"When you marry you will change,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When I marry I will change you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were happy.
They were happy for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"When I marry I will be you,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When you marry you'll be someone,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and were someone.
They were someone for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"When you leave me you'll be sorry,"
Said the woman to the man.
"When you leave me I will haunt you,"
Said the woman to the man.
So he left her and was haunted.
They were haunted for a time,
Still they thought about each other
All the time.
"When I left him I was happy,"
Said the woman to the child.
"When I left him I was happy,"
Said the woman to her child.
So I left him and was happy,
I was happy with his child.
"You won't know him when you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
"You won't know him if you meet him,"
Said the woman to the child.
But he met him and said, "father,
You were father for a time,
I just wondered who you were in my mind."
"Well, I told you he's your father,"
Said the woman to the child.
"Well, I knew it, you would love him,"
Said the woman to her child.
And I loved him and I loved him
And was happy with our child.
What was it that made you
Treat us so unkind ?
"What's the problem, why 're you crying?"
Said the woman to the man.
"He's your father, he's your father,"
Said the woman to her son.
"He's the problem, he's my father,
He was father for a time."
"When I die I'll be with him,"
Said the woman to her son.
"When I die you'll forgive me,"
Said the woman to the man.
So she did and was buried,
Buried with him for all time.
"When I love you we will marry,"
Said the woman to the man,
"And our children will have children,"
Said the woman to the man.
So they married and had children,
You follow the path that you meant to avoid
A matter of time till an echo unfolds
What the next step might bring? You take a look back
While your heartbeat is raging to this song you sing
When silence evolves into a deafening noise
When the blackening coat reaves a ceiling of darkness
When I speak the words that you wish me to say
When voices of sound come to life all around
I could never say these words to you
I could never doubt the way you do
I could never trace the steps for you
I could never live the way you do
Adrenaline pumping in every vein
I must go now and look for a new place to hide
You will chase me again, I am certain of that
But be sure that the next time you will not succeed
I could never say these words to you
I could never doubt the way you do
I could never trace the steps for you
I could never live the way you do
The wedding!
The wedding!
The wedding!
When you're begging for shelter, don't knock on my door
When you say that you've changed, you have done that before
When the tear in your eye - what a great alibi -
Tries to weaken my senses - shatter all that I've learned
I could never say these words to you
I could never doubt the way you do
I could never trace the steps for you
I could never live the way you do
I will never say these words to you
I will never doubt the way you do
I will never trace the steps for you
The air was swaying round the first guitar I remember
We crossed the river by the Ostrum wall 'neath the
stars
To where the wedding filled the hall
My father sang a song
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain
Chased Cathy round the trestles at the edge of the
eightsome
We watched the lovers round the lodge at the edge of
the sea
White lights and wooden boards
We watched the village take the floor
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain
There is so much I could say to you, but
Tonight I'm sticking to the past like glue
When life gets tough, when times get hard
You have to know exactly who you are
Arm in arm, hand in hand
You take this woman, you take this man
Spirit dancing evermore
Endless circles round the floor
Last night I drove my children down by the river
Past the windows of the hall and the dusts of our years
Then the radio came on
They said "someone's playing our song"
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain
Crossing the river, caught in the rain
Crossing the rhythm, caught (caught, caught) in the
Chorus
Lord of light, oh, come to this wedding
Take the doubt and darkness away
Turn the water of lifeless living
To the wine of gladness we pray
Mother Mary's gently requesting
That you might do whatever you can
Though she may be impatient she loves you
And so she asks what she can't understand
Chorus
So amidst the laughter and feasting
There sits Jesus full with the fun
He has made them wine because He is longing
For a wedding that's yet to come
Hers on one side, his on the other
One Saturday in June
The organ drones and her cousin's singin'
Just a little bit out of tune
Her ex is here and his is too
Something old and borrowed but it's nothing new
It sure came up all of the sudden
Bobby and Judy's weddin'
Dean and Ginny, they still ain't speakin'
She's gonna make him do without
There's no denyin' that Carla's cryin'
But what's she cryin' all about?
It's all one great big act of contrition
Hugs and kisses with fresh ammunition
So we all retreat with the preacher's blessin'
Bobby and Judy's weddin'
So ring them bells, toss that rice
Have yourselves a real nice life
Say those words, recite those vows
Now, don't we all feel better now?
Cold beer fountain, cheddar cheese mountain
Pigs-in-a-blanket on the bar
Tim and Eddie got the band back together
But they still can't play their guitars
In-laws, outlaws all pull together
To hot-wire, jump-start two hearts forever
Will they make it? Nobody's guessin'
Bobby and Judy's weddin'
Dance your dance, eat your cake
Toss your sister, your bouquet
Say goodbye, drive away
Tomorrow is another day
All the boys got lost in the whiskey
Daddy fell asleep in his tux
Dean and Ginny, actin' kinda frisky
Thinkin' about makin' up
Mamma and the womenfolk back in the kitchen
They're all laughin' and Carla's still bitchin'
As for me I'm glad I saw it all
Even the parts that I can't recall
It sure was great to be with all of ya'll
Bobby and Judy's wedding
It sure was great to be with all of ya'll
Bobby and Judy's wedding
Bobby and Judy's wedding
The father who sired her handed her over
the crack-handed orchestra played
The bride and the groom stood shoulder-to-shoulder
as the ill-starred wedding was made
She lifted her veil as the groom gently kissed her
and all did appear to be well
But the limousine driver heard every harsh whisper
as they drove to the country hotel
In the Grand Hotel ballroom the guests were assembling
the champagne like tapwater flowed
The men wearing top hats, and fop coats and top coats
the women in bustles and bows
The bride抯 jealous sister sat alone in her place
and sneered as the couple came in
The maitre-de coughed and said 揚lease take your places,
the Banquet is about to begin?
The street doors burst open and an army of footman
swept in bearing salvers and trays
Fiddlers and clowns went from table to table
amid black smoke and cigarette haze
Noone saw the best man as he secretly winked
at the bride抯 jealous sister it seemed
And then cried out 揥aiter, Bring me more drink
and more Marilyn Monroe ice-cream?
When the wine had been poured and the tables were cleared
the toasts and the speeches began
The bride and groom cut the cake, everyone cheered!
then all eyes fell on the best man.
He climbed off his chair, and he licked his cracked lips
and declared in a voice cold and dry
揝he tricked and hijacked him, with guilt she trapped him
this day is a sham and a lie?
Her father leapt up with a curse and a roar
and slew the best man in the head
The groom cried 揃laggard!? and with a flash of his sword
his father-in-law fell down dead
The bride ran screaming in floods of bright tears
and collapsed at the foot of the stairs
Where her sister was waiting with scissors and shears
and hacked off every inch of her hair.
Up on the roof sat seven fat crows, the moon rose low in the west.
the groom was arrested still in his wedding clothes
And hanged in his pants and his vest
the bald-headed bride bought a ticket to Spain
And eloped with a wig-makers son
while her jealous mad sister, riven with shame
EVLEEN
May God bless
The bride and groom
May he bless them both
Their love to bloom
MEN AND WOMEN
May He bind
Them Evermore
St. Patrick smile kind
Upon them both
And bless their union
May God bless
The bride and groom
On this day
(dance music)
May God bless
The bride and groom
On this day
(dance music)
May God bless
The bride and groom
May he bless them both
Their love to bloom
I got dragged
Into this wedding with my friend Maurice
Hoping to dance and drink some fine champagne
Still get out early enough to drive your car
Out to the ocean
But the clouds were lost
And all the songs were sweet
Starry eyed
I'm sentimental and I get sucked in
To any union
Promising away
Like it's so easy to know how you'll be
Come anniversary
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
But it's a crime to sit and wonder
And oh, it's a crime, oh
If you knew, oh
If you knew, oh
I am in love with everyone here
I am in love with everyone here
No, I'm not in love with anyone dear
I'm not in love
She's in bloom
Her lips and shoulders dressing up this room
Dancing like the wedding's ended and.. ?
But I've got time
I've been around and I've got time
And it's a crime to sit and wonder
And God, it's a crime
I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a secret
Oh, I can keep a promise
No, I can't keep a...
Na, na, na, na, no
No, no, no
Don't give up on the hope
That keeps you breathing
Cause after all is said and done
It's all your lonely heart has
So look forward to your day of liberation
When you can stop grieving
So how much would it cost for you to gain everything
Everything you lost deserved to be gone anyway
So don't give up, yeah, don't give in
To the world around you that pressures you
To give up the fight, roll over and die
Forget the way you were
Song for the broken
So how much pain could you take
before you gave up
would you throw it all away
would you fight for that one day
when you heard your Savior say
when you heard your Savior say
my child I always knew you'd make it home
so walk through those gates of gold and claim your throne
So I wait for you to save me
So I wait for you to save me
Still I wait for you
To lift me off the ground and
Still I wait for you in the dark of the night
Cause I won't give up the fight
Still I wait for you in the dark of the night
Still I wait for you, again
Still I wait for you, again
Cause in the dark of the night is where you'll find me
Head held in my hands is where,
Still I wait for you
To lift me off my feet and
Still I wait for you in the dark of the night
Cause I won't give up give up the fight
Still I wait for you in the dark of the night
Still I wait for you, again
Still I wait for you, again
Cause in the dark of the night is where you'll find me
Head held in my hands is where,
Still I wait for you
Look at you now just standing there
Like you think you're something
The lights are up
And the crowd is looking your way
Swaying through what you live to say
So go ahead boy,
Give a little taste of hypocrisy
Maybe you'll hear, the blasphemy
Whatever you preach, it isn't in me
You wanna walk with me
do ya?
You wanna walk with me
Well if you love me
Then just love me
Don't you give me pretty words
Lay your life down at the altar
Let me see how serious you are
These people don't look to me
No more they got their idols
And various poems with lust in their eyes
They crave for more
To hate the place where the court played carnivores
Well, keep your focus
Because today will come
When everyone will give account
for what they've done
Make me proud
Make me proud my son
You wanna walk with me
do ya?
You wanna walk with me
Well if you love me
Then just love me
Don't you give me pretty words
Lay your life down at the altar
Let me see how serious you are
Look at this broken world
Look at my children, oh
Look at this broken world
Look at my children, oh
Cause they're angels
Sing to me the love song
Look up!
Say your prayers on the steps of the capital
Look up
Say your prayers on your knees
Look up!
Say your prayers, oh!
Look up!
Say your prayers
You want us to be like you always thought He would
And all you seem to accomplish is the opposite
You wanna walk with me
do ya?
You wanna walk with me
Well if you love me
Then just love me
Don't you give me pretty words
Lay your life down at the altar
Let me see how serious you are!
(Wonder why) Wonder why,
and push all the questions to the back of your mind
You try and try to figure out
(What this life's about when)
What this life's about,
And when the pain will end
And when we can start again
Chorus:
Not enough time to try for a rebound
look over and over it from the top down
pick pick pick pick pick pick it up,
not giving up thats true love x2
Oh heart of gold, your angel falling into my world unannounced
And try and try to figure out
(Figure out where I went wrong)
Where I went wrong and confused,
This pain with pleasure
What more is there to think about
(Chorus)
We thought we were close to reaching the prize,
but we gouge out our eyes at the terrible sight,
As our dreams crash and burn before our eyes,
The mother that stayed made a sacrifice,
So the family was loved, putting herself aside
but it always seemed that part of her died
The lights go out in my corner of the world tonight
And so do the lights in your eyes
Yeah so did the lights in your eyes
Now I don't want to preach at you,
I just care too much
To let you walk away from this
And He died, so never forget, forget His love
Yeah He died, to show us, the price you pay for love
I never said that this would be easy
In fact it's the hardest thing that you will ever do
But don't worry they will never capture you
You've already been set free from this
So right your wrongs and make your amends
We are running out of time
This is our song that we sing from the mountain
Can you hear it, can you hear it
This is our song that we sing to You
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Don't fall asleep yet
We haven't found a cure for what you have
And I need you here for one more night.
We'll talk about the stairs and how they stay in flight
Or anything to keep you from sleeping, love
So don't go yet
We could fall asleep under the window sill
And wake up to the morning light as it drifts across the room
Don't forget better days, so won't you stay
Keep one eye open
Keep one eye open, baby
You still haven't moved in quite sometime
But I'll stay right here till you wake up and if you don't
I'll stay here till the doctors pry my hand from yours and
Drag me from the room screaming louder than the ambulances
Anything to keep you from sleeping love, so don't go yet
Cause we all fall away sometimes
But it's ok, you know it's ok
He will pick us up
And point us the right way
Please stay...
And false accusations destroy relationships
I hope you're happy with all the lies you've spread
Well I say we change things up,
Trade out this hate with love
But it has got to start with us
Let's be the ones to move this city
If you're with me then say,
Whoa€yeah€
But if we fail we'll just keep trying till we make it
Whoa.yeah.
My strength is not determined by never messing up
But that every time that I fall down
Is one more time that I will get back up
I'll get back up
So choose your battles wisely
Get in line
Look around
Family is what you'll find
I've done so much wrong, it outweighs the (good) I've done so much wrong, it outweighs the good
I've found the hardest things to do
Are the ones I should.
But you gave me all the grace; I needed to get out.
And I will not forget it Lord, I will walk it out.
Chorus:
The Demon on my shoulder says
"You will pay for this.
Did you think you could escape all the consequences?"
But it is not in me;
it's in Your grace, that I'm set free.
I feel sick; it's something I can't (shake)
I feel sick, it's something I can't shake
And night after night it's keeping me awake.
Am I sorry that I hurt You,
Or that judgment finally came?
I will not pass it off on You
Cause I'm the one to blame.
(Chorus)
I know there's someway you can turn this around.
Don't give up on me yet; I'm not yet in the ground.
You've given me one more chance, a million times before.
But I still hear another one, knocking at my door
Won't you come and take a ride with me
I'll take you to all
Beautiful places that you've never seen
But you always wanted to
We're fighting against the mainstream
Against everything they tell us we should be
We're striving to mold our lives by our dreams
So our dreams can become reality
Won't you come and take a ride with me
I'll take you to all
Beautiful places you've never seen
But you always wanted to
And we'll find our hearts on this lonely stretch of road
And I will be there
We're trying to win our hearts back in a world
Where we just don't know who we are
We're trying to win our hearts in a world where
The others are the ones who wear the crown
So follow your heart and you
Will find it on on your own
And it'll all become clear by the time we make it home
And we'll always remember
These talks that we've had
And I will be there
We drive all day and drive all night
You're a part of this fight.
Don't let that sleeping dog lie, boy
Cause everywhere we go they want more
Than what the world can offer.
Bring it back one more time.
I can't keep quiet the things that I gotta say.
Chorus:
They bring 'em in on stretchers and when they leave they're walking out.
That's what our God's about, ok? (x2)
Here we go, are you ready?
We're making strides we're doing fine,
We're just starting to climb.
You better get yourself in line.
Cause we don't have time we're moving forward and we'll never stop.
So make up your mind you're either with us son or you're not.
I can't keep quiet the things that I gotta say.
(Chorus)
Move over. Move over
'Cause you're starting to drag me down.
And I won't let anything stop me now.
Take your place here with me.
INTERLUDE HAS NO LYRICS, IT IS JUST LIKE THERE OTHER SONG "DEATH BY XANGA"(its not really an "other song" its the same song, just different names).
We got a lot to learn but we're a whole lot farther a long than where we've been before.
And we're all put together by the hands of God.
But it was you, the piece He used, to keep me from falling apart.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we'll tear the world wide open.
I drove all night; the darkness could not keep me all alone.
You're sleeping tight but the morning sun and the streets say I'm almost home.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we'll tear the world wide open.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we'll tear the world wide open.
We keep moving forward till we've gone too far.
But we left our hearts way back in Arkansas.
And on the phone saying what, oh what is wrong baby.
Well if we go, we go the distance
We go all out.
And if you force us to fight we go for the knockout.
We haven't always been the same men
We are today.
It took fire to purify us what didn't burn is what remained.
Chorus:
If we run then we run,
but we won't be the same.
Leaving excuses for the weak.
If we run then we run, but we won't be the same.
And we'll only have ourselves to blame.
We are growing ever stronger
The more we die.
The enemy will never take us; will never take us alive!
Sometimes it's with our eyes closed
that we find our sight.
Sometimes it's in the darkness
we see the light.
Today I stopped asking what it means
And just believed.
You gotta believe; right now.
And now the truth of it is we already got all that we'll ever need
They take off their coats and they start to fill the rows.
The scene is all laid out; it's what we always dreamed about.
Chorus:
Cause you and me have stood the test of time
and proved that we will make it out all right.
Today is when faith will turn to sight.
The preacher takes his place, all eyes watching as I wait.
The doors open wide and I can't believe my eyes.
(Chorus)
Funny thing is it doesn't matter much,
what the world could try and throw at us.
Cause they could never touch us now
One shot is all you've got
To make your mark, to make your difference
One chance, but you don't understand this
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
Life is but a breath
Don't waste it
Cause your time is limited
All you have is the breath already exiting your lungs
If you won't live, you might as well die
You can't afford to lead that life
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
Life is but a breath
Don't waste it
Hands down, no regrets
Life has its hands around my neck
Fight back, no regrets
Life has it's hands around our necks
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
Life is but a breath
Don't waste it
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
Life is but a breath
Don't waste it
These times they leave you bleeding for hope
And wishing that someone would take you home
Will you be the one who cares and were I can run to
Cause' you're everything I want
And you're everything I needed
These times they leave you feeling so lost
And hating whatever it is you've become
And all of the hope that you dare to hold will lead you home
Cause' you're everything I want
And you're everything I needed
And you threw down heaven's doors
Cause' you wanted to be everything to me
Cause' you're everything I want
And you're everything I needed
And you threw down heaven's doors
Cause' you wanted to be everything to me
So I'll take my chances on the road again
So I'll take my chances on the road again
So sick and tired of this fighting
We haven't left camp yet
And wars have broken out on all sides
Whatever happened to loyalty getting the upper hand on jealousy
Take the stand it's gonna take to change the tide
And as we drive through the night
We'll be thinking of you
We'll be thinking of you
As we drive through the night,
We'll be thinking of you
We'll be thinking of you
Well I wish that these feet would grow roots
Become a part of this ground
So I'd have somewhere to belong
And as the sun rises above the battlefield where brothers fell
I promise it won't end for me that way
And each other is all that we have left
They can't take that away
You put your stock in a girl you'd swear was all your own.
But all the while you think you have something that you don't,
And it took a while to walk away from that.
Yeah it took a while to walk away from that.
It's like I'd always say.
Chorus:
Fireworks on the fourth of July making up the plans,
Up the plans that you made.
Nobody cares if there's no girl by your side.
They're staring at the painted sky.
I close my eyes and pretend your sitting here with me.
While I try to put my finger on exactly what it was that made you leave.
Yeah it took some time to walk away from that.
Yeah it took some time to walk away from that
And time is all that I have.
(Chorus)
It goes like this and we never walk away,
sthe past is the past but it's here to stay.
(Chorus)
Pull it together boy you don't look so well and you got nothing but time to kill
I'll see You in the Morning at the Break of Daylight
But if You Wake up and I'm Gone I'll see You on the Other Side
Late Nights Talking, We stood by the Window by Ourselves
Remembering the Starry Nights and Wishing they Would be Ours
And now We Wonder, What Happened to Those Times
Cause I'd Give Any Thing To Have You Here, Tonight
When You're Kids Like Us You Do Whatever
Whatever it Takes
To Get To Where We are Now
Nothing Holds You Back, When You're Kids Like Us
Chasing Our Dreams and Living Life for Every Second
Nothing Holds You Back, When You're Kids Like Us
So Chase You're Dreams, And Live You're Life for Every Second
I want it all and I want nothing, all at the same time,
because I am the one that they warned me about
I won't ask for any handouts,
I'll take what I need in time,
because I am the one that they warned me about.
It just goes on and on
I am my own worst enemy.
I sink my teeth into the hand that feeds.
I curse and praise in the same breath.
Which man in the mirror is the one that's left?
Now it's never too late for coming clean,
I'll let you in but I won't let you out.
I bottled up all of regrets and I threw them into the sea,
I'll let you in but I won't let you out.
And it goes on and on.
I am my own worst enemy.
I sink my teeth into the hand that feeds.
I curse and praise in the same breath.
Which man in the mirror is the one that's left?
Well just let me tell you, pretty baby,
the only thing holding me back was my pride,
and I can assure you, pretty baby,
that it's much better to be a fool in their eyes.
I am my own worst enemy.
I sink my teeth into the hand that feeds.
I curse and praise in the same breath.
Which man in the mirror is the one that's left?
If all you are is a little confused, then all your sins are excused
That's what you thought, well didn't you?
All this work means nothing without you
It's elementary at best
When your voice is the one thing that wakes up the morning
Just lay my heart to rest
It's water under the bridge
You say it's gone when it passes here
And you won't bring it up again, so I won't bring it up again
It's water under the bridge
You say it's gone when it passes here
And I won't bring it up again
And all of my heroes, they have fallen
But I will not be next
So come whatever may
You think you're a tough guy
I can't feel heaven anymore
Now conversation's useless
I'm wasting all my time
You're not the same person
I remember in my mind
I told my old man not to worry
We all get there someday
It's all in the journey
And who you love along the way
Conversation's useless
I'm wasting all my time
You're not the same person
I remember in my mind
It's never been this cold before,
Now it's getting to me
Writing my thoughts home to you
Not knowing if i'll ever see your face again, again
So wake the regiment
We're marching on tonight
This is what we live for, this is what we live for
So wake the regiment
We're taking back what's ours
Home is what we die for, home is what we die for
Now memories of yesteryear
They're enough to get me through just one more time
I'm thinking about you and all the things that you've taught me in this life
I'll remember till I die
So wake the regiment
We're marching on tonight
This is what we live for, this is what we live for
So wake the regiment
We're taking back what's ours
Home is what we die for, home is what we die for
So I'll kiss the morning air and fly away
I used to hold you close,
But now your picture frames
They're the closest you will ever be to me
And I rejoice at our dismissal
Like I've finally been set free
And now our pictures drift
They drift farther
And farther and farther away
And the pieces of our
Relationship become nothing more
Than curbside clutter
Than curbside clutter
So I'll kiss the morning air and fly away
Fly away from here today, today, today
And I'll kiss the morning air and fly away
Fly away from here today
You better take a seat, yeah, stay a while
I'm about to wear you out
And I'm not afraid to tell
You what this is all about
Now the world around me is slowly blending together
Like a wheel of colors
Are we so different you and I
Are we so different you and I
You loved me, and I loved you not
There's the door
Don't let it hit you on the way out
I got it all planned out,
I'll drive out to the edge of your yard
And we'll rip our tear drenched photographs apart
And watch them drift over the rooftops of this lonely southern town
Now I don't care,
If you cry for an entire year
But by then I hope you can make your peace
You gotta get, get over yourself a little,
to see the grass is green.
You gotta get, get over yourself a little
to see the grass is green.
You make this all worthwhile,
you get better by the mile.
Even when it tears you apart,
you do your best not to show it.
Its me that you can do without,
but you chose to stick it out.
And without you there is no doubt.
I would break under the burden
You gotta get, get over yourself a little,
to see the grass is green.
You gotta get, get over yourself a little,
to see the grass is green.
Just try love
And I am so self involved,
yeah I am so typical,
you could call my every move now baby.
But your a mid summers dream,
yeah you are so pristine.
And in the end everything you do
is just for me.
You gotta get, get over yourself a little,
to see the grass is green.
you gotta get, get over yourself a little,
to see the grass is green.
Just try love
why do you even bother with me
Please, tell me what is it you see
Just try love
Why do you even bother with me.
So put on your dancing shoes,
because this beat is for you.
Every rhythm and note
thought perfectly through
Its the least I could do,
after what we've been through.
I wrote these words cause I love you,
only you.
You gotta get, get over yourself alittle,
to see the grass is green.
You gotta get, get over yourself alittle,
to see the grass is green.
Just try love
why do you even bother with me
please tell me what is it you see
just try love
Why do you even bother with me
Just try love
Just try love
We've been here for four long years,
Been a lot of smiles and a lot of tears.
I've known more men that died in here
Than friends I've had the last 40 years.
I'm a long, long way from home
Sending my life through a telephone.
Right now, my life is this gun, and I'll use it
To get back to my son.
(Chorus:)
We're making our last stand on
This lost and lonely ground,
Believing in the end it counts for something.
Yea-ah Yeah Yeah
I can't wait to get to heaven,
but I'm pretty sure I've already
Been to hell.
It's the love-hate part of it
A captain goes down with his ship.
But I've made my choice, and this is it:
This is the life that I must live.
(Chorus)
I'll leave it on my arm if you can tell.
To all my friends, I bid you well.
I'll leave it on my arm if you can tell.
I bid you well, I bid you well.
Will we ever get it?
Lay down your life, and follow me in through the dark. (Whoa)
We'll never know if we are too afraid to start. (Whoa)
Just keep your head down; it won't be your final march. (Whoa)
This is the only chance we'll have to leave our mark
(Whoa)
Redemption is waiting at your doorstep
He is begging you to let him in now
You can put all of it off again
But where's it gonna get you in the end?
The time is now so maybe you should think things out,
Yea, take some time and think about it now.
This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
And don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it) (x2)
Cause the time is now
And take your life back with a vengeance
For the first time you cannot have true love
Promise me you'll never sleep again
Cause until you find the answers there's no rest.
To put to death the life you've lived in doubt
I'll show you all the things you've heard about
This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
Don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it) (x2)
You are on the verge
Let go
Go on staring at the light
If you let go and just believe
You won't make a liar out of me
Come try and show me what you see
What I have is what you need
This is the only chance to do something about it (something about it)
And don't you put it off (cause you can't live without it) (x4)
This is the only chance
You've got so much life to live
and so much hurt to give,
so don't grow up so fast.
Yeah don't grow up so fast
Try being young when you're young,
you'll have time to rest when you're gone.
Balancing the wire, now you're holding on.
Just let go and take the fall.
Chorus:
Mom and Dad will be just fine.
Follow me back down into the southside.
Follow me back down into the southside (x2)
Sweet, sweet adolescence...
thought it would be better, but it isn't... sweet disappointment.
Fighting for the wrong side you figured out,
it's never too late to make a difference now.
There's nothing that can ever hold you down.
Take â'em out.
(Chorus)
Like the feeling of being singled out, I think it's time we run for cover now.
Or take the blame.
It's not a game, and there is no way out.
I think it's time we run for cover now.
Just take the blame.
OCHESTRA and CHORUS:
Let's not waste a moment,
Let's not lose a day; (There's no reason in the world,
No reason in the world)
There's a short forever,
Not too far away. (There's no reason in the world,
Why I should stay
And ev'ry reason I should go)
We don't have to hear the clock remind us
That there's more than half of life behind us,
Let's not waste a moment,
Oh, look, another moment's gone!
Look, another moment's gone!
(Do you swear to
Love me forever and ever)
I do, I do, I swear to
Always love you (love you)
With all my heart and soul
(Heart and soul) forever and ever
I'll marry you (marry you)
And never go away (go away)
And we'll become as one (as one)
On our wedding day
We'll walk down the aisle
The preacher will smile
We'll make our life worthwhile
I'll say that I do
You'll say that you do too
And the priest will
Pronounce us man and wife
The memory (memory)
Will always be with me (with me)
As we exchange our vows (our vows)
On our wedding day
OCHESTRA and CHORUS:
Let's not waste a moment,
Let's not lose a day; (There's no reason in the world,
No reason in the world)
There's a short forever,
Not too far away. (There's no reason in the world,
Why I should stay
And ev'ry reason I should go)
We don't have to hear the clock remind us
That there's more than half of life behind us,
Let's not waste a moment,
Oh, look, another moment's gone!
Look, another moment's gone!
Look, another moment's gone!
I used to know a place back in time , where lakes were crystal and mountains so high
I can remember a forest so bright , when roses of May used to bloom in the night
There was a place where love would find its way between a celt king and a northern girl
Hail to the groom , hail to the bride
Seven white pigeons were set free in the sky
The crowd cheered loud in the night until the daylight
We sail in the ight forever we’ll fight her face a mirror reflecting my eyes
And now my friend we’re approaching the end
You taste like sugar, oh it taste so sweet.
We we're walking under beauty and under the leaves.
As we kissed like legend under old oak tree,
we were sitting on a bench "Will you marry me?"
The wind blew across my face.
It blew dust up like we were out on the desert plains.
Like some kind of 80's movie.
Where Michael is out to get us.
And we run. So cue the choir in.
Cause girl you're looking so beautiful.
Cue the symphony cause girl you're looking so beautiful.
But oh! This isn't what you think it is.
But oh! This isn't what you think it is.
The smell of the pews used to make me sick.
But now I'm here with you, and loving every minute of it.
We're standing holding hands. Well this is the wedding.
Oh, It Seems that his life wasn't meant for you.
You've had so many many years to be oh so lonely.
Now your mind is yelling darling settle down,
Buy a car and search for wedding gowns,
Cuz he's so undeserving.
He missed his flight back home.
Another 200 dollars, he knows,
She's worth the time
So he gets back in his car and drives.
This is no nightmare.
How'd you let this happen?
You should have stayed there,
But you let her go.
Turned your spineless back and just let her go.
Oh, I know that his life wasn't meant for you.
Let me take you out, a night for two, Ms. lonely.
Could he ever buy you any diamond rings?
I could give you almost anything.
I'm so God Damn Amazing.
He left the tour too late.
It's just a couple more miles,
He hopes she'll wait for him,
He knows she'll wait for him.
This is no nightmare.
How'd you let this happen?
You should have stayed there,
But you let her go.
Turned your spineless back and just let her go.
You by my side, that's how I see us.
I close my eyes, and I can see us.
We're on our way to say I do.
My secret dreams have all come true.
I see the church, I see the people.
Your folks and mine happy and smiling.
And I can hear sweet voices singing, Ave Maria.
Oh my love, my love this can really be.
That someday you'll walk down the aisle with me.
Let it be, make it be that I'm the one for you.
I'll be yours, all yours, now and forever.
I see us now, your hand in my hand.
This is the hour, this is the moment.
And I can hear sweet voices singing, Ave Maria.
O Blessed Jesus Christ
O Blessed Jesus Christ
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy
