Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you’ve lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me on-e good reason
to fight and never walk away

Coz hear I am - still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that on-e thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries x2

I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don’t know where the future’s headed
Nothings gonna bring me down

I’ve jumped every bridge and I’ve run every line
I’ve risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why

So hear I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
To get to that on-e thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Yeah…

There are no boundaries
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
There are no boundaries x3

Sometimes we fall down
and can't get back up
We're hiding behind
skin that's too tough
How come we don't say
I love you enough
Till it's too late
it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry
for a food that won't come
We could make a
feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down
the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
what would you wish you would've done
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the
time we've been given here
This is all we got and
we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or
to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell
out of the skies
Who would you call
with your last good byes
Should be so careful who
we left out of our lives
when we long for absolution
there'll be no one on the line
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time
we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta
start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or
to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or
to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing
until it's gone
You never see a crash until
it's head on
All these people right when
we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing
till it's gone
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time
we've been given here
This is all we got and
we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or
to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh like we're dying
Like we're dying
Oh like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or
to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you

Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
Feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And I can't control following you

But it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me

I know you better than you know
You can fight but it's not over
I say to stop but you start to go
I guess that means it's L-O-V-E

I say to look but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm
begging you, please

But it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me

(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)

And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please

But it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me
it's alright, alright with me

You could break this silence with
words we wish we'd never said,
but I can hear it like a scream.
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night,
or am I going crazy?

I’m just trying to understand
who I was and who I am,
but you are changing just the same.
So can you tell me who’s to blame?
Could we put our weapons down,
just to figure this out now?!

Chorus:
Pride is out the door
cause I know we can make it before…
Make it before…
the sun breaks another day.
I wait til you say I'm the only one
Before we come…
Before we come undone.

If you say that it's too late,
those are words my heart can't take.
And this night is out to kill,
and if we let it will.
Could be both forgive somehow?
Cause I’m not letting you down now!

Chorus:
Pride is out the door
cause I know we can make it before…
Make it before…
the sun breaks another day.
I wait til you say I'm the only one
Before we come…
Before we come undone.

Bridge:
Watch out here we go
There's no turning back, you know.
We can keep going round and round and round and round, so now…

Chorus 2x:
Pride is out the door
cause I know we can make it before…
Make it before…
the sun breaks another day.
I wait til you say I'm the only one
Before we come…
Before we come undone.

Pride is out the door
cause I know we can make it before…
Make it before…
the sun breaks another day.
I wait til you say I'm the only one
Before we come…
Before we come undone.

Before we come undone
Before we come undone

Unspoken, in silence
Let's stay here tonight
there's no reason to ask me
Cause you know what's inside
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me
At sundown on the freeway
Is no place for goodbyes
don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me
I've got a different
ending to our story
I know it's hard for you
to hear it through
But listen as I read
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

I see ya girl walkin' over here
can't look away
I see you left a trail
of broken hearts
on your way to me
I try to not let it show
But I know that you know yeah
You break me down every time
you make a move
Without a sound
girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know
what you did to me
And I don't care
what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
There's something 'bout the way
you make me feel
I'm ready to confess
They checked my heart
and it's terminally ill
baby I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you
I'll be alright
You break me down every time
you make a move
Without a sound
girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know
what you did to me
And I don't care
what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Twenty four hours a day
ain't nearly enough no way
To get to know you
from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please baby don't make me wait
I'm at your door
I need more more more more more
Oh oooh
You break me down every time
you make a move
Without a sound
girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know
what you did to me
And I don't care
what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can't stay away from you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

In the night
I hear 'em talk
Coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me you know
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

How could be so Dr. Evil
You're bringin' out a side of me that I dont know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo'
Homie I dont know she's hot and cold
I won't stop I won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than
Me

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless

Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night

In the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far far far he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh
How could you be so heartless
Oh

'Cause in the night
I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless

Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this
insanity? (yeah)
what's she want from me? (yeah)

Roads in front of me
Taking me astray
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Feel like I'm trying to
breathe under water
Trying to climb but I
keep falling farther
Will you take my hand?

Feels so far away
I want to see your face
Are you even there?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

This time you say it's for good
you've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in hands
And your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I'm not giving up yet

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care or are you already gone?

So take your time
As you're headed for the door
Cause I might find
The right words to say
If you give me a second more
I'm no good at goodbyes
And my pride's here to see
That I won't let you go
As you walk out on me

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?

I wish I could make you stay, ??
Take this love, before you go
And if it's all that I am,
let me ask you again
Cause I need to be sure
Is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
If I crawl on my knees, would
you come back to me?
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
Would you care, or are you already gone?

So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices trying to reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain

I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh, but nothing you say
is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring

Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me
So many voices trying to reach me

So oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
So many things are trying to keep me

I wake up, put my poker face on
it's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
it's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

Sometimes we fall down
can't get back up
We're hiding behind
skin that's too tough
How come we don't say
I love you enough
Till it's to late
it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry
for a food that won't come
We could make a
feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down
the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done
Yeah gotta start
Lookin at the hand
of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and
we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around
or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell
out of the skies
Who would you call
with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who
we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution
There'll no one on the line
Yeah gotta start
Lookin at the hand
of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and
we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around
or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh
like we're dying
Like we're dying oh
like we're dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around
or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

We never know a
good thing till it's gone
You never see a
crash until it's head on
All those people right
when we're dead wrong
You never know a
good thing till it's gone
Yeah gotta start
Lookin at the hand
of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and
we gotta start livin it
Every second counts on a
clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around
or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh
like we're dying
Like we're dying oh
like we're dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around
or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

It may not be the best one
It may not be like the rest of 'em
But she makes it sound so sweet
The melodies she makes it sing

On her red guitar
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw the face
Of the red guitar

It's been through hell, oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to...

Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw the face
Of the red guitar
Of the red guitar

She plays it soft, so only I can hear
The same old song that she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully

On her red guitar, yeah
Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw the face
Of the red guitar
Of the red guitar
Of the red guitar

Lyin' next to you
Wishing I could disappear...aay
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air..aay

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads.
And we don't believe it.

Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down...ooww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
while the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losin' sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half.

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads
But we don't believe it.

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...oww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in.
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin.

Oh yeah...

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

It's easier than telling the truth...

I always played you songs to say
What I never could
Other people say it better
Say it better than I would
But for every word left unsaid
I thought you understood
It was easier to kiss you
Than to tell you how I feel
Oh and I don't want to lose you
But you can't see that through your tears
You're saying that I hurt you
But I had no idea
I'm doing my best to make it
To make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am
Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face
What you want me to say that I don't say
What you want when it's written all over my face
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face
You're not one of my boys
You can't get inside my mind
I'm not one of your girlfriends
Who's gonna see it from your side
What you lay on the table
Well I choose to keep inside
I'm doing my best to make it
To make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am
Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face
What you want me to say that I don't say
What you want, when it's written all over my face
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation
What you want me to say that I don't say
What you want when it's written all over my face
If you want we could talk about it all day
But what's to say
When it's written all over my face
All over my face
All over my face
When it's written all over my face
All over my face
There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation
