Last night we met at the crossroads
We were out of time
You made your deal with the devil and
I backed out of mine
Now he's back to collect our debts
In the form of jealousy
We're further apart than ever before
Looking through blued screens

And oh, how low
The sky can seem in this changing scene
And oh, you know
Nobody wants to be alone

Swear to me
Cross your heart and hope to die
It's alright
I bet my life we'll make it out alive
Swear to me
Don't let me down or let me go
I put my soul
On the line for you, even though I'm told
Love is lies
But for you I'd try

You said you carry this thing in your chest 'round
You wear it every day
A ten pound ball of iron and stone
Babe I feel the same
You spent some years on Lexapro
Now you're learning how to live
I hope you find the peace of mind
That I struggle to give

And so, I know
The world has changed in the digital age
And so, who knows
Everything may change again

Swear to me
Cross your heart and hope to die
It's alright
I bet my life we'll make it out alive
Swear to me
Don't let me down or let me go
I put my soul
On the line for you, even though I'm told
Love is lies
But for you I'd try girl

I caught you crying in the stairwell
One more step was too much strain
When you live a life for someone else
You never shake that pain
So listen up, look to the sky
Feel the shake, the rattle and roll
Come on up and rise with me
Turn this fraction whole

And so, we'll go
And search for truth in the echoes of youth
And oh, we both know
That you need this more than I do

Swear to me
Cross your heart and hope to die
It's alright
I bet my life we'll make it out alive
Swear to me
Don't let me down or let me go
I put my soul
On the line for you, even though I'm told
Love is lies
Love is lies
Love is lies
But for you I'd try

For you I'd try
Yeah yeah
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la ooh

Swear To Me

I spilled my secrets
I sought you out
Whisper sweetly
Your aching doubt
You could hear a pin drop
In the silence we've made
You could hear a pin drop
But the sounds that you make

Are sweet soft inhibitions
Like music to my ears
Don't wanna take you home
But if you fall won't be alone
Well you know, you know, you know
I wasn't born a cliffdiver
Had to learn how to let go
Yeah, let me take you higher baby

You're a fish out of water
You change with the tide
But I am the ocean
Where your last hope resides
I could take it all back
But I mean what I say
I could take it all back
But the things that you say

Are sweet soft inhibitions
Like music to my ears
Don't wanna take you home
But if you fall won't be alone
Well you know, you know, you know
I wasn't born a cliffdiver
Had to learn how to let go
Yeah, let me take you higher baby

Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby

Sweet soft inhibitions
Like music to my ears
Don't wanna take you home
But if you fall won't be alone
Well you know, you know, you know
I wasn't born a cliffdiver
Had to learn how to let go
Yeah, let me take you higher baby

Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby
Let me take you higher baby

Cliffdiver

She came to me and said
Forget the yesterdays in your head
It came as a surprise
Temptations oh-so-serpentine

Your allure excites me
Five foot four, bottled lightning
Let me be your midnight fling
You'll find your jacket on the floor
When you're walking out the door

I'm caught under your spell
You took my tee shirt, you wear it well
I'm searching all the time
For a little death just to feel alive

Your allure excites me
Five foot four, bottled lightning
Let me be your midnight fling
You'll find your jacket on the floor
When you're walking out the door

Your allure excites me
Five foot four, bottled lightning
Let me be your midnight fling
You'll find your jacket on the floor

Bottled Lightning

Always looking down on this side of town
Trying to align all your strides with the cracks below
So the story goes
Always looking down, what's on the ground?
Chagrin coming in like a spark at the speed of sound
But that's just for now

You're looking 'round
For a sign
That you won't find on that I-95
The butterfly
That sometimes you just can't find

It's inside of you
Yeah
Inside of you
Inside of you, can't hide the truth
Oh yeah
Inside

You try to make the time for an early rise
Always undertow, looking for an empty road to ride
But that's by design
Always looking down, what's on the ground?
Chagrin coming in like a spark at the speed of sound
But that's just for now

You're looking 'round
For a sign
That you won't find on that I-95
The butterfly
That sometimes you just can't find
It's inside of you

What you wanted to say
I know you know it was not at all
What you wanted to hear
Yeah!

It's inside of you
It's inside of you
It's inside of you
It's inside of you

You're looking 'round
For a sign
That you won't find on that I-95
The butterfly
That sometimes you just can't find

It's inside of you
Inside of you
It's inside of you
Inside of you, can't hide the truth
Oh yeah yeah
Inside
Inside

The Butterfly

Always known for trouble
Always known for pain
In this life that leads you through the rubble
And you're never quite the same
Alcohol in a cheap motel room
Just a poor man's novocaine
Haunted by your damn rosewater perfume
And stalked by the cold winter rain

I know you look toward the stars above
When you're all out of love
High above the clouds you make your stand
Does anybody give a damn?
There's no forgiveness if there's still blood
And darkness ain't thwarted by flood
I'll be here waiting down on the strand
If you're looking for a safe place to land

Always known for certain
Always known to be true
Flower lips, finger tips close the curtains
And you wish to be anyone but you
You only cry when you're on your own
But when you cry you cry for so damn long
We'll be nowhere in no time
Let's go there, get so high
There's snow on our shoes now

I know you look toward the stars above
When you're all out of love
High above the clouds you make your stand
Does anybody give a damn?
There's no forgiveness if there's still blood
And darkness ain't thwarted by flood
I'll be here waiting down on the strand
If you're looking for a safe place to land

I know you look toward the stars above
When you're all out of love
High above the clouds you make your stand
Does anybody give a damn?
There's no forgiveness if there's still blood
And darkness ain't thwarted by flood
I'll be here waiting down on the strand
If you're looking for a safe place to land

Safe Place To Land

I know that you hate me now
I thought I could turn it around
I know that you hate me now
I thought I could turn it around

Tell me, what's a mid life crisis like at 25?
Help me, I'm lost in the thoughts that I'm trying to find
Leave me, I don't know why I'm so behind
Lease me, this ain't my house but it's close to mine

You better run, better run, better run and hide
I'm seeking solace but I'm falling in the dead of the night
You better run, better run, better run and hide
I'm running outta time

I've been an easy target
Stuck in the mud
How did we get this far?
I've never tried my hardest
Stuck in a rut
How did we get this far?

Twist me, I tend to bend so I'm bound to break
Fix me, this life's a pill I don't know how to take
Relieve me, I need a new scene, a frame I can read
Release me, I'm the sixth man that never played

You better run, better run, better run and hide
I'm seeking solace but I'm falling in the dead of the night
You better run, better run, better run and hide
I'm running outta time

I've been an easy target
Stuck in the mud
How did we get this far?
I've never tried my hardest
Stuck in a rut
How did we get this far?

Stuck, stuck, stuck in the mud
Flash bang bang now I'm covered in blood
Fuck, fuck, I'm losing touch
Flash bang bang but it's never enough and I
Know, know, know that you hate me now
I thought that I could turn it around
But I'm stuck, stuck, stuck in the mud
Flash bang bang now I'm covered in blood
Fuck, fuck, I'm losing touch
Flash bang bang but it's never enough

I've been an easy target
Stuck in the mud
How did we get this far?
I've never tried my hardest
Stuck in a rut
How did we get this far?
How did we get this far?

I know that you hate me now
I thought I could turn it around

Stuck

I think that I'm empty
Could you fill me up?
I've been drinking plenty
Plenty still to come
Sinking shots of whiskey
From a Dixie cup
Last one's sitting fishy
Time to spill my guts

You think I'm hammered
Cause I'm stammering? Please!
Looks like I'm walking
On a sand dune dizzy
I may be stumbling and mumbling around
But I ain't tipsy
I always walk like an Egyptian, baby

Ooh

I think that I'm empty
Could you fill me up?
Make it eighty-twenty
Put some kick in my punch
Drinking top-shelf brandy
From a sippy cup
Send back what you sent me
Time to spill my guts

You think I'm hammered
Cause I'm stammering? Please!
Looks like I'm walking
On a sand dune dizzy
I may be stumbling and mumbling around
But I ain't tipsy
I always walk like an Egyptian, baby

Cleopatra's whispering
(Should I have another? Could I have another?)
Hieroglyphic dizziness
(Should I have another? Could I have another?)
I wish I bit my tongue
But now I'm way past too far gone
So fill my cup, instill your trust
I promise I won't spill my guts

Again!

You think I'm hammered
Cause I'm stammering? Please!
Looks like I'm walking
On a sand dune dizzy
I may be stumbling and mumbling around
But I ain't tipsy
I always walk like an Egyptian, baby

Egyptian

I've been up and I've been down
I'm glad that you haven't been around
We get high and act like we're living well
And hide the fact that we're living hell

I've got a sixth sense
May be a big mess
I said I hate you
This time I meant it
I've got a sixth sense
Been at my wits' end
I said I hate you
This time I meant it

I hate the shows that we used to binge
I hate the songs that you used to sing
I loathe your smile, I resent your eyes
I pity the fool who's been hypnotized
Was never one to settle down
We shacked up, my friends say I'm a clown
At that birthday thing, I caught you staring at me
I guess I'm that wreck you have to stop and see

I've got a sixth sense
May be a big mess
I said I hate you
This time I meant it
I've got a sixth sense
Been at my wits' end
I said I hate you
This time I meant it

Should I leave?
All these thoughts
Do they mean
Anything?
Should I stay
Or stay away?

I've got a sixth sense
May be a big mess
I said I hate you
This time I meant it
I've got a sixth sense
Been at my wits' end
I said I hate you
This time I meant it
Look at me twisted
Like I've got six heads
When I said I hate you
This time I meant it
I've got a sixth sense
Been at my wits' end
I said I hate you
This time I meant it

Sixth Sense

Lost touch long time ago
Said I'm never gonna call 'cause I'm on the road
And she's asking what I'm up to
Not much but I gotta go
Think I didn't feed my dog, nice talking though

I'm pretending that I'm listening to your bitching just to be polite
And I'm starting to remember why I didn't even say goodbye
Bye bye
I don't want none of that

Blah blah blah

Nodding while you're talking, but I'm nodding off
Really wish I had enough to say I've had enough
And she's asking what I'm up to
Not much but I gotta go
Think I didn't feed my dog, nice talking though

I'm pretending that I'm listening to your bitching just to be polite
And I'm starting to remember why I didn't even say goodbye
Bye bye
I don't want none of that

What are you on about?
Feel like the odd one out
Can't barely read your mouth
My attention span is bleeding out again

Blah blah blah

I'm pretending that I'm listening to your bitching just to be polite
And I'm starting to remember why I didn't even say goodbye
Bye bye
I don't want none of that

I don't want none of that
No no
I don't want none of that
Yeah

Blah Blah Blah

Hey there Emily
I’m living on a six string salary 
Ain’t what it might seem
I’d fly out west if I could only scrape the cash
Yeah I’m living fast
And never saying no to anything 
Baby what’s the point in that?

Thrift store pimps and queens
They haunt these seedy bars with revelry
And it always seems
To be the same old same old day by day
Even being strapped for change
I wouldn’t take their two cents anyway
Baby what’s the point in that?

Can you make it make sense to someone like me?
Can you make it make sense to someone like…

Angel eyes held firmly on me (firmly on me)
She’d bet her life I’m gonna live these dreams someday
Slide away and miss your chance 
Bittersweet melody, it’s rock & roll romance 
In a life so filled with NPCs (NPCs)
She’s looking for some electricity like me
Slide away and miss your chance
Bittersweet melody, it’s rock & roll romance
