Once in a lifetime It's just right Somehow, it feels like nothing has changed Right now, my heart is beating the same Out loud, someone's calling my name When I close my eyes All the stars align And you are by my side You are by my side

And we're living here in Allentown Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Filling out forms Standing in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends

Well, damn these dreams The first time it felt like fallin' in love Playin' my heart just like a guitar string Chasin' that same old whiskey melody It's hard to look true love in the eye and leave I remember hearin' Hank on the radio I bought a cassette,

Oh my god, that's my baby Caroline, you divine Mighty fine Shawty really blow the pipe (that's true) Holy shit, I'm really lit It's looking like it's 'bout time to fuck it up Caroline, listen up, don't wanna hear About ya horoscope or what the future

I can't fake the daytime Found an entrance to escape into the dark Got false lights for the sun It's an artificial nocturne All that I believe I'm as fucked up as they say An outsider's escape for a broken heart I'm just as fucked up as they say

And all I seem to want Now I'm broken, hoping That you'll glue me up again Waiting here for you Is the warmth Of you leaving me again Each time you leave I can't know when

I'm scared to death when I see them arrive Infected eyes red, staring at me The time has come for retribution Now they're counting my actions The cries and shouts are confusing me Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now And I am facing them, it seems

I've been around the block a time or two Done almost everything a boy can do I've done some livin', yeah I've had fun But there is one thing that I haven't done I want to know how forever feels Big orange ball, sinkin' in the water Toes in the sand,

Just be as you are Be as you are, be as, be as you are But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand And she told me, young man There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are

Come, I'm callin', come Come away, come away, come away, come here So come away, come away, come away, come here And peace of mind is easy to find when the time is right Peace of mind When the time is right (When the time is right) There's no one on the
