The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I'm not gonna waste this This opportunity's mine I'm sick of complaining About a beautiful life How did we get here? Did we forget all the things inside? And how do we stay here? Do we embrace all the things denied? I feel so alive tonight You got me feeling sublime I want to yell it from the rooftops down Until it's over, and we're older For my entertainment You tell a whimsical lie To keep me complacent You knock me down with a smile How did we get here? How do we pretend everything's alright? And how do we stay here? Do we erase all the fear inside? I feel so alive tonight You got me feeling sublime I want to yell it from the rooftops down Until it's over, and we're older Like sugar and cyanide These worlds are gonna collide I want to yell it from the rooftops down Until it's over, and we're older So take me, but go slow Let me hide somewhere I know And let this seed grow Until we finally call this home So take me, but go slow Let me hide somewhere I know And let this seed grow Until we finally call this home If I was to die tonight Would it tear you apart? Would you yell it from the rooftops down? Until it's over, and you're older I feel so alive tonight You've got me feeling sublime I want to yell it from the rooftops down Until it's over, and we're older Like sugar and cyanide I want to make it collide I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops down Till it's over, and we're older
