Lyrics Howie Day - Be there

When the morning came
I was up before first light
And your bed was made
Must have cut out sometime last night
And my heartbeat started pounding out
A rhythm in my brain
A voice from deep inside said
You've got to be insane
Everyone knows how this old story goes
So I got in that taxi
Drank my conscience away

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start living, out with the old
I'm all lit up
Must be the good life

I went to your friend's house
I begged you to open the door
With your hands on your hips you spoke
While I sat down on that floor
It's your dishes in the kitchen sink
The way you treat me when you drink
Tone that's so superior
When you give your opinion
Don't think I don't know
How you act on your own
And just who are those names
On your cell phone anyway?

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start living, out with the old
I'm all lit up
Must be the good life

You're a cool breeze and the setting sun
New Year’s, the 4th wrapped into one
You make me want to be someone
That you could look up to

If you're gonna be there, be there
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight
Start living, out with the old
I'm all lit up
Must be the good life

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now
What are you waiting for?

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now
What are you waiting for?

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now
What are you waiting for?

Come on get love
Come on and try
Come on now
What are you waiting for?

When the morning came
I was up before first light
