LYRICS
DECIDE (Ackerson)
Take back all the things you said
Say it wasn’t what you meant
Take this tired heart to bed
Either you love me or you don’t
Either you love me or you don’t
Decide
I’m past the point of return
I have only live and learn, and
Let this hopeful candle burn
Either you love me or you don’t
Either you love me or you don’t
How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
Take back all the things you said
Take back all the promises
Put this tired lie to bed
Either you love me or you don’t
Either you love me or you don’t
Either you love me or you don’t
Either you love me or you don’t
Decide
Decide
(Decide) How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
(Decide) How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
(Decide) How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
How can I let you close if I’m afraid of you
THE WIRES (Slankard)
Sometimes I gotta put the whole thing down
There’s a whole lotta noise but not a lot of sound
With everything flashing in my face
Reminding me to work and take my place
I think I might just have to run away for now
This is gonna help you save my life
A little bit of sun and a whole lot of time
This is gonna help you save my life
This is going to help you keep me inspired
What a nice day
Don’t you stay inside
I can see a nature boy somewhere in your eyes
What a nice day
Don’t you stay inside
Don’t you want to help me unplug all of the wires
Sometimes you just gotta throw the TV out
You’ll save a whole lotta money and a lot of brain cells
You know we’re only trying to get by
Everybody wants a piece of everybody’s time
We might go crazy just trying to find ourselves
This is gonna help me save your life
A little bit of love and a whole lotta sunshine
This is gonna help me save your life
A little bit of scenery on the outside
What a nice day (what a nice day)
Don’t you stay inside (don’t you stay inside)
I can see a nature boy somewhere in your eyes
What a nice day (what a nice day)
Don’t you stay inside (don’t you stay inside)
Don’t you want to help me unplug all of the wires
Don’t you stay inside (don’t you stay inside)
Don’t you want to help me unplug all of the wires
Don’t you want to help me unplug all of the wires
Don’t you want to help me unplug all of the wires
