I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light

[Chorus]
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

Looking at the crowd
And I see your body sway, c'mon
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive

[Chorus]

All of your time spent keeps us alive

[Chorus]

Yeah, every time we're down
Yeah, you can make it right
Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life

[Chorus]

    General Comment:I agree with lqfuad. Everyone who makes fun of the BSB just didn't grow up with them. I love thinking about them and remembering all the slumber parties I used to have where we stayed up all night listening to the BSB! Fun times! And also, who thinks emo is real music? Another thing to think about is are the emo groups you listen to still around? Hmm..let's think? NO! Are the BSB still around even though they "suck"? OMG! YEAH!! So obviously someone likes them! I love the BSB and always will!

    General Comment:I agree with lqfuad on this one. When the Backstreet Boys first came out, they were loved in a "ooh new and shiny" way. After a couple years, they were hated, because everybody realized how cheesy they were. Now, roughly a decade later, they've flipped back to awesome in a cheesy 90's oh-the-memories way.

    The robot dance break, by the way, is AMAZING.

    General Comment:Haha, people are nuts. This is a catchy, cool song. The lyrics aren't profound or anything, but why would a up-beat pop song need to be? Everyone likes this song and they know it.

    Since when is "emo" real music? It's just a bunch of whiny-voiced teens with Bryan Adams and other washed up singers writing lyrics for them.

    This is a really fun song, I think, and there isn't a "REAL BIG" meaning behind it other than, thanks for supporting us. I loved the video for this actually...really fun, and AJ looked edible. The BSB are fun because THEY always looked like they were having so much fun singing and dancing. Why should that be "crappy" in any way?

    General Comment:I'm trying to figure out how a feel-good, optimistic song like this is somehow a billion times worse to some people than, say, a rap song glorifying promiscuous sex.

    And of course they don't write their own songs. Just because someone else wrote it and they sang it... does that mean the person who wrote it sucks, or that the guys who sang it suck? Not in my book. Great talent can come from more than just a one-person production "company," y'know, peeps.

    Anyway, I think most, if not all, of the BSB have great voices, and the production techniques of this song make it easy to listen to.
