  • I should warn you
    Things you're feeling, aren't normal now
    Think you need me
    It's not easy, let you go some how

    Now we're too far gone, hope is such a waste
    Every breath you take you give me the burdens bitter taste
    You promise that you'd stay, say you wanna go
    Your lips provide a shelter for the things that I don't know

    Speak slowly, my heart is learning
    Teach me heartache, stop this burning now

    Wishful thinking
    Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
    (Far away, far away)
    North is calling
    Now I'm falling, at your feet please, stay

    Now we're too far gone, hope is such a waste
    Every breath you take you give me the burdens bitter taste
    You promise that you'd stay, say you wanna go
    Your lips provide a shelter for the things that I don't know

    Speak slowly, my heart is learning
    Teach me heartache, stop this burning now

    Please speak slowly, my heart is learning
    Teach me heartache, stop this burning now

    Please speak slowly, my heart is learning
    Teach me heartache, stop this burning now
    (Asking why) please speak slowly
    (Where were you when I said goodbye?) My heart is learning
    (Asking why) teach me heartache
    (Where were you when I said goodbye?) Stop this burning now Writer/s: Nick Wheeler, Tyson Ritter

  • Jordan from Holland, MiWow I LOVE The All-American Rejects, because I can relate with almost all their songs. I listen to them, and I think, wow, I DO have to "Move Along", relationships are going to end, and you are going to be hurt, but there is no reason to hang over these feelings and thoughts. In fact, my first steady girlfriend recently broke up with me, and that night, "It Ends Tonight" was on, and I just was like "wow". Now it reminds me of that night.
  • Beans from Philadelphia, Pai remember seeing somewhere that this song was about one of their old band members...great song anyway. ^_^
  • Melissa from My PlaceI agree with Ericka from Toledo Oh. AAR rocks and I cannot wait to see them in concert in April. They rock!!
