Please kidnap me for just one week
Take me away from all this and don’t let me sleep
We don’t need a ransom
You can make all the rules
We don’t need to answer to anyone
Lock me in the trunk for all I care.
We’ll pray for green lights along the way
I won’t say a thing; I won’t try to run away
We don’t need a ransom
You can make all the rules
We don’t need to answer to anyone
I won’t scream (you can kick me or beat me whatever you want me to)
You can do anything
You can do anything you want
We don’t need a ransom
You can make all the rules
We don’t need to answer to anyone

What did you say that made them go away?
What did you say? What excuse did you use today?
It’s no wonder why you can’t stand up straight
And it’s no surprise, avoid another mistake
You’re an escape, you’re an escape artist
You insist on lies, they make it easier
Now he’s in your sight, will you go too far this time?
You’re an escape, you’re an escape artist
You’re so cruel when you get bored.

Sleepy Head
01:33

sleepy head your eyes are closed
thought you didn't want to be alone
would you like to share a dream
i know it's not quite what it would seem
they told you how it all should look
like crushed flowers in a book
kept the pieces in a safe
didn't want to stay
but i don't make the rules
the next door neighbor grew a beard
often sang but you'd never hear
his father left without a will
the family fights about it still
you never noticed on sunday
he put the promise ring away
waited near the pharmacy
whispered something nervously
"why don't she see me?"
sleepy head your eyes are closed
guess you spend the night alone
watching something on tv
an x-files marathon till three
never knew you used to write
sketching stories late at night
dusty notebooks on the shelf
nothing that can't be helped
but you will never know

Laughing like Strangers
03:44
|
|
||
We laugh like strangers, scratching our knees
Keep from turning the conversation to what we’re both thinking
We laugh like strangers with nothing to say
Shoulders get heavy, shoulders get heavy
Laughing like strangers we don’t know any better
We go around; we go around always in circles
We laugh like strangers, folding shapes in our hands
Shoulders get heavy with nothing to say
We go around; we go around always in circles

We all know what’s wrong, and we can guess what’s right
But you treat Jesus like a drug
And I think you’ve had enough
Being scared of hell is no way to live
You treat Jesus like a drug
And I think you’ve had enough
And we’ll all throw stones until we make the same mistakes.

We Heard Everything
03:00

We’re at the drive in
The care behind us forgot to turn
It’s headlights off
And we can’t see a thing that’s on the screen
But we still listen through the stereo
The movie’s long, but I know the battery will last
We can’t see the monsters on the screen
But we know when someone dies from how they scream
It’s not hard to imagine, yeah it could happen
It’s not hard to imagine, yeah it could happen
We just listen through the stereo
The movie’s long, but I know the battery will last
The movie’s long, but I know the battery won’t die

If you were a zombie
02:34
|
|

If you were a zombie I wouldn’t shoot you in the head
I’d do my best to find an antidote and bring you back from the undead.
If I was a vampire I wouldn’t bite your neck
I’d make you dinner but it won’t be you that’s dinner instead.
If you were a mad scientist, you could bring me back from the grave
And teach me all the things I could do with half a brain
But if I was a werewolf I’d make you one too
And every month we can run away and hide out under the moon

Oh, I bet you wouldn’t know
If it was right in front of your face
I found out too late.
Go ahead you know you’ll fail.
Each time you try to impress
You just end up a mess
You know you’re not his best
Go ahead you know you’ll fail
It’s what you do, not what you say.

and it's strange to think about the things you think about
when you try to fall asleep but you can't
everything things so slow in the dark
everything moves so slow in the dark
and those things you kept inside my head never stay where you left them
but i guess it's always for the best
everything things so slow in reverse
everything moves so slow in reverse

It's starting to show
08:50

I can see the grass poking through the back
Of the snow angel we made last night
Now it’s not so white
I can’t see the lines through the trees
Now that less things die
And we’ll wait outside
And we’ll wait till the sun separates the chemicals we’re bonded to
Like fat, distorted snowmen melting on the lawn.
