Bad Company

I think I’m doing just fine
Compared to what you’ve been doing
Saving my life
It’s not what you’re doing
I won’t justify
The way I live my life
‘Cause I’m the one livin’ it
Feelin’ it, tastin’ it
And you’re just wasting your time
Trying to throw me a line
When you’re the one drowning
I like where I’m at on my back
Floating down in my own riptide
The water is fine
I like to step on cracks
I go against the odds
I leave when others stay
I don’t mind if you wait
But I don’t waste my time
Crazy is just fine
‘Cause I like where I’m going.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while
It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I can’t find the rhyme in all my reason
Lost sense of time and all seasons
Can’t sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I know I can’t hold the hate inside my mind
‘Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I’ll just ask a question
A lonely simple question
I’ll just ask one question.

I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
I just don’t wanna miss you tonight
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive
And I don’t want the world to see me
‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

Well I can’t stand to look at you now
This revelation’s out of my hands
Still I can’t bear the thought of you now
This complication’s leaving me scared
Stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey keep your sickness off me trying to get through
Blame all your weakness on me
Shame that I’m so contrite
Hey keep your fingers off me, why can’t I get through?
You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth.

Well I heard your voice on a Tulsa wind
When I was far away from home
I will come to you in a dream my friend
To love you when I’m gone
And there’s never a second
Never a moment that you’ll ever be alone
From Memphis to Oklahoma
From Boston to California
From Detroit to Arizona
I will alway be forever,
Here with you
Well the first time I ever seen you face
I saw the ghost behind your eyes
Ever consuming me with your warm embrace
And in just one second
Just one moment
It finally feels like home
In life there will be trials and troubles
But we will always have each other.

And I will never feel,
Anything else until my wounds are healed
And I will break away,
And find myself today
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long erase all the pain til it’s gone
I want to heal,
I want to feel,
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong.
I want to heal.
I want to feel like I’m,
Somewhere I belong.

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me.

Listen up, turn it up and rock it out
party on, I wanna hear you scream and shout
I came to get down to get some fucking respect
taking it back to hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal.
I’ll never give in
I’ll never give up
I’ll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
I want domination
I want your submission
I see you’re not resisting
To this temptation
I’ve got one confession
A love deprivation
I’ve got a jet black heart
It’s all fucked up and it’s falling apart
I’ve got another confession
I fell to temptation
And there is no question
There was some connection
I’ve got to follow my heart
No matter how far
I’ve gotta roll the dice
Never look back and never think twice
Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I’m stronger than you’ll ever know
That’s the deal; you get no respect
You’re gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck.
