Lyrics
Did you ever see the truth look you in the eye?
Did you ever wonder why your heart believed a lie?
As the sun begins to set on an early summer day,
Do you ever wonder why?things worked out this way?
Did you ever hold your breath when you were scared to breath?
Did you ever tell a lie that you came to believe?
Did your fortune ever prompt you to change the way you live?
Have you ever walk past a begging man ?cause you didn?t wanna give?
Refrain:
Oh man, 'sho you right, I just feel like you do.
Yea, Yea that?s the truth, I feel just like you do.
That?s ok, that?s alright, things ain?t just a simple as wrong and right.
But oh yea, la la la, I feel just like you do.
Did you wake up in a daze never knowing what was real?
Have you ever held back tears ?cause you didn?t want to feel?
And when the moon comes out at night do you ever feel so small?
Do you close your eyes and wonder is there more or is this all?
Have you ever feel like leaving the place you love the most?
Have you ever cried when strangers raise their glasses to a toast?
In the early days we never knew what life had kept in store,
But now I?m asking do you feel all I said before?
(Refrain)...solo
When the party's winding down, are you the last to go?
Do you ever wish that memories faded very slow?
If you had control would you make the good times last?
You?d better stop to taste the sunshine, before it fades out fast.
(Refrain)...vamp
