And you're not

Have you fallen
in a black hole?
somewhere there's
A universe

where we had so much?
Where's the love?
Where's the love?
Verse 2:
Remember all those hours
laughing on the floor
those days ain't doing nothing
felt like nothing did before
I don't need those stickers

Would you turn the other

Verse 1:
It's lonely sometimes in the fast lane
People come and go like rain
And I look around for a hand to hold
But there's no one here today
Everyone has gone away
And left me in the fray
Chorus:
So don't wish upon a star
Cause a star can only get you so far
And it doesn't matter who you are
Cause the sky looks better
from the ground, anyway
You never know what you got
And even if you do it
don't mean it's gonna stay
Tomorrow is another day
You only live once and
I'm living for today
I'm living for today
Verse 2:
So I drive around the superficial town
With a smile on my face
No one really knows how I feel inside
And I'm keeping it that way
It's my story to replay
And the fast lanes where I wanna stay
(Repeat Chorus exept last 2 lines)
F#m(hold)
I'm living for today
Bridge:
I can't find my sanity
I'm about to lose my mind
And I, I can't find my sanity
Well I want to lose my mind
la la la la la la la
And if only I can show me that
nobody's gonna bring me down
SING IT!

Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Verse 1:
And the days go by...
Like a strand in the wind...
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...

Eyes... on... him... all alone...
On the edge of... seventeen

I went today... maybe
I will go again...
Tomorrow And the music
there it was hauntingly...
Familiar And I see you doing...
What I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
And the voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Bridge:
The clouds... never expect it...
When it rains
But the sea changes colours...
But the sea...
Does not change
And so... with the slow...
graceful flow...Of age
I went forth... with an age old...
Desire... to please
On the edge of... seventeen
