The Only Ones
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.
You were always alive
The whole wide world in your eyes
Now you're tired, tired, so tired
You were looking to the sky
Looking like you wanted to fly
And you were right, oh, you were right
Oh little baby, oh where did you go?
How did you get down in that deep, dark hole?
How the hell we gonna get out?
Where the hell we gonna go?
Let's make a ride off to the blistering Sun
Let's wake the morning like we already won
Baby, let's fake it like we aren't the only ones
Summertime
Summer never wanted to die
Then the days turned to nights
Now the winters rise
Make you want to break down and cry
So you cry, oh, how you cry
Oh little baby, oh where did you go?
How did you get down in that deep, dark hole?
How the hell we gonna get out?
Where the hell we gonna go?
Let's make a ride off to the blistering Sun
Let's wake the morning like we already won
Baby, let's fake it like we aren't the only ones
What if we turned the other way?
What would we do and what would we say?
Would it all, all be okay?
Oh little baby, oh where did you go?
How did you get down in that deep, dark hole?
How the hell we gonna get out?
Where the hell we gonna go?
Let's make a ride off to the blistering Sun
Let's wake the morning like we already won
Baby, let's fake it like we aren't the only ones
Baby, let's fake it like we aren't the only ones
Baby, let's fake it like we aren't the only ones
