You know you’re wrong
That you should know much better
You’re coming on way too strong
A force gale in stormy weather
A cold wave crashing on
Across the ocean building pressure
And it’ll go off before too long
And this is your life

But you’re giving it up this time
’Cause you can’t live without it
You’re giving it up this time
’Cause this is your life
Live On

It’s out of your hands
It’s not what you planned
But it keeps knockin’ you over
And if you ask me
It’s easy to see
How it keeps rippin’ you off
You’re on your own
’Cause it’s just better that way
You’re on your own
Yeah this is your life

But you’re giving it up this time
’Cause you can’t live without it
You’re giving it up this time
’Cause this is your life

You’re on your own
’Cause it’s just better that way
You’re on your own
Yeah this is your life

You’re giving it up this time
’Cause you can’t live without it
You’re giving it up this time
’Cause this is your life yeah
Giving it up this time
Live On

Well there’s one thing, then another thing
Building up into a mountain of annoying
You keep scratching and unattracting
And shining light on everything that I am lacking

Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin’ with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
And there’s nothing I can say about it

Backstabbin’, yeah backstabbin’

Change the pitch, flick the switch,
And flatten all the buttons
Backstabbin’, yeah backstabbin’
Make something new from the truth
Everything from nothing
Backstabbin’, yeah

Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin’ with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
And there’s nothing I can say about it

Backstabbin’, back, backstabbin’

Well there’s one thing, then another thing
Building up into a mountain of annoying
You keep scratching and unattracting
And shining light on everything that I am lacking

Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin’ with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah
Backstabbin’ with a positive hook, yeah
Then you turn around and give me that look, yeah

Backstabbin’, yeah backstabbin’

I started thinkin’ bout
The rest of my life
I found my selfish looking out for
Trouble and strife
Someone with whom I’ll spend
The rest of my days
But if I ever said I wasn’t
Set in my ways
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
You’d have to be a fool
Not to think about it

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

Who’ll make a man out of me?

One thing I know about
The rest of my life
I know that I’ll be
Living it in Canada
I know I said I’ll share
The rest of my days
But I was only
Going through a phase

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
You’d have to be a fool
Not to think about it?

I know that I’m just a friend
Not what you call a relation
Wonder what they would say
Regarding this situation
Oh yeah
Looking forward ’til next time
I promise that I won’t drag my feet
Always looking for reasons
To walk on your street
Oh yeah

It’s been so long
It’s been so long
You think you’re on your own
Just taking it slow
But something always happens
Whenever we’re together, it shows

I feel that I’m out of touch
Not very good at pretending
But when you sail in my path
I don’t know what I’m defending
Oh yeah
Looking forward ’til next time
I might as well just admit defeat
It’s the bridge to “Falling” I always repeat
Oh yeah

It’s been so long
It’s been so long
You think you’re on your own
Just taking it slow
But something always happens
Whenever we’re together, it shows

It’s been so long
It feels like a false alarm
You think you’re on your own
Just taking it slow
But something always happens
Whenever we’re together

It’s been so long
It feels like a false alarm
You think you’re on your own
Just taking it slow
But something always happens
Whenever we’re together

It’s been so long
It feels like a false alarm
You think you’re on your own
I take that it shows
That something always happens
Whenever we’re together, it goes

I can see the writing on the wall
You hardly see me lately if at all
Well well
It’s funny you say that
’Cause I miss you like I never have before
But nothing lasts forever anymore

I wanna know you I wanna trust you
But you get a lot of love from the guys
I wanna show you off but must you
Be easy on the ears and the eyes too?

Don’t you know the time is right?
Don’t you know the time is right?

It’s funny you say that
’Cause I’m standin’ here
And what that’s standin’ for
Is nothing lasts forever anymore

Don’t you know the time is right?
Don’t you know the time is right?

I believe you mean it when you say
That you have time for me but not today
Well well
It’s funny you say that
It may be true but one thing is for sure
Is nothing lasts forever anymore

Don’t you know nothing lasts forever anymore?
And nothing lasts forever anymore
Don’t you know nothing lasts forever anymore?
And nothing lasts forever anymore

It’s funny you say that

I followed it half way around the world
It’s obnoxious and absurd
I dedicate myself too late
To all the people who have heard
The sound of the living gospel
The promise of the living word
That a fool like me can refuse to believe
And to get what I deserve

Take it on
Take it on

Arms and elbows
Made to hold close
Legs that follow
Head that’s hollow
All that you know
Is love must grow
Or you will lose
Or you will lose

The hardest lesson that you learn
Elimination of concern
I realise the compromise
It’s the flicker not the burn
It’s easy living life on the outside
To never have to wait for your turn
But even a fool like me can refuse to believe
And still get what I deserve

Never needed nobody
Never needed a girl
I’ve been breakin’ my own heart
I’ve been rockin’ my world

Jealous of myself
Up until I finally gotta
Load of you
Now you’re the one I want
So you gotta tell me
What I gotta do

(So that I’m) Ready
I’m ready for you
I’m ready
I’m ready for you

My life is so lonesome
Now I know you exist
We could talk on the phone some
But I’d rather we kissed

Always lookin’ in
But you showed me
How I could be lookin’ out
For somebody else
I suppose you
Showed me what it’s all about

(I think I’m) Ready
I’m ready for you
I’m ready
I’m ready for you

I’m beggin’ my pardon
I guess I never knew
I’ve been lookin’ for something
Something tells me it’s you

(I think I’m) Ready
I’m ready for you
I’m ready
I’m ready for you
(I think I’m) Ready
I’m ready for you
I’m ready
I’m ready for you
(I think I’m) Ready

Close your eyes
Move with the flow
Compromise just let it go, it’s ok
Look at me then look away
The sorry state of our lives today until I say

I was wrong
You were right

Open up just let me in
Find that place under your skin where I stay
Remove tomorrow burn down the past
Stay together and have a blast ’cause I say

I was wrong
You were right

I was wrong
You were right
It’s so easy

Look at me then look away
The sorry state of our lives, it’s ok
Remove tomorrow burn down the past
Stay together and have a blast ’cause I

I was wrong
You were right

Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
I had so much fun
I couldn’t help myself
I knew I had to see the rising sun

I did and thought even then
I didn’t want that moment to end

For some it’s enough
But gimme some more
Staying up or staying in
Who loves life more?

Though I have to confess
I blacked out while I was still dressed

Some do the work
That others ignore
They’ll be busy but
Who loves life more?

Early to rise
I was working one morning
I got so much done
I had been up for hours but knew
I had see the setting sun

I did and thought even then
I didn’t want that moment to end

For some it’s a pleasure
And others a chore
Schedules or sleeping in
Who loves life more?

Though I have to admit
Near the end I slacked off a bit

Some people play
But are they secure?
They get by but
Who loves life more?

Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
(I had so much fun)
Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
(I couldn’t help myself...)

I did and thought even then
I didn’t want that moment to end

Restoring the mind
Or minding the store
Punching in or punching out
Who loves life more?

Though I have to suggest
A small dose of both would be best

For some it’s enough
But gimme some more
Breathing in or breathing out
Who loves life more?

Reach out!
You’ve got something more to say
That’ll blow away the human race
Shine a light on any shadow of doubt
Meet me half way, just reach out

So reach out, reach out

The typical way to celebrate
The invisible way that we both hate
I’ll give you something to shout about
I knock you down and then reach out

So reach out, reach out

Trace patterns to see
If we’re just rewriting history
The die it was cast long ago
A carbon copy we could have been
Buried under files that won’t be seen
The die it was cast long ago

Everybody seems content to fade away
Ooo you got it, don’t shut it away

Something once mattered to me
But it’s forgotten so conveniently
Is it the end of the family line?
A carbon copy I could have been
Don’t you know I never
Settled for the in-between
The die it was cast long ago

Everybody seems content to fade away
Ooo you got it, don’t shut it away
Everybody seems content to fade away
Ooo you got it, don’t shut it away
