The Night Life - The Starting Line

Last call everybody step up for another
The ring of the bell gives a yell
To the crowd that's behind you
Did she sweep you off your feet
Are you deciding not to leave without her
Without her tonight

Break down all the chairs on the tables
And my minds on you
Give up and Get into the van and go away again
Because the things you leave in the last town
Are getting out of hand
Im sorry
Im sorry about it

At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now

Tap out when the weight on you're shoulders comes down on you
You're gasping for air, and its just not fair
He gets to be with her
Here you sit trying hard,
To forget something your thinking of

Im sorry about it
Do you miss her so bad it hurts

At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now

You're all caught up
After sleeping for days
Makes up for nights you spent awake
It will take awhile to see that smile
That's laid dormant since she�s gone
You're all caught up
After sleeping for days
Makes up for nights you spent awake
It will take awhile to see that smile
That's laid dormant since she�s gone

At least you lived to talk about it
At least you got your health
At least it made you feel alive
Oh well, you wish you weren't right now

A Goodnight's Sleep - The Starting Line

a better slumber
was in your arms
spent tangled up in you
a sudden mourning
crashed in the room
with an uninvited sudden change in you

what can i say?
wheres that girl from last night
whos slept on that side
and looks just like you do?

you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away a silent pain
screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
i hope for your sake you dont wake up
as broken as i am

for a lack of better
words to say
all i said was goodnight
once again
in self defense i wont sleep a wink
to prevent dreaming of you

you can sleep in your own bed tonight
sleep away a silent pain
screaming out my name
you can sleep in your own bed tonight
i hope for your sake you don't wake up as broken as i am

sleep in your own bed tonight
i know some day you will wake up as lonely as i am
cause fate works both ways
cause fate works both ways
cause fate works both ways
so sleep in your own bed

The Best Of Me - The Starting Line

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
to meet a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too
Much to have had to let go

Turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now"

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you

We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
"Say what you're thinking out loud"

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

Turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't
That were not ready to give up

We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up

Bedroom Talk - The Starting Line

I got the talk when I was younger
And understood as I recall,
they hadn't mentioned this at all.
My heart was racing like a sprinter
That tripped and fell
In love with a girl just for tonight and that's all

I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more
than just once
I just don't know what I want

I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just tonight

I got the call when I was older
Yeah and I understood
If it happens then it happens and that's all
My arms the hose and you're the fire
Out of control and I've got put you out
Before there's nothing left at all

I've got big, big plans
And they've got to mean something more than just once
I just don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
I just don't know what I want

I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe for just mine
So get your ass up cause you're in no hurry
like I am now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
or maybe for just tonight

And the next part is the hardest
To admit and explain but I've got to get it right
She said
"I'll chew you up and spit you out like all them.
I'm gonna put you right back in my mouth
You know that I will always love you

I said I tore your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives
Or maybe its just:
You've gotta get your ass up cause
you're in no hurry
Like I am now
Im getting older and older all of the time

Let's go one more time

I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married
And you're all mine now
I'm getting older and older all of the time
Or maybe it's just mine
Over tonight
Yeah yeah yeah
