Late last night I came home from my girlfriends baby shower, and was sent Mayday Parade's new album "Anywhere But Here." Now because I love to have the lyrics my buddy Patrick and I listened to all the songs and typed up all the lyrics. THANKS! I'm now being told that Mayday Parade has posted them somewhere on a site talking about their album. Oh well it was fun to do. Feel free to correct any lyrics you may think are wrong. ENJOY!
1. Kids In Love
I look back to the one and any summer time.
My girl was the enemy of every friend of mine.
She slept safely in my arms.
We were so young and invincible.
Closed lips she was never one to kiss and tell.
Those trips in the summer never went so well.
Young rivals with such dumb love.
Call it what you want it, we're still in love.
And it's still, out of my reach.
And it's still, all of the things.
That I want in my life.
How could I ask you to leave me?
And we were just kids in love.
Summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breathe from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?
Our breathe smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
We walked down the beach counting every star.
Our hearts beat inside our chest.
Leaving us gasping for every breathe.
Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair.
Was so contagious in the air.
So satisfing and I'm still smiling.
And it's still, out of my reach.
And it's still, all of the things.
That I want in my life.
How could I ask you to leave me?
And we were just kids in love.
Summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breathe from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?
We're falling down...
Can we pick up the pieces?
We're at an all time low...
How do we get it back?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
We're falling down... can we pick up the pieces now?
And we were just kids in love.
Summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breathe from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us...
We were just kids in love.
Summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breathe from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?
We were just kids in love.
Summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breathe from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?
2. Anywhere But Here
Tonight is the one thing left.
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling.
And the writings on the wall.
Today was misery...
And I just can't believe this happened.
And I finally broke down.
She held onto my heart.
And now my only star is falling.
And it's burning to the ground.
Now I'm crying out...
Secret love, my escape.
Take me far, far away.
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here.
Anywhere but here.
You're all I've got right now.
No one else figures out this feeling.
And how lonely it can get.
These words can cut right through.
Cause all along I knew you're sorry.
But you haven't said it yet.
But I won't forget...
Secret love, my escape.
Take my far, far away.
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here.
When we're together,
Thoughts of her disappear.
If I fell to pieces,
You'd heal this pain I feel.
Secret love, my escape.
Take me far, far away.
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Secret love, my escape.
Take me far, far away.
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here.
Anywhere but here...
3. The Silence
Ten and two, she lies awake.
The moon light's up, the moonlight day.
Another night she spends alone.
Without his touch her skins too cold.
The blood that's running through her veins.
With every beat there's no escape.
Lost in everything she trust.
Still can't seem to get enough.
Even though the world she loved.
It wont never be the way it was.
And his heart of stone left hers breaking.
Every night she cries,
It dies a little more each time, say you love me. (you love me)
Nothing left inside, say you love me.
And the silence with set her free.
Memories they take her back.
Every moment fades to black.
Every kiss and every taste.
She wishes time would ease the pain.
Even though the world she loved.
It wont ever be the way it was.
Her heart is weak, her hands are shaking.
Every night she cries,
It dies a little more each time, say you love me. (you love me)
Nothing left inside, say you love me.
And the silence with set her free.
And every night she cries...
I don't know if we'll ever make this right.
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness.
And I'm so scared of this.
I don't know if we'll ever make this right.
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness.
And I'm so scared...
Even though the world she loved.
It won't ever be the way it was.
And his heart of stone left hers breaking.
Every night she cries,
It dies a little more each time, say you love me. (love me)
Nothing left inside, say you love me.
And the silence will set her free.
Every night she cries...
Every night she cries...
And the silence will set her free.
4. Still Breathing
Give me any reason to believe.
Cause I swear I'm done here.
Cause I've seen a bigger picture.
And I'm looking for some answers.
Tell me that it's worth it.
Cause I'm doing all I can to fight it.
And I've never been this scared.
And my moments finally here.
Time's racing, (please slow down)
I've gotta find my way out.
I'm hopeless. (but hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now,
Cause I'm still breathing.
It's hard to be a man.
But I'm doing all I can.
I'm ready to give this all I have.
I'm ready to be amazed.
Cause I'm standing here alone.
Trying to make this life my own.
And nothing will keep this heart from beating,
I'm still breathing...
Promise me some dignity,
If I were to stand and die here.
Cause my heart is somewhere else.
It's a pain I've never felt.
Time's racing, (please slow down)
I've gotta find my way out.
I'm hopeless. (but hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now,
Cause I'm still breathing.
It's hard to be a man.
But I'm doing all I can.
I'm ready to give this all I have.
I'm ready to be amazed.
Cause I'm standing here alone.
Trying to make this life my own.
And nothing will keep this heart from beating,
I'm still breathing...
Where do we all find love?
Where do we all find love?
It's hard to be a man.
But I'm doing all I can.
I'm ready to give this all I have.
I'm ready to be amazed.
(I'm still breathing)
Cause I'm standing here alone.
Trying to make this life my own.
(And I'm still breathing)
And nothing will keep this heart from beating,
I'm still breathing...
5. Bruised And Scarred
It all goes back to the first kiss.
It was the one I thought I'd never miss.
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones.
Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough.
This was suspposed to be the easy part.
But breaking down is what I've found hard.
Now I'm wearing the smile that I don't believe in.
Inside I feel like screaming...
She gave me every reason to believe
That I've found the one
But I'm done, some how they've sold me out
I'm bruised and scarred.
Save me from this broken heart.
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart.
Someone please, sing this love sick melody.
Call my name if you're afraid...
I'm just a kiss away...
I'm finding out in the hardest way
The consequence of every mistake I've ever made
Baby what's it like to be in love?
(baby what's it like to be in love)
I don't wanna know...
I don't wanna know...
She gave me every reason to believe
That I've found the one
But my damn, some how they've sold me out
I'm bruised and scarred.
Save me from this broken heart.
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart.
Someone please, sing this love sick melody.
Call my name if you're afraid...
I'm just a kiss away...
So baby be honest is this what you wanted?
We left where we started and found out much more than we want to know
About how we're letting go...
So baby be honest is this what you wanted?
We left where we started and found out much more than we want to know
I'm bruised and scarred.
Save me from this broken heart.
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart.
Someone please, sing this love sick melody.
Call my name if you're afraid...
I'm just a kiss away...
6. If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?
Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes.
I'll write a song about it.
But maybe, if the melody's just right,
I hope tonight.
It will find you.
It will remind you.
Now what's holding me back
Is the thought of time we never had.
My world is hanging by the words I bare to say bare to say.
When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time,
You leave me broken.
This song is every word I left.
I spoke it.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.
That you'll think of us...
Baby, I told myself that I'll be fine,
But it's a lie.
I don't wanna talk about it.
Memories, oh they cut like knives
Deep inside I'm falling
Baby, catch me if you can.
What's holding me back,
Is the thought of time we never had.
My world's hanging by three words I can't bare to say.
When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time,
You leave me broken.
This song is every word I left.
I spoke it.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.
When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time,
You leave me broken.
This song is every word I left.
I spoke it.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.
That you'll think of us...
Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes.
7. Save Your Heart
She fell to the bottom of her life.
This wasn't meant for two.
She struggles to find herself in time.
But she can barely move.
Just try and get up.
You've got to slowly brush off.
I know that words aren't enough.
But you're better than this.
Save your heart,
For someone that's worth dying for.
So give it away.
Torn a part,
Never given what you've been crying for.
It's always the same.
She turns the pages every day.
Just to change the mood.
But every chapter reads the same.
So hearts can make it through.
Just try and get up.
You've got to slowly brush off.
I know that words aren't enough.
But you're better than this.
Save your heart,
For someone that's worth dying for.
So give it away.
Torn apart,
Never given what you've been crying for.
It's always the same.
And you give.
And they take.
And it's love that you want.
But not love that you made.
Save your heart,
For someone that's worth dying for.
Don't give it away.
Save your heart,
For someone who leaves you breathless.
And I know that you're scared,
Seems like someone said you had it in in you.
All along you said you knew this was wrong,
But still worth dying for.
Save your heart,
For someone who leaves you breathless.
And I know that you're scared,
Seems like someone said you had it in you.
All along you said you knew this was wrong,
But still worth dying for.
And you give...
And they take...
And it's love that you want.
But not love that you made.
Save your heart
For someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away,
Don't give it away...
8. Get Up
This place is not quite what it seems.
Or anything that I was told it'd be.
New York, you know you make my heart skip.
In my dreams, I make it into Vegas.
Seattle hits me every time.
I can't get Chicago off my mind.
New Jersey taught me how to let go.
And I've learn that's all that I need to know.
In this moment we're connnected.
If we fall, we fall together.
Get up, get up.
Sing it like your screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East Coast, West Coast.
Show me what you got now.
Let's go, let's go.
Get up, get up
Make my heart beat pick up.
Get up, get up.
Beating to the rhythm.
I spill my heart from coast to coast.
Fall in love with everyone I know.
Sometimes it's not where you're going.
It's who you're with.
In this moment we're connnected.
If we fall, we fall together.
Get up, get up.
Sing it like your screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East Coast, West Coast.
Show me what you got now.
Let's go, let's go.
Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East Coast, West Coast.
Show me what you got now.
Let's go, let's go.
Get up, get up
Make my heart beat pick up.
Get up, get up.
Beating to the rhythm.
Get up, get up.
Sing it like your screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East coast, west coast.
Show me what you got now.
Let's go, let's go.
Get up, get up.
Sing it like your screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East Coast, West Coast.
Show me what you got now.
Let's go, let's go.
Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me.
Get up, get up.
I love the way you make it look so easy.
East Coast, West Coast.
Show me what you got now.
9. Center of Attention
Jennifer, the party's over.
I didn't think you'd make it through the night.
Everybody's gone but you're alright.
Sweety now obviously,
You know it's not obvious to me,
Why it's not plain enough to see.
You're falling baby.
I've been waiting.
You took the long way home.
In the dress, it makes me crazy.
I'm not the only one.
It's cold outside.
Keep your heart open wide
Save it for somebody who cares.
Somebody who cares.
Jennifer, the weekend's over.
But, at least you made it through in style.
It was all/just us together after a while.
Tell me baby, is it hard to admit?
Do you remember what you did,
Or where we've been?
You're falling baby.
I've been waiting.
You took the long way home.
In the dress, it makes me crazy.
I'm not the only one.
It's cold outside.
Keep your heart open wide.
Save it for somebody who cares.
You don't have to walk alone tonight.
I don't have to be a gentlemen.
You don't have to say a single word.
Or make believe that we could be just friends.
You're falling baby.
I've been waiting.
You took the long way home.
In the dress, it makes me crazy.
I'm not the only one.
It's cold outside.
Keep your heart open wide.
Save it for somebody who cares.
Somebody who cares.
Somebody who cares.
10. I Swear This Time I Mean It
Oh Florida, please be still tonight,
Don't disturb this love of mine.
Look how she's so serene.
You've got to help me out.
And count the stars to form the lines.
And find the words we'll sing in song.
Wanna keep her dreaming.
It's my one wish, I won't forget this.
I'm outdated, overrated.
Morning seems so far away.
So, I'll sing a melody,
And hope to God she's listening.
Sleeping softly while I sing.
And I'll be your memories,
Your lullaby for all the times.
Hoping that my voice could get it right.
If luck is on my side tonight,
My clumsy tongue will make it right.
And risk the touch, it isn't much,
But it's enough
To form imaginary lines
Forget your scars we'll forget mine
The hours change so fast,
Oh God, please make this last.
I'm outdated, overrated.
Morning seems so far away.
So, I'll sing a melody,
And hope to God she's listening.
Sleeping softly while I sing.
And I'll be your memories,
Your lullaby for all the times.
Hoping that my voice could get it right.
Could get it right.
You could crush me.
Please don't crush me.
Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure.
And I won't let you down.
I swear this time I mean it.
And I'll sing a melody,
And hope to God she's listening.
Sleeping softly while I sing,
And I'll be your memories.
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right.
11. The End
We tried to fight for what we thought that we believed in
Maybe it was all for nothing (I bet that it was all for nothing)
So, we drive cause we like to be alone
There's nowhere for us to go, there's nowhere for us to go
How can you think that any of this was easy?
With all the friends I've lost along the way
When this is over, we're all getting older now
And we don't play a part in it
Innocence is falling
Can you hear them calling now?
But I'll be by your side until the end
We tried to fight against some times you find it's pointless
As long as you can live with yourself (tell me how you live with yourself)
So, it's time we take the open road
There's nowhere for us to go, there's nowhere got us to go
How can you think that any of this was easy?
with all the friends I've lost along the way
When this is over, we're all getting older now.
And we don't a play a part in it
Innocence is falling
Can you hear them calling now?
But I'll be by your side until the end
To all my friends
Let's make this count
We're not alone, not alone
How can you think that any of this was easy?
With all the friends I've lost along the way
When this is over, we're all getting older now
And we don't play a part in it
Innocence is calling
Can you hear them calling?
And I'll be by your side until the end.
