Yellowcard The Underdog (EP) Lyrics
1.Avondale

Lyricist:Ben Harper, Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Longineu Parsons

If you're gonna rip my heart out
Could you use a knife that's dull and rust in color
(Once I die)
There will be no way that you can cover that scar

It's hard, I know
And if I get a little blood on you
Finally the world will know you're guilty
(Know you're wrong)

Of taking everything
You've gotten from me
No heart, it's hard, I know

Mighty King of Avondale
I just can't let this go
Real life ain't no fairy tale
I just thought you should know

When you're finished with the surgery
I really hope that you will turn to me
And tell me all about the fun you had
When you were cutting up, you were cutting up

Mighty King of Avondale
I just can't let this go
Real life ain't no fairy tale
I just thought you should know

Living like a fairy tale the
Mighty King of Avondale
It all went to his head
This royalty

I stuck a knife into his back
Inventiveness is what I lack
He's always hanging up on loyalty

Mighty King of Avondale
I just can't let this go
Real life ain't no fairy tale
I just thought you should know
(You're wrong)
(You're wrong)


2.Underdog

Lyricist:Ben Harper, Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Longineu Parsons

One more trip down
To the lost and found
To find your heart
That the quarterback punk

Dropped on the ground
One more trip down
To the lost and found
To find your heart

Left out
The one they picked last
For the big ball game
Beat up after class

No doubt
Showed up one day
You were not the same
You won't be the last one anymore

One long walk down
Through the hallway now
You're finding out

That you don't fit in this time around
One long walk down
Through the hallway now
You feel left out

Left out
The one they picked last
For the big ball game
Beat up after class

No doubt
Showed up one day
You were not the same
You won't be the last one anymore

Left out
The one they picked last
For the big ball game
Beat up after class

No doubt
Showed up one day
You were not the same
You won't be the last one anymore
Woo

Left out
The one they picked last
For the big ball game
Beat up after class

No doubt
Showed up one day
You were not the same
You won't be the last one


3.Powder

Lyricist:Ben Harper, Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Pete Mosely, Longineu
Parsons

Lying soaked in sweat tonight
Your knuckles white, you try to fight
The need for more to get you by
You've had enough you wonder why
Even now your body cries

For chemicals to blind your eyes
Wonder can you stay this high
When the cells begin to die
Forever, forever, forever

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

Swallowed like the medicine
That's broken down my happy friend
Wonder if he'll let me in
If I come to see him when
He's better, he's better, he's better

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

There's power in the powder
Dissolving in your guts
There's power in the powder
Dissolving in your guts

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down


4.Rocket

Lyricist:Ben Harper, Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Longineu Parsons

Sleeping late on warm afternoon
Waking up to bright silver moon
Silent words from my heart to you
My empty filled filled up with you

I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

My empty filled, filled up with you
I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
(The two of us, we dream like one)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
(Our energy could light the sun)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
(The two of us take breath as one)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
(The two of us, the two of us)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
(The two of us, we dream like one)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
(Our energy could light the sun)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

(Rockets fly)
(The two of us take breath as one)
I slip another smile in your pocket
(Into my sky)
(The two of us, the two of us)
My heart is racing to you like a rocket


5.Finish Line

Lyricist:Ben Harper, Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Pete Mosely, Longineu
Parsons

Hello friend, it's been too long
And every town sings the same sad song

Hello friend, it's been too long
And every town sings the same sad song
Without you here this hotel year
Will sure slow down with so much left to hear

Let's jet back down that highway now
Blast stereos loud
Let's jet back down that highway now

The finish line is almost here
And someone softly whispers in my ear
Times like these are memories
To hold deep down inside of you and me

Let's jet back down that highway now
Blast stereos loud
Let's jet back down that highway now
Let's jet back down that highway now
Blast stereos loud
Let's jet back down that highway now

I'm not leaving you, I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving you
(Goodbye friend, it won't be long)
I'm not leaving
(And until then we'll sing the same sad song)

Sad song

Let's jet back down that highway now
Blast stereos loud
Let's jet back down that highway now
Let's jet back down that highway now
Blast stereos loud
Let's jet back down that highway now

Let's jet back down that highway now
Let's jet back down that highway now
