Don't Bring Me Down 04:04
lyrics
buy track
One two three four She hit me like a ton of bricks I can't wait until my next fix I feel the tremors coming on This always happens when she's gone My tolerance is building up Need more and more to fill my cup She's got me hooked more or less She's my addiction I confess Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down I need your loving now Hey yeah You've got me feeling so damn high Don't wanna quit and I won't try True my obsession won't collapse I'm always welcome to relapse I feel the craving once again Will this sensation ever end I'm fringing on insanity So please don't stop enabling me Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down I need your loving now Hey yeah But what goes up will someday land A simple truth I understand Something stronger I will need Cause I'll come down eventually Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down Don't bring me down don't bring me down I need your loving now Hey yeah

I'm gonna live it like it's my first time I got no worries and I'm feeling fine Who needs rhythm when you got a rhyme so Won't you be my partner in crime Said two wrongs will make a right yeah That's what she said when I left last night Out of my mind I was outta sight I said I would't but I think I might and I know I will Try if you can to stop me still And I'm feeling strong You think that you got me But I'm already gone I'm already gone I'm gonna kill it like it's my first crime Focus forward cause you can't rewind Stop looking and you just might find an Angle where our minds align You'll never make everything alright yeah Don't lose the war just to win the fight I'm feeling so high that I might take flight I said I wouldn't but I think I might and I know I will Try if you can to stop me still And I'm feeling strong You think that you got me But I'm already gone I'm already gone Already gone yeah yeah yeah yeah And I know I will Try if you can to stop me still And I'm feeling strong You think that you got me But I'm already gone I'm already gone I'm already gone I'm already gone I'm already gone

Don't lie to me This wasn't a decision made on a Saturday afternoon That's okay Took me just as long to forget about you And I know that from the beginning for me Was all about the music yeah the music Caught me by surprise You know I'm gonna find something else that makes me smile makes me smile makes me smile Cause I am still breathing yeah Cause I am still breathing yeah Yeah yeah Don't cry to me You made your bed so why don't you just lie in it all alone It's what you wanted isn't it Or was that all for show And I know that from the beginning for me Was all about the music yeah the music Caught me by surprise You know I'm gonna find something else that makes me smile makes me smile makes me smile Cause I am still breathing yeah Cause I am still breathing yeah Yeah yeah It's getting hard To respirate It's in the air Asphyxiate Clearing my lungs Not meant to stay You can't take my breath away Cause I am still breathing yeah Cause I am still breathing yeah Cause I am am still breathing breathing breathing Cause I am am still breathing breathing breathing breathing Ah huh Still Breathing ah huh Still Breathing ah huh Still Breathing ah huh Still Breathing

Hey you What you doin' round here I thought I told you oh Won't cha pull up a chair The feel of the ocean felt um-um good I came ill prepared like you knew I would I thought you should forever And it's no surprise to me Sitting all chill with an ice cold beer In a hotel room with some old friends near Always said I'd never But it's a place I'd like to be Well don't you know It was a wonderful It was a memorable Time I had with you Well don't you know It was a wonderful A memorable Time I had with you Let's do it again soon Hey you What you doin' round here I thought I told you oh Won't cha pull up a chair Playing my guitar on the side of the bed Just spitting out shit that came to my head It's funny how we got here And I'm glad you remember me After everyone said their good good-byes I took the BART to the plane and went up to the skies Sometimes I feel like landing But higher I got to be Well don't you know It was a wonderful It was a memorable Time I had with you Well don't you know It was a wonderful A memorable Time I had with you Let's do it again soon Well don't you know It was a wonderful It was a memorable Time I had with you Well don't you know It was a wonderful A memorable Time I had with you Let's do it again soon Do it again soon

There's a time to love And a time to pray There's a time to stay up all night And sleep all day There's a time to fight And a time to hate There's a time to go for it all And a time to wait Well don't Try and hide Behind your disguise I can still Still see the fire Burning in your eyes Well don't Try and hide Behind I can still Still see the fire Burning in your eyes See it burning Burning in your eyes now Burning in your eyes Burning in your eyes now See it burning burning burning yeah burning burning burning burning burning burning yeah There's a time to dance And a time for grace There's a time to press your luck And a time to save face There's a time to run And a time to stay There's a time to stay up all night And Celebrate Well don't Try and hide Behind your disguise I can still Still see the fire Burning in your eyes Well don't Try and hide Behind I can still Still see the fire Burning in your eyes See it burning Burning in your eyes now Burning in your eyes Burning in your eyes now See it burning burning burning yeah burning burning burning burning burning burning yeah

Passing by the old steel mills Feeling the lake effect wind chills Sliding on my return home Freezing as I adjust to the cold I drank too much Now I'm all fucked up What me gonna do I got the Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Driving in our rusty cars Hanging till four at the bars Elmwood Chippewa Allentown Down in Buffalo with snow on the ground I drank too much Now I'm all fucked up What me gonna do I got the Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Show em how I feel Dreaming of better things Surviving on pizza and wings Everybody's at the square Oh Lord won't you take me back there We drank too much Now we're all fucked up What we gonna do We got the Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Lackawanna blues Let me break this down for ya right here
