i seized the day so slow the hammer fell and all i wanted to say was "oh no" i could have taken time i would changed my mind i could have saved the world so if you want to, we can sleep all day oh oh i could have had my fill but when the grey skies come sometimes the rain gets in your head like i will i had a solemn vow i broke it anyhow i never even tried so if you want to, we can sleep all day oh oh i had an Adeline i nearly lost my mind i finally found my way so if you want to, we can sleep all day oh oh
2.
my car you are sex so let's hit the bar and drink morning star until the break of day can't choose my booze i got nothing to lose and i can't find the shoes that i took off to play i got my girl i got my devil i got my girl i got my devil it's my right my life gonna do what i like i stay up all night and sleep every day can't waste the race gotta pick up the pace the lemon-chasin taste erasin time and space are ok i got my girl i got my devil i got my girl i got my devil
3.
oh it's that look in your eyes and this aching that is breaking my stride wondering why i keep making you cry while i'm breaking down oh everything is alright gently treading that you're dreading my sight dreaming all night of me fading to white lights oh let me drown and heaven - i know it's somewhere it's hiding in the dark i never could find it there i couldn't light my spark off this waste of time i thought i was mine but i crossed the line to find me with your mark oh and that something you feel isn't something that i'm trying to steal learning to deal with becoming a third wheel of setting sound and heaven - i know it's somewhere it's hiding in the dark i never could find it there i couldn't light my spark off this waste of time i thought i was mine but i crossed the line to find me with your mark oh it's that look in your eyes
4.
i'm not thinking about my sinking cause i won't be saved i can't be saved what's the point in getting sad when it is what it is it is what it is it's ok ok ok ok, yeah you're my brush fire i'm your trip wire you'll burn and spread and i'll stop you dead i'm your land mine you're my faultline and i won't be known you can't be blown away away away away
5.
when i see the lights of the city i'm coming home gotta see my girl she's so pretty and all alone she called me up to say to move a little faster, it's getting cold she called me up to say she's got a little something like dogs got bones and i can't find what i wanted here i'm only happy when you are near so if you hear me, lone operator, place my call it's already late and getting later i'll miss it all you know my name but you don't ever try to call me at home no more you know my name but you don't ever play the same game you did before and i can't find what i wanted here i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near oh (take it away, man) and i can't find what i wanted here i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near i'm only happy when you are near oh oh oh
6.
how could i forget? i see your face in every silhouette and cigarette smoke try not to breathe and then try not to choke i'm fixed and broke as the world sings "fa la la la la la love" all of everything's "fa la la la la la love" like hands in a glove that i never had i've taken away all my regrets they're just nets in my sway like cannonballs float they rise for a time like a lump in your throat or holey boat all the world sings "fa la la la la la love" all of everything's "fa la la la la la love" like hands in a glove that i never had as the world sings "fa la la la la la love" all of everything's "fa la la la la la love" like hands in a glove that i never had before you before you before you
7.
as i hold you now all i'm thinking's how i hope you know i hope you're never down and i won't allow a broken vow i hope you find just what you hope you found solid ground know that what i've given to you i never would take back believe that know i'll always be true i never would fake it or forsake it cause i'm finally happy and i'll keep you strong and i'll be your song oh i hope you know i hope you sing along and i'll be calm that you rest upon mm i hope you rise with hope for every dawn we'll right wrongs know that what i've given to you i never would take back believe that know i'll always be true i never would fake it or forsake it cause i'm finally happy i love you cause only you make my heart skip a beat or two and when i'm blue you pick me up as i float in bliss all i'm thinking is i hope you know i hope i never miss one kiss know that what i've given to you i never would take back believe that know i'll always be true i never would fake it or forsake it cause i'm finally happy
8.
i don't wanna be the storm that ushers in the calm i don't wanna be the one that has to ride the bomb i don't wanna be the one that's got you in his palm i don't wanna be your own personal Vietnam you want it? come and get it. i'm deaf and dumb you can't keep me from from holding on holding on i don't wanna be your call hallucinogen i don't wanna have to start wherever you begin i don't wanna have to break down just to break you in i don't wanna have to pay for humanity's sin you want it? come and get it. i'm deaf and dumb you can't keep me from from holding on holding on holding on holding on yeah
9.
you you led to the door that i'd never seen before me you gave me everything and taught my heart how to sing and shine like the sun you keep it all inside let it come on out hold on just keep your hand in mine i will calm your doubt hold on you you made my world feel whole you gave me your/saved my soul me i wish i could repay so i'll just give everyday forevermore you keep it all inside let it come on out hold on just put your hand in mine i will take your doubt hold on
10.
i know you don't love me like i, you maybe you'll see what i hold true: when the days of wine and roses are gone it leaves just night and roses. i fall when you call i run right through hell and still stand next to and for you when the stage is empty and the show must still go on then on i go oh i've seen grass green cheeks red sky blue and now somehow i wake and see you when you feel the towel's getting thrown i'll be your strength you're not alone alone
11.
i could never see what i want to be everything i need gets in the way i could never try to even wonder why or question the laws of fate and it's so long since you're gone that i feel my world stop turning and if rain could cure pain then one day my soul'd stop burning i could never know what it's like to grow everything just always stays the same i could never be what you want from me everyone's face bears your name and it's so long since you're gone that i feel my world stop turning and if rain could cure pain then one day my soul'd stop burning soul'd stop burning soul'd stop burning ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
12.
goodnight, goodnight close your windows, turn out your light and i'll sing you a lullaby like before when you go to sleep don't drift off, soar my Adeline when i think that yours, I mean mine it sends shivers right down my spine to my core let your dreams rise like waves on the shore you can't hide your slumberin' eyes when it's time to fly off, go i won't take your dreams for mine they'd just weigh you down the way down I'm under my darling, i can't elaborate or describe what i see when i close my eyes anymore i just know who i'm doing it for you can't hide your slumberin' eyes when it's time to fly off, go i won't take your dreams for mine they'd just weigh you down the way down i'm under goodnight, goodnight
