Paper Idol – Your Favorite Part

New girl in the city
You were pretty
And ready for a change
Alcohol and shopping malls
Till everyday began to feel the same

And I met you when love was on my mind
And money in my hand
I said my career was just a day job and that I played in a band

Du du du du du du du dum

When you called me baby
It was maybe
50,000 times
But I know those words came from your mouth they weren't born inside your mind

And when our love was severed I had never
Felt so very low
Boy meets girl meets happiness meets every single fear he's ever known

Du du du du du du du dum

You're in the middle of a bedroom
In a house on the boulevard
You're in the middle of a sex dream
Makin' love to a movie star
You're in the middle of a breakup
You're in the middle of a broken heart
But you never wanna wake up
You're just getting to your favorite part.

Paper Idol – Last I Remember

New house on the lake
It was just for us to take
One room with a view
Like a fantasy for two
I came from the woods
Like a roaming hunter should
And you came from the sky
With a placid in your eyes

And most of the time we'd kiss
'Till we cried
Somehow we'd live in this place 'till we died

Mend me in a dream
I'm a broken piece of love
And I need my pieces clean
And I'll lay there and wait
'Till it's done or 'till it's late

And half of the time we'd kiss
'Till we cried
Somehow we'd live in this place 'till we died

You lay in your bed
With an apple on your head
And I walked with a bow
And an arrow just for show

Go make it a game
Just don't keep me in the frame
Please, won't you explain?
But I had no other choice than to laugh away the pain

So I bent the bow with my fist
And I tried
I tried to aim but I missed
So I lied

So I broke my hand at the wrist
'Till I cried
Last I remember we kissed
'Till we died

Paper Idol – Skinny Black Dress

Over your thighs
Is a skinny black dress
I've seen what's beneath it
You like it the best
When I kiss what's inside you
But you never ask
Cause you're young and you're patient
And I'm out of breath
There's a fog that's between us
It's thick and it's tough
And it won't go away
until I break things off.

And I know that you're
Better than the way that you seem
When you're just around me
Why do I sound so cynical

Because all you left were shadows
On the floor
Now there's no one here to save me
Anymore

Open the curtains and dry off your tears
Look at the people
Do you think the years have
Gotten the best of us
Eaten us whole
I wish it would spit us right out
At a candlelit dinner
With you and your folks
And you say that I tell the most awful jokes

And you know that I'm better than the way that I seem
When it's just me and you
Why do we sound so cynical

Because nobody was ever keeping score
Now no ones here to save me anymore

So come back to see me
When you're feeling fine
I'll give you your shirts
And we'll open this bottle of wine
But it won't be enough
To get us both drunk
Now we're talking in circles
And filling the squares
Next to yes and no question
But who really cares

And I know that you're better than the way that you seem
When you're just around me
Why do you sound so cynical?

Because nobody was ever keeping score
Now no ones here to save me anymore

Paper Idol – One Way Mirror

Sometimes I laugh
When you're not looking
Oh, you told me to stay so far away
And I just see glass, not my reflection
But I heard you say you see
Right through it just like me

I can't see why
This ever happened
Oh there's no point now in tearing it down
You sit and wait for my confession
But I know a guilty plea
Will never set me free

My hands are tied
Do me a favor
Oh take my heart and pour out the sand
Living alone has taught me a lesson
That your love is what I need
If I want my heart to bleed

Call it a chair,
Call it a hammer
Oh I'd break my hands to tear it right down
Walk through the frame, show my affection
And I pray you still believe
In love that used to be

Paper Idol – Other People

You said it couldn't be magic
Well I've running though our conversations I don't see tragic
A bed-sheet ghost with no one in between

And I put my heart on the table
You took it said stay with me a while because I'm not stable enough
Your shoulder's really all I need

Surviving would be the right thing if I could like things
I got the feeling it'll never get better
And I don't do sad moods so well
And I'll sing as soon as I think I can describe things
I'll wait a minute till it all tastes better
Cause I don't take bad news so well

If it was only you,
And only me,
Well that would be a different story,
But you had to bring other people into it

Kill me, I'm just a fanatic
Because you know I Feel it like its lightning when it's just static
My skin is just a bit too thin for this kind of thing
And one at a time is what you said
But you shot every single one down instead
And my last breath was wasted on asking you why again

Surviving would be the right thing but you surprised me
You know the feeling when you're falling forever
And I don't do sad moods so well
And I'll sing as soon as I think I can describe things
I'll wait a minute till it all tastes better
Cause I don't take bad news so well

If it was only you,
And only me,
Well that would be a different story,
But you had to bring other people into it

If it was only you, and only me
If it was only you, and only me
If it was only you, and only me
If it was only you, and only me
(If it was only you, and only me, well I wouldn't mind, that's what I wanted to see, if it was only you, and only me, and only you, but then I couldn't believe, that you would tell me a lie, and then I wanted to leave, I wanted to cry, and then I wanted to die, and then I wanted to sing, and so I give you this song, its better than me, and I've been waiting so long, I've been waiting so long)

Paper Idol – The Carousel

Lord forgive me
I left that bottle empty
It fits right in beside the other ones
It's the last one, I can promise that
I swear I'll find a game that's just as fun

Lord forgive me
If heaven only sent me
A stronger mind, I'd make it out alive
I'm a master of the carousel
But every couple rounds I'm left behind

And I don't know if I can go back
To the hidden smile in that photograph
That my mother took I swear she looked at me and said
I I I I just pray you stay
I I I I just pray you stay just like this

Lord forgive me
For making her a memory
But asking her to dance inside my dreams
She's the last one, I can promise that
I swear I'll let her go like we agreed

Lord forgive me
I never saw you in me
And even now, my voice dies in the walls
Well it's hard to keep a vow
When I'm aware that you're not listening at all

And I don't know if I can go back
To the pretty girl in that photograph
That I took myself when she looked at me and said
I I I I just pray you stay
I I I I just pray you stay
I I I I just pray you stay just like this

And I've been working on the perfect silhouette
Can you see me in the shaken northern lights?
And I've been searching for that half-red cigarette
But I wont make a sound
When I see you around

I couldn't wait for you any longer
Too many ventricle scars under my belt
I couldn't make my grip any stronger
Looks like the ground isn't far, I don't need help

I couldn't sleep in light of the thunder
Too many parachute songs stuck in my head
Leaving the vest cause I'm goin' under
Looks like the ground isn't far, that's what you said

I'll be your gramophone
Kiss me like a dialtone
Bring me to my knees
Like there's no other sound in this world

Be my lidocaine
Make me feel nothing again
I'm just trying to make
Enough love to survive till tomorrow

And we both hit the ground with no time in between
A feather to my bowling ball
In a room that's hard to breathe

But I'm still
trying to save
Myself from drowning in my own blood
But you said that you could
Fill my lungs
With savory brand new air
At least someone cares

And how am I supposed to tell
Heaven's up and down is hell
Where I'm going next
Tell me even if it hurts

Cause my heart's gonna fail
Ripped out put right on a scale
There's no point in waiting to see which plate hits first

Cause they'll both hit the ground
With no time in between
A feather to my bowling ball
In a room that's hard to breathe

And I'm still
trying to save
Myself from drowning in my own blood
But you said that you could
Fill my lungs
With savory brand new air
At least someone cares

I've the tunnel of light, and I'm telling you
It's not as fun as the cartoons said it would be
My eyes burned out of my head
They should think about turning down that light that you see
And I'm willing to change, but I'm waiting on someone else
To tell me who I should be
I bought the uniforms
They've all been worn before

Paper Idol – Snare Drum

We melt in the desert heat
And no matter where we put our feet
Feel my body cry
Every step
Is a land mine
I pray for rain to fall
But when nobody hears my call
We set off the guns
Into the sky
Rain for everyone

And even when we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on, to the sound, to the sound of the snare drum

Drag my love like a string of cans
No rattle when you drag in sand
Fillin to the brim
All my love
Is abandoned
Why don't you send me home
Im down to skin and bone
And I need some rest
This camouflage
Is a Devil's dress

And even when we can't see the place we started from
We keep on marching on, to the sound, to the sound of the snare drum

What I would do to be a baby once again
What I would give to make my enemies my friends
And even though I can't stand the thing that I've become
I keep on marching on
I keep on marching on
I keep on marching on
Well I keep on

Soaking in fluorescent light
Skin to match that perfect white
Are you with me darling
Are you with me child

And all the while my voice refrains
From screaming out, for now I shall remain
Are you with me darling
Are you with me now?

And I don't know what I came here for
I don't know if it's meant to be the last time
You say you need somebody
You you need somebody
You don't say me

Bleeding out from purple veins
The love I need for sweeter things
Are you with me darling
Are you with me now?

And the while my eyes refrain
From tearing up
For now I shall remain
Are you with me darling
Are you with me now?

I just wanna be the kind of guy, who's easy to love, don't we
All just wanna live the kind of life, that never runs out
The sand flows up, take another round
A repetition, it's alright, you're feeling it now

And I don't know what I came here for
I don't know if it's meant to be the last time
You say you need somebody
You you need somebody
You don't say me

You're not the same a the girl I swear I knew before
I took a photograph
Kept it in my pocket so that I could show you now
That you've changed in your devout
Ness to me and that's OK
I hate every single day now

I don't mind wandering
Make pretending I'm not lost
Trapped in my body now
Find the key so I can finally break out of my bones
Tell your friends that I just don't
Understand them and I never will
I might be on my own yeah

Now I've been mild and I need you to replace my energy
And won't you help me find home again

I feel my fireplace
Burning on my newborn skin
Dumb pacifier case
Tears when momma threw me
In another woman's arms
And I set off my alarms
Then I felt that good old rock a bye
Baby not in harm, no

And I don't mind wandering
But I pay the psychic cost
Trapped in my body now
Finally see that I can never break out of my bones
We will always be alone
Understand this and you never will
Step down from that throne now

Now I'm a child and I need you to replace the memory
And won't you help me find home again

Seventeen
So obscene
I was so monotone and
You were in the backseat crying
Telling me it's not enough

Dopamine
Coming clean
We still had telephones and
I was in the front seat lying
Telling you I didn't even need your love

I want a swig of that
Bottle with the elastic tip
Feet on the welcome mat
I don't like surprises
But I hope I walk inside
And I see my family cry
out my name like it was yesterday
And I'd scream hey I've finally found home again

Paper Idol – Run Away From Love

Late night on the phone
And you call yourself alone
And you say there's no denying
That you'd rather be at home

Crying in a dream
And all the places in between
Well this ain't much of an apology but it's a promise I can keep

Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da

But everything looks different from above
You should have told me when you had enough
If I could do it all again
I'd take it to the time
When we both were still together
And I'd never have to run away from love

I wrote down a list
Of all the things that I had missed
And I asked myself how can I go on living after this
I see you in my dreams
And all the places in between
Well this ain't much of an apology I'm sorry

But everything looks different from above
You should have told me when you had enough
If I could do it all again
I'd take it to the time
When we both were still together
And I'd never have to run away from love

And you are the one who will never be the same
And I am the one who brought about that change
And you are the one who will never be the same
And I am the one who brought about that change
And you are the one who will never be the same
And I am the one who brought about that change
And you are the one who will never be the same
And I am the one who brought about that change

But everything looks different from above
You should have told me when you had enough
If I could do it all again
I'd take it to the time
When we both were still together
And I'd never have to run away from love

Why did you leave me on the floor
I don't even know what I think of her yet
If it's your wish to go,
Got to let me know
Let me know when you're coming back

How did you lead me to myself?
Things I knew but I hadn't felt yet
If it's your time to go
Please just let me know
Let me know when you're coming back

Paper idol
That the people need to please
Just to know that they're alive
That's what I was supposed to
Break the wishbone when you
leave me on my knees
Even god makes that mistake
And every kiss I gave her was just a bit too hard to take
And paper fades away

Why did you leave me on the floor
I don't even know what I think of her yet
If it's your wish to go,
Got to let me know
Let me know when you're coming back
Let me know if you're coming back
Just say to me that you're coming back
