MFEO Lyrics


I swim across an ocean
It's my matress in the basement
I'm sweatin' out excuses
That would make your stomach turn
The road we drove last night
Stretched from the desert
To Las Vegas
We filled our cups and lit one up
The snow began to burnMaybe
We were made
We were made for each other
Is it possible
For the world to look this way forever?
I talked so much
I'm sure I didn't realize I'd gone crazy
Didn't catch my bloody nose
Or that my heart tried to explode
I still live with my High School friends

Some people never change at all
We're still the same impulsive drunks
We were when we were small
Someone get this man to a hospitalMaybe
We were made
We were made for each other
Is it possible
For the world to look this way forever?
And I'm, a long way
From my firework days
But I still like to burn, burn, burn
I'm always
In the haze of a car crash
The orange airbag dust covers everything
EverythingMaybe
We were made
We were made for each other
Is it possible
For the world to look this way forever?You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out
You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out on youYou waited for me in the rain
In the parking lot
Cold hands
Lips blue
Clothes stuck to you
You could have phoned me for a ride
It's a mess out there
you said the rain's the rain
Some air'd be good for you
(You can breathe)
(You can breathe now)
Well good for you
(You can breathe)
(But the air is running out)You get in my car
Where its warm
You cannot forget
skin new
Hands true
My hands all over you
so what's another night
The seat's rolled back, they can't see
The rain's the rain
Some air'd be good for youYou can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out
You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out on youAnd you walked for miles
Down the shores of California
To the coast of Mexico
Where you could hide
And no one had to knowYou can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out
You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out (on you now)You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out
You can breathe
You can breathe now
You can breathe
But the air is running out on you
Running out on youMaybe we were made for each other
You can breathe but the air is running out
Maybe the world could look like this forever
Maybe we were made for each other
You can breathe but the air is running out
Maybe the world will look like this forever
Maybe we were made for each other
Maybe we were made for each other
Maybe we were made for each other
We were made for each...That's the record
Uh, I guess we'll keep talking
This tape's gonna run out soon
Then I'm gonna have to go buy more
And I'm a real procrastinator
So I probably won't do that for a while
So until the next time, uh
It's been uh... It's been... interesting
But I'm glad we have her done

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jack’s Mannequin started off as a side-project of Andrew McMahon, who is the vocalist, pianist and main songwriter of the band Something Corporate but has now become his main project. The band is based in Orange County, California. The name Jack’s Mannequin originated from one of McMahon’s songs called Dear Jack, which was written about a friend of his whose brother was diagnosed with childhood leukemia. Andrew himself was diagnosed with leukemia on June 1, 2005 and cancelled a show for the first time ever when he received the call from his doctor.

The initial impulse behind McMahon’s new project Jack’s Mannequin was "Locked Doors", a song he recorded in December 2003, which he felt was too different from previous Something Corporate material to be one of their songs. He realized that, if he would ever decide to release it, it would be on a solo album rather than a Something Corporate record. The idea seemed to be off the table, until in late summer 2004 both McMahon and his band mates were exhausted from months of touring. They decided to take a temporary break. During his time off, McMahon started writing songs, knowing they would not see the light of day as Something Corporate songs. These songs were a more therapeutic approach McMahon took, and therefore a more personal and intimate testament of his songwriting.

Over the next couple of months, McMahon began recording the newly written songs with producer Jim Wirt, who would play guitar and bass over sampled drum tracks, while McMahon contributed vocals and piano. They later brought in additional musicians such as Bobby Anderson (formerly of River City High) and Tommy Lee to add to the mix. In March 2005, Jack’s Mannequin (now consisting of McMahon, Jon Sullivan on bass, Anderson and Jacques Brautbar on guitar and Jay McMillan on drums) played their first live show at Molly Malone’s Irish pub in Los Angeles, California.

Their debut album, Everything in Transit, was released on August 23, 2005 debuting at #37 of the Billboard 200 with over 22,000 copies scanned within its first week.

Everything in Transit received a positive response from fans and critics alike. A summer tour was scheduled to support the record release, but was canceled after McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and had a bone marrow transplant. The band began recording their second album in the summer of 2007. In August 2007, McMahon posted the lyrics to the song “Cellular Phone” on his blog,which the band played live at several shows in 2007 and 2008. Also, in February 2008, videos of live performances of two songs off the new record (“Caves” and “Suicide Blonde”) were uploaded onto YouTube for public viewing. McMahon appears on the cover of Alternative Press’s January 2008 issue, which contains an interview with him.

Their second album, The Glass Passenger, was released on September 30th, 2008, and is their first album with Sire Records. Despite numerous delays (the album was originally slated for release in April 2008) it has been well-received, and debuted #8 on the Billboard 200.

Previously, in August of 2008, The Ghost Overground EP was released exclusively on iTunes to promote the album, containing the songs "The Resolution", "Bloodshot", and two live performances of tracks from Everything in Transit. After the release of the EP, "The Resolution" topped the Billboard "Hot Singles Sales" charts.

Songfacts reports that "My Racing Thoughts," the first single from their third album People and Things, was released on August 2, 2011. People and Things was released October 4, 2011.

On the evening of the 24th August 2012, the official Jack's Mannequin website & official Twitter account were changed to www.andrewmcmahon.com & "amslingshots" respectively. A blog post on the official Andrew McMahon website confirmed that Jack's Mannequin were no longer & that Andrew would be working on solo material.
