Beside the bed Down the aisle Shedding tears The widest smile Start with family Add in some friends One's a beginning And one's an end. It's just 31 days between Heaven and Hell Lift me up from the darkness, pull me from the well And I've been up and down and round on life's carousel It's just 31 days between Heave and Hell Black and white And in between Life if lovely When it ain't busy being mean Enjoy the good times Embrace the bad Cause you can't be happy If you've never been sad It's just 31 days between Heaven and Hell Lift me up from the darkness, pull me from the well And I've been up and down and round on life's carousel It's just 31 days between Heave and Hell All around us The beeps and bells Cause you can't know Heaven If you haven't been through Hell It's just 31 days between Heaven and Hell Lift me up from the darkness, pull me from the well And I've been up and down and round on life's carousel It's just 31 days between Heave and Hell

Hope you didn't really, hope you didn't really believe That this world is just as it seems Look a little closer, look a little harder you'll see Life's not fair, and nothing is free And the grass isn't always greener you'll find Even if you switch sides Only way to beat it, only way to fight it I've found Gotta pick yourself up of the ground Life will beat you down And that's a fact But when life hits you, you've got to hit right back Cause what's said and done doesn't leave much to say When the chips are down Got to go all in Cause you won't get to live life over again Got to take what you can while it's still there to take And time does not care one bit for your plans Not for mouse, not for man Try to keep holding onto that fistful of sand To keep your head out of your hands When the winds are blowing and the snow starts to fall Gotta see the writing on the wall It's about the journey and the struggles within From the Spring to the Winter Life will beat you down And that's a fact But when life hits you, you've got to hit right back Cause what's said and done doesn't leave much to say When the chips are down Got to go all in Cause you won't get to live life over again Got to take what you can while it's still there to take Life will beat you down And that's a fact But when life hits you, you've got to hit right back Cause what's said and done doesn't leave much to say When the chips are down Got to go all in Cause you won't get to live life over again Got to take what you can while it's still there to take

I promise to teach you everything I know I know it's not that much I promise to be there wherever you may go I hope that that's enough Cause you're everything to me And I know it's gonna be The best day of my life when we meet I can't wait to show you all the things I love I hope you like them too But if you don't, that's alright Your choices are up to you But you're everything to me And I know it's gonna be The best day of my life when we meet When we meet

I ran into an old friend just the other day He didn't recognize my smile It hurt at first but then I had to realize we hadn't Seen each other in quite a while So I turned away from the mirror and I got along With my day But still I have to wonder if that man will ever know me for Anything other than just my name Peoples' faces are always changing Line by line Brand new places are worn and faded Over time We never stay the same, we never stay All that stays the same is the same old change I drove right past our old house just the other day It used to be light blue I kept on driving didn't give a second look it's just It's not the same home without you The family livin there is probably laughin, lovin, yellin Every night But still our ghosts will walk those halls for just as long as Those walls are still upright Peoples' faces are always changing Line by line Brand new places are worn and faded Over time We never stay the same, we never stay All that stays the same is the same old change Change is good, change is healthy and it's natural Yeah change is smart That's what they tell me and it might be true but Why does it have to be so damn hard We suck it up and grin and bear it cause we've got to Cause there aint no choice But holding onto memories can be your bit of silence When you've got to cut through all this noise Peoples' faces are always changing Line by line Brand new places are worn and faded Over time We never stay the same, we never stay All that stays the same is the same old change

Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? A ya-ya-ya Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?
