live a little dream, leave a little mess

Love me now while we're alive,
it's the best that we can do.
we'll have no time upon cloud nine,
so heaven on earth will have to do
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
and I do it all so well...
cause I made a deal with the devil, and when I die,

I'm going straight to hell.

waiting waiting waiting

I have a habit of stealing lyrics. well, actually, lyrics have a habit of stealing my thoughts. but I can't help it if someone else said it better than I can.

you gotta swim, swim for your life.
swim for the music that saves you
when you're not so sure you'll survive.

you gotta swim, swim when it hurts.
the whole world is watching,
you haven't come this far to fall off the earth.

the currents will drag you away from your love
just keep your head above...

I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
a crack in the armour

I swim for brighter days, despite the absense of sun
choking on salt water I'm not giving in, I swim

You gotta swim, and swim in the dark
There's no shame in driftin, feel the tide shifting...
and wait for the spark

Yeah you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon ...I promise you,
it's not as far as you think
