American Hi-Fi American Hi-Fi Lyrics
1.Surround

I need a better way to get my head straight
It's not like anybody would know
Gotta silver cloud high above me
Running circles around and round me

Chorus:
Turn it up again we're going nowhere
Let the sound surround everyone
I play the static with the noise in my head
Let the sound surround everyone

Go out the deep end
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing better to do
I'm so happy so fucken happy now
That i'm far from the glare of the city

Repeat chorus

Better way, better way, better way
I need a better way

I heard the white noise
With waves in radiation
They're falling from the sky

Repeat chorus

Turn it up again we're going nowhere
I play the static with the noise in my head
And let the sound surround
Turn it up again
Let the sound surround uhhh...


2.Flavor Of The Weak

she paints her nails and she don't know
He's got her best friend on the phone
She'll wash her hair
His dirty clothes are all he gives to her
And he's got posters on the wall
Of all the girls he wished she was
And he means everything to her

Chorus:
Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the weak

It's friday night and she's all alone
He's a million miles away
She's dressed to kill
But the tv's on
He's connected to the sound
And he's got pictures on the wall
Of all the girls he's loved before
And she knows all his favorite songs

Repeat chorus

Yeah

Her boyfriend, he don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned, he's too stoned
He's too stoned, he's too stoned

Repeat chorus

Yeah she's the flavor of the weak
But she makes me weak


3.A Bigger Mood

I need a bigger mood
To block out the sun
I don't wanna see what i've become
And you could fight your way
Give back what you really want
It's nothing special anyway

Chorus:
Yeah you're always in my way
I'm falling faster everyday
Yeah you're always in my way
I gotta spit you out
You bring me down
Everything just crashes to the ground
Cause you were always in my way

I can feel a brake
A bruise from another day
It's hard to say just what i feel
It all seems broken now
When i'm stuck on the in between
Staring at something out of reach

Repeat chorus

Go!

Yeah you're always in my way
Yeah you're always in my way
You bring me down
Everything just crashes to the ground
Cause you were always in my way
Cause you were always in my way
Cause you were always in my way
Yeah


4.Safer On The Outside

I'm no good
I feel too small
Something's gonna burn
Sink on you
Drunken highways
Someone take the wheel

Chorus:
Faded in the blackout you left me in
It's safer on the outside
I'm swimming in
This kerosene it's hard to breathe
Statics got me down

I can't sleep
I'm disconnected
Everything went wrong
And certain stars
Are sad and bruised like
Someone's cheating heart

Repeat chorus (3x)

Got me down, got me down, got me down
Safer on the outside, safer on the outside
Safer on the outside


5.I'm A Fool

Got nothing to loose this time
And i'm bored with the same old lines
I never know what to do or what to say to you
One look and you'll knock me out
You put me on the floor with a ten count
I don't wanna make a scene i gotta make you see
That i've been waiting for a girl like you
And i know there's nothing i could do

Chorus:
Don't wanna make you hurt
Don't wanna make you feel
Like the world ain't on your side
Like you're never gonna get it right
No i can't fight i can't sleep at night
Just thinking about you girl
I'm a fool for you
Yes i am

You've been on my mind
Since i saw you walking by
I knew i had to know you better you were everything
But i didn't know what to say
So you just walked away
I couldn't believe what a fool i was to let you go
Cause that i've been waiting for a girl like you
And i know there's nothing i could do

Repeat chorus

Yeah

Then i saw you at the beach talking with my friends
I couldn't believe my eyes it was my lucky day
So i just asked you out to the forum to see no doubt
When you said you would go i thought i might explode
Cause that i've been waiting for a girl like you
And i know there's nothing i could do

Repeat chorus (2x)

Yes i am
I am a fool for you
Yes i am
I am


6.Hi-fi Killer

I wanna turn you on again
Turn you around and maybe then tune you out
I don't know how to make it real
What ever you want it's not big deal
Change my tone

Chorus:
I gotta disappear
Don't wanna hear that sound on the radio
Yeah we could all hum along
Cause it's the same old song

I don't know how to make it stop
(go left to the dial) to really rock
But i'm not sure yeah
I'll kick it over anyway
It's cool but your starting to decay
It's in your face

Repeat chorus

You could watch me come undone
You could watch me come undone
Yeah you
You could watch me come undone
(two) freak you
You could hum along, you could hum along
You could hum along, you could hum along

I wanna turn you on again
Turn you around and maybe then

Repeat chorus

I gotta disappear
Don't wanna hear that sound on the radio
Yeah we could all hum along
Yeah we could hum along
Yeah


7.Blue Day

I wanna get out when everything's alright
Can't you see i'm a wreck gonna crash and burn
I wanna get out i've done my time
If you fuck with me i might blow your mind yeah

I'm not qualified to answer anyone
If the world can wait then why can't i
You're not justified in what you do or say
Empty heads in a line yeah you're on your way

Chorus:
I'm not asking for much just get outta my way
I'm in the eye of the storm beautiful blue day

Repeat 1st verse

Repeat chorus (2x)

Blue day (3x)


8.My Only Enemy

I don't ever try
To keep the love alive
I've found the frequency
You sucked it out of me
I'm not the only one
To hold a smoking gun
You felt the gravity
You think you're finally free

I don't even know
Which way it oughta go
Get out before you drown
Before they bring us down
It's all inside of me
My only enemy
You sucked it out of me
You fucked it outta me

Watch the world turn on
Watch the world turn on
Watch the world turn on
My only enemy

I want it all before you go
I want it all before you go
I want it all before you go

I don't ever try
To keep the love alive
I've found the frequency
You sucked it out of me
You sucked it out of me
You sucked it out of me
My only enemy, my only enemy
Watch the world turn on
Watch the world turn on
Watch the world turn on
My only enemy, my only enemy
My only enemy, my only enemy
My only enemy
Well fuck you, well fuck you


9.Don't Wait For The Sun

I don't need to know why
Cause tomorrow i'll be fine
I should learn to be still
If i close my eye i'll realize what you meant

Chorus:
Don't wait for the sun
It could turn black any day
I lost my hat in the clouds
When will the haze go away
I never wanted this

Now it's all i've got
Someone else is keeping time
I think i'm falling apart
If you were me would you do it like i do

Repeat chorus (2x)

So don't wait for the sun
Don't wait for the sun
Don't wait for the sun
It could turn black any day
You're all that i wanted


10.Another Perfect Day

I'm holding on waiting for your call
It's simple but i can't explain this
I'm sinking down i feel like i could die
I'm falling off i don't know why

Chorus:
I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day
I still believe it when you say
It's another perfect day
Another perfect day

So i might try to leave it all behind
I know tomorrow's not so bright now
I'll say goodbye cause nothing good can last
(you wear and figured no where fast)
And today i don't know how too keep it all inside
But i guess i'll let it slide

Repeat chorus

Today i don't know why
I thought that it was real
But i guess it's no big deal

Repeat chorus

I don't know how
I don't know how
To let it slide


11.Scar

I could hang around
You could let me down again
But it's killing me
I can't waste a sound again
You'll break me if you can
You'll break me if you can

Chorus:
Drag me down again
It's hard to be your scar
A frozen satellite
You never got that far
It's hard to be your scar
Be cool like you

Every sorry lie
I can't live that down no
So you'll wait and see
I'm caught between the seam and me
You'll break me if you can
You'll break me, break me if you can

Repeat chorus

I could hang around
You could let me down

Drag me down again
It's hard to be your scar
A frozen satellite
You never got that far (never got that far)

So drag me down again
It's hard to be your scar
A frozen satellite
You never got that far (never got that far)

Never got that far (never got that far)
Never got that far


12.What About Today

It's getting hard
But you don't even know
Maybe you can't see
I'm getting tired
I've been still
I'll panic on

Chorus:
Hearts are sinkin' blind)
Yeah well you don't even know
All you gotta do
Just stop and ask me
Silver, chrome and steal (steam??)
Set the tone and set me out
It's everything you want
Complete the failure

No more to say
What about today
What's really going on
And between the blind
And blood shot eyes
I'd thought i'd see my way
See my way

Repeat chorus

Yeah you're getting awfully close
Yeah you're getting awfully close

Repeat chorus

Complete the failure
Complete the failure


13.Wall Of Sound

It don't mean nothing
When you say it's gonna be alright
Cause you'll tell me anything i wanna hear
And it don't mean nothing
When you laugh at my jokes
Cause it's all or nothing when i fall apart
Fade, fade, fade
Into you

You're under my skin now
I could shut out the world that we know
I'll try to be everything you want me to be
And i've gotta head start
But i'm making the same mistakes
Cause it's all or nothing when i fall apart
Fade, fade, fade
Into you

Chorus:
Caught in the rush of the crowd
Lost in a wall of sound
You were ringing in my ear
Caught in the rush of the crowd
Lost in a wall of sound
You were ringing in my ear

My ear

Fade, fade, fade, fade

Repeat chorus
