Song lyrics
Out of the box, out of the kitchen. 
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of. 
So fearful of. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna to see you again, my friend. 
This is the end. 

Out of the house, she grabs the keys, 
Runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter. 

That way the impact will be much better. 
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of. 
So fearful of. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 
I don't ever wanna see you again. 

Why, oh why you wear sunglasses in the home 
when the sun went down about an hour ago? 
Why, oh why you wear sunglasses in the home 
when the sun went down about an hour ago? 
Life should not be that way. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 
Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces. 

Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces. 
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces. 
Weekend warriors, and our best friends. 
The writers weren't kidding about how 
all good things must end. 
Then again some things 
Then again some things are far too good 
Some things are far to good to go ahead and let go. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 
Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 
Speak now or forever hold your peace. 

We won't forget Tony or Johnny. 
No matter how they miss us they still wish us 
the best on the road. 
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France. 
Now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls. 
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace. 
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late Figure 8. 

Weekend warriors and our best friends. 
The writers weren't kidding about 
the good things will live in our hearts. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 

Always up or down, never down and out. 
You dream of demons while you sleep 
that make you stutter when you speak. 
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces.

this song reminds me of everything in my life.

The beginning defintitely reminds me of my mother. she lived in an abusive relationship for a long time.

and as for marriages falling apart, my mothers, my aunt's.

and friendships falling apart? ive lost friends to distance.

i love this song and william beckett is god.

this is the most amazing song ever. period.
i can't believe not many people have heard of TAI. or that pop hasn't killed every one of their songs like the radio did to FOB.
thank god that hasn't happened yet.

one of my favorite TAI songs. it seems like the song is talking about two completely different topics in the beginning and the end but it is still awesome.
