3 Doors Down

These guys are a brand spankin' new band out of Mississippi. This is their debut album "The Better Life" and it was released on Feb. 8th 2000. Their hit single so far is "Kryptonite."


Kryptonite

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
I watched to world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak, but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Yeah!

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite


Loser

Breathe in right away, nothing seems to fill this place
I need this every time, take your lies get off my case
Some day I will find a love that flows through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me off life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, your holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser , I'm a loser, yeah!

This is getting old, I can't break these chains that I hold
My body's growing cold, there's nothing left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me off life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, your holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser!

You're getting closer, to pushing me off life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, your holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser

You're getting closer, to pushing me off life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, your holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser


Duck And Run

To this world I'm unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it costs so much to live

Tell me why

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away, oh no
I won't turn around

All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I try so d*** hard
I'm trying so hard

This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here, oh no!

I'm already here, down on my knees
I am already here, oh no, I am already here
I must have told you a thousand times
I am not running away

This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here, oh no!

I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
No I pass away

This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here

This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here


Not Enough

Seven days underpaid, gotta give it up
Got no time for this life, that I'm living up
Shackled down, kicked around, now slave to the ground
Need some time for myself

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you
If you don't understand, man you've got to believe
There is too much of you, but not enough of me

There is not enough of me

Same old song, world moves on while I'm still in bed
Meet tommorrow today just to get ahead
Jump the gun on the run
I'm the only one
Who thinks that I'm falling behind?

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you
If you don't understand, man you've got to believe
There is too much of you, but not enough of me
There is not enough of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you
If you don't understand, man you've got to believe
There is too much of you, there is too much of me

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll get up with you
If you don't understand, man you've got to believe
There is too much of you, but not enough of me


Be Like That

He spends his nights in California, watching the stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders, why can't that be me
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
He's left alot of things he'd rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smila at me and says

Now and Dreams we run

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do
What would I do

She spends her days up in the north park, watching the people as they pass
All she wants is just a little piece of this dream, is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,on a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to hold onto, that's all she needs

Yeah!

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do
What would I do

I'm falling into this, in dreams we run away

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do
What would I do

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do
What would I do

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do
What would I do

Falling in
I feel that I'm falling in, to this again


Life Of My Own

Living risky, never scared, wander closer to the edge
Nothing valued, think no fear, always wondering why you're here
All your purposes are gone, nothing's right and nothing's wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, feel no sorrow, feel no pain

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll live on to another d*** day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remember when this was my life

Looking forward, not behind, everybody's got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place, keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by, fear is not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be, now I'm blind and cannot see

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll live on to another d*** day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remember when this was my life

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll live on to another d*** day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remember when this was my life



Better Life

I'm about to be on the floor again
Surely you're gonna find me here
I'm about to sleep until the end of time
Drug I take gonna wake my fear right now

I'm passing away on to the better life
I'm passing away on to the better life

I'm about to see just how far I can fly
Surely you're gonna break my fall
I'm about to run as fast as I can
Head long into that wall this time

I'm passing away on to the better life
I'm passing away on to the better life

On to the better life
On to the better

I'm about to be on the floor again
Surely you're gonna find me here
I'm about to sleep until the end of time
Drug I take gonna wake my fear right now

I'm passing away on to the better life
I'm passing away on to the better

I'm passing away on to the better life
I'm passing away on to the better


Down Poison

I've dreamed about this sixteen days away
Now your here and my head lays
Beside your body, pillowed under mine
You were poison, spinning round my mind

Welcome to my world she said, do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said, separated world she stayed separated
Down poison, down poison

Body withered, body died, time to take away this life

Bad enough to die from one, not to mention four or five
Welcome to my world she said, do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said, separated world she stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down Poison, down

You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you

You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die, You wouldn't die, You wouldn't die, no!

Welcome to my world she said, do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said, separated world she stayed separated
Down poison, down poison
Down Poison, down


By My Side

They blazed a trail I dared to run
They built this world and I have come
I need another, like a brother, for a cryin' shoulder

This could be the last time
You will stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding
Will you fly with me this evening

Sober mind time now is gone
They carved my body not of stone
A petty maze of emptiness
I've said the h*** with all the rest

This could be the last time
You will stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding
Will you fly with me this evening

This could be the last time
You will stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding
Will you fly with me tonight

This could be the last time
You will stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding
Will you fly with me this evening


Smack

Rubber headed motor junkie, run me down and try to stomp me
Throw my life away, and I'll be worthless just like you
Somewhere now a baby's crying, down the road her mother's dying
Shot a line and blew her mind and now she's turning blue

Don't you throw your life away, just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away, cause baby I can feel it
Don't you ever comprimise it, don't you even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, cause baby I can feel it, now

Trip and fall
I'm sure you all can tell me what is on the wall
Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time
Perfect little life you wasted, overdose and that death you tasted
Scared you back into yourself, and now you walk to line.

Don't you throw your life away, just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away, cause baby I can feel it
Don't you ever comprimise it, don't you even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, cause baby I can feel it, now

Life away
Life away
Life away


So I Need You

If you could step into my head, tell me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed, tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie, leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because your holding up my world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk, and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

And if I jumped off the Booklyn Bridge, tell me would you still follow me
And if I made you mad today, tell me would you love me tomorrow? please
Or would you say that you don't care, then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in despair and screamin'

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because your holding up my world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk, and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because your holding up my world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk, and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
