Bells

I don't want a whisper that fades away
I have put my heart in far too many temporary things
After every heartbreak you'd think I might become
Colder, but my heart yearns for the bells, the bells, the drums
And I won't give in
No I won't give up
I can see the fire, dying, embers underneath the dust
I will not give in
I will not give up
When my heart is crying, crying for the bells, the bells
The bells, the bells, the drums
No, I don't want someone who tells me everything I want
Who comes when he is called and runs away when he is not
Give real love in spades and, pray, don't hold it back from me
A reason to believe's the only treasure that I need

My Own Worst Enemy

Like you’ve never been happy
Like you’ve never been satisfied
Like you’re constantly waiting for someone to lay you down to die
Like you’ve always been angry
Like you just never arrived
And each atom is screaming, in you, for the chance to live its life
It sounded better in my head
I swore I would do right by them
But each time I held them in my hands
I through them all away, time and time, time and time again
(Time and time again, time and time again)
Like you know you don’t love them
And you’re just too tired to leave
Like you’ve settled for a bed to forget your shattered dreams
Like you know its been ending
Since the day that it began
Like you knew inside your heart that it’d all just been pretend
It sounded better in your head
You swore, I can do right by them
But every time they’re in your hands
You throw them all away, time and time, time and time again
Time and time again
(Ooh, ooh…)
I am my own worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy
What in the world is wrong with me?
It’s like I’ve never been happy
Like I’ve never been satisfied
Like I’m constantly waiting for someone to lay me down to do
Like it’s always been ending
like I just never arrived
Like each atom is screaming, in me, each atom is screaming that
I am my own worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy
What in the world is wrong with me?

Young for the Night

You, the one, how your eyes burn like coal
In the corner you were watching, never letting go
And I was the one trying not to attract attention like that
But your gaze just won’t leave me alone
Leave me alone, I can’t deny that it just won’t
And that I don’t, don’t really object
I’m tired of this set, tired of knowing what people expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize
And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who’s that? Your friend?
Let’s just pretend
Oooh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah
Now I, the one, sitting all on my own
Waiting for an opportunity to go
But you draw me in with your beautiful words
You ease on my hurts and your heartbeat won’t leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
I can’t deny that it just won’t
And that I don’t, don’t really object
I’m tired of this set
Tired of knowing what you all expect
But you, fire behind your eyes
Hold out the fount of youth before me like a prize
And I just wanna be young for the night
Down for the ride, just for tonight
Be young with me and forget your plans
Who’s that? Your friend?
Let’s just pretend
Oooh ah, ah, ooh ah, ah
It feels like it’s happening anew
You just forget what it feels like to have somebody else want you
It feels like falling fast in love again
And I’d rather sink than swim
It may be crazy, but it feels so right…
And I just wanna be young for the night
I just wanna be young for the night
I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young
I just wanna be young, I just wanna be young…
I just wanna be (just wanna be) xrepeat a few times
