Summer nights and long warm days Are stolen as the old moon falls And my mirror shows another face Another place to hide it all Another place to hide it all And I'm lost, behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As seasons roll on by Sleeping with a full moon blanket Sand and feathers for my head Dreams have never been the answer And dreams have never made my bed Dreams have never made my bed And I'm lost, behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As the seasons roll on by, yeah Well I want to fly above the storm But you can't grow feathers in the rain And the naked floor is cold as hell The naked floor reminds me Oh, the naked floor reminds me That I'm lost, behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As the seasons roll on by, yeah If I should be short on words And long on things to say Could you crawl into my world And take me worlds away Should I be beside myself And not even stay Well I'm lost, behind The words I'll never find And I'm left behind As the seasons roll on by, yeah
The day I tried to live:
I woke the same As any other day except a voice was in my head It said, "Seize the day Pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads" The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggar's change And gave it to the rich, yeah The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch, yeah Singing one more time around (I might do it) One more time around (I might make it) One more time around (I might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah Words you say Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head The lives we make Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs, hey Singing one more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) One more time around (I might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah I tried I woke the same as any other day you know I should have stayed in bed Eh-hey The day I tried to win I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs And I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar Singing one more time around (might do it) One more time around (I might make it) One more time around (might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, live Just like you Just like you One more time around (one more time around) One more time around (one more time around)
