White knuckle grip, don’t let my feet drag You’re pedaling hard and we can’t stop now Hiding from the cops as we’re racing through the backstreets Better hold on tight, better not look down We’re slurring and we’re weaving and we’re almost at the top Get up! Get up! Get up! And here we go! Your back tire looks like it’s going to explode We’re living while we’re young, oh we’re never getting old We’re going way too fast Gripping half empty bottles Oh better not look down Hot summer nights here on the west coast We’re living loud, we’re living wild You’re wearing hot pink shoes as we’re blowing down Southgate Not flying, just falling with style We’re going way too fast Gripping half empty bottles And we’re halfway home We’re going way too fast Brakes howling at the moon Oh better not look down We’re going way too fast Gripping half empty bottles And we’re halfway home We’re going way too fast Brakes howling at the moon Oh better not look down

Nailing down a windowpane For a gale-force hurricane Cause this rattling wind Is rattling my brain Do I feel an earthquake Or do I just got the shakes? Is it real or fake? The world keeps trying to knock me over Buried in an avalanche Neck-deep in circumstance Cause this driving snow Is leaving no chance Am I in a monsoon? Or am I just a crazy loon? We're gonna find out soon The world keeps trying to knock me over Knock me over now Knock me over now Knock me over The world keeps trying to knock me over Nailing down a windowpane For a gale-force hurricane Cause this rattling wind Is rattling my brain Do I feel an earthquake Or do I just got the shakes? Is it real or fake? The world keeps trying to knock me over Knock me over now Knock me over now Knock me over The world keeps trying The world keeps trying The world keeps trying The world keeps trying to knock me over

The Climb 03:12
The beginning of the path was washed out The stairs were overgrown We should have turned back When rolling hills turned into stones Well we should have seen Where this path would lead There'd be no place to stop And we’d have to find our way back down Hand over hand Scramble and bleed This slow rise Keeps getting steeper Well we should have thought That when we reached the top There’d be no place to stop And we’d have to find our way back down From this peak we can see The next group that's following Back where we began Look how far we’ve come Hey, we should have thought A wrong turn and we’d get lost There’d be no place to stop And we’d have to find our way back down

Tattered and torn Feel this earth Skin is cold On my bones Mind slows Within these walls The tongue whispers As the ash falls I feel nothing And you break my peace Every time you look Into my soul Drain the light As the heart fails As the trees twist And the earth splits I can hear your song From the depths I can feel your touch As the sweat boils I feel nothing And you break my peace Every time you look Into my soul I feel nothing And you break my peace Every time you look Into my soul
