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
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."
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

Snowfall above me
So new, yet fading
Alone, I'm outside
Red sky, I wait there
Snowfall above me

If you wanted, you'll ask them

If you wanted, you'll ask them
