Baptized

Daughtry Baptized Lyrics
1.Baptized

It's safe to say I'm lost,
Without you in my arms,
So I call your name and I pray you might,
Come and watch over me like the pale moonlight,
Untill the sun comes back around.

Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
Pull me in untill I see the light,
Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
In your love I wanna be baptized.
Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
I wanna be baptized.

And the days and nights are cold,
Without your body to hold,
So I close my eyes hoping you'll apear,
Cause it feels like grace everytime you're near, yeah,
Don't leave, untill the sun comes back around.

Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
Pull me in untill I see the light,
Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
In your love I wanna be baptized.
Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
I wanna be baptized.

Take me down, take me down by the water,
Pull me in untill I see the light,
Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey,
In your love I wanna be baptized.

Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
Pull me in untill I see the light,
Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey, honey,
In your love I wanna be baptized.

Take me down, take me down by the water, water,
In your love I wanna be baptized,
Let me drown, let me drown, in you honey,
I wanna be baptized.


2.Waiting For Superman

She's watching the taxi driver and pulls away
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
She says 'Yeah he's still coming just a little bit late
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape'.
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name
Like Lois Lane
And she smiles
Oh, the way she smiles

She's talking to angels
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
Falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms
Yeah, in his arms, yeah
Waiting for Superman

She's out on the corner
Trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing's making sense
She's been chasing answers
Sighing, lost in the abyss
This metropolis
She say's 'Yeah, he's still coming just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five & Dime saving the day'.
She says 'If life was a movie then it wouldn't end like this,
Left without a kiss'.
Still she smiles
Oh, the way she smiles.

Yeah

She's talking to angels
She's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms
Yeah, in his arms, yeah

She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and fly them through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Oh, at the speed of light
And she smiles

She's talking to angels
She's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms
Yeah
Oh, in his arms, yeah

She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and fly them through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
She's waiting for Superman


3.Battleships

(Verse)
I'm sinkin inside
And the mass in lines are broken down tonight
I swallow my pride
But we're drowning in the ocean
And it's tearing my heart open baby

We're high then we're low, it's yes then it's no and we're
changing like the tides
But I want you, I need you and I guarantee you we'll make out
alive

(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets comin off our lips
But we stick to our guns and love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes

(Verse)
Bombs fly through the air
And I know that we're both playing not so fair
So show me you care
Got my white flag open, it's waving
'Cause you know this love's worth saving baby

We're high then we're low, it's yes then it's no and we're
changing like the tides
But I want you, I need you and I guarantee you we'll make out
alive

(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets comin off our lips
But we stick to our guns and love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom

And we love, yea love
(Boom boom boom b-boom)
And we love, yea love
(Boom boom boom b-boom)

I'm sinkin inside
can we finally put our weapons down tonight

(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets comin off our lips
But we stick to our guns and love like battleships
Like battleships

(Chorus)
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom boom boom b-boom boom boom
Boom boom boom b-boom
We make love like battleships


4.I'll Fight

(Verse)
I wanna see you run
Anywhere you want
Never let the darkness roll you back
No fear of getting lost

(Verse)
I wanna see you fly
Way beyond the sun
Everything that you're ever gonna dream
I pray that it will come

(Chorus)
But if you ever fall down straight to the bottom
And you can't get back where you started
Every place, every time
You gotta know for you I'll fight

(Verse)
Where you wanna go?
I'd love to take you there
Wish that I could make the road easy
I wish that life was fair

(Verse)
Don't wanna see you cry
Even when it rains
And I hope you don't forget this
You were born for better things

(Chorus)
If you ever fall down straight to the bottom
And you can't get back where you started
With no strength to stand
I'm gonna reach for you
And I'm waitin for you
Get scrubbed right
When it's hurting I will be there to help
Every place, every time
You gotta know for you I'll fight

Every place, every time
You gotta know for you I'll fight

(Bridge)
Anywhere you go
You're gonna find me
No matter what you did
If you ever fall down
And you can't get back
If you lose your strength just say

(Chorus)
If you ever fall down straight to the bottom
And you can't get back where you started
With no strength to stand
I'm gonna reach for you
And I'm waitin for you
Get scrubbed right
When it's hurting I will be there to help
Every place, every time
You gotta know for you I'll fight

Every place, every time
You gotta know for you I'll fight


5.Wild Heart

(Verse)
You used to be the girl that set the world on fire
And they drenched your soul in water but the flames reached
higher
Used to act so tough like you could walk on a wire
And they called you devil's daughter, such a pretty liar
Yea
Yea

(Verse)
You were burning like the summer, crazy like a fox
You hit harder than a drummer, like a wave on the rocks
You could play me like the lotto, you were playing a part
There ain't nobody could tame you and your wild heart
Yea
Yea

(Chorus)
Take me back
To those barefoot summer nights
Take me back
Running down those highway lights
Remember when
We said don't let go to it
Darling take me back
To that fire in your eyes
'Cause I know it ain't gone too far
Take me back to you and to your wild heart
Yea
To your wild heart
Yea

(Verse)
You used to be the girl that could light up a room
And with the flip of a switch I bet you still do
You will leave a trail of danger yea wherever you go
And no matter where it lead me I would follow
Yea
Mm yea

(Verse)
You look beautiful in blue jeans, holes on the knees
You were smoking like a cigarette, I couldn't breathe
Used to rock around the ballroom, dance on the bar
Baby nobody could tame you and your wild heart

(Chorus)
Take me back
To those barefoot summer nights
Take me back
Running down those highway lights
Remember when
We said don't let go to it
Darling take me back
To that fire in your eyes
'Cause I know it ain't gone too far
Take me back to you and to your wild heart
Yea
To your wild heart
Yea

(Bridge)
You used to be the girl that set the world on fire
And they drenched your soul in water but the flames reached
higher
You'll always be the one that keep me crazy inside
And if you got a wild heart don't you let it die

(Chorus)
Take me back
To those barefoot summer nights
Take me back
Running down those highway lights
Remember when
We said don't let go to it
Darling take me back
To that fire in your eyes
'Cause I know it ain't gone too far
Take me back to you and to your wild heart
Yea
To your wild heart
Yea
To your wild heart
To your wild heart
Yea


6.Long Live Rock & Roll

Well I was born
The year that disco died
And U2 was in high school
Thank the Lord that they survived
Got my first taste, on a Seger 45
And since that Kiss I rocked out
All day and partied every night

We still argue about who's better
Elton John or Billy Joel
We still wonder if Kurt really
Wrote the song she sang in Hole
No we'll never stop believing
That's the Journey of our lives
So won't you help me Pour Some Sugar
On these memories tonight?

Sing it
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
Long live rock and roll

Summer of '96, I got my first guitar
I played it till my fingers said
'You're gonna be a star'
Grunge was everything, at least it was to me
A Marshall in my Chevy Sprint
Just winding down a dream

We still argue about who's better
Motley Crew or G&R
We still can't believe Van Halen
Turned into Van Hagar
Now the record shops are gone for good
And no one seems to care
But me and you and all our friends
Keep Living On That Prayer

Sing it
Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
Long live rock and roll

Went to bed in Cleveland
Woke up in Tenessee
No matter where I'll roll tonight
I'm chasing history

We still argue about who's better
The Beatles or The Stones
They're forever 27
Jimmy, Janis, Brian Jones
And we stand here in their memory
'Cause their songs, they still survive
So throw your lighters up
And, darling, sing with me tonight

Come on

Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold
Long live rock and roll

Long live rock
Long live roll
Long live big guitars and music for the soul
Sing it
Don't give up, don't grow old
Long live crazy nights and records made of gold

Long live rock and roll


7.The World We Knew

(Verse)
Another year goes by
Speeding as I drive
Felt like I will live this life I lived forever
I didn't see a change
But I know it's not the same
I'd bring her back if I could
But I know I'm not that clever

(Pre-Chorus)
Well life's so short
And it goes by fast
And we can't get it back

(Chorus)
The world we knew
It was all set for good
Maybe if we knew
Fighting would never end
Oh what I wouldn't do
To get back to
The world we knew

(Verse)
Songs can bring it back
Yea, I remember that
And nothing wrong
The days were long and the sun was warmer

(Pre-Chorus)
Mm life's so short
And it goes by fast
And we'll never get it back

(Chorus)
The world we knew
It was all set for good
Maybe if we knew
Fighting would never end
Oh what I wouldn't do
To get back to
The world we knew

(Bridge)
I remember that, baby you and I
Taking what were given
I remember days standing in the rain
Not for a life, can't leave it
Not a worry, not a care
Everything was different
But you're still here
In the world we knew

It was so simple then
Me and you
It was so simple then

The world we knew
The world we knew
The world we knew


8.High Above The Ground

(Verse)
You and I both, we come from different worlds
I'm a small town kid and you're an uptown girl
We've both been hurt, we got a few scars
But it don't matter now, we're staring at the stars

(Verse)
When it comes to my heart you gotta catch and fall
Deep down in my soul I know that I would die
If I didn't have you how could I ever fly?
100 miles beyond the sky

(Chorus x2)
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we're never coming down
Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?

(Verse)
Remember that day, we knew it from the start
We've come a long way and we're gonna go far
I see the future in your eyes
Forever and always, you and I

(Chorus x2)
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we're never coming down
Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?

(Bridge)
When we're so close to heaven
I'm gonna like this paradise
It's gonna be too hard to say
Goodnight yea

(Chorus x4)
It's feeling like we're high above the ground
It's feeling like we're never coming down
Til we want to
But why would we want to (now)?


9.Broken Arrows

Hey
Show me one man who never make mistakes
Oooo,
And I pay
All of my time and every dime I make
But today

The best of intentions
I lay at your feet
And I need you to see past the worst part of me
I'm tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way

Seems like every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Coming out wrong
So baby hold on
I'm tryin' to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

No
I may not be the same but I've got a heart of gold
Yeah
Oooohh, like a telephone
Connection ain't clear
But hold me in my soul
You gotta know

Yeah
The best of intentions
I lay at your feet
And I need you to see past the worst part of me
And I'm tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way

Seems like every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Coming out wrong
So baby hold on
I'm tryin' to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
Broken arrows

I'm driving it back now
And the target's you
And I dunno what it is I do wrong
And I'm tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way

Seems like every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Coming out wrong
So baby hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
Broken arrows... yeah


10.Witness

(Verse)
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired
Hollowed out and I'm feeling uninspired
The question I keep asking is
What will it take to ease your worried mind?
Your worried mind

(Verse)
Now you're letting your confusion take control
You lead me down a dark and lonely road
Even that won't last forever
Just look around and see you're not alone
You're not alone

(Chorus)
If you ain't found love but you've still not given up
Can I get a witness?
If you died tonight but you still wanna live it up
Can I get a witness?
And if the weight of the world is on you now
But you know you can turn it all around yea
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

(Verse)
You ever feel that you're just waiting time?
Here without a reason, go around
The answer you've been looking for
Is standing right before your weary eyes
Your weary eyes

(Chorus)
If you ain't found love but you've still not given up
Can I get a witness?
If you died tonight but you still wanna live it up
Can I get a witness?
And if the weight of the world is on you now
But you know you can turn it all around yea
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

And if the weight of the world is on you now
But you know you can turn it all around yea

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired

(Chorus)
If you ain't found love but you've still not given up
Can I get a witness?
If you died tonight but you still wanna live it up
Can I get a witness?
And if the weight of the world is on you now
But you know you can turn it all around yea
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

And if the weight of the world is on you now
But you know you can turn it all around yea

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?


11.Traitor

(Verse)
I'm not a criminal
I'm not the villain
Yea, this is personal
A drive-by killing

(Verse)
Your guns are loaded
Lies are the bullets
So here is the trigger
Go ahead, pull it now

(Pre-Chorus)
Are you sure you wanna play this game?
Are you sure you wanna play this?

(Chorus)
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor, a traitor, a traitor
Put the knife right in my back
The history we had
Now it's war, war

(Verse)
We were just like brothers
And we had each other
We were down for the good times
We were there for the trouble

(Verse)
You are a thief and now
Why deny?
You stole all my sanity
Now you are the enemy yea

(Pre-Chorus)
Are you sure you wanna play this game?
Are you sure you wanna play this?

(Chorus)
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor, a traitor, a traitor
Put the knife right in my back
The history we had
Now it's war, war

(Bridge)
I just feel sorry for you
Watching you drown in your denial
But I can't feel sorry for you
Watching you drown in so much pain

(Chorus)
The only thing worse than a hater
The only thing worse than a hater
Is a traitor, a traitor, a traitor
Put the knife right in my back
The history we had
Now it's war, war


12.18 Years

(Verse)
Sit down with an old friend
Like time it never stops
From the cradle to the coffin
We drink until we drop

(Verse)
Yea, we grew up on the same street, small town under the hill
Yea
But dreams get lost and buried down deep inside the sun yea
Yea

(Pre-Chorus x2)
All day, all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day, all night
I remember

(Chorus)
We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run on a dead-end street
But looking back in my rearview mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we laugh and we cry til there's no more tears
Yea tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?
18 years

(Verse)
Somewhere down the highway
Chase away the ghosts
'Cause now we're frozen in the same place
It's time inside their bones

(Verse)
Remember before were TV's I be over fast on to the tracks
Yea
But trains roll on through the small towns and never look back
Yea

(Pre-Chorus x2)
All day, all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day, all night
I remember
All day, all night
Keep pressing rewind
All day, tell me do you remember?

(Chorus)
We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run on a dead-end street
But looking back in my rearview mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we laugh and we cry til there's no more tears
Yea tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?
18 years

(Bridge)
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on? (to those 18 years)
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
18 years
18 years yea eh eh

(Verse)
We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run on a dead-end street
We were building a bridge out of broken dreams
We were crashing like cars and we were 18

(Chorus)
We were young, we were wild
We were halfway free
We were kids on the run on a dead-end street
But looking back in my rearview mirror
You know the view used to be much clearer
But we laugh and we cry til there's no more tears
Yea tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?
18 years

(Bridge)
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
Can we just hold on?
18 years
