Jimmy Eat World - Static Prevails Album Lyrics

Episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're (looking to).
i can see the light leading away from you.
let's disappear,
we'll take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm,
cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we're sure) you tell time in your.
episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're (looking to).
let's disappear,
both take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm,
cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we'll show) and tell time one more time.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we'll show) and tell time to your friends.

Pay attention.
Stop playing for regret.
Fossil resources all used up.
Make the best use of your time.
You could be on to something.
Too skeptic, too tired to care.
When they all seem to know at once.
Sweet muse left me all alone.
There's only dead weight left.
Euthanasia could be the gift.
Save the long car ride home.
Don't leave the house today.
Nothing lost but still nothing gained.
No possibilities.
All wasted all gone over.
Life means I hear my ears ring one more day.
When they all seem to know at once.
Sweet muse she won't be around today.
Things that I could not say.
Are you through yet?
Are you gone yet?

A monster lives in your backyard.
the 2x4's are making their way around.
the big get bigger when the fight's done.
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down
to find out where it feeds.
a house.
a catalog full of nothing good.
the white house ponders no remourse.
the big get bigger when the fight's done.
i found that secret door.
a man with a shovel's gonna dig deep down
to find out where it feeds.
a house.
it seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands.
it's in your name it's in your face i'm wrong again.

The longest time away.
think last time the friends we made.
the longest time away.
best friend is too cheap to stay.
of course i'll go with you, not every day i get to.
of course i'll stay with you, how often.
pictures tell so much.
they remind me often.
your voice brings back so much... situations.
between the money and your every move, acceptance.
between the money and your every move.
we both know things never change.
we both know static prevails.
take a seat at your request.
five years i'm still there.
the longest time away, my friend.

Fingers in, listen what voices say.
you always wrote for me, ego.
risk worth taking risk worth leaving.
seems i'm still afraid to promise.
too big to stop too big to hold on to.
trade up for the fast ride.
trade your friends.
train passes us.
pulling your teeth you push away.
cancel plans, cancel them all.
check your breath for cold and hold on.
please hold on.
no pictures left to burn good-bye to.
the smell of ash and white walls blank.
phase passes us.
horizontal lines and button up.
the drawers of paper all say one thing.
like music boxes custom made.
time passes us.
don't move.
be still.
be silent.

Falling off this cycle
and it really ticks me off
when you calculate this time and place.
looking over shoulders,
can always be like what
it seems when you were left to my old man.
i am why you bring me here,
tear these cloths down when we fight.
back around these towers.
like something you don't want to see.
like yesterday when you were found.
adding up misfortunes can always seem like
holidays when you were sent to be the one.
i am why you bring me here tear
these cloths down when we fight.
it's over they found me they made (beat) me.
i can't believe they knew it we blew it,
our fortunes have been retrieved
by humans who knew me they
used me to get what's mine.
they'll never replace me.
i'll be back.
i want revenge.

Don't leave without intentions of ever coming back.
vacation. you take them if you wanted you'd ask them.
alone i'm outside.
red sky, i wait there.
snowfall above me.
so new yet fading.
graveyard.
run around or jump the fence.
don't leave without intentions of ever coming back.
