Kids in the Street

The All-American Rejects Kids in the Street Lyrics
1.Fast and Slow

If only for tonight.
Yea I could dig myself a grave,
But even 6 feet down I know
I'll be found feeling this way.
If only I could find
yea just a reason to believe,
That there's nothing that's up your sleeve
Even though you're wearing that tank top.
Love me or leave me but just not behind.
We don't need money the way we spend time
'Cause if its real tonight, you and I could really do something.

You go fast. I'll go slow
Meet you in the middle just to let you know.
Its gonna be alright, (Its gonna be alright)
If its me and you tonight (If its me and you tonight).
You go fast, I go slow
Light my fuse and your body explodes.
It's going to be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Are you ready now? I'm ready now.

If only I were bright (if only I were bright)
Then I could let go of my brain
But I turnicate? on your sweet injection into my vein
and Oooh, that's the stuff (that's the the stuff you give to me
it's like a-)
And I say that you're the drug.
Twelve steps wouldn't be enough to kick your just that rough.
Make me a crazy I just can't define.
There's not a closet for you in my mind
Oh, but you puzzle me tonight.
Let's play with your bits and pieces.


Baby...
Oooh I wanna take my time. (I need you baby...)
If u stay with me once again, once again.
Its a heart attack, heart attack
'Cause I want you so bad. (oh I want you too)
Well I hope (this lasts) for ever (and ever)

You go fast.. I'll go slow


2.Out the Door

Shot by bedroom eyes
And that scream in silence frozen fire hypnotize
And I can't disguise the words that I stole from your lips
Her ransom for your body burn your fingertips
But just don't be it

And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door that's next to you
And I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

Oh

We're both right
We feast on poisoned apples and just appetite
But I'm petrified I take my time and you're the climb
And that second hand you placed on me my heart could stop
You're sick, tock, tick, tock

And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door that's next to you
'cause I needed to
And I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

And every single day
I'll remember
You never take away
Even if it's wrong

I walk out the door

And I walk out the door
I walk right out the door that's next to you
'cause I needed to
And I never asked for more
I get my fix if I get close to you
With just a dose of you

And every single day
I'll remember
You never take away
Even if it's wrong, yeah

I walk out the door
I walk out the door
And I walk out the door


3.Affection

I always wonder where you are
I'm right beside you, you're so far away
Moments you're not friends with me
Are moments you're not chasing me

I don't believe in good goodbyes (goodbye)
'cause even when the roses die
There's still some thorns left in your side
It's like a funeral for the bride (for the bride)
And I know candy girls, yeah they just rot your teeth
But I've always been such a sucker for sweets

I need affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All I want right now is affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't mean to point your direction
Girl, it's not what you do,
What you don't do makes me have to talk to you about affection
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
I need affection
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Somewhere alone is when I die (when I die)
On the banks of some canal, yeah, the river bed, the tears I
tried to hide
Even fools will believe in lies (believe in lies)
And if every word you ever said were true
You'd be my god and I'd just pray to you

For affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All I want right now is affection (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't mean to make a confession
Girl, it's not what you do,
What you don't do makes a man come unglued of affection (oh, oh,
oh, oh)
I need affection

Ah, why won't you dance with me
There's no more romance with me
You don't think I see you
But I see right through you, baby

Whoa, affection (affection)
All I wanted was affection (affection)
All I needed was affection

What'd you do (what'd you do)
What'd you do (what'd you)
What'd you do

Affection
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You don't think I see you
I see right through you

You don't think I see you
But I do


4.Beekeeper's Daughter

La Da Da Da Da

I've been known a thousand ways
choked a hundred hearts in half as many days
Oh no, I think so
And i get so lost inside this city
You ugly girls all look so pretty
It's true, what am I supposed to do?

I still got you to wait
Look out your window
What do you see?
You don't see me

You're a pretty little flower
And I'm a busy little bee
Honey, that's all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
But then I'm gonna leave
Honey, I know you'll wait for me

La Da Da Da Da

Your old enough but you understand
That we're too young to start making plans
Agreed
Monogamy's not a part of me
And I know my lying, and It's just a sin
But I swear to you I'm gonna do it again
I'm not making any friends

I just wanted you to wait
There out your window
What do you see?
You don't see me
(You don't see me)

You're a pretty little flower
And I'm a busy little bee
Honey, that's all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
Baby, then I'm gonna leave
Honey, i know you'll wait for me

La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da Da

Pulled out your picture the other day
(Aw, isn't that sweet?)
You didn't have that much to say
(Cause it wasn't even me)
Cause i know, you said
I'm better off on my own
And I'm better off dead

I just wanted you there to wait
There out your window
What do you see?
You don't see me

Go!

Come on! Come on! Come on!
Pretty little flower
I'm a busy little bee
Honey, that's all you need to see
I can take you for an hour
Maybe two, or maybe three
Honey, i know you'll wait for me

La Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da Da

Honey, that's all you had to say


5.Bleed into Your Mind

How long has it been since I writ you
These papercut hands need to stop
And lonely's a plague but it skipped you
I suffer 'til you cut me up

Then I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last time

How well you put yourself together
When pieces of you swept away
And somehow forever will never
Put me on my knees at your feet today

And then I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last time

You'll never forgive me
How can I forget you
Yeah, I fill you full of little lies
You're still hungry for the truth

And I know we've got problems (oh, oh)
Let's just try to stop them (oh, oh)
Hang on

In your mind I still love you
In know in time you'll feel it too

I bleed into your mind
I need to make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last

And I bleed into your mind (your mind)
With a love that'll make you blind
I bleed into your mind
I need you one last


6.Gonzo

I'll never forget when we started out
The beat of the drum
A face in the crowd
It's better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come, now not a soul can change
Remember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
It's better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life, it was our turn to play
It's time, only when you look forward can you see behind
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride

Every trial and every test
We'd drive to the east and we'd fly to the west
Just running away, just running away
We can be different cause they're all the same
Every night that we'd ever start, and every beat of every heart
Is running away, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
It's time, only when you look forward can you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go alive
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Dampened in the light
But glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Falling was an art
We lost ourselves to find
somewhere down the line it's time

Dampened in the light
But glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Falling was an art
We lost ourselves to find somewhere down the line
it's time
For some it's a guide, for me it's a fact
We'd make a mistake trying taking one back
It's better this way, it's better this way
Out of the grind and then into the grave
It's time, it's time, only when you look forward can you see
behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go alive


7.I For You

Say the words I cannot say
Say them on another day
Fragile words like these will cut your tongue
Was I good enough? Was I bad enough?
When I wanted more, yeah, you had enough.
But nobody's gonna try for you. Nobody's gonna do like I for
you.
And every slow-lit cigarette that nervous hands can barely get
the courage
I could always feel your eyes
And those dresses you made look like gowns
You're a sinner but the devil didn't turned you down.
But, nobody's gonna try for you. Nobody's gonna do like I for
you.
Nobody's gonna try for you. And nobody's gonna love you.
And nobody's gonna do like I for you.
Hold me like you never could, I'll hold you like I said I would.
Air or light won't breathe nor shine between.
With your feather lips, yeah you fly away
Well I hope they come back down someday, cuz
Nobody's gonna try for you. Nobody's gonna do like I for you.
Somebody's getting by for you. I don't bend, I just break in
two.
Somebody like me...I'd die for you.


8.Heartbeat Slowing Down

I still remember that empty look left on your face
You took the pictures, but you left the phrase
All we had written well, its been erased

Something that I had to do
A cut you'd need your bleeding through
Your every single shade of blue
I'm staring right in front of you

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around
You can, take my life
All you need, make me right, I can't sleep
When your heartbeat slowing down

But hey you left scattered like fishes, led to the ground
Bearing my face in your pillow just to smell your perfume
Outside I'm hungry but inside, I'm just consumed
Tell me how am I supposed to breathe
Losing you is choking me

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around
You can, Take my life
All you need, make me right, I can't sleep
When your heartbeat slowing down

Have I been paper sand, I want to burn it down
And never felt so cold
And when I burn this down
I hope i burn it down
and leave me on my own

I fucking hate this town
I want to burn it down
I never found a cold

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
Slooooooooooo-
I can hear your heartbeat slowing down
I can hear your heartbeat turn me around
You can, Take my life (Take my life)
All you need (all you need)
make me right (make me right)
I can't sleep when your heartbeat slowing down

I can hear your heartbeat slowing down


9.Kids in the Street

In the night, in the beat city light
We steal ourselves away and hold on tight
You were there, yeah, we were all there
Too young, too smart, too much for this one town
We'd get so high, we got lost coming down

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would ever care?
Always keep, to the kids in the street

We were dreams, we were American graffiti scenes
But no war, no peace, no hopes, no dreams, just us
And the songs, with the words we'd sing wrong
And we'd drive until that jealous sun fell down
Just to wash ourselves in the moonlight summer sounds

When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
When we were kids in the street, kids in the street
Remember when we

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Live and die by the forty-five
Take me back, I'll go there
Who could stop us, and who would ever care?
Always keep, to the kids in the street

(huh, huh, huh) and we never felt, so alive (so alive)
(Huh, huh, huh) and we'd dance, all, night, under the sky (under
the sky)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) and we'd live (we'd live), we'd breath (we'd
breath), we'd die (we'd die)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) when the world, stood, still, for you and I
Just (you and I)

Candles burn, 'cause the world will always turn
I'll burn both ends until my fire's out
Lost in the darkness, I can still scream out (aaah)

We used to laugh, we used to cry
Say goodbye to I-35
Take me back, down a dirty road
Where it went, we didn't care to know
A glory night is a story saved
Mark the chapter, but turn the page
Always keep, to kids in the street
When we were kids in the street
Just kids in the street

(Whoa)
(Whoa-ooh)


10.Someday's Gone

What makes you so damn sure,
That you're perfect, huh?
I can't explain you
Just like a nightmare
I can't remember
What makes you so damn sure
That you're worth it huh?
You're just a bad trip

I can't come back from since last December
I walk into the room and you steal everyone
I see you walk into the room
And you kill everyone cause I know

My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

How did you figure that I let you cut me down
Right at the knees,
I fall like a dead man out of the airplane
How do you figure that I let you drag me around, huh?
You got my number, draw me a story tell me a picture
I walk into the room and you fled everyone
And then you walked into the room, it's so sad everybody already
knows

My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
Just let it go

Even when I live, a piece of me will die
Win some, lose some, she won't bare the knife
Maybe when I sleep,
I'll see you in my dreams
Forget about it one day
The day I might see you
You walked into the room and you f*cked everyone
And then you walked into the room, well so what, everybody
already knows

My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye
My someday's gone now
Bye bye

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go


11.Walk Over Me

Soooo, tell me about your mother?


Hey doctor doctor can you please just give me something for the
state i'm in
I'm having trouble in society, believe i got it wrong again.
I'm one month sober, i don't think i'm getting over my
predicament
But if i jumped out of the window, what would she say?

It's not on me,
It's all on you.
We can't deny
The things we do
I can't believe
Her pretty feet walked over me,
All over me.

Help me help me doctor, seems to be alot alot for me to
understand
I know i'm not a best of man the troubles and the mess i'm in, i
should be dead.
He said: let's see what i think that you've had all your fun
it's time to be a man
So you better quit your bitchin, think about what the people
would say.

It's not on me,
It's all on you.
I can't prescribe
What you want me to
You need some sleep
You better leave
He walked over me,
All over me.

Wait until tomorrow, it is gone. So long.
You can wait until tomorrow, so long. And it's gone.
Wait until tomorrow, yeah

He don't got alot,
But he's got all he needs.
I need someone to love
And all he's got well,
It's all that he needs
Somebody help me, cuz i can hear what you're singing to,
To get me through anything i do. Anything will do with or about
me.
A little pill a little thrill. Should i take it? I think i will.
Anything will do, as long as it's always true but
Either way, i don't give a damn what you people are say..

It's not on me,
It's all on you.
I can't deny
The things i do
I can't believe
Her pretty feet walked over me
All over me yeah!

It's not on me,
It's all on you,
A bastard child,
This beautiful truth.
Now you can see
Me when i leave,
Walk over you.
All over you.
