I'm takin' to leanin' These past few days, A little too heavy on my wakin' cane. Cuz I'm afraid she's swingin' my way, That wreckin' ball. Now with all my ducks in a row, With one pull, I can let 'em go. Not to lose, just to show, I could catch them all. But every man bears a burden, Some beast by the horns That he hides from the world When he's young 'n' strong Lookin' over his shoulder Half-tethered and torn Still standing tall. Every year rolls on, like a runaway train Every bistro's stronger as the pendulum swings To and fro And on she goes That wrecking ball I just seen that Rock of Ages I just tell my Savior's hand. We danced underwater with my head on my shoulders She swore to never let me fall Was a time seemed so kindly If every bright-eyed girl could be More like you Shelter me from that wrecking ball That wreckin' ball

We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain We jumped, never asking why We kissed, I fell under your spell A love no one could deny Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I can't live a lie, running for my life I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you wreck me I put you high up in the sky And now, you're not coming down It slowly turned, you let mе burn And now, we're ashes on thе ground Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I can't live a lie, running for my life I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me I came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you wreck me I never meant to start a war I just wanted you to let me in And instead of using force I guess I should've let you win I never meant to start a war I just wanted you to let me in I guess I should've let you win Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me I came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you wreck me

You think you're pretty bright 'cause mama called you son that don't mean nothing You got your bloody knuckles from breaking bricks with all your muscle it don't mean nothing Wasting so much energy Searching for an enemy To ease the doubt and keep your hand Ou can't knock it down like a strawman Change my gear shift into drive Stay awake while I'm alive With good humor and a shoddy plan I can set afire to my strawman Hey you know things could always be easier Hey but though we all complain Even so watch out for meteors, meat-eaters, and other forms of wild game Sold a millions diamonds but never gave up one that don't mean nothing You got your bloody nose from breaking bricks with all the girls it don't mean nothing Hey little Scotty why you on the loose you got your head and your shoulders and a good excuse Excuse the dues freezing your plan you can knock it down like a strawman Hey you know things could always be easier Hey but though we all complain Even so watch out for meteors, meat-eaters, and other forms of wild game If only this if only that Change the one thing holding me back And I can make it like it's not I'll be so free sitting on top The world it flies it does not wait For you to accept your own fate Come to in all your foolish pride Hear in lies truth you may despise The skies don't care much who you are They'll strike you down with a meteor Wasting so much energy Searching for an enemy To ease the doubt and keep my hand I can't knock it down like a strawman

You broke my heart to save a one true chance To grow old year by year, Ever we're dancing The way the summer's like without al lthe rain Can rely on me honey. I'll always remain Your confident you know your my best friend Your The thoughts on my mind I can't comprehend. Like you don't even need to live so departed Forever you're the only one that in my heart (Ch) Lay on the ceiling stare up of at the floor Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door There's water in the streets and roots on the sky Wind blows my way you know I'm up all night The earth is spinning less than by your side One day together babe we gone flip the world upright, Gonna flip the world upright (V2) Your speedin from me baby don't you drive slow I'll be here waitin in the place that you know Just hangin windows and no one knows my name And now that your gone I'm the only one to blame From heart to heart I wish your shortening breath These understood tears that them blue eyes wept Seeping through the cracks and caught in the ground And slowly but surely tip the world upside down. Don't deny it in your diary, I saw you wrote that you still loved me The ending of the words have all been erased, fifth line, third base. You wanna see me as I do you, I wish you felt the way you used to. And I can tell you its coming soon, it's coming soon.
