Taking Back Sunday Lyrics




Track 1- You Know How I Do

So sick, so sick of being tired. 
And oh so tired of being sick. 
We're both such magnifacent liars. 
So crush me baby, I'm all ears. 
So obviously desperate, so desperatly obvious. 
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines
all about "cleaning up my act..." 

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 

So sick, so sick of being tired. 
And oh so tired of being sick. 
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about. 
So obviously desperate, so desperatly obvious. 
So good at setting bad examples. 
Listen, chic, I've had all I can handle. 

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore. 

Think of all the fun you had. 
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time. 
Think of all the days you spent alone with just your T.V. set and......
"I can barely smile" 

Think of all the fun you had. 
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time. 
Think of all the days you spent alone with just your T.V. set and......
"I can barely smile" 

Let's go... 
He's smoked out in the back of the van,
says he's held up with holding on and on and on. 
He's smoked out in the back of the van,
says he's held up with holding on and on and on.





Track 2- Bike Scene

I'll leave the lights down low 
so she knows I mean business 
And maybe we could talk this over 
Cause I could be your best bet 
Let alone your worst ex 
And let alone your worst... 

I wanna hate you so bad 
But I can't (but I can't) stop this 
anymore than you can 

So honestly, how could you say those things 
when you know they don't mean anything 
And you know very well 
that I can't keep my hands to myself, 
hands to myself 

I wanna hate you so bad 
But I can't (but I can't) stop this 
anymore than you can 

This is all wrong and it shows 
There's certain things I promised not to let you know, 
(I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the edge of my seat, 
I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the...) 
not to let you know 
I never let you, never let you, never... 

You've got this silly way 
of keeping me on the edge of my seat 
But you're only counting the clock against the train 
And I'm miserable, oh 
(I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the edge of my seat, 
I've got a silly way of keepin you up on the...) 
And you're just getting started 
I'm miserable, oh 
And you're just getting started 

You've got me right where you want me 
(let's never talk) Let's never talk, let's never, 
let's never talk about this again because... 
I didn't want it to mean that much to me 
I didn't want it to mean that much to me 
I didn't want it to mean that much to me 
I didn't want it to mean that much to me 

Anyway... yeah





Track 3- Cute Without The E (Cut From The Team)

Your lipstick, his collar.. don't bother Angel 
I know exactly what goes on 

When everything you'll get is 
everything that you've wanted, princess 
(well which would you prefer) 
My finger on the trigger, or 
(me face down, down across your floor) 
Me face down, down across your floor 
(me face down, down across your floor) 
Well just so long as this thing's loaded 

And will you tell all your friends 
you've got your gun to my head 
This all was only wishful thinkin, 
this all was only wishful thinkin 
And will you tell all your friends 
you've got your gun to my head 
This all was only wishful thinkin, 
this all was only wishful thinkin 
let's go... 

Don't bother trying to explain Angel 
I know exactly what goes on when you're on and 
How about I'm outside of your window 
(how about I'm outside of your window) 
Watchin him keep the details covered 
You're such a sucker (you're such a sucker) 
for a sweet talker, yeah 

And will you tell all your friends 
you've got your gun to my head 
This all was only wishful thinkin, 
this all was only wishful thinkin 
(the only thing that I regret is that I, I never let you hold me back) 
And will you tell all your friends 
you've got your gun to my head 
This all was only wishful thinkin, 
this all was only wishful thinkin 

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens 
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins 
I wil never ask if you don't ever tell me 
I know you well enough to know you never loved me 
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens 
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins 
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me 
I know you well enough to know you never loved me 
Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens 
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins 
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me 
I know you well enough to know... 

Why can't I feel anything 
from anyone other than you? 
Why can't I feel anything 
from anyone other than you? 

And all of this was all your fault 
And all of this 

(I stay jealous) 
I stay wrecked and jealous for this, 
for this simple reason 
I just need to keep you in mind 
as something larger than life 
(she'll destroy us all before she's through 
and find a way to blame somebody else) 
I stay wrecked and jealous for this, 
for this simple reason 
I just need to keep you in mind 
as something larger than life 
(she'll destroy us all before she's through 
and find a way to blame somebody else) 
I stay wrecked and jealous for this, 
for this simple reason 
I just need to keep you in mind 
as something larger than life!





Track 4- There's No "I" In Team

Well I can't regret, 
can't you just forget it? 
I started something I couldn't finish 
And if we go down, 
we go down together 
best friends means, 
well best friends means 

And I've got a twenty-dollar bill 
that says you're up late night starting 
fist fights versus fences in your backyard 
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor 
Soaking in sympathy 
from friends who never loved you 
nearly half as much as me 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms 
All I did was what I had to 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's just what anyone would do 
Take the time to talk about it 
Think a lot and live without it 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's something unforgivable...ohoh 

Well I can't regret, 
can't you just forget it? 
I started something I couldn't finish 
If we go down, 
we go down together 
best friends means, 
well best friends means 

You never knew 
well i never told you... 
Everything I know about breaking hearts 
I learned from you, it's true 
I've never done it with the style and grace you have 
But I've made long term plans 
based on these mistakes 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms 
All I did was what I had to 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's just what anyone would do 
Take the time to talk about it 
Think a lot and live without it 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's something unforgivable 

Is this what you call tact? 
I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back 
so let's end this call, 
and end this conversation 
there's nothing worse... 
(that's right he said, that's right he said it) 
I swear, you have no idea 
The jealousy that became me thinking 
(that's right he said) 
that you always had it way too easy 

Broken down in bars and bathrooms 
All I did was what I had to 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's just what anyone would do 
Take the time to talk about it 
Think a lot and live without it 
Don't believe me when I tell you 
it's something unforgivable 

Best friends means I pulled the trigger 
Best friends means you get what you deserve 
Best friends means I pulled the trigger 
Best friends means you get what you deserve 
Best friends means I pulled the trigger 
Best friends means you get what you deserve 
Best friends means I pulled the trigger 
Best friends means you get what you deserve 
Best friends means I pulled the trigger 
Best friends means you get what you deserve 

Best friend thinks I pulled the trigger!!! 
Best friend thinks you get what you deserve!!!





Track 5- Great Romances of the 20th Century

September never stays this cold 
where I come from 
And you know 
I�m not one for complaining, 
But I love the way you�d roll 
excuses off the tip of your tongue 
as I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly) 
fall apart 

This won�t mean a thing come tomorrow 
and that�s exactly how I�ll make it seem 
Cause I'm still not sleeping, 
thinking I�ve crawled home from worse than this 

So please, please (please) 
I�m running out of sympathy (I'm running out of sympathy!) 
and I never said I�d take this 
I never said I'd take this lying down 

She says 
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with� 
She says 
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with� 
(I never said I�d take this lying down, let's just get this over with,
and I've crawled home from worse than this) 
She says 
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with� 
She says 
"come on, come on.." 

You always come close but this never comes easy, 
I still know everything 
You always come close but this never comes easy, 
I still know everything 
You always come close but this never comes easy, 
I still know everything 
You always come so close... 
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know... 

You always come close but this never comes easy 
You always come close but this never comes easy 
You always come... you come in close 

I never said I'd take this lying down 
I never said I'd take this lying down 
I never said I'd take this lying down 
but I've crawled home from worse than this 

If it's not keeping you up nights 
then what�s the point 
then what�s the point 
then what�s the point 
then what�s the point 

I'm in your room 
now is this turning you on 
am I turning you on? 

I'm in your room 
are you turned on? 

I'm on the corner of your bed, 
I'm practically naked, 
are you turned on, 
are you turned on?





Track 6- Ghost Man On Third

Jynx me something crazy 
Thinking if it's three 
then I'm as smooth as the skin 
rolls across the small of your back 
It's too bad it's not my style 
If you need me 
I'm out and on the parkway, 
patient and waiting for headlights, 
dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the 
inconsistencys of my moods 

It's times like these where silence means everything 
And no one is to know about this 
It's times like these, where silence means everything 
And no one is to know about this 

It's a campaign of distraction 
and revisionist history, oh 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice 
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice) 
It's a shame I doubt they even care 
(it's a shame I doubt they even care) 
No one is to know about this 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice 
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice) 
It's a shame I doubt they even care 
(it's a shame I doubt they even care) 
Don't let me down 

But whatever I have gettin myself into 
maybe has been slicing inches from my waist 
It's my fist vs. the bottle 
(and thank god you weren't there...) 
And that's how bad could this hurt 
or against I won't feel a thing 
(and thank god you weren't there...) 
I tell you all about it 
It's just not working out 
(...to watch me hit the bottle) 
not working out 

It's a campaign of distraction 
and revisionist history, oh 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice 
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice) 
It's a shame I doubt they even care 
(it's a shame I doubt they even care) 
No one is to know about this 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice 
(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice) 
It's a shame I doubt they even care 
(it's a shame I doubt they even care) 
Don't let me down 

This is why we were taught so much better than this 
This is why we were taught so much better than this 

This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does 
This is what living like this does





Track 7- Timberwolves At New Jersey

Get up, get up 
Come on, come on, lets go 
There�s just a few things 
I think that you should know 
Those words at best 
were worse than teenage poetry 
Fragment ideas 
and too many pronouns 
Stop it, come on 
You�re not making sense now 
You can't make them want you 
They're all just laughing 

Literate and stylish (literate and stylish) 
Kissable and quiet (kissable and quiet) 
Well that's what girls dreams are made of 
And that's all you need to know (and that�s all you need to know) 
You have it or you don't (you have it or you) 
You have it or you (don't) 

You have it or you 
You see how much time you're wastin? 
You're coward of seperatin 

Stop it, come on 
you know I can�t help it 
I got the mic 
and you got the mosh pit 
What will it take 
to make you admit that you were wrong? 
Was his demise so carefully constructed? 
Well let's just say I got what I wanted 
Cause in the end it�s always the same (you're still gone) 
Lets go 

Literate and stylish (literate and Stylish) 
Kissable and quiet (kissable and quiet) 
Well that's what girls dreams are made of 
And that's all you need to know (and that�s all you need to know) 
You have it or you don't (you have it or you) 
You have it or you (don't) don't 

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue 
And my eye through the scope 
down the barrel of a gun (gun,gun) 
Remind me not to ever act this way again 
This is you trying hard to 
make sure that you're seen 
With a girl on your arm 
and your heart on your sleeve 
Remind me not to ever think of you again 
This is me with the words 
on the tip of my tongue 
And my eye through the scope 
down the barrel of a gun 
Remind me not to ever act this way again (again) 
again (again) 

This is me with the words 
on the tip of my tongue 
And my eye on the scope 
down the barrel of a gun 
I'll never act this way again 

Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know) 
you've had your chance and folded 
Don't hold your breath 
because you'll only make things worse 
Rest the weight (I know somethin that you don't know) 
you've had your chance and folded 
Don't hold your breath 
because you'll only make things worse 

(I know somethin that you don't know) 
This is me with the words 
(I know somethin that you don't know) 
And you sure don�t 
Hold your, hold your breath 
(I know somethin that you don't know) 
Because you'll only make things worse 
Hold your breath 
Because you'll only make things worse 
Hold your breath 
(I know somethin that you don't know) 
because you'll only make things worse 

Don't hold your breath because you�ll only make things worse!





Track 8- The Blue Channel

And I'm not so sure 
if I'm sure of anything anymore 
Well this is the last night (this is the last night) 
that you'll be keepin' 
secrets from me 

Just hit the lights before you leave 
you know, the million things you had to say 
sorry just, just might have found it's way in there 
somehow, someway 
But don't worry sweetie 
cause I already know 

And I'm not so sure 
if I'm sure of anything anymore 
Well this is the last night (this is the last night) 
that you'll be keepin' 
secrets from me 

And you're so guilty it's disgusting 
He's been sneakin underneath your sheets 
and your hands 
have been in places that they probably shouldn't go 
but don't worry sweetie 
cause I already know 

Regardless if my pictures 
they don't line your mirror 
Regardless you know that 
I'll still wait for your call 

Regardless if my pictures 
they don't line your mirror 
Regardless you know that 
I'll still wait for your call 

(this is, this is the last time i still wait for your call) 
Regardless if my pictures 
they don't line your mirror 
Regardless you know that 
I'll still wait for your call 

(honestly, honestly, honestly, honestly)





Track 9- You're So last summer

She said 
"don't, don't let it go to your head 
Boys like you are a dime a dozen, 
Boys like you are a dime a dozen" 
She said 
"you're a touch overrated, 
you're a lush and I hate it 
but these grass stains on my knees 
they won't mean a thing" 

And all I (all I) 
Need to know (need to know) 
Is that I'm somethin you'll be missin 
(is that I'm somethin that you're missin) 
(maybe I should hate for this) 
Maybe I should hate you for this 
Never really did ever quite get that far 
(maybe I should hate for this) 
Maybe I should hate you for this 
Never really did ever quite get that... 

I'd never lie to you 
Unless I had to 
I'll do what I got to 
Unless I had to 
I'll do what I go to, the truth 
is you could slit my throat 
And with my one last gasping breath 
I'd apologize for bleedin on your shirt 

And all I (all I) 
Need to know (need to know) 
Is that I'm somethin you'll be missin 
(is that I'm somethin that you're missin) 
(maybe I should hate for this) 
Maybe I should hate you for this 
Never really did ever quite get that far 
(maybe I should hate for this) 
Maybe I should hate you for this 
Never really did ever quite get that... 

Cuase I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions 
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name 
Cuase I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions 
This'll be last chance you get to drop my name 

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar





Track 10- Head Club

Well it's getting colder and you're getting distant 
and I just keep thinkin 
that I never meant it to be like this(to be like this) 
You know what comes next(so do I) 
You�re begging for a way to gracefully bow out 
and say goodnight 

It's worse than you think 
On your way home you should have known 
you never listen to me 
I�m only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie 
I�m only complaining to keep myself busy, sweetie 

I can�t say I blame you 
but I wish that I could 
I�m sick of writing every song about you 

Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving 
(I'm sick of writing every song about you) 
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving 
(I'm sick of writing every song about you) 
Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
