Life isn’t always the way it’s supposed to be But nothing lasts the test of time Like you and me So hold on tight my love Hold on for dear life We’re gonna make a left turn honey We’d better make it right So here take the keys babe But don’t you drive to fast Just one chance to leave this place We’d better make it last How it seems so funny Reaching the edge of town How all those dreams and memories Seem so far from us now Look away, look away, look away x3 Sun child, I think it’s time we’re leaving Past the small town bakers Cursing the crack of dawn It means the big mouthed talkers Will come rambling on and on And by the late night drinkers Who finally stumbled home Cursing the worst part of heartbreak Is waking up alone Chorus Remember all those nights my love Sitting out by the dock How it got so quiet just after 3 o’clock I’d steal a glance at you babe And catch you smiling back We’d make plans to leave this place And we might not be coming back Chorus

Hey there my little astronaut Take me somewhere that’s not this hot Wake up and take off There’s no need to wear our clothes in space We’re just gonna float around the place As we tumble threw a black hole And out we come, embraced as one How much time has gone Can we count it down from 5,4,3,2,1 Hey there my little falling star Everyone can see you burning through the dark Come down don’t burn out Lay your head on a bed of dirt Hold me up and tell me what I’m worth Go slow, breath low And out we came, relieved from pain How much time was saved Can we count it down from 5,4,3,2 it’s too late

I started a joke which started the whole world crying But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no I started to cry which started the whole world laughing Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said 'Till I finally died which started the whole world living Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me Oh no that the joke was on me
