Whine Whine Whine...

What I need tonight is someone to hold me while I cry and lie to me, telling me it's all going to be okay.

Yeah, I Knew That One Was Coming...

feels like reckless driving when we're talking
it's fun while it lasts and it's faster than walking
but no one is going to sympathize when we crash
they'll say you hit what you head for

we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us
and the next just sky
