Since the moment I spotted you Like walking around with little wings on my shoes My stomach's filled with the butterflies...and it's alright Bouncing round from cloud to cloud I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Everytime I try to talk to you I get tongue-tied Seems like everything I say to you Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and tails we'll try again So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven Cause without you they're never going to let me in And slowly I begin to realize this is never going to end Right about the same you walk by And I say 'Oh here we go again'
When's this ever going to break? I think I've handled more than any man can take I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around And it's alright Bouncing round from cloud to cloud I got the feeling like I'm never going to come down If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied
Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell It was love from above that could save me from hell She had fire in her soul it was easy to see how the devil him self could be pulled out of me There were drums in the air as she started to dance Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands And we sang Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay And the voices bang like the angels sing We're singing Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay And we danced on into the night Ay oh ay Ay oh ay And we danced on into the night Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes The room left them moving between you and I We forgot where we were and we lost track of time And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night And we sang Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay And the voices bang like the angels sing We're singing Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay And we danced on into the night Ay oh ay Ay oh ay And we danced on into the night Ay oh ay Ay oh ay And we danced on into the night

Chad: I'm so high, I can hear Heaven I'm so high, I can hear Heaven Oh, but Heaven, no, Heaven don't hear me
Both: And they say that a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles Watch as they all fly away
Josey: Someone told me love would not save us Well, how can that be? Look what love gave us A world full of killing and blood spilling That world never came
And they say that a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles Watch as they all fly away
Chad:Aaaaah
Both: Now that the world isn't ending It's love that I'm sending to you It isn't the love of a hero And that's why I fear it won't do
And they say that a hero could save us I'm not gonna stand here and wait I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles Watch as they all fly away
All I wanna do is makeup(X7) The best part I know Broken promises Broken weddin vows If God is lookin down knowin that he'd crack a smile (crack a smile) How can I support a child? Last time I had a job Its been awhile The question that remains so freely Why's does that happen to me (to me) To wash away the pain I'm drinking I'm thinking I waited for the day that Together we can find another way back But everything we've got at stake Lets worry about today and put tomorrow in a bottle If there's some way that we can take back The wrong that we've created We can change that Don't turn your head the other way You're gunna save today But tomorrow in a bottle Let's put tomorrow in a bottle(X8) Pack it up, seal it up, close the deal (the deal) Girl you ain't right I apologize Don't be satisfied To what we had was gone away (hey hey) Every other day we cuss and fight (hey hey) And I take it 2 wrongs don't make a right You had my head gone I did you dead wrong Singin that same old song Wonderin why you mad at me (at me) Now you understand my lingo We still gon' be people Baby this is how it should be I knew you'd be like that You was sposed to have my back Now we both don't know how to act Once I leave the door at my baby back I waited for the day that Together we can find another way back But everything we've got at stake Lets worry about today and put tomorrow in a bottle If there's some way that we can take back The wrong that we've created We can change that Don't turn your head the other way You're gunna save today But tomorrow in a bottle Let's put tomorrow in a bottle(X8) Pack it up, seal it up, close the deal (the deal) Said I never thought that all that the love we had would go away Now there's nothing left that you can say That's the way sh*t gunna be the same Cuz my back against the wall Now the conclusion to the story is the same I was your bread and butter Like girl I put you on Now that I want that lovin back Why's the relationship so gone Like we established the fact That you was wrong from the get How am I sposed to fly in my ex From Tallahasee and back When a girl is scared of heights Said have you seen them jets Now put her in the back When the first class got delayed the snacks People can blame my past People can kiss my ass I'm at a loss for words Chad gon' sing the rest I'm waitin for the day that Together we can find a way back But everything we've got at stake Lets worry about today and put tomorrow in a bottle If there's some way that we can take back The wrong that we've created We can change that Don't turn your head the other way You're gunna save today But tomorrow in a bottle Let's put tomorrow in a bottle(X8) Pack it up, seal it up, close the deal (the deal) All I wanna do is makeup
Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow
So turn the television off and I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breath Cause I think I've forgotten I think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff That overlooked the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring is on my hand It was given to me by her To this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher To get much higher
They usually come around about 10 o'clock You can hear them You can tell them by the way they knock Somebody said the other one had a badge Who told ya, Who told ya
*How bout if I stay and you run away Well come on back and try to get some today Well somebody's gonna do it again Gonna make me turn against all of my friends So you better have something damn worthy to say
They're growin dope everywhere around the block You can smell it You can tell by the way they talk Somebody stole five for gasoline Who told ya, Who told ya
*Repeat
**I'll never do it again (No I wont) Lets settle it (We dont) I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it Since you got just what you wanted
We never do anything anymore One on the telephone, one on the door Somebody said revenge was served sweeter cold I told ya, I told ya They're growing dope everywhere around the block You can smell it you can tell it by the way they talk Somebody stole five for gasoline Who told ya, Who told ya
*Repeat
**Repeat
I'll never do it again (No I won't) Praise myself (I don't) I can't afford my life cause I'm spending it Since you got just what you wanted What you wanted What you wanted
Tell your friends not to think aloud Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow
So turn the television off and I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along
I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breath Cause I think I've forgotten I think I've forgotten
One day, up to a cliff That overlooked the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring is on my hand It was given to me by her To this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher To get much higher

How the hell did we wind up like this Why weren't we able To see the signs that we missed And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists And unpack your suitcase Lately there's been too much of this Don't think its too late
Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when
Well I hoped that since we're here anyway We could end up saying Things we've always needed to say So we could end up stringing Now the story's played out like this Just like a paperback novel Lets rewrite an ending that fits Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

Well you can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground Well you can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down
Well you can stick me in a hole And you can pray all day for rain You can shoot me in the leg Just to try to make me beg And you can leave me there for days
And I’ll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive Cause you’re my Mississippi Princess You’re my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but I’ll still follow you home I’ll still follow you home
You can make a couple calls And tell your brothers I’m in town Put a bounty on my head And tell my parents that I’m dead And hope to hell I’m never found You can steal me the keys To your daddy’s Cadillac
You can tamper with the brakes Call it a mistake And pray I’m never coming back
And I’ll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive Cause you’re my Mississippi Princess You’re my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but I’ll still follow you home I’ll still follow you home
You can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground You can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down
And I will survive Cause you’re my Mississippi Princess You’re my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but I’ll still follow you home I’ll still follow you home -
Well I wanted you I wanted no one else I thought it through I got you to myself You got off Every time you got on to me I got caught up In favorable slavery
I guess it wasn’t really right I guess it wasn’t meant to be It didn’t matter what they said ‘Cause we were good in bed I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons No, it didn’t matter what I tried It’s just a little hard to leave When you’re going down on me I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends Well they know your enemies I’d pretend Not to hear what they said to me ‘Cause I got off Every time you got on to me Was it wrong To go along with insanity
I guess it wasn’t really right I guess it wasn’t meant to be It didn’t matter what they said ‘Cause we were good in bed I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons No, it didn’t matter what I tried It’s just a little hard to leave When you’re going down on me I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons -
Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh How did our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
This is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we ever went without The second floor is hard for sneakin’ out
This is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I broke in twice I must’ve done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it’s too late Should I go back and try to graduate Life’s better now than it was back then If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in
Oh oh oh Oh god I...
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
...
Remember the old arcade Blew every dollar that we ever made The cops hated us hangin’ out They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we’d know We said someday we’d find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim’s the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She’s had a couple of kids since then I haven’t seen her since God knows when
Oh oh oh Oh god I..
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
I miss that town I miss their faces You can’t erase You can’t replace it I miss it now I can’t believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it If I could relive those days I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It’s hard to say It’s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Every time I do it makes me
I, I’m driving black on black Just got my license back I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track I’ll ask polite if the devil needs a ride Because the angel on my right ain’t hanging out with me tonight
I’m driving past your house while you were sneaking out I got the car door opened up o you can jump in on the run Your mom don’t know that you were missing She’d be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I’ve been kissing Screamin’
No, we’re never gonna quit Ain’t nothing wrong with it Just acting like we’re animals No, no matter where we go ‘Cause everybody knows We’re just a couple of animals
So come on baby, get in Get in, just get in Check out the trouble we’re in
You’re beside me on the seat Got your hand between my knees And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze It’s hard to steer when you’re breathing in my ear But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth ‘Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch I’m screamin’
No, we’re never gonna quit Ain’t nothing wrong with it Just acting like we’re animals No, no matter where we go ‘Cause everybody knows We’re just a couple of animals
So come on baby, get in Get in, just get in Look at the trouble we’re in
We were parked out by the tracks We’re sitting in the back And we just started getting busy When she whispered “what was that?” The wind, I think
‘cause no one else knows where we are And that was when she started screamin’ “That’s my dad outside the car!” Oh please, the keys, they’re not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while we were switching our positions I guess they knew that she was missing As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing Screamin’
No, we’re never gonna quit Ain’t nothing wrong with it Just acting like we’re animals No, no matter where we go ‘Cause everybody knows We’re just a couple animals
So come on baby, get in We’re just a couple of animals Get in, just get in Ain’t nothing wrong with it Check out the trouble we’re in Get in, just get in -
Prison gates won’t open up for me On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’ Oh, I reach for you Well I’m terrified of these four walls These iron bars can’t hold my soul in All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’ And oh I scream for you Hurry I’m fallin’I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me
Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me With these broken wings I’m fallin’ And all I see is you
These city walls ain’t got no love for me I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you
Come please I’m callin’ And all I need from you Hurry I’m fallin’
Show me what it’s like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me Say it to me And I’ll leave this life behind me Say it if it’s worth saving me
This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS] That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know
[CHORUS]
So far away Been far away for far too long So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know
I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go Hold on to me and, never let me go Hold on to me and, never let me go
