Flat On The Floor
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for me to be at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Like I need to defend my own innocence
So what I did it, I admit it, I played in defence
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Eight minutes I'm losing it a little bit
Five minutes your description might be startin' to fit
Pretty goin' I'm forgetting all that I've ever known
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl

Not like I need to depend upon anyone
Since I can see the lack of me for being here at all
One more anthem for the know it all
I won't be standing up alone I better learn how to crawl
Learn how to crawl
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Can't stand up alone
Can't say anything at all
In ten minutes I'll be laying out flat on the floor

Do This Anymore
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why is what's best for you
Always the worst thing for me?
When am I gonna learn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause
It's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of hating
When will it be your turn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of waiting

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore

She says I'm only tellin half of it
That's probably cause
It's only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That's when we turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of waiting
When will it be your turn?
Why 'cause I'm tired of hating

No, I don't, I don't, no I don't
No I don't find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won't buy this line you're selling
Tired of this lie you're telling
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore
I don't, I won't
No I won't do this anymore

Someday
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

[Solo]

Believe It Or Not
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Believe it or not everyone
Have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone
Keep most things inside

Believe it or not everyone
Believes in something above
Believe it or not everyone
Needs to feel loved

But we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out!

Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

But you don't, and you won't
Until we figure out!

Seen it a lot and every time
The world turns upside down
Believe it or not most of us
Feel like we're losing ground
Believe it or not everyone
Hated admitting this
Believe it or not most of us
Wanna know why we're here:

But we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out!

Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

Someone deliver us?
Just send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

But you don't, and you won't
Until we figure out!

Most of us have nothing
To complain about
Most of us have things
We could live without
Everyone needs advice
On how to get along

You know we won't
Until we figure out!

Believe it or not everyone:

Believe it or not everyone
Have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone
Keep most things inside

Believe it or not everyone
Believes in something above
Believe it or not everyone
Needs to feel loved

But we don't, and we won't
Until we figure out!

Could someone deliver us?
And send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

Someone deliver us?
and send us some kind of sign
So close to giving up
Cause faith is so hard to find

But you don't, and you won't
Until we figure out!

Feelin' Way Too Damn Good
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me
You must've broke down cuz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here
I just feel like I'm constantly dreaming
But something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

For 48 hours I don't think that we left my hotel room
Should show you the sites cuz I'm sure that I said that I would
We gotta make love just one last time in the shower
Well something's gotta go wrong cos I'm feelin' way too damn good

And it's like...

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

Sometimes life ain't best if left in the memory
It's better kept inside than left for good
Lookin' back each time they tried to tell me
Well something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

And it's like...

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good
Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me
You must've broke down cuz you finally said that you would
But now that you're here,
I just feel that I'm constantly dreaming
Cuz something's gotta go wrong
Cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good

And it's like...

Everytime I turn around
I fall in love and find my heart face down
And where it lands is when it should
This time it's like
The two of us should probably start to fight
Cos something's gotta go wrong
Cos I'm feelin' way too damn good

Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me

Feelin' way too damn good

I missed you so much that I begged here to fly here and see me

Because Of You
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Hands on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away

Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away:

From what you do
Because of you

You know I can be there
It's time that you call
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see
In your eyes
I won't stand around and
I won't watch you die
From what you do
Because of you
What becomes of...

Now that you did this
You ask for forgiveness
Doctor could you be my priest?
You say you're mistaken
But look what you've taken
Your life flashed
You laugh through your teeth

From what you do
Because of you

You know I can be there
It's time that you call
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see
In your eyes
I won't stand around and
I won't watch you die
From what you do
Because of you
What becomes of...

From what you do!

Hands on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away

Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away:

From what you do
Because of you

You know I can be there
It's time that you call
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see
In your eyes
I won't stand around and
I won't watch you die
From what you do
Because of you
What becomes of…

Figured You Out
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Should've Listened
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Why's there clothes all over the floor.
Don't remember them being here before.
Smell of perfume isn't here.
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand.

No pictures left in the hall.
It's plain there's holes in my wall.
Where the hells my credit cards?
Why the hells my wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand.

[Chorus]
Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
in one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Should've seen the look on my face.
My shits all over the place!
Why's this happening to me?
Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
in one ear and out the other
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Ohh, Well I guess I should've listened

There's clothes all over my floor.
I don't remember them being there before.
There are no candles in here.
Lipstick still on my mirror.
And I still don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?

Throw Yourself Away
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Baby's born on the bathroom floor
The mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
When they ask you say it isn't mine

Oooh, you know they're gonna know you lied

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

So keep the way you're feeling out of this
And hide it all until the day you die
The secret's safe at least you thought it was
But you can only keep it for a little while

Oooh, and now you're terrified
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Baby's born on the bathroom floor
Mother prays that it'll never cry
And nothing's wrong you got your prom dress on
And when they ask you say it isn't mine

And damn you for thinkin' we would never know
And damn you for thinkin' we would never mind
Only reason that you'd make it this far
You never asked and but you never try

Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Wash my, hands of this
You notice how God ain't even helping you out
Why the hell don't you throw yourself away
You know they're gonna burn it down

Another Hole In The Head
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


I'm through
thinking of things to say to you
It's true, I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do i
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead

Your turn, you'd rather leave than live and learn
That's why, you want an end and so do I
This time, I'll leave and leave it all behind
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead

I believe that you would leave me for
I believe you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe you would leave me for dead, me for dead

I'm through of thinking of things to say to you
It's true
I've said enough and so have you
Just arrived, you slam the door and so do I
Don't I from all the little things
And they're the reason that I scream

I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
'Cause I need you
Probably as bad as I need another hole in the head
'Cause I need you
Car keys in your hand I believe that you would leave me for dead
I believe you would leave me for dead, me for dead
I believe that you would leave
I believe that you would leave me for

See You At The Show
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Crowds of screaming superstars
When bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on everyone
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been to see you scream to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

After hours of alcohol
Every club, we've seen 'em all
As long as we don't need to stand in line
Proudest scenes and bimbo dreams
The ladies love those limousines
We know we're gonna off every time

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

Crowds of screaming superstars
When bouncers show their battle scars
I've been the first to sign on everyone
Down the road and round the bend
We pray to god it never ends
I've been to see you scream to everyone

We'll see you at the show
If you don't come, we'll never know
You stand off in the back
You still stand out while you're wearing black
Jump onto the bus
And ride around along us
We'll go out on the town
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down
And light it up 'til we burn it down
Burn it down

Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


It's getting late I haven't seen my date
So tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a bar full of winos
And his old lady she don't care
My sisters lookin cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

[CHORUS]
Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

P...P...P...P...Packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a woman to see me right
I could use a little muscle to get what I need
I'll drink a fifth of jack and scream out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
And I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright

Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday night's alright

Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday...
Saturday...Saturday...Saturday night's alrig

Learn The Hard Way
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Put your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Cause she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should
Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way

Yanking Out My...
Band: Nickelback
Album: The Long Road


Feeling fine.
Let's rip out yours instead of mine.
And all you need
Are several ways to watch me bleed.
Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
Just like this.
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
For yanking out my...
Honestly.
You fuck your friends for all your needs.
And stay the course.
No, the universe ain't yours.
Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
Just like this.
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
Even though I ain't coming back now,
I didn't mean to seem as though
I was so ungreatful for for all you've done here.
For yanking out my...
If I could only see this.
If I could have one good reason.
All my feelings out of season.
Am I to thank for yanking out my...
Yanking out my... Yanking out my...
Feeling fine.
Let's rip out yours instead of mine.
And all you need
Are several ways to watch me bleed.
Well, thanks for stopping this beating in my chest.
It's easier now, and I'm happy like this.
