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 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 [x2]

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 [x2]

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
Live like we're dying
[Fade out]

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 pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till 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 pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone

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 pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till 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'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone
Before we come undone, before we come undone

. . .


I see you, girl, walking 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...Yeaaahhhh!

Chorus:
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.
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!
I can't stay away from you.
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!

There's something about 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…Yeaaahhhh!

Chorus:
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.
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!
I can't stay away from you.
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!

Bridge:
Twenty four hours a day
ain't really 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… Ohhh! Oooooo!

Chorus:
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
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!
I can't stay away from you
Wa-oh! Wa-oh!

. . .


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
But you don't believe
Believe that I am

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Saying I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to 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
But you don't believe
Believe that I am

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Saying 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

. . .


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, 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's 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

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, yeah

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's been telling me

. . .


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...
Of her 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...
Of her red guitar
Of her 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...
Of her red guitar
Of her red guitar
Of her red guitar

. . .


This time you say it's for good
You've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in your 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 rewrite our story 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 goodbye
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 rewrite our story 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 rewrite our story tonight
If I crawl on my knees, would you come back to me?
To rewrite our story 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 nut 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

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

So many things are trying to keep me

. . .


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 around you, yeah

You're on the run and I'm chasing you
It 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
Yeah, 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, 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
Yeah, it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Yeah, it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, 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

'Cause it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, 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
It's alright, alright with 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 world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars on my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
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 world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be
The man I know I could be
The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
Yeah, yeah

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

. . .


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

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

Feel like I'm tryin' to breathe under water
Tryin' to climb but I keep fallin farther (yeah)
Will you take my hand?

Feels so far away
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...
I need to know...

. . .


[Chorus]
In the night, i hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, she lost her soul.
to a man so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 1]
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 yo. i mean after all the things that we've been through.
i mean after all the things we got into.
hey yo, i know of some things that you aint told me.
hey yo, i did some things but that's the old me.
and now you wanna get me back and you goin' 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.

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, she lost her soul.
to a man so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 2]
How could be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out the side of me that i dont know..
i decided we weren't goin' speak so.
why we up 3 A.M. on the phone.
why does he be so mad at me fo'.
homie i don't know, he's hot and cold.
i wont stop, i wont mess my groove up
cause i already know how this thing go.
YOU RUN AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT YOU 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.

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, she lost her soul.
to a man so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 3]
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
baby lets 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 cant believe
i could just leave it wrong
and you cant make it right
im gon' take off tonight
into the night..

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, she lost her soul.
to a man so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

. . .


What am I gonna do tonight
When I'm one step closer to the other side
It's easy to pretend
Tryin' hard not to fade away
But the world's got me feeling out of place
How will all this end?
It's so hard to say

Send me all your angels tonight
I'm barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Everyday, gotta face the fact that
I'm trying to reach the demons on my back
And I'm hoping to hold on
Don't wanna make friend tonight
With the faces, with the faces
Not this time
When will all this end?
Just give me a sign

Send me all your angels tonight
I'm barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now

Better days are sure to come
I don't wanna come undone
So show me what I'm living for, yeah

Send me all your angels tonight
I'm barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Send me all your angels now
Send me all your angels, now
Oh, ooh

What am I gonna do tonight
When I'm one step closer to the other side
