Lyrics
It's high time to get my life back
Not a minute too soon to get back on track
After the summer of losing control
With you and the party and all that rock' n roll
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be
They all said it wasn't gonna last
Too much for you not enough for me
Unable to let go and forget about the past
Now It's out in the open
So it must be true
You'd better believe it Babe
we are through
But I'm getting there and I'm getting it back
I'll get my life back on track
Never again will I lose sight
Of what matters and why I'm right
Guitar break
Love can be a scary obsession
Leaving you with a black and ugly heart
You were my greatest addiction I said
and kept on walking on this dangerous path
But I'm Getting there, getting it back
I'll get my life back on track
Never again will I lose sight
Of what matters
And why I'm right
But boy what a summer I had
I loved every minute of that crack
All those months of continuous ball
I almost wish it didn't have to end at all...
Well, Now It's out in the open
So it must be true
You'd better believe it babe
we are through
Baby we are through
And I'm getting there and I'm getting back
I'll get my life back on track
Never again will I lose sight
Of what matters and why I'm right
Never again will I lose sight
Of what matters
And why I'm right
