[00:00.37]La
[00:21.71]I was turning nineteen on a cold December night
[00:26.00]
[00:27.11]Burning like kerosene for nearly half of my life
[00:31.36]
[00:32.30]And I barely had the GPA to make it out of Eugene
[00:36.96]
[00:37.79]You can blame it on me with a ADHD while
[00:40.75]I'm falling asleep during the Sat's
[00:43.45]And as I pack my bags and headed to a foreign land
[00:47.32]One way ticket on a one way plane
[00:49.89]Laying my head down alone each night
[00:52.45]The same devil's calling and that same old fight
[00:54.97]'Cause this one's for middle surfs living in the middle love
[00:58.37]Where they coming from and a halfway rush of blood
[01:00.88]This ones for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending
[01:05.54]For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light
[01:11.01]Looking for just one reason to get through the night
[01:16.43]Every long lost believer caught in the fight
[01:22.26]All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright
[01:27.14]Everybody sing
[01:28.41]La
[01:50.26]
[01:52.09]And I was turning twenty five in a city that don't sleep
[01:56.61]
[01:57.48]Was feeling only half alive to the dreams that I keep
[02:02.11]
[02:03.08]And I kept on waiting only she's waiting for me
[02:07.50]
[02:08.52]You burning down lane on a quarter tank of pain with soles off your feet
[02:12.99]
[02:13.95]And you've been waiting and praying for the right one to come
[02:17.29]Watch the rising and the falling of another setting sun
[02:20.65]Nobody seems quite good enough for you
[02:22.85]Except the wrong one she keep running back to
[02:25.58]So this one's for Mike still waiting for his wife
[02:28.67]This one's for grandma losing the love of her life
[02:31.51]This ones for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending
[02:36.21]For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light
[02:41.60]Looking for just one reason to get through the night
[02:47.05]Every long lost believer caught in the fight
[02:52.93]All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright
[02:57.74]Everybody sing
[02:59.00]La
[03:20.49]
[03:23.70]And this one right here ah this is for the fat girls
[03:28.44]
[03:31.53]This one is a is for the little brothers
[03:34.54]
[03:36.11]This is for the schoolyard wimps for the childhood bullies who tormented them
[03:40.89]
[03:41.88]To the former prom queen and to the milk-crate ball players
[03:45.24]
[03:45.89]For the nighttime cereal eaters and for the retired elderly walmart store front door greeters
[03:51.85]
[03:53.80]Shake the dust
[03:55.18]
[03:56.41]This is for the benches and the people sitting upon
[03:58.69]
[03:59.55]For the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns
[04:02.22]To the men who have to hold down three jobs
[04:04.94]Simply to hold up their children
[04:06.35]For the nighttime schoolers and for the midnight bike riders trying to fly
[04:10.82]
[04:11.96]Shake the dust
[04:13.06]
[04:14.18]This is for the two-year-olds who cannot be understood
[04:16.64]Because they speak half English and half God
[04:18.98]Shake the dust
[04:20.22]For the boys with the beautiful beautiful sisters
[04:23.30]Shake the dust
[04:24.07]For the girls with those brothers who are going crazy
[04:27.58]Those gym class wallflowers and the twelve-year-olds afraid of taking public showers
[04:31.88]For the kid who is always late to class
[04:33.41]And forgets the combination to his lockers
[04:35.73]And the girl who loved somebody else
[04:38.03]Shake the dust
[04:39.10]
[04:40.02]This is for the hard men who want love but know that it won't come
[04:44.53]
[04:45.47]For the one's amendments who not stand up for
[04:48.71]The ones who are forgotten
[04:50.16]For the ones who are told to speak only when you are spoken to
[04:53.66]And then they are never spoken to speak
[04:55.86]Every time you stand so you do not forget yourself
[04:58.91]Do not let one moment go by that doesn't remind you
[05:02.14]That your heart beats hundred thousand times a day
[05:04.69]And that they have gallons of blood making every one is an Oceans
