Cute Is What We Aim For : Rotation
Lyrics
1. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
So sweet I can hardly speak
Due to such trauma in my teeth
But your body language is telling me that you're worth the pain
So weak I can hardly keep
Shakey legs, holdin' up my feet
But your body language is telling me that I'm not to blame
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
But practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.
Wake up at first light, hearing you calling out
For your criminal clothing
That fled the scene
Upon being ripped free
Conversation ensued
And I want to do so many things to you
Sip after sip
You insist you're a hit
Sip after sip
Yeah, I swear I can feel it
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.
2. DOCTOR
I'm like a rookie paramedic to a siren
Praying for an accident
Nobody will let me walk
Until I've got no back up
Until they're out of control
This emergency
Brought you to me
I'll be your doctor
I'll be your cure
I'll be your medicine and more
Yeah you can rest assure
I'm your doctor, I'm your cure
I'll be your cure
I've got a secret
Please don't repeat it
I took the chemicals we took to make our chemistry
And I remixed it
It didn't fix it
All it did was make our memories a blur to me
This emergency
Brought you, brought you to me
I'll be your doctor
I'll be your cure
I'll be your medicine and more
Yeah you can rest assure
I'm your doctor, I'm your cure
I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be your whore
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be yours
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
I'll be, I'll be your cure
This emergency
Brought you to...
I'll be your doctor
I'll be your cure
I'll be your medicine and more
Yeah you can rest assure
I'm your doctor, I'm your cure
I'll be your cure
This is it for me.....this is it for me...this is it for me...this is it for me
This is it for me
This is it for me
This is it for me
This is it for me.
3. NAVIGATE ME
I'm creepin' your way and these sheets aren't stoppin' me
Because I'm gonna meet you face to face
And I'm gonna start from your waist up through your navel
And we're approaching such a place
This is where we both get scared
This is where emotion flares
This is where we both prepare
Navigate me through your body
Navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate
I love the way you talk on top of me
So navigate me through your body
I'm creepin' your way and these sheets aren't stoppin' me
Thats right it's quite simply
These sheets aren't stoppin' me
Cause my mind's on a mission
And a mind on a mission
Is a mind that you just set free
I'm creepin' your way
I'm creepin' your
This is where we both get scared
This is where emotion flares
This is where we both prepare
Navigate me through your body
Navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate
I love the way you talk on top of me
So navigate me
'Cause a mind on a mission
With enough ammunition
And the right proposition
Is a mind that you might set free
'Cause a mind on a mission
With enough ammunition
And the proper position
Is a mind that you just set free
I love the way you talk on top me
So Navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate
I love the way you talk on top of me
So navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate me
Navigate me through your body
Navigate
I love the way you talk on top of me
So navigate me through your body
I'm creepin' your way
I'm creepin' your way
4. LOSER
(Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.)
A loser can win whenever they want to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
A loser can win whenever they choose to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
I've read of a man up in a room
Who can control everything I do
But what do I know?
What do I know?
And if the story of the man isn't true
Then tell me what I should do
Should I take off the blindfold?
Or do what I'm told?
A loser can win whenever they want to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
A loser can win whenever they choose to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
Is morality real to me?
Can I believe in what I cannot see?
Oh no, I will not be sold (I will not be sold)
The world has this ability
To make a life of sin look sweet
Oh no, this can't be complete (this can't be complete)
Oh no
But we'll never know
About the life I chose
I won't believe
I won't be so naive until I go
Yeah we'll never know
'Til these eyes close
But we'll never know
About the life I chose
I won't believe
I won't be so naive until I go
Yeah we'll never know
'Til my eyes close
Whoa...
A loser can win whenever they want to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
A loser can win whenever they choose to
All that they gotta, gotta do
Is bring you down (bring you down)
Is bring you down
I've read of a man up in a room
5. DO WHAT YOU DO
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling
So watch me take the lead
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling
So watch me take the lead, yeah
There is an engine in my body
With every beat it lets me breathe
There is a machine within my body
If I could keep up with that machine that's in my body
I could do anything, be anything, see anything
I can feel the beat within my body
If I keep up with it could I catch myself?
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can work, you can play
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can move as you make
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Quick, quick, quick, come fix me up
I need to make my move (Make my move)
This damn machine doesn't work the way that it used to
But that's what I get for taking it for granted
(I never even meant it, never even meant it)
That's what I get for taking it for granted
(No, I never even meant it, never even meant it)
If I keep up with it can I catch myself?
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can work, you can play
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can move as you make
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling
So watch me take the lead (Watch me take the lead)
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling
So watch me take the lead (Watch me take the lead)
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling (No one, no one)
So watch me, watch me take the lead
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can work, you can play
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Have you ever been fake for the sake of saving face?
You can move as you make
From the cradle to the grave
Doesn't matter what they say
Doesn't matter what they say
6. HOLLYWOOD
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence
I want to go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When flaws were fixed by laws and books
When singers wrote songs instead of hooks
When the value wasn't in the price
When the fight for life was in the civil right
When you couldn't live life through a screen
When everything you knew was as good as it seems
When the only worry was the concept of sin
When did it begin?
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence (hey)
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When pharmaceuticals weren't there to make life beautiful
When the way that we were born was more than suitable
When everybody thought that they could make a difference
And you couldn't get your fix within an instant
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence (hey)
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
(Jeff hit em’ with that solo!)
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Now take me back to the simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Don't wanna be the prey to the scalpels blade
Now please tell me, please tell me,
What ever happened?
(Ha-ha-ha-happened)
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating their lies to tell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back, take me back to the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back, take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Now take me back to the simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Don't wanna be the prey to the scalpels blade
Now please tell me, please tell me,
What ever happened?
(Ha-ha-ha-happened)
7. SAFE RIDE
No one is harder on me than myself
Or so it seems
And some say that you are my curse
My own worst enemy
I think they're wrong
I never thought our life could be like this
I never thought
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
I thought no one is smarter than me
No I don't need anyone's help
Or so it seemed
(I was so wrong)
You changed me for the good
They never understood
But even if they tried I doubt they could
So take my nervous hand
And we could take a stand
We don't have to live by their demands
Yea
I never thought our life would be like this
I never thought
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
When I'm with you there's no worries
When I'm with you there's no shame
When I'm with you I'm secure
We choose to live against the grain
They can say we lack the progress
They can say that we're a mess
They can say we'll never make it
I know we're better than their test
And I don't hear them anyway
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything… when you call me
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything and more
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
8. THE LOCK DOWN DENIAL
Slightly bruised and a little bit used
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brother's bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Prison blues, gotta pay my dues
Now I know I'll never be refused
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize?
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize?
I lived a lie
Chains and stripes
I ain't gonna sleep tonight
This is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prison-yard pavement
For the first time
So I serve time for my addiction
I pay the price for my affliction
The judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Lights out, lock down, don't make a sound
Lights out, lock down
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize? (Would anyone realize?)
If I, If I, If I deny the crime
Would I, would I, serve the time?
I lived a lie
Someone's behind the drum set in my head
Thumping a different beat myself to the sound of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's behind the drum set in my head, in my head, head
If I, If I, If I die
(Yeah)
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize? (Would anyone realize?)
If I, If I, If I deny the crime
Would I, would I, serve the time? (Serve the time)
I lived a lie
9. MARRIAGE TO MILLIONS
Whatever you put in my hands is my life savings, my main man
I got a box fit for a king on Queens Street
(Tell me that's not irony)
Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite
If I had just one chance
I'd buy romance
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
All alone in the strange city
Every other face is a blank to me
But I'm gone, gone, gone
And I'm lost in a sea of anonymity
Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
I want to know the way you're feeling
I want to heal your deepest scars
I'm drowning myself with sober thinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
I love the way the city turns
I'm yours today, I will be found
I can't stop laughing, I can't stop smiling
All the time
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there?
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
10. MISS SOBRIETY
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
You caused the confidence but you never taught it how to stay
And if I learned one thing, it's that you always have a price to pay
I've heard one man's trash is another man's treasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then (all the way back then)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Miss Confidence do you remember
When you kept me safe?
Are my eyes deceiving? Are you believing?
Or have I made you lose your faith?
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do you remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Don't you wonder why I even left her
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
This is as far as I will go
I never thought I'd get so low
When I stop the diggin' it's the bottom I know
I never thought I'd get so low
Direct me which way I should go
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Don't you wonder why I even left her
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
If I could find a way to do this over
One man's trash is another man's treasure
I should have known that she could be my savior
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
Never thought that I could get so low
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
11. TIME
Oh, oh...
The roads are wrapped around your waist
They lead me place to place
I take trips from hip to hip
In fact, I've made a career out of it
I've always thought the left was your strongest side
But when it comes to you now I can't decide
It's only a matter of time
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
Oh, oh...
Like the climate
You never know what weather you get
No denying, you're the habit that I can't quit (oh, oh)
It's only a matter of, mine.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
It's only a matter of time.
Rotating, I'm shaking
I hope you turn around in time
Tide's changing, I'm waiting
But you and I are one of a kind (You're changing)
I've been to both hemispheres
Over my short years
I still can't pick my favorite place (don't make me)
The contour of your lips,
They match the continents
And I still love the way that you taste
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive (stay alive)
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time. (only a matter of time)
It's only a matter of time.
12. HIDDEN TRACK
(1,2,3...)
You've been askin'
I've been drinkin'
Thinking about my God-forsaken
Life I lead
It's a memory
I made it be
My lips went white,
My spine teased tight
I realized it was gonna be a long night
Buttons proved to be sexier in moments like these
Sexier in moments like...
This is love,
And this is lust
I made it to be the best
And if I were to be the best
Maybe you would just...
This is love,
And this is lust,
Now which one do I trust?
So sweet I can hardly speak
Due to such trauma in my teeth
But your body language is telling me that you're worth the pain
So weak I can hardly keep
Shakey legs, holdin' up my feet
But your body language is telling me that I'm not to blame
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
But practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.
Wake up at first light, hearing you calling out
For your criminal clothing
That fled the scene
Upon being ripped free
Conversation ensued
And I want to do so many things to you
Sip after sip
You insist you're a hit
Sip after sip
Yeah, I swear I can feel it
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done what a mother wouldn't want
What a mother wouldn't want in a son
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense
To me.

5. DO WHAT YOU DO
No one is telling me the speed I should be travelling

6. HOLLYWOOD
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence
I want to go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When flaws were fixed by laws and books
When singers wrote songs instead of hooks
When the value wasn't in the price
When the fight for life was in the civil right
When you couldn't live life through a screen
When everything you knew was as good as it seems
When the only worry was the concept of sin
When did it begin?
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence (hey)
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
When pharmaceuticals weren't there to make life beautiful
When the way that we were born was more than suitable
When everybody thought that they could make a difference
And you couldn't get your fix within an instant
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating the perfect hell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back to the age of innocence (hey)
I wanna go back then
Take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
(Jeff hit em’ with that solo!)
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Now take me back to the simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Don't wanna be the prey to the scalpels blade
Now please tell me, please tell me,
What ever happened?
(Ha-ha-ha-happened)
I wonder if I could go back to old Hollywood
When presidents dropped blond bombshells
Instead of creating their lies to tell.
The way we're living makes no sense
Take me back, take me back to the age of innocence
I wanna go back then
Take me back, take me back to the age of innocence
Back to the age of innocence
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Now take me back to the simpler days
I wonder how it all happened
I wanna get older
Don't wanna fight my age
Don't wanna be the prey to the scalpels blade
Now please tell me, please tell me,
What ever happened?
(Ha-ha-ha-happened)
7. SAFE RIDE
No one is harder on me than myself
Or so it seems
And some say that you are my curse
My own worst enemy
I think they're wrong
I never thought our life could be like this
I never thought
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
I thought no one is smarter than me
No I don't need anyone's help
Or so it seemed
(I was so wrong)
You changed me for the good
They never understood
But even if they tried I doubt they could
So take my nervous hand
And we could take a stand
We don't have to live by their demands
Yea
I never thought our life would be like this
I never thought
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
When I'm with you there's no worries
When I'm with you there's no shame
When I'm with you I'm secure
We choose to live against the grain
They can say we lack the progress
They can say that we're a mess
They can say we'll never make it
I know we're better than their test
And I don't hear them anyway
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything… when you call me
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything and more
I'll be your safe ride home when you call me
I'll be everything and more when you call my name
8. THE LOCK DOWN DENIAL
Slightly bruised and a little bit used
I never thought they'd be so amused
Brother's bond broken by the bailiff
For the first time
Prison blues, gotta pay my dues
Now I know I'll never be refused
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize?
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize?
I lived a lie
Chains and stripes
I ain't gonna sleep tonight
This is no way for a man to live his life
Paranoid on the prison-yard pavement
For the first time
So I serve time for my addiction
I pay the price for my affliction
The judge took my life with his conviction
For the last time
Lights out, lock down, don't make a sound
Lights out, lock down
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize? (Would anyone realize?)
If I, If I, If I deny the crime
Would I, would I, serve the time?
I lived a lie
Someone's behind the drum set in my head
Thumping a different beat myself to the sound of the walking dead
Rinse and repeat
Someone's behind the drum set in my head, in my head, head
If I, If I, If I die
(Yeah)
If I, If I, If I die inside
Would anyone realize? (Would anyone realize?)
If I, If I, If I deny the crime
Would I, would I, serve the time? (Serve the time)
I lived a lie
9. MARRIAGE TO MILLIONS
Whatever you put in my hands is my life savings, my main man
I got a box fit for a king on Queens Street
(Tell me that's not irony)
Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite
If I had just one chance
I'd buy romance
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
All alone in the strange city
Every other face is a blank to me
But I'm gone, gone, gone
And I'm lost in a sea of anonymity
Money can't buy happiness
Man, I think the opposite
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
I want to know the way you're feeling
I want to heal your deepest scars
I'm drowning myself with sober thinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
I love the way the city turns
I'm yours today, I will be found
I can't stop laughing, I can't stop smiling
All the time
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there?
I want to know the things you're thinking
I want to be the place you are
Under the city lights, I'm sinking
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
Is anybody out there, anybody out there?
10. MISS SOBRIETY
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
You caused the confidence but you never taught it how to stay
And if I learned one thing, it's that you always have a price to pay
I've heard one man's trash is another man's treasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then (all the way back then)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Miss Confidence do you remember
When you kept me safe?
Are my eyes deceiving? Are you believing?
Or have I made you lose your faith?
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do you remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Don't you wonder why I even left her
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
This is as far as I will go
I never thought I'd get so low
When I stop the diggin' it's the bottom I know
I never thought I'd get so low
Direct me which way I should go
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Hey Miss Sobriety, do you remember me?
Or how to say my name?
Do remember when we were friends,
Yeah all the way back then
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Don't you wonder why I even left her
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
If I could find a way to do this over
One man's trash is another man's treasure
I should have known that she could be my savior
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
Never thought that I could get so low
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
I never thought I'd get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
Never thought that I could get so low
11. TIME
Oh, oh...
The roads are wrapped around your waist
They lead me place to place
I take trips from hip to hip
In fact, I've made a career out of it
I've always thought the left was your strongest side
But when it comes to you now I can't decide
It's only a matter of time
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
Oh, oh...
Like the climate
You never know what weather you get
No denying, you're the habit that I can't quit (oh, oh)
It's only a matter of, mine.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
It's only a matter of time.
Rotating, I'm shaking
I hope you turn around in time
Tide's changing, I'm waiting
But you and I are one of a kind (You're changing)
I've been to both hemispheres
Over my short years
I still can't pick my favorite place (don't make me)
The contour of your lips,
They match the continents
And I still love the way that you taste
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby
It's the only way I'll stay alive (stay alive)
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time. (only a matter of time)
It's only a matter of time.
12. HIDDEN TRACK
(1,2,3...)
You've been askin'
I've been drinkin'
Thinking about my God-forsaken
Life I lead
It's a memory
I made it be
My lips went white,
My spine teased tight
I realized it was gonna be a long night
Buttons proved to be sexier in moments like these
Sexier in moments like...
This is love,
And this is lust
I made it to be the best
And if I were to be the best
Maybe you would just...
This is love,
And this is lust,
Now which one do I trust?
