It feels like a perfect night
To dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
It feels like a perfect night
For breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers
Ah,ah,ah,ah
Yeah, we're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time

I walked through the door with you,
The air was cold
But something about it felt like home somehow
And I left my scarf there, at your sister's house
And you still got it in your drawer, even now.
Oh, your sweet disposition
And my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate.
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days.
All Too Well

Took a deep breath in the mirror.
He didn't like it when I wore high heels but I do.
Turn the lock and put my headphones on.
He always said he didn't get this song but I do.
I do.
Walked in expecting you'd be late.
But you got here early and you stand and wait.
I walk to you.
You pull my chair out and help me in.
Begin Again

All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know you better know you better now
I just want to know you know you know you
Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
Everything Is Changed

I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone
And Lord, it took me away
Back to a first glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme
Took off faster than a green light, go
Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
And that was the first day
Holy Ground

I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me
And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I Almost Do

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Red

Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait
We had...
A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad...
Beautiful, tragic love affair
Sad Beautiful Tragic

I said oh my, what a marvelous tune
It was the best night, never would forget how he moved
The whole place was dressed to the nines, and we were dancing dancing
Like we're made of starlight
Like we're made of starlight
I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
Picks me up, play one night at the window he was 17 and crazy, running wild wild
Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Starlight

I’m walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same
You come around and the armor falls
State Of Grace

I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
I threw my phone across the room at you
I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stayed
This morning I said we should talk about it
Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
And said okay let's talk
And I said...
Stay stay stay i've been loving you for quite some time time time
Stay Stay Stay

Gary Lightbody:
Found myself at your door,
Just like all those times before,
I’m not sure how I got there,
All roads they lead me here.
I imagine you are home,
In your room, all alone,
And you open your eyes into mine,
And everything feels better,
The Last Time

New to town with a made up name in the angel city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes, make it look like a dream.
You had it figured out since you were in school.
Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool.
So overnight you look like a sixties’ queen.
Another name goes up in lights, like diamonds in the sky.
And they’ll tell you now, you’re the lucky one.
The Lucky One

Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch
Out of focus, eye to eye
Till the gravity's too much
And I'll do anything you say
If you say it with your hands
And I'd be smart to walk away
But you're quick sand
This slope is Treacherous
Treacherous

I remember when we broke up, the first time
Saying this is it, I've had enough, 'cause like
We haven't seen each other in a month
When you, said you, needed space, what?
Then you come around again and say
Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me, remember how that lasted for a day
I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you
Oooh we called it off again last night
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
