parted lips, two eyes too tight   remember all of the lines   it's so hard to keep a straight face   when i'm talking to myself   sunset in a solemn way   headlights on the overpass   if it gets worse you don't have to stay   any longer than you please   sit tight, don't make a move   you were always one to let it come to you   sometimes that doesn't work   sometimes you gotta stand up and shake that ass   false hopes in a well lit room   dead dreams on a photograph   i could let it get to me like it gets to you   but i think i'll leave it in the past   you can't blame me   for giving up so fast   new lies won't stop the crowd   it's just another thursday night   but i'm gonna grow out my hair   throw yesterday to the wind   i'm gonna move out west, leave this still life   new shoes on an old wood floor   you're counting on the next ten minutes   gonna stop time, gonna get the girl   but this isn't television, kid   brown eyes in a white walled room   colorblind with a thing for music   you say "love" is your favorite word   but you never find the time to use it   scraped kness in some new old jeans   you bought 'em at a store downtown   they don't make you any younger   but you like how they feel   on the skin that you hold so close   insecure, but you think no no one knows   what it's like to want to live and die at the same time   you can't blame me   for giving up so fast   new lies won't stop the crowd   it's just another thursday night   but i'm gonna grow out my hair   throw yesterday to the wind   i'm gonna move out west, leave this still life   new words on a plain white page   old songs on the radio   found love on friday night   to think you didn't want to go   touched lips on another's skin   small words in a big blue sky   i hated life before i found that song   now everything's alright   you can't blame me   for giving up so fast   new lies won't stop the crowd   it's just another thursday night   but i'm gonna grow out my hair   throw yesterday to the wind   i'm gonna move out west, leave this still life
