Someday's Gone lyrics - The All-American Rejects

What makes you so damn sure,
That you’re perfect, huh?
I can’t explain you
Just like a nightmare
I can’t remember
What makes you so damn sure
That you’re worth it huh?
You’re just a bad trip

I can’t come back from since last December
I walk into the room and you steal everyone
I see you walk into the room
And you kill everyone cause I know

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

How did you figure that I let you cut me down
Right at the knees,
I fall like a dead man out of the airplane
How do you figure that I let you drag me around, huh?
You got my number, draw me a story tell me a picture
I walk into the room and you've had everyone
And then you walked into the room, it’s so sad everybody already knows

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

Even when I live, a piece of me will die
Win some, lose some, she won’t bat an eye
Maybe when I sleep
I’ll see you in my dreams
Forget about it one day
The day I might see you
You walk into the room and you fucked everyone
And then you walked into the room, well so what, everybody already knows

My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye
My someday’s gone now
Bye bye

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Beekeeper's Daughter lyrics - The All-American Rejects

I’ve been goin’ a thousand ways
Choked a hundred hearts in half as many days
Oh no, I think so
And I get so lost inside this city
You ugly girls all look so pretty, it’s true
What am I supposed to do?

I still got you waitin’
Look out your window
What do you see?
You don’t see me

You’re a pretty little flower
I’m a busy little bee
Honey, that’s all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
But then I’m gonna leave
Honey I know you’ll wait for me

Laaadadadadaaa

You’re all alone but you understand
That we’re too young to start making plans agreein’
Monogamy’s not a part of me
And I know my line and is just a sin
But I swear to you I’m gonna do it again
I’m not making any friends

I just wanted you to wait
There out your window
What do you see?
You don’t see me

Cause you’re a pretty little flower
But I’m a busy little bee
Honey, that’s all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
Baby then I’m gonna leave
Honey I know you’ll wait for me

Laaadadadadaaa ladadadaadadadadaaa

Pulled out your picture the other day
(Oh isn’t that sweet)
You didn’t have that much to say
(Cause it wasn't even me)
Cause I know that you said
I’m better off on my own and I’m better off dead

I just want you there to wait
Look out your window
What do you see?
You don’t see me

Come on, come on, come on
Pretty little flower
I’m a busy little bee
Honey that’s all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
Maybe two or maybe three
Honey, I know you’ll wait for me

Laaadadadadaaa ladadadaadadadadaaa

Honey, that’s all you had to

Fast And Slow lyrics - The All-American Rejects


If only for tonight.
Yeah I could dig myself a grave,
But even 6 feet down I know
I'll be found feeling this way.
If only I could find
Yeah just a reason to believe,
That there's nothing that's up your sleeve
Even though you're wearing that tank top.
Love me or leave me but just not behind.
We don't need money the way we spend time
'Cause if it's real tonight, you and I could really do something.

[Chorus]
You go fast. I'll go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know.
It's gonna be alright, (it's gonna be alright)
If it's me and you tonight (If it's me and you tonight).
You go fast, I go slow
Light my fuse and your body explodes.
It's going to be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Are you ready now? I'm ready now.

If only I were bright (if only I were bright)
Then I could let go of my brain
Put a tourniquet on and your sweet injection into my vein
And Oooh, that's the stuff (that's the the stuff you give to me it's like a-)
And I say that you're the drug.
Twelve steps wouldn't be enough to kick your just that rough.
Make me a crazy I just can't define.
There's not a closet for you in my mind
Oh, but you puzzle me tonight.
Let's play with your bits and pieces.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Baby...
Oooh I wanna take my time. (I need you baby...)
If you stay with me once again, once again.
It's a heart attack, heart attack
'Cause I want you so bad. (oh I want you too)
Well I hope (this lasts) for ever (and ever)

You go fast.. I'll go slow

[Chorus]

Are you ready now? [x3]

Heartbeat Slowing Down lyrics - The All-American Rejects

I still remember that empty look left on your face
You took the pictures but you left the frames
All we had written, well, it's been erased
Something that I had to do
I cut you deep, you're bleeding through
You're every single shade of blue
I'm staring right in front of you

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around
You can take my life
All you need, make me right
I can't sleep with your heartbeat slowing down

Here you left scattered
Like wishes I led to your room
I bury my face in your pillow
Just to smell your perfume
Outside I'm hungry
But inside I'm just consumed
Tell me how am I supposed to breathe
When losing you is choking me?

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around
You can take my life
All you need, make me right
I can't sleep with your heartbeat slowing down

I fucking hate this town
I wanna burn it down
I never felt so cold
And when I burn this town
I hope I burn it down
And leave me on my own

I fucking hate this town (just see me)
I wanna burn it down (just see me)
I never felt so cold (just see me)

I hear your heartbeat slowing down

Slow

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down (heartbeat slowing down)
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around (heartbeat slowing down)
You can take my life (take my life)
All you need (all you need), make me right
How can you sleep with your heartbeat slowing down?
I can hear your heartbeat slowing down

Walk Over Me lyrics - The All-American Rejects


(Hmm, so tell me about your mother)

Doctor, doctor
Could you please just give me somethin' for the state I'm in
I'm having trouble and society believe I got it wrong again
I'm one month sober I don't think I'm getting over my predicament
But if I jumped out of the window what would she say

It's not on me, it's all on you
We can't deny the things we do
I can't believe her pretty feet walked over me
All over me

Help me, help me doc
It seems to be an awful lot for me to understand
I know I'm not a specimen,
The troubles and the mess I'm in
I should be dead
He said, let's all start think
That you've had all your fun
It's time to be a man
So you better quit your bitchin
Think about what the people would say

It's not on me, it's all on you
I can't prescribe what you want me to
You need some sleep, you better leave
You walked over me
All over me

Wait until tomorrow, and it's gone
So long
Wait until tomorrow, so long
It's gone
Wait until tomorrow
You beg and steal and borrow till it's gone

(He don't got a lot but he's got all he needs)
I need someone to love
(And all he's got well it's all that he needs)
Somebody help me cause I could hear the voices in the tube
To get me through anything I do and anything will do good by me
A little pill, a little thrill, should I take it I think I will
And anything will do good so as long as it's always too good
Either way I don't give a damn what you people all say
All now boy

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's not on me, it's all on you
I can't deny the things I do
I can't believe her pretty feet walked over me
All over me

It's not on me, it's all on you
There comes a time to speak the truth
So you can see me when I leave
Walk over you
All over you

Out The Door lyrics - The All-American Rejects

Shot by bedroom eyes
And that screaming silence frozen fire hypnotize
And I can't disguise the words that I steal from your lips
> A ransom for your body, bind your fingertips
Then just so be it

And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door
And next to you
And I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

We're both right
We feast on poisoned apples and I'm just in time
But I'm petrified
Oh I take my time and you're the clock
And that second hand you place on me
My heart could stop
And it's tick tock tick tock

And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door
And next to you
Cause I needed to
And I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

Every single day I remember you would take away
Even if it's wrong

And I walk out the door
And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door
And next to you
Cause I needed to
I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

Every single day I remember you would take away
Even if it's wrong

And I walk out the door
I walk out the door
And I walk out the door

Kids In The Street lyrics - The All-American Rejects

In the night, in the beat city light
We steal ourselves away and hold on tight
You were there, yeah, we were all there
Too young, too smart, too much for this one town
We'd get so high, we got lost coming down

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?
Always keep, to the kids in the street

We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes
But no war, no peace, no hope, no means, just us
And the songs, with the words we'd sing wrong
And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, just kids in the street
Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would care?
Always keep, to the kids in the street

(huh, huh, huh) and we never felt, so alive (so alive)
(Huh, huh, huh) and we'd dance, all, night, under the sky (under the sky)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) and we'd live (we'd live), we'd breathe (we'd breathe), we'd die (we'd die)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) when the world, stood, still, for you and I
Just (you and I)

Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out (aaah)

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Say goodbye to I-35
Take me back, down a dirty road
Where it went, we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved
Mark the chapter, but turn the page
Always keep, to kids in the street
When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street

(Whoa)
(Whoa-ooh)

Bleed Into Your Mind lyrics - The All-American Rejects

How long has it been since I ripped you
These paper cut hands need to stop
And lonely's a plague but it skipped you
I suffer till you cut me up

Then I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last time

Well you put yourself together
Pieces of you slipped away
And some are forever whenever
Put me on my knees at your feet and

Then I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last time

Never forgive me, I can not forgive you
Yeah I feel you full of little lies
You're still hungry for the truth
And I know we've got our problems
Let's just try to solve them

In your mind I stay with you
I know in time you'll feel it to

Then I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last

Then I bleed into your mind
With a love that will make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last

Gonzo lyrics - The All-American Rejects

[Verse 1]
I’ll never forget when we started out
The beat of the drum
A face in the crowd
It's better this way, it’s better this way
How far we’ve come, now not a soul can change
Remember the road running under our feet
We’d shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
It's better this way, it’s better this way
Gambling with life, it was our turn to play
It’s time, only when you look forward can you see behind
We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride

[Verse 2]
Every trial and every test
We’d drive to the east and we’d fly to the west
Just running away, just running away
We can’t be different cause they’re all the same
Every night that we’d ever start, and every beat of every heart
Is running away, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
It’s time, only when you look forward could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride
Day after day in the light
We’re glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn’t hard
We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time

[Chorus]
Day after day in the light
We’re glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn’t hard
We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time
For some it’s a god, for me it’s a fact
We’d make a mistake and try to take em all back
It's better this way, it’s better this way
Out of the grind and then into the grave
It’s time, it’s time, only when you look forward could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride [x2]

Affection lyrics - The All-American Rejects

I always wonder where you are
I'm right beside you, you're so far away
Moments you're not facing me
Moments you're not chasing me
I don't believe in good good-byes
'Cause even when the roses die
There's still some thorns left in your side
It's like a funeral for the bride
And I know candy girls, yeah they just rot your teeth, but
I've always been such a sucker for sweets

I need affection
All I want right now is affection
I don't mean to point your direction
Girl it's not what you do
What you don't do makes me have to talk to you about affection
I need affection

Somewhere alone is when I died
On the banks of some canal
Yeah the river bed of tears I tried to ride
And even fools will believe in lies
And if every word you ever said were true
You'd be my god and I'd just pray to you for affection

All I want right now is affection
I don't mean to make a confession
Girl it's not what you do
What you don't do makes a man come unglued
Oh, affection, I need affection

Why won't you dance with me?
(Covered in gas you couldn't catch fire)
There's no more romance with me
(I know there's someone else burning in your eyes)
You don't think I see you
But I see right through you, baby

Whoa, affection
All I wanted was affection
All I needed was affection
What you do (what you do)
What you do (what you do)
Where'd you go?
Affection
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And don't think I see you
I see right through you
You don't think I see you
But I do

I For You lyrics - The All-American Rejects

Say the words I cannot say
Say them on another day
Fragile words like these will cut your tongue
Was I good enough, was I bad enough
When I wanted more, yeah, you had enough
But nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you

And every slow-lit cigarette
That nervous hands can barely get the courage
I could always feel your eyes
And those dresses you made look like gowns
You're a sinner but the devil even turned you down

Cause, nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you
And nobody's gonna try for you
And nobody's gonna lie for you
And nobody's gonna do like I for you

Hold me like you never could
I'll hold you like I said I would
Air or light won't breathe nor shine between
With your feather lips, yeah you fly away
Well I hope they come back down someday

Cause, nobody's gonna try for you
Nobody's gonna do like I for you
Somebody's getting by for you
I don't bend, I just break in two
Somebody like me
I'd die for you

Drown Next To Me lyrics - The All-American Rejects

Down down down into a cloud of shame
You love me like a car wreck, wrapped around a tree
Down down down, it’s the only way to go
Sometimes it's hard to hold on, without letting go

I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
Just sand in the water
Drown next to me

Now, now, now, cause the curtain has to close
We take a bow and face the crowd, realize we’re all in the show
Now just now you can rest your weary eyes
It’s only over once you leave before it makes you feel dead alive

I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
We’ll tell each other lies
That I know we’ll both believe
Just sand in the water
Drown next to me

I’m never letting go
Caught in the undertow
Take your run up and sow
Dive down 'cause I just wanna try to last both out

I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe
We can leave the ones who love us
You’re all I ever need
We’ll tell each other lies
That I know we’ll both believe
Just sand in the water
Just sand in the water
Just stand in the water
Drown next to me

Do Me Right lyrics - The All-American Rejects

I paint the moon, you draw the stars
We can do anything that you want
The night is done and young and I guess we’re just babies
You let me lead but I still follow
You tell me not to think of tomorrow
Still beg and borrow just to keep you with me
And your hand, my hand, just push the world away

Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right
I know all along
When I can’t see it you share the light
Spend all our days just to save the night
Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong

So I’m just lost but you’re a mess too
What does all the running get you?
Ever since the day I’ve met you you’ve been stronger than me
The way you fall out of your cloudy darkened skies
Then I’ll pick you off the floor and we’ll go dance out in the lightning
You and I
You and I, me and you
Either way you don’t know what to do

Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right
I know all along
When I can’t see it you share the light
Spend all our days just to save the night
Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right

Give goodness to me
You’ll never understand you want
Just be good to me
Don’t do me wrong

Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right
I know all along
When I can’t see it you share the light
This world’s got teeth just let it bite
Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right
Don’t do me wrong
Do me right, do me right

Give goodness to me
You’ll never understand you want
Just be good to me
Don’t do me wrong
