It may not be the best one
It may not be like the rest of 'em
But she makes it sound so sweet
The melodies she makes it's saying
On her red guitar
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
It's been through hell
Oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to...
Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar
She plays a song only I can hear
The same old song
That she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully
On her red guitar, yeah
Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want, but how long can you wait
Every moment lasts forever when you feel you've lost your way
What if my chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
So here I am — still holding on!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've heard every lie
I've risked being safe but I always knew why
I always knew why
So here I am - still holding on!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule cause there's nothing between you and your dreams
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
Yeah
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
This city's gonna break your heart
It's gonna leave you colder
Bright light's tearing us apart
It's gonna hurt all over
Honestly I'm better off lonely
Promises are just pretend
God help this face I'm wearin'
God help this skin
We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it
I'm searching for the sound of your heartbeat
I'm looking for a sign of life
And I can hear it fading out
Lost my stregth
When you lost your fight
Honestly you're better off lonely
Promises are just pretend
God help this faith I'm wearin'
God help this place
We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it
There's gonna be thousand ways that we could break it
There'll never be an easy way so I'll just say it
Cause I know that it is not over
No matter how hard we try
Now I'm begging for the chance to make it right
Cause you've got the best of me
And you'll be the death of me
We can run
We can hide
We can show off our guns and put on a fight
If it's love
Hold on tight, hold on tight
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Maybe we'll make it out alive
Drive out to see you
Been a long time
No expectations
Can't wait for her smile
Just friends this time
White dress is shinin'
She's lookin' so fine
Try to remember
Slipped my mind
Now we're just friends this time
Didn't mean for the kiss to come in
Wasn't part of the script that was gave
Please forgive
Wipe it away
Wipe it away
Don't let me stay
'Cause I got nothin' for you
No promises
I'm just in your ocean
I'll give you your room
Didn't mean for that kiss to come in
Wasn't part of the script that was gave
Please forgive
Wipe it away
Wipe it away
Won't you drive away
'Cause I'm no good for you
There's no place
In this place
That was built for you
Didn't mean for that kiss to come in
Wasn't part of the script that was gave
Please forgive
Wipe it away
Unspoken, in silence
Let's stay here tonight
There's no reason to ask me
Cause you know what's inside
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me
At sundown on the freeway
Is no place for goodbyes
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me
I've got a different ending to our story
I know it's hard for you to hear it through
But listen as I read
Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
I see you girl walking over here
Can't look away
I see you left a trail of broken hearts
On your way to me
I've tried to not let it show
But I know that you know, yeah
You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
There's something about the way
You make me feel
I'm ready to confess
That you take my heart
And baby, I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you I'll be alright
You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
24 hours a day ain't nearly enough, no way
To get to know you from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please baby, don't make me wait
I'm at your door, I need more
More, more, more, more, ohhh
You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay away from you, ohhh
Wake up if you believe
Love is not a fading dream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Who feels this way right now
Lonely needs a friend
Ask him where he's been
You could be the Light that comes
And turns his world around
I don't wanna run, I don't wanna hide
When someone needs somebody
I don't wanna say, I don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong
When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Singing

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Come on someone tell this girl she's beautiful
We don't gotta run, we don't gotta hide
When someone needs somebody
We don't need to say, we don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong
When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

I'm a person that you're tryin' not to be
I'm better wastin' my time I've got down packed so easily
Some people they call me they call me lucky
Sittin' on my throne not doin' a thing
Well verybody's passin' me on this road I'm on
I gotta pack my things
Get ready to go
Send me on my way no
And if you could would you please pay my toll
'Cause I gotta get out of this place and
This wastin' time
It's gettin' old
Well I've been writin' all these verbs down and I don't know why
'Cause I got no action I got no action I got no action in my life
It's easy livin' your life doin' the things the way I do
But if you give it up you better start runnin' 'cause it'll catch up to you
Well everybody's passin' you on this road you're on
You gotta pack your things
And get ready to go
Send me on my way no
And if you could would you please pay my toll
'Cause I gotta get out of this place and
This wastin' time
Well it's gettin' old
Everybody's passin' me so damn slow they're wrong
I gotta pack my things
And get ready to go
Oh get ready to go
Get ready to go
Ah oh get ready to go
Get ready to go
Get ready to go
Get ready to go
Get ready to go
Get ready to go
Ah oh get ready to go
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
This time you say it's for good
You've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in hands
And your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I'm not giving up yet
And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care or are you already gone?
So take your time
As you're headed for the door
Cause I might find
The right words to say
If you give me a second move
I'm no good at goodbye
And my pride's here to see
That I won't let you go
As you walk out on me
And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
I wish I could make you stay,
Take this love, before you go
And if it's all that I am, let me ask you again
Cause I need to be sure
Is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
If I crawl on my knees, would you come back to me?
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this insanity? (yeah)
What's she want from me? (yeah)
Roads in front of me
Taking me straight
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm saying?
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Feel like I'm trying to breathe under water
Trying to climb but I keep falling farther
Will you take my hand?
Feels so far away
I want to see your face
Are you even there?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I always played you songs
To say what I never could
Other people say it better
Say it better than I would
But for every word left unsaid
I thought you understood
It was easier to kiss you
Than to tell you how I feel
Oh and I don't want to lose you
But you can't see that through your tears
You're saying that I hurt you
But I had no idea...
(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)
Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face
What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
You're not one of my boys
You can't get inside my mind
I'm not one of your girlfriends
Who's gonna see it from your side
What you lay on the table
Well I choose to keep inside
(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)
Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face
What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face
There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation
What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we could talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
All over my face
All over my face
When it's written all over my face
All over my face
There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
I've never been the one
For saying the right thing
And I messed up again
Broke your heart
Without even trying
And I blamed it on you
But there is no evidence for my case
And I know the truth
But I still can't point the blame in my face
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
You probably know
That you did nothing this time
But I made it known
That I'm not gonna give up being right
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
I'll leave you alone tonight
So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices trying to reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake
Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain
I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh, but nothing you say is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring
Oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
So many things are trying to keep me
So many voices trying to reach me
So oh, let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me
From getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

In the night I hear him talk coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo?
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me, you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo, I know there are some things that you ain't told me
And yo, I did some things, but that's the old me
And now you wanna give me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well, I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
In the night I hear him talk the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why were you at 3 a.m. on the phone?
Why does she be so mad at me for?
Homey, I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
'Cause in the night I hear him talk the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk

Somewhere far and far and far he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Oh, 'cause in the night I hear him talk the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Is there somewhere that I need to go
And is there someone to teach me how love goes
Cause I just can't believe
That this is how it's supposed to be
I've had enough
And I don't wanna believe
That love is just a dream
And now we're waking up
So is there someone
To teach me how love goes
Is there some way to get back to May
Yes, and is there someone to show me the way
Cause I forgot how she
Is pretty even when she has just woken up
And I forgot how we
Can't make it through the evening without making love
So is there someone to teach me how love goes
Father told me, son, we'll never really know
So maybe life is just a lesson after all
But I can't wait that long to know
God, what's the secret
Oh, teach me how love goes
Is it in the words I say, is it in the things I do
Is there a way to let her know she's the way I make it through
Is it in the words I say (the words I say)
Is it in the things I do (the things I'll do)
Is there a way to let her know she's the way I make it through
You say you do but you don't,
Just like a carousel, round and round you go,
My patience runs out the door,
You can tell me all the ways that you love me,
But still ain't ever been to my show.
Oh...
-chorus-
Why do you pick me up to watch me fall?
You say you're so in love,
Then turn around and screen my calls?
(M) Foot on the gas...
(K)... the car keep stalling.
(M) A passionate kiss...
(K)... with eyes wide open.
(K/M) Cold then hot, you go then stop,
She loves me, she loves me not.
She loves me not--
You keep me out on a wire,
Somewhere between the "you" and "you and I",
My legs are getting so tired,
From hanging on your every word,
Making up excuses why
You can't make up your mind.
-chorus-
Why do you pick me up to watch me fall?
You say you're so in love,
And then turn around and screen my calls.
(K) Foot on the gas...
(M)... the car keeps stalling.
(K) A passionate kiss...
(M)... with eyes wide open.
(K/M) Cold then hot, you go then stop,
She loves me, she loves me--
-bridge (K)-
Whenever she is lonely,
Or after watching a girly movie, like The Notebook
Or when she needs a hand to hold
(M) He loves me...
-bridge (M)
Whenever it's convenient,
Told myself each time he means it,
I happily play the fool.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh--
Why do you pick me up to watch me fall?
You say you're so in love,
And then turn around and screen my calls?
Why do you pick me up to watch me fall?
You say you're so in love,
And then turn around and screen my calls?
Foot on the gas--car keeps stalling.
A passionate kiss--with eyes wide open.
Cold then hot, you go then stop,
She loves me, she loves me not.
He loves me, he loves me not.
She loves me, she loves me not.
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
And wonders where she is and
It's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty five years have
Come and gone
And she' seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She already knows
She's seen her bad times
She already knows
These are the good times
She'll never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
I don't know you but I want you all the more for that
Words fall through me and always fool me and I can't react
And games that never amount to more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly eyes that know me and I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me and I'm painted black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
Just when you had me down
I go changing my ways
And I wait till the moon is out
It's just part of my game, yeah
This is a cautionary cry to you
Before you figure out what I'm gonna turn into
Just close your eyes and try to think it over
You realize I'm not the man you know, girl
I hypnotize ya
I paralyze ya
Go on and scream 'cause nobody's gonna find ya
(Chorus)
Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me (you've never seen it, you've never seen it)
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me
I've been telling you to run away
But you just say you're not scared
But when I break your heart some day
Girl you need to be prepared
So listen close I got a dirty little secret
The kind that takes away the air you try to breathe in
You won't believe it
Until you feel it
If love is blind I guess that's why you didn't see it.
(chorus)
Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me (you've never seen it, you've never seen it)
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me
Well you don't know what I know
no you don't know what I know
That you're not safe enough
Woo hoo
Woo hoo
Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me (you've never seen it, you've never seen it)
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me
Did I ever think to tell you that I am a monster?
You have never seen this side of me
Maybe I should wear a warning that says that there's danger
If you ever get too close to me
I've never been the one
For saying the right thing
And I messed up again
Broke your heart
Without even trying
And I blamed it on you
But there is no evidence for my case
And I know the truth
But I still can't point the blame in my face
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
You probably know
That you did nothing this time
But I made it known
That I'm not gonna give up being right
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
I'll leave you alone tonight
I'll leave you alone tonight
You say that this life's wearing you out
And you need something to live for
I know what you're talking 'bout
Screaming out loud, top of your lungs
And I bet they're not even listening
I know what you're talking 'bout
So raise your fists and don't forget
We were born to be fighters
We are strong, we're survivors
They can knock you down and make you fall
But we'll get back up, 'cause after all
We're born to be fighters
And we're fighting for our lives
Been through a war, put up a fight
And your heart has taken a beating
I can see it in your eyes
But I see the fire, I feel the flame
And it's burning inside you
I can see it in your eyes
So raise your fists and don't forget
We were born to be fighters
We are strong, we're survivors
They can knock you down and make you fall
But we'll get back up, 'cause after all
We're born to be fighters
And we're fighting for our lives
So raise your fists and don't forget
I'll raise your fists and don't forget
We were born to be fighters
We are strong, we're survivors
They can knock you down and make you fall
But we'll get back up, 'cause after all
We're born to be fighters
We were born to be fighters
We are strong, we're survivors
They can knock you down and make you fall
But we'll get back up, 'cause after all
We're born to be fighters
And we're fighting for our lives
And we're fighting for our lives
This one goes out to you
The one with smoke in her eyes
This one goes out, cause you
You somehow put out the fire
That I was burning in
But now you're caught in it
So if you feel like
It's getting harder to breathe
Just try to hold on
I'll be the air that you need
I swear it's not your fault
But I could break your fall
We'll make it through tonight
'Cause everything is temporary
Every line of every story
Let me be the hero in the one that never ends
'Cause it ain't over till it's over
Wish that I could hold you closer
And we could turn the page, turn the page, turn the pages
Turn the pages
This wasn't meant for you
You know it's never too late
Tomorrow still will come
And this will be yesterday
But right now you're caught in it
A moment of regret
Erase it from your mind, yeah
'Cause everything is temporary
Every line of every story
Let me be the hero in the one that never ends
'Cause it ain't over till it's over
Wish that I could hold you closer
And we could turn the page, turn the page, turn the pages
This one goes out to you (this one goes out to you)
This one goes out to you (this one goes out to you)
So don't get caught in it
We won't get caught in it
'Cause everything is temporary
Every line of every story
Let me be the hero in the one that never ends
'Cause it ain't over till it's over
Wish that I could hold you closer
And we could turn the page, turn the page, turn the pages
Everything is temporary
Every line of every story (turn the pages)
Let me be the hero in the one that never ends
'Cause it ain't over till it's over
Wish that I could hold you closer
And we could turn the page, turn the page, turn the pages
Here's a little song for my one and only
She's the one I want, Yeah
She's the one for me
Ever since I met her
Never been lonely
Yeah, she fliped my switch and I was gone
My friends all say, I never hang out
Though, they never see me anymore
But when I'm with her
There ain't no doubt
She's everything I'm looking for
Said I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
She's the kinda girl you never get over
Give her all I got, Yeah
This is what I told her;
You give me crazy love, crazy love
I can't get enough, get enough...
She got my T-shirt on, with a sleepy smile
And walks into the kitchen
She's so beautiful in the morning light
I had to stop to check my vision
Said I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
Here's a little song for my one and only
She's the one I want, Yeah
She's the one for me
You give me crazy love, crazy love
I can't get enough, get enough
My friends all say, I never hang out
Though, they never see me anymore
But when I'm with her
There ain't no doubt
She's everything I'm looking for
Said I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
I... can't help myself
I'm in love with a girl, with a girl
I'm screaming from the rooftops
All over the world now
You know...
That I'm goin' away
But I'll be back soon
There's things I gotta do
So don't you even dare
Give me that "come back" stare
Cuz you know I'm not that strong
Need to say good-bye
But every time I try
Something you do
Pulls me back into you
So tell the driver please
That I'm not gonna need
His services tonight, no
Cuz you got a way
Of making me stay
You got my heart in your hands
You got a way
Of saying my name
That I can't resist
You got a way
With me
[instrumental break]
No matter how I try
I just can't say good-bye
When I see that smile
It makes me stay for a while
So we're not gonna leave
Until the autumn trees
Turn from red to winter gray
(that's what I say)
You got a way
Of making me stay
You got my heart in your hands
Ahhh
And you got a way
Of saying my name
That I can't resist
You got a way
With me
No I can't resist
You got a way
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night,
wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore,
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better to me than I've been to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
(repeat and fade):
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Ooooh Ooooh
In the middle of the pouring rain
On a crowded subway train
When I'm just about to go insane
You make it go away
Monday morning in a traffic jam
And I'm going to be late again
The world is getting underneath my skin
I see you smiling
And know that it's going to be okay
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
Cuz baby it's always better with you
Girl when I'm alone
You're where I belong
Cuz baby it's always better with you
Oohhh Ohhh
Baby it's always better with you
You make a bad day better than good
You make me feel better than I should
You understand when I'm misunderstood
Like no one else ever could
And girl you show me things I never see
If you were never there to see them with me
And when I get a little too crazy
You are my sanity
And everything will be okay
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
Cuz baby it's always better with you
Girl when I'm alone
You're where I belong
Cuz baby it's always better with you
Ooooh Ooooh
Baby it's always better with you
Girl it doesn't matter where we go
Cuz you always make it feel like it's home
When I'm with youuu
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
Cuz baby it's always better with you
Girl When I'm alone
You're where I belong
Cuz baby it's always
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
Cuz baby it's always better with you
And when I'm alone
You're where I belong
Cuz baby it's always better
You could break this silence with words we wish we'd never said
But I can hear it like a scream
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night or am I going crazy?
I'm just trying to understand who I was and who I am
But you are changing just the same
So can you tell me who's to blame?
Could we put our weapons down just to figure this out
Now pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone
If you say that it's too late those are words my heart can't take
And this night is out to kill and if we let it will
Could be both forgive somehow?
'Cause I'm not letting you down
Now pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone
Watch out, here we go
There's no turning back, you know
We can keep going round and round and round and round
So now pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone
Pride is out the door 'cause I know we can make it before
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone
These old shoes ain't gettin' any younger
This young mind ain't gettin' any so don't bother
Take me around and show me what you got back there
'Cause I got some questions and I need you to care
I'll take your hand if you take mine
Baby, I'll figure it out this time
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in I was plagued by men
You stood behind me when I was covered by that shadow of a doubt
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I know, well, it was dark and cold
And now I need some brand new shoes
Oh oh oh
These steps I'm climbin', they're gettin' a little steeper
This sea I'm swimmin' is gettin' a little deeper no no no
All these obstacles, seems it's gettin' harder and harder to get through no
Guess I'm gonna need a little help from you oh
Show me the way and I'll get by
Baby, I'll take a listen oh this time
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in that was plagued men
You stood behind me when I was covered by that shadow of a doubt
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I know, well, it was dark and cold
And now I need some brand new shoes
One too many times
Said I could do this on my own
Now you're in charge
Bring me back from this place that I've known
You brought me up and you took me out
Of that place that I was in that was plagued by men
You stood behind me when I was covered by that shadow of a doubt
I ran away when you called my name
Down that road that I know, well, it was dark and cold
And now I need some brand new shoes
And now I need some brand new shoes
Walking through this strange and crowded place
Imagining your face, fighting my way through
Oh I feel you getting close with every step
With all that I have left
I'm reaching out for you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
If I was blindfolded
My fingers trace the outline of your shape
And recognize the way you pull me into you
Oh you're calling out to me
Not saying a thing
You're everything I need
And all that I could never, ever lose
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
You're the gravity that's taken hold of me
Every time I lose my way
It's the chemistry
More than eyes can see
And no matter where I am
I will still find you
I will still find you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you
If I was blindfolded
If my memory was erased
If every sign pointed to another place
I'd still find you
I will still find you
I'd still find you

I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be
It takes a lifetime
Oh beautiful moon
Sing me your song
Make it slow
And sweet
If you can
Oh beautiful moon
Don't worry 'bout the clouds in the sky
'Cause they'll all
Wash away
With the time
This back porch singin' praises
And when the smoke leaves
I see your faces
Oh beautiful moon
When it's dark out tonight
I thank God
For givin' you your life
Oh beautiful moon
When you're all alone
There's no stars
Where they all go
The city lights they hide your graces
And when the smoke leaves
I'll see your faces
This back porch singin' praises
And when the smoke leaves
I'll see your faces
Oh beautiful moon
Sing me your song
Make it slow
And sweet
I've got you
Somehow you
Don't got me
You let me go
But I just can't
Set you free
These words from the eyes
The one
That I love
I'm sorry it hurts
I don't mean to burn
Your eyes
They speak
To me
Like this
I'm hurting inside
No and my heart weeps
Oh darlin'
I'm sorry
But I know you're gettin' tired
Of that phrase
But it's the end of this phase
One more word to say
One more night just looking
In your face
Don't you see
My pain
Strong 'cause you're so calm
Won't you be my lady
Won't you be my lady
Say what you want
But you know we belong
Whether you want to or not
Lonely's gettin' old
I need you to hold
Let's start it all over again
Again
One more word to say
One more night just looking
In your face
No won't you see
My pain
Strong 'cause you're so calm
Won't you be my lady
Won't you be my lady
Oh Mama I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh Mama I can hear you are crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today of the wanted man
Oh Mama I've been years on the lamb and had a high price on my head
Law man said 'Get him dead or alive' and it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear Mama I can hear you cryin' you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
'Cause the judge'll have revenge today on the wanted man
Wanted man yeah
Oh Mama I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today of the wanted man
The jig is up the noose is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This'll be the end today of the wanted man
Wanted man yeah
Oh Mamma I can hear you are crying you're so scared and all alone
Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?
Do you remember
Back in the fall
Wed be together
All day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each others eyes
Wed stare
(Tell me)
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
Wed stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
I'll never let you go
Do you remember
Back in the spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
Remember the times

Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl
Remember the times
Do you. do you, do you,
Do you, do you
Remember the times
In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in spain
Remember the times
What about, what about...
Remember the times
Ooh... in the park
Remember the times
After dark... , do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Yeah yeah
What am I gonna do tonight
When I?m one step closer to the other side
It?s easy to pretend
Tryin' hard not to fade away
But the world?s got me feeling out of place
How will all this end?
It?s so hard to say
Send me all your angels tonight
I?m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Everyday, gotta face the fact that
I?m trying to reach the demons on my back
And I?m hoping to hold on
Don?t wanna make friend tonight
With the faces, with the faces
Not this time
When will all this end?
Just give me a sign
Send me all your angels tonight
I?m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Better days are sure to come
I don?t wanna come undone
So show me what I?m living for, yeah
Send me all your angels tonight
I?m barely hanging on the edge of lonely
Trying to turn this all around before I
Hit the ground and end up face down
Send me all your angels, now
Send me all your angels now
Send me all your angels, now
Oh, ooh
What am I gonna do tonight
Lovely walking to me
All dressed up for the party
She'll be talked about tomorrow
But she
Won't see the eyes
That stay
Lovely tells me she loves me
As we walk through the screen
She won't know but
There'll be songs about
The way she looks
Tonight in a gown
Crimson red and floats
Through the room as we waltz on the floor
The spotlight on her
She's lovely
Oh she's lovely
She's so lovely
The night when she's in
Lovely still dancing with her feet on the floor
You would think she could float
She looks back at me
She's ready to go
With that smile on her face
She's lovely
She's so lovely
Lovely walking with me
As we leave from the party
She has the blues
But all I can do is think
The way she looks
Tonight in a gown
Crimson red and floats
Through the room as we waltz on the floor
The spotlight on her
She's lovely
She's lovely
Tonight in a gown
Crimson red and floats
Through the room as we waltz on the floor
The spotlight on her
She's lovely
Oh she's lovely
Sunny days come and gone away
And she has let her mind take control today
Head spinnin' round and around it goes
She looks up in the sky and wonders what she knows
She is on her way
She is on her way
On her way to make it all make sense
Sunny days come and gone away
And he is wanderin' through this life with no one to blame
Heart spinnin' round and around it goes
He's starin' at the sky lookin' for someone who knows
He is on his way
He is on his way
On his way to make it all make sense
Her mind is blowin' in the breeze
Well I've been there
I've been there
His heart it blows like a tumbleweed
Well I've been there
I've been there
I know
That you
Have questions
And oh
I know
That you
Don't know where to start and oh
Just wait
You'll see
It get's better
Don't give up
When you're on your knees
Because
You are on your way
You are on your way
On your way to make it all make sense
You are on you way
You are on you way
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you lost your way
And what if my chances were already gone?
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!
I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets?
Don't know where the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why!
So hear I am still holding on!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you and your dreams
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
Yeah! There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries!
With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries
Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
And the way you look tonight
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
That touches my foolish heart
Love lead towards you
Never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
And the way you look tonight
Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half
It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...
Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right...

(Verse)
Don't want to complicate it, tired of playing games with you
So I'm gonna come right out and finally tell you how I feel about you
You're kind of crazy, but that's what I luv about you
(Chorus)
You're gonna kill me, but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me, but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key!
Cuz I am yo prisoner, and don't set me free
Yeah, I am yo prisoner but don't set me free!
(Verse)
There's something in your eyes that I never ever seen before
It's a sway in your walk and a vibe in your talk
And every little way that you turnin' me on
You're kind of crazy, but that's what I luv about you
(Chorus)
You're gonna kill me, but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me, but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key!
Cuz I am yo prisoner, and don't set me free
Yeah, I am yo prisoner but don't set me free!
(Bridge)
Far as I can see there's no way out
You have got my heart chained up no doubt
But I want it that way, I want it that way, oh yeah
You're kind of crazy, but that's what I luv about you
(Chorus)
You're gonna kill me, but I'll die with a smile
And you're gonna break me, but you'll do it in style
So lock all the doors and throw away the key!
Cuz I am yo prisoner, and don't set me free
Yeah, I am yo prisoner but don't set me free!
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Couple of lovebirds kissing on the corner
Couldn't help but remind me of you
Halfway through dialing your number
You know it's true, I wanted to.
Took a stroll down sunset boulevard
Heard an old man singing the blues
Halfway through writing you a love song
You know it's true, I wanted to.
Sunrise on the east side
Want to wake up next to you
But I'm dreaming on the west side
Trying to find my way to you.
Tell me you want me
Speechless and I'm shaking
Tell me you need me
You better believe me when I say that you are my weakness
You are my weakness and you get me every time
Tired of flipping through the channels on the tv
Nothing on could shake you out of my mind
So I grab my coat and I'm out the door
I'm just killing time til you're by my side
Too many places get in the way of bringing you back into view
Sunrise on the east side
Want to wake up next to you
But I'm dreaming on the west side
Trying to find my way to you.
Tell me you want me
Speechless and I'm shaking
Tell me you need me
You better believe me when I say that you are my weakness
You are my weakness and you get me every time
Caught in the middle of the storm, you are my shelter
When all that I see is black and white, you are the color
Nothing can stop me, no distance too great to cover
All I want to hear you say
Tell me you want me
Speechless and I'm shaking
Tell me you need me
You better believe me when I say that you are my weakness
You are my weakness
You are my weakness
When you fall you're fallin' hard
And you won't know what it's gonna be
Next time you end up face down
With you head slightly under your feet
Where will you go when the door finally slumps you out
When you're feelin' a little down
And out
Runnin' from it all
Don't you get a little thought
Lookin' back over your shoulder
Baby soon you'll realize
That it's all in your head but oh no no
Does your kickin' up ever fade away
Someone will pick you up and say
That it's okay
But you're runnin' from it all
I know you think you've got me down
Maybe you just lost yourself and don't know how
It's sometimes all taken out
Won't you take it catch your breath and you'll find out
That you're runnin' from yourself
Runnin' from yourself
Runnin' from yourself
Someday you will open up
Until that day I won't give up
Until you're done
Runnin' from it all
Yeah
Oh oh
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough?
'Til it's to late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done?
Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
Should be so careful who we left out of our lives
And when we long for absolution, there will be no one on the line
Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
You never see a crash 'til it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong?
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
Yeah, gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying
Maybe I got used to your face,
Maybe we ran out of things to say
I heard a voice in the back of my head
Telling me don't you wanna come and taste it!
Into the night, into the wild
Came like a hunger and I had to chase it
I know I had to let you go
But I had to find out on my own
That you were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! no matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
To prove it to you
You are the face in all my dreams
(Give me a chance, give me a chance)
All of the memories haunting me
I hear your voice in the back of my head
Sounding a lot like coming back
So I ran into your eyes, into the fight
What will you do if I do that!
I know I had to let you go
But I had to find out on my own
That you were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! no matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
To prove it to you
Feel like I'm out here lost
Counting away the cost
So, will you give me a chance, give me a chance
I know I had to let you go
But I had to find out on my own
You were always the one
I don't think I deserve you,
But I feel like I'm gonna love you
For all my life! no matter what I do!
Give me a chance, give me a chance
Oh, won't you give me a chance, give me a chance
To prove it to you!
They're pickin' up the prisoners and puttin' them in the pen
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
Rebels been rebels since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is dance
Molotov cocktail, the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
They mix 'em up right in the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance
Crazy people walkin' 'round with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
Wild-eyed pistols wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat, 'comin off the street now
She wants to party, she wants to get down
And all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance
The government bugged the men's room in the local disco lounge
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
To keep the boys from sellin' all the weapons they could scrounge
And all she wants to do is dance
But that don't keep the boys from makin' a buck or two
And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance
They still can sell the army all the drugs that they can do
And all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat, 'comin off the street now
She wants to party, she wants to get down
And all she wants to do is, all she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat, 'comin off the street now
She wants to party, she wants to get down
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I can hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There aint nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
Ohhh... To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
Down on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You aint see nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you
Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
Feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And I can't control following you
But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
I know you better than you know
You can fight but it's not over
I say to stop but you start to go
I guess that means it's L-O-V-E
I say to look but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm begging you, please
But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
