lyrics

and here's for the money i thought i needed,
because now i know i don't need anything
and here's for the thoughts i had in the nighttime,
when i just needed some sleep.

mom and dad,
brother and friend,
this song is for you, this song is for you.
mom and dad,
brother and friend,
this song is for you and me.

and maybe we won't make it out alive
but i'm living right now at this time
and maybe we won't make it out alive
but i'm living right now at this time
and where will i be in ten years?
hopefully i am still singing here,
and around the world where my songs will roam
or will this office desk be my home?

and here's for the people i thought had loved me
you had me flying high but you're also the one's who crashed me
and here's for the sleepless nights
and the background noise on the tv
and here's for the blinding lights
in that car that you drove me around in

and maybe we won't make it out alive
but i'm living right now at this time
and maybe we won't make it out alive
but i'm living right now at this time
and where will i be in ten years?
hopefully i am still singing here,
and around the world where my songs will roam
or will this office desk be my home?
