from Nickelback, Nickelback - The State (2000)
Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow Whisper things into my brain Your voice sounds so hollow I am not a leader of men Since I prefer to follow Do you think I could have a drink Since it's so hard to swallow So hard to swallow So turn the television off and I will sing a song And if you suddenly have the urge You can sing along I touch your hand, I touch your face I think the fruit is rotten Give me lessons on how to breath Cause I think I've forgotten I think I've forgotten One day, up to a cliff That overlooked the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody's daughter And now the ring is on my hand It was given to me by her To this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher To get much higher |

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able To see the signs that we missed And try to turn the tables I wish you'd unclench your fists And unpack your suitcase Lately there's been too much of this Don't think its too late Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when Well I hoped that since we're here anyway We could end up saying Things we've always needed to say So we could end up stringing Now the story's played out like this Just like a paperback novel Lets rewrite an ending that fits Instead of a hollywood horror Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) [Solo] How the hell did we wind up like this Why weren't we able To see the signs that we missed And try to turn the tables Now the story's played out like this Just like a paperback novel Lets rewrite an ending that fits Instead of a Hollywood horror Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it all right but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) I know you're wondering when |
