streetlight's #1 song!!


You say you've got the cure
But i don't have a disease
And you say you've got the answers
But i've made no inquiries
And you're failing, you're bailing
Good god motherfucker now i hear you flailing
I see you flailing
That's right i think i do I see you flailing away, away

Oh i know it's hard but so are you
and so am i and we'll pull through together, together and i said
It's been years but still I fear
that someone dear will leave me here forever, for forever and i said
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!

Hey, you've got to keep trying
You've got to keep holding onto what you've got
Cause what you've got it sure ain't a lot,
Hey! everyone's falling down
everyone's holding out for what you've got
But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
and you act like it is but you know that it's not
and even if it was, would you ever give it up?
if i told you what you had was really nothing?
nothing! nothing! yes, it's nothing, nothing at all!

Well you say your life's a bore, and i can't quite disagree
If you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your T.V.
Because they stand so proud, and they talk so loud
and every other word is a lie i've found
That everyone who is anyone is a waste of time,
A waste of time!

I know it's hard and so are you
and so am i and we'll pull through together, togetherand i said
It's been years but still I fear
that someone dear will leave me here forever, for forever and i said
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!

Hey, you've got to keep trying
You've got to keep holding onto what you've got
Cause what you've got it sure ain't a lot
Hey! everyone's falling down
Everyone's holding out for what you've got
But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
And you act like it is but you know that it's not
And even if it was, would you ever give it up?
If i told you what you had was really nothing?
nothing! nothing! Yes, it's nothing! nothing! at all!

Nothing
You won't say nothing
You won't say nothing
And that's just fine

Take me back to that
Day when I went blind
I would like to see
Your face one last time

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
And it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, I know, when it's time to stand alone
and no one understands you

-----------------------

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
Oh it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, Yes I know
When it's time to stand alone and no one understands you

-----------------------

Nothing
You won't say nothing
You won't say nothing
And that's just fine!

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me
And it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
Oh, it's hard, i know when it's time to stand alone
And no one understands you

  • My friends are big Streetlight fans, this is my first time discovering this band. Just listened to "Would you be impressed" and then this song. Any other songs I should listen to?

  • @TheFrickinPope try the albums 'everything went numb' and 'keasbey nights'. those are my favorite ;)

  • Yeah. If your friends don't like Streetlight, you should probably get new friends.

  • @TheFrickinPope Yeah every fucking song..

  • @TheFrickinPope We Will Fall Together

  • everyone who likes streetlight has to go see them live it's so crazy

  • my faV

  • This was the one song off EGN that I never really appreciated as much as the others, and I feel like an idiot for doing so. The end shout chorus is one of my favorite moments of the entire album.

  • Got Everything Goes Numb for Christmas along with Somewhere in the Between!

  • Saw them live in Tallahassee, great concert.

  • @hypnotiqpsycho Well, in the 5 months since I posted that comment, I have bought every Streetlight album they have, as well as every Toh Kay album. I've also seen a Streetlight concert. I've become a Streetlight diehard xD

  • @TheFrickinPope every fuckin' one of 'em. but first listen to catch 22's keasbey nights.

  • @TheFrickinPope

    all of them
