Go On Lyrics
Met a girl,
she's travelin round the world
leavin pieces behind
She said she'd wait for me
But I can't make her see
that she's called to other skies
I can't be her place to hide
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
Well it'd be wrong to make her stay
(And what you are doin in my head?
Why did you come in when you did?)
So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
Maybe in another time
we could've been fine
Spread your wings and fly
And look to the sky
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
And don't forget to write me
And don't forget the things you see
(And what you are doin in my head?
And why did you come in when you did?)
So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
So follow all your dreams
Whatever, whatever they may be
So follow all your dreams
Whatever, whatever they may be
Go on!!!
So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
Spread your wings and fly
And look to the sky
Spread your wings and fly
Spread your wings and fly
she's travelin round the world
leavin pieces behind
She said she'd wait for me
But I can't make her see
that she's called to other skies
I can't be her place to hide
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
Well it'd be wrong to make her stay
(And what you are doin in my head?
Why did you come in when you did?)
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
we could've been fine
And look to the sky
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
And don't forget to write me
And don't forget the things you see
(And what you are doin in my head?
And why did you come in when you did?)
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
Whatever, whatever they may be
So follow all your dreams
Whatever, whatever they may be
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"
And look to the sky
Spread your wings and fly
Spread your wings and fly

This song is really awesome. It's a good song for me to take to heart. Not to sound full of myself, but this girl reminds me of myself, which might be why i like the song so much
yes it is tbs. it's on their old old cd.. before when adam was just a bassist. the entire line up has changed since this song.. that singer is out. and it is tbs. have some faith in the greatest band ever. =)
I liked the old lineup so much more then the new, one , but Adams stage presance is amazeing without the bass on his sholder. Yes I have seen them with both line-ups. And Toad, you might want to check out Brand New (theres no I in team is about the brand new singer sleeping with his girlfriend, whail they were best friends, great to say that they both got over her and are great friends agin) [If you ever get to see Brand New and TBS together Both singers sing the song, It is fucking awsome] They also played shows with The Used, Thursday, Shai Hulud, Recover, Thrice, Little League (everyone check them out, they are an amazeing band from philly) Rufio, Hey Mercedes, Finch. I could go on but I get bored pretty fast. Peace and Chicken Grease.
actually, (about the brand new comment) that is about john sleeping with the singer of brand new's girlfriend
it is difficult for some people to believe that this is taking back sunday because the older songs have a difference in sound than the new stuff. this song was came out when adam played bass (shuan was not in picture), antonio was the lead singer (he was the lead singer before adam), and the guy in the background is one of the singers from brand new.
despite all the change ups and conflicts tbs has been through they are still my favorite band. and i will never get tired of them.
-get the flyers up. have you seen the GUY with my heart on his sweater?
this song is the best by far. i love tbs they fucking rock !
Call me crazy but uhhh this isnt taking back sunday neither of the singers sound anything like the stuff off their new cds or any other song i have heard from them.
this is a great song! i love the lyrics , i too doubted it was them when i first heard it as well, but now i know it is them, regardless its a terrific song
Great song, great job on the lyrics. Just need to add 'on' at the beginning of the chorus. its "so go on back..." Anyone have any reccomendations for other bands like TBS that i could hear? I love TBS, but i dont hear much emo up here in canada. thanks.
