There's blood in my mouth and my heart's on my sleeve I've seen some things that you wouldn't believe Blue Nunn and pedicabs at half past five There's teeth on the ground and my knuckles bruised I've been used up spat out and abused Old Style and whiskey and a thirty dollar fine we came to party here we go we came to party never going home we came to party so we're not all alone There's smoke in my lungs as my face hits dirt I think I'm wearing someone else's shirt Bulleit and a boilermaker double time There's egg on my face and my brain's a mess This whole song is fiction i confess I pay my bills and I'm doing fine we came to party here we go we came to party never going home we came to party so we're not all alone

i remember you in that burger king uniform i remember you and your punk rock hairdo i remember you hanging in the parking lot never knowing just what to do sometimes i regret those chocies that i didn't make sometimes i regret giving you that mixtape but that's done i wouldn't trade my life for anything if i saw you again would you know my name? i remember you in the basement of your parents house i remember you with your sunglasses on i remember you hanging out in the theater i'd look for you but then you were gone sometimes i regret those chocies that i didn't make sometimes i regret giving you that mixtape but that's done i wouldn't trade my life for anything if i saw you again would you know my name?

a conversation with Jesus Christ San Antonio, the dead of the night talkin about his one sacred vice and all the hotel bars he's unwelcome in complications of your hopscotch memory how many left in its place how many still remain the enemy it's less than those returning to your side your a storm-weathered day i've got a half-written phrase it's a long forgotten grace to get back where these veins align gonna fade out before they burn hearts race with every faded word always expected more than i deserved but i talk just like the circles around my wrist i could hang on till i'm dead to all these books i never read and the lies in my head i've held upon for the sake of quiet conversations with jesus christ about the failures in both our lives revealed during his third whiskey and sprite that miracles become water once again it's an easy way to stay but some minutes last for days and all i ever wanted was your hand on top of mine

I don't wanna be an over night sensation i don't wanna be the thing that gets you high i don't wanna be an sticky situation i just wanna be the apple of your eye i don't wanna be useless information i don't wanna be burn out like a fire I don't wanna be an over night sensation i just wanna live until i die and they say don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to do that dance don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to take that chance I don't wanna be an over night sensation i don't wanna do the thing that gets you by i don't wanna be the stupid situation i don't wanna be the apple of your eye i don't wanna have a messup information i don't wanna burn out like a tire i don't wanna be the overnight sensation i just wanna sing till i retire and they say don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to do that dance don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to take that chance don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to do that dance don't go jason waterfalls i'm begging you to take that chance take a chance
