The All‐American Rejects - Gonzo Lyrics

I'll never forget when we started out
The beat of the drum
A face in the crowd
It's better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come, now not a soul can change
Remember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
It's better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life, it was our turn to play
It's time, only when you look forward can you see behind
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride

Every trial and every test
We'd drive to the east and we'd fly to the west
Just running away, just running away
We can't be different cause they're all the same
Every night that we'd ever start, and every beat of every heart
Is running away, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
It's time, only when you look forward could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Day after day in the light
We're glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time

Day after day in the light
We're glowing in the dark
Standing was the sketch
Where falling wasn't hard
We lost ourselves to find our somewhere down the line this time
For some it's a god, for me it's a fact
We'd make a mistake and try to take 'em all back
It's better this way, it's better this way
Out of the grind and then into the grave
It's time, it's time, only when you look forward could you see behind
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Holding onto the moment we let go of life
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
