We Are The In Crowd - Weird Kids Album Lyrics

Long Live The Kids

I've seen the rise, and the fall.
The bitterness in all the empty hearts
That stopped before they left their mark.
In this town worst friends
Can be your best enemies.
Share the same last wish, last names.
It's all eyes to keep you in line.

So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all.
Pride may fail us,
But god we will die trying.
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all.
Fate may cheat us,
But God we will die trying.

Hope, hey!

I've been the hope, and the doubt
The fear of breaking down
These insecurities until there's nothing left
(Until there's nothing left)
I wanna scream, I wanna live
I don't care who's listening.
I won't wait my turn to be the ignorant
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
If I rised to keep you in line

So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all.
Pride may fail us,
But God we will die trying.
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all.
Fate may cheat us,
But God we will die trying.

You can't tell us no!
You can't tell us no!
No! No-oh!
You can't tell us no!
No! No-oh!
You can't tell us no!

You can't tell us no, no, no, no, no!

Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us,
But God we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us,
But God we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Fate may cheat us,
But God we will die trying
God we will die trying!

No, no-oh!
You can't tell us no!
No, no-oh!
You can't tell us no!
No, no-oh!
You can't tell us no!
No, no-oh!
You can't tell us no!

The Best Thing (That Never Happened)

(Ow, ooh)

[Verse 1]
I let you get away with thinking you're the cure.
I think I'm in too deep, it's time to pull the cord.
You like me more when you think, I'm getting bored.
I hope you're home the day I tear down the walls.

[Chorus]
I won't settle, settle, settle, you are never gonna hold me down.
So toxic, you ain't nothin' but a prick.
I'm the best thing that never happened to you.
Never, never, never, you are never gonna live this down.
Life's too short, I can't fake it anymore.
I'm the best thing that never happened to you.

(Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Don't you get sick of only hearing your own voice?
Talk like you're so damn tough but you're just a little boy.
You like to think you've broke the mold but now I'm sure,
You'll crack just like the rest when I break your f*cking jaw.

[Chorus]

(Ooh, hahahaha, ow)

I won't settle, I won't settle, I won't settle.

[Chorus]

(Ooh, whoa)

Manners

Ohoh oh oh ohoh
Ohoh oh oh ohoh
Someone should teach you some manners

I wish I had a camera
I think you've got more nerve than you've got tact
I wanna take a picture
Of the look when your words bite your back
Remember how I showed you out just like that

What do you see when you close your eyes
Do you sleep
I know you do and I'm not surprised
While your ego keeps you warm
It's burning
All the bridges that you start

We tried
Oh, we tried
What goes around comes around
Now it's right back here to haunt you

We tried
(I earned my wings teaching guys like you)
Oh, we tried
(To keep your mouth shut, So keep your mouth shut)
Now you lost what I found
But I'm right back here to haunt you

Ohoh oh oh ohoh
And now I'm right back here

You're so transparent
I see straight through your empty chest
And spineless back
I've seen enough not to trust
I think enough is enough

You got too close
You know I'm terrible
At keeping track of sleep
It always seems to sneak away
Along with wolves like you
Dressed as counting sheep

We tried
Oh, we tried
(I kept my mouth shut, I kept my mouth shut)
What goes around comes around
Now it's right back here to haunt you

We tried
(I earned my wings teaching guys like you)
Oh, we tried
(To keep your mouth shut, So keep your mouth shut)
Now you lost what I found
But I'm right back here to haunt you

HEY!

It always seems to slip away
I'm taking back what is mine
What is left is here to haunt you
(Hey!)
It always seems to slip away

Don't even know what you lost
But I hope this will remind you
You can never be honest
Remind you
Not the first or the last
I promise

We tried
Oh, we tried
(I kept my mouth shut, I kept my mouth shut)
What goes around comes around
Now it's right back here to haunt you

We tried
(I earned my wings teaching guys like you)
Oh, we tried
(To keep your mouth shut, So keep your mouth shut)
Now you lost what I found
But I'm right back here to haunt you

Ohh oh oh ohhh
Now I'm right back here
ohh oh oh ohhh
And now I'm right back here to haunt you

Come Back Home

I don't even know you anymore
But I think you know
What you mean to me

Things will never be the way
They were before
I guess you can't count on anything

And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home

You taught me everything I know
About poetry
I still pretend I know what it means

Remember picking out who we wanna be
Back when we didn't know anything

And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home

Every night since you've been gone
I still leave the light on
I know it's wrong, to wait so long

You say you're getting on just fine
But you still stutter when you lie
I know you better
Tell me would you come back home

And your brand new friends
They won't care about you
When the party ends
They'll leave you in the dark
Saying tell me where you're hidin'
I think it's time to come back home
Come back home
I think it's time you come back home

Attention

(We're all just weird kids in the end)

Attention
I'll walk you though this slowly if you're still listening
Cause you're penny back for stealing our thoughts
All for the sake of wanting more
Play it safe while you keep score
And one day we might find that piece of mind that we lost in the first place

I know the way I wanna be
But I'm trapped in who I am
The only thing that holds me back is believing that I need a change
We are the only friends we have
And if there's nothing left
And I fall, don't fall apart

We're all just weird kids in the end

I tied up my bases
Left my loose ends hanging
Of the words that I had wished that I'd said
Memories that keep me up in bed
Should of could of would of stayed the way I'd been
If it wasn't for the means there'd be no end
To sleepless nights in parking lots
That light the way to make a better me
If I can bite these feelings into a greater meaning
They fall on deaf ears

I know the way I wanna be
But I'm trapped in who I am
The only thing that holds me back is believing that I need a change
We are the only friends we have
And if there's nothing left
And I fall, don't fall apart

Don't fall apart
We all fall, we all fall, we all fall
Don't fall apart

I know the way I wanna be
But I'm trapped in who I am
The only thing that holds me back is not believing
We are the only friends we have
And if there's nothing left
And I fall, don't fall apart

I know the way I wanna be
But I'm trapped in who I am
The only thing that holds me back is believing that I need a change
We are the only friends we have
And if there's nothing left
And I fall, don't fall apart

We're all just weird kids in the end
We're all just weird kids

Dreaming Out Loud

I'm sifting through memories
Looking for answers in the past
A dose of reality
I hate the taste
But I know it's for the best

Connecting dotted lines
Taking steps to find
A way to fix myself
I try to redefine
All the things that hold me back
Out of this mess

I think I slept right through the good part
But somehow I'm still tired
I know it's time to make a new start
I can't seem to find a way
To walk out of my head
I'm afraid of what I'd miss
I think I slept right through the good part
So here's to dreaming out loud

It's like I've seen everything
But I can't remember when
Took more pictures than memories
I wonder if I was ever there at all

Connecting dotted lines
Taking steps to find
A way to fix myself
I try to redefine
All the things that hold me back
Out of this mess

I think I slept right through the good part
But somehow I'm still tired
I know it's time to make a new start
I can't seem to find a way
To walk out of my head
I'm afraid of what I'd miss
I think I slept right through the good part
So here's to dreaming out loud

Here's to dreaming out loud
Oh, I'm just dreaming

I think I slept right through the good part
But somehow I'm still tired
I know it's time to make a new start
I can't seem to find a way
To walk out of my head
I'm afraid of what I'd miss
I think I slept right through the good part
So here's to dreaming out loud

Here's to dreaming out loud
Here's to...
Here's to dreaming out loud

Remember (To Forget You)

All my exes live in Texas,
just a symptom of the times
and these miscommunications
we can leave between the lines.

How do I know you and me wont make it if we don't try?
We're just stuck here in the mean time

I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind
I can never remember how I met you,
and every time I try

I can't find a way to cover your face
with the truth inside the lies
I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind

I've got a complex for every message
and I sit and wonder why
I've got letters stacked in boxes
and you're the subject every time

How do I know you and me wont make it if we don't try?
We're just stuck here in the mean time

I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind
I can never remember how I met you,
and every time I try

I can't find a way to cover your face
with the truth inside the lies
I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind

Drowning in jealousy
Of people we wanna be
We're drowning in jealousy
Of people we wanna be

I cant stand to be myself
I could be anybody else
We're drowning in jealousy
Of people we wanna be

I'm so sick of being everything
To everyone but me.

I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind
I can never remember how I met you,
and every time I try

I can't find a way to cover your face
with the truth inside the lies
I gotta remember to forget you
cause you're always on my mind

cause you're always on my mind

Don't You Worry

You think you spent the best of your life
Like a puppet on a string
You think you got, none of it right
And there's no time left to change
So many memories
They're all so bittersweet
So many avenues
Back to where we were

Don't you worry about a thing
You're just lost inside a scream
Don't blow it, and make your life
Nothing less than you could own it
Make it right, Nothing less than you should be
Don't you worry about a thing
My sister

You taught me what was wrong and what's right
And you're proof of what it means
To be lost alone in plain sight
Things are never what they seem

Why can't you ever see
It's always bittersweet
The only avenue
Back to where we were

Don't you worry about a thing
You're just lost inside a scream
Don't blow it, and make your life
Nothing less than you could own it
Make it right, Nothing less than you should be
Don't you worry about a thing
My sister

Don't tell me
You're fading
You've got so much that you could be

Don't tell me
It's hopeless
You're the only reason you should need

Don't you worry about a thing
You're just lost inside a scream
Don't blow it, and make your life
Nothing less than you could own it
Make it right, Nothing less than you should be
Don't you worry about a thing
My sister

Windows In Heaven

Seems like a dream
Awaken before it was done
How could this be?
I walk alone
But sometimes I picture your hands held in my own
My brave face it's too late now

If you could see me now
Would you be pleased and proud
I'm doing fine
But sometimes I cry
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven
To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven?

You didn't leave
But you left behind more than you know
More than I see
Still can't let go
Your image I can't say goodbye
Here from below
My brave face it's too late now

If you could see me now
Would you be pleased and proud
I'm doing fine
But sometimes I cry
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven
To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face

Take me back to the times
Together we'd seek out, together we'd live out
All of the rest of our lives
For just one more minute
I can't get you in it
One moments of feeling less time
Face it's too late now

If you could see me now
Would you be pleased and proud
I'm doing fine
But sometimes I cry
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven
To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven

To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven?

Reflections

I think I've seen you before
Another time, another face
Whoever opened the door
Never had the time to waste

To paint pictures over windows
That don't satisfy our taste
It's so convenient to lose the truth
When it's laughing in your face

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own

I know I've been here before
But I can't find, the time or place
If we stay in the past
There'll be no future left to waste

Pinning paper wings on problems
Hoping that they'll fly away
Turn our backs, ignore the truth
If they can't support the weight

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own

Reflections on a two way mirror
Of everyone and everything
That's coming, and coming out
Of our lives
I can see myself in the static
I can see myself in you
Reflections on a two way mirror
Times running out, times running out

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
So I think I'll write my own

Perfect Reason

(Bonus Track)

There's something brilliant
In the way he wears his sins
Like a crown of thorns
A king of nothing
A war that no one wins

But every time I realize that I
Have seen this all before
Retrace the steps to faces that might
Lead to an open door

I've had enough
Of waiting for the perfect reason
Just to give you up
And all of your darkest secrets

There's gotta be a way just show me
Can't we both forget this all

Watch me give you up
And I'm spilling all your darkest
Spilling all your darkest secrets

There's something brilliant
In the way she wears my sins
For the world to see she's stronger now
With or without me

I can't try to hide it
I wish that I could
Hate you with all of my bones
I really hope you saved the best for last

I've had enough
Of waiting for the perfect reason
Just to give you up
And all of your darkest secrets

There's gotta be a way just show me
Can't we both forget this all

Watch me give you up
And I'm spilling all your darkest
Spilling all your darkest secrets

Now I'm waking up
life goes on without you
I'm gonna take it back
Gonna make it last this time

Now I'm standing up
Life goes on without you
I'm make it back
Gonna leave the past behind
I've had enough
Of waiting for the perfect reason
Just to give you up
And all of your darkest secrets

There's gotta be a way just show me
Can't we both forget this all

Watch me give you up
And I'm spilling all your darkest
Spilling all your darkest secrets

Waiting

(Bonus Track)

I'm waiting
For the seasons to change
They keep fading
But I still feel the same
I keep breaking
And nothing's gonna change my mind

I keep making
It up as I go
Always faking
A smile gets old
Give what I'm taking
Something...
Yeah something's gonna change my mind

Waiting
To wake up where I've been dreaming of
Leave me
Inside a memory that you made up

Don't tell me
(they'll all just try to change you)
and control me
(they'll break you down and rearrange you)

Someone show me something
That I can believe in
Cause I can't show myself

Waiting
To wake up where I've been dreaming of
Leave me
Inside a memory that you made up

I'm done living inside your head
Save your secondhand love songs
Just put em' to rest

I'm waiting
To wake up where I've been dreaming of

Someone told me
I think you've said enough
The enemy is me
I'm getting sick of when you
Come around, come around
My head
I'm gonna lock you out, lock you out
But I still feel the same

Waiting
To wake up where I've been dreaming of
Leave me
Inside a memory that you made up

I'm done living inside your head
Save your secondhand love songs
Just put em' to rest

I'm waiting
To wake up where I've been dreaming of
