i see the sun go down on the river..
vad soarele apune pe rau...
i feel the wind blow out of state to gray,
Simt că vântul suflă din stare în gri,
i feel the air around you its kinda closing in, do you feel it
Simt că aerul din jurul tău se cam apropie, îl simți?
fall or do you feel at all. i can.
cazi sau simti deloc. pot.
i see the world keep moving as i stumble.
Văd că lumea continuă să se miște în timp ce mă împiedic.
they seem to move much faster than me,
par să se miște mult mai repede decât mine,
and while i sit in my 4 cornered room dividing hearts for a little girl
și în timp ce stau în camera mea cu 4 colțuri, împărțind inimile pentru o fetiță
well i cant be anything but who i am.
Ei bine, nu pot fi altceva decât cine sunt.
and i wish you would stay, that was the beginning of the two of us, the
și mi-aș dori să rămâi, acesta a fost începutul celor doi
start of our show.
începutul spectacolului nostru.
stay stay stay oh i would never have let go.
rămâi stai rămâi oh, nu mi-aș fi lăsat niciodată drumul.
i see the sun go up as your image and i feel the weight of your eyes as you
Văd soarele răsărind ca imaginea ta și simt greutatea ochilor tăi ca tine
stare
privirea
i feel it all when you when you thirst when you kissed my lips
Simt totul când ți-e sete când mi-ai sărutat buzele
you used to make me feel at home you make me feel at home you make me feel
obișnuiai să mă faci să mă simt ca acasă mă faci să mă simt ca acasă mă faci să mă simt

Așa că ia această inimă a mea că ai luat-o de o sută de mii de ori, da, dar asta

i see the door close down behind you
Văd ușa închizându-se în spatele tău
i watch ur face turn from glow to straight grey
Văd cum fața ta trece de la strălucire la gri drept
i see the moon go up and it shines this glory on my face who wouldve known
Văd luna ridicându-se și strălucește această glorie pe fața mea care ar fi știut
who wouldve known who wouldve known
cine ar fi știut cine ar fi știut

The Money Tree
Arborele Banilor
Track 3
Pista 3
I'm standin' on an open world
Stau pe o lume deschisă
I've gotta try so hard for myself
Trebuie să încerc atât de mult pentru mine
Not including the ones that I love
Fără ai include pe cei pe care îi iubesc
I call my family
Îmi sun familia
It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
Nu este greu când te concentrezi pe o fată frumoasă
A brand new baby, she's a baby girl
Un copil nou-nouț, e o fetiță
And yes she is a cutie like her mommy
Și da, este o drăguță ca și mama ei
She looks like her mommy
Seamănă cu mama ei
We both know who we are
Amândoi știm cine suntem
And I'm not changing a thing,
Și nu schimb nimic,
I've never changed before
Nu m-am schimbat niciodată
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
Dacă să mă iubești este muncă, nu sunt o slujbă de luat
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
Cred că ne îndreptăm spre sfâșierea nebunească
I'm wonderin' why I'm sittin' here, alone again
Mă întreb de ce stau din nou aici, singur
Why you always crush me,
De ce mă zdrobești mereu,
Why it's never easy
De ce nu este niciodată ușor
Easy, easy, easy, it's not easy
Ușor, ușor, ușor, nu este ușor
This is you, this is me,
Acesta ești tu, acesta sunt eu,
You won't be a part of what we need to be
Nu vei face parte din ceea ce trebuie să fim
Not for me, for the future of us three
Nu pentru mine, pentru viitorul celor trei
For our daughter college, family, sudden-health emergencies
Pentru fiica noastră colegiu, familie, urgențe de sănătate bruște
You think it's easy pickin' money off my Money Tree?
Crezi că este ușor să scoți bani din Arborele meu Bani?
With two houses, both cars,
Cu două case, ambele mașini,
I paid off your fucking credit card debt,
Ți-am plătit nenorocita datoria cardului de credit,
Did you already forget? Huh?
Ai uitat deja? huh?
You threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, huh
Amenințați, amenințați, amenințați, amenințați, amenințați, nu
Just fucking leave,
Pleacă dracului,
Find a man who will put up with this
Găsește un bărbat care să suporte asta
We both know who we are
Amândoi știm cine suntem
And I'm not changing a thing,
Și nu schimb nimic,
I've never changed before
Nu m-am schimbat niciodată
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
Dacă să mă iubești este muncă, nu sunt o slujbă de luat
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
Cred că ne îndreptăm spre sfâșierea nebunească
I can't help but think
Nu pot să nu mă gândesc
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Cât de bine ești cu fiica noastră
Half the time a single mother
Jumătate din timp o mamă singură
When I go away it's so that you can always stay home
Când plec, este ca să poți sta mereu acasă
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
Și urmărește-ți copilul crește, crește-l în modul corect
You never take it that way
Nu o iei niciodată așa
We both know who we are
Amândoi știm cine suntem
And I'm not changing -
Și nu mă schimb -
I need support, not a slap in the face
Am nevoie de sprijin, nu de o palmă în față
You have to trust me or I'm sure this will blow up in your face
Trebuie să ai încredere în mine sau sunt sigur că asta îți va exploda în față
Our love was such an angel, she doesn't even know
Dragostea noastră a fost un astfel de înger, ea nici măcar nu știe
We've torn each other down in ways we don't even know
Noi am
We both know who we are
And I'm not changing a thing,
I've never changed before
If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take
I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak
I can't help but think
Of how good you are with our baby daughter
Half the time a single mother
When I go away it's so that you can always stay home
And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way
It's me the one who has his family's future at heart
It's you the one who never wants a family apart
We both know that together we can only believe
That if we cut the shit there'd be no reason to leave

For The Love
Track 4
Communication.
I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to.
We get together and we talk. Like we used to.
But you don't want to.
You want a separation. And now that's strike three.
I tried everything, I work so hard for you
To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you.
I put my heart in a dream.
And now that dream, it makes sure the baby she has food to eat
And your fancy house gets paid for, ya hear me!
You never learned one thing. No, you never believed in me.
So if you're gonna leave, get out. Just remember this is what I'm all
About.
I do it for the love. I do it for the rain.
I do it for the passion, do it for the pain.
I do it for the rush. I do it for the doubt.
I do it for my daughter, man, cuz she's what I'm about.
I do it for my mom, do it for my dad.
I do it for my sanity, it's hangin' from a thread.
I do it for the audience who understands the need.
Stand it on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed.
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down.
Just remember that I told you it's what I'm all about.
(Wait, wait, wait)
(Same chord progessions til the end...)
I missed the tour, you told me not to come home again
An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze.
(You gotta be kidding) NO!
How hard that was because, cuz your voice so crooked and wrong.
You would bury your intentions like a mother fucking nuclear bomb.
I lived in a hotel room til the day she was born.
And I never knew what words to say that could get us through our first
Chance at divorce.
You promised change and I believed and walked right back into the same.
So if you're gonna leave, yeh Go away!
I do it for the love. I do it for the rain.
I do it for the passion, do it for the pain.
I do it for the rush. I do it for the doubt.
I do it for my daughter, man, cuz she's what I'm about.
I do it for my mom, do it for my dad.
I do it for my sanity, hangin' from a thread.
I do it for the audience who understands my need.
Stand it on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed.
I do it for my brother, I do it for his wife.
I do it for my manager, cuz God, he saved my life.
I do it for the confidence, do it for release.
I do it cuz I'm sick of feelin' sad, it's for the peace.
I do it for the sunshine, for my friends
I did it for you. For you over and over and over again.
But you'll never understand. (so fuck it)
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down.
Just remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about.
(Get out! )
I do it for the love. I do it for the rain.
I do it for the passion, do it for the pain.
I do it for the rush. I do it for the doubt.
I do it for my daughter, man, cuz she's what I'm about.
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad.
I do it for my sanity, it's hangin' from a thread.
I do it for the audience who understands the need.
Stand it on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed.
I do it for the love. For the love.
Do it for the love. For the love.
Yeah, I do it for the love.
Do it, do it, do it. For the love, for my daughter.
So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down.
Just remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about.

Drama Everything
Track 5
Let me start with I've let you go
But you don't get it, though
Politely I've asked you to leave,
But still you follow
It's hard when you're full of heart
When the house you built just falls apart
Well keep the paint fresh, keep the outside clean
Make sure the neighbors see you wear that ring
Don't tell them a thing, they don't know you like me
You're the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
Everybody stop, wait, look, see
You're the girl that could lie to my face
And fabricate a flood to get through to me
I went away and you found a replacement
So call him, don't call me
To the girl that cries, "Water in the basement"
You drama everything
I heard a good friend once say
"You got one life, live it, 'cause they'll take it away"
From both of us, one day, you know they will
So colour it up, colour it up
Say your last goodbye, I don't give a fuck
Bottoms up, just watch me walk away I'm here to say that
I don't need your sorry dreaming What makes you think you can
Tell me how I to feel or how hard I should fall
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now you listen
Oh my, you're not anything I need in my life
No, you're not anything I even want
'cause they don't know you like me
Here's what you gotta do
Hold you head high
Shoot first, man, don't ask why
Yeah, you won't feel the pain at all
Well I guess I, grew this mind
I think for myself and I'm fine
No, I don't need anything from you at all
They don't know you like me
Blue October
The Chills
Track 6
Intro/Chorus:
Verse:
Take my hand
Maybe we should run away
Maybe we should disappear
Leave everything behind
Like the useless things
Boxes labeled memories
The sudden health emergencies
Yeah we could leave those things behind
Show me, show me arms that reach for all we can be
Through understanding, I tried forgiveness,
I faced the past, it's what I witnessed
Why do I only feel the chills when I'm with you?
I only hear your words that you say are true
But you keep thinking it over, thinking it over,
You can catch me if you wanted to, oh
Now, why you gotta say goodbye
When you know you're gonna come with me
No, can't afford to leave and stay
You're gonna have to just build one way
So tell me, tell me all the things you told me we could be
Through understanding, I tried forgiveness,
I faced the past, it's what I witnessed
I only feel the chills when I'm with you
I feel like I'm so high, I'm feeling so high
C-catch me, C-C-catch me
Why does a heart always have to break
(when you're trying way too hard), have to break
(yes she'll see right though you), have to break
Oh communication, yeah conversation,
It breaks down
Now there will be nothing to talk about,
(absolutely nothing, just blah blah blah)

The Flight (Lincoln To Minneapolis)
Track 7
No joke took a breath and then awoke
I was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Saying "Sir, can you help me? Ma'am could you please?"
So they led me to the pay phone. Flaggin' down the police.
"Mr. Officer I know who I am. But the rest of me,
My memory, I just don't understand.
I do know that I'm unsafe, man with a plan of gettin' on a plane.
Fly away to kill a man."
Like a freight train threat to myself.
I gotta history of blackouts, bad mental health so?
Both cops each arm alarm. No harm disarm pat down do the body check.
Next thing I was walking on the airfield.
Back seat I was headed to the hospital.
I'm sorry for the drama that I bring. Through the screen he said
"Son you did the right thing." Em G Am Am
Please help me understand.
Why you can't talk man to man.
But you can stand with your dick in your hand.
Why you acting like a pussy, man?
Please help me understand why you can't talk man to man.
But you can stand with your dick in your hand.
You acting like a pussy, man.
I was faithful to the wifey now we separated.
Used to try to win her back I underestimated.
Like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact.
That you gave that ass up and never fucking dated.
See you're better than that.
You're a diamond he's a rough real tough, man.
Call a brother back. Just a pussy with a dick.
Stand up and be a fucking man. Hiding from the husband.
Scared to make a peep and livin' up in Lincoln.
Now I'm in the deep end.
Think I'm gonna break in smash your fucking face in.
Cut you up with lemon juice and watch you try to fuck then.
Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?
(please help me understand)
(why can't talk man to man)
Is that beat up...is that beat up yet?
I wish that I were man enough to turn my back and leave.
To forget all the tricks you pull and hide them in my sleeve.
I know what's best for table play, I know what's best for me.
I know this life is way too short, to let you kill a dream.
I know you're capable to only love me when I'm there.
I know it's hell to keep the peace inside your heart and head.
But I'm always gone and what you're left with is my song.
You're sick of listening to anything turn me off instead.
You used to call me cool, believed in what I'd say.
Never seen me as a failure or a mother fucking fake.
But over time we changed into this little ball of hate.
We shared a bedroom but the bedroom had a bed we never made so.
I'm done with holding this in. I'm done with being a friend.
I'd like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen.
No one can stop me?.try to stop me... Just try to stop me...

Any Man In America
Track 8
I only note spending time away
I only note the truth is spoken
Best when brutally so honestly.
I'll let you know you set the standards lyrically for me.
One single middle finger
Say raise it up
My speech will always be free like Martin Luther King.
You had meaning to me.
Single-handedly saving music starving industry.
A hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink.
Black even though he was whiter than me.
He was the first to be colorless. Speaking for all of us.
Then you let us into your family: mother father brother sister wife daughter.
Damn right in front of me.
That's when I miss my daughter desperately.
Your mockingbird puts dents in me.
While touring press and reliving my song hate me, I was losing custody.
I never even saw that shit. How she played me and planned and sought it fit
To turn that trick and financially she would benefit.
My first and probably only billboard hit was gonna pay for my two year old's college.
I should have hid that shit so she couldn't spend that shit.
It took twenty years of working just to earn that shit.
Now word for word I've listened and heard and I'm done. Done.
(Chorus)
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control. It's just your legal system though.
They don't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America take back your control.
So I kept my business quiet
Just like my lawyer said.
And I tried to focus all
My anger in my work instead.
I was succeeding at self reliant
But inside my soul is dead.
I had to be the sole provider
But not allowed to be the dad.
Literally they took her from me.
Legally they did! They did!
But I'm not a fucking book
So fuck your book in Lincoln I said
Fuck the judge. Fuck that county
Fuck your family too.
Yeah fuck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
I'm way too strong. I work my ass off all day long.
And I'm gone for months at a time and you keep sitting there and lying.
Bitching "Come back home." I hate you, hate you god.
And then you came back home and filed for another fucking divorce.
I'm sick of crying I'm sick of you instead
I'm not sick, or stuck in my head.
Any other man in America can get screwed just like me.
(Chorus)
You won't understand, probably never will.
Listen slowly I'll let you know the deal
Lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
You had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.
Grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit.
Women run the courts, men provide the chips.
Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch.
But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch.
Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.
But you the one fucking like a groupie at a show.
Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.
You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.
Bring the drama to you mama and you mama's mama
Cause we all know you chasing after commas.
Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses
You changing dicks like you changing outfits.
Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.
Lot of fathers getting fucked like prostitution
Blue October
You Waited Too Long
Track 9
Note-C# is just two frets up from Bm
Did he really get to take you home?
I'm surprised that you chose him.
Surprised that I'm not in a halfway home.
I'm not surprised I never saw you alone.
When they brought me home.
So who does this separation work for?
So which one of us will wage war?
War. It's not about the feelings that we shared before. No.
Cause your words don't calm anymore. Gah, no more.
What did you want me for?
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice,
The look upon my face,
Yeah I've done this before,
You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.
Yeah you waited too long.
And did you really think I'd take it,
When information fabricated.
Look I give you credit for pathetically thinking that
you could hurt this up.
Watch this. She turns on my face,
A sage little house invading your space.
Helpless, you know that I'm away.
My truck sitting in a hotel crazy.
I'm fine on the phone.
Freaking like it's telling me there's something wrong,
Or right you don't I need to know.
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice,
The look upon my face,
Yeah I've done this before,
You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.
Yeah you waited too long.
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice,
The look upon my face,
Yeah I've done this before,
You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.
Yeah you waited too,
Yeah you waited too long.
This is urgent,
Call 'em emergencies
I don't know how to stop 'em.
My capgun and the pistol,
You fill your clip with lies.
Then load each one and fire right over my head.
I need a finish line, this pressures too high.
Yeah I should have seen the end was coming, sooner than they ever did
Reach down to the pit of my soul.
I found things that I didn't wanna know with her,
I guess the wait is over.
How do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice,
The look upon my face,
Yeah I've done this before,
You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.
Yeah you waited too long.
Oh, how do you call
What we have love when you don't even notice,
The look upon my face,
Yeah I've done this before,
You'll be sorrier when I'm gone.
Yeah you waited too long.

The Honesty
Track 10
Verse 1:
Let's get it straight
Let's get it straight from the top
You're beginning with the usual main ingredient
You're good at when you're talking when you say it
Are you meaning it?
Don't wanna give you my heart if you're not completing it
I'm blown away at how your family, your friends,
Just accept it though, no one's ever told you no
Can't expect you to know how to love
When it was something you were never taught
Chorus:
But honesty is the one true way to start again
Just be good to yourself and love those unspoken instead of always broken
But honestly when you're heart decides to let someone in
Just be cautious of the next one
Verse 2:
You win, I never wanted to play what was meant to screw me up
But I see you're in to playing it makes me feel sorry for the way you like
displaying it
And how the truth has really told you are betraying it
I gotta say, I don't think I ever felt you hold us up,
were you embarrassed by me?
Now that's something I'm gonna have to pay for
Chorus:
But honestly should have been the one true way to start again
Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
But honestly if your heart decides to feel again
just be careful of the next one
Bridge:
How completely let down
How completely let down I felt
I'm completely in awe
Now I can't see at all
Now I can see it all
Chorus:
But honesty could have been the one true way to love again
Just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
But honestly if your heart decides to love again
just be thankful for the next one
Outro: (same as chorus)
Gonna see it all...gonna see it
Can't wait,can't wait
Gonna keep it up,gonna keep it up
Can't wait, can't wait
Gonna see it all,gonna see it all
Can't wait,can't wait,
Gonna keep it up

The Getting Over It Part
Track 11
I tried and tried
I tried so many things that wouldn't take
Like stop the leak, prevent the flood, some say
But nothing helped at all
And you're not listening to what I say
You waste the time for memories made
Communication has not made its way to your agenda for today
Or any other day 'cause this is the last time I'm gonna say it.
If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though.
'Cause yeah, we're over. Get over it, though.
I've seen that look before. Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over. Get over it, though.
Now I'm shouting out
You gotta hear me
Can you end this now
I'm tired of waiting
You don't get the point
And you don't get control
And we both have a chance
If you just let go
You can't have me tonight, tomorrow night, the next day
For anyone or anything
And anyway, I'm not asking you to stay
You're not my fucking problem, one you just throw away
Let's burn this house we built up down and simply walk away
I'm gonna win this conversation
Look who's got the microphone
I can't believe you're stuck on always trying to fuck me up
I think you ruined us all. Yeah, I truly believe you fucking ruined us all

The Worry List
Track 12
I'm tired, twisted, barely breathing, buried in the dark
Don't be concerned, it's just the power of a breaking heart.
How good am I hiding it?
Look, I've got some bad intentions.
Guilty as fucking charged.
Still standing stable, more than able 'cause I know who you are.
I know the birthdays, anniversaries, all the first days I missed.
I regret them all.
But now I know this:
I know that God exists.
I held her in my arms.
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
Take me off your worry list.
It'll be better that way.
I'm really fine and there's nothing we haven't talked about.
So, take me off your worry list I said, "Throw it away."
This is what my life is about.
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
I've taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view.
What kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through?
'Cause I'm standin' right here.
And you may not show up.
This same gate 14 where, honestly, I'm just sick of calling your bluff.
And it's just embarrassing, that I nearly threw up
And I'm trying hard to change the things I always screw up.
And at the top of my list, this visitation's no relationship.
But I gotta make the best of it.
'Cause I know -
I know that God exists.
I held her in my arms.
I never knew I was able to ever feel this strong.
Take me off your worry list.
It'll be better that way.
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
Take me off your worry list.
Just throw it away.
Well, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
'Cause I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
I couldn't wait to finally pick my family up.
Everything is quiet and covered in snow.
There's something wrong here...
Nobody's at home.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Now, I'm back in the driver's seat.
Heading back home.
Yeah, back to Texas on my own.
Take me off your worry list.
It'll be better that way.
And I'm doin' fine and I've got plenty of friends around.
Take me off your worry list.
Just throw it away.
Yeah, it's time to stand up on my own for her.
I'm packing it up, and I'm comin' today.
This is what my story's about.
I might have been gone but I never walked out.
I'm packin' it up, and I'm comin' today.
E (End on E - throw a quick A in there and back to E and end it like this)
This is what your story's about.
My pretty little girl, can you figure it out?
If it helps to know so there is no doubt,
Just listen to the stories.
Not everything is glorious.
Some hurt, some love, some shout.
I fought the world and I lost that bout.
And you are what my album's about.
I might have been gone, but I never walked out.

The Follow Through
Track 13
VERSE 1:
Pride
It leaves you hollow
Another attempt
Just to settle the score
A war, you know the one you built it up
It's real defining
Humiliation
Oh, it knocks at your door
PRE-CHORUS:
You say I blow up
I say you cave in
We never found the line between
The real and pretend
You know you should accept it
G (Keep Strumming G all the way until the Chorus begins)
This is really the end
I know for sure, it's what I have to do
CHORUS:
Is follow through
You were everything I ever want to be
The only thing I ever needed no
I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know
Yeah that's what I do
Yeah I follow through
Oh I follow through
VERSE 2:
And here I stand
I'm too close but still you're far away
You never tried but I did
And we still remain divided
Oh I can't believe that your heart's still beating
It's beating for me at all
How sad of you
But I'm not sad at all
PRE-CHORUS:
You say I blow up
I say you cave in
We never found the line between
The real and pretend
You know you should accept it
G (Keep Strumming G all the way until the Chorus begins)
This is really the end
I know for sure, it's what I have to do
CHORUS:
Is follow through
And you were everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know
And as it falls down into night we run away
And once again divided
But each one knows just what we have to do
We do
We have to, follow through
I will lay down my heart
I will let you go
That's what's best for us all
(Cause now we stand beneath the clouds and god above)
(Like we did before)
(But this time for her)
(I'll follow through)
You were everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know
OUTRO 1:
Hold my heart
Patiently
And take my hand
Yeah walk with me
Cause when the evening comes
We'll set the world on fire
And I was wrong
Let me help you live on
CHORUS:
You were everything I ever want to be
The only one I ever need to know
I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep
And I'd sneak across the world to let her know
OUTRO 2:
Hold my heart
Patiently
And take my hand
Yeah walk with me
Cause when the evening comes
We'll set the world on fire
And I was wrong
Let me help you live on
