch belongs to each new sound
Say now you want to shake me too
Move down to me, slip into you

Move down to me slip into you...

"Top Of The World"

[Verse 1]
Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It’s a king that we put up there
And he's a short way to fall from grace
It's slowly failing upward.
You can step but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost words.
They say its time that you lost your crown.

[Chorus]
Don’t be so greedy. (Don't be...)
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don’t wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

[Verse 2]
Is there anybody up there?
That can see what a man can change?
It’s better that you don’t care
Because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia
When there’s a time, put you in your place
In the eyes of those who watch'ya
Well they can wait 'til you hit your face

[Chorus]
Don’t be so greedy. (Don't be...)
A dollar's a penny to you
When hearts are beating
Say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don’t wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you

Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you win, and you win, and you win
And you win, yeah you win, and you win

Don’t be so greedy (Don't be...)
A dollar’s a penny to you
When hearts stop beating
Say what you what 'em to do
Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don’t wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Wasting away... I see you
When the top of the world falls on you
Finding a day, don't wanna be you
When the top of the world falls on you

Back me down from backing up
Hold your breath now it's stacking up
Etched with marks, but I can deal
And you're the problem and you can't feel
Try this on, straightjacket feeling
so maybe I won't be alone
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was hell,
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be,
That face is tearing holes in me again

Trust you is just one defense
Off a list of others, you don't make sense
Beg me time and time again
to take you back now, but you can't win
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was hell
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be
That face is tearing holes in me again,

but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you

And when that memory slips away
There will be a better view from here
And only lonesome you remains
and just the thought of you I fear
it falls away

Yesterday was hell
But Today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all I ever thought you would be
That face is tearing holes in me again,

but today I'm fine without you
Runaway this time without you
And all the things you put me through
I'm holding on by letting go of you

Please just don't play with me My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseach you
Simple things, that make you run a-way
Catch you if I can

Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that I know
Moving on is, easiest when I am around you.

So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
Now a year has past
The seasons go

Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseach you
Simple things, that make you run a-way
Catch you if I can

Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is,
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer

Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down, and so do I into
the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

She screams when I'm away
She's been gone before.
I worried all the time
Why worry anymore?
Now I go, away
Now I know, today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You push me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

She, now, she's all alone
Her eyes, they drown in tears
Their love was meant to last
But she is blind with fear
Now I go, away
Now I know, today

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You push me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

Leave me be
Now, I'm free
Love reflecting everything
You want space
I need you to help me see this through

There she goes [x3]

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You push me away
Your love for me was everything I need
The air I breathe

I picked out your star
Turned night to day
A simple whisper from your voice
And I fade away
You wish for love
You push me away
You're everything to me

Days swiftly come and go
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions a stir
The sun is gone
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fallDid you think that I would cry on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like being alone?
I'll find someone new(Swing) swing swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old
They bend, they fold
And so do I to a new loveDid you think that I would cry on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like being alone?
I'll find someone new(Swing) swing swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away away away...)(Swing) swing swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?(Swing) swing swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?(Swing) swing swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?...

You, you)
Him and her
Life is turned
The day I knew you would leave
I can barely breathe
Can you hear me scream?
You, thrown in all directions
You, epitome of perfection
She's lost her will
(She's lost her will)
Time is standing still
He walks her home
Now he walks alone
The days they turn into years
The eyes they drown in tears
Can you hear me scream?
You, thrown in all directions
You, epitome of perfection
She's lost her will
(She's lost her will)
Time is standing still
The way we are
The way we were
(It's just a shadow of what's wrong)
The time with you
The time is stirred
(I loved you for so long)
The hearts they turn
They turn away
(She says to go, please don't you cry)
Love lost was found
Night turns to day
You, thrown in all directions
You, epitome of perfection
She's lost her will
Time is standing still
You, thrown in all directions
You, epitome of perfection
She's lost her will
(She's lost her will)
Time is standing still
(You, you, you)
Time is standing still

One boy, one girl
Two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more sad song,
Tears shed, she's gone
She'd take it back, if she only could

And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed, and you wish you could be

Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do? I cannot breathe
My heart is torn for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me

Best friend, worst thing
She's been cheating
Friend deceives, she leaves
Last date, she cries
Whispers goodbye
She walks once more out that door

And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed, and you wish you could be

Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do? I cannot breathe
My heart is torn for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me

(Please, please, please, please)

Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
What can I do?

Alone with you
Alone with me
What can I do?
I cannot breathe..
Alone with, alone with...

Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do?
I cannot breathe
My heart is torn for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me..

I worry
I wonder all the time
Why worry?
It's killing me
Forget about it

I whisper
"Remember what she did
Don't miss her"
Set me free
She won't allow it

Angry and gone
And the list goes on and on
If it's love I will defer
I'm being lost being with her

I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now

Believing
The things I did were wrong, I'm leaving
It fades away
Forget about it

She's binding
Can't do a thing alone, rewinding
Times before
Can't live without it

Angry and gone
And the list goes on and on
If it's love I will defer
I'm being lost being with her

I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now

I don't know
But you did
But you did
But you did

Please don't go
Now my feelings for you
They're now lost
'Cause we're through anymore
I'll write you
I'll call you
Now

Being lost, being with her
Being lost, being with her
Being lost
Forget about it

I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on
I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now

(Repeat and fade until the end)
