The Unlikely Candidates Songs by First Lyrics

I could be the king, you're the queen in a dream, we could rule all day and night. It's never what it seems, everything is nothing unless it's you and I

I keep my heart under the floor boards, deep in the dark, far away from yours. A panic starts in a little box when you're at my door, and it's fine, no I lied, I feel it screaming, it knows what you've come for

The night's too young to leave you now, let's drink whiskey by the bottle, where you go is where I follow. I was lost, then you came round, are you my final destination, my final destination

Here's my confession, I've got a death wish, I'm in the fast lane, addicted to excess, living my best life, I was on top right, sipping the limelight, a deer in the headlights

And I just can't get you off my crazy mind, no, I just can't get you off my crazy mind, and I just can't get you off my crazy mind (One two three four five six seven eight nine ten, one two three four five six) I just can't get you off my crazy mind

Life is but a dream (a trip to find identity), I slouch like a monkey, I'm a physical being, that's why I called you up (to get down with you and share my cup), you say the feel of this is better than love

Maybe I should leave her, maybe I don't need her, maybe I was wrong, maybe she was right, maybe I believe her

An honest life, some peace at night, no need to hide, a mind that's right, these are all the things that I would've had if I never met you, a heart to beat, some blood to heat, these are all the things that I would've had

She's a ringer, put a ring, put a ring, put a ring around her finger, put a ring, put a ring, put a ring

There's an angel on the corner, honey, there's a devil on my knee, she's a good girl in the morning, she went out at night only for me

On a backstreet in the hardest part of time, I'm f**ked up 'cause you're no longer around
I listen for a heartbeat, and my mind breaks, 'cause I know I let you down, and I'm scared that what's lost cannot be found, I listen for your heartbeat

You know I gotta love you, our name is written in the streets (written in the streets). You are a force of nature, the fire's moving through your feet (moving through your feet)

There's a fork in the road in front of me, at the crossroads of identity, the Devil is standing to the left, he says "Either way, they both lead to death."

I am a man, not an animal, but my fangs drip when I hear your call, I break my chains and sink in your skin, sweet mindless love, I'm a beast again

I open my eyes now that I'm able, I traded my youth to sit at the table, night after night I can still feel the fight without you, this feeling is fatal

Sometimes I get so high so low, where did all my good friends go? Sometimes I get so high so low, where did all my good friends go?

There used to be an angel watching over me, but she left me when I drank from river of blood down in Biloxi. I used to see the light in the dark souls around me, but I traded all my life for some lovin' and some gold, down in Tennessee

Novocaine, I keep it coming so I feel no pain, I tell my girl that I'mma change my ways, she knows I'm never gonna change (change). Same old sh*t, runnin' my mouth until she busts my lip, so many problems, you can take your pick, I know I'm never gonna change (change)

Mom if you can hear me, I think I made it, 20,000 fans from the stage I'm standing on, I want you to know I appreciate it, one day I'll come home, we can celebrate. Mom I gotta go, the curtain's calling all the way from Rome, I'm really sorry, tell my little sister I said hey, one day I'll come home, we can celebrate

Hear me now, mark my words, sometimes living just takes some courage, when the sky is falling and the talking heads say "To sell some omelets gotta break some eggs"

You keep me guessin, I don't learn my lesson, you mean what you're sayin', but your eyes are keep changin' (changing)

I'm walking on a tightrope, with a blindfold trying to go slow, I can't see what's behind me, those melancholy memories

Don't ask me no questions, hello how are you, I don't know what to say, cause if I pretend and give you answer would you care anyway?

I miss the way that every drip would taste, the way you lasted on my tongue for days, you told me you hated your name, but I loved it like you love the rain

Stay up till the sun like an animal, fallin' down the stairs like a cannonball, you know I'm a gem, I'm intangible, I keep fallin' and fallin' but I'm infallible

Cry, baby, cry till the waters start to rise, won't wash away the problems that you made up in your mind. Cry, baby, cry till someday you realize, that it don't mean a thing, it's just drowning you inside

Stars, inside of your eyes, I'm tryin' to find the constellations. Smoke, cloud's all around me, wish I could see what you were thinking

My motivation stutters like a clutch, my heart, it works, but only for pumping blood, I watch the spider climbing up the wall, bet he's got a family or a girl that he can call

I have no memories, just feelings lingering, like a dog that's been kicked so many times that he's sick, bound to bite a hand and not know why

We both learned early life was not a fairy tale, we saw the American dream on fire sale, the buildings fell and ash spread the world 'round. Her parents loved the silence, mine lost her mind then her home, they fed us some pills and we faced our fears alone, we're searching the wasteland for something our own

Everybody's crazy for pretending they're not, used to be as kids, but I guess we forgot how many years does it take to unlearn? Life's just a game and it's just your turn. I look out the window at my old trampoline, forgotten and rusted like all of my dreams maybe the best thing that I can do is begin again and start things a new

She said she knew me by my tattoo, I said that maybe it was déjà vu, she says I think I'm gonna bite you, right through, does that excite you?

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus, though I knew it was my dad, I would hang up my stocking at Christmas, open my presents and I'd be glad, but the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store, a gang of kids came over and mugged me and knocked my reindeer to the floor
