Dark as midnight Six pack Coors Light You don't look the same Past my bedtime Blue and red lights Come take you away Hate to see you like a monster So I run and hide Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind I won't be, no I won't be like you Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth Eyes like yours can't look away But you can't stop DNA No, you can't stop DNA Twice a year, you come in crashing Nice to see you too Johnny Cash and backseat laughing Always ends too soon Hate to say hello 'cause I know that it means goodbye Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind I won't be, no I won't be like you Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth Eyes like yours can't look away But you can't stop DNA No, you can't stop DNA Are the pieces of you In the pieces of me?

(Justin Bieber:) Everybody gets high sometimes, you know What else can we do when we're feeling low? So take a deep breath and let it go You shouldn't be drowning on your own And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you And although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you And I hope you know I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight I won't let go I'll be your lifeline tonight Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
