1.21 Jiggawatts 

From the EP "Honor Bright"

I'm spinning a record composed in your image. The needle is dragging without digging scars. I'll get it right this time. Get it right next time. I want you to know that I'm ok. Just slice a smile on that luscious face. Smell the roses and inhale their thorns, it's working out for the best. Pick your poison a heart or a kiss. This kiss is not for you and i'm not sorry. I'm writing a letter sent in a bottle. I hope it reaches you before it's too late. I'll get it right this time. Get it right next time. I will finally smile when that look on your face is gone. When those lips that betray perpetually turn white. Pick your poison a heart or a kiss. This kiss is not for you and I'm not sorry. This is passion. Drink up my dear your glass slippers are cracking. A good stiff drink to keep you warm. Let's up the ante we'll sleep for goodbye you'll forget me in the morning so what was I worth anyway.

Bull In A China Shop 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

Don't make excuses when I didn't ask the reason why. Just keep quiet. Don't want to talk about this right now. Another conversation gone wrong. How did we get into this? So second guess your way out of this one. I'd like to see you try. Take a deep breath, honey, forget what you were about to say. You're so much cuter with your lips pressed close together. Another argument finds its way into your eyes. How did we get into this? So second guess your way out of this one. I'd like to see you try. Another tacit vote for silence, we're better off in separate rooms. So I break down these walls till I get through to you, one way or another. Do you ever think some things are better left unsaid? Well no, I suppose you don't think that way. Another tacit vote for silence, we're better off in separate rooms. So I break down these walls till I get through to you, one way or another. One way out.

Home Is A Heartache 

From the EP "If This Was A Movie"

Last night I said too much but you're still here so I'm doing something right. So can I apologize? Make this up to you somehow? This time I made a mistake, but I'm man enough to admit, I'm wrong this time. With loaded eyes, baby you look beautiful tonight. Don't gamble with my heart. Have you learned anything about me? You can see it in my eyes, I'd be better off alone. I'll get over this, just give it time. You know I'll come back to you; I always come back to you. I've been dying to tell you, I've been yours since day one. If distance makes the heart grow stronger; you'll never lose me when I'm gone. I hate it when this home becomes a heartache. With loaded eyes, baby you look beautiful tonight. I'll come back to you.

If Only They Knew 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars" (Deluxe Edition)

Special thanks to Liam for the corrections! Much appreciated!

The rain outside becomes the soundtrack to my thoughts
Drifting away, drifting away from this crowded city,
I'm sitting by myself
We both know I'm not alone.

There's something in the air that makes me feel so empty.
Maybe it's the rain or the fact that you're not here to kiss me beneath this clouded sky
and we both know why.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they knew.

The vibration from the cell phone on the dashboard brings back memories (brings back memories)
of when you were in Boston and I was home in New York.
A lonely boy still clinging to a kiss.
And New Year's came and went with barely a whisper. The words unspoken replayed a melody (replayed a melody)
When seeing you's the only way to know, to know you're not a dream.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they know.
If only they know, if only they know.

My eyes can see (my eyes can see)
my heart still knows you're my everything, you're my everything.

My eyes can see (my eyes can see)
my heart still knows you're my everything, you're my everything.

If we could stand a little closer next time so our hearts can beat in tandem.
If we could show the city lovers at their best.
If only they knew, if only they knew.

I Gave You My Heart, You Gave Me A Pacemaker 

From the EP "Honor Bright" and "Build Hearts From Stars" (Deluxe Edition)

Thanks again to Liam for the lyrics!

I promised myself I'd never fall
I'd keep the hurt I have inside

I'm not gonna give it away this time
I'm not gonna give it away this time

Though I might feel like I'm a failure,

it's not my fault.
My heart's been broken too many times

I know that nothing feels right this time,
right this time

These last few years just fit inside each tear
Just fit inside each tear

So cry yourself to sleep
Your pillow is the comfort that I will never be
We're in too deep, don't run away from me
don't run away from me
The silence becomes me

This song becomes my escape
My only means of getting away
I'm not gonna give it away this time
I'm not gonna give it away this time

I have to keep moving along
so I can learn how to be strong
For once in my life I can hold my head up high

Cry yourself to sleep
Your pillow is the comfort that I will never be
We're in too deep, don't run away from me
don't run away from me
The silence becomes me

So cry yourself to sleep
Your pillow is the comfort I will never be
We're in too deep, don't run away from me
don't run away from me

So cry yourself to sleep
Your pillow is the comfort that I will never be
We're in too deep, don't run away from me
don't run away from me

The silence becomes me, The silence becomes me
The silence becomes me, The silence becomes me
The silence becomes me, The silence becomes me
The silence becomes me, The silence becomes me

I Gotta See A Thing About A Girl 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

There's only seconds left for us to decide how things will turn out this time. An awkward silence and a kiss goodbye. Don't let your feelings get the best of this. It only brings out the worst and I can't take this fight another round. So tell me with your eyes. Just lean back, let your shoulders guide you into my arms so I can hold you this time. (don't stop, get it get it). Another moment gone. Another things I should have said. Another farewell. So let the meanings of each word hang around. Such melancholy to bring me down. It only brings out the worst and I can't take this fight another round. So tell me with your eyes. Just lean back, let your shoulders guide you into my arms so I can hold you this time. I'm not going to give it away again. Give you just one last word, my fond farewell. It only brings out the worst and I can't take this fight. Just lean back, let your shoulders guide you into my arms so I can hold you this time.

Kansas City Shuffle 

From the EP "If This Was A Movie"

Now we're back on speaking terms again. But how long do we wait to watch things get out of hand? I'm losing my patience. You're losing the girl. What am I supposed to do? Let me tell you something, so listen up. What kind of face should I wear today, the strong one, the sad one, Mr."I'm OK"? My God, listen to me. You'd think I was the one in there. You know I trust you. So trust me on this one. I need you to focus, to focus, on my words. I know you're trying, I know you're trying to help but I've got to do this for myself. Come on! I'm getting so frustrated. I wish I had the words to convince you not to feel this way. Well I appreciate the effort. I knew you would. I'll just take things a day at a time. It's the best you can do and you know it. Take it back, take it all back.

Kid Tested, Mother Approved 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

I wrote you a letter to let you know nothing's changed since you've gone. Take a photograph of me and you, I'll watch you tear it up. I'd like to take the time to welcome you back home. Welcome home, keep the flowers, enjoy the cold. I'm a lover with killer's hands, hold on until it dies. I know exactly what kind of girl you are. Don't say it unless you mean it, cause I mean it. I hope you thought of me while you were away. I hope all the boys treated you right. But they don't know you like I do. And they won't care for you the way I do. So take your time, take what's mine. You know I'll give it up. Welcome home, keep the flowers, enjoy the cold. I'm a lover with killer's hands, hold on until it dies. I know exactly what kind of girl you are. Don't say it unless you mean it, cause I mean it. Cause I need it. Go. Welcome home.

Let Your Fists Do The Talking 

From the EP "If This Was A Movie"

Another night of talking, this conversation didn't end any better than it started. But now you're disappointed and I'm just anxious to talk about anything. If I ask you will it be okay, you'll always tell me that everything, everything will be just fine. Something to take your mind off of this. To be honest just want to forget this night and move on. But will this be any better in the morning? Am I left alone in this bed, in this apartment? I'm so lost without you and it's nothing you did, oh no, oh no. It's nothing you did. When my broken heart is breaking down you'll finally see that you're my everything. Just doesn't feel like this will turn out right. So when you tell me it's over, I promise I won't believe you because it doesn't end this way. Nothing can replace this heart, I hope you're happy and you sleep well tonight. Cause tonight I sleep.

Let's Make Like A Tree And Get The Heck Outta Here 

From the EP "Honor Bright"

Let me tell you a story of a young girl just finding her way into problems. A heart breaker breaking it down in concepts build up by sky high dreams. She said mother please believe in me. I know I made wrong decisions but in the end the choices were mine. Believe me they'll search for pieces. Broken hearts to bring you home. She signed the letter with ink and a tear saying more than the words she couldn't write. He spoke so softly and laid a hand on her shoulder. That reassuring touch she knew so well. He told her all the things she wanted to hear like I love you, I miss you...goodbye. The worms will love the way you impress them with your wit. I built this bridge over the lake so I can watch you drown. How thoughtful am I?

Normal 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

We took things as far as they needed to go. I'm not asking for any favors just know that I did my best even if it wasn't good enough. Nothing's ever good enough for you. So stand back and watch this fall apart. Everything's falling down. I'm taking deep breaths to slow the pace of my heart. Its beating fast to let me know that I'm still alive. So I didn't die without you and knowing that you're not here with me makes everything feel alright. So stand back and watch this fall apart. Everything's falling down. What did we really learn this time? Go running back to everything you thought of me before you saw me fall. I'm better off without you I think you knew this from the start. I think you knew this. What did we really learn this time? Go running back to everything you thought of me before you saw me fall. I'm better of without you I think you knew this from the start. I think you knew this...

Only You 

From the EP "I This Was A Movie"

Just ask the question. I know you're dying to know what's on my mind, but no worries. I know exactly what you're thinking. It takes some time to get this right when timing is everything. I've got a broken watch and a pocket full of memories of when when your smile lit up the room and made me forget everything around me. I've got a crush on you. Don't look so worried. I've never doubted a single minute between us. If I could capture every moment our lives would be Polaroids scattered across our bedroom floor. Picture proof what love is for. So sing along, sing along. A thousand voices to say "I love you" but one voice to lead them all. So sing along. You're the only one, the only one for me.

Roads? Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads! 

From the EP "If This Was A Movie"

Three more days and I'm left waiting. Wondering how it's going to be when I get home. You're asking yourself questions without answers. You'll always know she's waiting for you. I know she's waiting. Please I promise things will be different this time. Please don't say goodbye. You hold my heart in the palm of your hand. I want you to know I'm falling harder for...
You know my heart will always understand. I want you to know I'm falling harder for you. I waiting to see if things get easier from here, but something tells me this will only get harder. You're falling faster I can see it in your eyes. Falling too deep, too deep to get out. But you know me better than this and we both know I'm a lover that's still fighting. You'll make this harder for yourself. I need this to be easier for her.

Short End Of The Stick 

From the EP "If This Was A Movie"

Stare at your picture, placed on the desk that we share. This room is full of memories of you and me. Take me back, take me back to what I said late that night in January; to stay here beside me for all time. But I don't mind if you don't mind. Save me one last night within your arms. This bed became the home that we share. I wouldn't have it any other way. It came without warning "I love you" spoken in late night whispers. 4AM until forever. I'm asking you to stay with me. It's now the middle of winter and the snowflakes brush a winter's kiss upon you cheek. I can't help but think of last year and how bad I wanted this to work out, not knowing that you wanted the same. So hold onto every memory the same way you hold onto me for all time. But I don't mind if you don't mind. And I would wish for you on every star in the sky.

Side Effects May Include Heartbreak And Self Loathing  

From the EP "Honor Bright" and the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

Lights out darling, we can run away. Pretense only seems to get in the way. And we can learn this lesson, take this to heart. Replay these memories in my head. We forget time and time again to just let things fall into place or just fall apart. Let's keep this conversation open. Talk about the reasons you love me. Let's keep this conversation open. We wait and let life pass us by. It's too late watch our worlds collide. Tomorrow will bring forever or at least tonight. Let's keep this conversation open. Talk about the reasons you love me. Let's keep this conversation open. This night forever build hearts from stars in the sky. Haven't seen you in so long.

Stage Dives And High Fives 

From the CD "Build Hearts from Stars"

Honey your words cut so deep when we both know you don't mean it. How did we let things get so far out of hand now it's all awkward silence. This time we'll apologize for all our mistakes. This time the lines we'll retrace will bring us both back home. The looks you give me always makes me regret what I say the moment it leaves my lips. So honestly, honesty. What are you waiting for? We can't cover the same ground each time an argument comes up in conversation. It's too bad now, it's too late. Honey your words cut so deep when we both know you don't mean it. how did we let things get so far out of hand now it's all awkward silence. This time we'll apologize for all our mistakes. This time the lines we'll retrace will bring us both back home. Aren't you forgetting something? That's right I left my heart on my sleeve so you can take it. I'll let you break it. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do you let me? Show me something other than this. I've seen enough. No more promises at least for now. Honey your words cut so deep when we both know you don't mean it. How did we let things get so far out of hand now it's all awkward silence. This time we'll apologize for all our mistakes.

Take My Hand 

From the CD "Build Hearts from Stars"

Are you nervous sweetheart? Standing in your driveway face to face. No one knows what to say now. But you know me I'll take anything from you tonight so...Take my hand and runaway with me, take our time with our goodbyes. Are you dreaming sweetheart? Standing in your mind's eye it's you and me. And this feels so perfect now. Like this was meant to be, you and me standing in your eyes...I can't get over them. I didn't want to I never want to. Take my hand and runaway with me, take our time with our goodbyes. Your hand lets go of mine and I watch you fall away. In your eyes I can't get over them. I didn't want to I never want to. Take my hand and runaway with me, take our time with our goodbyes. It dies tonight in your eyes.

Tapdancer 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

When they ask if I forgot about you I'll reply with an obscure answer. When I'm still singing songs about you they'll know the truth. I'm not becoming stronger I've just built a better mask. In conclusion I'd like to tell you...I know you're never coming back. What are you playing at anyways? Just move it along, move it along. This was not my choice, you forced it again. Take a chance just take your chances. You lost me again. So why do they keep saying if you love someone let them go. But I know you're never coming back. So why do they keep saying if you love someone let them go. What are you playing at anyways? Just move it along, move it along. You lost me again.

The Day I Became A Public Spectacle 

From the EP "Honor Bright"

Cataclysmic arguments of things we never meant to say so take back these words.
We're always justifying actions for all the wrong reasons.
Things were so different before you.
I'll ask again this one time for your final answer Please make sure you understand.
When did things become so difficult?
I'm talking to myself again.
Lie awake beside you.
Replay these conversations over and over again.
I hope you forgive me this time so...

When time doesn't heal all wounds you just bandage it up (bandage it up) and forget these scars of just who you are in this midnight melody we'll string these words together.

So just string him up string him up now.
We'll have ourselves a hanging!
The crowd gathers to watch me swing from this line of goodbye.
Back up (back up) and just give me air.
I'm going to drop now.
Pretend to sleep so i can hold you.
I'll never forget, forget tonight.
Pretend to sleep so i can hold you.

This Situation 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

So are we just making it up as we go along? Just making up for lost time. This was so much easier when it was just me and you. In this kiss in this night we found escape. It's alright, it's ok. Just sit a little closer now. I've been waiting for this. Don't let me down. Darling no, don't let me break this. Darling no, someday I'll come back to you. I'm still waiting for you tonight. Having you this close just makes it harder to let go. But in the end you know I'm leaving. So save your goodbyes for the next time. Brush my lips with your mind as you walk by. It's the little things that mean so much more. Brush my lips with your mind one last time. It's a memory to live on as we die. Don't let me down. Darling no, don't let me break this. Darling no, someday I'll come back to you. I'm still waiting for you tonight. Waiting, waiting for you...Each footstep promises distance, I'm still waiting for you. Oh darling, I'm still waiting for you tonight.

You Sure Can't Keep A Secret 

From the CD "Build Hearts From Stars"

Keep your hands to yourself. When distance can make things far too close for comfort. Just keep it short, keep it far away from me. I wish I could have a few moments alone. You know I'll make the most of it. I'll make the most of everything so take control of this situation. You know you want me baby, you know you do. It's alright, just breath in, breath me. I miss you so bad (no I don't). I don't know how many ways to say I'm sorry. Breath in breath out...

very close, Kotz! The only lyrics for "if only they knew" that were off were in the second verse where we say "..a lonely boy still clinging to a kiss" and "...new year's came and went with barely a whisper". other than that, great job! it's always a fun guessing game to see what the heck we're saying before the lyrics are posted. if there's any other questions about lyrics from anyone they can shoot us an email at honorbrighrock@gmail.com and title the message "Lyrics Questions - (song title)" and i'll answer it as quickly as possible. thanks again for everything you do for us!
