All my life I've denied ever knowing what it's like. You came around, you shook my ground. Now I'm searching for a drug to come down. You're where I thought I'd never go.
I came down from my mountain. I opened up my eyes. I saw everything that slipped away. And all I took for granted. And all I lost when I fell asleep alone along the way.
Can you even imagine. What I go through. Always stuck on the outside. Waiting for you. You always say we're just friends now. I need to feel closer. Over and over.
Long beach kids come to your town. You will never put us down. Long beach kids are in the night. And you know you're scared to fight. . [Chorus] Long beach kids.
My life is only what it is, baby. I've only got what I can give, they say. You give it all, you get it back someday. So how do we make the same mistakes.
Was it you. who said that you could never get enough of me?. Did you confess. that when we were alone you had to tell yourself to breathe?. So maybe I should feel a little more like I've been living in a dream..
You told me you love me. So I don't understand. Why promises are snapped in two. And words are made to burn. . The bigger the better. Some stolen from Japan.
Lonely boy joined the army back in 65. Only wanted to take with him his childhood skies. Lonely boy stole the moonlight from his babys eyes. Lonely boy held a picture of his old hometown.
I guess I feel confused. But everytime I look at you. You stare right to my ice. Now youre imprisoning my heart. Hold -. Ive tried to sleep all night.
Theres a battle raging somewhere. Between the minute hand and people like me. I threw that clock up when it came. The time to end of asking what time is it.
I was lost in a contraption. Took me days to find direction. Suddenly the moments collide. Finally found the fault in father. Family blood dilutes the water.
This is the day that I. Figure out the rest of my life. Who do I want to be?. Will I ever get to be somebody?. . Apart from you. A part of you. Always gets carried around.
I tell myself, not to fear,. It's not that easy anymore,. My trembling hands,. My wounded soul,. You can't heal me like before.. . You're gone,. I need you here,.
Through the tin pan alley in the dead of the night. Riding that crazy horse. Through the backyard kitchen on an A-team mission. To get to the front door.
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself. When you're so dead wrong. Let alone no one else. . Well the children still dying in the streets. The babies still living with disease.
Let the drummer kick. Let the drummer kick that. Let the drummer kick. Let the drummer kick that. Let the drummer kick. Let the drummer kick that. Let the drummer kick.
Been left for dead. I know it's in the back of your head. Been left for dead. Sister you're better than that. . Been sold downstream. Sold down river to the cousin of the king.
We've opened up the book in your cells to find your soul. and define your reason.. In your chromosomes we see you naked. without the fairy tales that feel like home,.
