O-U-TCA-STS OUTCASTS. (x2)
Do I feel justified in leaving this here to die?
Who really got left behind?
Was it you or I? You or I — had to let you go before the poison took its toll, before it made a bigger hole.
You were out of line and now we’re out of time.
Yeah now we’re out of time.
(Chorus)
But as long as I’ve got my two left feet, nothing in the world that can stop the beat.
I’m an outcast, can’t you see?
Chasing my destiny
And as long as I’ve got you next to me, there ain’t nothing that we cannot defeat.
Yeah we’re outlasts, truthfully.
And you’re all that really matters, all that really matters to me.
Paralyzed by memories of our demise, I wear my best disguise to hide from all these prying eyes.
This mystery of how it all came to be will forever puzzle me, but I’ll be fine, I’ll get by someway, someday.
Someway, someday
(Chorus)
Oh everybody’s got nostalgia high, chasing the vibe from another past life
But it feels so right, yeah
But I know in my heart I’ve still got time, and I promise you one day we’re gonna reach the sky.
We’re gonna reach the sky.
(Chorus)

Jackie & Jim
03:33
|

Both of us know this can’t be right
We’re both five drinks in, love, and it’s not even midnight
But Jackie & Jim will justify the ease of the spark that will burst these flames into light
So baby, what’s your hurry?
You don’t have to worry ‘bout these eyes on you,
I’ve only eyes for you
Am I just a mark dancing in the dark?
With my eyes on you, I don’t know what to do
(Chorus)
Cuz I’m too drunk, too drunk to love you
I’m too young, too numb to know any better
Oh, I’m too drunk to love you, but it’s what I’m gonna do
But it’s what I’m gonna do
Both of us know this can’t be right
But you and I are intertwined pretending that we’re lovers while we’re underneath the covers
So baby, what’s your hurry?
You don’t have to worry ‘bout these eyes on you,
I’ve only eyes for you
Am I just a mark dancing in the dark?
With my eyes on you, I don’t know what to do
(Chorus)
But it’s what I’m gonna do
Yeah it’s what I’m gonna do
I can’t stop this from happening tonight
I can’t stop this no, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
I can’t stop this from happening tonight
I can’t stop this, no
(Chorus)
Yeah it’s what I’m gonna do (x2)

Going, Going, Gone!

It was December, we were just out of our teens
Do you remember? ‘Cuz it all seems like a dream to me
Was it meant to happen? Did it even mean anything?
Oh, I know I promised you the moon, that I would always be true
And I can’t take it back, no I can’t take it back
Before December turned to June, I swore that I loved you
But we were never built to last, and now it’s buried in the past
(Chorus)
It was never gonna last
(It was always going, going, gone!)
‘Cuz we both shatter like glass
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh)
It was never going to last, yeah
(It was always going, going, gone!)
‘Cuz we both shatter like glass
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh)
Could we have ever seen what was coming our way?
I still remember the look on your face that day
Was it meant to happen? Did it even mean anything?
If it was meant to happen, then I was always gonna go astray
I was always gonna cause you pain
Oh, I know I promised you the moon, that I would always be true
And I can’t take it back, no I can’t take it back
(Chorus)
Oh, I swear to you what’s done is done
The war is lost, but the battle’s won for me
In spite of everything, I’ll forgive all that you’ve done
If you can promise me you will never come back here
You will never come back here
(Chorus)

Miracle
03:12
|

I’ve been waiting all my life for a miracle
But nothing’s gonna happen on its own
So I’ll keep pushing, keep grinding all day ’till my hands wear down to the bone
‘Cuz nothing’s gonna happen on its own
(Chorus)
‘Cuz that’s just the way, that’s just the way that love goes, time goes
Singin’ that’s just the way, that’s just the way that love goes
And life goes on with or without you, I know you will see this through
And that’s just the way, that’s just the way it goes
Gonna lead with honesty, these words are all I’ll ever be
And it’s always been my dream, and I’m just getting started
So I’ll keep a level head and stay the course until I’m dead
Momma said, “if you give up now, you’ll leave broken hearted”
(Chorus)
Guitar solo
(Chorus)
I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting for a miracle, for a miracle, yeah, yeah
I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting for a miracle, for a miracle

Love is a Fire
03:52

This could be the start of something beautiful
Wont you pull me from the dark and set me afire?
I can still burn brighter
I’m a kite trapped in a hurricane, spinning ‘round in disarray without you, yeah without you
When I’m dancing with my demons you stay with me even when I’m black and blue,
Or torn in two
This could be the start of something beautiful
Wont you pull me from the dark and set me afire?
You can take me higher
In the age of disconnection, I will love you without question
Ooh yeah now I believe that love is a fire
When I’m lost in all my selfish rage, tired of all these senseless games, I’ve got you
Yeah I’ve got you
You’re a welcome complication in the days when my frustrations wear me through
I know it’s true
This could be the start of something beautiful
Wont you pull me from the dark and set me afire?
You can take me higher
This could be the start of something beautiful, unforgettable
Oh you can have my heart and set it on fire
You can take me higher, higher
(Ooh yeah now I believe that love is a fire)
Ooh yeah now I believe that love is a fire, it can take you higher
You’re a welcome complication in the days when my frustrations wear me through
I know it’s true
This could be the start of something beautiful
This could be the start of something beautiful
Wont you pull me from the dark and set me afire?
You can take me higher
In the age of disconnection, I will love you without question
