Verse

I met the girl of my dreams

so many times it seems

and she'll be the girl of my dreams

until shes mine, ya see

but then I will get bored of her

pissed off and annoyed of her

thrown away with afterplay

which with no words to see to her

cause things can only get so so good

before they're bad again

and just like everybody else

I want those things I can't have

with the picking and the choosing

in the end, it's me whose loosing

no girl by my side, the story of my life it seems

well things can only get so good before it's bound

to take a turn for the worst, its understood

you cant always be, swinging them hits

and look around at the women, who're begging for attention

but it ain't no intention of yours

to have things fall in right into their places

another stolen glance across a sea of distant faces

the taller they say that you standing

can bring you only closer to the flame

it's bound to burn you again and again

So you've seen the good and the bad

you've seen the happy and sad

you've seen the ups and the downs

you've seen the smiles and the frowns

Cause with every day, the worlds loosing space

but then well, somebody dies, oh and that space gets replaced

Bye-bye to 'baby boomers' and 'tornado typhooners'

come along and spray everybody away again

and is it true what they say 'what goes up must come down'?

young people grow tall, and grow old and grow small

and whoooa-ooo-ooooo

whooooaa-oooo-oooo-aoooo

and whoooa-oooo-ooooooo

whoooaaa-ooo-ooo-ooo-aoooo-aoo-oo

yea
