  • Better make sure
    Better make sure you're looking closely
    Before you fall into your Swoon
    We are ready for the siege
    We are armed up to the teeth
    Be careful how you live and breathe
    Release what's broken underneath
    How many times do you wanna die?
    How many ways do you wanna die?
    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Very carefully look over your shoulder
    We can laugh about it now
    We hope everything works out
    Be careful how you lick your wounds
    Believe that change is coming soon
    How many times do you wanna die?
    How many ways do you wanna die?
    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Very carefully look over your shoulder
    You used to do a little, but a little won't fly
    Right before you hit your prime
    That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
    Can I please you still?
    Remain in your father's will
    Or does it make you ill?
    Let us bruise their knees
    We went in straight for a defeat
    You will be relieved
    So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
    Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
    Misery inspires
    your throat has been cut several times before
    Never noticed the size of the flow
    it can't be ignored
    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Carefully look over your shoulder
    You said you believe, but believing won't fly
    Right before you hit your prime
    That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
    And when it's all over and you open your eyes
    You see the room turned on its side
    And you'll be lying by a note on the floor signed
    The Royal We (x8)
    Love The Royal We

    When I'm 40 years old, I will look back on this album as the record that defined my college years. In the midst of a lot of label-produced bands, dance pop, and more-than-enough rock bands that are afraid to get noisy, these guys created a masterpiece of an album.
