Alex & Sierra - It's About Us Album Lyrics

---

Scarecrow

[Alex:]
I'm standin' still without you
In the emptiest of fields
I wish that I could say what's on my mind

[Sierra:]
The straw that fills your heart
So you never have to feel
You say that you just need a little time

[Alex:]
Days like these I bury my
My each and every word
And hide them underneath these lonely trees

[Sierra:]
The harvest moon is wicked
I know that you've been hurt
I swear I'm here for good I'll never leave

[Alex:]
This is where it starts tonight
[Sierra:]
If you open up your heart tonight

[Both:]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea
And I just want to believe in you and me
I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

[Sierra:]
You used to be so full of life
Not just an empty shell
You're out there all alone I wonder why

[Alex:]
The pieces keep on falling out
And I pick them up myself
But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes

[Alex:]
Oh, this is where it starts tonight
[Sierra:]
If you open up your heart tonight

[Both:]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea
And I just want to believe in you and me
Yeah, I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)
(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

[Sierra:]
You said you'd open up for me
[Alex:]
Well nothing's what it seems to be
[Sierra:]
How can I make you feel again
[Alex:]
Only you can make me real again

[Both:]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea
I just want to believe in you and me
I just want to believe in you and me

[Both:]
You're staring out the window
I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea
And I just want to believe in you and me
Yeah, I just want to believe in you and me

(Heeya! Heey! Heeya! Heey)

[Both:]
You're staring out the window
I'm out here in the street
You stand there like a scarecrow
And I just want to believe in you and me

Give Me Something

Tonight you can leave your mark
No one's watching in the darkness
Kiss me on the neck, make a beautiful scar
Anywhere you like

No regrets, all bets are off
We don't need the little talkin'
Listen to the madness in my heart
Can you read my mind?

It can be a lonely world
I want forever times forever

So give me something I can't live without
Leave the sound of your name on my mouth
Give me something I keep dreaming 'bout
All night, all night, oh yeah
Give me something I can't live without

With the hours only 24
Every second's a revolving door
I'm gonna hold onto your heart for sure
Till the end of time

Oh, it could be a lonely world
I want forever times forever

So give me something I can't live without
Leave the sound of your name on my mouth
Give me something I keep dreaming 'bout
All night, all night, oh yeah
Give me something
All night, all night, oh

Give me something
I can't live without
Give me something
I can't live without

Give me something I can't live without
Leave the sound of your name on my mouth
Give me something I keep dreaming 'bout
All night, all night, oh yeah
Give me something I can't live without
Leave the sound of your name on my mouth
Give me something
All night, all night, oh yeah
All night, all night, oh yeah

Bumper Cars

Can't help wondering what you're thinking
Wherever you are
Late night movies, careless drinking
To cover these scars
And as much as I wanna be with you, I know...

You and me, we're bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart, no
Round and round we chase the sparks
But all that seems to lead to....
Is a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars
Bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart

Good intentions, all these questions
I'm sitting alone
All roads since you are wrong directions
I'll never get home
And it's making me wanna be with you, I know...

You and me, we're bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart, no
Round and round we chase the sparks
But all that seems to lead to
Is a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars
Bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart, oh

This was supposed to be fun
This was supposed to be the one
Maybe we stayed too long
Maybe we played all wrong
This was supposed to be good
But I know, I know

You and me we're bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart, no
Round and round we chase the sparks
But all that seems to lead to...
It's a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars
Bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart

We're bumper cars
Bumper cars
The more I try to get to you
The more we crash apart

Almost Home

Lost in innocence
Take this fragile heart
We know where we've been
All these miles together

Fall into my skin
Crash into these arms
We know how this ends
Fade into forever

The road is wild
We're holding on for life
Like a child
Who's not afraid to cry
We're escaping to a place they'll never know
Just you and me love
We are almost home

Lost inside your eyes
As brilliant as the stars
Show me every side
The good, the bad, the better

The road is wild
We're holding on for life
Like a child
Who's not afraid to cry
We're escaping to a place they'll never know
Just you and me love
We are almost home

Promise you I'll be
The promise you can keep
Till the end of time
And on the other side

The road is wild
We're holding on for life
Like a child
Who's not afraid to cry
We're escaping to a place they'll never know
Just you and me love
Just you and me love
Just you and me love
We are almost home

Here We Go

Drinking in the water
Looking at the wild attire
Sitting by the benches
Like a desert wildflower

Tell me now, tell me now
What you want, what you want
Tell me now, tell me now
Don't stop, don't stop

Come closer
Let me lay with all your secrets
Come slowly
Cross the line of rhyme and reason

Oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go

Silhouettes in dust clouds
Revelate in consummation
Nothing's ever too loud
When you don't need conversation

Tell me now, tell me now
What you want, what you want
Tell me now, tell me now
Don't stop, don't stop

Come closer
Let me lay with all your secrets
Come slowly
Cross the line of rhyme and reason

Oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
Here we go, here we go
Here we go, here we go

Oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
Oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone

Come closer
Let me lay with all your secrets
Come slowly
Cross the line of rhyme and reason

Oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone

Come closer
Let me lay with all your secrets
Come slowly
Cross the line of rhyme and reason

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
Here we go, here we go

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're never better off alone
You're never better off alone

It's About Us (Interlude)

Life's about so many things.
It's all about our hopes and dreams.
It's all about sticking it out through all the ups and downs.

'Cuz it's hard to accept the narrative
of the modern world and how we live.
So to change my world,
and change my view,
and start taking better care of you...

...because
It's about us.
It's about you...and me.
Now it's about us.
It's about us
And what we can do to keep each other alive.

It's about us.

Little Do You Know

Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece

Little do you know
I need a little more time

Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight

Little do you know
I need a little more time

I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me

Little do you know
I know you're hurting while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece

Little do you know
I love you 'til the sun dies

Oh wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain,
Just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid,
Just wait
Our love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me

I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me

'Cause little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies

Cheating

Do you ever think about cheating on me?
Where would you go and who would it be?
One of my friends or a celebrity
Do you ever think about cheating on me?

Do you ever think about a one-night stand?
Leaving the club at 3 a.m.
With a male model or guy from a band
Do you ever think about a one-night stand?

Woah, if you tell me no, that's not an answer I'd believe
There's not a single soul who hasn't had that fantasy
But on the other side you know the grass ain't always green

Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?
Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?

Do you ever think about breaking up?
Throwin' in the towel cause you've had enough
Turn around the car cause the road looks rough
Do you ever think about breaking up?

Woah, if you tell me no, that's not an answer I'd believe
There's not a single soul who hasn't had that fantasy
But on the other side you know the grass ain't always green

Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?
Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?

Lalalalalalala-lie
Lalalalalalala-lie

On the other side you know the grass ain't always green

Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?
Oh, do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?
Do you ever, do you ever think about cheating on me?

Just Kids

Floating on while the world is sinking
Umbrellas in the the cups, we're drinking
I love it, lo-lo-love it
Love it, lo-lo-love it

We light it up in the darkest hour
Our dreams only getting louder
I love it, lo-lo-love it
Love it, lo-lo-love it

This is our turn now
Nothing left to think about
Baby, let your hair down
(I love it, lo-lo-love it)
Down, down, down
(Love it, lo-lo-love it)

These are our last words
Gonna be the last ones heard
Baby, when we crash and burn
(I love it, lo-lo-love it)
Burn, burn, burn
(Love it, lo-lo-love it)

We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
[x2]

We're just la la la la la la...
La la la la la la...

I shouldn't tell you that I see through your dress
Ain't no shame in a drunken secret
I love it, lo-lo-love it
Love it, lo-lo-love it

Little lady, come a little closer now
You can see me while the stars are falling down
I love it, lo-lo-love it
Love it, lo-lo-love it

This is our turn now
Nothing left to think about
Baby, let your hair down
(I love it, lo-lo-love it)
Down, down, down
(Love it, lo-lo-love it)

These are our last words
Gonna be the last ones heard
Baby, when we crash and burn
(I love it, lo-lo-love it)
Burn, burn, burn
(Love it, lo-lo-love it)

We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
[x2]

We're just la la la la la la...
La la la la la la...

Nights are red, days are gold
The sun goes out, moon is full
Just us kids letting go
Just us kids letting go
[x2]

We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are, we are, we are
(Just us kids letting go)
We are, we are, we are
(Just us kids letting go)
[x2]

We're just kids

I Love You

I fell in love with a beautiful girl
And she still takes my breath away
I fell in love in the morning sun
While the hours slipped away
Sometimes when I hear your name
A smile creeps on my face
And for reasons I can't explain
It's never out of place

'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to
'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to

You ran your finger down my back
And you spelled out your name
While we lay there on the soft warm ground
For a week and thirteen days

And I know that it sounds so wrong
And you've heard all this before
I didn't come back and I wasn't there
I won't trouble you no more

'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to
'Cause I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to

Every time I try to fight it
Everything just turns out wrong
Maybe if I got my timing right
I wouldn't end up alone

I fell in love with a beautiful boy
And you still take my breath away

When you left it was the end of my world
'Cause I never got to say

That I love you
More than you think I do
And I love you
Now you don't want me to
'Cause I love you ('Cause I love you)
More than you think I do
And I love you (I love you)
Now you don't want me to

'Cause I love you
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
And I love you
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
'Cause I love you
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
And I love you
Now you don't want me to

Broken Frame

You and me sitting here spinning gears
We're like a stolen car
Hand in mine, feeling like this is right
But it's just not ours

The greatest pretenders forget to remember
the lies
We're falling forever, we're far from together
tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Time is on neither side, no one's wrong
And no one's right
Hiding pain, Novocaine is gonna fade
There's no good in goodbye

The greatest pretenders forget to remember
the lies
We're falling together, the ties that we sever
tonight

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame

Gotta open up, open up
Gotta open up, open up

The light at the tunnel is a runaway train
The stars that we wish on are only airplanes
The love that we're chasing is a heart break away
'Cause we're picture perfect in a broken frame
In a broken frame
In a broken frame

Back To You

Are you lonely? Do you miss me anymore?
Is your heart as empty as these arms that used to hold you?
Are you tired? Are you weaker than before?
Are you sinking? Cause I've been thinking that there's something missing
Mmm, it's you

Oh, it's you

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything without you

I grew tired of all the empty promises
You held me up to a place so high
But I'm down in the ground and there's no one around
All this love that I gave to you
In your arms I asked you to kiss me
Over and over again

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything without you

And your mind's wandering out the door
And your body's got nowhere to fall
And it seems so clear but your heart's not sure

Now I'm without you
I'm feeling insecure about the little things
I guess the little things were what we lost
But all I remember brings me back to you and all those little things
I'm not anything

But all I remember brings me back to you, without those little things
We're not anything

All For You

Here I go
Another night I find myself losing all control
You won't believe what I've been thinking

Wanna rob a bank
Get you everything you could ever need
Steal a plane and fly you wherever you want

(You never know when to stop)
It's the way you keep me twisted
It's just how I like it to be
(You never know when to stop)
So if you wake up and see me on the news
I did it all for you
I did it all for you

There you go
Love to cause trouble, I don't think you know
Just how close I've been to doing the same

Wanna steal your favorite car
Drive every mile 'til we pop the tires
No jail bars are ever keeping us apart

(You never know when to stop)
It's the way you keep me twisted
It's just how I like it to be
(You never know when to stop)
So if you wake up and see me on the news
I did it all for you
I did it all for you

They're coming to get us so we better run
Are we gonna pay for the things that we've done?
They're coming to get us so we better run

They're coming to get us so we better run
Are we gonna pay for the things that we've done?
They're coming to get us so we better run

I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
For you, for you, for you

I did it all for you
I did it all for you
