Lyrics

Come Out and Play 1

[verse 1]
Like a noise without a sound, I was thinkin. Like a winner losing ground, I was sinkinnnn.

[chorus]
Don't tell me, come back tomorrow. Don't you know I'm here to stay. Just take the lead and I will follow.
Why don't you come out and play. Why don't you come out and playyyy, playyyy

[verse 2]
Stayed awake while I was sleeping. In my dream she turned my head around. Stopped the bleeding.

[chorus]
So don't tell me, come back tomorrow. Don't you know I'm here to stay. Just take the lead and I will follow.
Why don't you come out and play. Why don't you come out and playyyy, playyyy.

[Bridge]
If you want to be a bear be a grizzly, if you want to be at peace be a dove.
But the way I feel todayyyy, so below, so above.

[verse 3]
She gives her love, I give mine, trapped in freedom. If love had eyes would I be blind, or would I see with them.

[chorus]
Don't tell me, come back tomorrow. Don't you know I'm here to stay. Just take the lead and I will follow.
Why don't you come out and play. Why don't you come out and playyyy, playyyy.
