Lyrics
WADE
alan semerdjian
It goes like this, the song it fits, your whole world drifts
Inside a ship that?s time, that?s how it is
You stay up all night to make a flag, to dress it up, with something flashy
To make it a stand out, something brave
And you?ve done all you can
So just wade in a minute babe
Before you begin again
Wear it out, wear it bright and big, make it smile, make it slick
Put it up on the web for the whole world to see
And when you?re up on your mtv, make a song, make it for me
To sing and I?ll promise I?ll hum along
And think of what went wrong
Or what went right
And left by night light.
So pack it up?
Pack it up This time
