Streetlight Manifesto - Point/counterpoint Lyrics

Send "Point/counterpoint" ringtone to your cell

I've got a gun in my hand

But the gun won't cock

My finger's on the trigger

But that trigger seems locked

I can't stop staring

At the tick-tock clock

And even if I could

I would never give up

With a vest on my chest

A bullet in my lung

I can't believe I'm dying

With my song unsung

And if and when I die

Won't you bury me alone

'Cause I'll never get to heaven

If I'm singing this song

If there was something wrong

Would you be oh so strong

Would you do what it takes

To move this hollow life along

I'd like to think I would

You know I'd like to think I would

But I guarantee that what

You see is not reality

And every time I make a point

She makes a counterpoint

She said it's easy but in the end

You'll have no choice

And you know that's only

Just the way it goes

(You said it right man

That is just the way it goes)

And the days, and the days

They seem like forever

And the days, and the days

They seem like forever

But forever isn't ever enough!

I'd like to sing a song

(Promise you won't be long)

I'll try not to be long but

I don't want to get this story wrong

There was a kid who never

Cared about the little things

Don't even bother 'cause

I'm tired and I'm sick of it

And every time she makes a point

I'll make a counterpoint

She said it's easy but

In the end you'll have no choice

And you know that's only

Just the way it goes

(You said it right man

That is just the way it goes)

[Trombone]

I've got a gun in my hand

But the gun won't cock

And my finger's on the trigger

But the trigger seems locked

And I can't stop staring

At the tick-tock clock

And even if I could

I would never give up

With a vest on my chest

A bullet in my lung

I can't believe I'm dying

With my song unsung

And if and when I die

Won't you bury me alone

'Cause I'll never get to heaven

If I'm singing this song

(Ohhhhh)

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

Where I've been

(Ohhhhh)

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

What I've seen

If I did something right

Would you give up this fight

Would you say you were wrong and

Maybe someone else was kind of right

I'd like to think you would

You know I'd like to think you would

But I can't guarantee that

What you get is an apology

Jump back to the day we met

I never thought that

It would end this way

If ever I let you down

I want to ask of you

To take it down a notch

And we can talk it on through

And the days, and the days

They seem like forever

And the days, and the days

They seem like forever

But forever isn't ever enough!

I'd like to sing a song

(Promise you won't be long)

I'll try not to be long but

I don't want to get this story wrong

There was a chick who never

Cared about the little things

Don't bother 'cause

I still don't give a shit

And every time she makes a point

I'll make a counterpoint

She said it's easy but

In the end you'll have no choice

And you know that's only

Just the way it goes

(You said it right man

That is just the way it goes)

I've got a gun in my hand

But the gun won't cock

My finger's on the trigger

But that trigger seems locked

And I can't stop staring

At the tick-tock clock

And even if I could

I would never give up

With a vest on my chest

A bullet in my lung

I can't believe I'm dying

With my song unsung

And if and when I die

Won't you bury me alone

'Cause I'll never get to heaven

If I'm singing this song

(Ohhhhh)

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

Where I've been

(Ohhhhh)

You don't know

You don't know

You don't know

What I've seen

[Bass]

So tell me friend

How's it going to end

When the shit goes down

And there's no one left

Around to get your back

You'll crack

You'll smile and agree

With everything they say

They'll try to tell you

That it's all okay

But it's not and you're shot

You're bleeding pretty bad

And you can't stop thinking

About the things you never had

Like a wife and a kid and

The things you never did

Running around

You're living a life that's

Empty in the end my friend

Noooooo

You'll take back

All you've said

Ohhhh

And the regrets

Fill your head

Trust me I've

Been there before

I would not wish it upon

My greatest enemy

What irony

Once friends, but I find

You'll have to learn

This lesson on your own

So I waited by the phone

But the phone never rang

And I sang so loud so

I wouldn't hear the bang

When the bang never came

And I never got the call

Fuck you! Thank you! I love you all!

Some are going to say

That we're doomed to repeat

All our past mistakes

Great

But that's not me

And even if it was

I would always disagree

Because in the end I always

Get the better of me

I've got a gun in my hand

But the gun won't cock

My finger's on the trigger

But that trigger seems locked

I can't stop staring

At the tick-tock clock

And even if I could

I would never give up

With a vest on my chest

A bullet in my lung

I can't believe I'm dying

With my song unsung

And if and when I die

Won't you bury me alone

'Cause I'll never get to heaven

If I'm singing this song

(Ohhhhh)

I'll take you

I'll take you

I'll take you

Where I've been

(Ohhhhh)

I'll show you

I'll show you

I'll show you

What I've seen
