When Bad News Gets Worse

(album: How To Get Out Alive - 2006)

This is not the way I saw anything happening
I'm only older, screaming over destiny tonight (destiny tonight)
Don't hear my laugh echoing through your jealousy
I just hear my voice, I just hear my voice

This is not the way I saw anything happening
We spent our summers hanging under flickering street lights (flickering street lights)
Nowadays there's nothing on the radio
I just hear your voice, I just hear your voice

Come on and jump in the fire, the first one's on me
Feel the burn of missing every opportunity
If you stand the heat, we can play loud enough you'll agree
You haven't seen the last of me

I'd send my best if you would ever call me back
I made friends with snakes then I made love to my disguise (love to my disguise)
I don't have a chance, this song and dance will bury me
I don't have a choice, I don't have a choice

Come on and jump in the fire, the first one's on me
Feel the burn of missing every opportunity
If you stand the heat, we can play loud enough you'll agree
You haven't seen the last of me

Not selling movie rights so think again
Not selling anything tonight
This whole place is filled with ornaments
Hollowed out and made to shine
If certainty is what you make of this
I certainly won't make believe
The calm before the storm is running strong
I just hear my voice (I just hear my voice)
I just hear my voice

Jump in the fire, the first one's on me
Feel the burn of missing every opportunity
If you stand the heat we can play loud enough you'll agree
Play loud enough
Come on and jump in the fire, the first one's on me
Feel the burn of missing every opportunity
If you stand the heat, we can play loud enough you'll agree
Play hard enough you'll agree
You'll never see the last of me
