As you push it up through the soil
I will shake your filthy hand
You may be dead to me but that don’t mean
We can’t be friends
And now it’s time to get over this
Long as it’s just clear you understand
That I will never trust a single thing
You say again
Because the judge of you
Is someone I could never be
Is why you should thank the Lord
That it is Him and it’s not me
But don’t give up, it’s not the end
There’s hope for every fallen man
To pick themselves up when they think they can
Because with every passing second
Comes a second chance, oh, oh, oh
You stole so much from me
And there is nothing left to take
Save a hard learned lesson
On how to not make the same mistake
And you may be delirious
But that is something that will fade
After you confess that this mess is
All something that you made
Oh, because the judge of you
Is someone I could never be
Is why you should thank the Lord
That it is Him and it’s not me
But don’t give up, it’s not the end
There’s hope for every fallen man
To pick themselves up when they think they can
Because with every passing second
Comes a second chance, oh, oh, oh
Don’t give up, it’s not the end
You’ll get back on your feet again
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can
Because with every passing second
Comes a second chance, oh, oh, oh
Take a good look at yourself and know
You’ve got yourself ways to go
But difficult is not impossible
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
You’ll emerge eventually
As long as your heart’s not too far gone
From the only thing that can save you from yourself
Forgiveness can be given when you think it can
‘Cause with every passing second
Comes a second chance
It was the year
I crashed my motor bike
I think it was the summer
I think you whispered
When you gonna wake up?
When you gonna wake up?
Dear
Slip these on your tongue
Let us see it’s a reinvention
In angels hands, the medicine, a modern man
Wait now
Tell me that this isn’t over
Hang on
Just long enough
If this is heaven
Or if it’s just a warning
Say you will stay with me
Even if it’s just til’ morning
If this is over
Then why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
Stay here
And we can start again
And we can be made over
You’ll hear us shouting
When you gonna wake up?
When you gonna wake up?
Scared
Well everyone gets scared
Just signal when your ready
And angels hands seem so steady
Seem so steady
Wait now
Tell me that this isn’t over
Hang on
Just long enough
If this is heaven
Or if it’s just a warning
Say you will stay with me
Even if it’s just til’ morning
If this is over
Then why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
If your running
From your secrets
I will make you take them with you
I am ready
I can take it
You don’t have to carry them alone
There’s a way out
If you want it
To an end or a new beginning
You just have to find it on your own
If this is heaven
Or if it’s just a warning
Say you will stay with me
If this is over
Then why is it so hard?
Just say you will stay with me
One more night
One more night
One more night
One more night
(even if its just til’ morning)
One more night
One more night
One more night
(even if its just til’ morning)
{Verse 1} When I was younger I saw my daddy cry And curse at the wind He broke his own heart And I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my momma swore that She would never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I’d never sing of love If it does not exist But darlin’ {Chorus} You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception {Verse 2} Maybe I know, somewhere Deep in my soul That love never lasts And we’ve got to find other ways To make it alone Or keep a straight face And I’ve always lived like this Keeping a comfortable, distance And up until now I had sworn to myself that I’m content With loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk {Chorus} You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception {Bridge} I’ve got a tight grip on reality, but I can’t Let go of what’s in front of me here I know you’re leaving in the morning, when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream {Chorus} You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception [X2] And I’m on my way to believing Oh, and I’m on my way to believing
She is my rock and my rolling thunder
I’ve been the spell she was under
I, I love that girl
She is my cigarettes and champagne
She’s got me strung, but I’m not running
I, I love that girl
She is the days I can’t get over
She is the nights that I call home
Endlessly, for you I’ll always wait
Caught in the waves of hesitation
Lost in the sea of my own doubt
Endlessly, for you I’ll always wait
For you I’ll always wait
She is the flame and the fire she’s raging
I’ve been the spark and the war she’s waging
I, I love that girl
She came along and she spoke so sweetly
Changed eveything, took my heart completely
I, I love that girl
The city bars and empty cars
It’s 3 A.M., I wonder where you are
And the crooked smiles and worn out miles between us
I wonder where you are
Say goodbye
Lose your friends
Make them go
Don’t need them around
Cause it’s time
Lose your friends
Make them go
Was never supposed to be like this
They were too weak too prone to break
Their needs too deep their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again
So go on
If this will make you happier-er
It got you this far
Do what you have to
You’ve wasted
Every moment
Of your Saturdays
and your Sundays
You’re wasted from the boredom
Was never supposed to be like this
Like your father said
Just do what was done unto you
Always
In your father’s steps
Just do what was done unto you
It wont be hard to start again
So go on
If this will make you happier-er
It got you this far
Do what you have to
And you’re gone now
( Well you’ve know this would come and you’ve left me alone )
And did it make you happier?
( You’re lost and your gone. Don’t take it so seriously )
Was it that hard?
( Go on and get going. I’m fine on my own )
Did what you had to
( It got you this far. Finally got it figured out )
One more inch
You son of a bitch
Been a waste of my time
Always
Now you’re half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes
Always
So go on
If this’ll make you happier-er
It got you this far
Do what you have to
And you’re gone now
( Well you’ve know this would come and you’ve left me alone )
And did it make you happier?
( You’re lost and your gone. Don’t take it so seriously )
Was it that hard?
( Go on and get going. I’m fine on my own )
Did what you had to
( It got you this far. Finally got it figured out )
Yesterday
Is not quite what it could’ve been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today
With every breath I’m breathing in
I’ll be trying to make it so much more
Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what’s gone wrong
And the hope of a new day
Is sometimes hard to see (what you see)
And though I’m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
And the light there at the end is
Where I’ll be
Cause I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
I know I’m capable of
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you
To be prosperous
Would not require much of me
You see contentment is the one thing
It entails
To be content with where I am
And getting where I need to be
I’m moving past the past
Where I have failed
But I’m finally catching onto it
And now the past is just a conduit
Right there at the end
Is where I’ll be
Oh
Cause I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
What I’ve gained from love
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
A better version of me
For you
You never cease
To supply me with
What I need
For a good life
So when I’m down
I’ll hold my head up high
Cause you’re the reason why
I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
And I haven’t given up
Given up on what
What I’ve gained from love
And I’m on the up and up
I’m on the up and up
Yeah there’s nothing left to prove
Cause I’m just trying to be
A better version of me
For you
(Trying to be a better version of me for you)
Oh
