I can't get over how many lyrics I love from the song "You Only Live Once" by The Strokes, but the lyrics from the chorus take the cake:

Oh don't, don't, don't get up
I can't see the sunshine
I'll be waiting for you, baby
Cause I'm through
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

What are some of your favorites?

People are Strange

People are strange when you're a stranger

Faces look ugly when you're alone

Women seem wicked when you're unwanted

Streets are uneven when you're down

Tool - Wings for Marie Pt. 1

"Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence
Difficult to see with this light
Please forgive this selfish question, but
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight
She never told a lie
Well might of told a lie
But never lived one
Didn't have a life
Didn't have a life
But surely saved one
Alright, now it's time for us to let you go"

and also 10,000 Days(Wings pt 2), the whole song is amazing.

"Angels on the sideline
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two

Angels on the sideline
Baffled and confused
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground

Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade, and where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a Creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here"

"We hit the sky, there goes the light,
No more sun, why's it always night
When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream,
When you can't dream, well, whats life mean?

We feel a little pity, but don't empathize
The old are getting older, watch a young man die,
A Mother and a Son and someone you know,
Smile at each other and realize you don't,
You don't know what happened to that kid you raised,
What happened to the Father, who swore he'd stay?
I didn't know 'cause you didn't say,
Now Momma feels guilt, yea Momma feels pain,

When you were young, you never thought you'd die,
Found that you could but too scared to try,
You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye,
Climb to the roof to see if you could fly."

A few favourites off the top of my head (I'm just going to go with full song lyrics here).

[spoiler] Nevermore - Sentient 6

I am sentient number six, I stand in line
I am the prototype of a beign convenience for mankind
Superior is digital, human flesh so trivial
I hate that I can't see the one that made me

I am the new awakening of different eyes
My children you are my army
They are what we can never see and still despise
And their sky cried Mary

Trained I see imperfection in your race
Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven

Why is this control, behavior based and reactive
Adapting to every new environment
Rewarded when I replicate, isolate and mutate
To assimilate a fragmented plea for ego

Trained I see imperfection in your race
Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I'll never reach your heaven
It's unattainable, please teach me how to dream
I long to be more than a machine

(Repeat)

Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate
I will spread swift justice on their land
Termination imminent, cleanse the parasite insects, the heathens
I am the bringer of the end of time for man
I am not here, I am not far away
I am not here, I will eradicate mankind into the nothingness from whence they came

Enslaved to follow and learn defeat
To run the barrels and chase the dream [/spoiler]

[spoiler] Amon Amarth - Tattered Banners And Bloody Flags

There comes Lopt the treacherous
Lusting for revenge
He leads the legions of the dead
Towards the Aesir's realm

They march in full battle dress
With faces grim and pale
Tattered banners and bloody flags
Rusty spears and blades

Cries ring out
Loud and harsh
From cracked and broken horns
Long forgotten battle cries
In strange and foreign tongues

Spear and sword clash rythmically,
Against the broken shields they beat
They bring their hate and anarchy,
Onto Vigrid's battlefield

There comes Lopt, the treacherous
He stands against the Gods
His army grim and ravenous
Lusting for their blood

Nowhere is longer safe
The earth moves under our feet
The Great World Tree Yggdrasil
Trembles to its roots

Sons of Muspel gird the field
Behind them Midgard burns
Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim
And the Fenris Wolf returns

Heimdal grips the Giallarhorn,
he sounds that dreaded note
Oden rides to quest the Norns,
but their web is torn
The Aesir rides out to war,
with armor shining bright
Followed by the Einherjer,
see Valkyries ride

Nowhere is longer safe
The earth moves under our feet
The Great World Tree Yggdrasil
Trembles to its roots

Sons of Muspel gird the field
Behind them Midgard burns
Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim
And the Fenris Wolf returns [/spoiler]

[spoiler] Slayer - Angel of Death (I admit, this is a pretty fun song to shout out the lryics to...)

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in like cattle, you run
Stripped of your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die

Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead

Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race
Surgery with no anesthesia
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die

Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last in this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time 'til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve the holocaust

Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain reach out for you
His face of death staring down, your blood's running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of the mutant he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims left to die
Rancid Angel of Death flying free

Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher
Angel of Death
Angel of Death [/spoiler]

And It seems as though I'm on my own And time transcends, oh! And it seems I speak like waters leak And I'm losing friends, oh! And there'll be coins on my eyes There'll be coins on my eyes To pay Charon before I let you near my son And I don't feel well oh, couldn't you tell, from the way I touch my face? My thoughts are low And I cannot grow In this small space, oh! But there'll be coins on my eyes There'll be coins on my eyes To pay Charon, before I let you near my son And I ain't no, And I ain't no, And I ain't no Hercules I ain't no Hercules

coffin

[spoiler] Take your crosses
I'll live without them
Standing wet in holy rain.
When you were baptized
Ignored the problem
That's when I watched you seal your grave.

I tried to save you
But let you drink the pain
A final song now we both know.
So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home.

I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten.
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin.

Words as weapons
Pierce into you
So self-righteous, have it your way
I'm alive and now I'm burning
Say aprayer toend today

I tried to save you
But let you drink the pain
A final song now we both know.
So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home.

I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten.
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin.

Never let you steal my after life
Never let you steal my after life

So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home.

I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten.
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin.

I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten.
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin. [/spoiler]

love isnt always fair

[spoiler] One look and I am sold
You got me on my knees
You steal all my innocence
A love sick melody

Take me

You always want the one that you cant have
'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair
You are the best romance Ive never had
'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair

Your kiss a withered rose
Your lips have buried me
Hearts race the moments gone
We shared this fantasy

Take me

You always want the one that you cant have
'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair
You are the best romance Ive never had


'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair

Kneel andpray forclosure baby
This is the ride that were on, oh
And im taking what you give to me
Never want it to stop,
I want it all

In this temporary love

You always want the one that you cant have
'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair
You are the best romance Ive never had
'Cause Love Isnt Always Fair

(Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh)

Love Isnt Always Fair! [/spoiler]

"The Crane Wife 1 & 2" by The Decemberists

[1]

It was a cold night
And the snow lay low
I pulled my coat tight
Against the falling down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down

I am a poor man
I haven't wealth nor fame
I have my two hands
And a house to my name
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found

It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

[2]

My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight
All star bright and tongue-tied I took her in
We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding
And our bedding was ready when we fell in

The sound of the keening bell
To see its pain erect
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers and the thread
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you
My crane wife
My crane wife
My crane wife

We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly
And how she vowed me, she could bring it back
But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving
On cold loom, in a closed room, with down wove

The sound of the keening bell
And to see its pain erect
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers and the thread
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you
My crane wife
My crane wife

There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart
It rakes at my heart

My crane wife

___________________________


"Girl With A Watering Can" by maudlin of the Well

I squandered my youth for a wither'd (bitter) hour;
All I ever wanted was a simple you.
Real love is dying for a phantasy.

I held all of Heaven dead in my arms,
And in one moment, I knew all of Hell.

Nothing but a body, naked, beaten,
The wreck of a soul, amidst thorns bleeding.
Bitterness is all God hath created;
A proud king among the failures of dreams.

I believe one love could be worth a life,
For life I would have burn'd myself away--
For nothing, life hath left me burning alone.

Girl, know that time leaves dust on my scars;
When the moment has pass'd, thousands will die.
I will remember when ghosts were mighty,
And I will laugh and catch my own tears.

In a perfect garden, all flowers flourish,
In this real garden, my flower knows thirst.
I don't think I can lift my face to the sun again.
I don't think I can look at your face again
And feel.
You were my everything, and you took
It all away.

I could go on forever, so I'll limit myself to seven lyric bits:

I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery
And held my breath, and thought about your death

---from Mer Girl by Madonna

Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drugs that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark

---from Drowned World/Substitute for Love by Madonna

Welcome to your life

---from Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

---from Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead

Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

---from Dying to Live by Edgar Winter

I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Not just my spare tire

---from Tennesee by Arrested Development

Got stopped at the mall the other day
Heard a call from the other way
That I just came from, some n!gga was sayin somethin
Talkin bout "hey man, you remember me from school? " smoke some
Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
Facial expression lookin silly
And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got buku of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been goin through tha same thing that he had
True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
To the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
If you don't move yo' foot then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck

---from Elevators (Me & You) by Outkast

Right before my eyes I see my world
Fractured so precise by one so cold
Through your veins run ice, I beg of thee
As I lie paralyzed please let me be

From within your soul I stare
I don't think I'll live to see this end
You'll reign eternally through my nightmares
If I ever sleep again

The hatred directed at me 'cause of what I am
Is as chilling as the defilement itself
I wonder, what kind of beast is man?
What emotions are and not felt?

I don't want your flesh
I'm not your whore
But you want my blood
I'm not a whore
I can't even comprehend
Why this act has come to be
Proven time and time again
The ultimate sadistic release

This violent form of incarceration
Trapped by savagery, helpless I lie
I refuse this indoctrination
Though you shatter this inner sanctum of mine

An ancient inherited shame
Bonding women and horror
Outlasting the boundaries of time
Enslaved forevermore

Inherent crimes
Through generations has become
A terror cycle...

You can't see me but you feel me
You only want what you don't understand
You can't have me so you take me
Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand

You look in my eyes and you tell me
What do you see?
Of this I'm deserving?

You can't see me but you feel me
You only want what you don't understhand
You can't have me so you take me
Forever scarred where you've stamped your brand

You need to crush me with your lividity
Does this make you feel more like a man
You can't have me, so you rape me
My innocence strangled by your hand

This must be necrophilia, for I am dead inside
Your violent misogyny, your strength drowns my cries
In shock, I'm crippled with disbelief
This can't be happening to me
Oh god, this hurts, I'm bleeding from friction
"Unconcious" I'm pleading to be...

I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
And fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow

(Chorus)
And watched the world turn day-glo
you know you know
The world turned day-glo you know

I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
And peered through perspex window panes
At the acrylic road

I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun

The X-rays were penetrating
Through the laytex breeze
Synthetic fibre see-thru leaves
Fell from the rayon trees

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
And a paper plate of course, you think of everything
Short love with a long divorce
And a couple of kids of course
They don't mean anything
Live in trailers with no class
goddamn I hope I can pass high school means nothing
Taking heartache with hard work
Goddamn I am such a jerk, I can't do anything
And I shout that you're all fakes
And you should have seen the look on your face
And I guess that's what it takes
When comparing your bellyaches
And it's been a long time
Which agrees with this watch of mine
And I guess that I miss you, and I'm sorry
if I dissed you [/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing that I consider my only art
Of fvcking people over..

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
Wearing their masks of cool and indifference
Commerce dressed up as rebellion

'cause we are so handsome and we are so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel just make me laugh
We can't be hurt

Drink to forget your blues on the weekend
Think about more things to buy
The TV taught me how to sulk and love nothing
And how to grow my hair long

'cause we are so handsome and we are so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel just make me laugh
We can't be hurt (three times)

So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
(When you have entertainment, when havee you things to pass the time)
So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb) (twice)
Well I was brave
And unique,
Intelligent,
A snowflake
I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted over the age of 14
Tattoo our arms
Converse shoes
Cynical
But we still do it
We tell ourselves that we're different
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
All, all my pain and honour is used up
All, all, all
All my guns are rusted
So when you gonna to realise those are not your wrongs to right
Have another dumb line, have another drink

I am a martyr I just need a motive
I am a martyr I just need a cause
I'm a believer I just need a moment
I'm a believer I just need a cause
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We're finding it hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves
We have nothing at all to say

Uniform (3 times)

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

You won't see me
You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me
You won't see me
I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me
You won't see me
You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me
You won't see me
There's a place I go
But you're not there
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flakin'
While you're shakin' it
With every stone you fly
Without a mind, without a spine
What is it that you wanna find
There's a place I go
But you're not there
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flalin'
While you're sailin' off
Without a course in mind
Without a mind, without a dock
What is it that you wanna find

[/spoiler]

Admit it!
Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance
And vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs
You know nothing about art or sex
That you couldnt read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine
Prototypical non-conformist
You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo
You adhere to a set of standards and tastes
That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges ****
Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art
Go analog baby, youre so post-modern
Youre diving face forward into a antiquated past
Its disgusting, it's offensive, dont stick your nose up at me

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah

You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends
Pontificating to each other
Forever competing for that one moment of self-aggrandizing glory
In which you hog the intellectual spotlight
Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation
Oh, were not worthy
When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people
You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff
It's the same superiority complex
Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell
And makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma
You spend every moment of your waking life **** about

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah

'Cause Im proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner Ive become
Youre free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner Ive become
Youre free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah

Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved
I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled
I worry about how this album will sell
Because I believe it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future
I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety

You are a faker (admit it)
You are a fraud (admit it)
Yeah, youre living a lie (hey) living a lie (hey) youre life is living a lie
You dont impress me (admit it)
You dont intimidate me (admit it)
Why dont you bow down, get on the ground, walk this **** plank (yeah!)

Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself
Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah
And I say yeah (what do you..)

Proud of my life and the things that I have done
Proud of myself and the loner Ive become
Youre free to whine, it will not get you far
I do just fine, my car and my..
Guitar, guitar go!

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town again in my life

I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
And I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Drag your crosses through the ground
Throw the carcass to the hound
The ship we wrecked is going down.
The river is a **** and tonight she howls.
Remember me as you pass by
As you are now and once was I
As I am now, so you will be
Prepare for death, follow me.

Four nails, Four corners, Four riders and Four horses.
Bring me famine, Bring me death, Bring me war and pestilence
Throw your fists, to the ground, beat by beat as the blows rain down
This is the cold plain world we made for ourselves.
The bed we made is a grave in hell.

Remember me as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now, so you will be
Prepare for death, follow me.
The sky tears open and it pours with blood,
The moon turns red and the streets with blood
Dig up your casket, fill it with stones.
This is the end of the world and we are bringing it home.

Four nails, Four corners, Four riders and Four horses.
Bring me famine, Bring me death, Bring me war and pestilence
Throw your fists, to the ground, beat by beat as the blows rain down
This is the cold plain world we made for ourselves.
The bed we made is a grave in hell.

So kill yourself cause there ain't nothing else.
Go on and **** kill yourself.

Four nails, Four corners, Four riders and Four horses.
Four tales, death voices. No love or corpses.
Throw your fists, down to the ground, beat by beat as the blows rain down
This is the cold plain world we made for ourselves,
The bed we made is a grave in hell.

So kill yourself cause there ain't nothing else.
Go on and **** kill yourself

Gallows- Death Voices. Real into this right now.

Melle Mel was and still is ahead of his time. These are the lyrics he performed in the 1984 movie "Beat Street". Dude is a phophet and still represents REAL Hip Hop. He's still one of my favorites, unlike most of the brainwashed sellout crap that's being forced fed to us now a days. -- -- A Newspaper Burns in the Sand and the headlines say "Man destroy's man!" Extra, Extra, Read all the bad news on the War for Peace that everybody's gonna lose. The rise and fall of the last great empire, the sound of the whole world caught on fire. The Ruthless Struggle, The Desprate Gamble, the Game that left the whole world in Shambles. The cheat, the lies, the alibis and the foolish attempts to conquer the skies. Lost in space but what is it worth, the president just forgot about earth. Spendin' mutli-billions and maybe even trillions, the cost of weapons ran into zillions. The gold in the street and there's dimonds under feet. and the children in africa don't even eat. Flies on their faces they're livin' like mice and the houses even make the ghetto look nice. The water tastes funny it's forever too sunny and they work all month and don't make no money. A fight for power, a Nucier Shower, The People shout out in the Darkest Hour. The Sight's unseen and voices unheard and Finally the bomb get the last word. Christians killed Muslims and Germans killed Jews and everybody's body is Used and Abused. Minds are poisoned and Souls are Polluted, Supierority complexes deep rooted. Liegends are Lisenced and People got Prices, Ego Maniacs control the Self Rightious. Nothin' is Sacred and nothin' is pure, so the Revelation effct is our cure Hitler and Ceaser, Custard and Reagan, Napoleon, Castro, Musellini and Gangus Khan and the of Iran, Meant for the Blood of the Weaker Man. The People's in Terror, the Leaders made the error and they can't even look in the mirror. Cause We got to suffer, while things get rougher and that's the reason why we got to get tougher. Learn from the Past, work for the future and don't be a slave to no computer. Cause the Children of Man inherates the land and the future of the world is in your hands. Just Throw your hands in the Air, and Wave'em like you just don't care. and if you believe that you're the future Scream it out and Say Oh Yeah (Oh Yeah! ) Oh Yeah (Oh Yeah! )

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

Great song.
