The All-american Rejects - Gonzo lyrics

[Verse 1] I’ll never forget when we started out The beat of the drum A face in the crowd It's better this way, it’s better this way How far we’ve come, now not a soul can change Remember the road running under our feet We’d shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees It's better this way, it’s better this way Gambling with life, it was our turn to play It’s time, only when you look forward can you see behind We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride [Verse 2] Every trial and every test We’d drive to the east and we’d fly to the west Just running away, just running away We can’t be different cause they’re all the same Every night that we’d ever start, and every beat of every heart Is running away, just running away Catching our breath at the end we could say It’s time, only when you look forward could you see behind Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime Holding onto the moment we let go of life We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride Day after day in the light We’re glowing in the dark Standing was the sketch Where falling wasn’t hard We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time [Chorus] Day after day in the light We’re glowing in the dark Standing was the sketch Where falling wasn’t hard We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time For some it’s a god, for me it’s a fact We’d make a mistake and try to take em all back It's better this way, it’s better this way Out of the grind and then into the grave It’s time, it’s time, only when you look forward could you see behind Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime Holding onto the moment we let go of life We bought the ticket so we’ll take the ride [x2]
