Of all the things that I could be doing I'm up hours trying to make something of you I got a new set of strings, not a word to settle on I been causing scenes at an ending I knew all along
And it serves me right, I guess For gladly volunteering for a good kick in my chest It serves me right, I guess For pretending not to notice I was settling for less
Fat and happy, fixed and puffed up for a while Nothing could shake me, that is, until you changed your smile Suddenly, I'm defenseless and defamed While you get everything you want without giving up your game
It serves me right, I guess For gladly volunteering for a good kick in my chest It serves me right, I guess For pretending not to notice I was settling for less
And I can't seem to get clean from the magic you bring
Yeah, I'm easy for ever spending time so carelessly Just living for your line And I'm crazy for thinking love has changed Still trading all my finest hours for one ordinary day
It serves me right, I guess For gladly volunteering for a good kick in my chest It serves me right, I guess For pretending not to notice I was settling for less
Thank the Lord love is blind Immeasurable through other people's eyes What I see is beauty to me What I see is beauty
This is a song About a heart that's found its beat This is a song About a brand-new bright morning This is the start of a love engaged in raging fire
Thank the Lord for shades of gray Where absolutes will absolutely change And what I bring is perfect timing What I bring is perfect timing
This is a song About a heart that's found its beat This is a song About a brand-new bright morning This is the start of a love engaged in raging fire
And it's frightening to be tangled To give your heart away for someone to betray I keep coming to the table To find that love has grown, and once again I'm blown away
Finally, I'm on the edge of my seat Can it be I'm on the edge of my seat?
This is a song About a heart that's found its beat This is a song About a brand-new bright morning This is the start of a love engaged in raging fire
Five minutes in heaven Is this all that we get? What a way to go Five minutes in heaven Breathe that scream into me What a sad little show
It feels like love Not some rigged-up holiday Where I believe in somebody who can bring me down again It feels like love Is this how you make me pay? Branding me with deep cuts that will never go away
Five minutes in heaven Did you stage this yourself? Every twist and turn Five minutes in heaven What a masterpiece Will we ever learn?
It feels like love Not some rigged-up holiday Where I believe in somebody who can bring me down again It feels like love Is this how you make me pay? Branding me with deep cuts that will never go away
Five minutes in heaven Is this all that we get? Just a shadow, just a screen Five minutes in heaven Would you paint that smile made for me Just to wipe it clean?
It feels like love Not some rigged-up holiday Where I believe in somebody who can bring me down again It feels like love Is this how you make me pay? Branding me with deep cuts that will never go away
When everything is wrong You are a sad, sad song Do you have a name? Do you like what I play?
When the lights go out How come you're still around? No knocks at the door No one comes here anymore You pick me up off the floor whenever I fall Or anytime at all
When I come apart You climb into my guitar You make me mean what I say You're my comfort and my bane
When I start to shine You like to stay behind When my heart starts to swell Do you smile to yourself If they clap and they yell or make me feel small Or anytime at all?
How did you know that I needed you inside? How did you know that I needed you inside?
If my star should fade I will not be afraid Trading licks till the end Me and my old, old friend
You made me mad What was I supposed to say? The choice I had was to turn the other way But I saw you dance and everything changed Everything changed
At the heart of this thing I had such good intentions You never mentioned that you wouldn't last the day At the heart of this thing I'm no good at pretending I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say
Out of my mind And I'm on some kind of chase While you decide just to lock yourself away But you're sure to shine, and you know I can dream You know I can dream
At the heart of this thing I had such good intentions You never mentioned that you wouldn't last the day At the heart of this thing I'm no good at pretending I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say
Baby, I've got such a good feeling about you And I just can't shake it loose
I'll survive But I'd rather go down in a fight Aw, baby, be brave Come on, baby, be brave
At the heart of this thing I had such good intentions You never mentioned that you wouldn't last the day At the heart of this thing I'm no good at pretending I couldn't help resenting what I would never hear you say
Didn't know what I was missing till I caught sight of you Melt down my ammunition I willingly defuse You're something else
Keeping my head out of my head I curse my old familiar way Of bracing for the weather On a perfectly clear day You're something else Something else
Gardenia, out of my reach Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me?
My hour of temporary blindness Stunned like a sleepwalk slapped awake Wrestling my leaning to define this Learning to live with extra space And you're something else Something else
Gardenia, out of my reach Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me?
There is no word grand enough For this extraordinary love that has overcome
Didn't know what I was missing till I caught sight of you Now everything looks different, so wonderfully different
Gardenia, out of my reach Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me? Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me?
You got me seeing stars Every time you come around Delivering your part Bleeding down the boulevard You got me wavering And I'm wasted from the words you sing I'm taking on your trend Even if I never win
Hey, baby Thre is always room for another one like you we can hold onto
Now you're taken for granted Every time you come around, you're gonna end up damaged Or permanently disenchanted Who could've guessed Center stage on air guitar, that cheers of thousands inside our heads Was the best that this would ever get?
Hey, baby There is always room for another one like you we can hold onto
We're trading trash for trash here in L.A. Hey, hey
There is always room for another one like you we can hold onto
Where did everybody go After the ride had ended? At the death of the last note The halls were already empty
Nobody is safe from heartache We handle what we're given But to stand in the face of heartache Maybe that's the hardest part of living
Down Highway 51 Mississippi, 1964 The day you gave away someone Lost to a different kind of war
Nobody is safe from heartache We handle what we're given But to stand in the face of heartache Maybe that's the hardest part of living
All decked out in your camouflage paint Stalking a ghost you will never escape There's no shortcut detour around disaster To gain the things that matter
Early morning, desperate call You never had a chance The first hand that broke your fall He only wanted one dance
Nobody is safe from heartache We handle what we're given But to stand in the face of heartache Maybe that's the hardest part of living
