The What's On Your Mind Thread and the Battle of Hogwarts

[Raven_the_Bird]

I cashed in all my chips tonight and combed my hair till it was just right.
'Cause I've been thinking about you and me girl, and we got something going on.
You told me you can't wait to see me and then you didn't bother to even show up.
This whole situation is incredibly typical, I should have seen it all along.

I should have seen it all along. I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make my think I'm better
Off at home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you baby.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You call me on the phone, and you don't even want to talk.
You're staring at me from across the room then turn your back when I walk up.
We got inches away, and I never even got close.
So leave your lipstick at home.
Don't pick up the phone.
Don't bother to look in my direction.

I should have seen it all along. I should have seen it all along.
It's girls like you that make me
think I'm better off home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you, baby.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Home on a Saturday night with all my doors locked up tight.
I won't be thinking about you, baby.

Forget everything you think you know about me.
(Forget everything you think you know about me.)
This isn't highschool, this isn't highschool
This isn't highschool, this isn't highschool
This isn't highschool, this isn't highschool
This isn't highschool, this isn't highschool

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Consider this a letter that I never sent
However inconsiderate it seems
Do you still consider me, consider me the boy you laughed with
Or that you learned to live without?...I suck, I know I'm late,
I know you waited

You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

My phone bills stacked up by my bedside,
With your picture, you're looking surprised
You're what makes New England so great
My island nights are all spent dying
Wait for summer to become wrought with lips,
My wishful thinking

You wouldn't get me on the phone
And you couldn't make me not alone
(Yeah you wouldn't get me)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(You wouldn't get me)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You wouldn't get me on the phone)
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's absolutely, definitely gone (definitely gone)

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I never thought this day would end (never thought this day would end)
I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me (close to me)
So let my hands stray past that boundaries of your back
To get you breathing (get you breathing)
And get this started (get this started)

You wouldn't get me, you wouldn't get me
You wouldn't get me on the phone
(Yeah, you wouldn't get me)
Yeah you're a blue eyed lightning bolt
(You wouldn't get me)
I'm a national phenomenon
(You couldn't make me not alone)
Nothing's absolutely definite til it's gone

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

So it's sad this doesn't suit you now
And me fresh out of rope
Please ignore this lisp
I never meant to sound like this

So take me and break me
And make me strong like you
I'll be forever grateful to this and you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Fix me to a chain around your neck
Wear me like a nickel
Even new wine served in old skins
Cheapens the taste

I shot the pilot,
I'm begging you to fly this for me
I'm here for you to use, broken and bruised
Do you understand?

It's only you, beautiful
Or I don't want anyone
If I can choose, it's only you

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Back in school, they never taught us what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair or someone breakin' your heart
For twelve years, I've held it all together
But a night like this is beggin' to pull me apart

I played it quiet left you deep in conversation
I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen
I remember, I kept thinking that I know you never would
And now I know, I want to kill you like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do
Everyone's caught on to

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick
In the small of my back
So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
'Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed
When you say best friends, means friends forever

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And it comes down to you
Never and ever
Wrecked his day with looks and flirts
And midnight in your shortest skirts

Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed
Thank her for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Stop the circulation to my legs and break my bones
Dateless and late, I'm better by myself at home
Past the point of trying, and I'm dying here
Secondary. She laughs at every word I know came out completely wrong

Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl

Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

And it's my last semester...
And brothers always come first
It's my last semester (It's my last semester)
At least until next winter (At least until next winter)
But I'm sure that I'll be over this by then

Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed
Thank her for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong

Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl

Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl
Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better
You put me down...
It's for the worse, you're not my girl

Better scenes...I wish she'd seen me
Better off if I just let it be
Better pretend it don't matter
I'd be better off if I could have her
Better days since the day I met her
I better hope she got my letters
Better off in two year stretches...

[Raven_the_Bird]

The only broken-hearted loser you'll ever need.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You and me we're kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
Walk around this town like we own the streets
And stay awake through summer like we own the heat

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Singing 'Everybody wake up it's time to get down'
(Wake up, everybody, everybody wake up it's time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
On the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
