3 Doors Down
Complete the cloze:
 
The rock band 3 Doors Down was (formed/made) by drummer vocalist Brad Arnold, guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. The three were good friends (which/ who) had grown up together in Escatawpa, and who each shared a (ordinary/common) interest in rock music. The band started playing (locally/ lately) around the city, playing a (group/mix ) of both cover songs and original songs that (would/will) eventually be recorded on their first release. Brad Arnold eventually (finished/ ended) up not only drumming, but also (playing/acting) as the group's lead singer, mainly because, as he (puts/speaks) it, "nobody else would do it, but I did and enjoyed it." Arnold is also the groups lyricist, and wrote many of their (last/early) hits when he was only 15, often working on songs (between/during) Maths class.

The band (suddenly/eventually) began to tour outside of their native city, and it was during a (trip/journey) to Foley, Alabama that they (decided/started) on their official band name. While the three men (was/were) walking through the town, they saw a building where some letters had fallen (off/down) of its sign, and it read "Doors Down." Since at the time, their group consisted of three people, they decided to (add/stick) the "3" to create "3 Doors Down."

"It's Not My Time"
by 3 Doors Down
 
 
 

"It's Not My Time"

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how  was
Just you and me loving all of our friends
Living life like an
But now the current's only pulling me around/down
It’s getting harder to breath

Can you save me from this?

Cause it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a  in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I  know/ no
Oh but I won’t go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh but I'm taking/ talking them back
Cause all of this time I've just been too blind to understand
What to me
My friends this life we live, it’s not what we have
It’s what we  in

Cause it’s not my  I'm not going
There's a fear in me but it’s not showing
This could be the  of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a  in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh  I won’t go
I won’t go

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see
But it’s not my time I'm  going
There's a fear in me it’s not showing
This  be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not  time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now it’s gonna
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But I won’t go
No I won’t go down
Yeah
