Wake up penny, the city's burning.They're all crazy, lets get out of here.I'm taking you with me, you and sorry,Where we end up I don't really care... So grab your favorite records, and run a little faster. I think we still have some time, to save each others lives. I know a man with a plane, he can take you to your family.This may be your last chance, to tell them your goodbye. One night spent with you, took me to the end of the world. These days are so few, the clocks are spinning out of control. Wake up penny, the sky is falling. I need you with me, I feel so alone.Death is scary, but you're so pretty. I'd take it all back if you'd please just come home. So grab your favorite records, and run a little faster, I think we still have sometime, to save each others lives. I know a man with a plane, He can bring you back here to me.This may be my last chance, to tell you my good bye. One night spent with you, took me to the end of the world. These days are so few, the clocks are spinning out of control.

Sneaky Snake 03:38
Am I, abusing the privilege. When I, take you for granted. Am i loosing an interest. Will you, ever forget this. Sneaking out the back door, hiding out in halls. Running where we ran before were not afraid to fall. Living in a guilt trip we'll never get away. Forget about tomorrow, were living for today. Step back and enjoy the image. Last chance should have never been given. Deep breaths could never prepare us. Will you, ever forget this. Sneaking out the back door, hiding out in halls. Running where we ran before were not afraid to fall. Living in a guilt trip we'll never get away. Forget about tomorrow, were living for today.

High Hopes 03:05
Today is the last day, tomorrow's gone. I've been filled with distraction, I've been told that I'm wrong.I fucked up this time, I can't comprehend. Forgive me not, i'll fuck up again. But we keep our hopes high, as we rise to the top. We build ourselves up, just so we can be dropped. We'll forget our dreams, and move on down the road. Easier said than done, to me you just never know. The party is over, I've been asked to leave. I'm all out of options and I'm led to believe. This is the dead end, and I'm out of time. Everyone took a path, I guess I must have missed mine... But we keep our hopes high, as we rise to the top. We build ourselves up, just so we can be dropped. We'll forget our dreams, and move on down the road. Easier said than done, to me you just never know. High school never seemed like a problem, Next day getting charged with arson, Six weeks living out of the back seat, Best friends are nowhere to be seen, New Years set a resolution, Sixteen by eighteen I'm done, Make a promise swear to never forget it, Say a prayer and hope that he hears it... But we keep our hopes high, as we rise to the top. We build ourselves up, just so we can be dropped. We'll forget our dreams, and move on down the road. Easier said than done, to me you just never know.

Watch This 03:52
I'm gullible, you said that "I promise".You walked away first you left me at your door. But now I'm drunk, and down your street I stumble. Feels so familiar like its been this way before... Watch this, as I take your breath away, it won't be, the first time, won't be the last time. I'm strung out, been this way for three weeks. I found your picture when I passed out on the floor. I'm alright, I swear i'll find my way home. No need to worry like you ever did before. Watch this, as I take your breath away, it won't be, the first time, won't be the last time.

Lights Off 04:09
Knock down the door, Fall into the room, Get lost in her hair, In a daze of perfume, Trip over the couch, Fall on to the floor, Whisper in her ear, Until she screams for more... Leave the clothes at the side of the bed Get lost in the blankets and sheets, A soft pillow just to rest your head, That we're probably not going to need. A little hotter and a little closer And it's hard to believe, Step back and enjoy the moment Cause I'm not sure when she'll leave. We can keep the lights off all night, And stay awake. We can forget tomorrow, And sleep in late. Never worry we're not dreaming, As we lay. We can keep the lights off all night And stay awake. A little hotter and a little closer And it's hard, to believe Step back and enjoy the moment Cause I'm not sure when she'll leave. Back to the wall and its heavy breathing and I feel so alive. It's just us and the neighbors complaining I think we'll be alright. We can keep the lights off all night, And stay awake. We can forget tomorrow, And sleep in late. Never worry we're not dreaming, As we lay. We can keep the lights off all night And stay awake.
