    Dunno if I'm allowed to post these here, but if not, don't kill me.
    I'm surprised I was able to whip these up so fast (I am no stenographer/speed typist), but they're accurate. They should be right. Enjoy

    Down, down, down, down
    Down, down, down, down

    Here I am with all these questions
    Hanging from my ceiling low
    One by one they all keep telling me
    'I told you so.'
    Everywhere I turn I see red lights
    Flashing over my head
    Oh no, oh no, oh no (mhhhhm)

    In a whirlwind spinning
    But somehow it knocked me off my feet
    But I know better than to let it get the best of me

    I could give up
    I could stay stuck
    Or I could move on...

    So I put one foot in front of the other
    No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride
    I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting
    Until I make it to the other side of down, down, down

    Oh ohhhhh somethin’ ‘bout love oh oh oh ohhhhh somethin’ bout love oh oh

    Every night, it’s all the same.
    You’re frozen by the phone, you wait, something’s changed.
    You blame yourself every day, you do it again (you do it again)…..every night

    There’s somethin’ ‘bout love that breaks your heart (whoa oh oh oh )
    it sets you free,
    There’s somethin’ ‘bout love that tears you up (whoa oh oh oh )
    you still believe.
    When the world falls down like rain, it’ll bring you to your knees.
    There’s somethin’ ‘bout love that breaks your heart (whoa oh oh oh )
    but don’t give up.
    There’s something bout love

    When you were young, scared in the night,
    waiting for love to come along and make it right.
    Your day will come, the past is gone so take your time,
    live and let live.

    Mmm, mm
    Whoa oh oh oh
    I had a dream last night
    I didn’t know which floor to get off on, yeah yeah
    The doors they opened on the 4, and 5, and 6
    and you were gone, all gone
    I didn’t understand, I didn’t want to know
    at least I took a chance
    I had to let it go

    Elevator goes up
    Elevator come down
    And you just go with the flow
    'Til your feet are back on the ground

    It’s an endless ride
    Sometimes it takes you up
    Sometimes it tears you down inside
    But it's the butterflies
    That keep you feeling so alive, so alive
    You gotta get back that high

    Wasting time
    Just going mindless
    Watching your charades

    When you were younger,
    Did it occur to you
    Ten years from then you'd act the same age?

    I cannot carry on this way
    Although I've carried all your every little thing
    Carry me away...

    Did you feel like stomping the roses?
    Smashing out all the feeling inside of them
    It's bad business
    The way you're stomping the roses

    Been two hours in a taxi cab
    I'm just driving around
    And I'm running a tab
    But it doesn't really matter
    No, I'm not getting mad
    It's okay 'cause I know where I'm going

    Out the window
    Everybody's on the phone
    All the lights are on
    And they're all in the zone
    Gotta take a step back from my new ringtone
    I don't care if Jeff Fenster is calling.

    Days like these
    It's hard to breathe...

    I'm gonna take this moment that I'm in right now
    Stop the craziness somehow
    Leave it all behind me
    And no one's gonna find me
    I got nothing to win
    And I got nothing to lose
    Just trying to walk in my own two shoes
    Gotta take the time out
    It's time for me to find out who I am
    Oh, oh, ohhh
    Oh, oh, ohhh
    Who I am

    When you forget me
    When you don't remember my name
    Not even a memory
    Somewhere in the back of your brain

    I won't be offended
    'Cause I always knew
    That the day would come when
    I'm not enough to make you stay

    You tell me it's not possible
    No way that we could break
    But nothing is illogical
    Believe me...

    Like falling stars over your head
    We were bound to burn up alive
    Crashing cars
    I'll never get over you,
    Never over you 'cause
    You are so beautiful, yeah

    There's something crazy 'bout this day
    Like I'm walking on a trampoline
    I couldn't get much higher
    Ooh, so if I asked you, would you stay?
    'Cause you remind me of a ballerina dancing on a wire

    And I don't ever want to say goodbye
    I just wanna steal this moment right away from time...

    What do you say when you can't come down
    When you feel like you're ten feet off the ground?
    What do you do when you're on the edge?
    Now you're here and you got me thinking 'bout
    Parachutes and airplanes,
    Thinkin' about parachutes and airplanes
    Never hit the ground, ground, ground, ground.

    Keep on running
    And you'll never get to feel the moment
    It's like you're sleeping
    'Cause you don't take the time to take it in

    Like a trainwreck
    You're on a mission
    Tunnel vision got you blinded
    Better slow down
    Before you lose ground
    It'll happen anyway

    Paint it over if you're world is gray...

    When you close your eyes
    You'll see the view
    You miss everything surrounding you
    Stop and just look around
    Get a good look around
    Get up and look around
    Get up and look around

    You can build your life right on air
    What you need will always be there
    Stop and just look around
    Get a good look around
    Get up and look around
    Get up and look around you

    I don't know what I'm doing here
    How I landed in this space
    But it's a good place

    And I don't wanna mess it up
    Make mistakes or say too much
    'Cause it's a good place

    You find it
    You hold it
    You feel its grace...

    These are words
    I wanna say
    Every hour
    Of every day
    These are words
    That say how good it feels
    To be here with you today
    I hope it's not too late
    I hope it's not too late

    Yeah, yeah

    How many times have you said,
    'if I just had one more dollar in my pocket'
    I know that I've felt the same

    How many times have you dreamed
    That you could pack up and leave?
    Just run away from the trouble
    Baby, I can't complain

    'Cause I don't always get everything I wanted
    It doesn't turn out just the way I thought it all should be
    Baby I can't complain
    No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
    Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
    No wayyy
    Baby I can't complain

    No I-i-i, no I-i-i-a
    No I, Baby I can't complain

    Yeahhh, mmm

    Everybody's got a time in their life
    When everything hurts, and nothing's right
    But you gotta walk on
    Yeah you gotta walk on

    Everybody's got a piece of their heart
    That's been stepped on and torn apart
    But you gotta be strong
    Yeah you gotta walk on

    'Cause I know it's hard to have strength and
    Sometimes you can't get through the day but
    Things just float on by
    Like the river in the night

    But I know
    Things are gonna get better
    And I know
    Things are gonna be fine
    And I know
    Life is gonna get better
    Standin' here together
    Yeah we're gonna be fine

    I was thinkin' about you
    I drew a little picture
    But some things you can't put on paper

    Like you like shooting stars
    Or write songs on guitar
    Got more things to do than stare at a mirror

    And I know, I know
    She's gotta be out there, out there
    I know, I know
    She's gotta be...

    Maybe I'm wrong
    Maybe I'm right
    Maybe I just let you walk by
    What can I say?
    Maybe I've known you all my life
    Is she the one?
    Is it today?
    Will I turn the corner
    see my future in a beautiful face?
    Maybe...

    Street lights turning on just like the sun,
    No shadows trying to knock me down tonight
    My walk is like a run
    To you
    Windows like a broken crystal ball
    Show me the missing pieces of my life
    And now I want them all
    With you

    Breathing faster,
    I count the hours till the...

    Day after tomorrow
    I can hardly wait
    It's getting closer now, closer now
    The day after tomorrow
    It's getting closer now, closer now
    Ohhh
    My walk is like a run to you
