So you cover up your bruises with
Protection from your thickest skin
You're so tough, you never hurt at all
And like a child, I made my choice
Pretending not to hear your voice
The pounding of my heart drowns out your calm
If I could turn back 13 days
Everything might be okay
And I wouldn't have to face myself like this
So you can't control what others do
And you don't know what I've been through
I know the answers, but still have to ask
Your resolve is iron clad
I'm flailing in between two bads
You can't seem to keep the past the past
If I could turn back 13 days
Everything might be okay
And I wouldn't have to face myself like this
No, not like this
I should have called, I should have come
To your house on that saturday
I've no excuse, I've nothing left to lose
Cause I've nothing without you
Bury my thoughts deep down beneath
Avert your eyes, Smile through my teeth
Bite down on the pain
Until it dissolves
Into my spine
Into my heart
Into my blood
If I could turn back 13 days
Everything might be okay
And I wouldn't have to face myself like this
No, not like this
I should have called, I should have come
To your house on that saturday
I've no excuse, I've nothing left to lose
Cause I've nothing without you

Oh, Manda
I hope you know it's me callin', Amanda
It's only four in the mornin'
I've done too much drinkin'
and way too much thinkin' of you
Oh, Manda
Can you hear what I'm thinkin', Amanda
Can you feel what I'm feelin' Oh, Manda
Is that the phone you're ignorin'?, Amanda
It's only four in the morning
The radio’s on, every damn song reminds me of you
I've done too much drinkin'
and way too much thinkin' of you
Oh Manda
That's not a party you're hearin', Amanda
It's just the TV is blarin',
And I saw your face in a movie, today
Lookin' stylish and groovy, And it's
Only my heart that I'm breakin'
Just my heart that I'm breakin'
It's only my smile that I'm fakin'
Just my smile
And I...
Heard a song in a movie today
About the way that we were
When the radio's on,
Every damn song reminds me of you
I've done too much drinkin'
and way too much thinkin' of you
And it's only my heart that I'm breakin'
breakin'
And it's only my smile that I'm fakin'
I'm fakin'
And it's only my heart that I'm breakin'
breakin'
And it's only my smile that I'm fakin'
I'm fakin'
Oh, Manda,
Can you hear what I'm thinkin, Amanda,
Is that the telephone ringin'?
When the radio's on,
Every damn song reminds me of you
I've done too much drinkin'
and way too much thinkin' of you
Oh, Manda
I hope you know it's me callin, Amanda,
It's only 4 in the morning

Three a.m., and you're walkin' home
with the street lights on
and the headlamp's glow
Half awake and you're barely alive
still ya can't remember
where did you go last night?
Where do you go to now?
You're tunin' out
I'm turnin' off
This show is almost over
Turn the radio down
I'm sick of hearin' the sound
of our life's soundtrack ending,
Girl
Wide awake in the same old dream
Like you had last night
awoke in a scream
All alone in the street lamp’s glow
And I'm in the shadows
I'm walkin' the other way
Why can't you walk away?
You're tunin' out
I'm turnin' off
This show is almost over
Turn the radio down
I'm sick of hearin' the sound
of our life's soundtrack ending,
Feelin' nothin' as you're findin' your way home
Thinkin' nothin' as you're findin' your way home
Feelin' nothin' as you're findin' your way home
Thinkin' nothin' as you're findin' your way home
Where do you go to now?
You're tunin' out
I'm turnin' off
This show is almost over
Turn the radio down
I'm sick of hearin' the sound
of our life's soundtrack ending,
You're tunin' out
I'm turnin' off
This show is almost over
Turn the radio down
I'm sick of hearin' the sound
of our life's soundtrack ending,
Girl
Hello and goodbye, girl

I tell a joke
You roll your eyes
I turn the other way and sigh
You spill a drink
Into my lap
I get so mad, you start to...
Maybe it’s better
Maybe it’s better if I go
It’s been such a long time
It’s been such a long time since you spoke
I wish you would stand up now
And tell me I should stay
The minute you want me to
We’re back around again
Every time we go a-round and around and around
The carousel
We’re not gaining any ground
Maybe it’s better
Maybe it’s better if we don’t
Wait any longer
Wait for the punchline to this
Running joke
Every time we’re on the phone
You know what you want
But I can’t force you to be you
Too many times, we try to
Figure this damn thing out
And do it again
And you ask me when…
When are you coming home?
Your heart is beating faster
Every time that I call your name
Your heart
Every time you breathe out
I wish you would stand up now and
Tell me I should stay
Your heart
There’s you and I
And no one else
The world could die
And we couldn’t tell
You say my name
I feel your skin
The perfect drug
I breathe you in
Breathe out, Breathe in (x3)
Breathe out
Your heart is beating faster
Every time that I call your name
Your heart
Every time you breathe out
I wish you would stand up now and
Tell me I should stay
Your heart
Breathe in
Breathe out
