Well I keep getting myself knee deep in debt
and every time you cried I secretly laughed
and all I ever wanted was to see you through a hole in the floorboards
and all I ever wanted was to see you through a hole in the floorboards
I never messed with cigarette smoke
Because you and I both know that was because I was broke
and all I ever wanted was to see you through a hole in the floorboards
and all I ever wanted was to see you through a hole in the floorboards

Don’t hold back
Your heart attack
on my heartstrings that have been rusted over again
Love lost at sea
means more to me then all the nicotine and caffeine
shared between us
With a new attitude on life
and a displacement of my time
I’ve been living two lives
I’ve been living two lives
Sit and think in reverie
a costly commission of sanity
with the new sheets in my dreams
with daytime TV early in the morning
Before the call
transmission stalls and the constant breaking down of your walls
you know I’ve seen it all before
Coffee cake
Reverberate
the sound of your accented bait
Just to keep me away
With a new attitude on life
and a displacement of my time
I’ve been living two lives
I’ve been living two lives
Sit and think in reverie
a costly commission of sanity
with the new sheets in my dreams
with daytime TV early in the morning
You’re camera shy and I’m tongue tied
I’m taking all bets on future releases of
the All American Rejects
Sit and think in reverie
a costly commission of sanity
with the new sheets in my dreams
with daytime TV early in the morning

I’ve been spending
late nights with cigarettes and drinking lightly
to the sound of a crowded room on the TV
and most of these nights have been full of Pep Pills
full of caffeine
to keep me up through the morning
and I Promise that I’m okay
and I promise I’ll be okay
I’ve been spending
early mornings in front of the TV
I haven’t been doing much of anything lately
and I Promise that I’m okay
and I promise I’ll be okay
and I Promise that I’m okay
and I promise I’ll be okay

You are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.
Since when did "I wanna hear your voice" not become a good excuse?
Calling you three in the morning, laugh at sleep that we'll both lose
Maybe college won't work out, I can come live at your house
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need
You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see
I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be
I'll let it be.
Because you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.
I get left out, I get left out of every plan they make
That is what I have to do
Be the only kid from school who is still in love with you
Maybe college won't work out, I can come live at your house
I'm supposed to be at class now but my roommate just passed out
And I cannot get in my room, get all my books and what I need
You're all I need but I am pretty sure your parents will never see
I'll let it be, 'cause it was never meant to be
Because you are water twelve feet deep and I am boots made of concrete
We'll wear cool clothes that show some skin,
Flash a fake, so we'll both get in
Now we're dancing, we're so drunk
We are so cool, we are so punk
And yes, we can keep living like this.
As long as you're here I will live like this.

There are five delightful flavors in a Lifesavers roll, yeah my grandma used to say I've got a sentimental skull. But my grandma was a waitress, my mom was a waitress, and I am a waitress too.
Yeah, your dad, he was a cop and punched you right in the head. You said "Fuck you, Dad! I hate you!" and that's just what you meant. But your dad was a cop, I bet his dad was a cop, yeah but you're no cop you see.
No, to me you are the great wall of China. Yeah to me, you are the golden gates of hell. Yeah to me, you are college camping trips and hockey. Yeah to me, you are the lies that you sell.
No it's true that I still love you, for how long I never could tell. But our lives are the same, both in shape and in length. For when you die, I will die as well.
