The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall We count the days scratching lines on the wall Wait in the wings at someone's back and call No longer recognize the place that I call home No longer recognize this face as my own Somewhere this fate, I lost control We backed down, we took no for answers far too long We felt those walls close around I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore I'm listening with one foot out the door And something has to die to be reborn And I don't want to be here anymore On hand and foot we answered every single call Weathered every day like passing storms But when we break we will all be gone Won't back down, won't take no for answers anymore These walls close, we pace back and forth I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore I'm listening with one foot out the door But something has to die to be reborn I don't want to be here anymore The point where we break is closer everyday But where do we go? But where do we go? I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore, I'm listening with one foot out the door But something has to die to be reborn And I don't want to be here anymore Anymore
