Megadeth- Have Cool Will Travel

Mamas pack their lunches, kiddies pack their guns
Wishing it will go away, but nothing's getting done
A shot heard 'round the world, when a mother's baby dies
We the people, point our fingers, blame and wonder why

Face it and fight or turn high tail and run
'Til it comes back again just like the rising sun
Say they do all they can, it's just another lie
The answer's plain to see, nobody wants to try

There's no recess and no rules in the school of life
If you listen very closely you'll see what it's like
Have cool, will travel

Tell myself it ain't true, they just cannot see
Grown up or sewn up, the medicine's worse then the disease
I have cool, will travel
Here we go

This song reminds me of my neice. I know, I'm a sappy mother fucker.

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea.
Alo alo sunt eu Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic

Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun sa-ti spun ce simt acum
Alo iubirea mea sunt eu fericirea.

What's any of that mean, man? :shock:



NOTORIOUS B.I.G - SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

*Phone rings*

[Puff Daddy]
Hello? Aw, shit, ni**a. What the fuck time is it, man?
Oh, Goddamn. Ni**a, do you know what time it is?
Aw, shit. What the fuck's goin' on? You alright?
Aw, ni**a. What the fuck is wrong wit' you?

[Notorious B.I.G (Puff Daddy)]
When I die, fuck it, I wanna go to Hell
'Cause I'm a piece of shit - it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit' the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Timbs and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shit
No sleepin' all day, no gettin' my dick licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies, loungin' in paradise
Fuck that shit - I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life I been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
She don't even love me like she did when I was younger
Suckin' on her chest just to stop my fuckin' hunger
I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
My babies' mother's 8 months, her little sister's 2
Who's to blame for both of them? (Naw ni**a, not you)
I swear to God, I just want to slit my wrists and end this bullshit
Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
And squeeze until the bed's completely red
I'm glad I'm dead - a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The stress is buildin' up
I can't...I can't believe suicide's on my fuckin' mind
I want to leave - I swear to God, I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
Naw, you wouldn't understand (Ni**a, talk to me, please)
You see, it's kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
Should I die on the train track like Remo in Beatstreet?
People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me, but she glad I'm gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin' goin' on
I reach my peak, I can't speak
Call my ni**a Chic, tell him that my will is weak
I'm sick of ni**as lyin', I'm sick of bitches hawkin'
Matter of fact, I'm sick of talkin'

*Gunshot*

Kilpi

Pahalle Et Käännä Selkää

Saarnamiehet julistaa
Onnellista sanomaa
Pateettista unelmaa
Toiset teknologiaa
Kehottaa sua palvomaan
Sielun sille omistaa

Sen minkä kylvää
Sen myöskin niittää aikanaan
Ei ymmärtää voi maailmaa
Muistatko kun sanottiin
Sä voit luottaa ihmisiin
Mut pahalle et käännä selkää

Uskomaan tai luottamaan
Ei voi käydä tosta vaan
Varomaton aina joutuu,
joutuu katumaan


Irstaat miehet kiimoissaan
Nuoleskelee huuliaan
Vaanien tilaisuuttaan
Poliitikot puvuissaan
Myyvät sulle taivastaan
Kauppaavat silmänlumettaan

Sen minkä kylvää
Sen myöskin niittää aikanaan
Ei ymmärtää voi maailmaa
Muistatko kun sanottiin
Sä voit luottaa ihmisiin
Mut pahalle et käännä selkää

Uskomaan tai luottamaan
Ei voi käydä tosta vaan
Varomaton aina joutuu,
joutuu katumaan

Yep: more.

Radiohead - "Fake Plastic Trees" (although I think this one is more about the actual music then the lyrics, since the lyrics seem to be pretty much nonsensical)

A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time


Metallica - "Disposable Heroes" (told from the perspective of a soldier at war; powerful stuff)

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be, a servant `til I fall

(chorus 1)
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
But he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, greeting Death
He's yours to take away

(chorus 2)
Back to the front!
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front!
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front!
You coward, you servant, you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bear, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

Why, am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
Had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

Back to the front!

MAESTRO feat. PERCEE P - PRAY TO DA EAST

Pray to the East, pray to the East...

Yeah
I got my man in the studio
One of the illest MCs in the world
Rhyme Inspector Percee P
Kick some flavour for '94, baby

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

[ Percee P ]
Your skills lack, while I'm still strapped with real raps
And feel that I should kill wack ni**as that peel caps and that ill crap
Bigger threat than you with your tech when I rip the set
Ni**as get smoked like a cigarette, so hit the deck
Watch ya chin, ni**a; Ho-chi-min when I rock my shit
When it comes to props I get lots of it
I can get Madonna, money, your threats are minor
And bet you find your girl with a wet pajama,
drippin' with my cassette behind her
Got more band trail than your hand's sellin'
Fans scalin', jam railin' like it's Van Halen
Skills scored high on Billboards, I kill frauds
Get real applause, steal broads' hearts at will force
Hate a mark, skills lay a squad and pray to God
Don't say a hard verse worse than a plate of lard
Percee P wanted for first-degree murder
Since you heard it first from me, you worshipped me
Fuckin' threat - you heard nothin' yet
No need for buckin' techs, but rappers to duck in fret or upper-jet
Mastered art, yo; when I flow, somethin' drastic starts
Speed up a bastard's heart, great like Jurassic Park
I cut you up like a sharp machete blade
Swear to God, only card you can pull if it's Medicaid
Done with all this gun shit, fuck who you run with, son split
The only thing you shoot is your dick, and it cums quick

[ Maestro Fresh Wes ]
I'm like a bat outta Hell tonight, ni**as compelled to bite
I swell the mic when I like, fatter than cellulite
I injure ears of engineers, sendin' 'em into cheers
Bringin' my peers into tears - don't interfere
Critics know I pack a wicked blow
I put you in a clinic, so forget it like Riddick Bowe
Ni**a, go to Hell - I flow so well
Find another brother or mother or ho to tell
Or a bro to jeal' - how's my jam gonna sell? Very well
I send you back because you bring the wack
I'm into rap, I interact with empty tracks
Locked in, wack motherfuckers are blockin'
the Top 10 while the black radio jocks spin
The calmer vibe, the modified
I like the harder side; Jeffrey Dahmer tried but died
More words than a hour of Scrabble, I got the power to battle
Skadaddle or get devoured like the Tower of Babel
Adversaries are snotty, some compare me to Gotti
I bury a body, then carry a shotie
The Maestro rips the psycho shit
Brain like a microchip, and I'ma excite you with
the smoother rhythm, sendin' mad crews to prison
Who choose to listen while I use my U-4 missiles
Collectin' the pesos from a stage show
Gettin' fellatio from a h-o - why? Because I say so
My ratio expands as I wreck lands
Makin' def jams like Redman and X-Clan
I'ma nail the genitalia from Australia to Somalia
'Cause I'm smooth, just like a sailor
I damage 'em all, bitches give me casual calls
I'm slammin' and jammin' and rammin' they vaginal walls
Drums are fat over funky tracks
Like Percee, every verse could make your Lung Collapse
I'm extra nice - who's next to slice?
Before you step to mics, ni**a, check with Christ
You better...

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

Pray to the East, pray to the East
Before you fuck around, ni**a, pray to the East

HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS - Ohio Is For Lovers
Album : The Silence In Black And White (2004)


Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.
Put these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up.
You're running now for way too much. (and on and on and on...)
Or you are not gone.

And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.

So cut my wrists and black my eyes. (Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonite and die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.

Spare me just three last words.
"I love you" is all she heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.

One of my current favorite songs. Just started getting into this band. All the songs by them I've heard so far are great.

Enigma - The Gravity of Love

O fortuna
Velut luna
(translation
O fortune
Like the moon )

Turn around and smell what you don’t see
Close your eyes ... it is so clear
Here’s the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in

Don’t think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start

What you need and everything you’ll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you’ll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love

Latin
O fortuna
Velut luna
(translation
O fortune
Like the moon)

--------whispers---------
Woman :
The path of excess leads to
The tower of wisdom

Man :
The path of excess leads to
The tower of wisdom
---------whispers----------

Try to think about it ...
That’s the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, what’s the gravity of love

Latin
O fortuna
Velut luna
(translation
O fortune
Like the moon )

Look around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who’ll guide you to the limits of your choice

But if you’re in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.

Latin
O fortuna
Velut luna
(translation
O fortune
Like the moon )

__________________________


Enigma - Silence Must Be Heard

Look into the others eyes, many frustrations
Read between the lines, no words just vibrations
Don’t ignore hidden desires
Pay attention, you’re playing with fire

Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn, that silence ...
Silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard

People talk too much for what they have to say
Words without a meaning, just fading away

Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn, that silence ...
Silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard

GLASSEATER - Everything Is Beautiful When You Don't Look Down
(Album: Everything Is Beautiful When You Don't Look Down)



our world is a strange place...
escape this mental prison...
encompassed by bright lights "fast life"
giant-like buildings leaving their...
shadows to cover up...
the true way life...
beyond the brainwashed...
right past the walking dead...
underneath the nice view...
there are lies...
should i pretend that i'm blind...
oblivious...
to the hardships going on in this life...
not anymore...
everything's beautiful when you don't look down
awareness brings wholeness
undress this world's outer skin
i'll wake up to reality
and see this world in disbelief
reality in the eyes of the unblind
its life through true observance
let's wake up to reality
and see this world through me
there is so much out there to
see when you read between
thin lines, but most
of the time there's
nothing we can do


Taking Back Sunday - You're So Last Summer
(Album : Tell All Your Friends)


She said, Don't...don't let it go to your head.
Boys like you are a dime a dozen,
Boys like you are a dime a dozen.
She said...You're a touch over-rated.
You're a lush, and I hate it.
But these grass stains on my knees,
They won't mean a thing

[Chorus]
And all I need to know is that I'm something you'll be missin'
Well, maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that far
Maybe I should hate you for this
Never really did ever quite get that..

I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to, I'll do what I got to
The truth...is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt


[Chorus]

Cuz I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last chance you'll get to drop my name
Cuz I'm a wishful thinker with the worst intentions
This'll be the last time you'll get to drop my name

If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
If I'm just bad news, then you're a liar
Maybe I should hate you for this
Maybe I should hate you for this

Even more:

Guns N' Roses - "November Rain"

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this auch a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time... on your own
Do you need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


Radiohead - "How To Disappear Completely"

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here


Tool - "Schism"

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes
Testing our communication
The light that feuled our fire then
Has a burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other
Watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together
Rediscover communication

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed brothers
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit (x8 )

ILL BILL - THE ANATOMY OF A SCHOOL SHOOTING

The anatomy of a school shootin', shotgun under my trenchcoat
Columbiners did it - dead spoke, blood red-soaked
My mind consume the doom as I walk through the school
Fifteen people killed and over fourteen wounded
My name is Eric Harris - I was forever harrased, an outcast
You fuck with us and now me and Dylan is pullin' out gats
I've been wantin' to murder people
Suicide is played out - if you gonna die, take people with you
We've been plannin' this before the kids from Jonesboro did it
And I wanted the world to know when people died why we did it
I even killed myself, but don't feel sorry for me
Feel sorry for your seeds as we spread the diesease
Another bloodbath comin' soon to a school near you
Smalltown killin' spree that's organized by the youth
Fuck the media - them fags be disguisin' the truth,
draggin' my name through the mud when televisin' the news
A bunch of tickin' timebombs, y'all, is more like me
Overflowin' with hate, bullied to get raw like me
They constantly get picked on and shitted on like me
You'd probably get your head blown off by a kid like me
I put my mind to it and what I accomplish's frightenin'
The right thing, no matter what you idiots might think
Check it - I did that shit so idiots might think
This ain't a game - the nerds that you be fuckin' with might flip

It's like this - what's more fun than sliced wrists?
Kill that teacher that you hate, spray twenty-five kids
You'd be famous just like me if you did what I did
This is the anatomy of a school shooting

It's like this - what's more fun than sliced wrists?
Kill that teacher that you hate, spray twenty-five kids
You'd be famous just like me if you did what I did
This is the anatomy of a school shooting

I see dead people - it isn't my fault that they were evil
Fuck a favorite, I hate everybody equal
Bitch, I warned y'all, didn't I?
Now everybody wanna talk shit and cry, askin, 'Why?'
Two geeks picked up guns and turned murderous
All of y'all are beneath me, you don't deserve to live
Two nerdy kids - is that a crime?
Why I gotta be one of the cool kids just to walk by
without bein' tripped, thrown down on the ground and kicked?
Insultin' me for no reason, I was treated like shit
The teachers let it happen
I've even seen some of them teachers laughin'
That's why I had a smile on my face when I started blastin'
I wasn't crazy - all of y'all were sick
I was the nicest person in the world - y'all were dicks
Don't even try to analyze me now - you have no chance
Back then, maybe you could've been my friend

It's like this - what's more fun than sliced wrists?
Kill that teacher that you hate, spray twenty-five kids
You'd be famous just like me if you did what I did
This is the anatomy of a school shooting

John Petrucci wrote:Wait for Sleep
-Kevin Moore

Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon
Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon
She shuts the doors and lights
And lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

She stares at the ceiling
And tries not to think
And pictures the chain
She's been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone

And water can't cover her memory
And ashes can't answer her pain
God give me the power to take breath from a breeze
And call life from a cold metal frame

In with the ashes
Or up with the smoke from the fire
With wings up in heaven
Or here, lying in bed
Palm of her hand to my head
Now and forever curled in my heart
And the heart of the world

Voices
-John Petrucci

'Love, just don't stare'
He used to say to me
every Sunday morning
The spider in the window
The angel in the pool
The old man takes the poison
Now the widow makes the rules

'So speak, I'm right here'
She used to say to me
not a word, not a word
Judas on the ceiling
the Devil in my bed
I guess Easter's never coming
So I'll just wait inside my head

Like a scream but sort of silent
living off my nightmares

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me
'Others steal your thoughts
they're not confined
within your mind.'

Thought disorder
Dream control
Now they read my mind on the radio
But where was the Garden of Eden?

I feel elated
I feel depressed
Sex is death, Death is sex
Says it right here on my Crucifix

Like a scream but sort of silent
living off my nightmares

Voices protecting me
'Good behavior
brings the Savior
to his knees.'
Voices rejecting me
'Others steal your thoughts
they're not confined
to your own mind.'

"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my
suffering, 'cause of my illness.
Only love is worth having, only
love is what matters, loving every
people on equal terms. "
"You've got to know who you're
dealin' with because, like a stranger,
a-heh, just might come in through
here with a gun... and then, what
would you do? (Heh.)"
"Everything is immaterial..."
"'n' you know that reality is immaterial."
"This is not reality..."

I'm kneeling on the floor
staring at the wall
like the spider in the window
I wish that I could speak
Is there fantasy in refuge?
God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

I'm lying here in bed
Swear my skin is inside out
Just another Sunday morning

Seen my diary on the newsstand
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
It's a shame no one is praying
'Cause these voices in my head
keep saying...

'Love, just don't stare.'
'Reveal the Word when you're
supposed to'
Withdrawn and introverted
Infectiously perverted
'Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused
enough to stay.'

Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
Willing to risk Salvation
to escape from isolation

I'm witness to redemption
heard you speak but never listened
Can you rid me of my secrets?
Deliver us from Darkness?

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me
Don't expect your own Messiah
This neverworld which you desire
is only in your mind.

The Silent Man
- John Petrucci

A question well served,
'Is silence like a fever?'
'A voice never heard?'
'Or a message with no receiver?'

Pray they won't ask
Behind the stained glass
There's always one more mask

Has man been a victim
of his woman, of his father?
if he elects not to bother,
will he suffocate their faith?

Desperate to fall
Behind the Great Wall
That separates us all

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
when there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man

If there is balance
tonight He's Awake
If they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man

Sin without deceivers
A God with no believers
I could sail by
on the Winds of Silence
And maybe they won't notice
But this time I think
It'd be better if I swim

When there is reason
Tonight I'm Awake
When there's no answer
Arrive the Silent Man
If there is balance
Tonight he's Awake
But if they have to suffer
There lies the Silent Man


Some mighty fine lyrics their John, some quality songs.

Jessica Simpson - Be

Lately I find I'm caught up in these thoughts
How will you come to me
How will we connect these hearts
Are you somewhere near
Hidden like a four-leaf clover
Are you miles away
Are we getting any closer
Are we getting any closer

I already see us moving mountains
I already see us walking water
I already see the clouds we're flying
Over and under
I already see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be

I already see us moving mountains
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be
I already see us walking water
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be

Being with you
Is a like a scene from a dream in heaven
I feel you running through
All my senses
Will you taste like rain
Can I breathe you like air
Will I lose myself in your arms somewhere

I already see us moving mountains
I already see us walking water
I already see the clouds we're flying
Over and under
I can really see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be
I think that's just the way it's gonna be

And I know and I know and I know
Love can move a mountain
And I know and I know
It's gonna be even better than I imagined
Putting all my trust in you
Putting all my trust in you
We'll make this dream come true

I can really see us having babies
Walking through the park and being lazy
I already see myself falling in love eternally
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be
And I think that's just the way it's gonna be

I already see us moving mountains
The way it's gonna be
I already see us walking water
The way it's gonna be
I can really see us having babies
The way it's gonna be
I already see myself falling in love
Meant to be
I already see us moving mountains
The way it's gonna be
I already see us walking water
To me
The way it's gonna be
I can really see us having babies
The way it's gonna be
