We were driving down down the road
The top was down the wind was in your hair
Headed for a destination unknown
Searching for tomorrow
Living for Today
We were living for today
Parked the car out in a field
Made our way to the fair
Trading stories as we go
Searching to tomorrow
Living for today
We were living for today
We walked around that whole town
We saw the people that were living there
Met them at the old train depot
Searching for tomorrow
Living for today
We were living for today
Lost in the corn maze a corny affair
Talked until the sun went down
I had to go but you had me stay
Searching for tomorrow
Living for today
We were living for today
Wake up here lying next to you
Basking in the life that we share
Loving you was never hard to do
Searching for tomorrow
Living for today
We were living for today
Loving you was never hard to do
Loving you was never hard to do
Loving you was never hard to do
I saw you there you wore a yellow dress
you met him there in a moment of distress
he called to you he came out of the blue
you came to me you wanted to be free
Out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
You walked alone and talked into the void
You said it all in the silence between your tears
You shared with me (all your darkest fears)
And you told me it cost you years
Out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
(break it down now)
Out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
out from under the rain
You think I am crazy, when I look at you
I think you are angry, cause that's what we do
Running through the sprinklers, trying to keep things cool
Been looking for some answers, feeling like we're fools
Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go
Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul
Turned on the news, to watch the talking heads
The world's gone to hell, yeah nothing makes no sense
The walls are closing in again, it's time to phone a friend
Can't find the door, where I came in
Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go
Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul
They say the air is toxic, that you should not breathe
I find that kind of funny, if you know what I mean
I don't know what time it is, doesn't matter anyway
They took away my purpose, guess I'll drink the day away
Bored with this town again, but there's nowhere else to go
Unpack the car again, it's good for the soul, it's good for the soul
It's good for the soul, it's good for the soul
It's good for the soul, it's good for the soul
I was part of your collection
Hooked into your deception
Shouldda known from inception
That your love was an infection
Should’ve known from the start
You played me like a broken heart
Trapped in your web of obsession
I was just another possession
You took me in with open arms
Distracted me with all your charms
But soon I felt your poison heart
As you pulled me into your dark
Should’ve known from the start
You played me like a broken heart
Trapped in your web of obsession
I was just another possession
Every time I tried to break free
You’d reel me back in with ease
And though I knew it wasn’t right
I always give in without a fight
Should’ve known from the start
You played me like a broken heart
Trapped in your web of obsession
I was just another possession
You played me like a broken heart
A broken heart a broken heart
Shuld’ve known from the start
I was just another possession
I thought that you were the one
But now I see what you've done
You were playing games with me
All along
I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
But you tore them apart
All part of your show
Betrayal comes walking through the door
And I don't think I can take it no more
You had me believing in your lies
But now I see through your disguise
I remember the good times we used to have
But now you're just makin' me sad
I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
But you tore them apart
All part of your show
Betrayal comes walking through the door
And I don't think I can take it no more
You had me believing in your lies
But now I see through your disguise
I don't know what I saw in you
But now I know that it wasn't true
You only wanted to be cruel
You had me wrapped around your finger
You played me for a fool
Then rent my heart in two
You were the one who tore us apart
And now you're done breaking my heart
Betrayal comes walking through the door
And I don't think I can take it no more
You had me believing in your lies
But now I see through your disguise
Betrayal comes walking through the door
And I don't think I can take it no more
Betrayal comes walking through the door
Betrayal comes walking through the door
They called you brave
When they heard the news
They don’t understand
You didn’t get to choose
You didn’t get to choose
You did not get to choose
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t make me be brave
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t want to be brave
They watched you thrive
And they called you brave
They don’t see what you had to trade
What you had to trade
What you had to trade
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t make me be brave
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t want to be brave
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t make me be brave
Don’t feel like I’m brave
Don’t want to be brave
