Cannonball Lyrics

[Intro]
Whoo!

[Verse 1]
Throw a penny down the wishin' well
'Cause it hasn't worked before
All the money in the world can't bring us back
'Cause we've been torn

[Pre-Chorus]
The mission has failed
I'm still on your tail
So light the fuses up

[Chorus]
You said that you want me
Said that you need me
Now I'm just hangin' by a thread
You're keepin' me guessing
My head feels so messy
Don't wanna be left alone for dead
My heart don't feel a part of me
I've been empty for far too long
I've been fallin', fallin', fallin' like a cannonball

[Verse 2]
Cross my heart and hope to die for you
'Cause I haven't died beforе (Died before)
I makе it harder than it needs to be
Stayin' on the thirteenth floor
[Pre-Chorus]
The mission has failed
I'm still on your tail
So light the fuses up

[Chorus]
You said that you want me
Said that you need me
Now I'm just hangin' by a thread
You're keepin' me guessing
My head feels so messy
Don't wanna be left alone for dead
My heart don't feel a part of me
I've been empty for far too long
I've been fallin', fallin', fallin' like a cannonball

[Bridge]
You wake me up, you hold me down
You turn your cheek, you laugh out loud
You are the one that drives me crazy

[Chorus]
You said that you want me
Said that you need me
Now I'm just hangin' by a thread
You're keepin' me guessing
My head feels so messy
Don't wanna be left alone for dead
My heart don't feel a part of me
I've been empty for far too long
I've been fallin', fallin', fallin' like a cannonball

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
