"Talk You Down"

I can feel the colour running

As it's fading from my face
Try to speak but nothing's coming
Nothing I could say to make you stay
Grabbed your suitcase, called a taxi
It's 3 AM, now where you gonna go?
Gonna stay with friends in London
And that's all I get to know
Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn't' be that far
I'm driving my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
Oh, we're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
And try to open up your eyes
This is relationship suicide
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
Taking shortcuts through the alleys
While you're racing through my mind
Cops can chase but they won't catch me
Not before I get to speak my mind
If there's still time
Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn't be that far
I'm driving my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
Oh, we're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
And try to open up your eyes

This is relationship suicide

'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head, oh.
We're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head.
Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn't be that far
I'm driving my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
Oh, we're standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head
And try to open up your eyes
This is relationship suicide
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.
'Cause if you go, I go.

"I'm Yours"
You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my
heart
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much

I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall

for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
Girl that brings you down, down, down

You healed these scars over time

Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went weak and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours

"Fall For Anything"

Girl that brings you down, down, down
Don't give yourself away
Don't live your life that way
Of course he's gonna say anything you
want
Then leave quicker than he came
Now you've got yourself to blame
Don't put yourself back in the fire again
It's the same damn things you're so quick
to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm
watching you weave
You do it over and over again
So before they bring you down

Please don't be so nave, don't wait 'til your

heart bleeds
Love wasn't built for speed, listen to me
girl
He keeps fuckin' with your head, tryna get
you into bed
And in the morning you'll just hate
yourself
It's the same damn things you're so quick
to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm
watching you make
You do it over and over again and over
again
So before they bring you down
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
Girl that brings you down, down, down
[3x]
And you give until there's nothing to give
Until there's nothing to give,
until there's nothing to give...
Before they break you down
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall
for anything
Before they bring you down, down, down
Girl they'll bring you down, down, down

"Exit Wounds"
My hands are cold, my body's numb
I'm still in shock, what have you done?
My head is pounding, my vision's blurred
Your mouth is moving, I don't hear a word
And I hurt so bad, that I search my skin
For the entry point, where love went in
And ricocheted and bounced around
And left a hole when you walked out, yeah
I'm falling through the doors of the
emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit
wounds?
I don't know how much more love this
heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit
wounds
Wounds!
Where they're leaving, the scars you're
keeping
Exit wounds
Where they're leaving, the scars you're
keeping
Marks of battle, they still feel raw
A million pieces of me, on the floor
I'm damaged goods, for all to see
Now who would ever wanna be with me?
I've got all the baggage, drink the pills
Yeah, this is living but without the will
I'm backing out, I'm shutting down
You left a hole when you walked out, yeah
I'm falling through the doors of the
emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit
wounds?
I don't know how much more love this
heart can lose

And I'm dying, dying from these exit

wounds
Wounds!
Where they're leaving, the scars you're
keeping
Exit wounds
Where they're leaving, the scars you're
keeping

Lose your clothes and show your scars

Marks of battle, they still feel raw
A million pieces of me, on the floor
I'm falling through the doors of the
emergency room
Can anybody help me with these exit
wounds?
I don't know how much more love this
heart can lose
And I'm dying, dying from these exit
wounds
Wounds!
Where they're leaving, the scars you're

"Science & Faith"

Tried to break love to a science
In an act of pure defiance
I broke her heart.
As i pulled apart her theories
As i watched her growing weary
I pulled her apart
Having heavy conversations
About the furthest constellations of our
souls. oh
We're just trying to find some meaning

In the things that we believe in

But we got some ways to go.
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just
knocks me dead.
You won't find faith or hope down a
telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to
chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
I tried pushing evolution
As the obvious conclusion of the start.
But it was for my own amusement
Saying love was an illusion of a hopeless
heart.
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that knocks
me dead.
You won't find faith or hope down a
telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to
chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
Of all of the things that she's ever said
She goes and says something that just
knocks me dead
You won't find faith or hope down a
telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything down to
chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.

Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real
Ooohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real

"Nothing"
[Verse 1]
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the
street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to
drag my feet
They say a few drinks will help me to
forget her
But after one too many I know that I'll
never
Only they cant see where this is gonna
end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's
perfect sense
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm
me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over
town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but Ill say the
words
And she'll listen this time even though
theyre slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to
her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing)
[Verse 2]

So I stumble there, along the railings and

the fences
I know if we're face to face then she'll
come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her
door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll
take me back for sure
[Chorus]
And my mates are all there trying to calm
me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over
town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but Ill say the
words
And she'll listen this time even though
theyre slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to
her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing)
She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was
nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was
nothing
Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are
shaking
When you realize there's no one waiting
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
[Chorus]

And my mates are all there trying to calm

me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over
town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind, turn it all around
And I know that I'm drunk but Ill say the
words
And she'll listen this time even though
theyre slurred
So I, dialed her number and confessed to
her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing (nothing, nothing)
She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was
nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was
nothing
Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing,
nothing)
I got nothing [x3]

We're early to rise
Wipe the sleep from our eyes
We head to work
We catch a lift
We have a smoke and we start this shift?
We open up,
We start to wake
Maybe it's gonna be our day

We start to smile
The sun is out for a while
