Arlandria

Ain't that the way it always starts?
A simple round of conversation
Became a shameful equation
I flip to station to station

Hey, don't go and turn the other way
Don't say there's nothing more to say
Come on and hear me out
Hush, hush, settle down
Button up, don't make a sound
Shame, shame, go away
Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been saving it up
I started saving it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started giving you up
I started giving you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop!

Chase all of those memories away
Save them all for another day
Don't you remember it was rain that drowned you?

Wait!
I wanna see if you could change
I wanna keep all I can take
I feel much better now
Use me up, spit me out
Let me be your hand me down
Fame, fame, go away
Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been saving it up
I started saving it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started giving you up
I started giving you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop!

My sweet Virginia
I'm the same as I was in your arms
My sweet Virginia
I'm the same as I was in your heart

Shame, shame, go away
Come again some other day
Memories keep haunting me
Help me chase them all away

Hush now, settle down
Button up, don't make a sound
Close your eyes, turn around
Help me burn this to the ground

Come now, take the blame
That's ok, I'll play the game
I don't care, it's all the same
Watch you all go up in flames

Use me up, spit me out
Let me be your hand me down
Fame, fame, go away
Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been saving it up
I started saving it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started giving you up
I started giving you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop!

My sweet Virginia
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop!
My sweet Virginia
Oh, God, you gotta make it stop!
