A pretty little picture frame of a “Brokenhearted-Loverboy-Loves-A-Girl" game I never ever felt the same since I let the dirty witch take my heart away But maybe if I never even knew her name, I could find a way to find my heart again And maybe if I told her we should just be friends I’d win And every time I say good night She leaves me thinkin’ everything will be alright Well, she’s singin’ “la da da” ‘Cause she loves to knock me down And she knows I won’t quit her now I’m addicted to the way she’s got my head spinnin’ around, right round Every time that she knocks me down She’s singin’ “la da da da da” A pretty little movie scene of a “Brokenhearted-Loverboy-Loves-A-Girl" dream I never thought that you could be so mean and watch my soul rip at the seams But maybe if I never even knew her name I could find a way to find my heart again And maybe if I told her we should just be friends I’d win And when I go to sleep tonight I know she’ll leave me thinkin’ everything will be alright But I know she’s singin’ “la da da” ‘Cause she loves to knock me down And she knows I won’t quit her now I’m addicted to the way she’s got my head spinnin’ around, right round Every time that she knocks me down She’s singin’ “la da da da da” Well, she’s singin’ “la da da” ‘Cause she loves to knock me down And she knows I won’t quit her now I’m addicted to the way she’s got my head spinnin’ around, right round Every time that she knocks me down She’s singin’ “la da da da da” Whoa, she’s singin’ “la da da” ‘Cause she loves to knock me down And she knows I won’t quit her now I’m addicted to the way that she’s got me spinnin’ around, right round Every time that she knocks me down She’s singin’ “la da da da da” Singin’ “la da da da da” Singin’ “la da da da da”

I wanna be a rock star I wanna shake up the world I’m so damn tired of these hometown girls In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you Well, it was 2010 and I was one year into high school partyin’ with my friends I met this girl and my band really drove her crazy And I haven’t forgot, she was so damn hot But she talked about the future, getting married, and whatnot So one day I said, “Listen, baby” I said I wanna be a rock star I wanna shake up the world I’m so damn tired of these hometown girls In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you Well, she slapped me and yelled, “Honey, go to hell” “You’re never gonna make it, you’re too full of yourself” And ever since then, those words have really driven me crazy It’s just I can’t imagine going all my life without seeing what the foreign girls look like at night Sometimes she asks me to chill, and I'll say “Maybe” I said I wanna be a rock star I wanna shake up the world I’m so damn tired of these hometown girls In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you I say I wanna be a pop star I wanna travel the world Have a one night stand with a cute French girl In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you Because I wanna be It was 2010 and I was one year into high school partyin’ with my friends I met this girl and my band really drove her crazy And I’m singin’ “Whoa, whoa, whoa” I said I wanna be a rock star I wanna shake up the world I’m so damn tired of these hometown girls In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you I say I wanna be a pop star I wanna travel the world Have a one night stand with a cute French girl In my fast car, put on the diamonds and pearls I bought you Because I wanna be a rock star I wanna be a rock star I wanna be a rock star Take those diamonds and pearls Because I wanna be

It was the summer, we were harbor side Too young for the big city nightlife So we partied in my best friend’s ride Went a little too hard, it felt a little too right And I remember those suntan legs That pretty white dress, it drove me insane And the moment that you made me say, “I’ll get you home safe, I’ll make it okay” We made a date with the Charm City skyline We were gonna be alright But now you and I are anything but ordinary And I’m so love drunk that I don’t care And when you’re at a party on the west coast And I’m chasing your ghost I’m wishing I was there Wishin’ I was there The next summer didn’t feel as right Still too young for the promise of a lifetime So you chose to book that flight and broke my heart at the concert that night I didn’t wanna lose you at a Brightside Drive show I hear that song and I feel so alone What happened to the girl I used to know? Now your pretty white dress is lost in the snow We made a date with the Charm City skyline We were gonna be alright But now you and I are anything but ordinary And I’m so love drunk that I don’t care And when you’re at a party on the west coast And I’m chasing your ghost I’m wishing I was there Because you and I are anything but ordinary And I’m so love drunk that I don’t care And when you’re wanting more And I’m still here in Baltimore You’ll be wishin’ I was there Wishin’ I was there

Well, there’s a hill where I sat in the dark A girl in black in the front seat of my car There was diamonds in her eyes and tattoos on her arms I saw them in the moonlight She said, “Boy, don’t ever tell a soul” And I said, “Girl, nobody has to know, just as long as I can get you home a little before midnight” And then she smiled as she took off her disguise And I could see fire burnin’ deep inside her eyes And when she whispered to me, “Why does wrong have to feel so right?” I kinda lost my mind She had me singin’ “La da da la da la da la da la da…” On the hill, sittin’ in the dark The girl in black makin’ moves up in my car There’s diamonds in her eyes and tattoos on her arms I saw them in the streetlight Oh, and the way she swayed to the song on the radio Addicted to her ways, I won’t quit until I overdose She jumped up on the seat and then she jumped on top of me and took me down And when she smiled I could see through her disguise Right into the fire burnin’ deep inside her eyes And when she whispered to me, “Why does wrong have to feel so right?” I think I lost my mind And then she took a breathe and leaned in for the kiss And I could taste the fire that ignited on her lips And when she whispered to me, “Now, babe, it’s never felt like this” It’s never felt like this She had me singin’ “La da da la da la da la da la da…” She said, “Boy, don’t ever tell a soul” And I said, “Girl, I swear he’ll never know just as long as I can get you home a little before midnight” And then she gave me that look and she leaned in for the kiss And I could taste the fire that ignited on her lips And when she whispered to me, “Now, babe, it’s never felt like this” It’s never felt like this And then she screamed and I was drownin’ in the sin And I was burned by the fire that ignited on her skin And when she whispered to me, “Now, babe, it’s never felt like this” It’s never felt like this Now we’re singin’ “La da da la da la da la da la da…”

Back then you had no problem givin’ me up for someone else’s boyfriend And I said, do you remember what I said? That someday I would be laughin’ And I know that you’ll be at my show when you hear my band playin’ on the radio Front row ‘cause you think I haven’t figured you out Baby, don’t kiss me, I know you miss me And I never thought I’d throw you away But honey, you dissed me, and now you’re sorry Well, it took everything to hide my pain And now I wanna break your little heart and watch you cryin’ in the rain Do me a favor and get the hell away Back then, I was just a loser kid when you told me all about your new boyfriend And I said, do you remember what I said? And now baby look at who’s laughin’ And you’ll see, you’ll be weak at the knees When you see my band playin’ on your television screen It’s my scene, and you’re gonna get lost in the clouds As I wave to the crowd Baby, don’t kiss me, I know you miss me And I never thought I’d throw you away But honey, you dissed me, and now you’re sorry Well, it took everything to hide my pain And now I wanna break your little heart and watch you cryin’ in the rain Do me a favor and get the hell away Baby, don’t kiss me, I know you miss me But it’s time that I told you the truth You know that you dissed me and I’m not sorry ‘cause the truth is I’m too good for you Baby, don’t kiss me, I know you miss me And I never thought I’d throw you away But honey, you dissed me, and now you’re sorry Well, it took everything to hide my pain Baby, don’t kiss me, I know that you miss me (I know that you’ll be at my show when you hear my band playin’ on the radio) But, honey, I really can’t stand that face (Front row ‘cause you think I haven’t figured you out) And ever since you dissed me I know you’ve been sorry But, sweetie, I’m oh so over the pain And now I wanna take that little heart of yours and throw it in the rain Do me a favor and get the fuck away

The doctors can’t figure out what’s wrong with me My body’s on fire and I can’t breathe It’s been this way for a little over two weeks That’s when you came to me in a summer dream And the pills that they gave me aren’t doin’ anything And I haven’t had much luck with the remedies Baby, there’s a bomb tickin’ deep in my heart You went and set it off and covered up my older scars Girl, they found your name cut deep in my bones I’m never gonna let it go I’m never gonna let it go I can’t sleep, there’s a fire in my head burnin’ holes through my chest the moment that we met You put a bomb somewhere deep inside my heart And now you went and set it off The doctors said they’d send me to therapy To open up my mind and see what I see They found a picture of you makin’ love to me Somewhere in a drunken haze of a summer dream And the side effects of the pills, they aren’t helpin’ anything And the doctors don’t even know that you’re the remedy Girl, you went and set it off Baby, there’s a bomb tickin’ deep in my heart Baby, there’s a bomb tickin’ deep in my heart You went and set it off and covered up my older scars Girl, they found your name cut deep in my bones I’m never gonna let it go I’m never gonna let it go I can’t sleep, there’s a fire in my head burnin’ holes through my chest the moment that we met You put a bomb somewhere deep inside my heart And now you went and set it off

I dreamt of you last night, my dear I’m so sorry, and I know I promised you I wouldn’t I said I’d let it go But what you told me in my dream made me smile as I slept And you reminded me of all the things I can’t forget Like all those summer nights when we were layin’ in the dark Cuddled up between my sheets, your head pressed to my heart Sometimes I still taste the vodka that was dancin’ on your lips the first time that we kissed Oh, and I’d give anything if I could turn back time And study all those little things that made you fall in love with me And maybe then I could make you fall for me again And if you think of me, my dear, write a letter, let me know Tell me about those fantasies where you never let me go And if I see you in your dream, I hope it’s the day we met So I can relive all those memories I can’t forget Do you remember all those days wearin’ sweatpants on my couch? Cuddled in between the cushions with no intent on goin’ out And I swear I still taste the whiskey that was leanin’ on your lips the last time that we kissed Oh, and I’d give anything if I could turn back time And study all those little things that made you fall in love with me And maybe then I could make you fall for me again Well, I Well, I’m hopin’ girl, I’m hopin’ if you try And study all those little things that made you fall in love with me And maybe then I could make you fall for me again And I’ve been dreamin’ ‘bout the plans you made with me Oh, and I’ve been havin’ visions of those freckles on your cheeks So, if you ask me ‘bout the things I know I can’t let go Well, I’ll tell you what I miss the most It’s all those summer nights layin’ in the dark In between my sheets, your head pressed to my heart And I swear I still taste the vodka that was dancin’ on your lips the first time that we kissed Oh, and I’d give anything if I could turn back time And study all those little things that made you fall in love with me And maybe then I could make you fall for me again Well, I Well, I’m hopin’ girl, I’m hopin’ if you try And study all those little things that made you fall in love with me And maybe then I could make you fall for me again

At work on a Monday night She turns around and I’m like, “Gotta give a wink and little half smile to the girl with the eyes that could make my night” She’s stuck in her own little world She knows she’s just that kind of girl She can use me anytime she likes I can never resist when she comes on like, “I’m parked right outside and I’m feelin’ a little lonely tonight” Let’s go crazy Meet me in the back seat Put your arms around me And show me what heaven’s like Girl, you can shake me Push me, pull me, take me You can call me “Baby” To let me know you’re mine But only for tonight At work on a Wednesday night She turns around I’m like, “Maybe I should try to resist her eyes, she’s the girl with the agenda that could break my night” She’s stuck in her own little world and I know she’s just that kind of girl She can make me do what she likes I can never resist when she comes on like, “I’m a little lonely tonight” Goddamn, girl, I hate it when you do this shit Textin' me the next day with a fresh plate of all this stupid shit And I ain't even had breakfast Give me a little peace, don't bother me just ‘cause I checked you off the checklist And I know I sound reckless and restless But honestly, I'm probably just a replacement for your ex’s Don’t be expectin’ a bracelet or a necklace Just face it, complacent, can’t take it for another second And, yes, I'm still the same asshole as last week Keep yellin' at ya 'til your voice is raspy, then act sweet And last week was our last meet But if you're down to go, why don't you meet me in the back seat? Let’s go crazy Meet me in the back seat Put your arms around me And show me what heaven’s like Girl, you can shake me Push me, pull me, take me You can call me “Baby” To let me know you’re mine But only for tonight Only for tonight Only for tonight Only for tonight

Well, there’s a string of lights in my room that remind of you A different color for every little thing that you do The smell of my sheets, I haven’t washed ‘em in weeks Tricks me into thinkin’ that you’re lyin’ to me But I broke it off cold, I was sure I was sold But your eyes insist on holdin’ on to my heart strings, baby They’ve been playin’ me and takin’ me down Well, you can call me a hypocrite But, girl, I’m starting to lose it Oh, I’m gonna lose my mind Because you and I aren’t logical, oh, it’s kinda tragic But when you and I get physical, oh, some kind of magic takes over my soul, I lose all control, the bad things feel good too I bet there’s a fish in the sea who’s better for me, that’s true But the one I wanna catch is you I said, the one I wanna catch is you There’s a little box in my drawer that holds a few things of yours Sometimes I take it out and spread ‘em out on the floor I found a picture of us Dammit, we were in love Starts to make me think about the things I gave up And now everybody knows that I can’t let go ‘Cause your smile insists on holdin’ on to my loveline, baby I know you know you’re takin’ me down Well, you can say you’re over it But, girl, I’m not that stupid Oh, I know you’re losin’ your mind Because you and I aren’t logical, oh, it’s kinda tragic But when you and I get physical, oh, some kind of magic takes over my soul, I lose all control, the bad things feel good too I bet there’s a fish in the sea who’s better for me, that’s true But the one I wanna catch is you I said, the one I wanna catch is you And at night, in my dreams, you’re still laughin’ here with me Jokin’ about all the things I know that we could be Well, love is never easy; sometimes it tears you apart But, this time, I broke my own heart And you and I aren’t logical, oh, it’s so damn tragic But, we We’re never meant disposable, oh, I’m waitin’ for the magic to take over my soul, I lose all control, I want all the bad things too Forget all the fish in the sea, no one’s better for me than you Because you and I aren’t logical, oh, it’s kinda tragic But when you and I get emotional, oh, some kind of magic takes over my soul, I lose all control, I want all the bad things too I bet there’s a fish in the sea who’s better for me, that’s true But the one I wanna catch is you I said, the one I wanna catch is you

Getting lost in your brown eyes Underneath the blue skies Skating on the river so wide I remember those long days wasting my summer away With you here by my side By my side And baby, we, we’re alright With you here by my side But then the colder winds of September rolled in And you told I’d never see my love again So I said Tell me, baby, was it really worth it? Do you take pride in playing God? I thought you were in love Do you think what you’re doin’ is perfect? Oh, I thought you were the one But now my heart’s lost in someone else’s bed And that’s as good as it’s gonna get Without my Juliet Getting lost in the long nights Dancing in the moonlight Skating on the river so wide I remember those long days wasting my winter away With you here by my side By my side And baby, we, we’re alright With you here by my side But then the warmer winds of April rolled in And you told me I’d never see my love again So I said Tell me, baby, was it really worth it? Do you take pride in playing God? I thought you were in love Do you think what you’re doin’ is perfect? Oh, I thought you were the one But now my heart’s lost with nowhere else to go And that is all that I’m ever gonna know Without my Romeo

Soft, I kiss her on the cheek She returns the favor, spins her head and kisses me She’s cute, she’s my princess, she’s my queen What does she think of me? What does she think of me? It’s the way she drives me wild I think I’m fallin’ for your smile Fallin’ for your eyes Fallin’ for your lack of a disguise I think I’m passin’ just a fling because you make me sing And girl, I think I’m fallin’ for your everything Twisted, tied up in her eyes Her beautiful brown eyes, they keep me hypnotized She’s cute, she’s my future, she’s my dream What does she think of me? What does she think of me? It’s the way she keeps me high I think I’m fallin’ for your smile Fallin’ for your eyes Fallin’ for your lack of a disguise I think I’m passin’ just a fling because you make me sing And girl, I think I’m fallin’ for your everything And even though I know things are gonna change I will always remember you, the memories remain I think I’m fallin’ for your smile Fallin’ for your eyes Fallin’ for your lack of a disguise I think I’m passin’ just a fling because you make me sing And girl, I think I’m fallin’ for your everything I think I’m fallin’ for your smile Fallin’ for your eyes Fallin’ for your lack of a disguise I think I’m passin’ just a fling because you make me sing And girl, I think I’m fallin’ for your everything I think I’m fallin’ for your everything
