Long Way Down lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Oh, here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out?
Did they throw you away?
Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me, I'm not there
Almost human, but I'll never be the same
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say
Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to grey
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
On my own
On my own
Burnin' Up lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Said you're burnin' up inside and no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life is pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside and no one cares
Said you had enough this time cuz time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence, while I drew parallels
Life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt me
(Really hurt me)
(Oh, you hurt me)
Try to take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start
Cuz every word that left your lips is like a needle through my heart
And life, it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
Burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(Cuz you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
Naked lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Yeah I'm fadin' and I call out
No one hears me
Never been, never felt, never thought I'd say a word
Weighed down
Safe now
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout
Now I'm wasted
They don't need me, don't want me, don't hear a word I say
Weighed down
Safe now
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
Inside your head
No one's there
And I don't think I'll ever be
And I don't care
You're naked inside your fear
You can't take back all those years
And shots in the dark from empty guns
Are never heard by anyone
Never heard by anyone
By anyone
By anyone
Flat Top lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Flat top intervention
Bringin' home the new invention
See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints
Flip the dial and that's whose side you're on
A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain't never changed a thing
Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen
And assasination plots show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, and who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me
Show it all to me
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile
Impersonality lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
When I was three feet tall
I loved the mall
And lived life for myself
Fallin' down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt
Watching life in Oz Thanksgivin' Eve on Grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout, I'd twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Mama's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping up the coins
A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now, but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never got to know you
Did you ever wonder why?
Now it's nice to know ya
And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of ya
I'd love to tell you all I see
Listen hard to your reality
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me
Name lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
Only One lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
I'll open up my head awhile
Its been dead for years
Must've been a victim of my peers
One is for my happiness
The other for my health
The last is something bigger than myself
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
I'm talkin' to myself again
I'll just start a fight
And nobody can prove me wrong, I'm right
Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse
A thousand other suckers who try and fill your shoes
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
Little pictures in my head, turnin' inside-out again
Cuz fuckin' up takes practice, I feel I'm well rehearsed
Because the past is a bully and the future's even worse
Tell me what you fear cuz I can feel it like a curse
Well, you used to be a folk singer, now you're just a joke singer
Ain't no smokin' dope singer, swingin' from a rope singer
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one
I ain't the only one to say
Somethin' Bad lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Well, they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm old then I would have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lose their common blue?
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Well I see her walking round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah, but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Oh yes, I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
Ain't That Unusual lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cuz I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cuz all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made-for-TV movie
And I just blew my line
Someday you never made it Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared, now
Now what's that supposed to mean?
I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
It's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me
You're everything I want and haven't got
I'm sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind
Someday you never made it
Maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now, ain't that unusual?
So Long lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Don't take much lookin' back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothing's different now, but nothin' seems the same and it's alright
Your optimistic views, your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome, we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
Don't take much lookin' back to know I faked that heart attack then
Nothing's different now, but nothin' seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco Abba boots and
All that showbiz talk, oh we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all
So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
I gotta get back to where I belong
Long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
So long
Oh so long
Oh so long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long
Eyes Wide Open lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Livin' large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinkin' and hangin' around
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
A fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned
I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
I wanna' kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever ever
I get what I want if I make up my mind
I'm turnin' you inside out
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole
I think I'll just kick it all down
I wanna kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
My eyes wide open, I can't see
Eyes wide open, what you mean
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be
Eyes wide open
[fade out]
Disconnected lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
I don't remember
It doesn't ring a bell
And when you call me everything is swell
I tend to forget about the times we had
And now it doesn't matter cuz I feel so sad
I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along, yeah
We've paid the price and now we're both alone
And if you call me, you'll find me home
I've found another, someone to take your place
Now if you don't mind, please get outta of my face
I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothin's come along, yeah
Cuz, I've been disconnected
Someone pulled the plug
Oh, you're so distant
Nothing's come along
Slave Girl lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain
For sixteen years, she's been hangin' around
Tryin' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well, I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours
Don't save me when I startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl, cuz that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me
Go!
Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?
Cuz you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out!
Go!
Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
Just come around and see me if you lose your way
So join my chain gang, play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my tree
