Mountains crumble, and they fall
Trees tumble no matter how tall,
From East Los Angeles to the Garden State Parkway
I'm getting dressed in the moonlight now
Got my jacket on, and I'm heading out
If I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna lose you the hard way
If I'm gonna lose you, I'm gonna lose you the hard way
And if my words get fumbled,
Well this is what I meant to say:
You could make a good case out of my mistakes,
You'd be right to write me out,
But don't give up, don't give up on me now
If you need to throw a stone, you can throw a stone
If you want to call me names, make yourself at home
Don't give up, don't give up on me now
And you can kiss me once and I'll be satisfied,
Kiss me once, baby, kiss me twice
Might as well take you for all I can take you for
Make me a movie, make it a cliche,
Something's are supposed to be that way
I want to shake and rattle you right down to your core
I want to burn through the streets right up to your front door
You could make a good case out of my mistakes,
You'd be right to write me out,
But don't give up, don't give up on me now
If you need to throw a stone, you can throw a stone
If you want to call me names, make yourself at home
Don't give up, you can't give up on me now
Mountains crumble, and they fall
Trees tumble no matter how tall,
And anything real can sometimes hit the ground
Now there's no way your walls can keep from coming down
So you can make a good case out of my mistakes,
You'd be right to write me out,
But don't give up, don't give up on me now
If you need to throw a stone, you can throw a stone
If you want to call me names, make yourself at home
But don't give up, you can't give up on me now
Don't give up, don't give up on me now
