Don't let 'em get where they're going to
You know they're only what they think of you
You heard of this emotional trickery
And you felt like you were learning the ropes
But where you're going now you don't now
And when the kids on the street say
What's your problem girl
And the weight of their smile's just
Too much for you to bear
When they all make you feel
Like you're a problem girl
Remember
You're no problem at all
You're no problem at all
Pride like promises can let you down
You thought that you'd be feeling
Better by now
You worry all the things they could do to you
You worry about the things they could say
Maybe you're seeing things the wrong way
If you stand or you fall
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid
When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
And I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down
Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone
No you will not be alone
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And we can't see where we are
Spending our whole lives walking the same lines
And it doesn't seem to stop
This is our life, it's all that we get
The days are all numbered
And the nights are all spent, losing our focus
We're starting to drag, we're running in circles
And we start to feel bad
But it don't mean that this ain't right
We just both need a little more time
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And we can't see where we are
Spending our whole lives walking the same lines
And it doesn't seem to stop
He's taking my throat, you're melting my hands
You cause me to wonder as much as I can
I feel it all over, it's starting to lack
We're spinning our wheels so much
That it's hard to turn back
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And we can't see where we are
Spending our whole lives walking the same lines
And it doesn't seem to stop
Oh, but when the night falls down on this place
I will be the one to hold you
When the tears run down your face
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And we can't see where we are
Spending our whole lives walking the same lines
And it doesn't seem to stop
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And it doesn't seem to stop
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
And it doesn't seem to stop
I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time
hey yeah
welcome to the real world
nobody told you it was gonna be hard you said
hey yeah
i cant believe it
i barely started now im falling apart
and its hard
standing at the crossroads
but having all the answers
never helped me out, no
then a boom shake
helps me awake
i need some coffee, yeah
and maybe a shave and
its a pretty bad way to start my today
turn on the radio and what does he say
and the stars
they were shining through the window
you feel a little moon glow kind of like a rainbow
but then a boom shake
now im awake
i think its over but its everyday and
its a pretty fine mess im starting to make
Now it seems to me that you know just what to say
But words are only words, can you show me something else?
Can you swear to me, that you'll always be this way
Show me how you feel, more than ever baby
I don't wanna be lonely no more,
I don't wanna have to pay for this,
I don't want another lover at my door,
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more,
But you know I could never stand for this,
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure,
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa..
Now It's hard for me, when my heart still on the mend,
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends
Can you sing to me, and it's harmony, girl what you do to me is everything,
Make me say anything, just to get you back again, why can't we just try?
I don't wanna be lonely no more,
I don't wanna have to pay for this,
I don't want another lover at my door,
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more,
But you know I could never stand for this,
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure,
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa..
What if I was good to you? What if you were good to me?
What if I could hold you 'til I feel you move inside of me?
What if it was paradise? And what if we were symphonies?
What if I gave all my life, to find some way to stand beside you?
I don't wanna be lonely no more,
I don't wanna have to pay for this,
I don't want another lover at my door,
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more,
But you know I could never stand for this,
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure,
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa.. Whoa..
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't, I don't, I know, I know,
Oh what the hell she says
I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man there's so many times
I don't know what I'm doin'
Like I don't know now
By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be
And she says ooh I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down, way down
She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right
By the light of the moon, she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
But don't let her see
And she says ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
Then she'll be alright, she'll be alright
Just not tonight
And she says ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling
Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
But her diamonds bring me down
Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best but now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
No more, no more, no more
Diamonds falling down
I can't take no more
Diamonds on the floor
(No more, no more)
Her diamonds falling, all her diamonds
Diamonds falling down
I can't take these diamonds falling down
This life keeps moving on
Gone away before too long
So tell your friends just how you feel
You'd better say it loud for the world to hear
'Cause it's getting late, it's time to go
The paper moon is fading slow
But the night, it keeps moving on
'Til it takes you in; it brings you home
While you're watching over
The moments that make up your life
It's getting late, that's the way it is
You can't deny when it feels like this
And it's strange what it's bringing out
You're gonna open up, 'cause you can't stop now
Oh, you can't stop now
It's getting late, you don't know how
You're wide awake, but you're missing out
You get your kicks while you can
Then you go to work to pay the man
While you're watching over
The moments that make up your life
It's getting late, it's getting late
Feeling worn down like a piece of glass
Doesn't take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies, they can swallow them
You don't see just how you got into this situation
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better
Than the secrets you keep laying down
Just lay down here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me
And I said, hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Wide awake now and your monkey's dead
You're so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down, you're among your friends
You just take, and take, and take, and take
And take, and take, and
Late at night, late at night
You weep, but you're no better
Than the secrets you keep
Stay down, just lay down here, close to me
Pretend you'll never leave me
And I said, hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Tell me what you want, child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don't let me down
Oh no, it ain't over now
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Hey now, give me the meltdown
I can feel the world spinning round and round and round
Pray you don't
Lose your place
Dead of night
Underway
All your days
Pass you by
Sun will rise
On your lonely, lonely nights
Pray you sleep tonight
Pray just a little
When every little thing
Starts fallin' to pieces
Take my hand
Fall in place
Soul inside
It shows in every line
That's on your face
Stay with me tonight
Stay I'm gonna need ya when
Every little thing
Starts fallin' to pieces
Ya been around town
Take it down now
Why is it the ones you love
That makes it all so hard on you
Then you let it fall behind
And in the back of your mind
You feel my loving shine
You think you might be saved
Tell me that you want someone beside you
Tell me that you want to see this through
Tell me all the times that I've been loving you
Call on your Angels, come down to the city
Crowd around the big tree, all you strangers who know me
Bring your compassion, your understanding
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas
Yeah, I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
And a prayer for peace on earth within our time
Hear the sidewalk Angels echo, "Halleluja"
We understand them, now more than ever
So call on your angels, you're beaten and broken
It's time that we mended so they don't fade with the season
Let our mercy be the gifts we lay from Brooklyn to Broadway
And celebrate each and every day of this New York City Christmas
Yeah, I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
And a prayer for peace on earth within our time
Hear the sidewalk angels echo, "Halleluja"
We understand them, now more than ever
Merry New York Christmas
Call on your Angels, come down to the city
Let's crowd around the big tree, all you strangers you know me
Bring your compassion, bring your forgiveness
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas
Yeah, I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas
And a prayer for peace on earth, it's not too late
Yeah, the sidewalk Angels echo, "Hallelujah"
We understand them, we hear them say
Merry Christmas, ah yeah, yes, a New York City Christmas
Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, wonderful
I'm all easy breath and steady walk, steady walking
But underneath I'm barely moving, no it's like I'm nothing
All the ways they have to make me smile
And then they go and break me
Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, it's terrible
I'm all easy come and easy go as far as you know
But underneath, man, I'm just killing time
I guess I'm past my prime and now
I'm overrated, overdressed, and overstated
Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
If I put my hands up, put your hands up
If I fall down, if I lose my place
And I don't know just where I'm supposed to go
Or if you'll be there when I wake
Would you love me then?
And I come home tired, and I come home late
Everybody wants me, so I give it away
I'm a wanted man, I'm a wanted man
I'm a wanted man, I'm a wanted man
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
Would you love me then?
It's never easy and you never know
What leaves you crying
And what makes you whole
There ain't no way that I can hold it down
Falling to pieces
Forever in doubt
But it's alright
Why don't you tell me again
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
It's alright
Why don't you tell me my friend
How you'll still be there
When the heartache ends
There ain't nobody who can show you how
To find the surface when you're underground
There ain't no blanket that can hide this cold
There ain't no memory
That ever gets old
And I move all directions
To the corners and the outskirts
While the lovers and the lonely
Start to whisper all about me
And if I stand here silent
I almost start to feel you fading in
Telling me hold on
Cuz it's gonna be alright
Say you'll be with me
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded, I was stranded
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take
This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
Yeah, this is how a heart breaks
You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(this is it,yeah yeah this is it)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
This is how a heart breaks
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can't take it
(Can't take it)
Can't take it
(Can't take it)
This is how a heart breaks
(Can't take it no more)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
This is how a heart breaks
I can't take it
(Can't take it)
I Can't take it
(Can't take it)
I can't take it
This is how a heart breaks
Oh...
This is how a heart breaks
It's morning, I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day in this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world let's come together
More than ever, I can feel it, can you feel it?
Come on over, down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine? Telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright, try to find a better life
Come on over, down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers, there for one another
Won't ya come on over?
Man, I know you wanna let yourself go
Some people, it's a pity
They go all their lives and never know
How to love or to let love go
But it's alright now, we'll make it through this somehow
And we'll paint the perfect picture
All the colors of this world will run together
More than ever, I can feel it, can you feel it?
Come on over, down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine? Telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright, try to find a better life
Come on over, down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Won't ya come on over?
Man, I know you wanna let yourself go
Let yourself go
We may never find our reason to shine
But here and now this is our time
And I may never find the meaning of life
But for this moment I am fine
So come on over, down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Don't you feel that sunshine? Telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright, try to find a better life
Come on over, down to the corner
We can leave it all behind
Never been a better time, come on over
Man, I know you wanna let yourself go
On and on and on and on and on
Yeah, we're going on and on and on and on and on and on
Yeah, we're going on and on and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on and on
I should have never let you go, always another
I need this more than you will know, but there's always another
A million byways and highways and there's always another
Someone else to pay your way and try to take your innocence
There's always heartbreak
I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down but I still ain't over you
I've been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now that I still ain't over you
I keep your letters by my bed and there's always another
I hear your voice inside my head and there's always another
A waste of time wasted our days and there's always another
Someone else to make you suffer
Make you think this whole thing over
I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down but I still ain't over you
I've been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now that I still ain't over you
I still ain't over you
You're breaking me down and I still ain't over you
And I got nothing to lose and I still ain't over you
I hold steady while you're shaking me loose
You keep breaking me down but I still ain't over you
I've been living like there's nothing to lose
And I'm telling you now that I still ain't home, I ain't home
I've been sleeping around but I still ain't over you
Hey man
I don't wanna hear about love no more
I don't wanna talk about how I feel
I don't really wanna be me, no, no more
Dress down now I look a little too boy next door
Maybe I should try to find a downtown whore
That'll make me look hardcore
I need you to tell me what to stand for
I've been looking for something
Something I've never seen
We're all looking for something
Something to be
Hey man
Play another one of those heartbreak songs
Tell another story how things go wrong
And they never get back
My pain is a platinum stack, take that shit back
You don't wanna be me when it all goes wrong
You don't wanna see me with the houselights on
I'm a little too headstrong
Stand tall, I don't wanna get walked on
I've been looking for something
Something I've never seen
We're all looking for something
Something to be, something to be
Well I can't stand what I'm starting to be
No, I can't stand the people that I'm starting to need
There's so much now that can go wrong
And I don't need nobody trying to help it along
It's the same old song
Everybody says, you've been away too long
Everybody wanna tell you what went wrong
Wanna make you like an icon
Till you believe that they're right
I've been looking for something
Something I've never seen
We're all looking for something
Something to be
I've been looking for something
Something I've never seen
We're all looking for something
Something to be
Something to be
Something to be
Something to be
Something to be
You can go, you can start all over again
You could try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide, hold all your feelings inside
You could try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry
And maybe someday we'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
And try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow, someday
Now we wait and try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you could change your mind
You can run, oh, and when everything is over and done
You could shine a little light on everything around you
Man, it's good to be someone
And maybe someday we'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow, someday
And I don't wanna wait, I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight, tell it to me slow
'Cause maybe someday we'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now that
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow, someday
'Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
'Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
Man, it?s a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whispering the words that melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My munequita
My Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
And if you said this life ain?t good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you?re so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart, make it real or else forget about it
I?ll tell you one thing
If you would leave, it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
And if you said this life ain?t good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you?re so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It?s the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart, make it real or else forget about it
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
It?s the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No, you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
No, you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No, you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No, you will not be afraid
And when the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No, I will not leave you crying
No, I will not let you down
No, I will not let you down
I will not let you down
Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains?
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days
And when the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No, you will not be forgotten
And you will not be alone
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's terrified and
She's unafraid
She'll change her mind
With the change of the seasons
She's every reason
You'll ever need
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
Sometimes she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything that's perfect
Took a little workin' out, yeah
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She'll break your heart
And she'll make you strong
And she can take you
Completely make you
So uncertain but
So better off
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
At times she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything was workin'
Why'd you have to let her down again, again
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's terrified
And she's unafraid
She is an icon
She keeps her brights on
She'll break your heart, yeah
But she's got her ways
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's complicated
With an easy smile
She is a genius
But she don't see it
She is a dream
In your waking hour
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
At times she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything that's perfect
Gets a little worn, little worn down
Little worn down, yeah
Little worn down
This is not the life I promised you before
I can feel them running chains around our door
And I'm coming to the end of what I'm for
But I will pull myself together, I am sure
I will run for you until I start to drop
I will breathe your breath until you tell me stop
We will see the ending of another sunny day
And we'll wait at home until the next one drops
Are we all just sitting here waiting on the end?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces till we find ourselves again?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
This is not the way we wanted this to be
And I can feel your doubt inside of me
We're standing on the edge of everything we've ever seen
And everything we'll never get to be
Are we all just sitting here waiting on the end?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces till we find ourselves again?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
And when you think it's over
It starts coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again
And when you think it's figured out
It starts coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again
Are we all just sitting here waiting on the end?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
Are we filling spaces till we find ourselves again?
Like it's only natural, it's only natural
It's only natural, it's only natural
The light from the window is fading
You turn on the night
The sound from the avenue's calling you
Open your eyes
And when you find
You're spending your time
Wanting for words
But never speak
You tell yourself
That the things you need come slow
But inside you just don't know
Chorus:
My, my, my
Let your bright light shine
Let your words live on
Far beyond this life
Beyond this life
Hold on to anything
Everything's over and done
Has the fear taken over you
Tell me
Is that what you want
To make up your life
Time after time
You're falling behind
Hold on to me
Never leave
Forever be what you mean to me right now
Don't you feel better now
Chorus
(My, my, my, my)
Beyond this life
(My, my, my,)
Don't you feel better now?
(My, my, my, my)
Don't you feel better now?
Say my, my, my (right now)
So when you find
You're spending your time
Wanting for words
But never speak
You tell yourself
That the things you need come slow
But inside you just don't know
My, my, my
how your bright light shines
Let your words live on
Far beyond this life
Does your wild, wild, calling
Weigh you down sometimes?
Well, my, my, my
Here we stand
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
Will we bend?
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in?
Everybody else is smiling
And their smiles don't fade
And you don't even wonder
Why you just don't think that way
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move or we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
Take my hand
And I will lead you through the broken promise land
Yes I can, oh yes I can
I can be there when you need it
I'll give it all 'til you can't feel it anymore
I don't wanna love you now
If you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around
If you'll just walk away
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move or we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere
We can't move or we can't stay here
Well, maybe we've just had enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
You and me tried everything
But still that mockingbird won't sing
Well man, this life seems hard enough
Well, maybe we ain't meant for this love
Maybe we ain't meant for this love
An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert, red alert
It's so hard to stay together
Passing through revolving doors
We need someone to talk to
And someone to sweep the floors
Incomplete, incomplete
The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy, that's what I worry about you
I know it makes no difference to what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you
Cruising under your radar
Watching from the satellites
Take a page from the red book
And keep them in your sights
Red alert, red alert
Left and rights of passage
Black and whites of youth
Who can face the knowledge
That the truth is not the truth?
Obsolete, absolute, yeah
The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy, but I worry about you
I know it makes no difference to what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you
The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy, that is what I worry about you
I know it makes no difference to what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you
Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder
Don?t you know the hardest part is over?
Let it in, let your clarity define you
In the end we will only just remember how it feels
Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain
Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine until you feel it all around you
And I don?t mind if it?s me you need to turn to
We?ll get by, it?s the heart that really matters in the end
Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain
All of my regret will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now
In these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twists and turns of fate!
Time falls away, yeah but these small hours
And these small hours still remain, yeah
Ooh they still remain
These little wonders, oh these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
Take this confusion
Runnin' round my head
Take back my unkind words
Lay that weight on me instead
I'm the place where everything turns sour
Where you gonna run to now
Wrong step
We got off track
We need someone to help us get back now
Worn thin
Awful state I was in
I believe I was losing me now I'm found
I am found
But I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion
I am the damage
I am the relief
Sometimes I'm people
I never hoped that I would be
If I take in whatever they turn out
What's that gonna make me now
Don't you understand
I'm not real anymore
I am an illusion
Wrong step
We got off track
We need someone to help us get back now
Worn thin
Awful state I was in
I believe they were fooling me
Now I'm down
I am down
But I'm not real anymore
You're the best thing I ever knew
You'll do everything that I can't do
Sometimes I get lost in my blue
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
All right
You and me got so much to prove
You're the only thing that I can't loose
The nights are peaceful here in our room
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
'Cause I didn't mean to, didn't mean
What I said, all the things I said to you
But maybe the worst is the best
I can do with you
And I never want you to go, but I know
How the mood it waits too slow
And I fall apart 'cause it's all that I know
I know, I know, yeah I know
Yeah, you're running now, baby blue
Please don't let it take me far from you
I've been restless, I've been a fool
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Please forgive me if I'm hard on you
Oh well, oh well
Guess you've got it all worked out so far
You adjust your reason
Until you see the light from where you are
But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the worst part
You can only say that what you want
Is where you are
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Oh well, oh well
It never took a lot to make this hard
'Cause you're so off balance
And I knew all the words to set you off
But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the scorned heart
Then you throw your head back
And you laugh at where we are
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Gasoline, gasoline, gasoline
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Burned like gasoline
Fire on the mountain
Through the freeze
Save yourself
There's evil
In the garden
But you don't see it
I can tell
[Chorus]
How do you sleep while the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on, on
Fire on the mountain
You can feel it
Against your skin
You're standing
By the river
Let the river
Take you in
How do you sleep while the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on
When the world moves on, on
Yeah
[x2]
Hell, I see smoke out on the horizon
Mama, get your baby, take her down to the water
I view the wind like a promise broken
I see the future but it's getting farther
How do you sleep while the city's burning
Where do you go when you can't go home
How do you drink when there's blood in the water
Where do you turn when the world moves on
When the world moves on, hey
When the world moves on, [x3]
Yeah, oh Yeah, oh yeah world moves on
Well, there's a woman sittin' on the floor
She wonders what she's here for
There's a needle sittin' by the door
There's a woman with a hand to God
She's praying for redemption
Her baby's crying, she says
How you gonna be somebody?
She used to be with another man
A broken man with a broken promise
And now she wonders what she's for
And she may never know for sure
Yeah, she may never know for sure
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
A little girl livin' on the street
A baby livin' by the devil's heartbeat
She started sellin' them when she was just a teen
Now she's got babies of her own
Another mouth that she can't feed
Another life is a pressure that she don't need
And it's been years since she was clean
And this ain't how she used to be
Right now she's only seventeen
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
Fallen, fallen
Heaven help us
Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us, oh
Fallen, oh, fallen, oh
Heaven, oh, help us
Fallen
(Oh yeah)
Fallen
(We're fallin' down)
Heaven
(Oh, heaven help)
Help us
(Heaven help us now)
Fallen
(Oh yeah)
Fallen
(I'm gonna sing it now, now now now)
Heaven help us
(Fallen, oh now now down)
Fallen
(Now, now, now)
Fallen
(Oh yeah)
Heaven
(Oh yeah)
Help us
We're fallen down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Yeah, well we're fallen down
Yeah, just fallen
We were drawn from the weeds
We were brave like soldiers
Falling down under the pale moonlight
You were holding to me
Like a someone broken
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now
Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down
Fall on me
Tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you forever in me
Ever the same
We would stand in the wind
We were free like water
Flowing down
Under the warmth of the sun
Now it's cold and we're scared
And we've both been shaken
Hey, look at us
Man, this doesn't need to be the end
Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down
Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same
You may need me there
To carry all your weight
But you're no burden I assure
You tide me over
With a warmth I'll not forget
But I can only give you love
Fall on me tell me everything you want me to be
Forever with you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Call on me
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
Forever it's you
Forever in me
Ever the same
Forever with you
Forever in me
Everybody's got a different story
Everybody wanna give their selves away
But I'm still afraid
We can stay out of their field of vision
If we can keep ourselves a half a world away
Ah honey, we'll be okay
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song all night long
Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody's got a place where they belong
Like a favorite song
And I don't wanna be a faded memory
I don't wanna be the ghost that you can't shake
I wanna be the real thing
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song all night long
Yeah, all night long
Yeah, all night long
No one said we were victims, honey
No one said we had to keep the things we get
There ain't no regrets
And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood
But we ain't that desperate yet
Oh no, ain't nothing like the real thing
The world can be so cruel
Let me sing to you
This cradle song all night long
The world can be so cruel
But I will sing for you
This cradle song all night long
This cradle song
This cradle song
Yeah, all night long
Sing it all night long
Yeah, all night long
Sing it all night long
I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
See your faith in me subsiding
See you prime for giving in
I give you all that I am
I am the sound of love's arriving
Echoed softly on the sand
Lay your head upon my shoulder
Lay your hand within my hand
I give you all that I am
And I breathe where you breathe
Let me stand where you stand
With all that I am
I am the white dove for a soldier
Ever marching as to war
I would give my life to save you
I stand guarding at your door
I give you all that I am
I am the one winged bird for flying
Sinking quickly to the ground
I am the blind man for a watchdog
I am prime for giving in
I'll show you all that I am
And I breathe so you breathe
Let me stand so you'll stand
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's terrified and
She's unafraid
She'll change her mind
With the change of the seasons
She's every reason
You'll ever need
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
Sometimes she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything that's perfect
Took a little workin' out, yeah
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She'll break your heart
And she'll make you strong
And she can take you
Completely make you
So uncertain but
So better off
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
At times she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything was workin'
Why'd you have to let her down again, again
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's terrified
And she's unafraid
She is an icon
She keeps her brights on
She'll break your heart, yeah
But she's got her ways
She's just a woman
Not just a woman
She's complicated
With an easy smile
She is a genius
But she don't see it
She is a dream
In your waking hour
She'll never say what you should
Already know by now
Sometimes you'll swear
She can read your mind
At times she'll seem as if
She's broken down
Yeah, but everything that's perfect
Gets a little worn, little worn down
Little worn down, yeah
Little worn down
Oh well, oh well
Guess you've got it all worked out so far
You adjust your reason
Until you see the light from where you are
But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the worst part
You can only say that what you want
Is where you are
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Oh well, oh well
It never took a lot to make this hard
'Cause you're so off balance
And I knew all the words to set you off
But you can never win
You can never lose
That's the scorned heart
Then you throw your head back
And you laugh at where we are
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Gasoline, gasoline, gasoline
You're beautiful, girl
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Won't you listen to me?
Well, I tried so hard
To give you what you need
And it burned like gasoline
Burned like gasoline
If you feel so bad
Why don't you just give it up?
If its hard on you now
Then it won't let up
Hand me down my cigarettes
I'm drunk but I ain't drinking no more
Help me fight my way down through the hall
Redirect my sympathies
I tripped, I fell and lost them
Somewhere in between my outstretched arm
And the wall
And it makes me feel weak
To say the least
Beneath these dusty streets
We show more
Make me feel like less and less of a man
If you feel so bad
Why don't you just give it up?
If its hard on you now
Then it won't let up
Maybe you just had enough
Or maybe you've been trying too hard
Maybe no one ever let you down
In the end there's you and me
Don't trip, don't get lost, I'm right here
Waiting 'til you come back down to the earth
So if you feel so bad
Why don't you just give it up?
If it's hard on you now
Then it won't let up
Ah yeah
You don't need to please me
You don't need to be uneasy
I've been too long gone for you to save me
So if you feel so bad
Why don't you just give it up?
If it's hard on you now
Then it won't let up
If you feel so bad
And if you feel so bad
Yeah, well if you feel so bad
Esqueça tudo isso, tire esse peso dos seus ombros
Não percebe que a parte mais difícil já passou?
Deixe dentro de você, deixe sua claridade te definir
No final o que passamos serão apenas lembranças
Nossas vidas são feitas desses pequenos momentos
Desses pequenos milagres, dessas mudanças e voltas do destino
O tempo passa, mas esses pequenos momentos, esses pequenos momentos permanecem
Deixe para lá, deixe seus problemas ficarem para trás
Deixe brilhar até sentir tudo a sua volta
Não me importo se é comigo com quem você precisa desabafar
Nós vamos superar tudo. No fim o que realmente importa é o coração
Nossas vidas são feitas desses pequenos momentos
Desses pequenos milagres, dessas mudanças e voltas do destino
O tempo passa, mas esses pequenos momentos, esses pequenos momentos permanecem
Toda a minha aflição desaparecerá de algum modo
Mas não posso me esquecer como que me senti agora
Nossas vidas são feitas desses pequenos momentos
Desses pequenos milagres, dessas mudanças e voltas do destino
It's early
Honey put on your lipstick
I want to take you dancing
Even though I can't dance
I'll drive
Down to the place on the west side
Somewhere we can't see the sun rise
A better than even chance
[Chorus:]
Another Saturday is over
And here comes Sunday shining through
And I can stay right here forever
Sunday morning New York blue
Downtown
Girls who wear boots with their ball gowns
Looking for boys with their guards down
Maybe they might just win
Someday
When we get old and our hair's grey
We won't remember the bad days
Or maybe we will but we won't say
[Chorus]
Feeling just the way I do
We're dancing our way into
Every time I look at you
The world just melts away
All my troubles, all my fears
Dissolve in your affection
You see me at my weakest
But you take me as I am
When I fall you offer me a softer place to land
You stay the course, you hold the line
You keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire
You save me, complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
I get mad so easy
But you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say, you'll do
Because you're too good to fight about it
Even when I have to push
Just to see how far you'll go
You won't stoop down to battle but
You never turn to go
You stay the course, you hold the line
You keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire
You save me, complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
Love is just the antidote
Nothing else can cure me
There are times I can't decide
When I cant tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy
Otherwise I'd drown
But you pick me up and brush me off
You tell me I'm okay
Sometimes that's just what we need
To get us through the day
You stay the course, you hold the line
You keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire
You save me, complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
You stay the course, you hold the line
You keep it all together
You got hurt bad
Man, who don't?
There's those who will help and those who won't
I would then - You know me
It starts up here
It brings you down
Cry me a river I'll try not to drown
I'm thick skinned - you know me
(chorus)
Yeah, you know everything
Sometimes I feel so small
I'm not that stong but I'd sure like to be
but you know me
After years it starts to turn
I get together and you get burned
Younger then - you know me
I don't say what could have been
I don't say nothing these wall are thin
I'm paranoid baby - you know me
(chorus)
Yeah, you know everything
Sometimes I feel so small
I'm not that strong but I'd sure like to be
but you know me
You know me I'm always sorry
sorry - always
I got a lot of problems
and my problems won't change
and you know it makes me feel bad
I feel bad always
You make me feel bad - always
(chorus)
Yeah, 'cause you know everything
sometimes I feel so small
I'm not that strong but I'd sure like to be
so just tell me everything
and I will be your friend
I guess he didn't feel that good today
He headed to the airport on his motorcycle
Said he liked the sound it made
And then he mumbled to me something about
Love and what it cost
He said, "If all the world is over
Then man, I would get lost if I were you
Now what would you do?"
I remember shades of summer
The winter sets and it's gone, yes
But it's all good now take it easy
Don't get soul sick
The winter sets and it's gone, yes
But it's all good now
I guess that we were all a shade of green
We catered to the postcard view
'Cause our lives weren't in half the bloom
Of his worst day
Then one by one the conversations
Got too long or just got old
And we were past the point of selling
All day
Staring at the ceiling Making
friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
