I've been a spoken word

I've been a river bed

I've been a rabid force

And let it flow up from within

The choices that you make affect you for the rest of your life.

Yeah...

You can't control the want

You give, it takes a lot

You got to sleep in your bed

And hope the words will come again

Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white.

Because ooh...

When your best friend's all strung out

You'll do everything you can

'cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down

(When you find it all around)

Yeah you say it's what you need

And hide your eyes when you're close to me

(When you feel up in the clouds)

You ought to know

That I'm here no matter where you want to go

(In your head hanging upside-down)

Well it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start.

I've been a river bed

I've tried to salt the wound

I've carried more than I can

I feel I got a lot to prove

The choices that you make affect you for the rest of you life.

Yeah...

You can't control the want

But you guess what you got

You to sleep in your bed

And hope the words will come again

Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white.

Because ooh...

When your best friend's all strung out

You'll do everything you can

'cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down

(When you find it all around)

Yeah you say it's what you need

And hide your eyes when you're close to me

(When you feel up in the clouds)

You ought to know

That I'm here no matter where you want to go

(In your head hanging upside-down)

Well it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start.
