Classifieds Lyrics - Almost Here - The Academy Is...

My life reads like the classifieds 

Pages of what's for sale, what's on the auction block 

Attention bidders, it's line 45 

He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile 

Hold on, you haven't heard the best yet 

He writes good story lines, he's got those honest eyes 

So take him home for just 9.95 

He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night, at night 

Back, back, back, back 

Back, back, back, back 

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you 

Break down, back out and get what's coming to you 

When you said you were falling apart 

I thought you meant that you were falling apart 

I'm not the type to forget about nights like this 

Where every single move that I make 

Is documented and scored for style points 

The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun 

And if I die in my sleep are you still willing 

To be everything you promised you would be? 

(Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back ) 

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you 

Break down, back out and get what's coming to you 

When you said you were falling apart 

I thought you meant that you were falling apart 

Will you be the first one to tell 

The neighborhood paper and all my family 

And friends that still care? Did you buy what I sold? 

And did you feel what I told you? I hope you still do 

Will you promise yourself that this isn't all we've got? 

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you 

Break down, back out and get what's coming to you 

When you said you were falling apart 

I thought you meant that you were falling apart 

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you 

Break down, back out and get what's coming to you 

When you said you were falling apart 

I thought you meant that you were falling apart
