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

So there you are and here I stand 

As far as I remember you weren't half bad 

Your bedroom behavior was never more 

Then checkmarks on bedposts 

For I remember we never had 

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes 

You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows 

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes 

You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that no one 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths 

So don't explain 'cause I know exactly what you're going to say 

Big words, recycled phrases and the bittersweet taste 

Of other boys on your lips 

So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all 

So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all 

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes 

You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths 

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face 

On a stage in a crowded room? 

Well, it's not the same 

I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces 

Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd 

I hope you're out there, look at me now 

Well, it's not the same 

Just look at how we've changed 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths 

So suck your so called pity down 

Hey, that's not so bad, is it? 

So take your cold, cold heart and drown 

And don't forget to take deep breaths
