Woah, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woah, oh, oh
For the longest
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
But if I don't then I'll go back to where I'm rescuing a stranger
Just because they needed saving, just like that
Oh I'm here again, between the devil and the danger
But I guess it's just my nature.
My dad was wrong, 'cause I'm not like my mum,
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head out of your hippie haze
and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again:
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in a mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me here
I've spent all my years in believing in you,
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, ooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
How do you think I'm going to get along without you while you're gone
Took me for everything that I had, then kicked me outta my own
Are you happy?
Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Dark as midnight, six-pack Coors Light
You don't look the same
Past my bedtime, blue and red lights
Come take you away
Hate to see you like a monster, so I run and hide
Hate to ask, but what's it like to leave me behind?
I won't be, no, I won't be like you
Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
Eyes like yours can't look away
But you can't stop DNA
No, you can't stop DNA
Twice a year you come in crashing
Nice to see you too
Johnny Cash and backseat laughing
Always ends too soon
Hate to say hello 'cause I know that it means goodbye
Hate to ask, but what's it like to leave me behind?
... actually a really depressing song about my life.
In a contented manner she sits by the bonfire,
Sanctimoniously thanking you for the hospitality.
Her treacherous intentions as cold as the occasional drafts of wind piercing your back.
You mistake the twinkle in her eyes for pure warm-heartedness,
And have no premonition of their effect on you.
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
