The Con

Tegan And Sara The Con Lyrics
1.I Was Married(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

I married in the sun
(Tell me where, tell me where)
Against the stone of buildings built before
You and I were born
(Start again, start again)
Into my heart confusion grows against
The muscles fought so long
(Fought. So. Long.)
To control against the pull of one magnet to another
Magnet to another
Magnet

Now we look up in
(Tell me who, tell me who)
Into the eyes of bullies breaking backs
They seem so very tough
(It's a lie, it's a lie)
They seem so very scared of us
I look into the mirror
(Look. In. To.)
For evil that just does not exist
I don't see what they see
(Tell them that, tell them that)
Try to control against the pull of one magnet to another
Magnet to another
Magnet to another
Magnet to another


2.Relief Next To Me(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

I miss you now
I guess like I should have missed you then
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind, in and out of windows
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for me
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
I'll tell you now
I guess like I should have told you then
The thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for you
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need


3.The Con(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

I listened in
Yes I'm guilty of this you should know this
I broke down and wrote you back before you had a chance to
Forget forgotten
I am moving past this given notice
I have to go
Yes I know the feeling, know you're leaving

Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now

I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry

Spelled out your name and lists the reasons
Faint of heart
Don't call me back
I imagine you when I was distant
Not insistent
I follow suit and laid out on my back
Imagine that
A million hours left to think of you and think of that

Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now

I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry

Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down

Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry

Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody,
Nobody, Nobody, Nobody, Nobody,

Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down


4.Knife Going In(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

If I don't recover,
Sell this house and find something lost outside your window.
Not forever.
On the night I die I swear I'll sleep outside your window.

I feel the knife going in,
I'm feeling anxious.
Not enough to kill me,
I thought it'd happen fast.
But I'm feeling it now
And I feel anxious.
Sleeping inches from me,
I let it pass.

Emy should I stop?
Do you think I'll make it to the morning if it's written?
Stitch it up.
The kind of song I know cause mother, sister, lover worry.

I feel the knife going in,
I'm feeling anxious.
Not enough to kill me,
I thought it'd happen fast.
But I'm feeling it now
And I feel anxious.
Sleeping inches from me,
I let it pass.


5.Are You Ten Years Ago(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

If you're taken I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles

I collapse
I might stay out longer than I left the light on for you
Then if you show, you show
If you show, you show
When I feel like this
When I get so into myself
I lose track of where I'm going and lose track of how to get
going again
I feel myself slowing down
Feel myself turning around
Is this taken?
When I feel like this
When I get so sick of myself
Where are you going now without me
And not knowing then, that we're slowing down
You've gotta turn that around
And tell me that I'm taken, tell me if I'm yours
You collapse
The pressure of this life is so
You can't be held accountable
If you go, you go
If you go, you go
When you act like this
When you get so sick, of yourself
The whole world falls away and since I feel
Like I have only missed the feeling that I'm here again
The feeling that I'm clear again
I'm not taken
When you act like this
When you get so into yourself
I lose sight of common goals
And letting go so I can be all alone
Feel myself, going slow
Feel myself, letting go
Not taken, not feeling like I'm yours

I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles

I collapse
This life looks like a sentence, though
A constant game of falling short
If you know, you know
If you know, you know
When I feel like this
When I'm just so sick of feeling less than perfect
Is it right for me
I never fight to see if coming clean would get to me
I feel myself, holding back
I feel the pressure, it's finally back
I'm taken
When you feel like this
When you saw it call come crashing down
Subtle but not underground
I was there
I saw the signs, I saw unfair
And so I write to you through other means
I let myself finally feel taken
Like I was yours

If you're taken I am yours
I'm up and doing circles

I'm taken, I am yours
I'm up and doing circles

I collapse
I collapse
I collapse


6.Back In Your Head(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

Build a wall of books between us in our bed
Repeat, repeat the words that I know we both said
Relax into the need
We get so comfortable
Remember when I was so strange and likeable
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
When I jerk away from holding hands with you
I know these habits hurt important parts of you
Remember when I was sweet and unexplainable
Nothing like this person, unlovable
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
Run, run, run
Run
Run, run, run
Run
I just want back in your head
I just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful
But I'll stray


7.Hop A Plane(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

I took the train back
back to where I came from
I took it all alone it's been so long I know
imagine me there my heart asleep with no air
begging ocean please, help me drown these memories

all I need to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine

I'm moving east there's somewhere far away from
the sight of my hands the sight of me not moving
you can't just hop a plane and come and visit me again
I claim it's in my head and I regret offering

all I need to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine
all I want to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine

you take a second take a second take a year take a year
you took me out and took me in and told me all of this
and then you take a moment take a moment take a year take a year
you help me out I listen in you taught me all of this and then

all I want to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine
all I want to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine
all I need to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine
all I want to hear is that you're not mine you're not mine

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

oh and I'm feeling direction less yes
but that's to be expected and I know that best
and in creeps the morning and another day's lost
you've just written one dream and I reply fast

all you need to save me all you need to save me
call (call) and I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from it
all
and I won't take any other call

I feel like a fool so I'm going to stop troubling you
buried in my yard a letter to send to you
and if I forget or god forbid die too soon
hope that you'll hear me know that I wrote to you

all you need to say to me all you need to say to me
is call (call) and I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from
it all
and I won't take any other call


9.Burn Your Life Down(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

Tell me that you know another way to get it done
It's for me or how I would be but it's a different situation
A different situation

You lay awake in the night just staring at the ceiling above
Pulling pieces of it out is such a waste of time
Keep on fighting to remember that nothing is lost in the end
When you burn
Burn
Burn your life down

Get me to the door
Out of bed
On the track
I'm not sure
Starting over
It's a different situation
A different situation

You wake up in the night and refuse to be afraid of it now
unfolding pieces of it faster
Don't you waste your time
You've been planning to remember so nothing will be lost in the
end
And you burn
Burn
Burn your life down

And you burn
Burn
Burn your life down

I travel around the block and I'm not looking to my right
I feel the glass against my cheek and I can't see you in the
light
I break my heart around this
Break my heart around this

I travel around the block and I'm not looking to my right
I feel the glass against my cheek and I can't see you in the
light
I break my heart around this
Break my heart around this pole

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin

And now we're saying bye
Bye
Bye
And now we're saying bye
Bye
Bye

I was nineteen
Call me

I felt you in my life before I ever thought to
Feel the need to lay it down beside you and tell you

And now we're saying bye
Bye
Bye
Now we're saying bye
Bye
Bye

I was nineteen
Call me

Flew home
Back to where we met
Stayed inside

I cooked up a plan
So good except I was all alone
You were all I had

Love you
You were all mine
Love me
I was yours right
I was yours right

I was nineteen
Call me
(Bye)

I was nineteen
Call me
(Bye)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart
I want to give directions
Helpful hints of what you'll be looking for
What you'll be looking for

I know I'll hold these thoughts in my heart forever
I know I'll hold
I'll hold

I know I'll hold these thoughts in my heart forever
I know I'll hold

All eyes are on me now
All eyes are on me now

I want your lungs to stop working without me
I think about writing you
I thought about calling you
What was I looking for
What am I looking for

I know I'll hold this pain in my heart forever
I know I'll hold
I'll hold

I know I'll hold this pain in my heart forever
I know I'll hold
I'll hold

All eyes are on you now
All eyes are on you now

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it when I feel this
pressure
I shouldn't go but I can't really help it when I feel this
pressure

All eyes are on me now
All eyes are on you now

All eyes are on you now
All eyes are on you now

I shouldn't go but I can't really help it when I feel this
pressure
I shouldn't go but I can't really help it when I feel this
pressure

I shouldn't go when I feel this building
I shouldn't go when I feel this building
I shouldn't go but I can't really help it when I feel this
pressure


12.Like O, Like H(Album Version)

Lyricist:Sara QuinTegan Quin
Writer(s):Sara QuinTegan Quin

When I was 8 I was sure I was growing nerves
Like steel in my palm
Make a map of what you see
Dragged pain effectively
I was 8, I was sure I was growing pain
Like lead in my feet

S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door

Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like O, like H in your gut
Like O, like H in your gut
Like O, like H in your gut
In your gut

S.O.S., S.O.S.

When I was four plus a ten I was swinging fist
Like nails in a board
Pull your hands inside of you
Six years 'till I'll be through
I was four plus a ten, I was swinging bad
Like a race to be sure

S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door

Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like O, like H in your gut
Like O, like H in your gut
Like O, like H in your gut
Like O, like H in your gut
(S.O.S., S.O.S., S.O.S.)
In your gut, in your gut
In your...

I swear I'll sleep outside your window

I feel the knife going in
I'm feeling anxious
Not enough to kill me
I thought it'd happen fast
But I'm feeling it now
And I feel anxious
Sleeping inches from me
I let it pass

Emy, should I stop?
Do you think I'll make it to the morning if it's written?
Stitch it up
The kind of song I know cause mother, sister, lover worry


10.Like O, Like H

Tegan and Sara
The Con
Like O, Like H
When I was eight
I was sure I was growing nerves
Like steel in my palm
Make a map of what you see
Direct pain effectively
I was eight
I was sure I was growing pains
Like lead in my feet
SOS to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
SOS to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh
Like O, like H
In your gut

In your
SOS
SOS
Then I was four plus a ten
I was swinging fists
Like nails in a board
Pull your hands inside of you
Six years 'til I'll be through
I was four plus a ten
I was swinging back
Like a race to be sure
SOS to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
SOS to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh, oh sugar spell it out like
Oh
Like O, like H
In your gut

12.Relief Next to Me

Tegan and Sara
The Con
Relief Next to Me
I miss you now
I guess like I should have missed you then
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind, in and out of windows
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for me
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need
I'll tell you now
I guess like I should have told you then
The thunder moves like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Slamming in my framework
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I know and what should matter most
I can't get close and I, I can't get close
And now there's just no point, in reaching out for you
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me
But I promise this
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need


13.Soil, Soil

Tegan and Sara
The Con
Soil, Soil
Oh and I'm feeling directionless yes
But that's to be expected
And I know that best
And in creeps the morning
And another day's lost
You've just written wondering
And I reply fast

All you need to save me
All you need to save me
Call(call)
And I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from it all
And I won't take any other call

I feel like a fool
So I'm going to stop troubling you
Buried in my yard
A letter to send to you
And if I forget
Or God Forbid
Die too soon
Hope that you'll hear me
Know that I wrote to you

All you need to say to me
All you need to say to me
Is call(call)
And I'll be curled on the floor hiding out from it all
And I won't take any other call


14.The Con

Tegan and Sara
The Con
The Con
I listened in
Yes I'm guilty of this you should know this
I broke down and wrote you back before you had a chance to
Forget forgotten
I am moving past this giving notice
I have to go
Yes I know the feeling, know you're leaving
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized, staring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now
I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Nobody like to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Spelled out your name and lists the reasons
Pain of heart
Don't call me back
I imagine you when I was distant
Non-insistent
I follow suit and layed out on my back
Imagine that
A million hours left to think of you and think of that
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
I'm capsized, staring on the edge of safe
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
I'm home now
I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Nobody like to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
Nobody like to but I really like to cry
Nobody likes me
Maybe if I cry
Nobody
Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
