We've come this far
Don't back out now
Don't let me down
I see the pool is full
And I'm afraid that I'm going to drown
And if something doesn't change soon
Then I have this feeling that I'll be going crazy
I know it's easy saying who you want to be
But until I see that happen, then there is no guarantee
I know you don't want me hurt; you don't want to betray me
The clouds are parting now, the sun is coming out
Your optimism should be burning away any doubt
It's a new narcotic; it could make the world less chaotic
And that's what I am talking about
Don't you stop believing
No, I will believe it
I have made up my mind don't want you left behind
If you have what it takes and don't make a mistake, don't let it all decay.
Hey Hey
Now my sanity is wearing
As I am preparing for the fire to ignite
Don't put out the light
And I know right now you're having trouble holding on
Don't let go, if you'd be happier being gone
Then I know you're just holding me down, you're chaining my freedom
No one can hear you if you don't make any sound
And you'll soon become another rock just laying around
And I know you do not want that, come with me and we'll leave them
The clouds are parting now, the weather's getting hot
You're trying to be someone everyone knows you are not
It's a new sensation, and we'll let it sweep across the nation
And that's what I am talking about
Don't you stop believing
No, I will believe it
I have made up my mind don't want you left behind
If you have what it takes and don't make a mistake, don't let it all decay.
Hey Hey
Now my sanity is wearing
As I am preparing for the fire to ignite
Don't put out the light
And I will do everything that I possibly can do
And I will surrender my progress to show you that I need you if you bleed
Everything that it takes to succeed, I'll show you what we're capable of
Show you what we're capable of
Don't you stop believing
No, I will believe it
I have made up my mind don't want you left behind
If you have what it takes and don't make a mistake, don't let it all decay.
Hey Hey Hey Hey
Now my sanity is wearing
As I am preparing for the fire to ignite
Don't put out the light
Don't put out the light
