3 Doors Down : Time of My Life

Lyrics


1. TIME OF MY LIFE

Another day in some other place
Could someone please remind me
Where the hell we are
Another night I feel it come to life
How could this go so far
The life I love is the one I lead
It gets crazy but that's fine by me

'Cause I don't see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there's no other way
'Cause I’m having the time of my life

The words you sing bring back memories
Of so many days that have gone
I look back and smile at those forgotten miles
And laugh at all that went wrong
What I am is what I want
And I’ll be this way 'til I’m dead and gone

'Cause I don't see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there's no other way
'Cause I’m having the time of my life

For me that's all I need
To live the way, to live the way I please

The life I love is the one I lead
It gets crazy but that's fine by me

'Cause I don't see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there's no other way
'Cause I’m havin' the time of my life

There's some things that I can't make right
And it's been so long lord since I’ve been home
But I’m having the time of my life


2. WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG

So far away from knowing where I am going
I am trying hard to find out who I am
They all say that I don't know what I am doing
I say they don't hardly understand

Why can't they remember
What I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young

Everything seems perfect
Everything's OK
It will all get better now
At least that's what they say
But I don't see it coming

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young

Days never seem longer
They say it's better this way
I hope one day I am stronger than I feel
And I hope that it feels different than today

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
When you're young

Why can't they remember
What I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young


3. ROUND AND ROUND

There's one who takes it all
And there's one who takes the fall
One who never wins
And there's one who stands again
There's one who lives in pain
And there's one who has no shame
There's one to tell the lies
And one to make the alibis

Round and round and round and round we go
Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows

There’s one who makes the rules
And there’s one to play the fool (Always a fool)
One with jealous hands
And there’s one to be the friend (Everybody needs one)
There’s one who wins the fight
And there’s one who sleeps at night
There’s one who will stand tall
But we will all fall

Round and round and round and round we go
Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows
Something's wrong, I feel it in my soul
Round and round and round and round we go

Just to find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out for me…

Just to find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out for me…

Round and round and round and round we go
(To find a way, just to find a way)
Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows
(To find a way, just to find a way)
Something's wrong, I feel it in my soul
(To find a way, just to find a way)
Round and round and round and round we go

Round and round and round and round we go
(Round and round and round and round we go)
Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows
(Where we’re gonna stop nobody knows)
Something's wrong, I feel it in my soul
(Something's wrong, I feel it in my soul)
Round and round and round and round we go
(Round and round and round and round we go)

Just to find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out
To find a way, just to find a way out for me...


4. HEAVEN

I got lost out there in this world
Looking for a brand new way to fall down
It's no surprise that things gotten worse
And I thank god you never let me drown

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
I didn't have to die to go to heaven - I just had to go home

While I was having the time of my life
I think my soul died a little every day
I always called to say I'm sorry
You said it's okay
But you should be through it all - you never walked away

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
I didn't have to die to go to heaven - I just had to go home

Into the arms of my angel
Into the peace I left behind
All I had to do to save my own life
Was to look into your eyes

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I didn't have to let myself get so far gone
I didn't have to make the ones I love feel so alone
I didn't have to die to go to heaven to find my angel

But I didn't have to lie to myself for so long
I just had to go home
I just had to go home
I just had to go home


5. RACE FOR THE SUN

It's gonna rain some days I know
And things are gonna hurt sometimes that's for sure
But I won't get turned around 'cause I keep moving on
I think my mind plays tricks on me
'Cause sometimes what I get ain't what I see
I just turn it upside down and I keep moving on

I'm gonna race for the morning sun
I can't wait for the day that's on it's way
I'm gonna race for the morning sun
And it's gonna shine on me
Oh, it's gonna shine

I'm gonna take everything I want
And won't get lost in what I don't
I just hide it all inside and I keep moving on

I'm gonna race for the morning sun
I can't wait for the day that's on it's way
I‘m gonna race for the morning sun
And it's gonna shine on me

Oh, it's gonna shine a light right down on me
And I swear I’ll find where I wanna be
And I’ll live the day like it's the only one
I'm gonna race for the sun

Shine a light right down on me
And I swear I’ll find where I wanna be
And I’ll live the day like it's the only one
I'm gonna race for the sun

Shine a light right down on me
And I swear I’ll find where I wanna be
And I’ll live the day like it's the only one
I'm gonna race
I'm gonna race for the sun


6. BACK TO ME

I have poured out my heart,
And laid it right here for you,
And I've tried so hard,
That's the best that I can do,
Please understand I am not who I was,

You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.

Tears forget, that's more than I can do,
'Cause they don't wash away,
All the things that we've been through,
I've put behind me my share of the shame,
We could call villains but it's all in vain.

You used to be all that I had,
Now you're just not what I need,
I've got to get over you and I know,
Then I can get back to me.

All of my life I've waited hoping,
Wanting you to see me the way that I am,
But now I know, that I'm not alone
Someone understands

You used to be all that I had
(You used to be all that I had)
Now you're just not what I need,
(Now you're just not what I need)
I've got to get over you and I know (and I know)
Then I can get back to me.

You've got to know that

You used to be all that I had
(You used to be all that I had)
Now you're just not what I need,
(Now you're just not what I need)
I've got to get over you and I know (and I know)
Then I can get back to me.

Then I can get back to me,
(Then I can get back to me)
Then I can get back to me


7. EVERY TIME YOU GO

I savor every minute that you’re here
That you’re here with me
Close my eyes and remember every breath
Every memory

Through all these sleepless nights alone
I still feel you
Across these miles away from home
That I’ll never get used to

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every, every
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you
Every time you go

I count the days until you’re back again
Back here by my side
When you’re apart it feels like, something in me
Something in me dies

I hear your voice over the phone
And God I miss you
Still all these miles away from home
That I’ll never get used to

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every, every
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you

Oh I’m there with you in your heart
No matter how far apart we are,
When you’re with me, everywhere you go

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go
I feel it in my soul

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every, every
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you

Every time you go


8. WHAT'S LEFT

A few pictures, two tickets, from a trip we took last year,
A handful of memories, some still seem clear,
A few regrets, a couple of melodies, that remind me of you,
I could say that I won't miss this, but that wouldn't be the truth,
There's no one here to blame, and this is the only way,
There's nothing left for us, to say

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do,
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew,
There's nothing left to say, there's nothing left to prove,
And now it's time to turn and walk away from,
What's left of me and you,
What's left of me and you

Box of letters, that old t-shirt, still brings me back to you,
A few more hours in the day, not sure what I should do,
There's no one here to blame, and this is the only way,
There's nothing left for us to say

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do,
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew,
There's nothing left to say, there's nothing left to prove,
And now it's time to turn and walk away from,
What's left of me and you

You were the best thing I'll ever give up,
And it's hard to see the truth,
When you think you're still in love,
The only way to get on with my life,
Is to say goodbye, so goodbye

It's time to let you go, it's what we have to do,
It's time to give this up, I think that we both knew,
There's nothing left to say and nothing left to prove,
And now it's time to turn and walk away from,
What's left of me and you,
What's left of me and you

A few pictures, two tickets,
From a trip we took last year,
A handful of memories,
Some still seem clear.


9. ON THE RUN

Heavy eyes heavier skin
Can't describe this place that I’m in
Don't look down don't look back
Can't lose hope can't lose track
Reach inside pull out the cold
'Cause I get tired and that gets old
I'm not scared my head's on straight
It's right here and I can't wait

Yesterday so far away
Tomorrow so far to go
I can't stay no time for fun
The long road waits
And I’m on the run
I’m on the run

Last in line first to the red
Distant light somewhere ahead
All alone caught in between
The world gets cold and I get mean
The world wakes up the light's so strong
The daylight fades it won't be long
The night gets dark and I get wild
I can't help it that's my style

Yesterday so far away
Tomorrow so far to go
I can't stay no time for fun
The long road waits
And I’m on the run

Yesterday so far away
Tomorrow so far to go
I can't stay no time for fun
The long road waits
And I’m on the run

Yesterday so far away
Tomorrow so far to go
I can't stay no time for fun
The long road waits
And I’m on the run

I’m on the run
I’m on the run


10. SHE IS LOVE

She walks through the city
No one recognizes her face
They don't want her pity
No one ever mentions her name
She's carried the broken
But their scars have no name in her heart
'Cause she walks in forgiveness
She'll shine like a light in the dark

She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love

She'll always remember
The days when they welcomed her here
They know if they need her
She made a promise to always be here

She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love

When they are weak she will always be strong
Though they don't know it they're never alone
No matter how many times they may leave
It's never hopeless 'cause she still believes

She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love


11. MY WAY

It's the same thing
It's the same thing every time
Your way or nothing
It's a shame that
It's a shame that all this time
Things could have been much better here
Maybe something more defined
More than what you had in mind
More that I could have become

I could spend my whole life hanging
On your words that leave me here in doubt
But I’m so tired of being down and out
I'll do this my way now

You know you've been so wrong
For way too long
And now it shows
It shows that all you've ever wanted
Was to be the one
To put me down for what I’ve done
And no you're not the only one
But you will never be like me

I could spend my whole life hanging
On your words that leave me here in doubt
But I’m so tired of being down and out
I'll do this my way now
I'll do this my way now

With all that you know, tell me who will you hurt
And where will you go, when you get what you deserve

I could spend my whole life hanging
On your words that leave me here in doubt
But I’m so tired of being down and out
I'll do this my way

I could spend my whole life hanging
On your words that leave me here in doubt
But I’m so tired of being down and out
I'll do this my way now
I'll do this my way now
I'll do this my way now
Do this my way now


12- BELIEVER

I would have been in doubt
When this started out
That everything would turn out this way
First it was a phone call
Then it was another
From a mother who was ready to play

She said things that no one ever told me before
But how could I have known that she wanted to settle a score

Then a man came in
I can finally see it
And it looks like you're having fun
But when I get back
You're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
Now I think I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve had enough
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love
(She told me she was in love)
(She told me she was in love)

I knew I could fix it
In just another minute
But I guess it was a minute too late
I knew he was coming
And I should have been running
If he caught me I would never escape

Now I know it never should have been a surprise
But how could I have known that she was only telling me lies

'Cause a man came in
I thought you were leaving
But I see you're still having fun
Now I’m back and you're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
Now I see I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve done enough
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love

Don't blame me
It's not my fault
Don't blame me
I'm not the one

'Cause a man came in
I thought you were leaving
But I see you're still having fun
(Don't blame me)
Now I’m back and you're gonna be bleeding
So I think son you better run
(Don't blame me)
Now I see I should be leaving
'Cause it looks like I’ve done enough
(Don't blame me)
She was a deceiver but I had to believe her
When she told me she was in love

She told me she was in love


13. WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG (Acoustic)

So far away from knowing where I am going
I am trying hard to find out who I am
They all say that I don't know what I am doing
I say they don't hardly understand

Why can't they remember
What I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young

Everything seems perfect
Everything's OK
It will all get better now
At least that's what they say
But I don't see it coming

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young

Days never seem longer
They say it's better this way
I hope one day I am stronger than I feel
And I hope that it feels different than today

You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
When you're young

Why can't they remember
What I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young


14. EVERY TIME YOU GO (Acoustic)

I savor every minute that you’re here
That you’re here with me
Close my eyes and remember every breath
Every memory

Through all these sleepless nights alone
I still feel you
Across these miles away from home
That I’ll never get used to

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every, every
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you
Every time you go

I count the days until you’re back again
Back here by my side
When you’re apart it feels like, something in me
Something in me dies

I hear your voice over the phone
And God I miss you
Still all these miles away from home
That I’ll never get used to

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every, every
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you

Oh I’m there with you in your heart
No matter how far apart we are,
When you’re with me, everywhere you go

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go
I feel it in my soul

Every time you go, you take a part of me
A part of me with you
Every time you go I feel it in my soul
Every time you go, I'm half what I used to be,
When you were in my arms
Every time you go
You take a part of me, a part of me with you

Every time you go


15. THE SILENCE REMAINS

This world asks for so much
Despite what you give it's just never enough
Then you're left cold tired and alone
Searching for something that's already gone
You try not to be afraid
Bound down by all of these things that they say
And you feel like you're all by yourself
But I’ll be right here when there's nothing else

Lay down
Rest here in peace in my arms now
Knowing you're safe
From the storms and the rain
And from all of your pain
And I’ll be here when only the silence remains

Only the silence remains

Your fears they know that you're scared
Wherever you go they seem to meet you there
And you face them all on your own
Never the weak always the strong
And you win most of the time
Never once claiming that victory's mine
And you carry this burden alone
But this candle's burned at both ends for so long

Lay down
Rest here in peace in my arms now
Knowing you're safe
From the storms and the rain
And from all of your pain
And I’ll be here when only the silence remains

Lay down
Lay down
Lay down
Rest here in peace in my arms now
Knowing you're safe
From the storms and the rain
And from all of your pain
And I’ll be here when only the silence remains

Rest here in peace in my arms now
Knowing you're safe
From the storms and the rain
And from all of your pain
And I’ll be here when only the silence remains


16 TRAIN (Demo)

Put me on a train mama
This place just ain't the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today

I don't wanna watch the world spinnin'
I wanna be spinnin' with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'Cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Put me on a train mama
'Cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

And there's a world that's out there waiting
And I know that it's the chance I'm taking
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'Cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

'Cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
