Shotgun Serenade Lyrics
I know you’re dying to tell me everything that you want to say,
but I’m not listening.
Try to tell me everything that you want to say.
I know you’re trying to force me.
Feed me lies but I’m on my way.
Can you taste it now?
I’m dying to watch your face when I walk away.
Here’s the final bullet to put our love to death.
Our days are never coming back.
I know it’s you I can forget.
Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There’s a freight train coming to force your head in check.
Our love is never coming back.
I know it’s you. I can forget our love forever ending.
I know you’re dying to tell me everything that you want to say,
but I’m not listening.
‘Trying to tell me everything will be okay. “We’ll be okay.”
You’re trying to warm my heart but you freeze my blood.
There’s ice inside my veins.
I’m only dying to watch your face when I turn away, and I’ll turn away.
But you cannot separate the two things I would live or die for.
I’d kill to separate your heart from your head.
That’s to die for.
Here’s the final bullet to put our love to death.
Our days are never coming back.
I know it’s you I can forget. Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There’s a freight train coming to force your head in check.
Our love is never coming back.
I know it’s you. I can forget our love forever ending.
You’re just a waste of a song. You’re a simple regret.
I thought I knew who you were, but watch how fast I forget.
You wore your prettiest dress, but there’s a mess in your head.
They say old habits die hard. I say they’re better off dead,
‘cause you were bitter and cold, but still you burned me alive.
You held the match to my skin and poured the fuel on the fire.
You’re not my favorite mistake. You’re just a simple regret.
I though I knew who you were, but watch how fast and watch how well I forget.
It’s too late to play the good guy.
It’s too late to play the good guy now.
It’s too late to play the good guy. Goodbye.
Here’s the final bullet to put our love to death.
Our days are never coming back.
I know it’s you that can’t forget. Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There’s a freight train coming to force your head in check.
Our love is never coming back.
I know it’s you. I can forget our love forever ending.
There’s a freight train coming to force your head in check.
Our love is never coming back.
but I’m not listening.
Try to tell me everything that you want to say.

yeah i have no idea what brett is saying in the underlined parts.
a few things that need fixed:
You can not seperate The two things I would live or die for
and the last chorus brett says: I know it's you THAT can't forget.
this is porbbaly my favorite song off the new album, i'd say it's about haveing an ex that cant get over you, a nice mean goodbye song.
oh and the missing part is:
You're just a watse of song You're a simple regret. I thought I knew who you were But watch how fast I forget You wore your prettiest dress (???) They say old habits die hard. I say thier better off dead.

bang bang shoot shoot!
the obvious explanation here is a breakup gone bad. or a girl wants guy still but guy doesnt deal.
it also could be fueled by their bad deal with epic.
I LOVE THIS SONG. Soo much. It's such a break-up anthem. You can sing the lyrics at the top of your lungs and feel so good after. Seriously. It works. The Juliana Theory will be missed.
The song is obviously about a breakup, like quite alot of songs out there, but I really really love this one. The lyrics, in my opinion, are incredible. And the song... I just love all of it, hah.
This is my breakup anthem.
