I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) (Album Version)

[00:11.27] Well, joke me something awful
[00:13.49] Just like kisses on the necks of best friends
[00:18.71] We're the kids who feel like dead ends
[00:24.70] And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
[00:30.92] I took the shot and didn't even come close
[00:37.40] At trust, and love, and hope
[00:43.26] And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
[00:49.72] And never had it at all
[00:55.73] And the record won't stop skipping
[00:58.95] And the lies just won't stop slipping
[01:02.00] And besides my reputation's on the line
[01:08.21] We can fake it for the airwaves
[01:11.54] Force our smiles, baby, half dead
[01:14.50] From comparing myself to everyone else around me
[01:24.51]
[01:26.68]
[01:32.34] Please put the doctor on the phone
[01:35.82] 'Cause I'm not making any sense
[01:39.27] Blame everyone but me for this mess
[01:45.31] And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
[01:51.93] We never seemed so far
[01:57.92] I'm hopelessly hopeful
[02:00.93] You're just hopeless enough
[02:04.01] But we never had it at all
[02:10.35] And the record won't stop skipping
[02:13.68] And the lies just won't stop slipping
[02:16.60] And besides my reputation's on the line
[02:22.98] We can fake it for the airwaves
[02:26.08] Force our smiles, baby, half dead
[02:29.35] From comparing myself to everyone else around me
[02:38.84] To everyone else around me
[02:45.29] Everyone else around me
[02:51.34] Everyone else around me
[02:58.89]
