[should have known at the end of summer the innocence fades and the weak become stronger should have known at the end of the summer I'd be lost without you] the skyline looked like a stained glass window the city sang such mad crescendo four bare feet on a rain soaked street summer airbrushed fever dreams disappeared in a camera flash why do the bad girls never last lost in gin and lemonade elecrospins and the mermaid parade four quartets and no regrets except for the polaroids i left you were just some spell i was under that endless summer

Sunset 05:26
faked our deaths lit a match closed the door waited for the flash greyhound station paid in cash miss lazarus we're coming back they say it's darkest before the dawn we've been in this town for far too long they say it's darkest before the dawn we're moving on sunset no regrets first chance last dance stuck in the middle even bad girls know good love you taste so sweet it hurts a little make our home where we stand one suitcase and half a plan follow the wolves and sing along past the voices to the Song they say it's darkest before the dawn we've been in this town for far too long they say it's darkest before the dawn we're moving on sunset no regrets first chance last dance stuck in the middle even bad girls know good love you taste so sweet it hurts a little

[keep on running] He comes alive in metropolis lights when the musics way too loud Deep in the night it's easy to hide and he's got it all figured out White satellites getting lost in his eyes but to him she's just another girl Roll with the tide like the wind and the sky and he'll only let you down Oooh Jason Tell me what you're chasin' Because the night will never give you what you want Oooh Jason And if you can't escape it I hope you find whatever you've been looking for Where do you go in a town full of ghosts and everybody knows your name And all the homecoming queens in the small town scenes they'll offer you a place to stay Some want forever instead of whenever when they're naked in the light It's a strange little potion but sometimes the motion almost makes you feel alive Oooh Jason Tell me what you're chasin' Because the night will never give you what you want Oooh Jason And if you can't escape it I hope you find whatever you've been looking for And I'm gonna keep on running

Synthetic 03:19
Been trying to move on Been black and blue Trying to turn the old Into something new You found somebody I found someone too She got everything I need Yeah but she's not you I locked my love into the ground Hoped it never could be found Body slowly shutting down And now I am... I'm still alive but I can't feel I got stuff inside but it's not real They say I'm fine but I feel synthetic Nothing human left in me I'm just a machine full of moving parts I got emptiness where I used to have a heart I'm still breathing but I'm synthetic Nothing human left in me Nothing human about me No emotion Just autotune Left who I was back there with you Maybe I died And I kept movin' In a body made of plastic and glue I locked my love into the ground Hoped it never could be found Body slowly shutting down And now I am... I'm still alive but I can't feel I got stuff inside but it's not real They say I'm fine but I feel synthetic Nothing human left in me I'm just a machine full of moving parts I got emptiness where I used to have a heart I'm still breathing but I'm synthetic Nothing human left in me Nothing human about me

i been so low felt the wind blow like i was a screen door in a thunderstorm yeah i've been down i've been laid out but you always were what I came here for waiting all day waiting all day just for my say for a bell to ring for the first sting Yeah I been blue that ain’t nothing new it’s you my friend you’re why I get up again I’ve make mistakes I’ve been hard hit I say so what so what if I did I’m the clear eyed I’m the comeback kid start it over start it over again I'm the clear eyed I'm the comeback kid it’s been a rough year been some tough tears I’ve lost so fast all that I had but when it’s time to i will fight for you cause you know you are are why i’ve come so far I’ve make mistakes I’ve been hard hit I say so what so what if I did I’m the clear eyed I’m the comeback kid start it over start it over again I'm the clear eyed I'm the comeback kid

Vampires 05:17
strangers in a dark room laughing at jokes they didn't quite hear frosted window panes and pink champagne a face appears and anything could happen in these cathedrals we roam where shadow people dance and trade their glance and walk home alone staring out the window of the roosevelt hotel watching midtown empty out and i kiss her farewell they say we come from nothing and to nothing we'll return and in between is gravity and bridges left to burn

Nighthawks 03:48
i see you you see me eighteenth floor across the street sometimes you dance sometimes you read tv dinners fall asleep do i ever cross your mind through your window in the sky when you forget to close the blinds so do i i see you check your phone wash the dishes fold the clothes sometimes you stay up and get stoned but you always sleep alone do i ever cross your mind through your window in the sky when you forget to close the blinds so do i

Memories 06:19
everything is clear in the rear view mirror the coast highway and the golden hour only love nothing was lost everything fits when you tell your story the blurry portraits in the halls of former lovers gone but nothing was lost you'll always be a part of me you gave me a song to sing dancing in your room innocent and true elvis tattoo on your shoulder we'll know better when we're older you'll always be a part of me some wounds will always sting forever in full bloom barely twenty two summer days are growing colder we'll know better when we're older all of this was planned when the world was started the red blood hearts the final word was never said i'm tossing in my bed but everything is clear in the rear view mirror when nothing is left the lights of evening round us shine pink and silver skies you'll always be a part of me you gave me a song to sing dancing in your room innocent and true elvis tattoo on your shoulder we'll know better when we're older you'll always be a part of me some wounds will always sting forever in full bloom barely twenty two summer days are growing colder we'll know better when we're older
