Fuck Yeah Elizabeth and the Catapult

Elizabeth & The Catapult - My Goodbye

My Goodbye

I lit a match and watched it come, to life
A tiny hell before my very eyes
Oh my future was in my hand, Whether to save you,
Or let you burn instead
…
I never meant to let you fall, so hard,
I never meant to push you down, so far,
And nothing, ever turns out the way we plan,
The way we imagine, inside our heads
…
And I’m not asking for forgiveness,
I’m not expecting your reply
Every story has an ending,
Oh and this was yours and mine,
I was a pawn inside the battle,
From the day that you arrived,
This is my goodbye
…
Sometimes it’s hard to set your eyes, to all you know,
Sometimes it’s hard to let the facts, unfold,
Oh my, if only to fall again,
Oh and let you down easy,
Seconds to the end
…
ooooh
…
And I’m not asking for forgiveness,
I’m not expecting your reply,
Every story has an ending,
Oh and this was yours and mine,
I was a pawn inside the battle,
From the day that you arrived,
And this is my, this is my goodbye,
Ooh, this is my goodbye,
Ooh, this is my

Elizabeth & The Catapult - Hit The Wall

Hit the Wall

I’ve got 500 reasons to get upset
But I’d rather laugh it off then go and make a mess
Got a whole lotta demons acting up in my head
But I refuse to cut a deal just yet

…

Oh no, when the world is dragging me down again
Yes I know, yes I know I can turn things around my friends

…

But I hit the wall again
I hit the wall again
No more imagining, think I hit the wall again
I don’t know how it started or how it’s gonna end
But I feel it rising, rising, rising

…

And I got no more money for the penny arcade
It never stopped me from playing
I haven’t found my way across this wild parade
It never stopped me from dreaming

…

Oh no, when the world is dragging me down again
Yes I know, yes I know I can turn things around my friends
But I hit the wall again
I hit the wall again
No more imagining, I hit the wall again

I’d rather be doing just about anything

than what I am doing at this moment

Rather be fooling just about anyone

than who I am fooling at this moment

…

Like a preacher who lost his faith

I just can’t find the heart to say,

I’d rather be anywhere anyway than to give up another day

putting up with you, at this moment

Oh at this moment

…

Rather be hearing just about anything

than what you are feeling at this moment

Rather be thinking just about anything

than how to believe in you at this moment

…

Out with the girls on 1^st avenue

Drinking away our imaginary blues

I’d rather be anywhere anyway than to give up another day

putting up with you, oh at this moment

oh at this moment

…

Don’t you know truelove comes and go

Oh how to break the news

When you’ve lost it, at this moment

…

Cause I’d rather be doing just about anything at this moment

I’d rather be fooling just about anyone

La la la la la la la…

Oh oh oh oh… at this moment

From this moment on.

Sounds to me we’re like a worn out tune

Oh so sweet oh so blue

We know all the words but we miss the cue

Oh so sweet oh so blue

Place a needle on the jagged line

Play that record baby one more time

Sounds to me we’re like a worn out tune

…

Looks to me like you’re just passing through

Here today gone too soon

Found in the morning and we’re lost by noon

Here today gone too soon

Close the curtains and I’ll make you mine

Dance this song baby one more time

Sounds to me were like a worn out tune

…

I’m not afraid of what to say

So tell me once again, I wasn’t listening the first time

I’m not afraid of what you are, my enemy my friend

You’re just enough to wrap my head around

I’m not afraid of what I love

Baby all the saddest songs we sing

Are the ones we just can’t get enough

The ones we just can’t get enough of

For once we just can’t get enough

…

Sounds to me we’re like a worn out tune

All the clichés they all have been abused

So hide the staff and pour the wine

Lift our glasses baby one more time

Sounds to me we’re like a worn out tune

…

I’m not afraid of what to say

So tell me once again, I wasn’t listening the first time

I’m not afraid of what you are, my enemy my friend

You’re just enough to wrap my head around

I’m not afraid of what I love

Baby all the saddest songs we sing

Are the ones we just can’t get enough

The ones we just can’t get enough of

For once we just can’t get enough

…

Sounds to me we’re like a worn out tune

All the clichés they all have been abused

…

I’m not afraid of what to say

So tell me once again, I wasn’t listening the first time

I’m not afraid of what you are, my enemy my friend

You’re just enough to wrap my head around

I’m not afraid of what I love

Baby all the saddest songs we sing

Are the ones we just can’t get enough of

The ones we just can’t get enough

For once we just can’t get enough

Alright? Alright!

Well you take yourself so serious

You take yourself so serious

What else are you supposed to do

The chaos seems to follow you around

…

And you take yourself so serious

You take yourself so serious

If you ever think you claim to be

You should know there’s plenty more to see

…

And the critics never get it

Girls never get it

If no one ever gets it

At least you made the most of it

…

It’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

It’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

If you laugh first

If you laugh first

…

And you take yourself so serious

You take yourself so serious

Love will only get you so far

You weren’t put on this planet to smoke no damn cigar

…

And you take yourself so serious

You take yourself so serious

If you never see the light

Maybe you gotta bleed a little first

To get this story right, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh  ooh ooh…

…

And if the critics never get it

Girlfriend never gets it

If no one ever gets it

At least you made the most of it

…

It’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

and it’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

and It’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

and It’s a great big world, it’s true

No ones gonna laugh at you

…

You know you gotta laugh at yourself first

You know you gotta laugh at yourself

You know you gotta laugh at yourself first

You know you gotta laugh at yourself

You know you gotta laugh at yourself first

You know you gotta laugh at yourself

You know you gotta laugh at yourself

You know you gotta laugh at yourself first…

They told me to forgive him, forgive him for his sins

brush my grieve and sunder and start it all again

They told me to forget him, and all that he had done

If you can’t take out the poison, better cover up and run

 …

Now I’m patient, patient with my time

cause revenge is oh so hard to find

Just a good good girl with a troubled mind

Troubled mind, troubled mind

Troubled- good good good good good good girl deep inside

…

Stacked up all the reasons, forty stories high

Fended off all my demons and waited by and by

but just when I decided that everything was right

I lost all my ambition and withdrew into the night

…

Now I’m spineless, cowardly and blind

But revenge is oh so hard to find

Now I’m spineless, cowardly and blind

But revenge is oh so hard to find

…

Just a good good girl with a troubled mind

Troubled mind, troubled mind

Troubled mind, troubled mind

Troubled mind, troubled mind

Troubled mind…

Thank you for everything;
Thank you for nothing.
My brother, there is no in-between;
Never one without the other.

I may not know anything
But I think I’m onto something.
For every door opening,
There’s another one slowly closing.

Thank you for loving me;
Thank you for leaving.
Thank you for promising
And then promptly forgetting.

For the gifts that were given
Just to be taken for granted
Studied indifference
Care turned to careless,
Once disenchanted.

For the glass that was filled
Then just as easily broken.
Thank you for everything and thank you for nothing.
Thank you for nothing.

Thank you for trusting me
And then biting the bullet.
Thank you for laughing out loud
Even when you don’t mean it.

They say hurting is growing
If you believe when you say it.

So I’ll just keep saying it:
Thank you, thank you.
I’ll just keep saying it:
Thank you, thank you.

I’ll just keep saying it:
Thank you, thank you.
I’ll just keep saying it:
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for everything and thank you for nothing at all.
Thank you for nothing at all.
Thank you for nothing at all.

Elizabeth & the Catapult - “Thank You for Nothing” (via adaringadventure)

If ever I do hurt you

Make your willows bend

If ever I deceive you

Darling, do not hang your head

…

If ever I betray you

Cast shadows on your light

I pray that you may pardon

and forgive me by and by

Oh my, baby cast another line

Oh my, baby cast another line

…

Cause in our greatest conquest

We are but failed attempts

At the heroes we once dreamt of

when we were children in our beds

…

And in our greatest triumph

We cannot shake the fear

That the ones that we most treasure

May had any given second disappear

my dear, may you never disappear

my dear, may we never disappear

…

Cause we are all just animals living in the wild

but we too can be civil friends

I’d like to try that now

I’d like to try that now

…

Cause I know that I don’t deserve you

But if I ever dare forget

May you help my heart remember

and bring me home again

Elizabeth and the Catapult - I Can Always Dream

I Can Always Dream

I have far too many wishes to recount

Waiting in the clouds for me

Something so much greater to be found

Drifting in and out of reach

and it’s laughing and teasing

till I can’t help believing

and it’s laughing and teasing

till I can’t help believing

…

That perhaps this star

us still too young to wish on

and perhaps this moon

is still too faint to see

Perhaps our sweet love

is not enough to live on

But I can always dream

I can always dream

…

I have far too many questions in my head

So much I could never tell

All the strange addictions left unfit

Left to gazed upon themselves

and they’re laughing and teasing

till I can’t help believing

and they’re laughing and teasing

till I can’t help believing

…

That perhaps this star

is still too young to wish on

and perhaps this moon

is still too faint to see

Perhaps our sweet love

Is not enough to live on

But I can always dream

Oh I can always dream
