Howie Day - Be There lyrics

When the morning came I was
Up before first light and your bed was made
Must've cut out sometime last night
My heart beat started pounding out
Rhythm in my brain
A voice from deep inside said
You've got to be insane
Everyone knows how this old story goes
So I got in that taxi
Drank my conscience away

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old
I'm all lit up must be the good life
I went to your friends house and
Begged you to open the door
With your hands on your hips you spoke
While I sat down on that floor
Two dishes in the kitchen sink
The way you treat me when you drink
You don't look so superior when
You give your opinion
Don't think i don't know how
You act on your own
And just who are those names
On your cell phone anyway

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old
I'm all lit up must be the good life

You're a cool breeze on the setting sun
New Year's, The 4th, wrapped into one
You make me want to be someone
That you could look up to

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start livin', out with the old
I'm all lit up must be the good life

Come on get love come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

Come on get love come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
Come on get love come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

Come on get love come on and try
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

When the morning came
I was up before first light
