I took the long road, I had my reasons –
Singing the same songs, pr-evoking treason.
I was born with a passion, and I knew my calling –
I've seen dreams lose their dreamers...
I've seen lovers keep falling for love.
Verse:
I was the one with poison, I was the one in trouble -
I was the one who needed, I felt sorry for ones not bleeding.
I felt every bump in the pavement, I have the scares to prove it -
I did not know where you're going -
I just know that I blew you away.
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again...
Verse:
I wish I could cry some days, I wish I could die sometimes -
I've wanted to kill some people, because I knew where they came from.
I carried signs and wore flowers, I stared in the mirror for hours,
I even voted for Jesus, when I was too young to vote so there, and there, and there oh...
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again...
Verse:
I took some wrong roads, I skipped on the highways -
Waving my peace signs, flipped on some days.
I've swallowed my anger, as I choked on my problems,
I've tried helping losers, thank God I'm not lost anymore....
anymore....anymore....
Chorus:
It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain...
I found God there, I learned to swear,
and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again...
have to throw it away, again, and again…
