The Phrase That Pays Lyrics
My eyes can't believe what they have seen
In the corner of your room
You've stockpiled millions of my memories
Oh doctor, doctor
I must have gotten this sick somehow
I'm going to ask you a series of questions
And I want them answered on the spot right now
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is
Am I gonna die?
Well, son, death is gonna catch up to all one day
But yours is coming quicker than ours
Than ours
Some things I may have taken for granted
Again and again
Well, here's what was said then
Hold your head high, heavy heart
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it
When will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big
Planning something big
Planning
I never tried to make the best of my time
When I thought that I had plenty of it
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think
Is it all a lie?
Well, one thing's for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids
Without a brash or bitter thing to say
Now my life is one big make it or break it
Hold your head high, heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it
When will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big
Planning something big
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it
When will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big
Planning something big
Planning
Hold your head high, heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it
When will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big
Planning something big
So take a chance and make it big
'Cause it's the last you'll ever get
If we don't take it
When will we make it?
I make plans to break plans
And I've been planning something big
Planning something big

This whole album resembles their rise to the top, and those lyrics are dead wrong. "SAVE YOUR STRENGTH FOR THE MORNING AFTER" and he doesn't sing that until the second pre-chorus.
this person above seems angry at my simple mistake... i submitted these lyrics a month before the cd came out, i had nothing to go by except my ears.
