Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deceptions Lyrics

Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deceptions Video

I heard about your trip

I heard about your souvenirs

I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights

And the cool guys that you spent them with

I guess I should have heard of them from you

I guess I should have heard of them from you

 

Well don't you see, don't you see

That the charade is over

And all the best deceptions and the

Clever cover story awards go to you

 

So kiss me hard

'Cause this will be the last time that I let you

You will be back someday

And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips

Will be of service to keeping you away

 

I heard about your regrets

I heard that you were feeling sorry

I heard from someone that you wish you could

Set things right between us

Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you

I guess I should have heard of that from you

 

Well don't you see, don't you see

That the charade is over

And all the best deceptions and the

Clever cover story awards go to you

 

So kiss me hard

'Cause this will be the last time that I let you

You will be back someday

And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips

Will be of service to keeping you away

To keeping you away

 

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers

I'll be alright when my hands get warm

Ignoring the phone--I'd rather say nothing

I'd rather you never heard my voice

You're calling too late, too late to be gracious

You do not warrant long goodbyes

You're calling too late

You're calling too late

You're calling too late

Dashboard Confessional - Several Ways To Die Trying Lyrics

Dashboard Confessional - Several Ways To Die Trying Video

Pacific sun

You should have warned us, it gets so cold here

And the night can freeze before you set a fire

And our flares go unnoticed, diminished

Faded just as soon as they are fired

 

We are, we are intrigued

We are, we are invisible

 

Oh, how we shouted, how we screamed

Take notice, take interest, take me with you

When all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight

 

They're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light

And blinding our hearts with their shining lies

We're closing our caskets, cold and tight

But I'm dying to live

 

Pacific sun

You should have warned us, these heights are dizzying

And the climb can kill you long before the fall

And our trails go unmarked and unmapped

And covered just as soon as they are crossed

 

We are, we are intriguing

We are, we are desirable

 

Oh, how we shouted, how we screamed

Take notice, take interest, take me with you

When all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight

 

They're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light

And blinding our hearts with their shining lies

We're closing our caskets, cold and tight

But I'm dying to live

 

Oh, how we shouted, how we screamed

Take notice, take interest, take me with you

When all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight

 

They're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light

And blinding our hearts with their shining lies

We're closing our caskets, cold and tight

But I'm dying to live

Dashboard Confessional - Bend And Not Break Lyrics

Dashboard Confessional - Bend And Not Break Video

I catalogue these steps now

Decisive and intentioned

Precise and patterned

Specifically to yours

 

I'm talented at breathing

Especially exhaling

So that my chest will

Rise and fall with yours

 

I'm careful not to wake you

Fearing conversation

It's better just to hold you

And keep you pacified

 

I'm talented with reason

I cover all the angles

I can fail before I ever try

 

Try to understand there's an old mistake

That fools will make and

I'm the king of them

Pushing everything that's good away so

 

Won't you hold me now?

(I will not bend, I will not break)

Won't you hold me now?

(I will not bend, I will not break)

 

I am fairly agile

I can bend and not break

Or I can break

And take it with a smile

 

And I am so resilient

I recover quickly

I'll convince you soon

That I am fine

 

Try to understand there's an old mistake

That fools will make and

I'm the king of them

Pushing everything that's good away so

 

Won't you hold me now?

(I will not bend, I will not break)

Won't you hold me now?

(For you I rise, for you I fall)

 

Just hold me close to you

Just hold me close to you

Just hold me close to you

(Won't you hold me now?)

Just hold me close to you

(Won't you hold me now?)

 

Try to understand there's an old mistake

That fools will make and

I'm the king of them

Pushing everything that's good away so

 

Won't you hold me now?

Won't you hold me now, now, now?

 

Now

Now

Now
