We'll be fine when the summer comes We'll be fine when the summer comes We'll be fine when the summer comes We'll be fine when the summer comes Hold up Up and calm What feels like forever Have no answer Hold up Up and calm What feels like forever Have no answer We'll be fine Even if it never comes We'll be fine Even if We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us Hold up Up and calm What feels like forever Have no answer Bird gone Postcard lost Know that I'm somewhere In the same boat We'll be fine when the summer comes We'll be fine when the summer comes We'll be fine even if it never comes We'll be fine even if We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us We'll never find what ails both of us Hold up Up and calm What feels like forever Have no answer Bird gone Postcard lost Know that I'm somewhere In the same boat

We're wailing and wailing Test of the city See you in the car We're wailing and wailing Test of the city See you in the car See you seen the car To the cards to the cartoons it spins One two buckle my shoe Three four on the floor One two buckle my shoe Three four on the floor '07 new student Sins go first at restaurants Many times missed stuck on the grand scheme of the world Meet you at the altar I'll meet you at the altar Don't tempt me stupid Feet leapt up it's natural How many times will the world spin round before it's done Meet you at the altar I'll meet you at the altar Melted churches cruising One two buckle my shoe Three four on the floor Five six through my heart and down my ribs I pierce my vital limbs Choke you a little bit in my car With the seat belts Oh hang in there hun All tied up I only wanted love I only want love Choke you a little bit in my car With the seat belts Oh hang in there hun All tied up I only wanted love I only want love I'm learning when to stop Untie my shoes and hope to fall I'm learning when to stop Untie my shoes and hope to fall I'm learning when to stop Untie my shoes and hope to fall I'm learning when to stop Untie my shoes and hope to fall I only wanted love I only want love I'm learning when to stop I'm learning when to stop I only wanted love I only want love I'm learning when to stop I'm learning when to stop I only wanted love I only want love I'm learning when to stop I'm learning when to stop I only wanted love I only want love I'm learning when to stop I'm learning when to stop

Every time you praised life you were so on something nice Everything that I try is just because I'm trying hard Every time you drank your last you could swear it was the best one And everything that I said isn't a lie but it's in the past God knows God knows God knows God knows God knows God knows God knows You should keep those friends close God knows You should keep those friends close On the day I shaved my legs we parted ways and went That's that same lil monkey on my back he never left On the day I shaved my legs we parted ways and went That's that same lil monkey on my back he never left Every time you praised life you were so on something nice Everything that I try is just because I'm trying hard Every time you drank your last you could swear it was the best one And everything that I said isn't a lie but it's in the past God knows I'm all I've got God knows I'm all I've got God knows God knows I'm all I've got God knows I'm all I've got God knows God knows You should keep those friends close God knows You should keep those friends close On the day I shaved my legs we parted ways and went That's that same lil monkey on my back he never left On the day I shaved my legs we parted ways and went That's that same lil monkey on my back he never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left That's that same lil monkey He never left He never left He never left

Hey did you just say good morning or good money Well I'm wise to this little scheme A human being is a national resource And things are either pricey or cheap Cheap Ooh I'm having Reservations 'bout our dinner plans baby Take the shoulder on an empty stomach Sadly kept you waiting Isn't right Isn't right Isn't right They say the bond brings you together through the stormy weather Frosty pleasure window dresser But I'm better than that Sympathize with everyone they're trying their best But someone's been trying at my expense Hey I'll sympathize with everyone they're trying their best But someone's been trying at my expense At my expense Can and will you take me at face Now that I'm clean Sleeping together or sleeping together Which one's more intimate Hey I'm not liking the exchange rate sweetheart Don't manage me like a career Can you put your money where your mouth is And swallow it whole The suspension of all consumer stations Brought a blow to our love Can and will you give me my embrace And then we are even Steven Seagal Hey I'll sympathize with everyone they're trying their best But someone's been trying at my expense Hey I'll sympathize with everyone they're trying their best But someone's been trying at my expense At my expense I'll sympathize with everyone they're trying their best But someone's been trying at my expense At my expense Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense) Oh and at arm's length At arm's length At arm's length (at my expense)

Guilt shame and regret Permission to bow my head Straight from the hotel It shouldn't have happened like that Can I restore the order Unfairly lauding the launderer Special kind of stupid When I do my wrongs on purpose Probably shouldn't so I will Is the motto of the weed but Bad blood will out No one's worried 'bout that And to that end I'm slashing for a blackout But will I reform to be respected Can I read books in my cell And become a philosopher I'll commit to change if I can see you again Still I hold you Still I haunt you Still I hold you Still I withdrew I tried my best not to get hurt And I'm sorry it worked and I'm sorry Like a cat on the look for something warmer Apologies are limp to the armor (Blond hairs on the sheets they stop me) I think what's happening here is that Everyday I'm loving myself less At the expense of another chance And I agree with everyone else There must be repentance After breaking another covenant Trust in this former launderer Good Christians forgive Standing here on a limb Back when I didn't know loss Was simply hopping across Penny drops Couldn't gain purchase Penny drops Couldn't crack purity Resentment is the fool's estate Clean slate was a broken plate I think the victim is me Truth boldness and honesty I think the victim is me Separate the thing from the thing I'm sick of the chase I'm sick of the chase It was only a vase Was only a vase My natural form I'm sick of the hunt Release me or don't Believe me I won't Both the perpetrator and the martyr are poor Both innocent ill-fated and connected by what What Be sure to use damnation very sparingly And only on the crimes against humanity Still I hold you Still I haunt you Still I hold you Still I withdrew I tried my best not to get hurt And I'm sorry it worked and I'm sorry Like a cat on the look for something warmer Apologies are limp to the armor (Black hairs on the sheets they stop me) I think what's happening here is that Everyday I'm loving myself less At the expense of another chance And I agree with everyone else There must be repentance After breaking another covenant Where is this former launderer After breaking another covenant Where is this former launderer So what's another cent to our sinking economy So what's another cent to our sinking economy So what's another cent to our sinking economy
