Runner Runner - Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics

(Originally by Third Eye Blind)

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do, coming over you
Keep on smiling
What we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games they play

She said
I want something else
To get me through this semi-charmed kind of life
Baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say goodbye

The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock, with a tick-tock rhythm
A bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said, how do I get back there to the place
Where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to the place where you said

I want something else
To get me through this semi-charmed kind of life
Baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say goodbye

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right, all right

And then the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet, it rips in the city
We tripped on the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One
And now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do, just a little now

Feel myself with heavy on the ground
I'm scared, I'm not coming down, no, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws now locked down in smile
But nothing is all right, all right

I want something else
To get me through this life
Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
