Taking My Life Away - Default

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling She's living, she's golden, she lives for me Says she lives for me Ovation, her own motivation She comes 'round and she goes down on me And I make her smile like a drug for you Do ever what you want to do, coming over you Keep on smiling what we go through One stop to the rhythm that divides you And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on like a freak show, takes the stage We give them the games we play, she said I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there Smiling in the pictures you would take Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break It won't stop, I won't come down I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given Then I bumped again, then I bumped again How do I get back there To the place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to the place Where you said? I want something else To get me through this Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby I want something else I'm not listening when you say Goodbye I believe in the sand beneath my toes The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling I believe in the faith that grows And the four right chords can make me cry When I'm with you I feel like I could die And that would be all right, all right When the plane came in She said she was crashing The velvet it rips in the city We tripped on the urge to feel alive But now I'm struggling to surrender Those days you were wearing that velvet dress You're the priestess I must confess Those little red panties, they pass the test Slide up around the belly face Down on the mattress one I want something else To get me through this Life, baby I want something else Not listening when you say Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo The sky was gold, it was rose I was taking sips of it through my nose And I wish I could get back there, some place back there In the place we would start out lives Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo (I want something else) Doo-doo-doo

I thought I saw a girl brought to life She was warm, she came around like she was dignified She showed me what it was to cry Well, you couldn't be that girl I adored Don't seem to know Don't seem to care what your heart is for No, I don't know her anymore There's nothing where we used to lie The conversation has run dry That's what's going on Nothing's fine, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late, I'm already torn So I guess this fortune teller's right I should have seen just what was there And not some holy light But you crawled beneath my veins and now I don't care, I have no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just so many things That I can't touch, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn You're a little late I'm already torn (Torn) There's nothing where we used to lie My inspiration has run dry And that's what is goin' on Nothin's right, I'm torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I am shamed Lying naked on the floor Illusion never changed Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see The perfect sky is torn I'm all out of faith This is how I feel I'm cold and I'm ashamed Bound and broken on the floor You're a little late I'm already torn (This is how I feel) (Torn) (This is how I feel) (Torn) (This is how I feel)

Early morning, she wakes up Knock, knock, knock on the door It's time for make-up, perfect smile It's you they're all waiting for They go Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? And they say She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries, in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night? Lost in an image, in a dream But there's no one there to wake her up And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning But tell me, what happens when it stops? They go Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? And they say She's so lucky, she's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night? Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl? She is so lucky (she is so lucky) But why does she cry? (Why does she cry?) If there is nothing, missing in her life Why do tears come at night? She's so lucky (she is so lovely) She's a star But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking If there's nothing, missing in my life Then why do these tears come at night?

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways Like a vision, she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey, that's me, and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside Darling, you know just what I'm here for you're And scared, and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but, hey, you're alright Oh, and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now, I'm no hero, that's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now? Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks Oh-oh come take my hand We're riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun I know it's late, we can make it if we run Oh, Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar, and I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free, all the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets And they scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind So Mary, climb in It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win

It's been three whole years of me thinking about you every day Sometimes for hours, sometimes in passing Saw you from the bottom of the staircase Stood out for hours as you complained About how you haven't seen your friends yet That you're too drunk to stand and you not knowing If you can love him forever Bullshit you fucking miss me There I said it I guess I'll talk to you in a few months Sitting drunk on the sidewalk I guess I'll get up I guess I'll go for a walk Press my shoes against the pavement I swear this has got to be the hundredth time I've thought of you tonight You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake (Wide awake) I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Yeah I can't believe I'll let you walk away Used to call you crook, called you a bandit There ain't no other good damn reason why Why I would even it would go missing For so many months so I was wishing that you That you would stop pretending Remember all those countless nights When I told you I loved you And you never forget it (Oh just forget it) You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake Wide awake I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Where I let you walk away You weren't the only one Who thought of us that way I spend most nights awake Wide awake I never thought that I Oh I would see the day Where I'd just let you go Let you walk away Go ahead and walk away

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face, and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face, and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

There you go creeping in You're in my head once again It's a rush head to toe It's never enough, don't you know? Come tomorrow See your sorrow A taste of heaven All you're living There's a thousand reasons to leave But there's just one reason to stay My beautiful flower You've got the power I tried holding on You keep pulling me in My beautiful flower My darkest hour Think I'm getting out 'Til I see you again Where's my fate taking me? My mistakes breaking me Here I come chasing you In a rule without of you Do I belong here? It feels so wrong here... Like a cloud that's following you The sun can never find its way through My beautiful flower You've got the power I tried holding on You keep pulling me in My beautiful flower My darkest hour Think I'm getting out 'Til I see you again Do I belong here? It feels so wrong here Like a cloud that's following you The sun can never find its way through My beautiful flower You've got the power I tried holding on You keep pulling me in My beautiful flower My darkest hour Think I'm getting out 'Til I see you again My beautiful flower You've got the power I tried holding on You keep pulling me in My beautiful flower My darkest hour Think I'm getting out 'Til I see you again

Oh, this time is right Oh, but I'm wound too tight Never keep, never sleep, never find all the time That I need just to stay in line Gotta go, got to throw all the crap to the side So that I'm never left by the wayside Hold on, wait a minute, can't leave here And then she broke down No Uh huh No Uh huh Can't hold me down Can't slow me down Oh, stop stepping in my way Not quite what I thought you'd say Never find, never mind, never peace God at least Give me strength just for one more try Got to give, need to live long enough just to say That I stayed to the end of the big time Hold on, wait a minute, can't leave here And then she broke down No Uh huh No Uh huh Can't hold me down Can't slow me down No Uh huh Never hold me down Never slow me down No Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never slow You can't hold me down Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never hold You can't slow me down Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never slow You can't hold me down Can't hold me down Can't slow me down No Uh huh Never hold me down Never slow me down No Uh huh Can't hold me down Can't slow me down
