The Bigger Lights

The Bigger Lights The Bigger Lights Lyrics
1.That Kind Of Girl

It was a Friday night, in the summer of '99
And all my friends, out raging till the party ends
And I'm looking up, before the sun is up
'Cause I don't care if or where anybody else is playing truth or
dare

And I don't really need them ooh,
When I'm with you
We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feelings right
So come on come on baby show me what your made of now
You're that kind of girl
You're that kind of girl

You led me up the stairs
I swear I'd let you take me anywhere
Don't want to fall for you
I can't believe what I'm about to do
And I'm wrapped around your finger, ooh,
When you're wrapped around me

And I don't really need them ooh,
When I'm with you
We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feelings right
So come on come on baby show me what your made of now
You're that kind of girl

Ooh and I'm wrapped around your finger, when you're wrapped
around me
We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feelings right
We're saying nighty night to the city lights
We're staying in tonight cause the feelings right
So come on come on baby show me what your made of now
We're singing la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
You're that kind of girl


2.Say What They'll Say

Your head in your hands
You?re feeling crushed
The tears are building up
They?re whispering now
With poison for words
When they think your back is turned.
If you feel like giving up
Just know they don?t know us

Let them say what they?ll say.
It wont drive me away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking.
They?ll say what they?
ll say because I wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they?ll say
Let them say what they?ll say

Tonight?s the night
We?ve had enough
Its time to call their bluff
We wont play along
We wont play the game
We?ll count down until they break
And they?ll drown there in their doubts
While they try to figure us out

Let them say what they?ll say.
It wont drive me away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking.
They?ll say what they?
ll say because I wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they?ll say

Let them talk in circles
Spilling every secret
Let them think that they have a chance
They can have their rumors twisted up and backwards
Let them think they?ll understand

Let them say what they?ll say
It wont drive us away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking
They?ll say what they say
And we wont run away
Nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they?ll say

They?ll say what they say
And wont drive us away
So let them keep on talking
Let them keep on talking
They?ll say what they say
And we wont run away
Because nothings going to stay in our way
No nothings going to stand in our way
Let them say what they?ll say
Let them say what they?ll say
Let them say what they?ll say


3.What About Us

I woke up
To an empty cup
And your page worth of crooked lines.
You took your space
And hid your face
Like you?ve done so many times.
I don?t want to wait that long
I don?t want to wait that long again
But I?ll see you when your winter ends

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough
When you?re the one giving up?

So careful now,
You?re running out
of comebacks and runaways
what about me?
what about love?
What about us?
What about us?

I close my eyes
You?re on my side
With summer tangled in your hair
The city lights were dim at night
Was there nothing for you there?
I don?t want to wait that long
I don?t want to wait that long again
But I?ll see you when your winter ends

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you?re the one giving up.

So careful now
You?re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about I?ve had enough?
I?ve called your bluff
Tonight I draw the line
I?ve cut the strings and burnt everything
I?m not coming back this time

I?m not going to wait that long
I?m not going to wait that long again.
I?m not going to wait

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you?re the one giving up?

So what about me?
What about love?
Is it ever going to be enough?
How can you breathe and act so tough?
When you?re the one giving up?

So careful now
You?re running out
Of comebacks and runaways
What about me?
What about love?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?


4.Hey Summer

Well, I don?t mean to push
The streets are rolled in dust
But you?re waiting there for me
What?s inside of us
That reaches out to touch
And always come up empty?
The doorway casts shadows on your skin
You crack your knuckles and you roll to win
You tie your laces tight and
you begin to run and run and run

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer,
Fighting as your city?s sinking
Hey lover
You don?t have to sleep alone
No you don?t

So mysterious
An isolationist
But you?re calling out to me
I?ll stand against your tide
I?ll let you seek and hide
I?ll wait so patiently
Draw a map of where you want to go
I?ll be the X on a desert road
The days are hot and the nights are cold
Just run and run and run

Hey summer
you wont be the one to give in
Hey summer
fighting as you citys sinking
Hey lover
You don?t have to sleep alone
No you don?t

Give me a sign
Give me the chance
To belong to you

Give me a sign
Give me the chance
To belong to you

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer
Fighting as your city?s sinking
Hey lover
You don?t have to sleep alone
No you don?t

Hey summer
You wont be the one to give in
Hey summer
Fighting as your city?s sinking
Hey lover
You don?t have to sleep alone
No you don?t


5.Jessie

A little baby in a black dress lately
Making me crazy makes me oh so sad
You've got me spinning in a thousand places
While you're out spending daddy's cash

So tell me tell me that the game is over
that you're done speeding up to take it slower
so let me in don't you let me down easy
i can't let you let me get away

Jessie, girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine, we play
Hide & seek inside my mind
I'll never rest, until i make you all mine

You're writing checks that your heart can't cash and
You string me out just to up and leave me hanging
I can't get you out of my imagination
Can't let you let me get away

Jessie, girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine, we play
Hide & seek inside my mind
I'll never rest until i make you all mine
Jessie, you never ever let me
Tell you what you mean to me
And your kiss and tell puts me through hell
I'll never rest until you know how I feel

I get you out alone in the backyard
To talk it out and telling you is so hard
So don't let me get away when i want you
So let me get you like you're knowing that i want to

I get you out alone in the backyard
To talk it out and telling you is so hard
So don't let me get away when I want you
So let me get you like you're knowing that I want to

Jessie girl you really messed me
Up inside this heart of mine
And your kiss and tell puts me through hell
Oh well, cause all i really wanted was
Jessie
Jessie

I want you until the end of time
So i'll never rest, until i make you all mine


6.Always

As we stood a top your best friend's porch
The wind cut through our teeth
I glued my feet in front of you
Cause I swore I'd never leave

And then it all falls down
Around me

As I watch you walk away from me
The street lights flicker then
Your shadow fades into the night
And my heart starts craving in

Gotta find a way
To get you back again

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say 'We'll be okay'
I will be here now and always to stay

It's a long way back from where we are
To where we used to be
When I'm haunted by the ghost of you
In a place that never sleeps

Gotta find the words
To get you back to me

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say 'We'll be okay'
I will be here now and always to stay

If you come back home
You'll never be alone
If you come back home
You'll never be alone
If you bring yourself
To live for someone else
Then you'll know

When the fire 'round our house is blinding
And the road to better days in far away
If the words can't be enough to say 'We'll be okay'
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay
I will be here now and always to stay


7.Get Lose


8.Queen Of Broken Hearts

You'll go where the summer goes, jet set to the southern coast*
I know that tonight can't last forever
But you'll flee when the party sleeps and I'll wake with the
memory
Of knowing in my bed and you inside my head
I can't stay away from you, I can't stay away from you

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, a Queen of broken hearts

Go slow, I'm keeping you close tonight, sneak out and get out
Of our clothes before we slip away, I don't want to slip away
To use me, you lose me, you move me to my knees,
With filthy wine and shivers gone, we kiss without control

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken
hearts

Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't stay away
from you
Can we make, make, make this last forever, I can't get enough of
Use me lose me, make me break me, tear me straight apart

I'm aware of what you are, and it t-t-tears me apart
I'm a Jack to give myself to you, Queen of broken hearts
I'm alive and I can see, that you can't keep killing me
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken
hearts
I'm a King to play the lonely part, for my Queen of broken
hearts


9.Skinny Jeans

She's got an old suitcase of summer clothes
But she's got nowhere to go
She's got fifteen bucks left to her name
And the road to call her own

She sleeps alone on city streets
And calls me on the phone to say
'I miss you all the time.
You're all I've got to stay alive'

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

She's got her heart tattooed with knotted words
That she though she still believed
A New York smile in skinny jeans
And the moves to make you scream

She'd rather run and cut her ties
Then stay and let the moment die
She's always on my mind
and without her, I can't survive

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

She came back from California
Lost her way alone in Georgia
Found she wanted something more
Like what she did before
And then she stumbled back into me
And took my breath away

I don't wanna take another step without you
And I don't wanna wake another day
To watch you walk away
So if you're mine, you better to mine
Until our lungs run out of time
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Baby so steal my heart
And I don't wanna feel this heart
Beat without you

Beat without you, yeah
Beat without you, yeah
Beat without you


10.Somewhere Out There

You took your steps
Away from me
So keep your distances
If you leave
I'm stuck inside a moment
With a suitcase of dusty dreams

The train starts leaving
With you inside
I close these blue eyes
And keep them tight
You swore to me forever
But forever was just a lie

I won't end up cryin' like I can't move on
But I can't pretend that you're better off gone
If it kills me now
It can't kill me when I'm over you, angel

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

If you never loved me
Then I don't need to know
And if you give your heart up
Make sure you take is slow

So if you're gonna leave me
Then pack your things and go

I won't end up cryin' like I can't move on
But I can't pretend that you're better off gone
If it kills me now
It can't kill me when I'm over you,

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

And I know
That I'm never gonna feel the way I felt again
When I met you, putting pretty pictures on your skin
I can't deny
That I wish this all was something more
I wish this all was something more than this

Jaded, faded
What lies in fireflies
Two heart tangled in goodbyes
But I'll be waiting
And I'll be fine
You're somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there


11.So Crazy

I woke up at two
With nothing to do
But stare at the ceiling in my room
There's places I'll go
When I'm stuck here lyin' on the floor

I used to be me
I used to be something worth believing in until
I traded in my pills in booze
And caught the traveler's blues

I know I'm the only one to blame
For all of my self-inflicted pain
But when I'm alone at night
I crush my maker's day

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

I'm stuck in a rut
I'm wondering what
It's gonna take to pick me up
To put a new step in my shoes
And get me on my way

I watch the TV
It puts me to sleep
I run from the dreams between my sheets
Where all of the friends that I lost
Are waiting for me

I know I'm a total tragedy
A shell of a boy without the teeth
To look in the mirror and say
'A man don't live this way'

C'mon!

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

But lately I am so
Crazy, I don't know
How I got myself this way
Don't wanna be
Broken and alone
Again, on my own
I hate me lately
Think I may be goin' crazy, baby

Cuz I may be goin' crazy, baby
I may be goin' crazy, baby
Now I know I'm goin' crazy, baby
Now you've got me goin' crazy, baby
One more time, Big Daddy!
