Lyrics
you'd compromise your life for her, you'd change all of your dreams, a weemamoowamamoo weemamoowamamoo yay. you'd even give up those dreams for her but why would she want you to not be you if that's who she likes?
you cant imagine life without the one who's captured your heart. and in the past it's always been big hopes, bigger than all the mountains on our cannonball, you're still trying to grow but now you're digging your roots into the soul of another. you cant imagine life without the one who's breaking your heart and we all go into the burning flames of exstacy and triviality and learning how to be the being you wanna be, how did i get this far gone?
so you called a friend to complain about it and i told you i couldnt help a thing, cuz i could never do anything right not when it came to people things, so you said you'd wait it out see if things got any better with time, twenty years from now you'll be waiting it out still and where did your dreams go now they're just memories, you cant imagine life without the one who's breaking your heart and we all...
this is what i'm talking about,
what is he talking about you say
if you need someone, find one with the same dreams
if you need someone,
find one you work well with
if you need someone,
make sure they understand you
if you need someone,
make sure they help you not hinder you,
why am i giving advice?
in the morning you'll wake up to see
the one who's captured your heart
pick up the paper or brushing your teeth
look in the mirror and wonder who you are,
so you come home to see her after a long day
she's there for you, but so are your friends
i am your friend so dont get me wrong
it's been too long since our last revolution
you cant imagine life without...
