Do you believe there is a life
Where it's just you and me and I?
We don't need to wait
We don't need a sign
It's only you and me and I
And do you believe there is a life
Where it's just you and me and I?
We don't need to wait
We don't need a sign
It's only you and me and I

Be Someone
Didn't know how much I would love Santa Barbara
Never driven up, but I know that it's gotta be so beautiful
That's where you were born
Long brown hair that your mom doesn't like
You got a moon tattoo that you don't even hide
You're so unusual
Haven't met someone like you before
Wanna be that guy that's makin' it hard for you to sleep at night
I want you to call me when it's gettin' late
You can tell me anything
From time to time, you give me the smallest look
Behind your eyes, and baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
From night to night, it's takin' you longer
When you say, "Goodbye," baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
I've been carried away tryin' to get inside your brain
And what do you know? Do you live alone?
And do you pray?
And do you believe there is a life where it's just you and me, and I
With only the way, with only the signs
It's only you and me, and I
From time to time, you give me the smallest look
Behind your eyes and baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
From time to time, you give me the smallest look
Behind your eyes, and baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
From night to night, it's takin' you longer
When you say, "Goodbye," baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
Someone to help, someone to hold
Somewhere to go when nights get cold
Somebody to love, somebody to be
Someone to sweep you off your feet
Someone to help, someone to hold
Somewhere to go when nights get cold
Somebody to love, somebody to be
Someone to sweep you off your feet
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) that someone is me
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) that someone is me
From time to time, you give me the smallest look
Behind your eyes, and baby, it's almost like you need someone
I promise I can be someone
Never driven up, but I know that it's gotta be so beautiful
That's where you were born
Long brown hair that your mom doesn't like
You got a moon tattoo that you don't even hide
You're so unusual

Slow It Down
I'd never met you, but I wanted
To invite you to the party
Then you walked in with those green eyes
Never stolen by nobody
And they flicker to the future
For a moment, I could picture
Then you touch me and I come back
And we're talking on the staircase
'Bout your big dreams on the big screens
Out of Georgia, now you're lonely in this city
Lyin' with me
And you're scared it's movin' quickly
Oh, now you're crying, you're in pieces
'Cause the only love you've ever known is Jesus
I can feel it
Oh, I hate that I'm the reason that you're
In your head right now
While your world is spinning out
So slow it down
Take a moment now
We're too young to drown
Deep in dirty waters
Full of hopeless doubt
Let me pull you out
Let me hold you now
Let me slow it down
Ain't it funny how it changes?
How the future rearranges
I get nervous, oh, I'm anxious
Maybe loving you is dangerous
I could lose you like the others
Only girl that's never left me is my mother
Oh, I love her
And I know you'll probably hate it, but I'm
In my head right now
So slow it down
Take a moment now
We're too young to drown
Deep in dirty waters
Full of hopeless doubt
Let me pull you out
Let me hold you now
Let me (Slow it down)
Slow it down
When you're on the ground
And you're crying
I'm trying (Slow it down)
To slow it down
When you're spinning 'round
In your head
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll help you slow it down
To invite you to the party
Then you walked in with those green eyes
Never stolen by nobody
And they flicker to the future
For a moment, I could picture
Then you touch me and I come back
And we're talking on the staircase
'Bout your big dreams on the big screens
Out of Georgia, now you're lonely in this city
Lyin' with me
And you're scared it's movin' quickly
Oh, now you're crying, you're in pieces
'Cause the only love you've ever known is Jesus
I can feel it
Oh, I hate that I'm the reason that you're
In your head right now
While your world is spinning out
So slow it down
Take a moment now
We're too young to drown
Deep in dirty waters
Full of hopeless doubt
Let me pull you out
Let me hold you now
Let me slow it down
Ain't it funny how it changes?
How the future rearranges
I get nervous, oh, I'm anxious
Maybe loving you is dangerous

Only girl that's never left me is my mother
Oh, I love her
And I know you'll probably hate it, but I'm

Let me hold you now
Let me (Slow it down)
Slow it down
When you're on the ground
And you're crying
I'm trying (Slow it down)
To slow it down
When you're spinning 'round
In your head
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll help you slow it down

Beautiful Things
For a while there it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me, He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mmm
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Please don't take
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great, why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me, He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mmm
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Cry
I try to hide it through the silence while I played along
I'm welling up behind my eyelids when I'm holding on
To the reigns, so badly I hate it
And I wish that all of-
Nah, nah, nah, that doesn't feel right
Maybe, uh, speed it up
Yeah, that's nice
I really hate the way you think that you can get away
By blaming all your stupid problems on your mental state
I'm tired of burnt-out lies, oh
Ooh
You think you know me, but you hardly even know yourself
I'd bite my tongue and let you think I only wish you well
I don't, I know you know it
Ooh
And I'm tired of letting someone get the best of me, so go ahead and-
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night
Mmm, you're more narcissistic than anybody in Hollywood
You're not a misfit, don't keep sayin' you're misunderstood
I'm tired, oh, I'm so tired, oh
Ooh
And maybe you're the honest type
And it's been me the whole damn time
I should really try to calm my mind and see things from your side
Or, maybe you can
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life
Cry, cry
Go bug somebody else, so I can sleep at night
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's life
Cry, cry
And I'm tired of letting someone get the best of me, so go ahead and-
Cry, cry
Go ahead and ruin someone else's-

Forever And A Day
I started driving through the hills, told me to come and get you
No words conveyed the way it felt for me to finally hold you
In my arms just long enough to know
Know every word you're gonna say before you even think it
But, somehow, every joke you make is funnier each time around
Your laugh is such a perfect sound
These butterflies lived a million lives to say
I swear I've known you longer than
Forever and a day
A day
Forever and ever and a day
A day
Forever and a day
I bet we already knew our names before we met each other
I bet we've sailed the Milky Way, walked on the Sun together
How could I forget those emerald eyes?
They took me by surprise, but suddenly
I missed your face, I knew that smile from miles away
I knew that I loved you
Forever and a day
A day
In all my lives, I've waited every time to hear you say
I'm yours forever and a day
I don't believe in destiny
But I might have to say
Your melodies, they're changing me
I'm yours forever and a day
Oh, forever and a day
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) oh, I don't believe in destiny
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) I'm yours-
No words conveyed the way it felt for me to finally hold you
In my arms just long enough to know
Know every word you're gonna say before you even think it
But, somehow, every joke you make is funnier each time around
Your laugh is such a perfect sound
These butterflies lived a million lives to say
I swear I've known you longer than

In The Stars
Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were going
Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I've buried my faith with you
I'm screaming at a God I don't know if I believe in
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumbled twenty still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last twenty that I've got
Oh, I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
I'm still holding (on), holding (on), holding on
I'm still holding (on), holding (on), holding on
I'm still holding (on), holding (on), still holding on
I'm still, ooh, still holding on
I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a billion different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were going
Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I've buried my faith with you

Drunk In My Mind
Happened pretty quickly
Jumpin' in with both feet
I'll go
Though I can't see nothin' below
So ready to give up my soul, mm
Movin' past the boundaries
Into waters so deep and cold
How could I possibly know
Which way the river would flow?
Oh, I
Read your mind
Why do I try?
After I tasted your wine
You had me drunk in my mind
But I shoulda told you, I'm gettin' sober
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Oh, tell me where the love went?
Thought that we were somethin'
Coulda, woulda, should been
Everything that we seem to be
Was it imaginary?
Like we never danced in the dark
Never kissed in the park
When I gave you my heart, you just ripped it wide open
You must be jokin' from takin' it slowly to crash it full speed into hopelessly broken
After I tasted your wine
You had me drunk in my mind
But I shoulda told you, I'm gettin' sober
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Oh, hate that I fell for that smile
But I shoulda told you when it was over
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
Hey
Bet it's drivin' you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
I was just drunk in my mind
Baby
Bet it's drivin' you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
I was just drunk in my mind
Bet it's drivin' you crazy
That you thought you could save me
But you wasted your time
After I tasted your wine (tasted your wine)
You had me drunk in my mind (drunk in my mind)
But I shoulda told you when it was over
Even if I said that you felt so good at the time
I was just drunk in my mind
In my mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
I was just drunk in my mind
Drunk in my mind
I was just, I was just, I was just drunk in my mind
Jumpin' in with both feet
I'll go
Though I can't see nothin' below
So ready to give up my soul, mm
Movin' past the boundaries

Greatest Fear
Got a lot on my mind that keeps me up at night
I'm tossing and turning thinking that my life's going to waste
Just filling up empty space
And if there's a God, I don't know where he's been
We used to talk but haven't spoken since early May
Guess he ain't in LA
But, you're here, now
And that makes it better, somehow
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, I'm terrified of the day that I die
I'll lie there all alone, no flowers on my bones
Of all the things that I've been afraid to lose
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Wanna lose my voice singing all your songs
I get paranoid about the way that you've been holding on
Like you're half-way gone
I'm scared to take another picture of you
'Cause I'm scared to have another thing that I can lose, oh, dear
Who am I without you here?
But, you're here, now
And that makes it better, somehow
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, I'm terrified of the day that I die
I'll lie there all alone, no flowers on my bones
Of all the things that I've been afraid to lose
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Is losing you
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Of all the things that I've been afraid to lose
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Is losing you, oh, losing you
Oh, losing you
Oh, losing you
Don't know how the broken pieces fit together if you leave it
So, don't go, don't go
I would take your hand if I could reach it
Pull you back but you're already gone
You're gone, gone, gone
I'm tossing and turning thinking that my life's going to waste
Just filling up empty space
And if there's a God, I don't know where he's been
We used to talk but haven't spoken since early May
Guess he ain't in LA
But, you're here, now
And that makes it better, somehow
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, I'm terrified of the day that I die

My greatest fear of all is losing you

Is losing you
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Of all the things that I've been afraid to lose
My greatest fear of all is losing you
Is losing you, oh, losing you
Oh, losing you
Oh, losing you
Don't know how the broken pieces fit together if you leave it
So, don't go, don't go
I would take your hand if I could reach it
Pull you back but you're already gone
You're gone, gone, gone

There She Goes
Lovely bones, won't you take me home?
'Cause I'm lonely
And hold me close, you're my only ghost
Come on, haunt me
'Cause I'm lonely
And I've been goin' too many days
And it starts to feel the same, every mornin'
And I don't recognize this place
Is it me or have I changed?
They ignore me
And that makes me lonely
And, when I hear my name
I wish that it was you who's callin' out (Mm-hmm)
There she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes
I been floatin' around, every city in town
In cars and bars, I can't figure out
Why these crowded rooms feel empty without you
Every name, every face
Oh, they all start to fade away
Into the back of my mind as I lie awake
Thinkin' 'bout runnin' back to you
So I pack my bags, I'm takin' off, I'm comin' home
There she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes
Oh, there she goes
Out of the blue, she comes around
She turned my whole life upside down
Out of the blue, out of the clouds
And I can't stop her now
Oh, there she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes
'Cause I'm lonely
And hold me close, you're my only ghost
Come on, haunt me
'Cause I'm lonely
And I've been goin' too many days
And it starts to feel the same, every mornin'
And I don't recognize this place
Is it me or have I changed?
They ignore me
And that makes me lonely
And, when I hear my name
I wish that it was you who's callin' out (Mm-hmm)
There she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes
I been floatin' around, every city in town
In cars and bars, I can't figure out
Why these crowded rooms feel empty without you
Every name, every face
Oh, they all start to fade away
Into the back of my mind as I lie awake
Thinkin' 'bout runnin' back to you
So I pack my bags, I'm takin' off, I'm comin' home
There she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes
Oh, there she goes
Out of the blue, she comes around
She turned my whole life upside down
Out of the blue, out of the clouds
And I can't stop her now
Oh, there she goes
Like I've never been alone
Like I've had it all along
And, every time I go away, I hate that it's a day
That I never see your face
I'm lost in outer space
And, when I'm lookin' down below
Oh, there she goes

Hello Love
Hello love, I missed your face
But I fear you feel a different way
When you look at me with those empty eyes
I could pass away, I could bleed and die
And, all this time, I never knew
If you were leaving me or I was leaving you
Now I'm caught between the black and blue
And you've tied me up, oh, I'm forced to choose
Oh, I'm lost
I don't know where I've gone
Won't you hold me while this storm is my head?
I'm alone and I can barely catch my breath
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Hello love, don't you fade away
Just a little less "Go," and a little more "Stay"
I could try to blame you, but my mind ain't safe
Like two fireworks tied to a rollerblade
I'm still lost
But I'm still holding on
Won't you hold me while this storm is my head?
Oh, I'm alone and I can barely catch my breath
Don't you go away
Don't let it die in vain
I'd give anything to feel it all again
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
But I fear you feel a different way
When you look at me with those empty eyes
I could pass away, I could bleed and die
And, all this time, I never knew
If you were leaving me or I was leaving you
Now I'm caught between the black and blue
And you've tied me up, oh, I'm forced to choose
Oh, I'm lost
I don't know where I've gone
Won't you hold me while this storm is my head?
I'm alone and I can barely catch my breath
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Hello love, don't you fade away
Just a little less "Go," and a little more "Stay"
I could try to blame you, but my mind ain't safe
Like two fireworks tied to a rollerblade
I'm still lost
But I'm still holding on
Won't you hold me while this storm is my head?
Oh, I'm alone and I can barely catch my breath
Don't you go away
Don't let it die in vain
I'd give anything to feel it all again
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Ghost Town
You fill me up 'til you're empty
I took too much and you let me
We've been down all these roads before
And what we found don't live there anymore
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
You know I'll stay don't you tempt me
But all this weight is getting heavy
Been holding up what wasn't meant to stand
I turned this love into a wasteland
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
The streets are empty
Where love once was but it's faded away
These broken memories
I'm left here alone and afraid to say
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Oh-oh-oh
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
I'll tear it all down
I'll tear it all down
I took too much and you let me
We've been down all these roads before
And what we found don't live there anymore
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
You know I'll stay don't you tempt me
But all this weight is getting heavy
Been holding up what wasn't meant to stand
I turned this love into a wasteland
It's dark
It's cold
If my hand is not the one you're meant to hold
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
The streets are empty
Where love once was but it's faded away
These broken memories
I'm left here alone and afraid to say
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Oh-oh-oh
Maybe you'd be happier with someone else
Maybe loving me's the reason you can't love yourself
Before I turn your heart into a ghost town
Show me everything we built so I can tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
Tear it all down
Down
Down, down, down
I'll tear it all down
I'll tear it all down

Love Of Mine
Oh, my love, where have you been?
I'm lost at sea, goin' against the wind
Without you drifting about the blue
I'm just bones covered in skin
No heartbeat, only this pain I'm in
I hurt you, but darling, you hurt me too
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
What I'd do for one more night
Take me back, and let me cry
So you can hold me one more time
I know I'll never find
This love of mine
Oh, my love, where have I gone?
I've spent my days barely just scraping along
Used to be ready for anything
And now I sleep hoping you're in my dreams
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
What I'd do for one more night
Take me back, and let me cry
So you can hold me one more time
I know I'll never find
This love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) oh, this love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) this love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) this love of mine, oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-ooh)
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
This love of mine
I'm lost at sea, goin' against the wind
Without you drifting about the blue
I'm just bones covered in skin
No heartbeat, only this pain I'm in
I hurt you, but darling, you hurt me too
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
What I'd do for one more night
Take me back, and let me cry
So you can hold me one more time
I know I'll never find
This love of mine
Oh, my love, where have I gone?
I've spent my days barely just scraping along
Used to be ready for anything
And now I sleep hoping you're in my dreams
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
What I'd do for one more night
Take me back, and let me cry
So you can hold me one more time
I know I'll never find
This love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) oh, this love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) this love of mine
(Oh-oh-oh-ooh) this love of mine, oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-ooh)
When I'm old and getting tired
I get stoned, and I get high
To try and remember what you're like
This love of mine

Friend
I've been on my own
Tryna carry this alone
Only so much weight my back could take, I'm sinkin' like a stone
And now I see my face in a broken window pane
I could use someone to help me pick up the pieces that remain
When everything is blue, ooh
All I need is you, ooh
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, yeah, I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
I need a hand, yeah, I need a friend
I'm tryin' to remember what it's like
To be young and alive
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend
Oh, where are you now?
I've been callin' to reach out
'Cause I'm only human goin' through it
My eyes rain like clouds
Would you take my call
When my head's against the wall?
And would you sit me down and hear me out?
Would you call me beautiful?
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, yeah, I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
I need a hand, yeah, I need a friend
I'm tryin' to remember what it's like
To be young and alive
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend, oh
When everything is blue, ooh (And I need a friend, I need a friend, I need a friend)
All I need is you, ooh (and I need a friend)
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts cavin' in
I need your hand, I need a friend
Tryna carry this alone

What Do You Want
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
You felt the subtle breeze
So I ripped away my skin to warm your bones
And you said you don't like secrets
So I told you more than you ever had to know
I thought we had a deal
But now I'm learning that I never had control
What are we doing here?
You got me all dressed up just to stop the show
So, please
What do you want from me?
I've been dancing on a wire
Now I'm dying on my feet
Oh, please
What more can I be?
I can't hold you up much longer
Now I'm breakin' at the knees
Tell me
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
I saw your heavy eyes
So I tucked you in and turned down all the lights
But I was faithful, I was true
And I can't say the same for you
Oh, it makes me want to
Scream
What do you want from me?
I've been dancing on a wire
Now I'm dying on my feet
Oh, please
What more can I be?
I can't hold you up much longer
Now I'm breakin' at the knees
Tell me
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
I get this shiver like there's somethin' coming over me
I'm hearin' music movin' through me like a symphony
Not even hell could hold me down
Your words mean nothin' now, I'm finally free
I'm finally free
I'll talk a walk and let the world burn right in front of me
I don't give a damn what's on the news or on the big TV
I only answer to myself, don't need nobody else
I'm finally free, oh, I'm finally free
I get this shiver like there's somethin' coming over me
I'm hearin' music movin' through me like a symphony
Not even hell could hold me down
Your words mean nothin' now, I'm finally free
Oh, I'm finally free
I'll talk a walk and let the world burn right in front of me (oh, yeah)
I don't give a damn what's on the news or on the big TV (oh, yeah)
I only answer to myself, don't need nobody else
I'm finally free, oh, I'm finally free
I get this shiver like there's somethin' coming over me
