Lets stay up late and plan tomorrow night
With thickening plots and twisting story lines
And we'll keep lighting matches till the ocean's dry
We'll laugh at the heroes and scoff at the saints
Putting out the fire as we dance in the flames
Because they still believe that our souls can be saved
But you are the poison that can bring me back to life
You taught me wrong can be more fun than right
And i'd rather be a sinner than never feel alive
You and me, as thick as thieves
Knots and locks could never hold me back
Because grit makes up for all the things i lack
You could bend me or the rule and still i wouldn't crack
Because i'd rather be a scoundrel or a con
And i'd rather take than be taken from
Then i'd always be victorious when all is said and done
But you are the poison that can bring me back to life
You taught me wrong can be more fun than right
And i'd rather be a sinner than never feel alive
You and me, as thick as thieves
And they'll put a sign that says vacant on our door
And we'll trade all that we have for gold
I don't care where i live as long as i'm with you
When i grow old
You and me, as thick as thieves
You are the poison that can bring me back to life
You taught me wrong can be more fun than right
And i'd rather be a sinner than never feel alive
You and me, as thick as thieves
Thick as thieves

You let me in, then you shut me out
You scream but i don't know what about
You stare me down until i blink
Your voice is so loud that i can't think
Would you regret
All the time that we spent
If i slowly start slipping away
And i'm losing my mind
Trying to leave you behind
But the words, they sound absurd
I just can't follow
Sometimes its so wrong that its right
But the world's not black and white
And i'm getting lost in the color
You raise me high, then you let me down
I can't see clearly when you're around
You hold me till i start to shake
And i don't know if its a mistake
Where are the days
When you'd smile and you'd say
That you would never have to let me go
And i try not to cry
As i swallow my pride
But the voice inside my head says
Please don't bother
Sometimes its so wrong that its right
But the world's not black and white
And i'm getting lost in the color
I never wanted to end like this
I didn't want to say goodbye
I never wanted you to miss me
But you can see that my hands are tied
I never wanted to end like this
I didn't want to say goodbye
I never wanted you to miss me
I
Would never do
Anything to hurt you
But i know that in the end
it just won't matter
Sometimes its so wrong that its right
But the world's not black and white
And i'm getting lost in the color
I'm getting lost in the color

Wish i were tough
But you could break me words or stone
If i were enough
Maybe i'd never be alone
And you fought so hard to see just who i am
And i just fought
But now you're sure of who i'm not
But i'm sorry for trying
When you were on the fence
I just thought giving up
Was the same as giving in
But you taught me the hard way
Never to let go
Summer nights in October
I guess next time i'll know
There's no excuse
Not the distance or the fare
And its no use
Because in the end we didn't care enough
Expectations come at quite a cost
Because in the end all that you've lost
Is faith
And you'll never be the same
But i'm sorry for trying
When you were on the fence
I just thought giving up
Was the same as giving in
But you taught me the hard way
Never to let go
Summer nights in October
I guess next time
I'll know better than to try
Hard to keep something alive
That so obviously died
The moment that we said goodbye
For now, you meant forever
I guess next time, i'll know better
But i'm sorry for trying
When you were on the fence
I just thought giving up
Was the same as giving in
But you taught me the hard way
Never to let go
Summer nights in October
I guess next time i'll know
I guess next time i'll know
