Green Day - Strangeland lyrics

If only you were a ship

I'd sail the seven seas

Claiming all the land

In the name of you and me

We'd drift down the coast

In search of our new life

But all we'd find is gold

Just to misdirect our minds

Don't say no

Oh don't burn yourself alive

Won't you take one last breath

And hold on tight

And when the clouds come rolling in

To pour their summer tears

Upon your burning skin

I'll be waiting here

If only I was a star

Sewn into the sky

Hanging from a thread

That keeps you awake at night

And when we would look up

The fog would cover me

Hiding all that we shared

And all that we could be

Don't say no

Oh don't burn yourself alive

Won't you take one last breath

And hold on tight

And when the clouds come rolling in

To pour their summer tears

Upon your burning skin

I'll be waiting here

And I'll be waiting here

And I'll be standing here

Are you listening?

Don't say no

Don't burn yourself alive

Won't you take one last breath

And hold on tight

And when the clouds come rolling in

To pour their summer tears

Upon your burning skin

I'll be waiting here

I'll be waiting here

And I'll be standing here

I hope you're listening

I hope you're listening
