Living with me I don't think it would be so bad   This is the first time this year that I'm not going to make you mad   I'm tired of my conscious always telling me to stop sleeping in   But I can't waste a second on dreams that will never begin      Everyone has a head upon their shoulders   We're losing our pride as we all get older   Everyone has to pick on their saviors   You might not get it right or you might realize that it's too late      Don't back down   I'm over the past can't you see?   Don't back down   I don't really care about before   Before you met me      Is it cool if I see you tonight?   There's a thousand questions I want to ask you   If you think that it's alright?      Everyone has a head upon their shoulders   We're losing our pride as we all get older   Everyone has to pick on their saviors   You might not get it right or you might realize that it's too late      Don't back down   I'm over the past can't you see?   Don't back down   I don't really care about before   Before you met me      So don't take anything for granted   Stand outside in the rain   An excuse you know I planned it   Every ending ends up the same      Don't back down   I'm over the past can't you see?   Don't back down   I don't really care about before   Before you met me
