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

Hit and Run 03:45
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
4.
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
5.
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.
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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.
9.
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
10.
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.
