Current mood:  accomplished
Ok, by popular demand, here are the lyrics to our EP "Call Off The Roses"
(you know this means everyone has to sing along at our shows now! :)

*Call Off The Roses
 
you're something else she says
don't fade into the background
and oh, I'll never be the same

its too late for sorry and im sorry
but im just having a hard time
believing a word that you say
is it really that hard
to say what you're thinking
is it really that hard
to say what's on your mind

call off the party
call off the show
call off the roses
she doesn't need to know what I've got planned

and he said, you're the last one
and he said, you're our only hope
and your eyes rely on the tides
and they're ever-changing, they're ever-changing
and he said, you're our only hope

and I can't wait till everyone sees us
we'll make them all so proud to say
they knew us then
and I can't wait till everyone sees us
we'll make them all so proud
you'll make them all so proud

**Full of Life

can you stay a while longer
can you stand there while I stare
I just have to look at something
beautiful, of life in this room of death
beautiful of life in this room of death

don't close your eyes (im sure you can)
I won't think twice (I know I can)
she said don't go back its not my time
and I'll wait..

All I have is turning my back on you
all I have is turning my back on you now
(I am turning my back on you)

I'll wait for you

***Looking For You

somehow someway we've got to get out of here she says
her eyes aglow in the brightest shades tonight
from just across the room I see you
and you're staring back at me
you motion to the door and I make my way over

hey what are you looking for? She says
I think that I'm looking for you

today's the day im gonna get out of here she says
I've got to know can you come with me tonight
from just the across the room I see you
and you're staring back at me
you motion to the door and I make my way over

she stands in the aisle way and I never could stand up for much
but the moment that I saw her face I couldn't believe I ever thought of giving up
and with one look we were on our way
we're on our way to wherever it is we'll go
and with one look we were on our way
we're on our way

****Shoulders

and I somehow knew you were there
and you were, there you were
barely brushing shoulders
and your eyes showed
nothing of confidence
nothing of confidence

and then you'll say that you'll stay
its not what I wanted
and not what I needed

your fashion sense has won me over
I'll get to that city if it's the last thing that I do

and then you'll say that you'll stay
its not what I wanted
and not what I needed
its amazing how your eyes sing everything

its already over and I wouldn't let it
its already over and I can't admit it

if I could just get up the nerve to tell you
everything I want to how you're everything
I want to call my own
if I could

*****Holy Smokes

something caught me out of the corner of my eye
I didn't notice she was frozen with her cell phone
by her side like she hadn't seen me here a thousand times
are you ok?

I'll hold you tightly as we walk downtown my angel
and I'll tell you how I dreamt of you all summer
and the lights will guide us on our way

just as nervous as the first time I walked you away
when I tried and tried but I couldn't find the words
it's the way your hair falls in your eyes
it's the way that you pretend you don't realize
I've been waiting for something
as amazing as you are
I've been waiting for something
as amazing as you

wait right here you know I'll be home soon
wait right here trust me I'll be back for you
just try to understand if I don't do this now I'll never know

******Before They See Us

You stole the air right out of my lungs
but keep it for yourself cause you're gonna need it
for all the times I'll take your breath away
and I, I can't wait to see the look on your face
when I, I say exactly what I came to

just the shame that I've always wanted

so stop me now before they see us
even if its too hard to take all at once
and I try and I try to never interrupt what you've got going
and I try and I try to stay out of your way, stay out of your way

you took the words right out of my mouth
your best work yet thus far
and how can you stand there and tell me
that im so dramatic you're so dramatic
and I, and I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces
when they finally find you out

just the shame that I've always wanted
just the shame that I've always...

It means more now than I ever thought it would mean
I won't always think of you

*******Outro

and I thought this time was different
and I thought you'd come around
when you said you finally figured out what you had been missing
but call off the roses

I'm getting out of here
don't even try to stop me
