Have I lost my mind?
Is this paradise?
Or a darker side?
Candy coated lips
You're the sweetest kiss
But a bad trip

Changing faces
Know the name
but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step but I can't retrace it
You tell me "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up in your
Wasteland
Your wasteland
No I don't wanna wake up in your

Twisted fantasy
In your ecstasy
You're no good for me
Just behind the wall
It's not a dream at all
It's a free fall

Changing faces
Know the name
but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step but I can't retrace it
You tell me "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up in your
Wasteland
Your wasteland
No I don't wanna wake up in your

Oooo
I don't wanna wake up in your
Oooo

Changing faces
Slurring phrases
Nothing changes
In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up
in your Wasteland
Your wasteland
No I don't wanna wake up
in your wasteland

Changing faces
In your wasteland
Slurring phrases
I don't wanna wake up in your
Nothing changes
ooo
In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up

Let's get this right don't take it slow
Let's not pretend we've never met before

Cause baby this love is something we both know
But it's been trapped in a cage like an animal

And now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
And this time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back

You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away

I told myself it would be alright
But you lurk in the shadows deep inside my mind
I couldn't escape all the memories
Stuck in my head like pretty melodies

Now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
This time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back

Turn your magic on
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
We are legends, every day
That's what she told me

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds

Now I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
And I feel my heart beating
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Said I can't go on, not in this way
I'm a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me

And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh, I can feel my heart beating
Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Turn your magic on, Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under
this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape

If we've only got this life
This adventure, oh then I
And if we've only got this life
You get me through
And if we've only got this life
In this adventure, oh then I
Want to share it with you
With you, with you
Yeah I do

Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink and love's a drug
Oh now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river dried up
You came to rain a flood

I-Oh-I-Oh
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh-I-Oh-I-Oh
Now I’m feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Feeling drunk and high
Feeling drunk and high

Oh, angel sent from up above
I feel it coursing through my blood
Life is a drink and your love's about
To make the stars come out

I-Oh-I-Oh
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh-I-Oh-I-Oh
Now I’m feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Feeling drunk and high
Feeling drunk and high
So high, so high

That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the...
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the...
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the...
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the...
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the...

Im at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As Im slipping from your arms

Its getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

Im awake, Im alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now its my time
Ill do what I want cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
Im awake, and Im alive

Im at war with the world
Cause I aint never gonna sell my soul
Ive already made up my mind
No matter what, I cant be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

Im awake, Im alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now its my time
Ill do what I want cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
Im awake, and Im alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up in the dark

I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

Im awake, Im alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now its my time
Ill do what I want cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
Im awake, and Im alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up

He said, "Let's get out of this town,
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds."
I thought heaven can't help me now.
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down

He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is

Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, ah, wildest dreams, oh, ah.

I said, "No one has to know what we do,"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound,
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good now

He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is

Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, ah, wildest dreams, oh, ah.

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around

You'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Someday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around

Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your (just pretend, just pretend) wildest dreams, oh, ah, in your wildest dreams, oh, ah
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, oh, ah, in your wildest dreams, ah, ah.

She’s watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She’s been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days

She says, “Yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape”
She’s just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles

She’s talking to angels, counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She’s dancing with strangers, falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, In his arms
Waiting for Superman

She’s out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing’s making sense
She’s been chasing an answer
A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis

She says...Yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day”
She says...If life was a movie, then it wouldn’t end like this
Left without a kiss
Still, she smiles, the way she smiles, yeah

She’s talking to angels, she’s counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She’s dancing with strangers, she’s falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, In his arms
She’s waiting for Superman

To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it’s too late tonight
Oh, like a speeding light
And she smiles

She’s talking to angels, she’s counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She’s dancing with strangers, she’s falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, In his arms
She’s waiting for Superman

To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it’s too late tonight
She’s waiting for Superman

It kills me not to know this
but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars
or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down
a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face
that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true
when I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through
until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still
something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions
that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's
still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that
you still have

1000 miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you

So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
Because I don't know
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's
still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that
you still have

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

We were born ready, ready to be free
Chasin' every thrill we could see
With our eyes steady, waking to the dream
Aching to be thrown in the ring

If nothing comes easy as long as we're breathing
We'll go all the way or go home
We were born ready, wherever it leads
What we have is all we need

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

We were born hungry, hungry for the rush
Screamin' when they tell us to hush
Hit the ground runnin', leave 'em in the dust
Only run with those we can trust

If nothing comes to us
We're ready to face the unknown
We were born hungry, we'll never get enough
'Cause we're only here this once

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

Let's do it again
Let's make it tonight
Yeah let's go until the sky gets lighter

And if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
And if it's hard or soft before we get off
I'm gonna enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride

Let's do it again
Let's make it tonight
Yeah let's go until the sky gets lighter

'Cause if it's fast or slow
All I really know is I'm gonna enjoy the ride
Enjoy the ride
