Tore my heart into jagged little pieces
And I sent em down the river in their own little bottles
Haven’t had a minute just to breathe
Now I have a fuckin hour just to shop for little bottles
Oh - I’m alone and I should know that’s ok
Oh - But I still hope someone tapes my heart together someday
CHORUS:
She tells me that we’re going downtown
To bum around and waste the day
She tells me not to think about it
“You spilt the milk but it’s spoiled anyway,
Don’t talk about him
Don’t walk his way”
She tells me we’re going downtown
If it’s ride or die, we die today
Tore my head popping tiny little pills
Didn’t think that it would matter cause I’m fucked up anyhow
Gave into the many years of pressure that
I put upon myself to stay cool in the crowd
Oh - I’m in pain, but I got good friends who stay
Oh - I can cope how I want so we dance the night away
CHORUS
She got me drinking champagne
In the back of a rental Cadillac
She got me bumping cocaine
Doing what we want, going where the party at
She got me in the thick of the night
Finding myself to the disco track
She got me out of my mind
Not a care in my head, cause she—
She got my back
CHORUS
Tore my heart into jagged little pieces
And I sent em down the river in their own little bottles

Wanna See Heaven?

I like it when you touch your hair
Would you do it if I we’re standing there?
Would you do it if I weren’t just a shadow on your window sill?
You’re beguiling, make me stop and stare
Kind of crazy how we keep ending up here!
Kind of crazy since I stopped taking my medicine, no not one pill
CHORUS:
I could hit you with my pistol
I could get you with my shotgun
Do you wanna feel the rush of metal?
Do you wanna see heaven?
I got toys and they please with ease
Hot and bothered by my smoking gun
Do you wanna drop to your knees?
Do you wanna see heaven?
It’s time I take what I deserve
They always fault me if I am too reserved
They always call me a freak for doing what I know to be is right
Give me a chance if I hit a nerve
I’m the kinda guy who takes stock, I observe
I’m the kinda guy you let climb through your window in the dead of night
CHORUS
I confess, I’ve been a sinner
And I’ll pay for breach of each infraction
But it’s worth it cause I end up as the winner
They say you make your own satisfaction
When I saw you, one hit, fell in love
Yeah I thought you we’re the one—
But you don’t seem to see the same in me
And I can’t breathe, I take what I need,
It’s not the same if you don’t want me
So I’m asking you again:
Do you wanna see heaven?
Do you wanna see heaven?

Take Me Home

In the glittering night
In the sweat stained air of where I’m dancing
I can feel my blood rushing down
At the end of the night
When I let my inhibitions do the talking
I’m just tryna mess around
PRE-CHORUS:
But I know what I need, you’re not good for me
If I leave alone, I won’t be waking up at three
Just to find my way back home
Yeah I know what I need, it’s not debauchery
When I go out alone, it’s just a game, yeah I’m tryna see
If you want to take me home
CHORUS:
But I’ll let you know
If I come around, If I’m in the mood
Tonight is not the night for me
If I got myself together, we could see
I’ll let you know
If I make a good choice today
If I’m not drinking another night away
I’m not the man I need to be
I just need to take the night for me
In the shivering hours
Under the influence of everyone I see
I can tell I’ve dulled my senses
With your devilish looks and your wicked powers
You’ve got your hooks dug deep in me
I’m alone with low defenses
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
PRE-CHORUS
Don’t take me home!
I’m a fucking mess tonight,
Got a million problems, feelin like I’m swimming in the sea
Tonight is not the night for me
Don’t take me home!
I’m on a million different things
My brain’s on the fritz,
No I’m not thinking so clearly
I just need to take the night for me
I just need to take the night for me
And I’ll let you know
That I’m a fucking mess tonight,
I got a million problems, feelin like I’m swimming in the sea
I just need to take the night for me
I just need to take the night for me
