What It's All About

The Boys Of Summer What It's All About Lyrics
1.My Best Interest

Lyricist:Jon-paul Bakaric, Kyle Jordan Mueller, Joshua Peter Waldorf,
Mark Wayne Warren

You are a flower in disguise
Mission accomplished 'cause I wanna hide
Run and write for you into the cold nights
Sleep in bed until the morning comes alive

You are a battle in my head
A drink to take down when I'm depressed
A cure all for the medicine's that I miss
These things that I gotta give up for you

So take your last drink and when it settles
You can find the comfort in your arms but never in your heart
'Cause all those days that I wished that I could be with you
Was not good for me, was never good for me anyway

You are a case of writers block
Blood clots in the arteries of all my hopes and dreams
Your heart is ever cold so much that I can see
My breath when I speak your name, I can feel all your pain
From all those things that you've done wrong

So open up your window to me
And tell me that you love me tell me I'm the only one
Open up your window to me 'cause I hope the sound of my name
Makes your skin crawl, makes your bones ache

This is for all of the wrongs I can't right those scary things
in the night
Those places I wanna go 'cause God I miss my home
If just had one more chance, I swear that I'd make it right
I swear I say all those things I never said
Couldn't say wanted to say to you


2.A Long Road Home

Lyricist:Jon-paul Bakaric, Kyle Jordan Mueller, Joshua Peter Waldorf,
Mark Wayne Warren

I've been hiding out in a bottle for three whole years now
And I want to get out, yeah, I wanna get out
But reality keeps telling me
That my humanity is gonna get a check now

And no this was not a plan, it was just a gift
It was just a shooting star and I grabbed hold of it
No it was not a test, it was just a space for me to reflect
A place and time where I had no regret

And I feel like I'm running now
Like I'm heading for a long road home
Yeah, I feel like I'm living now
Like I'm heading for a long road home

And I've been struggling for years
To keep my head up off the ground
And all I have got to show for
This is all that I am left with

My past due bills and I've got friends
A depleted account and these string stained hands
But I've seen more than most
From coast to coast living on the road

Tick, tock, a limerick under your breath
Its four words, yeah, I know what you're saying
'I'm always coming down 'cause I am'

Well, I said, 'Oh no, I won't go all the way home
As long as you're here'
Home, a place where I feel, where I feel


3.85 Insignificant Heartbeats

Lyricist:Jon-paul Bakaric, Kyle Jordan Mueller, Joshua Peter Waldorf,
Mark Wayne Warren

I got a problem brewing in my hands
'Cause I planned for adventure and lived in the moments
Burdens fell on me the same way they fell on you
But I love that we can do the things we wanna do

Indulging all our vices, accept that it is what it is
Throw it all up in the air and let it fall into place
If we can build it up then well blow it up in the end
'Cause all I wanna do is relive the moments

I used to keep it all in my head
'Cause I had a dream that I wanted to share with the world
That you tried to take away
And the trouble with all of this is you will never admit

It's just too easy to quit and turn your back on all your
friends
I used to keep it all in my head
All my dreams and the words you said
You never leave a damn thing unsaid

That being said were over it
I got all this time and more to lose
But not another minute wasted on you
'Cause you sing the blues it's your only tune

With your half hearted gratitude
And wouldn't you be proud if I fell into
A dark coma, I could pine for you
But you won't get that from me, no

No you won't get that from me, not one thing
I'd draw my name into the sands
Hoping that someone would walk by it
Hoping that somebody gave a shit

Tree tops the vodka sprung over it
Basing my name on a wall I take the big fall
I'm running down the hall
I have got to get over this, I have got to get over this

'Cause everybody comes and goes we know
Everybody thinks we need to show
A little more appreciation for their role but we don't


4.Is She Fiction

Lyricist:Jon-paul Bakaric, Kyle Jordan Mueller, Joshua Peter Waldorf,
Mark Wayne Warren

Wish, wish if you will but not for the cynic in your head
Or the background noise in your bed
The one truth that I wanna have, the one thing I can't grasp
The one person I can't get is she fiction or is she real

I once had a dream so bright my eyes they lit up night skies
I reached for the sun to be burned by no one but me
And now I medicate just to make time fly by
But this road is tough, and not for the faint of heart

If you can pull out your side arms then we will push
If I could only sing it out loud, she'd know she's in my head
Doctor, don't you tell anyone that she's my Achilleas heal
'Cause my nights spent searching dead damp bodies

On a dark street isn't what I need
I'd love to make a entrance and a difference
But I'm not sure how to go about it
So I sing it out, and I can sing it proud

And if you know it now, you can make it out
'Cause hospital morgues get more passion then I get
'Cause I'm obsessive by nature and compulsive by most
circumstance
Guided by only one thing going on in my fucking head

I've spent so much time chasing after one girl I'm never gonna
have
I've spent so much time chasing after one dream that I won't get
And I'm gonna sing it loud until everyone hears me in this town
You are not the cynic inside my head, your are the background
noise

You are the story of things I've left unsaid
The one truth that I wanna have, you are the one thing that I
can't grasp
The one person that I can't get, you are it, the only thing I
still need
So are you fiction or are you real? Are you fiction or are you
real?


5.Things In Twos

Lyricist:Jon-paul Bakaric, Kyle Jordan Mueller, Joshua Peter Waldorf,
Mark Wayne Warren

I got these words in my head but I can never speak them
I'm on my way downtown with at least two drinks in hand
Stone cold love is for the weak, baby
But your love is the only thing I see

I turn the place upside down just to find the right shoes
I only have one pair but it's just something to do
Stone cold love is for the weak, baby
But your love is the only thing that I see

My pride running dry and you are not by my side
My bands not blowing up but I don't wanna give up
Sing it loud, sing it proud, sing it till
I can't count, 1, 2, 3, 4, I'll be knocking at your door

She loves to call me out on things that I cannot do to well
I love the smell of dirty laundry as you throw me out of your
hotel
1, 2, 3, 4, I'll be knocking at your door

Things in two's don't go well, 'cause I can't play show and tell
But I will die in this van until someone gives a damn
Stone cold love is for the weak, baby
But your love is the only thing I see

I've got a pocket full of nothing, my bro's my only breath check
And I can't seem to get myself out of my own fucking head
But I wanna explore you, I wanna exploit you


6.This Is It

I want you to jump out of your seat*
Begin to scream and repent, repent for all of us,
Cause you don't know everything

I want you to take your army back out to the streets
Stand on your own two feet, because you can be proud
To fight side by side with people like me

And I know I can fight for the right cause, when the cause is
just
I can be found with the touch of it off,
Like a fire worked explosion inside of her
If I take time for granted,
Then damn me down cause I wont die without a fight

So ran sack it all, you can take the big fall,
You can drink down the whole bottle, you can drink for the fun
of it all,
I will miss you all when I'm gone,
Cause I know I can do it

So c'mon get up love do you have nothing better to say?
It's my fault love all I do is push you away
Cause this is it I know that shes just a person now, shes just a
person like me,
So talk to me, yeah I know that I do, I know I love You
She's just a person like me


7.Love Like An Arms Race


8.Night Light


9.Maps And Magnets

And I saw a map of the world*
That only cared about the place where you were
And I heard the saddest of songs
But couldn't help but smile cuz I am in love

And I don't wanna lose
Wanna lose
No, I don't wanna lose
Any part of you

Cuz tangled up in your arms, I could die
I could die staring into those eyes
And our lips connect like magnets
Yours positive, mine negative

And I've read countless covers of books
But only cared to turn the pages of yours
And I know the magic behind the trick
But I'm still in awe when all the smoke clears

Cuz I saw a map of the world
That only cared about the place where you were
And I heard the saddest of songs
But couldn't help but smile cuz I am in love

And I don't wanna lose
Wanna lose
No, I don't wanna lose
Any part of you

Cuz tangled up in your arms, I could die
I could die staring into those eyes
And our lips connect like magnets
Yours positive, mine negative

I love the way you rest your head inside my lap to fall asleep
I love the way you cut my hair and how excited that you get
To vacuum the mess, yes, vacuum the mess, yes, vacuum the mess

Definitely maybe, it is quite a possibility
That every little piece of you is drawn into a piece of me
Because, because, because

Tangled up in your arms, I could die
I could die staring into those eyes
And our lips connect like magnets
Yours positive, mine...

Tangled up in your arms, I could die
I could die staring into those eyes
And our lips connect like magnets
Yours positive, mine negative
