Heatwaves

"I could never be with another"
At least that's what you're supposed to say
Found elation in the midnight heat
And lost it in the breaking day

So you think I'm a saint, but I know I'm a vagrant
Standing in my finest clothes with holes worn in my shoes
We'll rewrite the rules and we'll break them by sunset
The past is polluted, the future's diluted
It's all the same

Been this way a million times
I don't have to tell you why
If it's wrong, I'll make it right
I won't try to change your mind

Been this way a million times
I don't have to tell you why
If it's wrong, I'll make it right
I won't try to change your mind

When there's nothing left to remind you
Of all-nighters on the subway lines
City limits in a freezing rain
Nothing can remain the same

So you say I'm a thief, and you call me a liar
The Friday boys are talking tall, but they all look broke to me
Oh, we can still laugh when it feels like we're dying
We're in it together, the sooner the better
Whether here or there, I don't care what they say

Been this way a million times
I don't have to tell you why
If it's wrong, I'll make it right
I won't try to change your mind

Been this way a million times
I don't have to tell you why
If it's wrong, I'll make it right
I won't try to change your mind

I won't try to change your mind
I won't try to change your mind
I won't try to change your mind
To change your mind

AVE J

Get up and close the door
I know what you're here for
It always leaves us wanting more
And I don't know why we're still fighting for it

Attached our wings with gum
And flew into the sun
Don't ask who's side I'm on
Woah, I let you down and you're not responding

You grab my stupid face
With hands that used to trace
Your finger in my open I
And I wonder how much you could like it

My back's against the wall
Don't know myself at all
I try to catch you when you fall
Oh, but you don't care, and I'm tired of stalling

Take me as I am, take me as I am
Or throw it away
Take me as I am, take me as I am
Or throw it away
Take me as I am, take me as I am
Or throw it away
Take me as I am, take me as I am
Or throw it away

SIMMER

I'm taking back the space you're occupying
I'm not gonna act like I don't notice when you're lying
The same contradictions
Too many to mention
I can't take the tension
I'm going home
If this house is haunted
Then I'm the ghost

It feels like I'm not really there
I don't think you really care
It's just a bad dream
It don't have no meaning
It could have happened to anybody
It's just a bad dream
It don't have no meaning
It could have happened to anybody

I'm taking back the space you're occupying
I'm not gonna act like I don't notice when you're lying
The same contradictions
Too many to mention
I can't take the tension
I'm going home
The same contradictions
Too many to mention
Too many to mention

By this time I shouldn't have to say it
Shouldn't have to say it
I want you but you just keep on playing
You just keep on playing
Oh woah oh oh whoa
You just keep on playing
Oh woah oh oh whoa

By this time I shouldn't have to say it
By this time I shouldn't have to say it

THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED

The girls won't turn their heads
But the boy's fixated on her jeans
I don't know what you said
But I'm gonna find out what you mean

All the familiar faces changed
I don't wanna say what's on my mind
We got too high to hit the ground
Don't bring me down, and don't hide your eyes
If you can see it
Then please believe it
Making the best of what you like

I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night
I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night
I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night

I won't hide no more
Cuz lies just turn me inside out
I hate to admit that I still want you to be around

I've made some mistakes I can't justify
But, baby, you know that I'm human too
You got scars and so do I
I can tell when you're lying, I don't need proof
We get so low
But still won't let go
Tying our hands with every fight

I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night
I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night
You don't own me, I know it's not right
I'm so lonely, won't you spend the night

Somehow I'm still too shy to say it
Why am I still too shy to say it

SPEND IT

I tell you what you want to hear
Hoping you won't disappear
I'm checking the time, where could you be this time
You don't wanna say
It's breaking me down, I don't think about it
Push the fears away

We still have the same misunderstandings
What's the point in keeping up a happy face
When it feels like you refuse to understand me
When my back's to the wall
I'll never fall, but I can't escape

You go off to your island when your heart starts to break
While everyone who knows you fights the fires that you made
Someone's gotta say it
I've lost the will to fake it

I'm checking the time, where could you be this time
You don't wanna say
So I tell you what you want to hear

Oh, you go off to your island when your heart starts to break
While everyone who loves you fights the fires that you made
Someone's gotta say it
I've lost the will to fake it

TO YOUR ISLAND

She ran between the vacant houses
Memories come back by the thousands
You never found out why she chose you
You'd understand it if you're supposed to

It's no use to blame the devil
For dragging you down to her level
Count your days within the prison
You shouldn't take more than you're given

The answer breaks off into questions
Tell yourself that you found heaven
A picture from a broken camera
Retrace this fractured panorama

Once you saw her stripped and naked
Now it's you who's desecrated
It used to be so satisfying
Don't it make you feel like dying

You never knew she did it for you
Can't change it even if you want to
The past is gone, those days are over
It's better that we call it closure

CALL IT CLOSURE

One day, you'll say
As we shiver in the winter dawn
"We keep moving,
Down these different roads we're standing on"

You tried to tell me
I didn't hear a word you said
Only listened to what's in my head
But now I know

Early morning
Look for rockets in the sky above
Time is wasting
Is this the moment you were speaking of

You tried to tell me
I didn't hear a word you said
Only listened to what's in my head
But now I know

You tried to tell me
I didn't hear a word you said
Only listened to what's in my head
But now I know

NOW I KNOW
