I'm coming back around again
My hands covered in dirt
I try so hard to show you
But all I get is work
Why can't you ever praise me
Instead of pushing me down?
You're always out to get me
Instead of helping me around
I can never understand you as hard as I try
My attempts to impress you just wither and die
Can't you tell I'm trying? I do this for you
Why can't you ever help me, instead of running me through with your words?
I'll never give up on you
I'm trying so hard
To try and break through
But your heart seems so scarred
Why can't you ever praise me
Instead of pushing me down?
You're always out to get me
Instead of helping me around
You're never satisfied, that's why...
Holding on, he'll never let us down
Fighting on, he'll never let us fall
We'll never reach the ground, he's gonna be our hero
Cheer aloud, here comes our man of steel, walking on
C'mon crowd, he's gonna be the one, he's gonna save us now, he's gonna be our hero
Watch him go (he's gonna be our hero)
A one man show (he's gonna be our hero)
Save our lives (he's gonna be our hero)
Don't let us die (he's gonna be our hero)
He's gonna be our hero
He's gonna be our hero, yeah!
So this time it can't go much worse than it did before
Can you see me trembling as I'm reaching for the door?
Did you hear me whisper that I hated all the words?
Words of pure emotion that gave us both the notion
We'll let love pass us by for the moment
Did we say goodbye to anything?
Moving on
It's too bad this will be your last song
Pushed along
I guess it wasn't perfect after all
Did you see this coming, or were you shocked like me?
I guess I'll never know until you spell it out for me
The last time I saw you, the look before I hit the floor
I guess that I was blinded, too many times blindsided
You're gonna be so surprised
And you'll soon realize
That life goes on with out you, I'd never make it waiting for you
I can't let this happen again, you never were my friend
How did we get here I can't seem to find out
With every new step, it's like a year drawn out of me
Filled with excitement but I'm scared all the same
It's like I'm close to the line, but it's pouring down rain on me
Pouring on me, I just can't win
Pouring on me, just go away
Pouring on me, just go away
But I push anyway
You think you have me but I'm holding on strong
Give everything you got and I'll keep pushing it off of me
Filled with excitement but I'm scared all the same
It's like I'm close to the line, but it's pouring down rain on me
Ducking, running, you think you have me but I'm running away from you
Standing, pushing, give all you got and I'll keep pushing it off of me
I still can't see through you, you're always there
I'd push my way pust you, but I got too scared
Couldn't let go of the hurt, couldn't let go of the pain
Your nails penetrate me, drive me insane
I can't be controlled, but I'll play your game
My head's always spinning, I'm lost in this rain
Caught in your arms, the place that I know
Tried to pull myself away from you, but I couldn't let go
Still living, keep breathing, get a picture of this:
Me leaving
(This song's about girls too)
You should see her walking, she moves with such grace
She has the perfect body to match the perfect face
Why's she talking to me? Was she bribed or was she paid?
She's not so ordinary, she's the girl I want today
Her blue eyes are astounding
How did she get so thin?
If I could give a rating
She'd be a perfect ten
My gosh, she's comin' at me
Is my breath okay?
She's not so ordinary, she's the girl I want today
I could watch her every minute, my eyes they never stray
If she found out I loved her, would she smile or run away?
My heart is for the taking, these words I'll never say
To a girl not ordinary, she's the girl I want today
I'm hooked I can't deny it
I guess I'll have to try it
Retrieve this girl I fell for
So I could be with her more
Why are a lot of songs about girls?
Are they that important?
Why do songs have to be depressing
And not always happy?
Why can't we write about video games?
Why can't we write about boats?
But I guess it's alright, 'cause
This song's about girls too...
