You've got me running out the back door while you hold it down. So smooth as you make the moves like you've got it all figured out. If we only knew the potential of a night like that, I'd say forget the confidential and meet me out back.
Like a candle we're going to burn this down, so take your things and get the hell out of town. Cuz I know we're better than this. I know we're better.
Believe me, look this way... Before I forget just how to say, I want to taste another night on my tongue I can feel it in my breathe and in my lungs.
Like a candle we're going to burn this down, so take your things and get the hell out of town. Cuz I know we're better than this. I know we're better.
I won't let this drift away cuz today is the day we make it out okay. So take my hand, cuz here we go!
Like a candle we're going to burn this down, so take your things and get the hell out of town. Cuz I know we're better than this. I know we're better.

Way To Start This

You stare across the table, I can`t help but let my heart go. Maybe it`s worth the chase. Is It worth the... Stop, Stop, turn around. Next thing I knew this shit has hit the ground. One more time we`re save and sound, we`re safe and sound. But what have we found...
I can't forget the time under the stars. That night you stole a piece of my heart and I wish I could take it back to the start, but I need to know where to start this
Way to start this, where the heart is. You make it easy, you best believe me. Your eyes aren't one to resist. It's the kind of thing that's got to be permanent. If permanent didn't scare me to the death, you were under the blankets waiting for it.
I can't forget the time under the stars. That night you stole a piece of my heart and I wish I could take it back to the start, but I need to know where to start this
You've got me where you want me, won't you just make up you mind?
I can't forget the time under the stars. That night you stole a piece of my heart and I wish I could take it back to the start, but I need to know where to start this.

Let's Keep A Secret

Sneak out with the sunrise before you move, you move. Cuz I knew that I would be taking back these things with you. If you don`t feel the same way then that won`t do, cuz you want a reply, like "please stay" but things can`t be the same.
You said "let`s keep a secret, like come on we both need this" You got me feeling there`s no harm with your lips their so cold. I should have thought when you were making me sweat, I should have known it would end like this.
You said "let`s push a little stronger" but you know it`ll only get harder to dig ourselves out of this mess. Friends can`t start like this. So push, push, push a little harder, these feeling will only get stronger. This soon will fall apart, I should have listened to the heart when..
You said "let`s keep a secret, like come on we both need this" You got me feeling there`s no harm with your lips their so cold. I should have thought when you were making me sweat, I should have known it would end like this.
I`ve got a lot going on and no you don`t want some, cuz I`ve got a lot going on.
You said "let`s keep a secret, like come on we both need this" You got me feeling there`s no harm with your lips their so cold. I should have thought when you were making me sweat, I should have known it would end like this.

I like it when you go "oh,oh" you've got that diamond ring "oh,no" and you think your so "oh,oh" You better watch out before you walk right through me, while you licking your lips and making room for that gangster swing. Do you really think it's happening?
I get that you like the attention, and I bet your forgetting to mention all the god damn things that you put me through. For some stupid reason I keep running back to...
You can take your designer smile, stop in and stay for awhile, but I won't take it back. No I won't take you back. You can buy a million red roses, scratch that, make them golden, but I won't take it back. No I won't take it back.
I like it when you got "oh, oh" You've got that diamond ring "oh,no" . What do diamond rings have to do with anything but disguising what's underneath? You've always liked make believe. I say "glamour kills" you say "so do girls" but you're the one who has to impress that chachy with your close.
I get that you like the attention, and I bet your forgetting to mention all the god damn things that you put me through. For some stupid reason I keep running back to..
You can take your designer smile, stop in and stay for awhile, but I won't take it back. No I won't take you back. You can buy a million red roses, scratch that, make them golden, but I won't take it back. No I won't take it back.

Count your cents, cuz you'll be needing them. It's all we have but we're still feeling it. The sense is that cents couldn't pay for this. Another night and we're still making it. A chance to please whoever wants to take it in. This chance is yours if you make it.
We're not going to sit down and shut our mouths, we're here to make it happen. When you thought you had it figured out, we're going to beat you to it.
One life to our own, this road is the way it goes. I don't know what's on the other side and I don't know where I'll sleep tonight. One life to our own, and this song is the way it goes. If you're looking for the fast ride, you're out of time.
Wake up in another atmosphere, how did I end up here? How did we end up here? Counting down the footsteps to the night before, it's time to find my feet and time to find the keys. It's funny how every night are nights like these.
We're not going to sit down and shut our mouths, we're here to make it happen. When you thought you had it figured out, we're going to beat you to it.
One life to our own, this road is the way it goes. I don't know what's on the other side and I don't know where I'll sleep tonight. One life to our own, and this song is the way it goes. If you're looking for the fast ride, you're out of time.
So don't look back and don't slow down because there's no room for mistakes now. It's all we have so make it last, cuz these stars are bright tonight. Make a wish one crossed the sky, these stars are bright tonight.
We're not going to sit down and shut our mouths, we're here to make it happen. When you thought you had it figured out, we're going to beat you to it.
One life to our own, this road is the way it goes. I don't know what's on the other side and I don't know where I'll sleep tonight. One life to our own, and this song is the way it goes. If you're looking for the fast ride, you're out of time.
