While I held you with our undry eyes
Happy years pass by, it's okay to cry
After all, in the end
Just pretend

Well, it's sticks and stones and broken homes
That taught us how to smile
After all, in the end
Just pretend

There's a name that plays in my head like a song
All day long, she's with me every day
After all, in the end
Just pretend

Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs

If the sun can't shine, you'll be just fine
Look into your mind where you're free
After all, in the end
Just pretend

Cos we hurt each other once before
Let's not do that again
After all, in the end
Just pretend

And a voice so familiar wakes me up in the middle
If she thinks I'm having a bad dream
After all, in the end
Just pretend

Everyone needs
Everyone needs
Everyone needs
After all it's the end


One, two, three

We're famous, contagious
We make outrageous claims
Public enemy, the Royal Family
Game over, pink champagne

Let there be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire
Let there be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire

The possibilities are endless
I can do most anything
And the impossibilities
Are beginningless and meaningless

There will be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire
There will be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire

There was this feeling I had
Like you're going to the other world
I was your destination

Oh, you race me
I will amaze thee
Radio plays me
You don't faze me
I've got no sympathy
If you're not into me
Then you're the enemy
Don't shoot me

There will be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire
There will be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire
You are dancing in my crossfire
You are dancing in my crossfire

There will be no doubt about it
There will be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire
Let there be no doubt about it
Let there be no doubt about it
You are dancing in my crossfire


Did we get it
Yes, we got it

Tell yourself the biggest lie, lose yourself
You can't run but you can hide, lose yourself
Baby, it's your time

Tell your momma that you are fine, lose yourself
Fall back on the party line, lose yourself
Honey, let's go blind

And please don't listen to a word that I say
Just stop
There's a world inside a world that's not okay
Oh, just stop

And go, when you're faster than ever
I wanna see you now
And you wanna feel me because it's like I, I, I

Don't you know I'm leaving soon and I'll lose myself
I don't know if I'll be alright when I lose myself
Oh, baby, we'll be fine

Please don't listen to a word that I say
Oh, just stop
There's a world inside a world that's not okay
Oh, baby, come on now, just stop

And you feel so unreal and it's not true
And you know what you're gonna do
Yeah, you don't know what you're gonna see
When the monsters come out like me, me
Oh, baby, you are so bright
You're so bright when you stop

It's rolling
One, two, one, two

Sorry, one, two, three, four


Oh no, love just leaves you bruised
If you wanna know
Then find something to lose

The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake
They say that good things come to those who wait

Oh, into the spiral
Oh, your world and my world
Oh, it's never final, love just leaves you bruised

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
When I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised

Oh no, did love just leave you screwed
You gotta go slow
Cos love just leaves you bruised

Oh, into the spiral
Oh, your world and my world
Oh, it's never final, love just leaves you bruised

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
When I didn't know, I didn't care
And now I know
Now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
And I've got the scars to prove it

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again
Like I care
Like I care
Love just leaves you

The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake
If good things come to those who wait
Well, I can't wait

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
When I didn't know, I didn't care
And now I know


Extended version, that's alright
How did that sound - that's fuckin' great
