Odetta, don't you know That you saved this young man's soul? And he can watch you getting wise And you can watch him growing old Along came a morning of another Blindsided by your sweet surprise You were always tryna fill the void, my brother A habit so

I wish you were here with me 'Cause right now Everything is new to me You know I can't fight the feeling And every night I feel it Lights go down, and The night is calling to me, yeah

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

God only knows why we were born to burn He doesn't fucking love us The sons and daughters that you wished to forget A desperate picture of God's regret Are we perfect mistakes? Or almighty fuck ups? One thing's for sure, he doesn't fucking love us

Each night is like a thousand years I can't kid my aching heart 'cos My heart knows we're still apart and Oh-oh since I got these young boy blues Every time I kiss somebody new I Don't know what to do do I'm so lost and lonely Since I lost you Oh make

We could be heroes We could be heroes, me and you We could be Everyday people do do everyday things but I Can't be one of them I know you hear me now, we are a different kind We can do do anything All we're looking for is love and a little light

Heaven knows, heaven knows Look at what we have become Empty hearts that spare no one Save yourself, my darling Kill the love that's dying We're forever changing There's no way to save us Just be gone by morning After all is said and done

In the hearts of men In the arms of mothers In the parts we play to convince others We know what we're doing We're doing it right May have written books on the subject But then you may still be surprised By your tone over the phone To your sister while

Just push play They're gonna bleep it anyway Were comin' at you anyway Were comin at you anyway She gave you a flower The one that God gave her You all up in de kool-aid But u do do not know de flavor Get into the zone baybee

I'm standing in front of you We're broken Everything together trying to be so cool I'm trying to be so cool We're broken people, oh Oh I'm standing in front of you Oh I'm trying to be so cool We're broken people, oh yeah I do do not know why I would go
