lyrics

Bottle Rocket

there's a shadow hangin' over
always tappin' on your shoulders
whispering the sweetest lies
i'm gonna miss you smilin'
laughin' and a cryin'
i never did say goodbye

it's a mystery to me who gets the keys to the kingdom
and who's hands are shakin'

i wish that tomorrow you could wake up
try again to make it
maybe then you'd stay here
and never have to leave us
i'm just bein' selfish
all in this together
help us when we're helpless and carry this on

it's a bottled up rocket
you're lucky if we stop it now
it takes more than you know
there's no rhyme or a reason
you got caught up in a season
steady like the cold wind blows

it's a mystery to me
while i'm still here and you're not breathin'
cause' i shouldn't be

i wish that tomorrow you could wake up
try again to make it
maybe then you'd stay here
and never have to leave us
i'm just bein' selfish
all in this together
help us when we're helpless and carry this on

on and on
on and on
carry this on
carry this on
carry this on
carry this on
