You need him. I could be him…
I could be an accident but I’m still trying.
That’s more than I can say for him.

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won’t find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

Someday I’ll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you…in the meantime I’ll sport my
brand new fashion of waking up with pants on at 4:00 in the afternoon.

You need him. I could be him…
I could be an accident but I’m still trying.
That’s more than I can say for him.

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won’t find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

(won’t find out) he won’t find out
(won’t find out) he won’t find out

Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won’t find out what I know: you were the last good thing about this part of town.

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through
our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again [x4]

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more?
When love

put your hand between
an aching head and an aching world
we’ll make them so jealous
we’ll make them hate us
an aching head and an aching world
we’ll make them so jealous
we’ll make them so jealous

always you make my stomach turn
and all the long drives
with my friends blur
and I wish I kept them inside my mind
I hide behind these words

and think of all the places
where you’ve been lost
and then found…out
in between my sheets
in between the rights and the wrongs

put your hand between
an aching head and an aching world
we’ll make them so jealous
we’ll make them hate us
aching head and an aching world
think of all the places
where you’ve been lost and found…out

your remorse hasn’t fallen on deaf ears
rather ones that just don’t care
cause i know
that you’re in between arms somewhere
next to heartbeats where you shouldn’t be asleep
now i’ll teach you a lesson for keeping secrets from me

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in while [x2]

and did you hear the news
i could dissect you and gut you on this stage
not as elequent as i may have imagined
but it will get the job done
you’re done
every line is plotted and designed
to leave you standing on your bedroom windows ledge
and everyone else that it hits
that it gets to
is nothing more than collateral damage

take your taste back
peel back your skin
and try to forget how it feels inside
you should try saying no once in a while
oh once in a while [x2]

I keep my jealousy close,
‘Cause it’s all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I’m not the only one lying.

[Chorus: x2]
Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I’ll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day.

And I keep my jealousy close,
‘Cause it’s all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I’m not the only one lying.

Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me…

[Chorus x2]

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I’ll weigh you down.
I’ll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
[x3]
[During 3rd repeat:]
(Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)

[Chorus x3]
[comes back in during chorus 2nd time:]
(So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I’ll weigh you down.
I’ll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)
