about

Some people act like you're crazy to expect too much out of life. Living life with regrets always seemed way crazier to me. But if you expect a lot out of life, it will expect a lot out of you in return.

lyrics

C’MON WORLD
 
Dirt underneath my fingernails
Grease in my hair
My body old and frail
I look a wreck, I feel a mess
And I’d look in the mirror
If I weren’t scared to death
 
Trouble goes on day by day
She always says she loves me
But she never stays
If I had a penny for every heartbreak
I’d buy myself a new heart
To take mine’s place
 
Chorus:
Trouble be gone and trouble be damned
I’m just down tonight, I ain’t ashamed of my self
I just want a love that’ll last awhile
And enough good times to prove how I felt
Somebody tell me if I’m crazy or not
C’mon world, is this all you got?
 
So you get on with your life
Drive down that road
Pay your dues and be on time
But on the other side
There’s a grave dug for ya
Do you live till then or just wait to die
 
Chorus
 
I’m not asking for the stars up above
I’m not asking you to lasso the moon my love
Stitch up these scars and try and keep my spirits high
And give your best damn shot cause I’ll give mine
 
Chorus
