Since I was born they couldn't hold me down Another misfit kid, another burned-out town I never played by the rules, I never really cared My nasty reputation takes me everywhere I look and see it's not only me So many others have stood where I stand We are the young, so raise your hands They call us problem child We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand and we won't fall We're one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be Getcha a 3-piece wall street smile and son you'll look just like me I said "hi man, There's something that you oughta Know I'll tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row I look and see it's not only me We're standin' tall, ain't never a doubt We are the young, so shout it out They call us problem child We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand up, we won't fall We're one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild Let me hear you wild They call us problem child We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand up, we won't fall We're one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild Yeah yeah yeah We are the youth gone wild (oh oh oh oh) We are the youth gone wild

Saw you standing on the corner Flashing that plastic smile Living out in California Drove a couple thousand miles Bet you never left a goodbye note Didn't know what to say I bet you thought you had it all figured out Somehow you lost your way Come back in from the cold You're playing the game, but you're losing your soul You're moving too fast, now you're outta control You don't need to glitter, you're already gold Come back in from the cold You're living the life, but you're playing a role Whoa-oh-oh, don't act like nobody told ya You're already gold You're trying to get your head right Never been so hard for you 'Cause you're all up in the headlights For every little thing you do You've probably burned a bridge or two Chasing down those dreams You'll probably find out the hard way It's not all what it seems Come back in from the cold You're playing the game, but you're losing your soul You're moving too fast, now you're outta control You don't need to glitter, you're already gold Come back in from the cold You're living the life, but you're playing a role Whoa-oh-oh, don't act like nobody told ya You're already gold You've probably burned a bridge or two Chasing down those dreams You'll probably find out the hard way It's not all what it seems Come back in from the cold You're playing the game, but you're losing your soul You're moving too fast, now you're outta control You don't need to glitter, you're already gold Come back in from the cold You're living the life, but you're playing a role Whoa-oh-oh, don't act like nobody told ya You're already gold (you're already gold) Come back in from the cold You're playing the game, but you're losing your soul You're moving too fast, now you're outta control You don't need to glitter, you're already gold Come back in from the cold You're living the life, but you're playing a role Whoa-oh-oh, don't act like nobody told ya You're already gold (I'm already gold)

The 'X' on your calendar Days when your skies turn black Hit the road weary traveler Dedicated to the wheels never going off track You say you want me need me never leave me 'Baby won't you please unpack!' Cuz the words that you say are the words That just may be the words that you can't take back We're moving at an inevitable disaster I can't stop it moving forward faster I'm asking Can you hold the wheel for a second now dear? I just wanna make things clear One cup of coffee and I'm on my way home No brakes in the danger zone And you know you don't mind You know you don't mind no Don't call me an amateur Even though I never get it right As we approach imminent damage We both still sleep right through the night You say you're done you leaving you've got your reasons And you don't want to start a fight But the words that you say are the words That just may be the words that can make it alright We're moving at an inevitable disaster I can't stop it moving forward faster I'm asking Can you hold the wheel for a second now dear? I just wanna make things clear One cup of coffee and I'm on my way home No brakes in the danger zone And you know you don't mind You know you don't mind no We're moving at an inevitable disaster I can't stop it moving forward faster I'm asking Can you hold the wheel for a second now dear? I just wanna make things clear One cup of coffee and I'm on my way home No brakes in the danger zone And you know you don't mind You know you don't mind no

Hey, yeah, yeah Hey, yeah, yeah She woke up one day with the rising of the sun Surrounded by fields of grain Hopped on a plane never to return Destination hide the pain Landed in the middle of a big blue sea And before she had time to unpack She listened to the sound of the waves on the shore And knew that she was never going back Stay the course, you can't turn back You might get scared, you might get lonely Thinking about ways you could lose the path It's all harmful distractions Stay the course in the changing sea Tides turning, waves are churning Thinking about trying to take another from me (Trying to take another from me) Hey, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh) Hey, yeah, yeah Never a cool kid Had no friends in school kid Never raised his hand in class At night he stared at the stars on the ceiling Wondering if his loneliness would last Another chord he strummed Another note he hummed Another original melody But as soon as he stepped on the stage and saw them smiling back He knew what he was meant to be Stay the course, you can't turn back You might get scared, you might get lonely Thinking about ways you could lose the path It's all harmful distractions Stay the course in the changing sea Tides turning, waves are churning Thinking about trying to take another from me (Trying to take another from me) Hey, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh) Hey, yeah, yeah Hey, yeah, yeah Stay the course, you can't turn back You might get scared, you might get lonely Thinking about ways you could lose the path It's all harmful distractions Stay the course in the changing sea Tides turning, waves are churning Thinking about trying to take another from me (Trying to take another from me) Stay the course, you can't turn back You might get scared, you might get lonely Thinking about ways you could lose the path It's all harmful distractions Stay the course in the changing sea Tides turning, waves are churning Thinking about trying to take another from me (Trying to take another from me) Hey, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh) Hey, yeah, yeah

We met at a concert You were wearing Converse I'm not good at playing it cool You said I was funny I spent all my money Then your friend got thrown in the pool When we said goodbye Know that I can't lie I never thought I'd see you again Man, was I mistaken Now my heart is taken It's too hard to comprehend That I'm falling Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" Sitting here, waiting for you Expert of illusion I just kept to using Thought I had it all worked out Love was just a stage name Watched it as it became Something I could live without Then to my surprise, you opened my eyes I thought I was empty inside Now every time you're near Stormy skies become clear Now there's nowhere left to hide And I'm falling Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" Sitting here, waiting for you Said, "I'm falling" Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" Sitting here, waiting for you Falling Hoping that you feel this way, too Falling (I'm falling) Sitting here, waiting for you I'm falling (I'm falling) Hoping that you feel this way, too Falling (I'm falling) Sitting here, waiting for you Falling (falling) Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" (I'm falling) Sitting here, waiting for you Said, "I'm falling" (I'm falling) Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" (yeah, yeah) Sitting here, waiting for you Falling Hoping that you feel this way, too Falling (I'm falling) Sitting here, waiting for you Said, "I'm falling" (I'm falling) Hoping that you feel this way, too Said, "I'm falling" (I'm falling) Sitting here, waiting for you
