Opener lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
You told me, "Don't you look at the sun"
"It burns your eyes out"
I disobeyed and seen the man
Who's going nowhere
Convince me this
You don't got to worry
You're on your feet
Please help me down
I brainstormed and caught up with my friend
He's doing fine now
It's been uplifting
Knowing you are
How sad, so sad
I beg him this
May he mind not worry
To break this chord of a paranoia
And there's no anecdote for a petty love
I think you found the lighter side
Of our friendly hope
I don't mean to poke
We can face obvious nonsense
77 Satellites lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
It's alright to be held back by retro-man
It's far fetched fun when you're the one
The prize
I knew you would come through
I thought I could be right, number one
But it's alright
It's televised in forest green
It's been brought back by retro-man
Hold your thoughts in
It ain't yet over
You won't slide under me
The prize
I knew you would come through
I thought I could be right, number one
But it's a lie
What Would I Say To You Now lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Still sitting there with your legs crossed
Not paying attention to me
If we talk, just curious, would this end up like it always does?
All the wrong I've done
All the wrong I'll do
Keeps me from trying
It keeps me quiet
Throw out your arms to each side
It's easier to let things go
When we talk think what we say: there's questions then silence and
In silence we remain
All the wrong I've done
And all the wrong I'll do
It keeps me from trying
Keeps me from calling you
Something I just found out
Something you know by now
Hope makes you so strong
Strength keeps you alone and far away
Speed Read lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Save the wrapping for another
Dressing doesn't mean a thing to me
Submission for a ladder rung
You decide what you're used for
You decide
I know what you are, what you are
I see clearly what you are, what you are
Spangle lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I'm glad you found the time to ring
I just spent all day waiting
I need to know what's happening
Well at least we both agree
Really don't know where to start
Did you say you met some neighbor
I guess I'm headed for a broken heart
Why are you doing this to me?
It's so clear
I can hear, and I'm not gonna share you with no one
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye
How long have you had this planned?
Guess it shows how much you care
Now I understand how I just played the fool
Sure I'm gonna let you go
I was wrong to ever trust you
Don't think that you'll ever know how you could be so cruel
It's so clear
I can hear, and I'm not gonna share you with no one
Surprise, I've got eyes, now goodbye
H Model lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
"Straight outta Phoenix boys"
Stay up late and listen in
Trading insult for your time
It breaks my heart in half to see her jumping up and down screaming:
"Cash in honey, cash in now"
Lift your hands up slow
If only you could see yourself
Everything you are imitate and water down
If just because you'll never have your politics with perfect means
Doesn't mean you talk the round and round
Forsdale's syringe is wearing so thin
Lift your hands up slow
If only you could see yourself
Everything we are imitate and water down
They'll never know your world no matter how they try
It's your world
Never know, they'll never know your world
(It's above us)
Christmas Card lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Hey still staring little girl
Are you looking at or past me?
Worry
Simple symptoms won't leave you this underweight or red in the eyes
No more rules, the ones we make don't last the night
So pick up the pieces
Start again, start over Tuesday morning
Conscience clean
This card, postmarked December 23
The caption reads, "How does he do it?"
Ms. too bad he treats me like I'm dead
Nothing works to make this easy
No more lies
The ones we live will work just fine
So pick up the pieces
Start again, start over Tuesday morning
Conscience clean, alone
I hope you figure out what it is you want
Untitled lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Porch light alone as you stepped out
You stepped out
It made a silhouette of your head, then you walked down
Carbon Scoring lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Here we go
(My only cold I fought)
Here I am, frozen in time I find a way from you, pave the way
And because I can't stand still they'll leave you down and out
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back
Tell me now, I need to know how long
Clear the way
Don't make me wait all day
With you, from you, pave my way
And because I can't stand still, they'll leave you down and out
And when your face gets here I'll stab you in the back
It's a long way home
Can't you find your way?
I'm a trampoline
Lift me up over Fahrenheit
I'm a trampoline
I
Digits lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Pay attention
Stop paying for regret
Fossil resources all used up
Make the best use of your time
You could be on to something
Too skeptic, too tired to care
When they all seem to know at once
Sweet muse left me all alone
There's only my weight left
Euthanasia could be the greatest gift
It's all the same
So let me know
It's never changed
So let it go
(Wait outside your house to come back out)
It's all the same
So let it go
It's just what you
Save the long car ride home
Don't leave your house today
Nothing lost but still nothing gained
No possibilities
All wasted, world gone under
Life means I hear my ears ring one more day
And you will see it through at once
Sweet muse, she won't be around today
Things that I could not say
Are we through yet?
Are you gone yet?
You're on and off
Phase in, phase out
Cross your heart
Crash, burn and fall
Under cushions hide the change
So no one knows
Just be careful who you tell
I really want to care when you say, "I'll change that."
I just don't feel a thing when you say, "We'll get there, someday."
The Most Beautiful Things lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
You say the most beautiful things
An endless list of treasures of trimmings
It takes all my faith just to start
I don't care now how much I'm wrong
(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything
My song it shames your ears
Every sentence a failure
Slant rhyme is all I can give
Half truth is all I'll get
(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything
Oh, lie to me
Oh, love me
(We'll run, we'll run) Show us all what grace can mean
(We'll run, we'll run) All of what I might be
(We'll run, we'll run) Close your eyes call it escape
(We'll run, we'll run) We'll run away from everything
Cautioners lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
The time I would spend
With pictures I would not send
I watched you go from left to right
I followed you all night
Across my blinds
You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me
I'm making my peace
I'm making it with distance
Maybe that's a big mistake
You know I'm thinking of you
I miss you
You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me
You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
You'll take your steps away with hesitance
You'll take your steps away from me
Table For Glasses lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Sweep the dirty stairs
The ones I waited on
This is just for me
I felt it watching her
And it happened too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
It happened too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
Where do you intend to go
With your dirty dress?
Lead my skeptic sight
To the table and the light
It happened too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
It happened too fast
To make sense of it, make it last
Lead my skeptic sight
Lead my skeptic sight
Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
What I should feel
Not asking of me anything
Saying nothing about what it means
Without anybody telling me
What I should feel
What I should feel
Lead my skeptic sight
To the table and the light
Lucky Denver Mint lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
This time it's on my own
Minutes from somewhere else
Somewhere I made a wish
With Lucky Denver Mint
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Hurry, go on ahead
Good things won't let you wait
I'll catch up when we get home
At home I'll leave, a dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Why can't I learn?
Why can't I learn?
Learn, learn, learn
Learn, learn, learn
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
You're not bigger than this, not better
Why can't you learn?
Your New Aesthetic lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
We're lowering the standard in a process selective
The formula's too thin
But it takes more than one person
So everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Before the crash, I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
Let selection kill the old
(Take back the radio)
I remember back then thinking
Easy comes but doesn't stay
What comes easy never stays
But the politics need means
And business never leaves
You better sing now while you can
(Better sing now while you still can)
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Until we crash, I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
Let selection kill the old
(Take back the radio)
Sing now while you can, while you can
Sing now while you can, while you can
Imitate and water down
(Selection breathes on its own)
Until I crash, I'll write it out
(Selection breathes on its own)
Make them open the request line
Let selection kill the old
(Turn off the radio)
But it takes more than one person
So everyone jump on
I'll miss you when you're just like them
Believe In What You Want lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Well, don't bother going through your motions
Nothing that makes sense ever works out
And don't kid yourself, you know they want money
Well, nothing can be good on its own, it's just a merit
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
Put your trust in simple acts
Make the fliers, get them up all over town
And don't kid yourself, you know it's for money
Well, please keep in sight what makes you care, you have it always
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
Your camera flash (Your camera flash)
On us, meaningless (On us, meaningless)
Your camera flash (Your camera flash)
On us, meaningless
You cannot waste a single night
What you ignore is priceless to me – to me!
Spinning and spinning
Do you believe in what you want?
Dancing in plastic, shake-up snow
Do you believe in what you want?
A Sunday lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
On a Sunday, I'll think it through
On the drive back, I'll think it through
What you wish for won't come true
Live with that – with that
And on a Sunday, she thought it through
Now as I drive back, there's thirty-six less hours
I have to change the course I send myself
I gotta live with that – with that
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
On a Sunday, go once around
'Cause when the ride's done, the hopes that you have carried
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that – with that
They fall out from your hands back to the ground
Live with that – with that
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Learn as the drugs leave
Learn as you lose it
You will
And the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
The haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
Yeah, the haze clears from your eyes on a Sunday
On a Sunday
On a Sunday
Crush lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Faintest snow keep falling
Hands around your waist
Nameless, standing cold
Standing cold
Like a breath
Like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
Walk close to the fence
Feel it hit your clothes
Turn and smile nice
Smile, say goodnight
Say goodnight
In a breath
In a breath
Simple discourse breaks you clean
Simple discourse breaks you clean in half
Regret
Do try it once and then you know
It's your move
Settle for nothing less again
Like a breath
Like a breath
Like a breath
Like a breath
Take in restraint like a breath
My lungs are so numb from holding back
Yeah, from holding back
12.23.95 lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I didn't mean to leave you hanging on
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to say
[Repeat]
Merry Christmas, baby
(Merry Christmas, baby)
Merry Christmas, baby
(Merry Christmas, baby)
Merry Christmas, baby
(Merry Christmas, baby)
Merry Christmas
Ten lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
We left behind the busy crowd
So it seems we slow down
Meet me with a way out through the lies
Nowhere, going nowhere in the fake yellow light
Blame no one
Blame no one
The feelings change so fast
Safety scares them away
I can't bring myself to say it
It's my own advice I need
Nowhere and then nowhere
Living trapped inside the chase
Blame no one
(So blame) blame no one
(Could you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one
Blame no one
Our weakness is the same
We need poison sometimes
Our weakness is the same
We need poison sometimes
So take another drink with me
(So blame) blame no one
Blame no one
(Could you look in my eyes and)
Blame no one
Blame no one
Just Watch The Fireworks lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Here, you can be anything
And I think that scares you
I think that scares you
Here, I've been here before
But only by myself
Myself
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
What giving up gives you
And where giving up takes you
I've had and I've been
Here, in center frame
Here, there's only air
And just enough space to fit
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but what do I know?
Said, said, said it out loud over and over
Yeah
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help
I'll stop now
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as late as it takes
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I promised I'd see it again
I promised I'd see this with you now
I said, said, said it out loud over and over
Said, said, said it out loud, but it did not help
I'll stop now
Just enough so I can hear you
I'll stay up as long as it takes
I'll stay up as late as it takes
I'll stay up as late as it takes
As late as it takes
As late as it takes
As long as it takes, takes, takes
I'll stay up as late as it takes
As long as it takes
For Me This Is Heaven lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
The first star I see may not be a star
We can't do a thing but wait
So let's wait for one more
And the time, such clumsy time
In deciding if it's time
I'm careful but not sure how it goes
You can lose yourself in your courage
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
And the mindless comfort grows
When I'm alone with my great plans
And this is what she said gets her through it
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?
If not now, when?"
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
I close my eyes and believe
Wherever you are, an angel for me
When the time we have now ends
When the big hand goes round again
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Blister lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
"Take advantage of these times," you said
You let me down, it hasn't been the first time
As I'm falling in the pit of fire
My mind's made up: I'm never coming back here
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
Is it just a coincidence
To see you by yourself with no direction?
Now it's time to move on
And don't you know that things aren't getting better?
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
When the world caves in what are you going to do?
When the world caves in what are you going to do for me?
When the world caves in what are you going to do?
When the world caves in what are you going to do for me?
Don't try and stop me because I'm falling fast
Into this pit of fire which surrounds us all
In a blanket of fear that I've been wrapped in for years
Don't try and stop me, you can't stop me
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
And how long would it take me
To walk across the United States all alone?
The west coast has been traumatized
And I think I'm the only one still alive
Clarity lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I'll take your words as if you were talking to me
So say what I know you'll say
Say it through your teeth
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
And with pride, keep every failure in
And with pride, hold on to your sinking
Now in the deep and down, your heart moves
Now in the deep and down
I don't know how, but I know I want out
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something better?
I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means us
Wait for something better
Will I know when it can be us?
Wait for something better
Maybe that doesn't mean us
Wait for something good?
No, I shouldn't, it's not enough
Pull one excuse from another
This time it means stop
Goodbye Sky Harbor lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest?
(How could you know just what you did?)
Like all the rest
(How could you know just what you did?)
So full of faith, yet full of doubt
I ask again
I shall ask you this once again
He said
"I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
Time and time again you said, "Don't be afraid."
(If you believe, then you can do it)
"Don't be afraid."
If you believe, then you can do it
The only voice I want to hear is yours
Again
I shall ask you this once again
And again
He said
"I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall
You are smaller, getting smaller
But I still see you
Thinking, That's All lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Play your hand
Don't play it off
Don't play that game
Out of touch
There is no pride in seconds lost
First cello suite
I know I'm late
What do you care?
Stop dragging feet
We can't go back for seconds lost
Drive by, don't stop
Drive by, don't stop
Hate wins, don't stop
Hate wins, don't stop
Smooth the sheets
No one was here and never will
Wind your watch for seconds gone
Drive by, don't stop
Drive by, don't stop
Hate wins, don't stop
Hate wins, don't stop
Guilt won't let you because you let it
Because you lost
Rockstar lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Where you're hiding, the shine off the wall
Stop giving it up now cause you're gonna find yourself a mastermind in time
Rockstar, what's mine is yours
Rockstar, you're looking good
You're looking to find a fight
I'm the stranger here you know
Can't you understand that things always work out my way today
Rockstar, what's mine is yours
Rockstar, you're looking good
You're looking to find a fight
Rockstar. Rockstar
Get off my battlefield
You could not take it back from me
It's all the way up top
Cannot take a longer way
Get off my battlefield
Could not take it back from you
It's all the way up top
Cannot take a longer way
That's all
It's all
Can't fall away
Back
Claire lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
One chance to show your face
This one shot all you get
Pass by your one good thing
Lift your head back, shoot and chase
Never hear you laugh like that, so full
Not since you were nine
Unsettled, severing
Always severing old ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life
Learn your restricted ropes
Paint a cross on your left hand
One good thing signed away
And with it, your only hope
Attention focused on today
So quiet, slip behind my back
Unsettled, severing
Always severing dead ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life
One-way trip can work both ways
Loose ends kept untied make better friends
The things you buy may someday leave you
Can you say full ride?
(I still see you)
Can you say?
(I still see you)
Can you say full ride?
(I can still see you around)
Can you say?
(Around)
Call It In The Air lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Leave home today
Escape your region
It's in your head
Keep moving on
Choose starlight, no way to retrace
(No way to retrace all your good days, add them up)
It is gone
Choose star bright, no way to retrace
(None of you knew any more than who's in here)
It is gone
Become your dad
Live unquestioned
It's in your head
Nostalgia's dead
Choose starlight, no way to retrace
(No way to retrace all your good days, add them up)
It is gone
Choose star bright, no way to retrace
(None of you knew any more than who's in here)
It is gone
Starlight, star bright
Starlight, star bright
Can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands
Won't accept an honest answer from an open hand
Can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands
(Say the words and I sign off)
Won't accept an honest answer from an open hand
(Say the words and I sign off)
Starlight, star bright
Starlight, star bright
Seventeen lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
It's harder than it seems
You slip but never fall
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
Tearing down what we built up so well
Laying low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Going off when there's nothing wrong
It's only in your dreams
But it felt like it was real
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
Hang loose, my friend
Don't walk away from me
'Cause I really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
(You need to find yourself)
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
(You need to find yourself)
Episode IV lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Episode IV leads us away from here
Don't expect to find what you're looking to
I can see the light leading away from you
Let's disappear
We'll take a trip of no return to outer space
And swim in pools which keep us warm
Cleaned off the sand from off your feet
We'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked
And sing off-key, thinking it sounds all right
And you know, I almost lost my will to live
(We're sure) you tell time in your
Episode IV leads us away from here
Don't expect to find what you're looking to
Let's disappear
We'll take a trip of no return to outer space
And swim in pools which keep us warm
Cleaned off the sand from off your feet
We'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked
And sing off-key, thinking it sounds all right
And you know, I almost lost my will to live
(We'll show) and tell time one more time
And you know, I almost lost my will to live
(We'll show) and tell time to your friends
Digits lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Pay attention
Stop paying for regret
Fossil resources all used up
Make the best use of your time
You could be on to something
Too skeptic, too tired to care
When they all seem to know at once
Sweet muse left me all alone
There's only my weight left
Euthanasia could be the greatest gift
It's all the same
So let me know
It's never changed
So let it go
(Wait outside your house to come back out)
It's all the same
So let it go
It's just what you
Save the long car ride home
Don't leave your house today
Nothing lost but still nothing gained
No possibilities
All wasted, world gone under
Life means I hear my ears ring one more day
And you will see it through at once
Sweet muse, she won't be around today

Are we through yet?
Are you gone yet?

Caveman lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
A monster lives in your backyard
The 2x4s are making their way around
The big get bigger when the fight's done
I found that secret door
A man with a shovel's going to dig deep down
To find out where it feeds
A house
A catalog full of nothing good
The white house ponders no remorse
The big get bigger when the fight's done
I found that secret door
A man with a shovel's going to dig deep down
To find out where it feeds
A house
It seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands
It's in your name
It's in your face
I'm wrong again
World Is Static lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
The longest time away
Last time, the friends we made
Longest time away
Best friend's too cheap to stay
Of course I'll go with you
Not every day I get to
Of course I'll stay with you
How often?
Pictures tell so much
They remind me often
Your voice brings back so much
Situations
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
Between the money and your every move
(We both know things never change)
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
(We both know static prevails)
Between the money and your every move
The longest time away
The longest time away
The longest time away
My friend
Pictures tell so much
They remind me often
Your voice brings back so much
Situations
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
Between the money and your every move
(Take a seat at your request)
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
(Five years, I'm still there)
Between the money and your every move
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
(We both know things never change)
(Take a seat at your request)
Between the money and your every move
(Five years, I'm still there)
(We both know static prevails)
Between the money and your every move, acceptance
(Take a seat at your request)
(We both know things never change)
Between the money and your every move
(Five years, I'm still there)
(We both know static prevails)
In The Same Room lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
You always wrote for me, ego
Risk worth taking, risk worth leaving
Seems I'm still afraid of promise
To promise
Too big to stop
Too big to hold down
Trade up for the fast ride
Trade your friends
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Pulling your teeth, you push away
Cancel plans, cancel them all
Check your breath for cold and hold on
Please hold on
No pictures left to burn goodbye to
The smell of ash and white walls blank
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Horizontal lines and button-up
Horizontal lines and button-up
Fingers in
Listen what voices say
The drawers of paper all say one thing
Like music boxes custom-made
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Robot Factory lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Falling off this cycle
And it really ticks me off
When you calculate this time and place
Looking over shoulders
Can always be like what it seems
When you were left to my old man
I am why you bred me here
Tear these clothes down when we fight
Back around these towers
Like something you don't wanna see
Like yesterday, when you were found
Adding up misfortunes can always seem like holidays
When you were sent to be the one
I am why you bred me here
Tear these clothes down when we fight
It's over, they found me, they made me
I can't believe they knew it, we blew it
Our fortunes, they've been retrieved
By humans who knew me
They used me to get what's mine
They'll never replace me
I'll be back, I want revenge
It's over, they found me, they beat me
I can't believe they knew it, we blew it
Our fortunes, they've been retrieved
By humans who knew me
They used me to get what's mine
They'll never replace me
I'll be back, I want revenge
Anderson Mesa lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Don't leave without intentions
Don't leave without intentions
Mind's made up, my own decision
Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back
Don't leave without intentions
Don't leave without intentions
Mind's made up, my own decision
Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted
Alone, I'm outside
Red sky, I wait there
Snowfall above me
So new, yet fading
Alone, I'm outside
Red sky, I wait there
Snowfall above me
So new, yet fading
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, you'll ask them
Vacation, you'd take them
If you wanted, if you wanted
Run around or jump the fence
Graveyard
Run around or jump the
Look At You lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
My oh my, can you save my life?
It doesn't have to mean looking out for me
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time
There's no room for Mamacita
No room for Mamacita
Sit tight she said
A OK and that's what she'll say
While falling on the ground, leaves in her hair
Hey now look at you, way cool, on time
There's no room for Mamacita
No room for Mamacita
Indecent Exposure lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
"Ha, caught you in the act you disciples of dirtiness
Officers arrest these naked people now"
You've seen mine
I've seen yours
I've got no toilet but I cannot go outside
Turn your fingers right off
Cross your heart now spin and fall
Haven't you got any passion at all?
We're the same, human rain
Here is the guide to get you through this town
Can't see the mustard anymore
Lying on your back, down on the floor
Sentiment of old is gone away [?] is here to stay
My right to take a pee, it's not the way it used to be
Seen mine, seen yours
What's wrong?
It's not the way it used to be
What's my punishment going to be?
Decapitation of my trick?
It's always the same
It's always the same
Sure don't have any room today
Yeah a time about a week ago
All your pictures in righteousness
Tell me does the one stop now?
My right to take a pee it's not the way it used to be
Seen mine, seen yours
What's wrong?
It's not the way it used to be
Angst For Joel lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Is this promenade a musician?
And all that man can do is always compare original?
Doesn't matter what I say all I know is I got it in me
And why do all the other records sound the same?
And I can stay right here
And I ain't going off to pee
But you won't hear one word I say
No you're not listening
So what I'm doing nothing here
This time I'll play when the talented people don't show up
If I don't got nothing good to say
So then why say it?
And I can stay right here
And I ain't going off to pee
But you won't hear one word I say
Shut up and say
"Yeah. I thought the punk scene was about unity
And creating an atmosphere of uh think for yourself
Do what you want and not care about what other people thought about you
It's not about creating cliques and trying to take what punk is
Punk is what you want it to be
It's about what anybody wants it to be
It's about what you control it should be
Punk's what you think it is."
I'm just standing here and people doing philosophy
And it won't make one total difference on penny royalties

Chachi lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Take me clear up, toss me off
The tower that is 40 stories tall
So I'm plastered to the floor
I must confess, I'm not impressed
With your everlasting line
Take draw, take a look, now
Watch me melt from a man into a boy
And I'm always on the honor society
With everything and anything around
But no attention drawn
Make me, I'm just curious
How and why we shouldn't be amazed
(So don't ask why)
Tucked in slick back heart attack
Yet no one seems to care
Take me clear up, toss me off
The tower that is 40 stories tall
So I'm plastered to the floor
I must confess, I'm not impressed
With your everlasting line
Seen expiration come to effect ventilation
Make me sweet thing
(So don't ask why)
Goodbye
Patches lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I'm not worried about my life, it's too big
Carpet stains on the ground and I think
I've found a way out downstairs turn around
Wake me, take me up upside down
Head down, lay down
No one is ever around when I need them most
Ricochet, right now
I'm not worried about my life, it's too big
Carpet stains on the ground and I thought I found a way out
Downstairs turn around
Wake me, take me up upside down
Hands down, lay down
No one is ever around when I need them most
Ricochet ricochet, right now
Amphibious lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I got lonely and 32 times whose been in jail
I love stealing, I love feeling watched by you
And I will never go down downtown
And I will always have my head held down
Can see it in your eyes, everything's on fire
I think I did it
What you looking at?
They'll kick the gas
It's not a game
Dirty dirty dirty dirty me you'll see
Can't be always looking behind my back, it's a trap
And I will never go down downtown
And I will always have my head held down
Can see it in your eyes, everything's on fire
I think I did it
What you looking at?
He'll kick the gas
It's not a game
And I will never go down downtown
And I will always have my head held down
Splat Out Of Luck lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
My intentions are growing but going nowhere
Going nowhere near here
Seen it all once
But lost it inside of something been pulled over my heart
And you think you've seen it all
But you wonder where I go
I've been growing right side of wrong
It's too late
You're too late
What happens in my question
Am I just splat out, splat out of luck?
And you think you've seen it all
But you wonder where I go
I've been growing right side of wrong
It's too late
You're too late
House Arrest lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I can't bend my arms and legs please sign my cast or be without me
And I'll see the day when you can come to my house and play with me
See you in the morning
Can't you see I'm grounded
Underground, go crazy after all because it's OK for kids
We all know, just plain and simple, nothing ever goes my way
And I'll see the day, and I'll kill the day, the day
And I'll see the day when you can come to my house and play with me
See you in the morning
Can't you see I'm grounded
Underground, go crazy after all because it's OK for kids
We all know, just plain and simple nothing ever goes my way
Usery lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I don't want to be up on a Friday night
But I don't want to be there up on a Saturday night
I don't want to be up on a Friday night
But I don't want to be there up on a Saturday night
I don't want to be up on a Friday night
I don't want to be there
When it's over when I'm starving
Could it be yanked out of your hand
Yep I'm the guy, all that you've seen and heard
What about yourself now?
You're just the girl next door
So now you're waiting to find out that it's something
Wishing, to get your face up anyway
Give it up dish it out now take it back
Now lift it up, turn it back now one more
When it's over when I'm starving
Take your hand to rest with your head
Yep I'm the guy, all that you've done and seen
Laying on the floor at 6:30 and you're here
Say you want it so, so
Just say it right you want me
Wednesday lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Meet a part of me that feels like every other day
It has been seen in pictures and in alleyways
Can see it through your walls
Can see it through your fall
Can see it on your floor, wrong way
Lift your head up, Wednesday
It's almost 2:30
When the walls start falling down you'll be last to be found
That's alright, malt liquor
So you can promise me a day
Not going to promise nothing anyway
Say you will, say you will and then you don't
Meet a part of me that feels like every other day
It has been seen in pictures and in alleyways
Can see it through your walls
Can see it through your fall
Can see it on your floor, wrong way
Lift your head up, Wednesday
It's almost 2:30
When the walls start falling down you'll be last to be found
That's alright, malt liquor
So you can promise me a day
Not going to promise nothing anyway
Say you will, say you will and then you don't
Crooked lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Why do you think I just want you for some more?
If it the endings over why do you come back for more?
Can be such a drag
Stir you round and round
You're a fake
Is it a crime?
It's over, no more can lose
Fork over, just leave me quick
Have you wondered why?
I wish I could smile
Screw the lid on tight with all your might
First come first serve
Is it right?
You're a fake
Is it a crime?
It's over, no more can lose
Fork over, just leave me quick
Reason 346 lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
They're disregarding us telling me I'm blind
Trying to rid my mind
And if worst comes to worst I think I'll be first to never be the same
We're not to blame
I wasn't there
Hair in her eyes and it didn't cost a thing
Fell to my knees
Stuck on like fleas
Saw on TV and it took effect
And who were they to judge?
It could've be way worse, it didn't have to strain
They bound us sleep which didn't mean a thing
Calling in for free
Sick of being down while coming through a fall
I want out
We're not to blame
I wasn't there
Hair in her eyes and it didn't cost a thing
Fell to my knees
Stuck on like fleas
Saw on TV and it took effect
Come on down
Come on down
Now round this [?] found an [?]
Where not one trace left of you that's clear where found your face
Dreams and my full Circle K
Dreams and my full Circle K
Dreams and my full Circle K
That's where your mom can find you now
Scientific lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
20 million miles away like something coming in
A tidal wave from outer space and it's so near
Step out of moving up you better stay on guard
One defender disappeared and we want him back
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It's all the same fortunate I'm still around
Science can tell
Got it all wrong
The 18 in 86 it focused in our minds
Wake up take up kill us all I'm grown
Step on up. moving up you better stay on guard
One defender disappeared and we want him back
What are the kids going to be like in history?
It's all the same, fortunate I'm still around
Science can tell
Got it all wrong
Cars lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
OK Tom take a drink now
My, oh, my, can you save my life?
It doesn't have to mean looking out for me
Hey, now look at you, way cool, on time
There's no room for Mamacita
No room for Mamacita
There's no room for Mamacita
No room for Mamacita
Sit tight, shed say
A okay and that's what you'll say
While falling on the ground, leaves in her hair
Hey now look at you, way cool on time
(Hey, hey guys, hey, I think, hey)
(Hey dude, dude, Jim Zatrioni)
We hate, we hate you, we're Nazi
We're Nazi, whoa
(Scientific riff)
Call To Love lyrics - Jimmy Eat World (feat. Bethany Cosentino)
(originally by Crooked Fingers)
Those fancy things your new boy bought you for
Won't save a jaded girl like you
So I must question what you take me for
I know for him your love is not true
So while, while you lay with that joker tonight
My friend and his love just ain't doing you right again
Won't you hear my heart
I'm transmitting a call to love
It's true I heard a birdy say your name
But I'm a straight talk woman, got no time for games
Don't need my heart kicked around the block no more
You may be smooth talking daddy but I've heard it all before
So I don't care if you're making that sound
No heart receives love when it's broken down
So how am I supposed to hear
Or take heed to this call to love?
I found a hundred different ways to say that I am not in love with you
Or maybe more if I was sure but I'd be lying not to be your fool
So come on, love is a fine thing to take a chance on
Send it back before the signal is gone
Oh, won't you call to me?
Won't you send me your call to love?
So come on, love is a fine thing to take a chance on
Send it back before the signal is gone
Oh, won't you answer me?
I'm transmitting a call to love
Oh, won't you answer me?
I'm transmitting your call to love
Firestarter lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
(originally by Prodigy)
I'm the trouble starter
Punkin' instigator
I'm the fear addicted
Danger illustrated
I'm a twisted
You're a twisted
I'm a twisted
Fire starter
I'm the bitch you hated
Filth infatuated
I'm the pain you tasted
Well intoxicated
I'm a twisted
You're a twisted
I'm a twisted
Fire starter
I'm the self inflicted
My detonator
I'm the one inflicted
Twisted and animated
I'm a twisted
You're a twisted
I'm a twisted
Fire starter
I'm a twisted
You're a twisted
I'm a twisted
Fire starter
I'm a twisted
You're a twisted
I'm a twisted
Fire starter
half heart lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
When there's no comfort in comfortable
The stolen chances and colored cars
You can invest with your full heart
You feel it crumble before you start
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Perfect only 'cause you never did
The moments that we have will soon be gone
Either you're here or you're not
You're here or you're not
The floating fire is hard to hold
Our fingers pass right through its glow
There's peace out there somewhere in time
But I'm as real as you will find
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Perfect only 'cause you never did
The moment that we have is almost gone
Either you're here or you're not
Either you're here or you're not
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Perfect only 'cause you never did
The moment that we have is almost gone
Either you're here or you're not
Either you're here or you're not
Jen lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Jen
Don't be scared, don't be shy
We use to do this all the time
You know it Jen
Jen
We could be happy now
So jet across the coast and country, Jen
Sometimes Jennifer
Live for too long and then your chance is gone
The choice we're meant to take
Is one they'll never take
All you have to do is say
Jen
I think you tried just a little hard
Acting like something you not
Jen
I wanna make you feel the way you should
You have to let things go to keep them close
What you'll do today
Already has a name
Is anything but a mistake
Jen
Don't be scared, no don't be shy
We used to do it all the time
Ya-Ya-You know it Jen
It's you and me, what could that mean?
You can't pretend we're only friends then walk away
No one's looking now
Take a chance, come on
Could do anything you want
Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
You know it, Jen
Put your arms around someone soft
Take it as it comes, trust your heart
Trust me
Trust your heart, trust me
You know it, Jen
Last Christmas lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
(originally by Wham!)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special
My Enemy lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
The story is common
So plain we pass by often
All motion defeated
By endless what-if questions
Obvious, we own it
Our anxious scars and bruises
Heavy hands swing slowly
With weight of our own choosing, now
We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown"
Thirsty for comfort
Too proud to ask for answers
Libraries of suggestion
The loudest voice is hidden
Obvious, so simple
Action makes for removal
Heavy heart, bad posture
Collapse and falling under, now
We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown"
You feel the tide is rising
That water's cold as hell
Think enemies surround you
Everyone, except yourself
Your condition
Fake direction is no protection
No Sensitivity lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Well I've got my car we could go and sit a while
I know it won't turn over but we'll get somewhere just the same
Now honey, I'm through talking
It's the strangest thing, but I feel safe when I'm lonely
Don't take too much
You'll get burned if it's all at one time
The world don't spin without you
I'm amazed you're standing still
I'm taking my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back from you
Your problems, they aren't problems
So be glad they never will
I'm taking my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back from you
Take it easy, don't you get
It's just expression
Would you raise your voice every time a little dirt gets under?
Cry if you want, it's the return of no sensitivity
You don't have to scream to say something that you honestly mean
The world don't spin without you
I'm amazed you're standing still
I'm taking my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back from you
And no your problems, they aren't problems
So be glad they never will
I'm taking my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back from you
When you hear those footsteps calling
Isn't it obvious? Isn't it obvious?
It's OK if you don't answer
I thought it was obvious
I thought it was obvious
The world don't spin without you
I'm amazed you're standing still
I'm taking my kisses back from you
I want my kisses back from you
Your problems, they aren't problems
Thank God they never will, never will
I want my kisses back from you
Kisses back from you, you, you
I want my kisses back from you
Place Your Debts lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
Gentlemen, place your debts
Payment in full by future you
I think we can all agree
The ending is off to a great start
The present is soon replaced
In small increments attention fades
One or another way
The house collects its mark
How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains
I chose a mystery
Went there alone, intentionally
I had to forgive myself
For grieving imaginary loss
You'll pay with the life not lived
You pay with each thought of what could have been
But nothing adds to the cost
Like missing the ride you're on
How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains
Growing pains
Gentlemen, place your debts
I'd wish you good luck, but luck isn't it
The driver and passenger
Don't go the same place
How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains
Roller Queen lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I blame it on my entrance
It may have seemed too much like confidence
Let me start it over
Help me get to what I can from when I did
All that I know is how I can hold on
All that you see is how I let go
(Take me back, please)
Had to leave my reasons
It may have seemed too much, the consequence
And in your busy, dizzy life
You will become everything you said you would
All that I know is how I can hold on
All that you see is how I let go
So how about once around?
Softer lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train
Now, I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to the weaker traits
Now, I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know, time heals nothing by itself
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
I see that ever so clearly now
She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer around her eyes
Just a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer around her eyes
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady
Now, I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know, time heals nothing by itself
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
(Tick, tock, turn it off)
I see that ever so clearly now
(The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center)
(Take it slow and make it softer)
(Easy likes it nice and steady)
Something Loud lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I walked around for days
In a familiar place
This time I finally let myself own every small feeling
There was the one who got away
There was a first for everything
Never a second guess if I was right where I should be
Do you know what I mean?
All night
Do you still feel part of something loud?
All night
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night
When you can't look at the day
I had it figured out
The way it really is
In growing up we've added just too much complexity
Friends at the show in '95
Miss every one of them
But there's a moment that you die or you move on to live
Every one of us did
All night
Do you still feel part of something loud?
All night
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night
When you can't look at the day
I had what I had
And god damn
I would change
Not a single thing
So smile, wave
Then let go
All night
Do you still feel part of something loud?
All night
Are you such a different person now?
A dream that never was
An idea you think you come from
All night
When you can't look at the day
(All night)
When you can't look at the day
(All night)
When you can't look at the day
Telepath lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
In my mind
You are an old empty old apartment
Sitting on your mother's table
Next to you is her
Carving out our names into each
Piece of wood and concrete
Told her I don't have a lot
But you can have my soul
Do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Do you want me?
No
Do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Do you want me?
No
In your mind, this is some new
And glorious morning
And you ain't ever gonna let
Nobody take that light again
Everyone I know is slowly
Falling in the ocean
I don't want to be
The next to row
I never learned to swim
Do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Do you want me?
No
Do you want me?
Baby do you want me?
Do you want me?
No
In my mind, you are the road
I chose to travel
Might as well have been
The very last thing I decide
Half the time I'm lost, afraid
That you're just borrowed
It don't matter much to me
I'm not afraid to die
Baby are you with me?
Do you forgive me?
You're the one I wanted
Want now, want when I am old
Baby are you with me?
Do you forgive me?
You're the one I wanted
Want now, want when I am old
When I'm falling
You're the one I wanted
Want now, want when I am old
When I'm falling
You're the one I wanted
Want now, want when I am old
Yer Feet lyrics - Jimmy Eat World
I was drunk when I met you
I was drunk when I walked out the door
And I rolled around the night to find you
But I guess you never knew
You just needed something solid you could hold
Like a dog that came when you called
Like a coatstand that sits out in the hall
And you don't need me
It's yer feet you don't need
Always facing back a way you just came
I don't love you any more, I don't need you
I'm just keeping a score
You said life's too short to be bored
All this rollin' around on the floor
Won't get you what you want it's just a waste
And you don't need me
So I look at every woman
Just to see if there's something there for me
And I look up every moment
Just to know if I'm missing something sweet
And I need something solid to hold
Like a dog that comes when I call
Like a brick I can throw against a wall
And I don't need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you
I was drunk when I walked out the door
And I rolled around the night to find you
But I guess you never knew
You just needed something solid you could hold
Like a dog that came when you called
Like a coatstand that sits out in the hall
And you don't need me
It's yer feet you don't need
Always facing back a way you just came
I don't love you any more, I don't need you
I'm just keeping a score
You said life's too short to be bored
All this rollin' around on the floor
Won't get you what you want it's just a waste
And you don't need me
So I look at every woman
Just to see if there's something there for me
And I look up every moment
Just to know if I'm missing something sweet
And I need something solid to hold
Like a dog that comes when I call
Like a brick I can throw against a wall
And I don't need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you
No I don't need you
