The Academy Is... Check Marks lyrics

So there you are and here I stand
As far as I remember you weren't half bad
Your bedroom behavior was never more
Than check marks on bedposts
For I remember we never had

You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that nobody knows

You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that no one

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So don't explain 'cause I know
Exactly what your going to say
Big words, recycled phrases
And the bittersweet taste
Of other boys on your lips

So now just sit here
And talk about how you wanted it all
So now just sit here
And talk about how you wanted it all


You get me out of the rain
You get me out of my clothes
You hope I don't make a sound
You hope that nobody knows

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face
On a stage in a crowded room?
Well, it's not the same
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces

Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd
I hope you're out there, look at me now
Well, it's not the same
Just look at how we've changed

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths
