C’mon

There’s never a day when I’ve got nothing to do
‘Cause something to me might mean nothing to you
So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t look at me strangely now
We’ll find the line that’s in the middle and run

Something
We’ve got to run
Something or nothing

You say you love to spend days, but I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the rivers to wine
But don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t look at me strangely now
We’re gonna find the line that’s in the middle and run

Something, we’ve gotta run, something or nothing, run run run
Something, something or nothing
C’mon there

You say you love to spend days, but I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the rivers to wine
But don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t look at me strangely now
We’ll find the line that’s in the middle and run

Something, something or nothing
It’s gotta be something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
We’re looking for something, something or nothing
