Taking Back Sunday

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Adam Lazzara]
Passed out in our school clothes
So we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion
I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, Both]
Well, cross my heart and hope to…
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, so reckless, so
So thoughtless, so thoughtless, oh
So careless, but I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to…
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, I’ll keep you here
So heartless
But I could care less

[Verse 2: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
So paint your face up something elegant
And this town maybe a darker shade of red
‘Cause a long night means a fist fight
Against your pillow and my pearly whites
I want to hear you scream
You like me better on my knees
We don't believe in
So let us pray
Second chances
So let us pray
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Don't you ask me
Well, don't you move anywhere

[Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, Both]
Cross my heart and hope to…
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, so reckless, so
So thoughtless, so thoughtless, oh
So careless, but I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to…
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless, I’ll keep you here
So heartless
But I could care less

[Post-Chorus: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino]
Well, cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
I'll keep you here
I'll keep you here

[Bridge: Adam Lazzara, Fred Mascherino, Both]
What I ever did, before they’re takin’ it all
Well, cross my heart and hope to
Pretend it was ever modest that you’d wanted in on
I'm lying just to keep you here
And “never” always sounded better when she said it
This all— all not hope and knowin’
This glass house is burning down (All this hope, not knowin’)
You light the match, I'll stick around (All this hope, not knowin’)
I'll give you everything you want (All this hope, not knowin’)
And wish the worst on what I was (All this hope, not knowin’)
This glass house is burning down (All this hope, not knowin’)
Tonight won't make a difference
You light the match, I'll stick around (All this hope, not knowin’)
Tonight won't make a difference
I'll give you everything you want (All this hope, not knowin’)
Tonight won't make a difference
And wish the worst on what I was (All this hope, not knowin’)
Tonight won't make a difference
[Outro: Adam Lazzara and Fred Mascherino]
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well, tonight won't make a difference
Well, tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well, tonight won't make a differenceEmbed
