i'm just waiting for you to shine   like carolina sunrise   something deep behind your eyes   says 'take my hand, kill those lights   come on, let me show you what love feels like'   but now these gray skies   say they'll never learn to smile   put a hundred thousand miles between the dead and the alive   carolina sunrise      lately even the skies are blue   they scream they don't know what to do   should they laugh or dream of you   or rain because you told them to   thunderclaps are sad goodbyes   and broken hearted lovers cry   who knew that every song ever sung   was about you      now the kids they laugh and dance   they're so in love   so in love with nothing   and girls, they write it down   but give it up   give it up for nothing   baby, that glass ain't near half-full   so tip it up   just drink it down to nothing.      you've got a bad, bad way about you   slip your heart into something small and black   you've got a bad, bad way about you   but every night i'm begging God to send you back   now i've got doubts that i can't count   but i refuse to count me out   you've got a bad way, but i've just got it bad for you      you've got a bad, bad way about you   and i hate what you do to me
