He knew he wasn't perfect But he always did his best to try to get under the surface Not a saint, not a serpent He just wanted everyone to be impressed with him as a person So when she came along with the sunbeam Self-esteem stopped making nothing outta somethings Leaving the scene was unseen, I mean It was the first time he ever felt the need to keep the gun clean Do the math He knew he had to choose a path Gotta get that girl, gotta make her laugh Gotta shake the past and move forwards Gotta make this last, it feels gorgeous But she had a lover in the mid-west Never figured out how to get him off her thick chest Just like that everything is gone He didn't wanna but he had to learn the words so he could sing along Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses Sometimes it can be so nice, right? Sometimes she feel herself turn into the wife type And when its dark, sometimes he's the nightlight But most of the time she doesn't even feel lifelike She got a man but he thinks hes a star And it feels like she has to compete with the bar She keeps up her guard but it seems so hard Mama never told her she would see those scars Every night he's out doing who knows whom While she cries along like a new show tune Last call passed, is he coming home soon? Or is he gonna run away with the dish and the spoon? She'll realize she don't want that clown Leave those shoes at the lost and found He won't catch on until shes not around After somebody else already locked that down We sing... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses He didn't want her to see him leave And he couldn't keep sitting there watching her sleep 'Cause he knows if he hangs out for a few hours He'll dig another hole trying to plant some new flowers But the sun don't shine under the table He's trying to hold his life together with staples No investment 'cause he's incapable And he's on the outro of being labeled available The word on the street is his girl's comin' back home No more alone, no more sad poems No after-bar calls to the cell phone Its time to walk a new path and grow a backbone Shoved into the big book of just friends Wondering how he would look as a husband And everyone of 'em he ever allowed to love him Now watching from the crowd tryin to be proud of him They say... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses

Verse 1: The strangers faces do appear I startle when they come too near But angels have no fear (Angels have no fear) Although my quest is justified Love is strong and time is tight You ask me not to fight (You ask me not to fight) Chorus: Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Verse 1: The strangers faces do appear I startle when they come too near But angels have no fear (Angels have no fear) Although my quest is justified Love is strong and time is tight You ask me not to fight (You ask me not to fight) Chorus: Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray

I remember Sundays afternoon time When the world was something large and strange I need a small town Don't know where to live now I need emotion, I need a caravan Hate a Mercedes-Benz I don't rap a stack in rubber bands Never second guessing who I am Lost boy, Peter Pan Wait in the line at the summer jam Getting used to all the screaming fans Backstage is where I truly am All these spirits in the devil hands All these spirits in the devil hands (yeah) I remember Sundays afternoon time When the world was something large and strange I remember some days after school time Chasing after sunlight, led me home I feel all the memories buying trinkets From my childhood and I'm thinking Life has lemons, Lemony Snicket Snickering at books under blankets Now I see this in my dreams (my dreams) Now it's my reality (reality) And now I'm on your TV screen But this time I can't hear your screams I remember Sundays afternoon time When the world was something large and strange I remember some days after school time Chasing after sunlight, led me home What is it over there? Memories, that's some deadly thing Follow me, I've risked past my fears Under the shadows of my arms We shall abide With this true ocean I desire You and I

(Touch) Thought we was deep in love (Love) You didn't believe in us Boy, you forgot what we had (We had) I need you more than I should I can't help but love you Although it hurts to trust you, but And we go back and forth Girl, I'm tired, give you my undivided Our love is so one-sided, look How could you ever question me? Shit hit me in my chest today I remember like it's yesterday Gave you my best, you just gave it away Sundays with you were special (Special) I still don't know how to let go (Let go) Why did you keep in touch?

Picture myself as a thin white child Back to the day I was born on They slapped me into line as it crossed my mind I've felt better I've felt worse This is my life and it's all very well But never again As they say "We've been robbed" And don't you know that this time Love, just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Distance myself from the things I'd like but Everyone has something I need Don't let me wake up & find All those others leaving me behind If you don't have a clue about life Then I'm happy to say Neither have I although I'm not going to shrug my shoulders & suck my thumb This time Cos there's something I deserve Love, just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Picture my house in a postcard town Picture a bomb in the sky History at yout door Who could ask for more? I've felt better So kill me with love Just love yourself like no one else Love, it's enough They can say what they like but they still can't take that Time's so scarce where I come from Let them say what they like Cos they still can't take your love

And I'm standing on a platform Now I'm staring from a train And all the trees roll back beside but I'm so oblivious To the dark to the light It's all the same You gave me so much And now it's of the earth And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It makes me cry It can make me cry And you're standing here beside me In a picture in a frame And your voice could never fade it's so familiar Things you said in my head Every day You gave me so much And now it's of the earth And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It makes me cry It can make me cry You're with me so much Though you're never with me anymore And it makes me cry And it makes me cry And it makes me cry It can make me cry Hoo, and it makes me cry And it makes me cry Yeah, and it makes me cry It can make me cry
