So Outta Line
Goo Goo Dolls · Hold Me Up [1991]
I heard the floor creak or so I thought
I had my head rubbing on the ceiling
They say that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point we beggars can't be choosers
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
One day ain't forever
I had my head rubbing on the ceiling
They say that indecision makes one weak
My indecision's suddenly been deepened
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
You've worked so hard for everything you've got
Ten minutes later you're a loser
Count your blessings and the ones you love
At this point we beggars can't be choosers
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
One day ain't forever
You'll find your time
You look outside it's snow
Been snow so long you know
Just feel like lettin go
So outta line
One day ain't forever

With its soaring chorus and emotive delivery, the recording captures the raw energy of their formative years, establishing a sonic template that influenced a generation of alternative rock artists.
