Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said 'We can't leave her behind'
Son, I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please don't take the girl"
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"
And Johnny said
"Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please don't take the girl"
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one, and she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hid his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'

Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
On this bed I lay
Losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much
Or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I will not die, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
For all the times that we,
We ever wouldn't be,
Look at us baby,
Look at us now,
For everyday that I should have you by my side,
We'll make it baby,
Look at us now,
For every night I pray,
I know that you will stay,
Look at us baby,
Look at us now,
Remembering the time our love was not so fine,
We made it baby,
Look at us now,
Baby look at us,
Everybody believed we would never be,
Look at us up above,
We are so in love,
Everyday in your arms,
Baby can't go wrong we are strong look at us now,
For all the times that we,
We ever were to be,
Look at us baby,
Look at us now,
For everyday that I should have you by my side,
We'll make it baby,
Look at us now,
For every night I pray,
I know that you will stay,
Look at us baby,
Look at us now,
Remembering the time,
Our love was not so fine,
We made it baby,
Look at us
Baby look at us,
Baby look at us,
Baby look at us.
We ever wouldn't be,
Look at us baby,
Look at us now,
For everyday that I should have you by my side,

Look at us now,
Remembering the time our love was not so fine,
We made it baby,
Look at us now,
Baby look at us,

We made it baby,
Look at us
Baby look at us,
Baby look at us,
Baby look at us.
Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can't make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she'll be home
I want to bring You all that is in my heart
I want to bring You my everything
But I've failed You so many times
How can I stand here before You
When I begin to steal what only belongs to You
I am able to bring You nothing that isn't already Yours
I am so ashamed of what I ever called my own
Take what I have, take these broken remains
What can I give You that You don't already deserve
You laid down Your life when I refused to give mine
[ Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier Lyrics on

Take what I have, take these broken remains
What can I give You that You don't already deserve

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been (tribe)
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been (tribe)
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial
I'm coming home!
I've been gone for far too long!
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Have I fucked things up again?
I'm dreaming
Too much time without you spent!
[Pre-chorus:]
It hurts!
Wounds so sore!
Now I'm torn
Now I'm torn
[Chorus:]
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire!
Hearts burst into fire!
You're not alone
I know I'm far from home!
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Do you wait for me again?
I'm screaming
No more days that I just spent
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Interlude:]
My bed's so cold, so lonely
No arms, just sheets to hold me
Has this world stop turning?
Are we forever to be apart?
(Forever to be apart)
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
I'm coming home
I've been gone for too long!
(I'm coming home)
Do you remember me at all?
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
I'm screaming
I'm dreaming
HEARTS BURST IN TO FIRE [screamed]
I've been gone for far too long!
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Have I fucked things up again?
I'm dreaming
Too much time without you spent!
[Pre-chorus:]
It hurts!
Wounds so sore!
Now I'm torn
Now I'm torn
[Chorus:]
I've been far away
When I see your face
My hearts burst into fire!
Hearts burst into fire!
You're not alone
I know I'm far from home!
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
Do you wait for me again?
I'm screaming
No more days that I just spent
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Interlude:]
My bed's so cold, so lonely
No arms, just sheets to hold me
Has this world stop turning?
Are we forever to be apart?

I'm coming home
I've been gone for too long!

Do you remember me at all?
Do you remember me at all?
I'm leaving
I'm screaming
I'm dreaming
