Say It Like You Mean It lyrics

We could wait for the wind to blow
Or give me a look so cold...It gives me chills
And ends the summer war
My eyes roll
Around and over and again
Falling down, dizzy with sun stroke
I'll be there
And i'll try to identify, try to look through the gray skies in your eyes..
I'll pick up everything you left behind
Cross your fingers, and pray for winter
I'll be there

I cant wait for this to end
and leave tonight behind us
I'm unsettled letting go of you
and sleeping the night in silence

and this laptop falls along with me
onto my bed while rolling over
break my heart and break my fall
dont kiss him and color all
memories you had of me

the last time I saw you
you were standing by his side
the last time you saw me

today could be a different day
if the sky lifts up the haze
above my front lawn
or just another time i hold my tears
for another year
on my way back home

can i sell this sunrise, in return for a sunset yeah..
can i just be here one more day, until my sunburn fades away

I've asked a hundred times what's going on
but it went through one ear and out the other one

it says hold on and take this ride
and set aside
memories of all the times
when you collide
then you'll leave me here to die
heres the things i meant
but never said

it says sit back and take the time
to lose your mind
and find out what its like to die
so wheres my spine
when its time to give an obvious and simple reason why
i wont write again

what do you see
when you look at me

lead on
to keep our feelings strong
and make me still believe
our page is one and the same
our ways will separate tonight

you say if we were to wait
some things just might be changed
I say that I dont have the strength
to fuel a burning flame
speak to me
what can I say, we just live too far away
that's a shame that love can make you stay

sweet thing

So it's safe to say that we've been here before;
Heart torn out, down for the count and still come back for more.
This lesson is learned too well.
Though, only unlearned by the time your wounds have healed.
Have you had enough
I guess not because your lips are stuck to his.
It's Time to say enough is enough, you would be so better off.
You love him but tough because it's not coming back from him.

here it goes, and this wont take long
just let me dedicate a song
to a girl that turned this boy to stone
and you know who you are
heres a hint, she doesnt have a car
or the time to be in love with me

why did you say
this feeling has to stay
left me to wait for so long

you dont have to stay
but i hope that you would anyway
all you do is up and go

excuse me, but this wont take long

don't leave me without saying goodbye
without saying goodbye

you and I, cold February night
it's been a half an hour
taking sweet time saying our goodbyes
One minute more, GO!!

the best day of my life is all thanks to you
precious remembrance saved for rainy days on February
few scenes from my life where moments mean more to me
than our fine nights,

a better slumber
was in your arms
spent tangled up in you
a sudden morning
crashed in the room
with an uninvited sudden change in you

what can i say
wheres that girl from last night
whos stuck outside
and looks just like you too

you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away a silent pain screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight

Bound to say something, eyes closed,
It's cold, and I'm home
I feel like nothing again,
Pretending not to care, but I care,
And I care, don't say another word
Our time was worthless, but I tried
We started over and over again, as we let go
Held each other, held hands,
Held standards and grudges
That's when I let you know,
I guess that goes to show

Just what I've been going through,

the minute before we play
i'm pacing waiting anxiously
i can't wait to hit the stage
and say hello to jersey
and when the last note rings
and when i've sung all i have to sing
every minute i will count
till the next show in the next town

what can i say
that can explain
all this time
i'm loving life
theres not a day
that i could say
all this time
i'm living out my...

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone,
And so alone.
The worst is over.
You can have the best of me.
We got older,
But we're still young.
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.

Here we lay again,
On two separate beds,
Riding phone lines,
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory.
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings,

its time to say a word
say it like you mean it
he spoke with his song of hearts
as my eyes hold back
hoping for the end
one too many condensending battles for a friend

say another word
and i'll sit on the floor
keep talking down to me
your not only losing me
your losing whats in store

i'll try to stay awake
when i go
when i get home
i'll try to stay awake
over the phone
so i can tell the truth
