I should have known this was a stupid idea
I should have known this was a stupid idea
So often I look back in deep regret
Too many things I've done I'd rather forget
And now again it's happening
I feel you dragging me down
A nagging doubt I feel within tells me
I won't be sticking around
I should have known this was a stupid idea
I should have known this was a stupid idea
You've got a hold on me
It's gone too far
I'm not the one you need
I knew it from the start
Why I never learn my lesson
I can't figure it out
Suddenly you're making plans
And I don't know what you're talking about
I should have known this was a stupid idea
I should have known this was a stupid idea
I should have known this was another really stupid idea

Words Unspoken

When it all blows up and I see what you've got
Can't feel what you want, can't feel what you want
When it's all too much and you're losing the plot
Don't know what you want, don't know what you want
If I could read your mind, then you know that I would
Am I illiterate? Am I just no good?
I'm running out of ways to make it through
Can't feel what you want, can't feel what you want
If I knew what it was, I'd give it to you
Don't know what you want, don't know what you want
Is this something you think I should know how to do?
Are your words not enough? Are we that out of touch?
Is there something you need I can never give you?
Don't know what you want, and I wonder if I want you

It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer
You had it easy with that silver spoon
You treat the rest of us like a cartoon
You seem to think we owe you loyalty
Like you're some twisted form of royalty
You have it all, yes, it’s understood
Still not enough, so you’re up to no good
Consumed completely by unending greed
Forget the hungry, you’ve an ego to feed, oh
It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer
It doesn't matter if we point and jeer
You'll simply stick your fingers in your ears
Block out the criticism, what do we know?
Turn on the spotlight and on with the show
Only admire the devious
They are your measure of genius
How can we see their acts as anything wrong?
If we don't get it, better just sing along, oh
It must be so amazing to be like you
For everyone to do the things you tell them to
Ah ah ah ah ah, charismatic
Ah ah ah ah ah, autocratic
It must be so amazing to be like you
Things you declare as real accepted to be true
Ah ah ah ah ah, the greatest deceiver
Ah ah ah ah ah, he'll make you a believer

by Letting Up Despite Great Faults
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs.

Heartfelt indie rock from Philadelphia's Buddie wraps the sincerest of sentiments in big, colorful choruses.

UNDER THE BRIDGE

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time
