Title - My Cash Landing Band - Newly Nude Year - 2007 ___________ Before their breakout 2007 album, "We're Just Kids," Newly Nude honed their chops as openers for a string of bigger names in the scene. The album featured 'My Crash Landing', in particular, which propel them into the spotlight; it catapulted their rise as prominent leaders in the Pop-punk/emo genre. ___________ [Spoken Intro] You were the glitch in my perfect frame Now? I'm just static. So much static [Verse 1] I was your human ashtray Always there to catch the fallout You treated me like dial-up In a broadband world stuck buffering But hey, at least I'm vintage now, right? A classic case of "what not to want (What not to want!) Don't you dare look back now [Pre-Chorus] I'm not counting the days But your touch still clings, like a bad tattoo Too expensive to laser off And I'm just static So much static [Chorus] Well, This is my crash landing A spectacular mess of "what if." Guess I'm the Queen of wishful thinking The empress of 'almost was' You're a black hole Sucking the light from everything I swore was all ours And I'm just a forgotten star Fading in your gravity [Verse 2] I'm swimming in a pool of "what ifs" Doing the backstroke through all our yesterdays You were the riptide that pulled me under The undertow of all my self-made mistakes But maybe hitting rock bottom is just another way To learn how to build a raft Or at least a pair of wings strong enough To hold all this regret, before I drown in it (Before I drown in it!) [Chorus] Well, This is my crash landing A spectacular mess of "what if" Guess I'm the Queen of wishful thinking The empress of 'almost was' You're a black hole Sucking the light from everything I swore was all ours And I'm just a forgotten star Fading in your gravity [Bridge] I'm trying to rewrite our history But the ink keeps smudging, the pages are all torn and burnt Maybe some scars are just tattoos with better stories Or maybe I'm just lying to myself again (Oh, the irony!) I'm a master of self-deception A gold medalist in "Ignoring Red Flags," A true champion of denial [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Well, This is my crash landing A spectacular mess of "what if." Guess I'm the Queen of wishful thinking The empress of 'almost was' You're a black hole Sucking the light from everything I swore was all ours And I'm just a forgotten star Fading in your gravity [Chorus repeated] This is my crash landing My spectacular mess of "what if." Yes I'm the Queen of wishful thinking The empress of 'almost was' You're a black hole Sucking the light from everything I swore was all ours And I'm just a forgotten star Fading in your gravity!!!!! [Outro] Yeah, you're a black hole... And I'm just a fading star... A fading star...
