Passed out in our school clothes so we'd wake up in our Sunday's best
I never asked for your opinion, I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless (so reckless), so,
So thoughtless (so thoughtless)
So careless, I could care less
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
(So reckless)
Well she's so heartless,
And I could care less
So paint your face up something elegant
And this town maybe a darker shade of red
Cause a long night means a fist fight
Against your pillow and my pearly whites
I want to hear you scream you like me better on my knees
So let us pray
(we don't believe in second chances)
So let us pray
Don't you ask me
Don't you move (anywhere)
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless (so reckless), so,
So thoughtless (so thoughtless)
So careless, I could care less
Well Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
(So reckless)
Well she's so heartless
And I could care less
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here (I'll keep you here, I'll keep you here)
One of us never did it but we're taking it all.
And tell me why you never promised that you wanted it all.
And her eyes never batted when she said it
It's a long night, open, know it
This glass house is burning down (open all night, know it)
You light the match, I'll stick around (open all night, know it)
I'll give you everything you want (open all night, know it)
And wish the worst of what I was (open all night, know it)
This glass house is burning down (open all night, know it)
You light the match, I'll stick around (open all night, know it)
I'll give you everything you want (open all night, know it)
And wish the worst of what I was (open all night, know it)
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Tonight won't make a difference
Well tonight won't make a difference
I never asked for your opinion, I just got it and I get it
You move slow like daytime drama
And I'm boring like his songs
So while I'm taking you for granted
We'll be humming along
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
So reckless (so reckless), so,
So thoughtless (so thoughtless)
So careless, I could care less
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lying just to keep you here
(So reckless)
Well she's so heartless,
And I could care less
So paint your face up something elegant
And this town maybe a darker shade of red
Cause a long night means a fist fight
Against your pillow and my pearly whites
I want to hear you scream you like me better on my knees
So let us pray
(we don't believe in second chances)
So let us pray
Don't you ask me
Don't you move (anywhere)

So reckless (so reckless), so,

"Don't you ask me,
and don't you lose"
should actually be
"Don't you ask me,
don't you utter a word"
And:
"So paint your face up something elegant,
and this town maybe a darker shade of red"
should be
"So paint your face up something elegant,
and this time maybe a darker shade of red"
Like I said, I'm not sure but it's just a suggestion.
Just a thought.
and as for ...slowdance on the inside, i don't think the song has ANYTHING to do with taking back sunday vs. brand new. Many articles about Taking Back Sunday in Alternative Press and other magazines mention how adam became a huge assett to TBS when it came to lyrics because he wrote many songs about his high school sweetheart. I think this song is about Adam's relationship with this girl coming to a dead end regardless of how hard they tried to fix things and make it work.
I find the lyics of this song and the overall tone to be incredibly powerful and this is the only song that can always make me cry no matter how many times I listen to it.
Btw, fuck anyone who says TBS or Brand New are unoriginal and sound just like another crappy emo band. The musicality and harmonies in all of their songs are 20 times more creative and complicated than any of that green day shit everyone still loves listening to on the radio and i think it's bands like these that write music that gets teens through their adolescence and set the standards for great alternative mmusic.
