I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world Don't you ever wonder how we survive? From turning into a monster and eating us alive Well now that your gone, the world is ours You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water We started

Whether we like it or not The best I can tell The world’s gone to hell I gotta hundred dollar bill You can keep your pills, friend Well, it’s all going to pot And we’re all gonna miss it a lot All the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee Just couldn't hit the

Forever in my heart Forever we will be And even when I'm gone You'll be here in me And now, while we're here alone And all is said and done Now I can let you know Because of all you've shown I've grown enough to tell you

Lights and shadows We're talkin' lights and shadows So won't you hold me now... One night she came, in from the cold Like a long lost friend, someone to hold She said, don't ask me now Cause what's in a name But when I'm gone you'll never be the same So

The thrill is gone I can see it in your eyes I can hear it in your sighs Feel your touch and realize The nights are cold For love is old Love was grand when love was new Birds were singing, skies were blue Now it don't appeal to you

It's all your fault Because you were perfect You called me beautiful You turned me out And now I can't turn back But I'm running out of air And it's not fair I hold my breath I conjure up the thought of being gone

All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Is a band of gold Now that you've gone And the memories Of what love could be If you were Still here with me You took me from the shelter of a mother I had never known

Then I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong, this ain't a love song If the love that I got for you's gone, if the river I cried ain't that long I cried and I cried, there were nights that I died for you, baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me

A little bit later on When the stars come out And the sun’s long gone We’re gonna drink up a lotta beer a little later on You know out in the country don’t make no plans We’re gonna get on outta here a little later on Rockin' out all night and roll back

We've gone way too fast for way too long Forgot what I was losing my mind about I only wrote this down to make you press rewind And send a message, "I was young and a menace" Young, young, young and a menace And we were never supposed to make it half
