The Format

The Format was an American indie rock band formed by Nate Ruess and Arizona native Sam Means. The band announced a hiatus on February 4, 2008. Their style can be considered a mixture of indie, alternative, punk and folk music, with elements of 1960s and 1970s pop music. Though Means and Ruess are the foremost members of the band, they have played, toured, and recorded with Mike Schey, Mark Buzard, Don Raymond, and—for the DVD recording and summer 2007 tour—The Honorary Title's current drummer and The Format alumnus Adam Boyd. The Format chose their name to make fun of the music industry's inclination towards a cookie-cutter "format" for a hit. more »

 Struggling with Dead End? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Hold on, there's a hole in my heart 
Everyone can see right through me 
It goes all the way to the waves 
Where my love she tried to wash it away 

see we break for the summers 
So she can find lovers 
She treats them like a bottle of wine 
They make you dinner 
And they sing you to sleep 
But by the morning find the bottle is empty 

'Cause she never gives it the time 
Every bottle she finds 
They don't compare 
To the ones she left behind 
There is never a note 
So she waits for me to come back home 

I'm looking for a dead end song 
You wish that smoke 
Could change its color 
I love it when you talk so much 
And act like nothing went wrong 
I'm looking for a dead end song 
While we sit and find flaws in everyone 
I want to keep you by my side 
Holding off tidal waves 

"Mint car" is keeping us warm 
She lays crossed upon the bed 
We are puzzles making shapes 
With our hands 
I take my finger, turn into a pen 
Then I run my hand down your spine 
You guess I wrote something profound 
Something like: 
"Our love will last 'till we die" 
I say "you're good at this game" 
But what I really wrote is 
"How I've yet to be saved"
