I was shaking hands with the face of death In the amazon I was in a trance Tryna' catch my breath But I couldn't run When you came around I was on the ground Blood in my mouth And I realized the whole damn time I've been missing out (Hey!) Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was Did you get your fill? Have you seen it all? Have you had enough? It's a jagged pill you've been choking on You gotta cough it up Ain't it fine to forget your mind when you ride the wave Summertime is only one more breath away Just one more breath away Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na The way it was Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na The way it was I don't need to know what we're heading for Babe, I'm not looking back Listen to your feet on the wooden floor Don't need nothing else but that You know you don't have to take Your past mistakes into the dawn So drop off your bags, don't break your back We're gonna keep moving on We're moving on, we're moving on We're moving on, we're moving on Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was The way it was, the way it was

Oh-oh-oh Feels like yesterday I was living at my parents' house I blinked and things changed Fast forward and I was moving out I can only exist in three dimensions at a time Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right? It's like we've been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, life's an hourglass Shattered on the floor, oh It'll never be the way it was before No Feels like yesterday I was falling in love Then came the heartbreak Like it always does Nobody escapes it Time's a losing game Might as well embrace it 'Til it flies away I know that nobody can stay forever young (forever young) I wish I could just take a break from growing up (from growing up) It's like we've been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, life's an hourglass Shattered on the floor, oh It'll never be the way it was before The way it was before Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, moving way too fast Wish I had just a little more, oh It'll never be the way it was before

Night with its shattered teeth Attempts to speak My pen is present but Courage left via the sink And I'm sorry I snuck up on you From behind I'm sorry not all My love letters did rhyme And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins And I swear to God It won't happen again And I'm sorry If it was my swerve that Tempted you to sway Oh well Sometimes it be that way And Romeo was A very nice man He said "Jewel, I don't think You quite understand" And I'm sorry if you had To explain it like this I'm sorry I was a point You were destined to miss And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently Down in the hollow By the old olive tree And I'm sorry If my heart breaking Ruined your day Oh well Sometimes It be that way I said "Oh well, I got nothing Left to sell This love was a bell that Rang unheard in the air I was bound to find out That you didn't care Oh well Sometimes it be that way And Aphrodite with Her neon lamp Kissed Neptune They put her face On a stamp And I'm sorry I used it to mail A letter to you I'm sorry I'm glue and The rest bounces off of you And I'm sorry not even This jet's metal wings Could get across These simple things And I'm sorry If I ever sang Your name in vain Oh well Sometimes it be that way And Goldilocks Well she knew three bears They all ate oatmeal And tiptoed upstairs And I'm sorry I never got to Find you like this Sleeping like a baby And swaddled in bliss And I'm sorry for All the times I forgot to imply something In between the lines And I'm sorry If my heart breaking Ruined your day Oh well Sometimes it be that way I said "Oh well, I got nothing Left to sell This love was a bell that Rang unheard in the air I was bound to find out That you didn't care Oh well Sometimes it be that way And shadow's long fingers They dance on the wall Electricity chases Its tail in the hall And I'm sorry If my arms to you Were just empty rooms I'm sorry I never could comfort you And I'm sorry St. Petersburg is A miserable town And I'm sorry If I am bringing you down And I'm sorry If I caused you pain Oh well Sometimes it be that way And flame licks the air With its silver tongue Night has many hands But I have just one And I'm sorry I walked in on you Unexpectedly I'm sorry I never served you Camomile tea And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match That could start A fire big enough For your heart to catch And I'm sorry If it was my swerve that Tempted you to sway Oh well Sometimes it be that way

Carolyn, let me tell you what I heard about a man today He didn't come home from work and he went away Till he came to a city, bright in the night time like day There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet Their warm lips like a honeycomb, dripped with honey And something about the smell of strange perfume Made him feel warm and not alone Yes Carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn, a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home Yes Carolyn, a man will do that sometimes on his own And sometimes when he's lonely And I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite But Carolyn, a man will do that always When he's treated bad at home
