I’m not reaching far when I’d wager a bet that those few years are the best that we get. One day we’ll be six feet in the ground, bones in a hole and homeward-fucking bound. I don’t know where I’m going today or tomorrow, but I’ll be there. She said, “Put on your street clothes, get up and go; we’ll drive further than the city will go. There’s more to this once you get through the door, from the top of the world to the ocean floor.” But it’s not you - it’s that I don’t believe, that you’ll get anywhere with your heart on your sleeve. Maybe I’m a cynic, but I won’t take a chance. I’d rather be alive than live a romance. I don’t know where I’m going today or tomorrow, but I’ll be there. She said, “Put on your street clothes, get up and go; we’ll drive further than the city will go.” I don’t know where I’m going today or tomorrow, but I’ll be there.

I hear that voice over the phone; say what you want to a dial tone. Cause you know you make me sick. Live that lie, but leave me out of it. Driving through these turnpike gates, so much hate for exit eight. Oh, to broken hearts and empty shores, to things that aren’t forever anymore. Oh, to the things we never said, to the life that I’ve been living in my head. Why’s everything have to be bad? Be happy with the life you have. Drink a bottle every day and we can chase your dreams away. We can chase those dreams away. Something’s wrong with all I do, fuck you exit thirty-two. Oh, to broken hearts and empty shores, to things that aren’t forever anymore. Oh, to the things we never said, to the life that I’ve been living in my head. You. Don’t. Leave. Something. You don’t leave something for nothing.

Say goodbye to all my friends, this new beginning is the end to a life that no one knows. Where’s that place we still call home? Breathe deep in the dead air; life isn’t always fair. Pacing up and down the stairs, don’t you. The person I think you can be is who I’d like to live for me. And if you make it around the bend, don’t be afraid to love again. Breathe deep in the dead air; life isn’t always fair. Pacing up and down the stairs, don’t you dare. Breathe deep in the dead air; is there anyone anywhere? Are there words to make you care? Don’t you dare. No time for the reason, it’s our broken season, ending - just beginning. Don’t you dare.

Out of sight, out of time, little things amuse little minds. Third strike’s up ten strikes ago, you have to be high to get so low. Fool me once, shame on you. The thread is cut so pull me through. Fool me twice, shame on you. I’m done doing what you tell me too. I’m moving on. Someday I’ll be gone; you’ll know I’m moving on. Until that day finally comes. Another place, another time, this would make me lose my mind. Broken hearts and empty shores, if that’s all you got what are you fighting for? I’m well versed in loyalty, how to shake my ability? Spit in my face, that’s what you’ll do. It takes the life right out of you. I’m moving on. By tomorrow I’ll be gone; you’ll know I’m moving on. Until that day finally comes, I’m moving on. Though I might not be a brilliant man, I’m moving on. Though I might be living in my head. Another time, another place, the last day I’ll ever put to waste. Cause that’s not what life means to me, if I’m all beat up at least I’m what I be. You never wanted to be more than this: a nothing love and a parting kiss. So say the shit you’re gonna say, I don’t give a fuck about you anyway. I’m moving on. One foot, two foot out the door, I’m moving on. You’re not my problem anymore; I’m moving on. So I might be living in your head; I’m moving on. If that’s the last thing I ever say to you: I’m moving on. I’m moving on. I’m moving.

You know that I’m watching you watching me, don’t wanna wait my turn. All the love I talked myself out of, it’s one less lesson learned. With your smile in the rearview and the wind across my face, the world I used to think I loved is gone without a trace - since you came into my life. Now the things I thought I knew dissolve. Never lived till I found you, bizarre. What would I do without you? Mayday. Mayday. It’s all uphill from here. Mayday, in the best way. You know that I don’t have a plan, but I have a dream. And it’s a better life when you wear it on your sleeve - and it’s time to take that chance. Now the things I thought I knew dissolve. Never lived till I found you, bizarre. What would I do without you? Mayday. Mayday. It’s all uphill from here. Mayday, in the best way. These are the things I’m sure of now. How did we get here anyhow? I fell in love to a song we sing, to wordless glances, to second chances. It’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere.

While I can eliminate the ending, you know I can’t stop what I am thinking. And I look scared, but I don’t know the problem. You know I pray that I can see tomorrow. I know, I’ll go, into the great unknown. While you say nothing is forever, I’d like to think you never should say never. Cause I am scared, but I don’t know the issue. You know I pray that I won’t have to miss you. I know, you go, into the great unknown, but not today. So I go on, my boat against the current. I’m getting by, so frail and oh-so-broken. I live with fear, a drug that I’ve befriended. I drift away, a book without an ending. I go, you go, someday we’ll all go, but not today. Not today. Someday we’ll all go.

l’ll find out what you’re all about, in time, without a shadow of a doubt. And if you knew me way back when, I’d never be your friend. So draw me up with a lie and a smile. We can die here for a little while. It’s wearing down on me, how can nobody see? This smile fades out from my face, leaves a bitter disgrace in it’s place. I wish it wasn’t so cliché, but everyone has their day. If today’s mine, let’s do it right, cause I haven’t slept a single night. Times change and I guess I do too, it’s amazing the things you can do. What if I do? What if I’m over and out? What if I take a little piece and let the blood run out? Won’t turn back when the clock strikes three am, ain’t gonna let you tell me who I am. If it’s all you have to give, why should you even live? Cause this is who I wanna be; I’m living better without chemistry. If you’re wondering what changed my mind…What if I did? What if I’m over you now? What if I - so I could help you down? What if I told you once? What if I told you twice? What if I - cause I’ve had enough of you.

I walk the shore in my bare feet in the dead of night, I got you by side. But how’d we get here? What happened to yesterday? It feels a million miles away. Remember the night we spent high in the waves and waited till morning came. Or the songs we’d sing till the road hits ocean, restart ...Like Clockwork again. Falling through, time too soon, covered in you. Memories barely hold me up. They’re just as precious, but never enough. The Ferris wheel spins hypnotically in the sky to a chorus of coaster cries. And I get the feeling these might be the days of our lives, though we live for the night. Remember when we got drunker than we’ve ever been, still got into work by ten? The laughs and drugs we shared, the friends that we made, for some reason we got paid. Over my head. In the red. Pick me up in the rain and drive me home to place I’ve never been. Falling through, time too soon, covered in you. Memories barely hold me up. They’re just as precious, but never enough. What would we do without Spins, Mike and Melanie? Did happiness set us free and let us live like we were meant to be? In Wildwood by the sea? Over my head. In the red. Pick me up in the rain and drive me home to place I’ve never been. Falling through, time too soon, covered in you. Memories barely hold me up. They’re just as precious, but never enough. But never enough. Did happiness set us free in Wildwood by the sea? Thanks, live, love, smile and breathe.

I’m all alive in an unfamiliar place with a bruise on my neck and a smile on my face. In the back of your car, in the back of my head, are the things I never said. So I’ll say them now if you’ll listen: you’re what life means to me. I’m wide awake, but I’m asleep. Or I must be and this all must be a dream. Oh, can’t believe you happened to me. All I have to give is everything. And the songs we write are not the songs we sing. Take me back to bed and pull the covers down. I fell in love and I don’t even know how. You’re what life means to me. I’m wide awake, but I’m asleep. Or I must be and this all must be a dream. Oh, can’t believe you happened to me.

You’re the only thing on my mind, I’m running in place and out of time. And I don’t wanna be your friend; you make me love so hard I’ll never do it again. See you at the end of time, you know I can’t lie. And I don’t wanna get wet, but you dry and I’m alright. See you at the end. Cause this is not a perfect world, even if you are the perfect one, for me, you see. And I’ll go on living in a dream. I’ve never fallen down before. Who knew that love was so much more than a thing that you can build? It’s a thing forever. See you at the end of time, you know I can’t lie. And I don’t wanna get wet, but you dry and I’m alright. See you at the end of time, you know I can’t lie. I’ll see you at the end of time. I never thought I’d understand what it’s like on the other side. You see, it’s you and me, I’ll be the one if you’ll be the love of my life. You make me be a different me, the one I always wanted to be. And when I look in the mirror, I think it loves me back. See you at the end of time, you know I can’t lie. And I don’t wanna get wet, but you dry and I’m alright. See you at the end of time, you know I can’t lie. I’ll see you at the end of time. Cause it’s so hard to lose someone, but it’s so beautiful to find someone else. And I’m not gonna let reason tear me from heaven and put me in hell. It’s not the faults in ourselves, but the faults in our stars. I fell in love with everything you are. Cause I fell off the edge today and I’m following you the rest of the way. Life is fleeting, love is forever and I’ll see you at the end of the world.

I’ve seen the writing on the walls, from here it looks so small, like nothing at all. Maybe you can catch the summer sky; you’ll never know if you never try, so don’t let it pass you by. I found myself those Friday nights in fireworks and neon lights. It’s so easy to be afraid of the things you’ll never say. It feels like dying way up here, like whispers in your ear from out beyond the pier. The best moments that I’ve ever known are the ones I just let go of a place that I call home. The way doesn’t find you, find the way. It’s not yesterday or tomorrow, but today. And I know I’m here to stay. Behind the wheel with the car in drive there’s rain on fifty-five. And I feel so alive. I found myself those Friday nights in fireworks and neon lights. It’s so easy to be afraid of the things you’ll never say. So I’ll scream it for the world to hear, cause I’ve spent too long living in fear and I don’t wanna live like that. I’m not gonna live like that. I’m not gonna cry because it’s over, cause it’s only just begun, you and me and the setting sun. I don’t know where I’m going today or tomorrow, but I know one thing’s for sure: that I’ll be there.
