I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight Buy that Mercedes go crash off the lot We tryna get crazy just catching a buzz I am so reckless you are so fine No more impressions we are undressing Interstate ten down memory lane I feel like I know you, been hoping n praying Im fixing to show you love we gone make it I feel the connection this a blessing Go take a marker and lets save the date No medication love numbing the pain Birthplace of music others are clueless We're gonna do this it must be our fate Too much confusion? Exiting optional No convolution maneuver the obstacles Future of everything all up to us Mission no longer impossible I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight I think I love you but this is realm is limited I think I really forgot what forgiveness is A little bit of pomegranate Burts Bees Wax in my pocket No time to reminiscence when you running out of options One fifty a zip lines crossing don't be a hostage The name of the game is survival be cautious Text me when you get home texting on a flip phone its been known I been finessing things like a Flintstone lets get stoned I need a Chris clone my lips sewn She unbuttoned my trousers and let out a big moan Now its a blessing that I'm healthy Instead of popping pills feeling helpless I dont think you understand the hell I've seen I cant face all my problems cuz I need a taste of the good life I could sit and tell you lies but I might be straight this one time I only wanna feel you next to me Girl I touch you my heart skips a beat Its never too late to take another day Lets live tonight Words like dragon glass we ain't having that Take yo average ass and see ya way out back Sacagawea, this sack of weed will bring closure to your financial needs What is he talking about his words hit me like a needle Up at the ass crack of dawn making beats Flexing my words flying around like an eagle Next thing you hear he a rapper and a singer Bitch please I manifest my destiny Your two tone Lexus don't really impress me Bitch please I manifest my destiny Your two tone Lexus don't really impress me Pass this down to my grandkids an investment I never really had shit but I'll always have this It shows what you can do when you active Stay low key always implement action I was unhealthy a bit now I see I do it for myself with no distractions

Yeah, check me, woo When I look in the mirror I can't believe what I see Tell me, who's that funky dude Staring back at me? Broken, beaten down, can't even get around Without an old man cane, I fall and hit the ground Shivering in the cold, I'm bitter and alone Excuse the bitching I shouldn't complain I should have no feeling 'Cause feeling is pain As everything I need is denied me And everything I want is taken away from me But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah Screw this crap, I've had it! (I've had it!) I ain't no Mister Cool I'm a pig, I'm a dog So excuse me if I drool I ain't gonna hurt nobody, ain't gonna cause a scene Just need to admit that I want sugar in my tea (Hear me?) Hear me? I want sugar in my tea And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah! I wanna go back, I wanna go back And I don't even know how I got off the track It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, yeah! And I don't wanna be an old man anymore It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor Shaking booty, making sweet love all the night It's time I got back to the good life It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track It's time I got back, it's time I got back And I don't even know how I got off the track I wanna go back, I wanna go back

When you said you loved me, did you really love me? Or did the words just spill out Like drool on my pillow. 'Cause I was naked When you said those words, But I felt covered in your whispered worship. And as you passed out fast on my shoulder, I imagined a child Waiting so sad and still for his mom to arrive. Did she leave you an orphan, In that big, brown leather chair? Said, "Don't you move a muscle, kid, I'll be back in twenty years," You were scared, you were lonely, But you must've been aware; Life is a series of calluses, This is just another layer. So, build'em up, tough it out, Yeah, that's your skin; Don't let anyone under there. When you said you needed me, Did you really need me? Or was I just someone? Oh, you'd take anything. Am I first on that list of yours, Or am I second, or third? So, who's that ahead of me, Some harlot from Pittsburgh? Or Detroit, Santa Fe, or San Diego? I know you're so alone, But how much affection does one guy really need? Did you date a lot in high school? Were you always chasing girls? Couldn't you find some young valentine To steal your heart for good? Were you content, or contemptible? Are your memories pleasant, Or is it a string of endless flings of bitter resentment. Seems that what you want and what you need Doesn't mean a thing, we're just here for the taking. When you said you'd hurt me, Did you think you hurt me? Are you really that cocky? Oh, what a heartbreaker! Well, I've got my armor Yeah, I've been through some battles before. And I met your old girlfriend, She said, "Baby, don't bother." She told me you told her you'd hurt her Funny, how familiar. So, how much of this relationship was rehearsed? Did you act out as a child? Were you always crying wolf? Attention-starved, you tried too hard To get someone to look. Now you're the wolf in second-hand clothing. I'm the sheep in a pleated skirt. It's an awkward form of payback, But if it works for you, it works. It's that I recognize your off-white lies, Still, I lie beside you And that's what really hurts. When you said you'd leave me Well, why haven't you left me? What are we still doing here, So desperate for company? There's a greyhound on Jackson Street, There's an airport in Council Bluffs. Hell, there's a car in the driveway. Fifty ways to get lost. But as I hold you and listen to you sleeping, I'm starting to wonder if you really believe That you'd ever really leave. Would you leave me, and orphan, In that big, brown leather chair? The one you've lugged around from town to town for all these years. It's the trophy of your childhood, Like a shark's tooth or gator skin boots But this one holds you prisoner It holds me prisoner too. What we need to set us free Is to let go of each other - let go of everything. When I said I loved you, It was because I loved you. When I said I needed you, Well, I really need you. Yeah, I guess you hurt me, For once you're a man of your word. Well, guess what I'm leaving. I can't be your prisoner. I won't.

I stumbled in at 3 a.m. But you didn't want to I tried again at half past ten You still don't want to Your hips have this way of saying no way An impenetrable barricade Something I said? Something I did? What's made you so defensive? Something you heard? Something you learned? The season's changing, it's for the worse You used to call me on your break But you've been so busy You used to bring me tomato soup But you keep forgetting As the groundskeeper rakes up the October leaves It occurs to me, trees can't hide anything Something I said? Something I did? You've been acting so distant Something you heard? Something you learned? The trees are barren, the leaves have turned The days when we made it the world was green Now autumn has fallen, everything's changed October leaves I woke up this morning You were off to work No kisses, no coffee No morning paper "Hey" "Yes?" "Are you sleeping?" "No" "Can I ask you something?" "Yes" "Are you cheating on me?" "No" "Are you lying?"

Oh, the good life Full of fun, seems to be the ideal Mmm, the good life Lets you hide all the sadness you feel You won't really fall in love For you can't take the chance So please, be honest With yourself Don't try to fake romance It's the good life To be free, and explore the unknown Like the heartaches When you learn you must face them alone Please remember I still want you And in case, you wonder why Well, just wake up Kiss the good life, goodbye

There's nothin' more beautiful than a distant star Proof of our ignorance Proof of how small we are (proof of how small we are) Remember gettin' high on the hood of my broke down car Remember how innocent We no longer are (we no longer are) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long We're not here for long (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we bravely carry on (carry on) We like the words love, trust, and invincible But then trust falls apart and love turns miserable And the light disappears The only thing clear (the only thing clear is) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone But still, we carry on Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh We all need a memory we can hold onto At least a few souvenirs to show some proof We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we barely carry on (as we barely carry on)

I know sorry is not enough To erase all the pain from when I messed up I'm not here to overturn my conviction These eyes are on the road, the road to redemption Well, it's only until you lose Everything that you love that you're forced to choose And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention To keep you on the straight, the road to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness It's a long way down from the fall And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction To find my way back, back to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness When everyone left me for dead You never gave up, you never quit I remember the words you said We can still be good again Now I'm looking you in the eyes My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide And I'm never going back to that condition You showed me the way to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end, you never left when I needed your, needed your forgiveness

Listen to the wind blow Watch the sun rise Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies Break the silence Damn the dark, damn the light And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! (I run in the shadow) Oh! Keep it together! (I'm running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (Still running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (I'll run in the shadow) I'm running in the shadows I'm still running in the shadows
