{Lyrics}
Won't somebody come along
And teach me how to keep it alive?
To survive.

Come along and show me something
That I never knew in your eyes.
Take away the tourniquet.

I used to be so full of my confidence,
I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go.
More than ever I could use a coincidence,
But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know.

Chorus:
Hey, oh yeah, how long?
I guess I ought to walk away,
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?


I don't wanna have to, but I will,
If that's what I'm supposed to do.
We don't wanna set up for the kill,
But that's what I'm about to do.

Let it on, I'll cut you off when you're screaming into the phone.
Hard to own.
Anyway, I wanna let you know that everything is on hold.
What you gonna do to me?

You used to be so warm and affectionate.
All the little things I used to hear my fairy say,
But now you're quick to get into your regret.
I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away.

Chorus

I don't wanna have to, but I will,
If that's what I'm supposed to do.
We don't wanna set up for the kill,
But that's what I'm about to do.
x2

Hey, what would you say if I stayed?
Stayed for a while, if I may.
Say it again and I'll come around,
But not for the last time...
Hey, what would you say if I changed?
I'll change everything but my name.
Play it again and I'll come around,
But not for the last time.

You used to be so warm and affectionate;
I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go.
And now you're quick to get into your regret;
And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know...

Chorus 2:
Hey, oh yeah, how long?
I guess you gotta walk away;
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?..

Hey, oh yeah, how long?
I guess you gotta get away;
Hey, oh yeah, so long...
What you gonna do today?..

  • how do they come up with such random lyrics?

  • @Tarmac118 The lyrics aren't random. He write lyrics about stuff he's experienced. These lyrics are just about the least random lyrics he's wrote. Listen to Stranded if you want to see random. It's really funny though. I have it uploaded.

  • 3:39 one of the most essential rhcp moments <3

  • SYN RHCP ARE THE BEST BAND SINCE BIEBER

  • @Tarmac118 The one thing about RHCP is that their lyrics are to be interpreted uniquely by every person. They mean different things for everyone. For some they console and for others it justifies. It's all about what it means to YOU.

  • Great lyrics and a ridiculously awesome solo equals another great RHCP song

  • @Tarmac118 who kows

  • great song, just damn great.

  • Everytime I have a bad day, I listen to their songs and the feeling is just hard to explain :) And I don't understand how the f*ck can you dislike their songs....

  • you serious? thats really that last any one should say about thier music, take apart the metaphoric language in the lyrics and its like reading a story... R.H.C.P<3

  • Dear RHCP,

    Stop making good music. I'm broke and i've spent my whole summer trying to play guitar like John and have forgotten about my own style of guitar.

    Sincerely Robzbobz
