[Intro]
(Check! Check! Brothers and sisters!
Put your hands together because I feel a war coming on!
The devil knows where you live!
And the devil knows where to find me!)
Oh, baby, here comes the sound

[Verse 1]
Took a train outta New Orleans
And they shot me full of ephedrine
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene
Can we settle up the score?

[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday

[Post-Chorus]
(You're beautiful)

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm a total wreck, and almost every day
Like the firing squad or the mess you made
Well, don't I look pretty walking down the street
In the best damn dress I own?
[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say

[Bridge]
Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care (Woah-oh)
Your dreams and your hopeless hair (Woah-oh)
We never wanted it to be this way for all our lives
Do you care at all?

[Chorus]
If you were here, I'd never have a fear
So go on, live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon, show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words could ever say

[Outro]
What'd you call me?
Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy
(Whats that… hey what's that you said?
I want you to say that louder, so I can hear you… fucker)
Well, come on, come on, come on, come on
Yeah
