The Remedy

by Jason Mraz

Well I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I can't make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of July
Freedom ring, well something on the surface it stinks

I said something on the surface
Well it kind of makes me nervous
Some say that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end

I, I won't worry my life away 
I, I won't worry my life away 

Well I heard two men talking on the radio
In a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Well they were counting down the ways to stab the brother in the

Be right back after this, the unavoidable kiss
With a minty fresh death-breath
Is sure to outlast this catastrophe, dance with me
Cause if you’ve gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end

I, I won't worry my life away
I, I won't worry my life away

When I fall in love, I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still going to shine
And I'll tell you why

Because the remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I said, the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end

I, cause I won't, I won't worry my life away
I won’t, I won’t, I won’t
I won't worry my life away  (I won't worry my life)

I, I won't, I won't worry my life away (no)
Cause I won’t, and I won’t, and I won’t 
I won't worry my life away
