  • You've got to get better,
    Said, it's all in your head,
    We could live through these letters
    Or forget it altogether,
    See the months they don't matter
    Its the days I can't take
    When the hours move to minutes
    And I'm seconds away,

    Just ask the question come untie the knot
    Say you won't care,
    Say you won't care,
    Retrace the steps, as if we forgot,
    Say you won't care,
    Say you won't care,
    You try to avoid it, but there's not a doubt
    And there's one thing I can do nothing about

    When all that we need is just a reaction,
    Its too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore,
    Chasing our dreams is just a distraction
    I want to remember what I know
    That I can't go back,

    Just ask the question, come untie the knot
    Say you won't care
    Say you won't care
    Retrace the steps as if we forgot
    Say you won't care
    Say you won't care
    You try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
    But there's not a doubt
    And there's one thing I can do nothing
    There's one thing I can do nothing
    There's one thing I can do nothing about

    Just ask the question (just ask the question)
    Come untie the knot
    Say you won't care
    Say you won't care
    Retrace the steps (retrace the steps)
    As if we forgot
    Say you won't care
    Say you won't care
    You try to avoid it (try to avoid it)
    But there's not a doubt
    And there's one thing I can do nothing
    There's one thing I can do nothing
    There's one thing I can do nothing about Writer/s: ADAM BURBANK LAZZARA, EDWARD REYES, FREDERICK PAUL MASCHERINO, MARK O'CONNELL, MATTHEW A. RUBANO

  • Timmy from Melbourne, Armeniawhat is it about tell me some1
  • Luis from San Jose, OtherIt is not the ending of a relationship, it is about the girl that is going to end the relationship and he knows about it but he can do anything.
    It happened to me all past week, when i knew that the Saturday my girlfriend was going to break up with me *cries*
  • Sarah from Sandiego, CaThis is one of the best songs of Where You Want To Be... I LOVE TBS!!!
  • Courtney from Bucks, Paactually he had a long distance relationship with a woman in LA with the release of Where You Want To Be so maybe the song is about her.

    in the line "live through these letters or forget it all together"
  • Kayla from D-ville, GaThis song reminds me oh my ex b/f and I. Everytime i hear it, it makes me want to cry and i start thinking about him. But anyway... GREAT SONG AND AWESOME ALBUM !!! I love TBS!!!!
