Back Of A Truck Lyrics - Regina Spektor

Back Of A Truck Lyrics - Regina Spektor
She lifted the monument in her monumental arms
She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
Back for more, back for more
Oh she was back for more, some more, yes please, some more

Her gym teacher thought himself a sweat-socked demi-god
And her geraniums thought themselves an alien pod
And her front porch gave way beneath the classified weight
And when an ambulance came they said it's much too late
Oh it's much too late, oh it's much too, much too late
Oh it's much too late, how late? Very late, too late.

Now the people of New Guinea and the people of L.A.
Have been penpals for years cause they both hate ballet
Only the pandas and bears have made a clean get away
But the news bulletin claims it is gonna be okay
Now Miss Lucy had a sweat shop where the immigrants work
Problem was they all turned to pumpkins at the 12 o'clock stroke
Promptly confiscated by police precinct number X
That was when alien geraniums entered into a fight
No violence, of course, no violence, no violence, of course
Hey no violence, of course, of course, why yes, of course
I mean, I mean, of course, why yes, of...of course

Here the story gets hazy and the hair gets too long
And the T.V. gets quiet as I hear a real bad song
The mothers get whiskey and the girlfriends get tongue
And there's a back of a truck selling smoke free lungs
And there's a back of a truck selling alien pods
And there's a back of a truck selling game show hosts
And there's a back of a truck selling the souls of the dead
And there's a back of a truck selling crumb free bread
This is New York!
Now there's a back of a truck selling the back of a car
And there's a back of a car selling road way maps
And there are road way maps selling a back of a head
Hey how much for that back of a head, man?
Hey wait a minute, hey wait a minute
Wait a minute that's...wait a minute that's my back of a head
Hey you can't sell that, man, that's my back of a head
Hey, hey sell it back to me, man, sell it back to me
Hey it's, it's my m-m-m-m-m-m-mine

She lifted the monument in her monumental arms
She was the Mother Superior with her carry-on luggage charms
She was this androgynous powder nosed girl next door
She had eaten her dog and she was back for more
She had eaten her dog, D-O-W-G
She had eaten a dog, d-d-dog, d-d-dog, dog, dog, dog
She had eaten a...eaten a...eaten...eaten her...ooooh
Mmmmmm...mmmm...mmm
Ohhhh...ohhh....ohhhh
Ooooh....ooooooh...ooooh
Some more, yes please, some more
Some more, yes please, some more

Whoa Lyrics - Paramore

Whoa Lyrics - Paramore
I've hoped for change,
and it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change,
but still I feel the same

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

We're doing fine
And it gets better everytime
We're doing fine
But I'll let you decide

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

And we've got everybody singing
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish, I can, I can
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
I don't want to start over again

Where The Lines Overlap Lyrics - Paramore

Where The Lines Overlap Lyrics - Paramore
Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out, out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, no no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
And never making a single sound
I'm not used to it
But I can learn
There's nothing to it
I've never been happier
Never been happier

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me

I've got a feeling (I've got a feeling)
That you would sing it back to me
You would sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end
But oh, we already won, oh no
No one (no one) is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

When It Rains Lyrics - Paramore

When It Rains Lyrics - Paramore
And when it rains
On this side of town it touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing

You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore

And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

And when it rains
Will you always find an escape?
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything

You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And you'll sleep 'til May and you'll say
That you don't want to see the sun anymore

And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need the ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

Take your time
Take my time

Take these chances to turn it around
(Take your time)
Just take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
(Take my)
Just turn it around

And oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming

Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh I need an ending
So why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

You can take your time
Take my time

We Are Broken Lyrics - Paramore

We Are Broken Lyrics - Paramore
I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I'll take the truth at any cost

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Until Tomorrow Lyrics - Paramore

Until Tomorrow Lyrics - Paramore
I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I will

Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way

I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Reaching for your hands
But I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood
If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love and I
....I Will

Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause theres no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe theres another way
[X2]

I Climb, I Slip, I Fall
Into Your Empty hands
but I Lay Here All alone
Sweating all your blood

Turn It Off Lyrics - Paramore

Turn It Off Lyrics - Paramore
I scraped my knees while I was praying and
found a demon in my safest haven,
seems like it getting harder to believe in anything
and just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts.

I wanna know what it'd be like,
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light,
Well turn it off in all my spite,
In all my spite, I'll turn it off

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
we're headed for a cliff
and in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom

The tragedy it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to
break and bending
We're taking short cuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain
the wheels are crankin, turnin,
torn on the way we're workin
towards the goal it's not existant,
it's not existant,but we just keep believing

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
we're headed for a cliff
and in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'd be like,
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light,
Well turn it off in all my spite,
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
Just turn it off...AGAIN!..again..again...

And the worst part is, before it gets any better
we're headed for a cliff
and in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom
And the worst part is, before it gets any better
we're headed for a cliff
and in the free fall i will realize
I'm better off when i hit the bottom

Throwing Punches Lyrics - Paramore

Throwing Punches Lyrics - Paramore
There's an empty room at the end of the hall, and it's begging to swallow you whole Each step you take makes it easier to fall on your face, and each tear you fake makes it easier to see right throgh you now
And you're so hateful sometimes throwing punches at lies fall from somewhere above just to say you're in love
so you hang yourself from stolen dreams and under the table you hide each stain each step you take(get -ting closer now) make it eaier to fall on your face
Each death you fake (getting closer now) makes it easier to love this way now
And you're so hateful sometimes throwing punches at lies fall from somewhere above just to say you're in love Watch it disappear the deam you hold so dear (let it fade now)(3x)
And you so hateful sometimes throwing punches at lies fall from somewhere above (just to say your in love) (2x)

This Circle Lyrics - Paramore

This Circle Lyrics - Paramore
Take this time,
To realize, that you always said you was
In the midst of trial,
And everything is always right.

[And I think that it's time]
This battle must be won
[But you push it aside]
pushed it aside pretend that it's gone.

[Chorus]
This circle never ends,
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends,
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over


Take this time
To realize, that you always force a smile
In the midst of trial.
And everything is always right.

[And I think that it's time]
This battle must be won
[But you pushed it aside]
pushed it aside pretend that it's gone!


[Chorus]
This circle never ends
And it's time you,
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you,
Just face it,don't pretend,
that it's over.


And it never ends,
It never ends.
And it never ends
[it never ends]
No, it never ends!

[Chorus]
This circle never ends
And it's time you,
Just face it don't pretend
That it's over.
This circle never ends
And it's time you,
Just face it, don't pretend
That is over.
It's over.

The Only Exception Lyrics - Paramore

The Only Exception Lyrics - Paramore
When I was younger i saw, my daddy cry and curse at the wind. he broke his own heart and i watched as he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing o f love if it does not exist.

But darling you are the only exception,
you are the only exception,
you are the only exception,
you are the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone but keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this,keeping a comfortable distance and up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness.
Cause none of it was worth the risk.

Well you are the only exception,
you are the only exception,
you are the only exception,
you are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality,but I can't let go of whats in front of me here.
I know your leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
Whoa,oh,oh

You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception,
You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing,

Oh and I'm on my way to believing

Thats What You Get Lyrics - Paramore

Thats What You Get Lyrics - Paramore
No sir, well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore
It's your turn, so take a seat
We're settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide, you have made it harder
Just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well, I was wrong

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel
When you're not here?
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here

I still try holding onto silly things
I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I'm sure you've heard

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense
With the sound of its beating
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I'll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can't trust myself
With anything but this
And that's what you get
When you let your heart win, whoa

Temporary Lyrics - Paramore

Temporary Lyrics - Paramore
I used to be so quick, so clever
I used to know myself much better
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, it never hurts to try

and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over

now I'm a walking contradiction
so tell me what's wrong with this picture?
cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
temporary, so don't hurt me this time

and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over

so give it up, just give up
give it up, give up
give it up, just give up
give it up, give up

and it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
but repitition ends in failure
and everytime, I see it in your eyes
when repitition ends, we'll start over

we'll start over

Teenagers Lyrics - Paramore

Teenagers Lyrics - Paramore
I'm gonna go on
Living like I never met you
And it will wrong at first
But I think I can forget you
Ignore the fact that we sleep no more then 3 feet apart
I feel you now your all around me, underneath me
You're all around me, underneath me

Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary
Well how was I to know
That my first crack in luck
Would not be the last
Wont be the last

It's in the air now
Bitter tears and broken hearts
Teenagers we count the years, we think were smart
But were not, we don't know anything

So don't ask me where ill go
Cause frankly I don't know
And I don't give a shit

Why must we all make sense
Oh I just wont make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
I'm just gonna live

Teenagers (we don't know anything)
Teenagers (we don't know anything) oh
Well how was I to know
That what we carved in stone
Would be so temporary(i'm gonna go on)
Why must we all make sense
Oh I just won't make sense
For once I'm just gonna live
I'm just gonna live

Swim In Silence Lyrics - Paramore

Swim In Silence Lyrics - Paramore
Meet me here beneath the burning skies
Where the ocean comes and takes us from all of our lies
You never said that you were coming back
I have waited although I have found the place you hide
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care
I imagine what it must be like
To have everything you need and not be satisfied
Run the water until it burns
And you cant see through the waves that crash into your prey
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
Going under
Getting close to what we cannot recognize
Floating face down in the lies
Here we are without a trace
But the lies we used to blame
and you're so far away
What keeps you so far away?
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you leave
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care

Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics - Paramore

Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics - Paramore
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Tonight, we can be as one tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet
And bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die, yeah

I wipe the tears from your eyes
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your bloodshot eyes
(Tonight, tonight)

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(The real battle just begun)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(To claim the victory Jesus won on...)

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Stuck On You Lyrics - Paramore

Stuck On You Lyrics - Paramore
I heard you driving in my car
Than at a frozen bar
And I claimed I didn't care for you
But you first got trapped inside my head
Over, and over again
You played yourself to death in me.

I'd thought I'd drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a Summer Tic
So you invade my sleep
And confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch

[Chorus]
Stuck on you, 'til the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, 'til the end of time
You've got me paralyzed.


Holding on the telephone
I hear your mid-range moan
You're everywhere inside my room
Even when I'm alone
I hear your, mellow drum
You're everywhere inside of me

[Chorus]
Stuck on you, 'til the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you, 'til the end of time
You've got trapped, I can't escape

Your incessant whine
When you beam it out all across the sky
No I can't escape
(stuck on you 'till the end of time)
your insipid rhyme
(I'm too tired to fight your rhyme)
When you shoot it deep
(stuck on you 'till the end of time)
Straight into my mind

Stay Away Lyrics - Paramore

Stay Away Lyrics - Paramore
Your lies are bleeding through your teeth,
And your eyes are the only ones filling me,
Your promises never really meant a thing,
But they flew from your lips, so easily,

Stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away
stay stay stay, stay away from me
stay stay stay stay away, away

It's not best for your heart,
The glass that rips your word apart,
Is this the guilt that keeps you up at night while your in bed?
When you can sleep sound honey I'll return to attack,

oh stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
( stay stay stay, stay away from me )
stay stay stay stay away
(away)

I never was too good with goodbyes,
You made it easy when you couldn't preside it,
With all the evil that you provided,
You still put the good in goodbye,
And goodbye ( and goodbye )

Stay away, stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay stay away from me,
stay stay stay stay away from me
stay stay stay stay, stay away from me.

Rewind Lyrics - Paramore

Rewind Lyrics - Paramore
Don't come looking for me
'Cause I'll be right here with the words you said
Looking for the words to say,
You know what you did, you know
And how can anybody,
Forget the promise that you made
'Cause this is how the promise breaks
I always knew that you'd fall through,
And now, you're proof.

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless.
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.

Now you're running from me
So cool, so scared of what you might've said
No one has ever looked away,
'Cause we know what you did, we know.
If I told anybody, then we would soon forget your name
You would never have a place,
I always knew you'd fall through
And now, your proof

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick, make it painless
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.

Please don't say to much, oh
I think we've heard enough,
From you, oh

[Chorus]
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
I knew it would not last.
Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming,
Make it quick, make it painless!
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.
Don't tell me lies,
Just say goodbye.

Pressure Lyrics - Paramore

Pressure Lyrics - Paramore
Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep feeling empty again
Cause I fear I might break and I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty

I can feel the pressure it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure it's getting closer now
We're better off without you

Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home

Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

I can feel the pressure it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure it's getting closer now
We're better off without you

Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

I can feel the pressure it's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Feel the pressure it's getting closer now
You're better off without me.

Playing God Lyrics - Paramore

Playing God Lyrics - Paramore
Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I been changing
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

If God's the game you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy

It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

This is the last second chance
I'll point you to the mirror
I'm half as good as it gets
I'll point you to the mirror
I'm on both sides of the fence
I'll point you to the mirror
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it

I know you don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

I know you don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
