Tigerblood

The kids 'round here stuck in their teens
Chasing the notion that's in between
The feeling you get when you're hypnotized
And the feeling you get looking in snake eyes

It's not what you want, that's the way that it seems
Turning up while you turn up your jeans
It's harder to see when you're improvised
And it's harder to run when you feel tongue-tied

By the yes and the no, that helps you let go
And feel alright for days

Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "hellos" and "we won't let gos"
The heart's in between the X's and O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood

Is it real, is it not and do I mind?
Is it everything you hoped to find?
Turned to me and then replied
Is it just so wrong to fantasize
About the times when we felt alive?
Holding up, holding out, holding on for the ride
Screaming, "Oh my God!" looking to the skies
Wanna feel, wanna love, wanna recognize

That the things I don't miss, make me reminisce
And feel alright for days

Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "hellos" and "we won't let gos"
The heart's in between the X's and O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood

Tell me what you wanted
And then tell me how to be it
Through the constant "hellos" and "we won't let gos"
The heart's in between the X's and O's
Tell me when it's okay
Hiding happiness in clichés
Drop me down to my knees, fill my memories
Because we all need a little bit of tigerblood
