I know I took the path
that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights

Where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you
that's the last you'll see of me

Remember when
I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
that you would never want for me

I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
but never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies

But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you
that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when

I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path
that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before

I left you on your own
And please believe
them when they say
That it's left for yesterday

And the records that I've played
Please forgive for all I've done

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

In the morning light let my roots take flight
Watch me from above like a vicious dove
They don’t see me come, who can blame them?
They never seem to catch my eye but I never wondered why

I won’t fall asleep
I won’t fall asleep

Hey yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher

From your slanted view see the morning dew
Sink into the soil, watch the water boil
They won’t see me run, who can blame them?
They never look to see me fly, so I never have to lie

I won’t fall asleep
I won’t fall asleep

Hey yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher

Nobody else, nobody else
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else can take me higher
Nobody else

Hey yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher

Hey yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher

I’m sorry, mother
I’m sorry, I let you down
Well, these days I’m fi ne
No these days I tend to lie

I’ll take the Western train, just by the side
of Amsterdam
Just by my left brain, just by the side of the Tin Man
I’m sorry, brother

I’m sorry, I let you down
Well, these days you’re fi ne
No these days you tend to lie
You’ll take the Western train, just by the side of

Amsterdam
Just by my left the brain, just by the side of the Tin
Man
Your time will come

if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It’s hard, believe me, I’ve tried
But I keep coming up short
I’m sorry, lover

I’m sorry I bring you down
Well, these days I try and these days I tend to lie
Kinda thought it was a mystery and then I thought I
wasn’t meant to be

You set yourself fantastically
Congratulations you are all alone
Your time will come
if you wait for it, if you wait for it

It’s hard, believe me, I’ve tried
Your time will come
if you wait for it, if you wait for it
It’s hard, believe me, I’ve tried

But the rain won’t fall for the both of us
The sun won’t shine on the both of us
Believe me when I say
That I wouldn’t have it any other way

Your time will come
If you wait for it, if you wait for it
It’s hard, believe me, I’ve tried
But I won’t wait much longer ‘cause these walls

they’re crashing down
No I won’t wait much longer ‘cause these walls
they’re crashing down
And I keep coming up short

I'm sorry for everything no
everything I've done
Am I out of touch
Am I out of my place

When I keep sayin'
that I'm lookin' for
an empty space
Oh I'm wishin' you're here

but I'm wishin' you're gone
I can't have you
and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh I'm gonna mess this up

oh this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
I'm sorry for everything no
everything I've done

From the second that I was born
and since I had a loaded gun
And then I shot shot shot
a hole through everything I loved

Oh I shot shot shot
a hole through
every single thing that I loved
Am I out of luck

Am I waiting to break
When I keep sayin'
that I'm lookin' for
a way to escape

Oh I'm wishin' I had
what I'm takin' for granted
I can't have you
and I'm only gonna do you wrong

Oh I'm gonna mess this up
oh this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
I'm sorry for everything no

everything I've done
From the second that I was born
and since I had a loaded gun
And then I shot shot shot

a hole through everything I loved
Oh I shot shot shot
a hole through
every single thing that I loved

In the mean time we let it go
At the road sign we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh we let this drift away

At the bay side we used to shore
In the moonlight we let it go
We can let this drift away
Oh we let this drift away

Cause you've always
got to change your mind
Cause you've always
got to change your mind

Oh love can you hear me
Oh let it drift away
I'm sorry for everything no
everything I've done

From the second that I was born
and since I had a loaded gun
And then I shot shot shot
a hole through everything I loved

Oh I shot shot shot
a hole through
every single thing that I loved
In the mean time we let it go

At the road sign we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh we let this drift away
At the bay side we used to shore

In the moonlight we let it go
We can let this drift away
Oh we let this drift away
Cause you've always

got to change your mind
Cause you've always
got to change your mind
Oh love can you hear me

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the bloods run stale

I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
Theres nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide
Don't get too close
Its dark inside
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide

At the curtains call
Its the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made

Dont want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Dont want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide
Dont get too close
Its dark inside
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide

They say its what you make
I say its up to fate
Its woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I cant escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide
Dont get too close
Its dark inside
Its where my demons hide
Its where my demons hide

Brown eyes and lungs are filled up with smoke
Fast lives are stuck in the undertow
But you know the places I wanna go
Cause oh oh oh
I've got a sickness, you've got the cure
You've got the spark I've been lookin' for
And I've got a plan, we walk out the door

You know you wanna
Just let go
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it oh oh
Yeah all we need so here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive

We could
Pack up and leave all our things behind
No fact or fiction or storyline
Cause I need you more than just for tonight
You're oh oh all I care
I can't stop my breathing in
I'm weak and you were my medicine
I won't stop till I am under your skin

You know you wanna
Just let go
It's time to roll down the windows
Sing it oh oh
Yeah all we need so here we go

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive

And when the clock strikes twelve
Will you find another boy to go and kiss and tell?
Cause you know I never will
I think we should strike a match
We'll hold it to the wind to and see how long it lasts
We can make the time stand still

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fights
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are now finally free tonight

All of the wasted time
The hours that we're left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
they don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
they don't know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
they don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
