La la ... |
| [00:21.93] |
I was turning nineteen, on a cold December night |
| [00:27.03] |
Burning like kerosine for nearly half of my life |
| [00:32.54] |
And I barely had the GPA to make it out of Eugene |
| [00:37.65] |
You can blame it on me with a ADHD while I'm falling asleep during the Sat's |
| [00:43.05] |
And as I pack my bags and headed to a foreign land |
| [00:47.44] |
One way ticket on a one way plane |
| [00:50.13] |
Laying my head down to home each night |
| [00:52.65] |
The same devil's calling and that same old fight |
| [00:55.37] |
Cuz this one's for middle surfs living in the middle love |
| [00:58.02] |
Where they coming from and a halfway rush of blood |
| [01:00.90] |
This ones for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending |
| [01:05.62] |
For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light |
| [01:11.08] |
Looking for just one reason to get through the night |
| [01:16.03] |
Every long lost believer caught in the fight |
| [01:22.50] |
All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright |
| [01:26.85] |
Everybody sing |
| [01:28.22] |
La la... |
| [01:52.31] |
And I was turning twenty five in a city that don't sleep |
| [01:57.16] |
Was feeling only half alive to the dreams that I keep |
| [02:02.57] |
And I kept on waiting only she's waiting for me |
| [02:08.09] |
You burning down lane on a quarter tank of pain with soles off your feet |
| [02:13.80] |
And you've been waiting and praying for the right one to come |
| [02:18.05] |
Watch the rising and the falling but another said its certain |
| [02:20.57] |
Nobody seems quite good enough for you except the wrong one she keep running back to |
| [02:25.38] |
So this one's for Mike still waiting for his wife |
| [02:28.62] |
This one's for grandma losing the love of her life |
| [02:31.44] |
This ones for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending |
| [02:36.51] |
For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light |
| [02:41.72] |
Looking for just one reason to get through the night |
| [02:46.98] |
Every long lost believer caught in the fight |
| [02:52.80] |
All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright |
| [02:58.10] |
Everybody sing |
| [02:58.86] |
La la... |
| [03:23.23] |
And this one right here ah. this is for the fat girls |
| [03:31.88] |
This one is a... is for the little brothers |
| [03:36.37] |
This is for the schoolyard wimps, for the childhood bullies who tormented them |
| [03:42.03] |
To the former prom queen and to the no crate ball players |
| [03:46.03] |
For the nighttime serial leaders and for the retired elderly walmart store front door greeters |
| [03:53.97] |
Shake the dust |
| [03:56.58] |
This is for the benches and the people sitting upon |
| [03:59.65] |
For the bus driver's driving a million broken hymns |
| [04:02.55] |
To the men who have to hold down three jobs simply to hold up their children |
| [04:07.00] |
For the nighttime schoolers and for the midnight bike riders trying to fly |
| [04:12.11] |
Shake the dust |
| [04:14.43] |
This is for the two year-olds who cannot be understood because they speak half english and half God |
| [04:19.23] |
Shake the dust |
| [04:20.64] |
For the boys with the beautiful beautiful sisters |
| [04:23.47] |
Shake the dust |
| [04:24.38] |
For the girls with those brothers who are going crazy |
| [04:27.82] |
Those June class wallflowers and the twelve year-old afraid of taking public showers |
| [04:32.16] |
For the kid who is always late to class and forgets the combination to his lockers |
| [04:35.90] |
And the girl who loved somebody else |
| [04:38.03] |
Shake the dust |
| [04:40.11] |
This is for the hard men who want love but know that it won't come |
| [04:45.57] |
For the one's amendments who not stayin' up |
| [04:48.65] |
For the ones who are forgotten |
| [04:50.22] |
For the ones who are told to speak only when you are spoken to |
| [04:53.94] |
And then they are never spoken to speak (La la...) |
| [04:56.17] |
Every time you stands you do not forget yourself |
| [04:58.10] |
Do not let one moment go by that doesn't remind you that your heart beats hundred thousand times a day |
| [05:05.07] |
And that they have gallons |
