"The Remedy" lyrics
(originally by Jason Mraz)
Well, I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Well, something on the surface, it stings
I said, something on the surface, well, it kinda makes me nervous
To say you don't deserve this and what kind of god would serve this?
We can cure this dirty old disease
'Cause if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say, the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
'Cause it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
Hey
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
Well, I heard two men talking on the radio
In a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
While they were counting down the ways to stab the brother
In the be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss
Where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me
'Cause if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say, the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
'Cause it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
Hey
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
When I fall in love, I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine
And I'll tell you why
Cause the remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say, the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
'Cause it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way, no way
Hey
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way, no
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Well, something on the surface, it stings
I said, something on the surface, well, it kinda makes me nervous
To say you don't deserve this and what kind of god would serve this?
We can cure this dirty old disease
'Cause if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I say, the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
'Cause it all amounts to nothing in the end
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
Hey
I, oh I won't worry my life away, no way
