Howie Day - Sound The Alarm

When the morning came I was up before first light
And your bed was made, must have cut out some time last night
And My heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain
A voice from deep inside said, you got to be insane,
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
So I got in that taxi and drank my conscience away

If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..

I went to your friends house and begged you to open the door
With your hands on your hips you spoke while I sat down on that floor
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink
You don't look so superior when you give your opinion
You think I don't know how you act on your own and
Just who all these names on your cellphone anyway

If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..

[Instrumental]

You're a cool breeze in the setting sun,
New Year's, the 4th.. all wrapped into one,
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to

If you're gonna be there.. be there
If you're gonna stay.. stay tonight
Start livin' out with the old.. I'm on the up..
Must be the good life..

Come on get love
Come on and try (oh no, get treated)
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
(mmm gonna feel it)

Come on get love,
Come on and try (get treated.. beat it)
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
(gonna feel it)

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
