Be There - Howie Day

When the morning came I was up before first light,

And your bed was made, must've cut out sometime last night,

My heart beat started pounding out rhythm in my brain,

A voice from deep inside said you've got to be insane,

Everyone knows how this old story goes,

So I got in that taxi; drank my conscience away,

If you're gonna be there, be there

If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,

Start livin', out with the old, I'm all lit up,

Must be the good life

I went to your friends house and begged you to open the door,

With your hands on your hips you spoke while I sat down on that floor,

Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,

You don't look so superior when you give your opinion,

Don't think i don't know how you act on your own,

And just who are those names on your cell phone anyway,

If you're gonna be there, be there

If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,

Start livin', out with the old, I'm all lit up,

Must be the good life,

You're a cool breeze on the setting sun,

New Year's, The 4th, wrapped into one,

You make me want to be someone that you could look up to,

If you're gonna be there, be there

If you're gonna stay, stay tonight,

Start livin', out with the old, I'm all lit up,

Must be the good life,

Come on get love,

Come on and try,

Come on now, what are you waiting for?

(repeat 4x)
