style
Midnight, you come and pick me up
No hidden lights
Long drive, but ending burn in flames or paradise
Fading off you, it's been a while since I have been heard from you
I should just tell you to leave cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
Watch us go round and round each time
You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back in every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl fig and a tight little skirt,
And when we go crashing down, we come back in every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road Takes me home
Lights are off, he's taking off his coat
I say I heard that you been out and about with some other girl
Some other girl
He says, what you've heard it's true but I Can't stop thinking about you and I
I said I've been there a few times
Cause You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back in every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt.
And I got that good girl fig and a tight little skirt,
And when we go crashing down, we come back in every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.
Take me home
Just take me home
Just take me home
You got that James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back in every time.
Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
Better Than Revenge
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
(Ha! Time for a little revenge)
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and
I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
CHORUS:
She's not a saint, and she's not what you think She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress
Whoa
Soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples' toys on the playground won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind.
There's nothing I do better than revenge
-
She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling
She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
They didn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
That no amount of vintage dresses give you dignity
CHORUS
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I always get the last word
Whoa
CHORUS
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
Cause i don't think you do
Oh, do you still feel like you know what you‘re doing I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
Come on show me how much better you are See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster then you can say sabotage
Enchanted
There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Shifiting eyes and vancancy vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Your eyes whispered \"have we met?\" Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
The lingering question kept me up
2am, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
It was enchanted to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
This is me praying that this was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you

I can't help myself
myself(can't help myself, I can't help myself) Long Live
I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands crowds and stands went wild
We were the Kings and the Queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the Kings and the Queens
You trade your basevall cap for a crown When they gave us our trophies
And we help them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming this is absurd
Cause for a moment a band of theives
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Will you take a moment
Promise me this
That you'll stand by my forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how our hope it shined
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid Saying long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live, the look on your face And bring on all the pretenders
One day
We will be remembered
love story
we were both young when i first saw you
i close my eyes and the flashback starts
i'm standing there on a balcony in summer air see the lights, see the party, the ball gowns see you make your way through the crowd and say hello, little did i know
that you were romeo, you were throwing pebbles
and my daddy said stay away from juliet
and i was crying on the staircase, begging you please don't go
and i said
romeo take me somewhere we can be alone i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
you'll be the prince and i'll be this princess
it's a love story
baby, just say yes
so i sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew so close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
oh, oh, oh
'cause you were romeo, i was a scarlet letter and my daddy said stay away from juliet
but you were everything to me, i was begging you please don't go
and i said
romeo take me somewhere we can be alone i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess
it's a love story
baby, just say yes
romeo save me try to tell me how it feels
this might be stupid boy, but its so real
don't be afraid now we'll get out of this mess it's a love story
baby, just say yes
i got tired of waiting wondering if you were ever coming around
my faith in you is better
when i met you on the outskirts of town
and i said
romeo save me ive been feeling so alone
ill keep waiting for you but you never come
is this in my head, i don't know what to think he fell to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone i love you and that's all i really know
i talked to your dad you'll pick out a white dress
it's a love story
baby, just say yes
oh, oh, oh
we were both young when i first saw you
Mean
You, with your words like knives
and swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
got me feelin' like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard callin' me out when I'm woun,
Ded you pickin' on the weaker man
You can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You, with your switching sides
and your wildfire lies and your humiliation You, have pointed out my flaws again,
as if don't already see them
I walk with my head down,
tryna block you out 'cause I never impress you I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around,
somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar Talkin' over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but Nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and ? and all about how I can't sing
All you are is mean
All you are is mean
And a liar
And pathetic
And alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean But someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll be livin' in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hear me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
Our Song
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking
how we don't have a song
And he says...
Our song is the slamming screen door, Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh
The first date \"man, I didn't kiss her,but I should have\"
And when I got home ... before I said amen Asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps
after everything the day
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...
Our song is the slamming screen door, Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh
The first date \"man, I didn't kiss her,but I should have\"
And when I got home ... before I said amen Asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radio Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...
Cause our song is the slamming screen door Sneaking out late, tapping on his window When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh
The first date \"man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have\"
And when I got home ... before I said amen Asking God if he could play it again...
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I... wrote down our song
Ours
Elevator buttons in morning air Strangers silence makes me
wanna take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh
about their vacant stares
But right now
My time is theirs
Seems like there's always
someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they
know about me and you
And the verdict comes from
those with nothing else to do
The jury's out
But my choice is you
So don't you worry your
pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours
You never know what people
have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past
gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows
with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care
'Cause right now you're mine
And you'll say don't you
worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours
And it's not theirs to speculate if it's wrong
And your hands are tough but
they are where mine belong
And I'll fight their
doubt and give you faith
With this song for you
'Cause I love the gap between your teeth And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from
my father about your tattoos will be ignored 'Cause my heart is yours
So don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don't you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours
The stakes are high,
The water's rough,
But this love is ours.
Speak now
I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl
I sneak in and see your friends and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid Somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
This is surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said speak now
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song that
sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me, don't you
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said speak now
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out
And they said speak now
Oh, la, oh
I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
There's the silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room But I'm only looking at you
I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl
So don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
They said speak now
And you say let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around
When they said speak now This love
Clear blue water
High tide came and brought you in
(and I could go, on and on, on and on)
(and I will,
Skies grew darker
Currents swept you out again
(and you were just gone and gone, gone and gone)
in silence screams. In wildest dreams
i never dreamed of this
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is alive
Back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free and
This love came back to me
Tossing, turning, struggled through the night wIth someone new
(and I could go on and on, on and on) Lantern, burning, flickered through the night only you
(but you were still gone , gone , gone) Through losing grip
On sinking ships
You showed up just in time
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is alive
Back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free and
This love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free and
This love came back to me.
Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But you come back
...To what you need
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is alive
Back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free and This love came back to me
