1. The Great Escape


Paper bags and plastic hearts
Out belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and drive around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
We'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think its just cause were young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind me
The answers that we'll never find
They dont mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight



2. Five Minutes to Midnight


Brown eyes and lungs are filled up with smoke
Fast lives are stuck in the undertow
But you know the places I wanna go

'Cause oh oh oh,
I've got a sickness
You've got the cure
You've got the spark I've been lookin' for
And I've got it planned we walk out the door

You Know You wanna just let go,
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it oh oh oh
We got all we need
So here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're comin' home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright
At five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop
And come alive

We could pack up
And leave all our things behind
No fact, or fiction, or storyline
'Cause I need you more than just for tonight

You're oh oh oh like air
I can't stop my breathing in
I'm weak and you are my medicine
I won't stop till I am under your skin

You Know you wanna just let go
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it oh oh oh
We got all we need
So here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright
At five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop
And come alive

And when the clock strikes twelve
Will you find another boy to
Go and kiss and tell
'Cause you know I never will
I think we should strike a match
And we'll hold it to the wind to
See how long it lasts
We can make the time stand still

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough, shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright
At five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop
And come alive

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight(tonight)
I can't get enough, shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright
At five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights(city lights)
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop
And come alive



3. Hero / Heroine


It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a clouds
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold on my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And its so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie

You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I feel like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin? x2



4. On Top of the World


Look up, the stars are fading
And I am still here waiting
To see you again
Be with you my friend

When the moon is gone forever
I hope you're up there somewhere
I'll see you again
Be with you my friend

'Cause all the roads they lead to where you are
And all the streetlights shine like they were stars
That's where you are

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

Look out across the water
Faces of lonely daughters and mothers who care
But just can't be there
Swear that I will see you someday
I have to find a way
To show you I care
Even if you're not there

So I'm following the road to where you are
(Meet you tonight on top of)
The streetlights they will guide me to the stars
That's where you are

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

My heart is empty without you
Sometimes I don't know what to do
And I need you tonight
I'll fall asleep and it's alright
Close my eyes and I'll be by your side

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
And we can do anything,
We can be anything
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams

Let's spend tonight on top of the world
(On top of the world)
As real as it seems,
Your only in my dreams



5. Thunder


Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know, whoa
Today I'm on my own
I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain,
And bring on the thunder.

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain

And listen to the thunder



6. Me You and my Medication


Found my way to the highway I don't wanna tell you the state Im in
I've had too much to smoke too much to drink where have I been
It feels like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in
And I don't know where to begin

We're all looking for something
To take away the pain

Me and you and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me you and my medication

The way back to the right track maybe you can help me find the door
Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore
It feels like your bodys getting closer but you seem so far away
Medicine make it ok

We're all looking for someone
To take away the pain

Me and you and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me you and my medication

Can you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Coming down
You gotta get up
Can you get up
Off the ground
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me screaming?
Can you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Coming down
You gotta get up
Can you get up
Off the ground
I wanna hear it
Wanna hear you breathing

Were all addicted to something
That takes away the pain

Me and you and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me you and my medication



7. Up Against the Wall


It's over, look out below
and I'm wasted, I still taste it
Yeah it's so hard to let go
So breathe in now, and breathe it out
The forecast; A car crash
It's looking like another
Breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You crossed your heart, I hope to die

And I can't deny your eyes
You know I tried to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

No rewinds, no second times
I won't break, I won't waste
Everything you left behind
So don't follow, just let it go
But the weather's been better
don't let it be another
Breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You crossed your heart, I hope to die

And I can't deny your eyes
You know I tried to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

All the nights I spent sitting at home
While you were out there on your own
All the nights I waited by the phone
while you were going it alone
And all your different faces
And all your different ways
of making everything a mess
(And all I'm saying is that)
all your different places and
All the complications laid to rest

And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all..



8. Dance Hall Drug


Grown up- she just turned 16
Stuck in the moment
Dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is the life that you wanted, right?
So turn off all the lights
Dressed up just like a movie star
At all the parties, they'll know who you are
Wouldn't it be great
To be fashionably late?
So why don't you wait 'til you're sedated

Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?

What I'm saying is do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove, it's just a dance hall drug

Step in and you can lock the door
The candles are lit and the clothes on the floor
You could take a chance on finding romance
Now you're holding hands
But he's got other plans
Tick-tock, the clock is turning red
The room won't stop spinning and thoughts in your head
And it's too late
You feel like you're making a big mistake
You should've waited

Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?

What I'm saying is do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove, it's just a dance hall drug

Just wait, love
Show 'em what you're made of

Don't it feel like something's not right in his kiss tonight?

Do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove, it's just a dance hall drug
Do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove,
It's just a dance hall drug.



9. Learning To Fall


Today is the day
The worst day of my life
Sulk until it hurts me
I don't know why
The cost of misery
Is at an all time high
I keep it hidden
Close to the surface in sight

I'm learning to fall
I can't hardly breathe
when I'm going down don't worry 'bout me
Don't try this at home
Pretend you don't see
I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me

Could you be with him?
Or was it just a lie?
He doesn't GET you like I do
And you don't know why
You change your clothes and your hair
But I can't change your mind
Oh, I'm uninvited
So unrequieted now

I'm learning to fall
I can't hardly breathe
when I'm going down don't worry 'bout me
Don't try this at home
Pretend you don't see
I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me

Words screaming in my head
Why did you leave?
And I can't stop dreaming
Watching you and him
When it should have been
It should have been me

Today is the day
The worst day of my life

I'm learning to fall
I can't hardly breathe
when I'm going down don't worry 'bout me
Don't try this at home
Pretend you don't see
I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me

Whoa (I'm learning to fall, I can't hardly breathe)
(I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me)
Tell me that you know, it should have been me)
Whoa (Don't try this at home, You said you don't see)
I don't want to know that you know, it should've been me
Whoa (I'm learning to fall, I can't hardly breathe)
(I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me)
Tell me that you know, it should have been me
Whoa (Don't try this at home, You said you don't see)
I don't want to know that you know, it should've been me



10. Heels Over Head


I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth a hundred thousand miles
But you couldn't stay awhile

I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
And your little white socks in the top drawer
You were always leaving your shit around
And gone without a sound

Yeah I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
'Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time

I've got your hair on my pillow
And your smell in my sheets
And it makes me think about you
With the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
You mean everything to me

But I'm the first to fall,
And the last to know
Where'd you go?

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be

You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Making wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Making wishes
You're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Making wishes
Yeah you're burnin' bridges baby (burnin' bridges)
Making wishes

You're a chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger
Chance taker, heartbreaker,
Got me wrapped around your finger

I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
If I drive a hundred thousand miles
Would you let me stay a while?

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
I hope you think of me
And how I'm stuck here with the ghost
Of what we used to be

Now I'm heels over head,
I'm hangin' upside-down
Thinkin' how you left me for dead
California bound

And when you hit the coast
Maybe you'll finally see
And then you'll turn it all around
And you will come back to me



11. Broken Man


I want to scream until no sound comes out and you've learned your lesson
I want to swallow these pills to get to sleep
So I don't have to make a bad impression
I need to start to be myself
Because I'm sick of everybody else

I won't let you bring me down
It's here
And now I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man

I wanna run, but only far enough to make you miss me
I wanna take back all the shit that I have done
But I guess you were better off without me
I need to start to be myself
'cause I'm sick of everybody else

I won't let you bring me down
It's here and now
I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man

I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate

I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate

I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate

I won't let you bring me down
It's here and now
I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man

I won't let you bring me down (I took one big step and I looked away)
It's here and now I'm breaking out (and I thought of all the things that i
wanted to say
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate)
I will learn to love again (I took one big step and I looked away)
But i will stand a broken man (And I thought of all the things that I wanted to
say
I'm always to late
you never got your story straight.)



12. Holiday


When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
No one could hold me down
No one could keep me around
Now it's your turn, take a shot
Baby, show me everything that you got
Maybe you can keep me alive
Maybe you can get in my mind
But it's only a matter of time

Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

My father, he was always wise
As wise as an elephant's eyes
He couldn't hold me down
He couldn't keep me around
So are you gonna take your shot?
It's the only one that you got
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
When the lights go dim

You know I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
(Need to take a holiday)

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
And I don't think I'll ever change
I think I'm gonna stay the same

I'll run away
I need to take a holiday (Need to take a holiday)
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase (Set off on a new chase)
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

Start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
