The Whitest Boy Alive-Courage Lyrics Having said what I needed to,
Having shown what I feel for you,
What my intentions have been today.
Now it's time for you to do the same.
And no love can be guaranteed.
It don't come with no warranties.
It's a leap you have to make.
It's the risk we all must take.
Well it's clear where the cutting line
Woke up deep for the longest time.
But I can't offer any help.
You must do this all by yourself.
And no love can be guaranteed.
It don't come with no warranties.
So wake up, or wake up alone.
If you want me, show some
Courage, courage, courage, courage,
Courage, courage, courage, courage,
Courage, courage, courage, courage,
Courage, courage. Show some
Courage, courage, courage, courage,
Courage, courage. Show some
Courage, courage, courage, courage,
Courage, courage.
The Whitest Boy Alive-Island Lyrics When I got back along my road,
All the trees had come out the screen.
Nobody called for many days.
I was left in my little world.
Lived through the smell of painted floors,
Echoing the sound.
Off running water through the pipes,
And posters falling down.
When I woke up the second day,
All the noises have disappeared.
Down the street I chose a path,
And walked to the end of it.
Of all the words you sent to me,
There was one that I couldn't bear.
One that for me meant everything,
I think you got mixed up with care,
Taking care, taking care.
Live on the island.
Live on the island.
Live on the island.
Live on the island.
