You Had Me At "Hell No!" - Last Avenue

I’ll scream it off a mountain top,
But I’m not ready for it.
My life is such a mess,
But I’m not ready to, ready to admit it.
And all these sleepless nights, and all of these quiet fights
Were a big enough hit for me.
Will Jesus Christ just help me out again?
And I get so sick but the headache never ends,
Because after each chapter another one just starts again.

My head just hit the dashboard,
And the water is slowly rising all around me.
And the seascape filled my ashtray.
But the moon has never shone any brighter,
And you won’t ever know.

I owe thee lake an apology,
But talking underwater is just a little too hard for me.
Now I’m doing down with this car tonight.

My head just hit the dashboard,
And the water is slowly rising all around me.
And the seascape filled my ashtray.
But the moon has never shone any brighter,
And you won’t ever know.
You won’t ever know.
No, you don’t even know.

Because my head just hit the dashboard,
And the water is slowly rising all around me.
And the seascape filled my ashtray.
But the moon has never shone any brighter.
Then my head just hit the dashboard,
And the water is slowly rising all around me.
And the seascape filled my ashtray.
But the moon has never shone any brighter,
And you won’t ever know.
You won’t ever know.
No, you don’t even know what this car crash means to me.


Echo - Last Avenue

We’re gonna need a shop vac to pick up the pieces.
Oh, heart attack, it tears me to pieces.
These knees will break for you for a lifetime.
So here it goes again,
when I’m screamin' out I’m screamin' out for you.
And it’s so nice to finally be home.
You’re so fierce the way that you break for everyone.
It’s so nice to finally be home.

Go go, and you’re spinning me faster.
Woah woah, I don’t want a disaster.
Speak up speak up and I’ll speak for you forever.
Just do it do it, you can’t stay bottled up.
Just maybe maybe we won’t run out of luck.
And I promise you I’ll stay with you.

And when my back is up against a wall
I can’t see you, I can’t hear you.
With my head in the clouds and your feet on the ground,
it is not a good match.
Head in the clouds and your feet on the ground,
it’s not good.

Go go, and you’re spinning me faster.
Woah woah, I don’t want a disaster.
Speak up speak up and I’ll speak for you forever.
Just do it do it, you can’t stay bottled up.
Just maybe maybe we won’t run out of luck.
And I promise you I’ll stay with you.

Throw your hands up and
let’s all just make a statement.
‘Cause I don’t know anything about you,
But I see every single part of you.

Go go, can you spin any faster.
Woah woah, I don’t want a disaster.
Speak up speak up and I’ll speak for you forever.
Just do it do it, you can’t stay bottled up.
Just maybe maybe we won’t run out of luck.
And I promise you I’ll stay with you.
Stay with you.


The Safety Word Is Oklahoma - Last Avenue

It's starting now woah,
And it’s starting now, woah,
‘Cause it’s over now, woah,
‘Cause it’s over now, woah.

The room’s been spinnin' in these past months.
Now I’ve sobered up and I’ve made it out.
And now this name-brand shit won’t help
me forget what I did to both of you.

And I’ve seen you, and I know you,
and you get all the attention for it.
I’ve see you and I know it yeah-ee-you
get all the attention for it.
Take your voice off the shelf and
I’ll sing to you what you wanna hear.
‘Cause when we’re twisting and turning,
you know we’re better off,
we’re not better off from here.

My job is waking up and I
haven’t listened to side B enough and
woah and my heart sings. Woah and my hear sings.
Keep the noise down, because it’s over.
Pick up your phone now, and call me sober.
I never will see you again.

And I’ve seen you, and I know you,
and you get all the attention for it.
I’ve see you and I know it yeah-ee-you,
you get all the attention for it.
Take your voice off the shelf and I’ll
sing to you what you wanna hear.
‘Cause when we’re twisting and turning,
you know we’re better off, we’re not better off from here.

If you don’t know the words I’m saying.
And I’m not in the game you’re playing.
But the sun will still rise
when the moon goes to sleep tonight.
And my heart is in Chicago,
and you were south of the border.
And it makes me sweat when I know you’re gone.
Then how it starts will take you over.
And how it ends won’t even matter.
But my arms are sore- can’t hold on anymore.

Thanks for the times, but now it’s time for goodbyes.
Thanks for the times, but now it’s time for goodbyes.


Since You Asked - Last Avenue

Take this back, back- back down now,
Slow the summer ‘til we all fall.
Fall like the leaves on these pathetic city trees.
Because October’s here, and our chance is near.
Don’t let it slip, slip, slip away.
Just like the words that roll off our tongues
And join our clothes on the ground.
Our freedom’s just been found and,
And even gravity can’t stop us now, and so

Give my regards to the kids with backyards
‘Cause I’m livin’ in the city tonight and
We are city lovin’ the way we know how.
And so, call the cops-
I’ve got an emergency and
Tell the officer that, there’s been a burglary.
She’s stolen my heart, and she threw away the key.

You and I, we cause a big bang
And the stars won’t ever be the same.
And we move so fast going in slow motion.
We can’t fight this overcast night
‘Cause it pulls us back in every time.
And we can’t stop now, we can’t hold back,
The honesty between my sheets at night.
So hold me down and hold me back.

Call the cops-
I’ve got an emergency and
Tell the officer that, there’s been a burglary.
She’s stolen my heart, and she threw away the key.

But she means everything to me,
And I’m not waking from this dream, this dream.
(This is serious)
