[00:00.48]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
