Matchbox Twenty - Parade lyrics
[Matchbox Twenty - Parade lyrics]
When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you
Knew it couldn't last
And all too soon the end was
Gonna come without a warning
And you'd have to just go home
And the way it all went by
And somebody said come on, it's getting late
And you thought the world might end
If you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
And there's so much more that
You could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets
Whispering for you to come back out
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now, not now
And the days are all the same
In a town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all the stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone
And there's so much more that
You could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets
Whispering for you to come back out
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
When the music's over
But the song stays in your head
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
Yeah, well there's so much more that
You need to work out
Yeah, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
When it felt so good you
Knew it couldn't last
And all too soon the end was
Gonna come without a warning
And you'd have to just go home
And the way it all went by
And somebody said come on, it's getting late
And you thought the world might end
If you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
And there's so much more that
You could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets
Whispering for you to come back out
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now, not now
And the days are all the same
In a town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all the stars are just a flicker
And you're left there all alone
And there's so much more that
You could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets
Whispering for you to come back out
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
When the music's over
But the song stays in your head
Oh no, there's so much more
That you need to work out
Oh no, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
Yeah, well there's so much more that
You need to work out
Yeah, and you don't want
That parade to leave you now
