Friendly faces
Welcome almost any day
Light up a smile
And realize it's not too late to change your mind.
Take a train
Swing from a thread
Mother natures muddy water rolls right off my head
Mr. Mystery passes by
And says, Son I'm glad you're still alive today
So am I, why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway
Why would Mr. mystery care about me anyway
When tears fell like rain
I'm licking my lips
I'll never understand it
That's just the way it is
I've been running from these demons
For most of my life.
I can still feel them watching me
In the middle of the night
So you say that you do not know me
I do not know myself
What I am or who I'll be
So don't try to make sense of me
So you say that you do not love me
I do not love myself
I never wanted to be the one tying you down
But I really do hope that you are happy now
When tears fell like rain
I'm licking my lips
I'll never understand it
That's just the way it is
I've been running from these demons
For most of my life
I can still feel them watching me
In the middle of the night
I want to be here forever
I want to be young forever
Lets dance the sky together
On another day
If you go and you just don't see
I want to be you and you want to be me
Come on everybody and dance with me
Climbing mountaintops
I had a thing for you
Your enchanting smile and your eyes are cool
You would fall behind
I would wait for you
Everybody's gone ahead
I just smile and shake my head
You don't know who you are
You will never know
You will never know
If you go and you just don't see
I want to be you
And you want to be me
Come on everybody and dance with me
