Nickelback : The Long Road
Lyrics
1. FLAT ON THE FLOOR
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what, I did it, I admit it, and I'm pleading the 5th
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
Eight minutes from losing it a little bit
Five minutes, your description might be starting to fit
Three to go and I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up for long
I better learn how to crawl
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
I can't stand up at all
Can't see nothing at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
2. DO THIS ANYMORE
Left on an eastbound train, gone first thing this morning
Why's what's best for you, always the worst thing for me?
When am I gonna learn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No, I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Well no, I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
She says I'm only tellin' half of it
That's probably because there's only half worth tellin'
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yellin'
When am I gonna learn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No, I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Well no, I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
She says I'm only tellin' half of it
That's probably because there's only half worth tellin'
And every time I try to laugh it off
That's when you turn around and wind up yellin'
When am I gonna learn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn? Why? 'Cause I'm tired of waiting
No, I don't, no I don't, no I don't
Well no, I don't find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie your telling
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
I won't, I don't, no, I won't do this anymore
3. SOMEDAY
How the hell'd we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
How the hell'd we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right, but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
I know you're wondering when
4. BELIEVE IR OR NOT
Believe it or not, everyone has things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone keeps most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone, believe in something above
Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved
Feel loved
But we don't, and we won't until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign?
So close to giving up
'Cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, and you won't, until we figure out
I've seen it a lot
Every time to the world turns upside down
Believe it or not
Most of us feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not, everyone, hate admitting fear
Believe it or not, most of us wanna know why we're here
Why we're here, but we don't, and we won't until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign?
So close to giving up
'Cause faith is so hard to find
Someone deliver us, just send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
'Cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, and you won't, until we figure out
Most of us have nothing to complain about
Most of us have things we could live without
Everyone need advice on how to get along
Get along; we don't, until we figure out
Believe it or not everyone (Everyone, everyone)
Believe it or not, everyone has things that they hide
Believe it or not, everyone keeps most things inside
Believe it or not, everyone, believe in something above
Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved
Feel loved, but we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out
Could someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign?
So close to giving up
'Cause faith is so hard to find
Someone deliver us and send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
'Cause faith is so hard to find
But you don't, and you won't, until we figure out
You don't, and you won't, until we figure out
5. FEELIN' WAY TOO DAMN GOOD
I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down 'cause you finally said that you would
But now that you're here, I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
'Cause something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
For 48 hours, I don't think that we left my hotel room
Should show you the sights 'cause I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well, something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
'Cause something's gotta go wrong, 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
Sometimes I think best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Looking back each time they tried to tell me
'Cause something's gotta go wrong, 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good, oh
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
'Cause something's gotta go wrong, 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good, oh, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me
You must've broke down 'cause you finally said that you would
But now that you're here, I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
'Cause something's gotta go wrong 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good
And it's like, every time I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down and
Where it lands is where it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
'Cause something's gotta go wrong, 'cause I'm feelin' way too damn good, oh, oh
Feelin' way too damn good
(I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me)
Feelin' way too damn good
(I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me)
6. BECAUSE OF YOU
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
Now that you did this, you ask for forgiveness
Doctor, could you be my priest?
You say you're mistaken, but look what you've taken
You laugh as you lie through your teeth
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
From what you do
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
7. FIGURED YOU OUT
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before? You never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before? You never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
8. SHOULD’VE LISTENED
There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume isn't here
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand
No pictures left in the hall
There's three new holes in my wall
Where the hell's my credit cards? Why's my wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
Should see the look on my face
My shit's all over the place
Why's this happening to me? Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
Oh, now I guess I should've listened
There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
There are no candles in here, lipstick on my mirror
And still I don't understand
Oh, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why must life be so tough?
Oh, well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
9. THROW YOURSELF AWAY
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"
You know they're gonna know you lied
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
So keep the way you're feeling anonymous
And hide it all until the day you die
Your secret's safe, at least you thought it was
You can only keep it for a little while
And now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"
Damn you for thinking we would never know
And damn you for thinking we would never mind
Only reason that you made it this far
You never asked him, but you never tried
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Wash my hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
10. ANOTHER HOLE IN THE HEAD
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
Your turn, you'd rather leave then live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, I'll leave, and leave it all behind
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave
I believe that you would leave me for
11. SEE YOU AT THE SHOW
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and 'round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
After hours and alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Party scenes and billboard dreams
The ladies love those limousines
You know they're gonna show up every time
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they're battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and 'round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of need for me to be here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl

I won't be standing up for long I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor
I can't stand up at all
Can't see nothing at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

(I missed you so much that I begged you to fly and see me)
6. BECAUSE OF YOU
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
Now that you did this, you ask for forgiveness
Doctor, could you be my priest?
You say you're mistaken, but look what you've taken
You laugh as you lie through your teeth
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
From what you do
Hands on the mirror, can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
From what you do, because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come, but I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do, because of you
What you do, what you do
What's become of you?
What you do, what you do
What's become of?
7. FIGURED YOU OUT
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress
And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before? You never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard, just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
(Why not before? You never tried)
(Gone for good, and this is it)
8. SHOULD’VE LISTENED
There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
Smell of perfume isn't here
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand
No pictures left in the hall
There's three new holes in my wall
Where the hell's my credit cards? Why's my wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
Should see the look on my face
My shit's all over the place
Why's this happening to me? Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand
Well, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
Oh, now I guess I should've listened
There's clothes all over the floor
I don't remember them being here before
There are no candles in here, lipstick on my mirror
And still I don't understand
Oh, now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why must life be so tough?
Oh, well now I guess I should've listened
When you said you'd had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
In one ear and out the other, why's love gotta be so tough?
9. THROW YOURSELF AWAY
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"
You know they're gonna know you lied
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
So keep the way you're feeling anonymous
And hide it all until the day you die
Your secret's safe, at least you thought it was
You can only keep it for a little while
And now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Baby's born on a bathroom floor
Her mother prays that it'll never cry
But nothing's wrong, you've got your prom dress on
When they ask you'll say "It isn't mine"
Damn you for thinking we would never know
And damn you for thinking we would never mind
Only reason that you made it this far
You never asked him, but you never tried
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Wash my hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Wash my hands of this
You notice how god ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away?
You know they're gonna burn it down
10. ANOTHER HOLE IN THE HEAD
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
Your turn, you'd rather leave then live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, I'll leave, and leave it all behind
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I'm through, thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just drive, you slam the door and so do I
Tongue tied, from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I needed you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
Was I mean to you?
Car keys in your hand
I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe, you would leave, me for dead, me for dead
I believe, you would leave
I believe that you would leave me for
11. SEE YOU AT THE SHOW
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and 'round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
After hours and alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Party scenes and billboard dreams
The ladies love those limousines
You know they're gonna show up every time
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
Crowds that scream at superstars
Where bouncers show they're battle scars
I've been the first to sign on every wall
Down the road and 'round the bend
We pray to God it never ends
I've been, I've seen, we've screamed to everyone
We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around with all of us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down
Light it up 'til we burn it down, burn it down
