THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS LYRICS - Bite Back

"Bite Back"



You couldn't break me in the end... (oh no)

And such a freedom I enjoy

When you're deaf to the sounds you trust

If that was all you've got, my friend... (oh no)

Then set yourself to disappoint

Yeah...



Feels like I'm strapped down on this table... so tight

You've got me stuck to a razor's edge

And I'm trapped in a deadbolt glove

You stand to cut me or enable... oh no

And such a streak starts steading heads

And I live for the things I love



Sad, but maybe it's true

Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough

To keep you back one second longer



Take a little more than what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break a little piece of what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Remember when things seem so stable... you know that

I compromise just to appease

Yeah, you take but you take too much

If what you need's not seeming able... yeah, right

Then maybe it works when I leave

Yeah, you fake what you say you love



Sad, but maybe it's true

Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough

To keep you back one second longer



Take a little more than what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break a little piece of what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Take a little more than what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break a little piece of what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Move faster

I can't move enough

How much longer?

Is this long enough?

We can't be

And it won't even catch your attention

And it pains me so to mention



Sad, but maybe it's true

Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough

To keep you back one second longer



Take a little more than what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break a little piece of what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Take a little more than what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break a little piece of what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Take what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you



Take what I've got

It's all I have to please you

Break what you want

Bite back the hand that feeds you
