  • It was meant to be
    But all along it never meant a thing
    Never stopped to ask you why
    You didn't pass me by
    Did you see me when your life
    Flash before your eyes?
    Was it just that I wasn't hard enough?
    Hard enough for you

    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Stop using my (stop, stop, stop, stop)
    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Confusion (stop, stop, stop, stop)
    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Wait, wait
    There's a world out there
    (There's a world out there)
    Don't you deny me
    (Don't you deny me)
    Give me one last wish
    (Give me one last wish)
    There's a world out there

    Elementary
    I solved them all
    All your mysteries
    Settle down and in good time
    We can solve all mine
    Tell me lies or tell me when
    Tell me off again
    And I will let you know
    When I've had enough
    Had enough of you

    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Stop using my (stop, stop, stop, stop)
    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Confusion (stop, stop, stop, stop)
    (Stop, stop, stop, stop)
    Wait, wait
    There's a world out there
    (There's a world out there)
    Don't you deny me
    (Don't you deny me)
    Give me one last wish
    (There's a world out there)
    There's a world out there
    (Don't you deny me)

    Know you've got your reasons
    Hey, let's call it even
    Turn out all the lights and go to bed
    Still I get this feeling
    No one will believe me
    When I let these ghosts outside my head

    There's a world out there
    (There's a world out there)
    Don't you deny me
    (Don't you deny me)
    Give me one last wish
    (Give me one last wish)
    Don't you deny me
    (Don't you deny me)
    There's a world out there
    (There's a world out there)
    Don't you deny me
    (Don't you deny me)
    Give me one last wish
    (There's a world out there)
    There's a world out there
    (Don't you deny me) Writer/s: Christopher A. Shiflett, David Eric Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins
