Dashboard Confessional
1. Are you male or female?
Hey girl, you've got a short fuse
2. Describe Yourself.
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell
Such a charming, beautiful exterior
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by
you're never happy with what you've got
Though the sparkle is gone, the smile is in place so that everyone watching can see
As soon as you got it you want something else
She had a history of killing herself
You're not so happy.
You're not secure.
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you're plastic just like everyone.
You're just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed
impressing most of us as permanent
A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises
And I don't believe that I'm getting any better.
Any better.
Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring
And I'm thinking awful things
Wandering this house like I've never wanted out
And this is about as social as I get now.
And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you
Cause they would never do, I would never do.
Never
I'll die in here just to be safe.
Well you'd like to think that you were invincible.
Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt loss for the first time?
3. How do others feel about you?
Do you know that you've run in this ground.
Well this is one time, well this is one time
That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone
Or anyone at all...or anyone at all
I hope that you're happy, you really deserve it
But don't be a liar
Don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken.
Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look now, there you go with hope again
Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end
But, you’re chasin’ the ghost of a good thing
Haunting yourself as the real thing
It’s getting away from you again
While you’re chasin’ ghosts
It's hard to believe that I would let myself
get so wrapped into you.
There's got to be something that would
be worthwhile for me to give to you.
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you.
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.
What you've found sure upsets you
Never saw it coming did you?
Its easy to be suprised with both your eyes sewn closed
Hey girl, you've got a smart way
About you that makes me wish that I was smart enough for you.
Hey girl, you've got a fine laugh
And I think that I can get used to that
And you're already used to laughing at me
4. Describe your current crush:
But your taste still lingers on my lips like I just placed them upon yours
and I starve for you.
but i've hidden a note,
it's pressed between pages that you've marked to find your way back.
It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"
5. What would you rather be doing?
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere with anyone
Making out.
6. Describe where you live:
Pacific Sun, you should have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And the night can freeze, before you set it on fire.
7. Describe how you love:
Just bend the pieces ‘till they fit
Like they were made for it
But, they weren’t meant for this
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.
i'll be true, i'll be useful...
i'll be cavalier...i'll be yours my dear.
and i'll belong to you...
if you'll just let me through.
this is easy as lovers go,
so don't complicate it by hesitating.
and this is wonderful as loving goes,
this is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?
8. Share a few words of wisdom:
“Love is like a role that we play.”
And go on, go on, your cruel intentions won't solve your problems, everyone's gotta get bottom bottomed out in the long run and those are
the times you need love
Back and Forth
