Pounding
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 can't stand by, see you destroyed
I can't be here and watch you burnin out
lie for a moment and lie as a decoy
It doesn't matter if I give in easy
So why is it so hard to get by? (and I said)
we so down
but it's now or never baby
we don't mind
if this don't last forever
see the light
but it won't last forever
seize the time
cause it's now or never, baby
let's leave at sunrise
let's live by the ocean
I don't mind if we, never come home( at all)
Let's give 'em warnings
to set in motion
in and out of love and institutions
cause I know this can't last for long
we so down
but it's now or never baby
we don't mind
if this don't last forever
see the light
but it won't last forever
seize the time
cause it's now or never, baby
So why, is it so hard to get by?
We so down
and this can't last forever
we don't mind
cause it's now or never, baby
