Radiator Hospital

When I kiss you do you notice when I open my eyes? Can you feel the hopeless void that is surrounding the room tonight? I don't think this is going how I wanted it to, but then again the end is never quite exactly how you plan. I know it's not an issue anymore...

The party store looks closed right now. I’ll try back in an hour. I should have stayed in bed that night, but I always was a coward. The numbers I will play, they ain’t the numbers you’d have wanted. Cuz I’m tired of losing sleep inside of every room you haunt...

I put my head under the water so I can't see your reflection. Can you tell that I was crying the whole time that we were swimming? Whenever I forget this feeling everything seems to remind me. Can you tell that I was trying to forget how much you loved me? It'...

Absolutely Positive, yet completely wrong. I think I know the words, so I try and sing along. Add me to the list, yeah it's getting pretty long, but I feel something when you play that song. We pissed on your fireworks when we rolled into town. We were stupid...

I don't know what to do tonight. Don't wanna play this game, don't wanna play the game. I walk down to Highland park. It don't feel the same, it don't feel the same. There ain't nothin' to do tonight. Baby if you're down, well you know I'm down. The night Andy...

Never mind how you found me, Never mind all you are, Never mind system signal, Never mind in your arms, Never mind only one thing, Never mind who you all, Never mind chance at nothing, Never mind how you call, Never mind you. Never mind how you listen, Never m...

I should have known you'd leave the room when I said that I can't stop thinking about you. Open your mouth but the words don't come through.You say you're feelin’ me, but are your feelings true? Oh how can you say you're in love with me when you don't even wan...

Take me out. Outside the house with you. Make me feel whole, or warm, or mildly amused. I can’t recall ever feeling love so true. Hold onto my hand, hold me close, I’ve got nothing to lose. The sad songs make me sadder as they’re floating through the air. I ju...

Dark sky up above. Big cloud, don’t rain down. There’s a million rainclouds in your head, keep fallin’ down on you, and you can’t look at the ground but it’s all you wanna do. Rain down through your hair. Real loud, don’t be scared. There’s a million raincloud...

The song that you sing alone in your blue gown, flowers in spring bloom when they hear the sound. The beautiful thing still seems to let you down. If I don’t feel the same I have myself to blame. I’m your but not by name. The doom is so real, are we making a m...

You're in a picture that you haven't seen. You exist in the old magazine. You walk the paces you found all alone in your house when you fell off the silver screen. When I talk I'm like an open book. I didn't think of the toll that took. I didn't think about al...

I can't recall the night, or how you wore your hair, or if we were in love, or how that love began, but the lights outside your window shined right into my eyes, and for a moment I knew this town knew all my lies. 

I try dancin’ real fine, like I do every time, but I can’t seem to find my love tonight. You crash into your bed and you stare out the window, the stars twinkle brightly in your eye. You say you’re through with them, they say you can’t make up your mind. You w...

Last night I saw your face in the hallowed light. You were standing taller than the mountain side. Your long hair flowed down in blues and whites. I just stood there, bathed in the quiet. No, you say you’ll cut your bangs, I’m calling your bluff. When you lie...

In between the notes in your favorite song, you try and figure where it went wrong, but it went wrong long ago in many different ways. You try and feel your way through the groove, and though you're sad, your feet start to move. Let the tears fall where they m...

Dark sound, don't fall out of my head. With each new sound I hear, there's less light. Pull down on any hanging thread. I'll watch as you pull me into the night. Run now, or turn around instead, but if you ask me if I'll run? Well I just might. If it'll save u...

I want to be the shooting star, I want to be the astronaut, I want to be the poster boy hanging on your wall. And when you look at me will you remember all, all of the songs I sang before we fell out of love? And when you think of all, all of the boys you knew...

Back in your father’s arms when he said to you that you could do anything you want to, when he looked into your eyes he knew you believed it. Do you remember what you wanted to be then? Well I want to be the one that makes you feel like you could be that thing...

I can hear the sound of the beating drum echo through the hallway next to your heart. I can hear the guitar softly strum outside the window to your room. Every time you come around I wonder how you dance around the implications, and they just smile and wave wh...

Skipping school and kissing in your front yard, I'm not in love with you, no I just want to hold you in the dark. Make you wish you were never born. Behind the bleachers at the game that night, you know I wanted you that way. Now that I hold you in my arms so...

Well if the night belongs to lovers, I will have the day. Put my arms on the back of my head as you walked away. I've been lookin' at you, you ain't lookin' back. You've been playin' tricks on my heart and I'm wonderin' where your head's at. I've been asking y...

Punk rock baby on a cold Winter night, no one can stop you now. Do your hair up right and wait for him now, I can't imagine how you could ever fall in love, when he treats you like you're any other girl. As your dress falls to the floor, he looks at you like h...

I’ve been thinking ‘bout that evening, darling. We walked further than I thought we would. You looked at me like I was your answer. I looked at you like you meant something. Do you miss me? Why don’t you call me? No, he’s not home. Did I tell you how I missed...

Runnin’ down the stairs. You’re runnin’ out the door. Shout at all your friends runnin’ up the hill. Hold me in your arms, let your long hair down. Can you feel the weight pulling on the chain? Around your heart, a burning love. Feel the flame. Around your hea...

Runnin' down the stairs, your runnin' out the door. Shout at all your friends runnin' up the hill. Hold me in your arms, let your long hair down. Can you feel the weight, pullin' on the chain wrapped around your heart? A burning love, feel the flame around you...

s it the ghost outside your window, or is it the trees in the wind? I ain’t a monster, I ain’t a vampire, so why won’t you let me in? Do you think that you can go back to the haunted room where I loved you? You wear a mask around the people that you are hiding...

If you have doubts, honey, keep them too yourself. If you have doubts, honey, put them on the shelf. When I fly to California, will you meet me up in the air? I've got a bad way of turning things into what they're not, and into your arms I'm falling anytime I...

It's almost Friday night, and I don't love you anymore. I'd tell you why, but what would I do that for? I could cry, or lie, but I can't find love in the darkness of my heart. I dreamt that I was a bird. I dreamt I was the sun, and I would rise in the morning,...

I've been thinkin' a lot, how I held you in my heart, and I whipped you back and forth. Thinkin' of you there, with your hair curled up just right, you didn't need me that night. Dancin' in the moonlight I can almost feel you breathin down my neck as we move a...

I'm in love with you, but I can't stand the way you look at me, or how you kiss me when you hold me tight. I do not know just how I feel tonight. When you tell me that you think that it's a crime to hold your love so tight. Darlin' when you look in my eyes som...

I didn’t know I could find a love like yours: Fluttering, floating around me. All the things that we dreamed about before come out in whispers when we speak. I didn’t know what I wanted you to say, but all the distance floats away. As I gaze into your eyes, th...

I don’t know if you got my letter. I don’t know if your cheeks got redder. I don’t know if you feel better, but I know that I’m alright. I don’t know if your friends are there. I don’t know if they’d even care. I don’t know if you feel it in the air, but I kno...

What do you want? Do you know what you're looking for? Where you been? Kiss me again! Oh how our memories disappear like tears in rain, oh how I wanted you to say, "Put you're hands on me!" Make me feel like I'm more human than human. You said now that you're...

I think I'm fallin' in love with you, I've been lookin' all over you I've been lookin' for a sign. The way you pick on me makes me think that you're in, but are you playin' hard to get? Do you even think about it? I guess that's the problem. I know I'm driv...

I was looking for a way out, and you were keeping me on my toes. I didn’t want to let you know I made a wish it was impossible. When I called you, I didn’t mean it as The Call to you, I didn’t think you would read into the little words I sang into your ear, oh...

...And when I look out my window, I see the leaves falling from the trees. I see the trash blow through the street. I see a distant bolt of lightning. I see the raindrops slowly start to fall. I see the big cloud up above. I see the way your body language chan...

Dust on my bookshelf. Talking to myself. I wonder more each day if it matters. If I go insane, will we notice? Walk to your new place. Read it all over your face. When will you decide to memorize my number? If they lock you inside will you call out my name? Lo...

The sign was faded blue and white, the windows painted over. the halls inside fill up with light, if only in your head. All your favorite bands were on the corner singing for you. They knew your name and everything. They knew that you were dead. Though you wer...

When I saw you from across the room, I didn’t care about your name. No this ain’t another love affair. You know I don’t want to play the game. Even when I said I liked your band, I didn’t give a second glance. Now my eyes keep on meeting your eyes, and though...

The rain came down all night, and I don't mind. Is love all you want to find in the pale moonlight? We've been waiting all our lives, hoping it will arrive, there's tears in your eyes and I don't know why you cry. Our song crackles around the dial, but I can h...

Love, it happens all the time. It's cruel and undefined. The wedding ring, the songs we sing. Fall into someone's arms, submit to their charms. When you lie, you look them in the eye and say "I do. I hope I die with you. I just want you all to myself." No movi...

Steps that we retrace up and down the block. It's not a disgrace, I am not afraid. He was a good man, he took the trash out. With all that surrounds him, he got his bed made. I used to dream I'd save you, I used to dream you'd know my name. I used to dream I'd...

Is it enough to be in love? I don't want to die alone... I want us to fall in love! but you won't pick up the phone. I don't want to know why I'm not the one... Even the rain that falls from my heart cannot begin to start to wash away all of the loneliness tha...

Me and Annie were sitting in the car, we were playing the tape you made. There were some songs that I wouldn’t have chosen, but all in all, we both agreed that it was pretty great. We weren’t really talking about anything; we felt pure and unadulterated. I wou...

I think a bomb went off the day you were born. Somewhere in the world, somebody died. I think they know just what you're like. I think you aren't too cruel to be mine. I didn't change for good this time. I didn't lie, I said I was fine. I didn't walk out of yo...

Nothing Nice to talk about. One more hit and then I'm out. Past the closed down comic book shop and the restaurant you like, nothing nice came out our mouths. I love to just shut up. Lifetime since I saw you last. Been some good times, been some bad. There's a...

Come what may, I don't think i want to stay. I'm dreaming in different ways. I'm looking right at your face. Don't say it isn't so. I don't think I want to go. Your glasses in the snow. Wet hair that softly glows. I wanted to shout it out. Tell you how I think...

Grape on the vine. Pick off the fruit. Stomp it into wine. Out wasting time. Spreading the news down the telephone line. Nothing seems to stop you. I can't seem to hold your attention. Even though you like me, you think that I waste my potential. Younger than...

Tell me what you're thinkin' of, cuz I know how you feel in your heart. You think I'm all that you want, but I don't even know who you are. Your knees shake next to mine, but our hearts beat out of time. We are just fools in your backyard, we are brave from th...

Dreaming of the last time that you said you wanted to dance. No you don’t ask me anymore. Maybe you’re just tired when you get home from work, or maybe you’d rather be dancing with someone else. Every time he calls you I can hear a change in your breath, your...

I've been telling you the same thing every morning when I wake up with your picture in my mind. As I tiptoe around the cracks in all the time that we spent, I've been filling in the lines. All the lights went out when you came down the stairs, I didn't think t...

When my stereo breaks, who will I turn to, when love walks out the door? When my speakers blow out, who will ask me to dance? When you smile, will I feel it anymore? I try not to lose my breath, but the nights gettin' colder. You can try to play it cool, take...

You never follow. You never follow through. That just ain't like you, no it ain't like you. We move different up in my apartment. Kissing you is easy, yeah that part is easy. I can't control the way I feel, you just wanted something real. You tell him everythi...

I don't know your face, don't know your kind, but I've been feeling like I know your every thought, your every crime, and I don't want to lose it. I don't know how, but my big cloud is lifting now. Sleeping in the van I understand that I just might be dreaming...

Grab the keys. Get in the car. Not too slow baby, I don't want to be gone too long. We'll drive all morning, to the trailer on the lake. I promise not to swim too far if you promise to hold my hand. Your cousin Tony smokes like a chimney, she is a very tough g...

I really want you to stay, I really do but I can't find the words to say, "Oh baby, don't go away!" Your hands on my hips, and my lips on your face. No I don't want to slow down, don't put me in the doghouse, I'm gonna sing it out loud: "PLEASE THRILL ME!" You...

I don't mind when you laugh at me and call me names, but do you think that I'm less than your burning flame? I don't think that I'll mind your cigarette lips, and oh when I kiss you on the mouth, I don't mind. 

I think I'm gonna give it all up. Why do people have to love people anyway? Broken mirror makes you look how you feel. You love me, but you don't love me that way. It's in the way you look when you're sad, it's in the way your eyes look past. It's in the way y...

When the boxes full of clothes and records stop weighing you down, when the only thing left in your bedroom is some pennies on the ground, when you’ve sold off all your furniture, and you’re headed out of town, I will be the only bad dream in your sleeping hou...

It gets so hot in your room, so we just lay around. I won't know if I'm dreaming until you make a sound. No I'm not in love with you, I just want to stare into your eyes. I don't want to feel this doubt, I just want to dream about your eyes. 

It’s a long way down, and we’re so far away from your old house. There’s nobody around. Kiss you on the forehead and undo your blouse. Drifting out, drifting through the water. Through the sound, swim to me now. Long way down, I can feel you fall. Hear me now,...

You've got the softest lips in town. I spent the last few years figuring that out. I have found you there, standing with your hair in a knot, I could be the boy that you wish that you forgot. 6 O'clock on a Thursday, riding through the west side Sunshine hits...

Walls are cavin' in. Shoes are wearin' thin. Can you feel the wind blowin' on your skin? Tag me in again. I won't say "when," just tag me in again. 

You’re giving me the eye. I don’t think I’ll ever die. Reliving every single night, has this really been my life? I watch the rising of the tide, I’ve never seen it get this high. I can’t ever let it lie. Are you really on my side? 

I can't see the ground from here, the fog it blinds my eyes and you disappear. Your face, your eyes, I die, I fall apart. I'm afraid that you'll be stuck in my heart tonight. Why can't I be happy on my own? I feel you in every muscle, every bone. Do we love, o...

I was watching the news from the movie theater bar and daydreaming of you. No I’ve never been good at paying attention, but I’m learning to. With my eyes glued, I’m watching the tube, but I’m not listening. Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and fi...

I've heard enough of the shit you're talking. You love your own voice, you're damn near screaming. The people at the show just walk in acting like they understand how we're feeling. We watch each other's eyes, wondering the entire time: Would you save me in th...

The Songs You Like will never sound as good to you as they did under the blood red summer moon. Yeah the songs you like are getting older every day. Same trouble you find every time you wake. But will you go out there with a guitar in your hand? Singing a song...

My dad lost his job at the radio station but he still loves rock 'n' roll. My mom lost her job when she got cancer, but she still loves hard work, she still loves people. Tyler lost his job at the pizza shop, he still loves eating pizza. I don't mind this worl...

I didn't think that you even knew my name, I just assumed that you wouldn't care. I know that all of the boys seem just the same: shy, arrogant, and a little scared, but I knew. I knew that you were there, waiting in back of me. I knew that you would find some...

I found a way to make you love me. My words flow like blood through your body. No I'm not alright, don't stay here tonight. You are beautiful, but I still want to die. Ride my bike past the graveyard. I'm not going home until after dark. I want to believe, but...

How do you know what we're holding? How do you know what we'll say? You got the time, pigs? 

I guess you didn’t think we would notice your pretty eyes staring us down. Your love washes over us in waves. Mikey and Jon, sitting at the piano, sing, “You’re the talk of the town!” Your love is swimming through all of our days. You’re the Venus of the avenu...

Know what you're gonna say before you come out to meet me. Look into my face when I say I trust you completely. Tell me I'm the only one you're telling it's a secret. Will you find me hiding in the shade with him? No, I'm not hiding, but I don't ever want to b...

It’s been a very long time since I felt like I do tonight. For the first time it feels right that I’m in love with you. I never looked at you this way until I saw you today, in every line in your face, I’m in love with you. It’s not fair to you what I put you...
