[Lyric] Say It Like You Mean It (Panther City Riots)

[Verse 1]
When I was younger I had nothing to say
I was cashing all the checks
That you wrote in my name
Something about a loner
With a face in the mirror
All you gotta do
Is get over it kid

[Refrain]
You gotta say something
Oh, you gotta say something

[Verse 2]
So when Panther city caved
I moved out to CA
That sunny California
Caught some kids on a wave
Just another heart
Beating out of its cage
Hoping they don't find out
I got nothing to say
[Refrain]
You gotta say something
Oh, you gotta say something

[Chorus]
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it

[Verse 3]
I met a girl with some sand in her hair
She was living for the moment
I was living in fear
Just a couplе lovers
With a past in the mirror
All you gotta do
Is get ovеr it kid

[Refrain]
You gotta say something
Oh, you gotta say something

[Verse 4]
It was us against the world
No one betting on us
She was finishing her school
I was out on a bus
Singing for the kids
With nobody to trust
Scared to death to find out
I was falling in love
[Refrain]
You gotta say something
Oh, you gotta say something

[Chorus]
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it

[Bridge]
Sometimes you want to
Set the world on fire
With just the heat of your heart
And the spark in your eye
You'll never see the light
Through the fog in the mirror
All you gotta do
Is get over it kid

[Refrain]
You gotta say something
Oh, you gotta say something
You gotta say something
You gotta say something
[Chorus]
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
