I may not be here tomorrow but if I am 
well then bad luck cause I'll still be 
dancing around in this ditch of a town 
trying to fuck things up 

and I want you to know that I love you 
and in the end, I always will 
but you've got so cold 
my prediction is fact 
? 
brings the friction

now all I can hear is the moans and the breaths 
of you and your lover, and you are with another now 

Verse: 
go, lalalala 

I'll always remember the summer of a long weekends and 
making dens, the city as the sky turned bland 
the sick and sly and sleight of hand 

the quiet revelations in the blistering cold 
the many ? of the lies I sadly told 
that never meant to hurt you dears 
the gripping and the grinning from ear to ear

repeat this in the last 2 verses as well. (although it sounds slightly lacking without  
the piano in the background, probably why he doesn't play this live) 

all of these good times and memories 
made me feel like a victim of teenage TV 
and every time you start your flowery speech 
I expect to hear Death Cab start three feet behind me 

cause your walking the walk and dreaming the dream 
but it feels like you're living the fucking OC 
and the twists and turns and the lessons learned 
are the plot lines of rich kids with money to burn
