JAMIE'S ELSEWHERE LYRICS

1. Life Ain't Easy When You're A Mythical Creature

I dragged hands across the river
Quick before it's too late
Wade in
But I was just too late to save you
Quick before it's too late
With darkened eyes
We see we're falling in love
Now stuck in our homes we scream for air
In the cold of waiting to see what we become
Do we hold ourselves?
Or do we take a chance for once?
Now dry your eyes
They don't care
But we can pretend this once
Just make believe they love you

Now we almost believe
That we shouldn't be here
It's a fatal mistake
That only we could know of
In the cold
Of waiting to see what we become
Do we hold ourselves back?
Or do we take a chance?
Now dry you eyes
They don't care
But we can pretend this once
Just make believe they love you

You're falling to the ground
When we suck it up
Just lie there and pray for tomorrow
Well this can't be
Everything we've waited for
If it is we might as well be dead
So give it up, this is it
All your hopes and dreams are gone
Well I can't believe this is the end

Just wait in line, pray for forgiveness
You know we'll understand
Best friends forever
It's a crime, but what do I know?

We've all been waiting here for so long
Alone
It's been too long, you forgot
So give up all the things
You've lied to possess
(So fall in love, it follows you down)
We've been waiting for this all along
But it's too late to change
How you believe in us
(So fall in love, it follows you down)
We've been waiting for this all along

2. I Didn't Mean To Interrupt...

Just believe in anything
Just believe in everything you're told
Hold on
You've played this game with bad intentions
And all the same sick directions
From the choruses
We all believed in what they said

As the record slowly spins its last song
You start to cry
"We are nothing," it says
But you don't wonder why
It's a shame
That you never made it home
For the things that you left
Just won't seem to leave you alone

Now I won't let you feel alive
It's all you ask, it's far too much
So cry out aloud
If you feel that we're wrong about you
Are we wrong?

You call home
But it'll never be the same love
You could have had everything
Now all you do is live in shame
You're a guidebook for sinners
Turned to saints
Even alone
You can never be free of this place

No I won't let you feel alive
It's all you ask, it's far too much
So cry out aloud
If you feel that we're wrong about you
Are we wrong?

Now I will let you see
How they won't let you far from home
So cry out aloud
If you feel that we're wrong about you
Are you wrong?

3. Late Nights

Say you won't
I'm okay
That I'll be yours for all time
And I see through your eyes
Like silent daggers thrown across the floor
Where do we go from here?

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die?

Cigarettes burn out softly in the dark
It's funny how even you
Would stumble at the sight of it
You know you've done wrong
Who cares?

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die away?

No, I could not explain
The way that you escaped
They won't believe me anyway
Say goodbye now love
Goodbye my sweetheart
Say goodbye now love
You spread your wings and escaped
This place from which you came from
You left us here
You waved goodbye as you speed away
towards the sky

No I won't let you down
They won't let you go
So run love, run

Relapse, don't let go
Don't let it fall away
We are so innocent for you
Why let this die away?

4. The Love Letter Collection

Close your eyes, don't fall to pieces.

Bad luck has never been the safest foot to start with,
but what else could I do?
Its natural for us to think that this
could never be the same.
So throw it all away for all our insecurities.
Its alright.

Hold your breath and wait for sunrise.
You seem to try to find your worries in
the way I hold my own.
So close your eyes and count back to five.
You always try to dry your perfect tears,
and my shoulder's just too close.

Baby I cant, I cant just fight myself alone,
it's gotta be, it's gotta be the truth.
There must be a way to get through to you
Before it is, before it is too late.
This has such a bitter taste
Although we, we are the same.
You fell in love but I never felt the same.
So throw it all away for all our insecurities.
Its alright.

Hold your breath and wait for sunrise.
You seem to try to find your worries in
the way I hold my own.
So close your eyes and count back to five.
You always try to dry your perfect tears,
and my shoulder's just too close.

Follow your lines, don't stray from the script.
So I wont bleed for nothing, and you can't take it back.
Now I'm telling the truth, you asked for it.

Hold your breath and wait for sunrise.
You seem to try to find your worries in
the way I hold my own.
So close your eyes and count back to five.
You always try to dry your perfect tears,
and my shoulder's just too close.

5. The Saint, The Sword, And The Savior

We fell so far from home,
conscious of all the questions you will never ask.
I'll wait and see if you can ever reach a different ending.
I'm holding my breath, and we don't have long.

But we are ok,
tonight is the only thing that matters.
It's everything you've ever wanted.
But we are ok,
and even as the world dissolves around us
we'll sit inside and watch it all come down.

Don't worry babe, we can work it out.

What have they done?
Is this the only choice for us to completely give in,
how could this happen?
For all we know this could have all been planned a long time ago.
So why be alone? We wont be alone...

But we are ok,
tonight is the only thing that matters.
It's everything you've ever wanted.
But we are ok,
and even as the world dissolves around us
we'll sit inside and watch it all come down.

Let the tide walk alone.
Rely on no one to pull it in.
Did you think that it would be different?
So did I...

But we are ok,
tonight is the only thing that matters.
It's everything you've ever wanted.
But we are ok,
and even as the world dissolves around us
we'll sit inside and watch it all come down.

Even as the world dissolves around us we will watch it all come down.

6. The Politics Of Knife-Fighting

s a quiet resort to the dead
So will you stay here with me?
Those quiet calls from home
So lost and so alone
We are just fine, as anyone would be
Four years we've waited for
The chance to make it back
Now we're all left for dead
As the choir starts to sing

So we'll find out what's inside
All that we have
It's all that we have
It's what we need to know
That what we've lost is all we had
It's all that we had
It's what we need to lose

And through it all still believe it's the truth
It's a quiet lie, a mistake I'm falling for
I'm holding on just to try to save this ship
And all you do is watch it slowly sink away

So we'll find out what's inside
All that we have
It's all that we have
It's what we need to know
That what we've lost is all we had
It's all that we had
It's what we need to lose

I'm holding on just to try to save this ship
And all you do is watch it slowly sink away
And by the light
Of the headlights you're behind
I can finally see my way
So cry our for the comfort
You've been finally stripped of
Don't try and pretend you were surprised

So we'll find out what's inside
All that we have
It's all that we have
It's what we need to know
That what we've lost is all we had
It's all that we had
It's what we have to lose
It's what we have to lose

7. Play Me Something Country

This is our last song so listen up,
I'll only say this once.
You've gone too far. I've given up,
and it's too late to turn back now.
Cry in shame, you're just drunk.
So let me sober you up.

Watch me walk away.
You're falling deeper than you've been before.
You could never be the one for me
but now you're nothing at all.

Sidewalks and streetlights punching the pavement.
Thinking of all the things you've done to make things worse.
I can't believe it's true, that you're not giving in.

Quiet down, sober up, cry in vain.

Watch me walk away.
You're falling deeper than you've been before.
You could never be the one for me
but now you're nothing at all.

As sober as you are, you've falling down...

So cry out the tears from your lungs, and fall away from everything.

Watch me walk away.
You're falling deeper than you've been before.
You could never be the one for me
but now you're nothing at all.

8. That Vicious Vixen With The Beard

They're crying out for you
I'm kicking through the wounded
To force my heart to beat away from you
I know that they crawl around me
It has begun
The cracks have appeared on the surface
They're breaking down your walls
So will you fight or will you run for cover?
They're breaking in
They're breaking in so get out

They're crying out for you
I'm kicking through the wounded
To force my heart to beat away from you
I know that they crawl around me
I know they crawl around me
Cold fingers scratch
Against my perfect skin
They cry
They cry out

The things you said, they won't forget
The life you have, they want it back
So will you fight?
Or will you fall away
To let yourself go alone in this?
It seems that I've
Been trying to let you go
I knew you wouldn't stand
Fall away

9. Sweet Carolina Honey

You feel you're close to the edge,
you fight off the terror of knowing what you're about to do.
Is this what your heart asks,
for falling to the ground?

So feel alive or believe that you want this for yourself,
to follow blindly up over the edge.
There's nothing to prove you've nothing to gain,
to just give up and throw it away.
So is this what you want?

You feel you're close to the edge,
you fight off the terror of knowing what you're about to do.
Is this what your heart asks,
for falling to the ground?

So what gives you the right to be so heartless?
Who gave up on you?
Do you feel thats a good enough excuse?
I doubt you'll ever see the truth.
No I expect you wont...

You feel you're close to the edge,
you fight off the terror of knowing what you're about to do.
Is this what your heart asks,
for falling to the ground?

So step over the edge.
Take a breath as your heart stops beating again,
Screaming to feel alive.
We cant save you from this.
Terror grips at your heart.
Oh god please just stop this,
to feel alive.

So is this where your heart breaks?
It's falling to the ground.
So is this where your heart breaks?
It's falling to the end of all we are.

10. Memories Make Good Company

When the rooms are filled with shadows
And the ghosts of yesterday are all that remain
You're still there
Just waiting for a touch
A feeling of acceptance
Holding on for anything
Now why did it have to be this way
It's your biggest fear
Because who are the saved
Without the saviors

As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had

Now it's become apparent
That you're not the person that you say
You should have been careful
What you wished for
Was this worth it?

As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had

Now enter our beloved, Juliet
Forging our mistakes across the stage
We play it out
Even though we know the ending
We've been acting this scene out
Again and again
Til the lights have outshined
The star you used to be

As you cry yourself to sleep again
Before you drift away
You pray for love
Cause love is the only thing
You've never had

You call it love
We call it a lie
We're both right this time
