Matt Skiba – Continental by Alkaline Trio Acoustic 2016

I’ve got a dying urge to feel the way you do
Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
The shortest breath of your young life
A long walk home on Friday night
You made one last stop at the store

So close to perfect, swear to hell, thought it was you
This bouncing baby boy’s now turning baby blue
I’ve got your pictures on my walls
I’ve got a long list of calls I must make to your existing family

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ’em up
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

I often wonder what it feels like to be you
A mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
Wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die without lying to myself

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ’em up
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ’em up
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

Matt Skiba & The Sekrets “You” Video

Its alive once again
I feel it pounding in my chest and it hurts like it should
A sharp pain that feels so good
With your arms ā€˜round my neck leaving me a melting wreck
Now with you by my side I can breathe once again I have nothing to hide

And You – I watched you dancing, you
Out of the ashes, you – dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
You – dying for your kiss I canā€™t imagine my life without you

Its alive once again
I feel it pounding in my head and it kills all the pain
Itā€™s been powerless vicodin with your hands on my face
Pulling me out of my hiding place with your mouth upon mine
I can breathe once again I do nothing but smile

And you – I watched you dancing
You – out of the ashes, you – dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
you – Iā€™m dying for your kiss I canā€™t imagine my life without you

Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
youā€™re the name of the place where time stands still
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
Dismembering this memory its true, I lost myself in you

You – I watched you dancing you
You – out of the ashes
You – Dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You – ya found me hopeless
You – ya gave me solace
you – Iā€™m dying for your kiss, I canā€™t imagine my life without you

Iā€™ve got a book of matches Iā€™ve got a can of…

Iā€™ve got a book of matches Iā€™ve got a can of kerosene
Iā€™ve got some mad ideas involving you and me
I donā€™t blame you for walking away I touched myself at thoughts of flames
I shat the bed and laid there in it thinking of you wide awake for days
Wide awake for days

And I found you tongue-tied, my twisted little brain
You couldnā€™t crack a smile I didnā€™t catch your name
I donā€™t blame you for walking away Iā€™d do the same if I saw me
I swear itā€™s not contagious in four short steps we can erase this

Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop off at Edge brook Creek and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnā€™t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one

Iā€™m like a broken record Iā€™ve got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I donā€™t blame you for walking away Iā€™d do the same if I saw me
I swear itā€™s not contagious I swear to God itā€™s not contagious

Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnā€™t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

This could be love
(Love for fire)
This could be love
(Love for fire)
This could be love for fire for ever more

Step one, slit my throat step two, play in my blood
Step three, cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four, stop at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldnā€™t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one

Choking slowly, broken heartedDonā€™t look now, hereā€™s…

Choking slowly, broken hearted
Donā€™t look now, hereā€™s what you started
I swore Iā€™d be there ā€˜til the end, weā€™re bitter now but better friends
I climbed out limbless to the ledge to bask in my last true regret

You had time to waste and Iā€™m not sorry, such a basket…

You had time to waste and Iā€™m not sorry,
such a basket case, hide the cutlery.
I had time to kill, itā€™s dead and buried.
Youā€™ve got guts to spill but no one trustworthy.

There are things that used to make me smile One of them was you…

There are things that used to make me smile
One of them was you for just a little while
You left me for dead so far away
I replaced you with fear and shame
Youā€™ll be happy on the day I die

There are things that used to make me laugh
But now theyā€™re deeply buried in the past
I left them there so far away
Replaced my humor with my pain
Iā€™ll be happy on the day it dies

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

There are things that used to make you cry
One of them was me for just a little while
Why is it that you had to say
Goodbye in your special way
You slashed the tires on my car

Remember when I said I love you
Well, forget it I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said

Remember when I said I love you
Well, go ahead I take it back
I was just a stupid kid back then
I take back every word that I said
