You are an inferno, you are on fire
Your smoke and your flames climb higher You light up the sky, you set the world blazing You're the heat that all of us are chasing If I told you I could put you out, I'd be a liar All I can do is throw myself into you You make me a liar You make me a liar You are a storm way out on the ocean Fifty foot waves rise up in slow motion In the middle of the day, you paint the whole world black Even the air around you is under attack Watching you, safe out here in the open All I can do is steer straight into you You make me a liar You make me a liar You are an angel, you are in the sky You light the world up when you open your eyes When you breathe you make the warm wind blow When your tears fall the flowers grow Nobody can reach you but I'm going to try All I can do is jump straight up to you Ooh, you make me a liar Yeah, you make me a liar |

You are you and I am I
We are we even after we die When we get to heaven, will we still have eyes? Will we make love? Will we still get high? C'mon, throw your hands up in the oxygen Wave them around like you don't know where the time went In heaven will we still need pagers? Will there be self-defense? Will there be danger? In heaven will we still need cell phones? Will it be cold? Will we have heated homes? So throw your hands up in the oxygen A lifetime lived is a lifetime well spent You got to believe it, there's no way to prove it Show me where you hurt and I'll try to soothe it Give me everything and I'll never lose it Never get a change if you never get to use it So throw your hands up in the oxygen Wave them around like you don't know where the time went So throw your hands up in the oxygen A lifetime lived is a lifetime well spent Never have I seen such a beautiful day Never have I seen the sky look this way Illuminated by the words you say Everywhere you step there is no gray You got to throw your hands up in the oxygen You got to throw your hands up in the oxygen |

Remember when the sun rose and then it set
Because of the smallest little things that we said Remember when the earth tilted and it spun Around the slightest thing that each of us had done I won't be hanging round While this all comes crashing down 'Cause I'm lifting off Lifting off You made the universe spring up in full bloom Every time that you floated into my room We sent all of the stars shooting across the sky With just the opening and the closing of our eyes Remember when the waves formed tsunami walls Every time you picked up the phone to call me I won't be hanging round While this all comes crashing down 'Cause I'm lifting off Lifting off Lifting off I won't be hanging round While this all comes crashing down 'Cause I'm lifting off I won't be hanging round While this all comes crashing down 'Cause I'm, I'm lifting off I'm lifting off This fog is burning off Love is turning off I'm getting off this train I'll never forget your name I remember when we were in the pouring rain |

If your life ever flashes before your eyes
I hope it's me that you see If they ever make a movie about you I hope there's a part about me and I hope it's a leading role Don't put it out, let it burn Pour lighter fluid on it, it only takes one spark You've got to let it You've got to let it Come on, let it Yeah, you've got to let it |

You've got to turn the trick that makes me tick
I want to put you on, see if you fit So wrap your arms and legs around my arms and legs I need to know how long we can stay this way A hundred yards away, you make me explode Up close you're activating motherload Baby, I want to see if the sun shines where you are I've held my breath since the day I was born I've felt all alone since the cord was torn But when you look at me I get a sharp intake I never bend and then I always break Even when I'm early I'm always too late You make me involuntarily not hesitate Baby, I want to see if the sun shines where you are So don't doubt it We've lived without it Come on, shout it Oh, come on, scream it Act like you mean it We didn't dream it This is the feeling This is the real thing This is the reason |

Fall to the floor, you're always looking for more,
It's a quarter to six, but I've been up since four. We don't wake up without a yawn, get your bowl of cereal, turn your TV on. Sit down at the computer but I see the pile of bills, Round here it's everybody else's pockets but ours to fill. Wanna know what my last will and testament says? "All of this, to you." Wanna pick up my guitar but it's time to take you off to school. And there you are. And I drop you off but I forgot your change of clothes and your lunch And you look me up and down with a frown, Til you crack a smile -- Put me down, you say, aw, come on Daddy, you gonna pick me up from school today? You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. At quarter to three.. Just when I'm starting to get creative, Time to catch a cab back down to 13th street. You're standing on the steps with your teachers, Lookng for me, saying All the other babysitters came already. Well I'm your dad and five minutes waiting for me can't be that bad. I want to take you to the zoo. I want to take you to the museum of natural history. And on the way, on the subway, somebody stands up, Starts screaming about how he's got God, And all the rest of us better start believe him. You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. Oh, oh.. you got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. YOu fall asleep on the way back home; By the time your eyes open, I've carried you all the way To our door from the subway. And when you look up at me, I wondered just what you see. The last five years blew by so fast; Every second more these moments are passing. How much of this will you remember? Store your face in my mind forever With a free hand, find a key in my pocket, Stick it into the door to unlock it. Lay you down on the bed with your favorite pillow under your head. Just when I think you're back to asleep, you look up and then you say I need a glass of water. You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. You got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. Oh, oh.. you got soul and you're always gonna be my girl. |

Are you up? I'm going to come over and you can turn it up
The music and the water, you can soap it up Standing in the shower and it's steaming up Wiping off my glasses 'cause they're fogging up Cover up the drain and you can fill it up Wait for the world to turn on Let's get down, I'll find something on my iPod to slow you down Put your hand on the dimmer, turn the lights down Looking at your face you turn me upside down Standing on your bed until we both fall down Lying on the floor, we'll pull the blankets down Wait for the world to turn on Break into a million pieces Scatter ourselves where the ocean freezes Some things never will be over Girl, you are my four leaf clover We both want it, we want it the same way We're ready to get ready and we're waiting for the world to turn on We're ready to get ready and we're waiting for the world to turn on |

I'm just an album track
I'm not the single The only thing that makes me feel good at night Is knowing that I will never be a jingle So if you're looking for more Just press skip 'Cause this is it This is it Where am I anyway? What is this, track 6, 9, or 11? Only place I'll be first or last Will be when I get to heaven So if you're waiting for something else Just move on 'Cause this is all that's going on This is all that's going on They're not taking me to radio They're not taking me to video They're not even making me available On the Internet for free download So if you're waiting for the bridge Don't waste your time This is a straight line Yeah, this is a straight line |

After the gig he gets to talk to the girls while I'm moving the equipment back to 39th street
And then it's 5:15, he slithers home and I flick on the light, I say, "Where the hell have you been?" He says, "We been sampling rare narcotics in the VIP lounge at Danceteria." He says, "We been slipping fingers on a lap dancing booty eyed groupie caught in stages of hysteria." My stunt double is cooler than me So then I'm walking down the street the next day when a girl I've never seen says, "You were so good last night." She says, "Come back to my hotel room, I want to do it, want to do it again with you, yeah, right now." But afterwards she looks at me, she says, "How could you have made me so impressed?" She says, "I've heard of Jekyll and Hyde, but the way you touched me--I was naked, your hands made me feel like I was fully dressed." My stunt double is cooler than me No one seems to want me since he came along |

I'd been sick for the last three days
Laid out in a deep flu haze But two bottles of Red Bull and a fistful of Aleve Pulled me together for New Year's Eve We were lucky to have a sitter And, baby, you know I'm not a quitter Plus we'd promised her twice her pay And she was going to get it whether we went or we stayed So in the only suit I own I watched you pull your dress on I said, "Eldridge," when the cabbie asked, "Where you heading?" An intimate dinner party for luminaries Our table was filled with Tony award winners and the lovers they carried I shouted to you, "You look incredible, your skin is glowing." You shouted back, "It's bronzer but thanks for not knowing." In the unisex bathroom I pulled you close for a kiss 'Cause you're the only thing in this world I can't resist And when we get old we're going to remember this When we get old we're going to remember this As the ball dropped fifty blocks uptown We were off by forty seconds with our countdown But everything's relative and our 3, 2, 1 felt real We can only believe the things we feel Then it was hugs all around the room While in other sunlit parts of the world, flowers bloomed For so many time zones this moment had passed And now it was here but we weren't the last Our friends in L.A. were still getting dressed People in Hawaii were still getting disco rest Pretending the best but expecting the worst All my life these celebrations have been so poorly rehearsed But when I turned and saw you I realized that this would be a first You give me balance while you make me unsteady You complicate the world but you make me ready I pulled you across the table for a kiss, 'cause you're the only thing I can't resist And when we get old we're going to remember this [music] Jump into a cab on Allen Street Get a glare from the couple we barely beat Home free twenty blocks away The Aleve's worn off but I feel okay Call the sitter on the cell, everything's fine Our daughter went straight to sleep, sitter had a glass of wine Tell her we're almost there, she says, "Take your time." So the taxi keeps driving while I give you a kiss 'Cause you're the only thing in this world I can't resist And this is one of those moments I'm so glad we didn't miss When everything we've always wanted is right there in the palm of our fists And you're my only resolution and I don't need a list And when we get old we're going to remember this |
