Taking Back Sunday: "One Eighty by Summer" Lyrics

Go on just say it 

You need me like a bad habit 

One that leaves you 

Defenseless 

Dependent 

And alone. 



Go on just say it 

You need me like a bad habit 

One that leaves you 

Defenseless 

Dependent 

And alone. 



Well I hold (I hold) my tongue 

use it to assess 

the damage from way back when it mattered. 

And nothing seems important anymore 

we’re just protecting ourselves from our selves 



and I don’t think Ill ever come back down 

I don’t think I’ll ever come back down 



Are you ashamed to say what you want to 

tell me you want to 

Are you ashamed to say what you want to 

tell me you want to 

go just say it 



I’m making the difference 

it just seems pointless 

with all these obvious lines out of focus 



why can’t you just be happy? 

Why can’t you just be happy? 



And I don’t think I’ll ever come back down 

I don’t think I’ll ever come back down 

(Go on just say it) 

I’ll just say it 



I need you defenseless 

dependent 

and alone 

Live up to your first impression 

My best side was your worst invention 

and can’t you live without the attention? 

Why can’t you live with out the attention? (repeated 2 times) 



Why can’t you live without the attention? 

Defenseless 

Why can’t you live? 

Dependent
