Bright cold silver moon Tonight alone in my room You were here just yesterday Slight turn of the head Eyes down when you said I guess I need my life to change Seems like something's just aren't the same What could I say? I need a little more luck than a little bit Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit And every time that I try I get tongue tied I'll need a little good luck to get me by I need a little more help than a little bit Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied I need a little good luck to get me by this time I stare up at the stars I wonder just where you are You feel a million miles away (I wonder just where you are) Was it something I said? Or something I never did? Or was I always in the way? Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay? I need a little more luck than a little bit Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit And every time that I try I get tongue tied I need a little good luck to get me by I need a little more help than a little bit Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied I need a little good luck to get me by this time I know it feels like the end Don't want to be here again And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again What it takes I don't care We're gonna make it I swear And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again Again I need a little more luck than a little bit Cause every time I get stuck the words won't fit But every time that I try I get tongue tied I need a little good luck to get me by I need a little more help than a little bit Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet Cause every time that I try I get tongue tied I need a little good luck to get me by this time I know it feels like the end Don't want to be here again And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again What it takes I don't care We're gonna make it I swear And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
