Jimmy Eat World > A Praise Chorus


Are you going to live your life wondering
standing in the back, looking around?
are you going to waste your time thinking
how you've grown up
or how you missed out?
things are never going be the way you want
where's it going to get you acting serious?
things are never going to be quite what you want
even at twenty five you got to start sometime.

I'm on my feet,
i'm on the floor,
i'm good to go.
and all I need is just to hear a song i know.
i wanna always feel like part of this was mine
i wanna fall in love tonight.

Are you going to live your life standing in the back
looking around?
are you going to waste your time
gotta make a move or you'll miss out

Someone is going to ask you what it's all about
stick around nostalgia won't let you down
someone is going to ask you what it's all about
what are you going to have to say for yourself?

I'm on my feet,
i'm on the floor,
i'm good to go.
and all I need is just to hear a song i know.
i wanna always feel like part of this was mine
i wanna fall in love tonight.

Crimson and clover
over and over
crimson and clover
over and over
our house in the
middle of the street
why did we ever meet?
started my rock 'n roll fantasy
don't don't, don't let's start
why did we ever part?
kick start my rock 'n rollin' heart

I'm on my feet
i'm on the floor
i'm good to go
so come on davey, sing me something that i know
i want to always feel like part of this was mine
i want to fall in love tonight
you dont know
i wanna fall in love tonite
you dont know
i wanna always feel like part of this was mine
i wanna fall in love tonight
wanna fall in love tonight
wanna fall in love tonight

I know "crimson and clover" and "our house in the middle of the street" were taken from old songs, but I know there are more. They are all from old songs the band likes.
