You want someo

[Verse]

Honey, it’s no

 secret that w

ith matters of

 the heart, I’

m reserved, I’

m irrational a

nd rarely ever

 start
             
Since the worl

              
d’s dark and o

              
ften inhumane,

            
 we relish our

              
 condition, co

   
me drinking in

 the rain
              
‘Cause you rem

 
ember when, af

ter Paris, we 

all decided th

e best way to 

fight it was

Drink wine, da

nce, heal and 

pray, and make

 love that las

ts with a veng

eance

So you can joi

n the cowards 

all aboard the

 outrage train
              
You can stay a

              
fraid, or slit

              
 the throat of

          
 fear and be b

rave
              
And scratch a 

              
little itch 't

              
il you’re movi

            
ng like a moth

          
erfucker, up i

n this bitch

[Chorus]

You wanted to 

fight for a ca

use? Then go o

ut and fall in

 love

Don’t stop, do

n’t stop belie

ving, In truth

, in grace, an

d in grievance

You want someo

ne to want you

 for who you a

re, I want som

eone to try an

d let me down

easy, easy ton

ight, easy, ea

sy tonight

[Break]
 

[Verse]

So leave me an

d tell me what

 I already kno

w, that I tria

lled and I fai

led and it’s g

ood to let it 

go
             
Sometimes life

              
 sucks, everyt

              
hing is lame, 

            
Not everything

             
’s as easy as 

making lemonad

e
       
And so dismemb

ering our stat

e of balance, 

with lust requ

ited, a gaze u

ndivided
       
With a cool mi

nd, warmth in 

your face, a g

ood heart, gra

ce under press

ure
             
Give me a good

              
 reason to be 

              
heartsick agai

              
n, to be here,

              
 to be strong,

              
 to be oddly a

             
nd boldly estr

anged
              
From a loss of

              
 better years,

            
 I found mysel

              
f descending i

     
nto tedium and

 fear

[Chorus]

You wanted to 

fight for a ca

use? Then go o

ut and fall in

 love

Don’t stop, do

n’t stop belie

ving, In truth

, in grace, an

d in grievance

You want someo

ne to want you

[Bridge]
             
If it’s late, 

            
you’re drunk, 

              
and you want, 


a reason, some

 reason to liv

e
           
I always, I al

             
ways say 'Just

              
 put on some W

            
hitesnake'

[Verse]

Honey, it’s no

 secret that I

’ve been losin

g my way, in t

he weirdest of

 moments and t

he stupidest o

f ways
             
But hey, I’m s

              
till young, it

nd I brought l

emonade
     
I’ll surrender

 then, all my 

balance, and b

It’s not a bad

 time, time sp

ent with you, 

there’s cool l

ights, there's

 songs with go

od lyrics

We never have 

to talk again,

 whatever, up 

to you, but si

Then mosey out
