Bringin' It Home (EP)

The Hope Fallacy Bringin' It Home (EP) Lyrics
1.Behind Closed Doors

Let's pick up where we left off- was it something like*
'I didn't see this coming, but now that its here I fear
I'll wake up and see that it was all just a dream'?
(I'm where I want to be)
You mean the world to me, and I'm thinking that this could be
love

Maybe more along the lines of..

I hope you choke on the very next breath that you take
Drop deap at his feet; lipstick on his cheek
Says every time I turned my back you were on yours
Hidden behind closed doors

Let's make up for the time lost
An explanation's all I'm asking for, although I wouldn't expect
much more
Than a sorry excuse for an apology. To hell with you, you made a
fool of me
And finally I've opened my eyes; I've taken time to realize
I'm not the only one spending nights in your bed and
I'm not the only one filling thoughts in your head

And this is how we go, we go, we go
Cuz' this is all we know, we know, we know
And every time I turned my back you were on yours
I turned my back, you were on yours

A storybook ending for this summer romance never had a fighting
chance
Forget about a second chance at a first impression
Maybe more along the lines of losing trust and giving up
The empty bottle plea isn't gonna work on me anymore
I caught onto you, now with my fingers crossed I'm singing..


2.Over And Out

I blame myself for the situation I am finding myself in*
I guess I shouldv'e known, should've known better
Let her hope she never shows her face around this town again
She's got the legs for miles, the looks that kill
But with a body built for sin, I guess I should've known
Should've known that her beauty goes only so deep under her skin

And I'll never let her back,
No I'm never gonna let her back

You keep talking like you've got something left to prove
But now I'm dancing to a brand new groove
I know what you're about, this conversation is over
Over and out

So I called her up to say I've had enough
What do you take me for, a fool?
You gave yourself a way out, way out
But didn't think about your alibi, baby
(And you know they're gonna give you up)
The sighs, the moans; the sticks, the stones
That broke a body built for two
I guess I should've known, should've known how the story goes
Girl, I wrote the book on tricks like you

I never thought that it would come to this tonight
But now I've seen you in a brand new light
And honestly, I'll never be the same again
I'm over and out


3.Up All Night

Girl you got me looking backwards*
And its getting out of hand
If we're gonna move it foward,
You know its never what we planned
I wish that I could make this up
I wish that I could break us down
The way you do when I'm not around

Now I'm just trying to say that you're taking it the wrong way
I'm just trying to say that..

Girl if you keep walking I'm just one more room down
And I've been up all night, I've been up all night and
I swear I just can't help it, I'm so lost in those eyes
And I've been up all night, I've been up all night

When you dared me to give into you it felt so right
Just being crazy, young and out of touch, but feeling so alive
We were so alive

Now I'm just trying to say that you're taking it the wrong way
I'm just trying to say you got it all wrong (you got it all
wrong)

It was a sudden change of pace, an unexpected change in you
Addicted to the taste of your lips- it lingers as I wrap you
round' my fingers
And we head back to your room
Was it the drinks or the conversation got you feeling so sure?
Hesitation won't be anymore once I get you out of your clothes
You'll be holding me close to your chest- undressed, impressed,
and out of breath


4.Caroline Street

I'm getting lost in the way that you move tonight*
You're gonna give it up, give it up
And when the lights go out across the sky
You know that you and me, girl, haven't had enough
We're gonna run, run, run so far
Let's get ridiculous, we'll be conditionless
I'm thinking this could be the night be set our lives aside

No you'll never get away with this, you know
No you'll never get away with it
So drop the top back, baby let's roll
Cuz' he's not enough, not enough

A little more than a kiss on the lips tonight
We're alone again, you're heaven-sent
And angel, we could sit and talk all about our lives
But we'd rather get down to the radio
I know you know, the tension's burning up
But we can turn it up
And this will be the night we set ourselves on fire

I don't care about a word you say because
We're never gonna get back these days
And I can tell by the way your body shakes
And the way that you said goodnight
That I must have done something right


5.Dear Jesi

Sing for me and I'll come back to you*
I'll walk this line if you want me to
Tell myself lies like I always do

And I would give a thousand yesterdays for one more today
And I would give a thousand yesterdays to hear her say..

Stay strong love, I hate to see you crying
You know I'm looking down at you from the stars
You spend your nights wishing on

Place your bets, cuz this hand- it belongs to you
It always will, and I wanted to figure out the perfect way to
let you know
Just sing for me and I'll come back to you
If you take my hand then we'll make it through
But it breaks my heart when I think about the things we used to
do
(We had big, big plans)

I bet she's saying..
Stay strong love, you know I'm here
Through all your smiles and all your tears
Through all the miles and all the years, I'm here

(Sing for us and we'll come back to you
We'll walk this line if you want us to
Stay strong for us, we'll stay strong for you)


6.A Farewell To Arms

I've been letting down my guard, letting you back in again*
'We all make mistakes', she said
Forgive and forget who was wrong or right
Because it's all the same tonight
I want to be the one that you never forget

Baby all I ever wanted was to wake up to the sound of your
breathing
To know we made it through the night holding one another so
tight
Holding onto everything that just felt so right
Now I wish I could say all the words that you said
They never mattered anyway
All the words that you said never mattered anyway

You are everything I want and all that I can't live without
I know you have your share of doubt, but I can't forget
Laying in your car, staring at the stars
Only wishing on the brightest ones
You are the brightest one
