Lyrics
The Shot Heard 'Round the World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to hideaway and only try to save myself
From falling in love, or staying up on the shelf
I was afraid to walk the streets alone, or by your side
Just waiting up for something that could save my life
There's no way out
Stuck inside my head now
Headed for a break down
When I should be headed for the door
'Cause I found out there's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
And I know you can't hide
It's the shot heard 'round the world
Lights out
There's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
But, baby, don't cry
It's the shot heard 'round the world
If we could light up every street with our cellular phones
Then maybe we can save ourselves, or maybe we won't
Well, it doesn't even matter if we got no plan
As long as you're holding on to somebody's hand
Because there's no way out
Stuck inside your head now
But I know we can break out
If we can all just step outside the door
'Cause I found out there's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
And I know you can't hide
It's the shot heard 'round the world
Lights out
There's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
But, baby, don't cry
It's the shot heard 'round the world
I'm gonna kiss the sky tonight
Maybe you should try it
I'm gonna learn to fly tonight
And you're invited
'Cause all the things that we've become
Are making me so fucking numb
And this time I have had enough
Goodbye, and say hello to the end of the world
I found out there's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
And I know you can't hide
It's the shot heard 'round the world
Lights out
There's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
But, baby, don't cry
It's the shot heard 'round the world
Lights out
There's no such thing as
A miracle, a miracle
But, baby, don't cry
It's the shot heard 'round the world
