Thought I could But I just can't wait Started planning For the great escape Where I'd live and What I'd leave behind
Made a list of things I'd have to take The things that make me feel like hell For heavens sake Who I'd love and who would tow the line
And I need you Everybody needs someone like you If you need me too You would be the only thing that I'd take On my great escape
I float through this town like a cosmonaut Reminding me of all the things I haven't got Like time and space, a smile on my face and you
(Chorus)
Maybe I'll find that my destination Is somewhere I already know? And you were as far as I ever had to go
And I need you Thought I could, but I just can't wait Everybody needs someone like you Started planning for me great escape If you need me to Who I love and who I'd leave behind You would be the only thing that I'd take with me
I need you Who I'd leave behind Everybody needs someone like you Who I'd leave behind If you need me to You would be the only thing that I take On my great escape
So fine and pretty Fooled me with her style and ease And i feel her from across the room Yes, it's love in the third degree
Ooh, baby, baby Won't cha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, baby Come on, take a chance You're old enough to dance the night away Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away
A live wire Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go She's on fire 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows
Ooh, baby, baby Won't cha turn your head my way? Ooh, baby, bay Well, don't skip romance 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away Dance, dance, dance the night away
Oh, yeah Dance the night away Dance, dance, dance the night away Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away Dance, dance, dance the night away Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away Dance, dance, dance the night away
You watch them watch you You want them to Then their faces fade away You worked your whole life To show them all that you have what it takes to shine
Cause no one has, what you have and no one ever will You have heart and that's all you need
You're gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what it takes, you'll shine
Well, life got complicated and no one ever waited and your son grew into a man and all you wanted was to be loved was strangling all your chances to shine But you'd show them all That you make them fall Cause they didn't understand a thing about the way you'd shine Oh you shine
You're gonna shine for them Shine for them Shine No matter what took you shine
Now you're on the best stage and in your best dress But the show is not for you It's a clown with a frown in from out of town and your hairdo's falling and they're filing out and my God the clown is you
But you dance for someone that smiles at you and drift into the shadows of yourself Off you go
But you shine for him Shine for him Shine And now it's time for them to shine for you
She woke up in a town made of quick sand gets harder to move everyday she stays He woke up in the same hotel he always does just different numbers on the doors Maybe they'll meet Maybe they won't Maybe they'll love each other and... Maybe they don't Shes a gypsy Hes a pirate on the run
Her eyes they know too much She'll treat ya like somebody but you just can't touch His smile ain't seen the light of day Exchanged it for some treasure somewhere along the way Maybe the stars will align so they can sail on together Maybe he'll steal her life and she'll take his heart and his favorite sweater She's a gypsy He's a pirate on the run
Ooh yes, They finally did meet and let me tell ya
We loved, the first and last kind of love
I was perfect for her soul I was perfect for his heart And together we are perfect apart
Back when it was only you and me Baby we were gonna be fine Oh, then reality makes sure that you'll never be mine
I want you and I know you want me too But it's time for you to choose And I know you don't wanna hurt nobody baby But someone's bound to lose
The time has come for me to say It's him you leave or me you stay And I don't wanna see this have to end But it's down to me to let you know I'm strong enough to let you go And strong enough to be more than a friend I want you for my girlfriend
Now I understand that you might need a little helping hand But this has got to be up to you Cause you got me so out of breath If I don't stop now there'll be nothing left So, baby whatcha gonna do
The time has come for me to say It's him you leave or me you stay And I don't wanna see this have to end But its down to me to let you know I'm strong enough to let you go And strong enough to be more than a friend I want you for my girlfriend
Oh I will fight for ya Oh I will fight for you
Don't you know that she is moving my way? Don't you know she wants you on the highway? Don't you know she wants to get sideways? Don't you know she wants to get next to me? And if you want I wanna come right to you And if you want I'm ready to fight for you If you're ready I'm ready to be your boyfriend If you're sure then come and get next to me
Cause I want you and I know you want me too So, baby whatcha gonna do
The time has come for me to say It's him you leave or me you stay And I don't wanna see this have to end But its down to me to let you know I'm strong enough to let you go And strong enough to be more than a friend I want you for my girlfriend I want you for my girlfriend
I'm not so sure where we're going Can you tell me how to get there? And have you been there before
I'm not so sure what you want But you can find me out there somewhere Stuck in some revolving door
I don't need to be rich I don't need to be wise But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't need to be anything Except in your eyes Cause I want to be more that just a ripple in the water yeah There's so many beautiful people in unusual ways Sometimes I feel so intimidated So if you know where you want me Then tell me how to get there Across the river we created, yeah yeah
I don't need to be famous I don't need to be king But I want to be more that just a ripple in the water
I don't need to be first I don't need to be your everything But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't need to make a sunset I don't need to make it rise But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't need to be beautiful Except in your eyes Cause I want to be more
If you want it Oh then tell me come and get it I don't know where it is But I'm right here
Oh I want you And I want to come and get you I don't know where you are Are you out there?
If you want it Oh then tell me that you need it I don't know where it is Or what it is Or why it is Oh if you want it here I am So come and get me, yeah
I don't need to be strong I don't need to be invincible But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't want to be anything Like an old vice principal But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't need to be rich I don't need to be wise But I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
I don't need anything Except in your eyes Cause I want to be more than just a ripple in the water
Seems like it's Always Midnight, Sweeping up broken glass after every fight With the sound of a train that I could've been on Reminding me that the last one's gone. With you, It's always midnight.
Are you blind? Can't you see me standing here waiting in line? For you. Are you mine? Not just when you wanna be all of the time? Are you? Are you blind? Don't you see me standing here Won't you tell me what it is I'm waiting to find..?
You're right, I must be crazy. You're out getting high, I'm here pretending I'm in love.
The sound of your heart, my head on your chest, dropped your hands to your sides and gave up. I'd rather be crazy than right Tonight
Are you blind? Can't you see me standing here waiting in line? For you. Are you mine? Not just when you wanna be all of the time? Are you? Are you blind? Don't you see me standing here Won't you tell me what it is I'm waiting to find..?
A way to get back to you, A way to get out of here, I don't want to be alone At midnight anymore. How do I get away Wanna see you in the daylight I don't wanna be afraid of Midnight anymore
With the sound of a train That I should have been on reminding me that the last one's gone. With you, There's always midnight..
Are you blind? Can't you see me standing here waiting in line? For you. Are you mine? Not just when you wanna be all of the time? Are you? Are you blind? Don't you see me standing here Won't you tell me what it is I'm waiting to find..?
Stand up and get ready for what's coming Stand up breathe in Check your eyes it's about us Mother nature don't lie Its about us Stand up breath in
There's a place in space the captive like to go And I been sleeping on it way to long I'm coning home
And if you're tired and waiting for the sun Raise your hands To shed a little light on everything you've done Raise your hands If you're stuck under a rock and you want to roll I know where to take you if you want to go Raise your hands
Now I've been down before and I'll be down again And I'll be damned if I wont need a true friend Not the kind that's always got to give advice The kind with love, I just need someone who's nice to me Do you know what its like to be so down that up Ain't in sight Now if your with me let me see you stand up and raise your hands
(Chorus) I'll carry you, you carry me I got to be wrong sometimes Teach me how to be strong sometimes I'll stand for you, you stand for me Oh I know that I can count on you Never let the sun set down on you I love you
And if you're tired and waiting for the sun Reach on up and grab it
(Chorus)
I said I know where to take you if you want to go Raise your hands Come on I know where to take you if you want to go Raise your hands
As if the world stopped turnin' And feeling safe just slipped away All the clouds decided they were too divided So they chased the sun away.
Woah now, spirit in the sky can't you see me cry? What didn't I try? Baby, didn't I?
I'm thinkin' bout you (x4) It's all that I can do.
I wrap myself in thoughts of you. And dream this dream that seems to be slipping through my hands They still wanna hold on I can't believe that you're gone. I'm all that's left of you.
I'm thinkin' bout you (x3) I'm thinkin' bout the way I hold on I can't let go. I'm thinkin' bout you. It's all that I can do, is think about you.
You are still that special place In my mind your face, your smell, your touch, your voice, I miss you so much.
Woah yeah, I'm thinkin' bout the way I go on I'm tryin' to get through I can't stop thinkin' bout you, no yeah yeah yeah
I fell for you And I fell on my face Then I reach for you And you walk off without a trace Guess I hardly knew ya I should have gone before I came Then you reach for me and it starts all over again
Ooh My My Ooh you made me wanna wait And then I fell to far too fast Now I think that it's too late
Ooh My My Ooh you made me hesitate And then I worked so hard and fell so far It was hardly worth the wait
I fell for you Till I fell on my face Then I worked for you 24/11 just to keep from losing ground You've got a hold on me And you're stronger than you look Cause when I try to leave ya, it starts all over again
Ooh My My Ooh you made me wanna wait And then I fell to far too fast Now I think that it's too late
Ooh My My Ooh you made me hesitate And then I worked so hard and fell so far It was hardly worth the wait
You invite me to your fire for awhile Then you filled me with desire with your smile And then you push me and I fall another mile No more burning in your fire for awhile
Ooh My My... whoa yeah I'm tired and it's late
Ooh My My Ooh you made me hesitate And then I worked so hard and fell so far It was hardly worth the wait
Ooh My My Ooh you made me wanna wait And then I fell to far too fast Now I think that it's too late
Ooh My My Ooh you made me hesitate And then I worked so hard and fell so far It was hardly worth the wait
I am barely stable. I am afraid to be alone. I am sorry that I always enable, And every day I try to find another way to you.
I can admit to my addictions, And wish I could be a better friend. I am three kinds of crazy, And every day I try to find another way to you
Chorus Someday, we'll be together One day, you'll be back in my arms again Someday, I will be where I belong I've waited so long, For someday.
I know who's to blame and that's a shame, 'Cause I know in the end, it doesn't mean a thing. I am convinced that I'll be back again, And when I do I swear to find another way to you.
Chorus Someday, we'll be together One day, you'll be back in my arms again
Someday, I will be where I belong I've waited so long, For someday.
Life is to borrow. You were just a dream along the way Life is sweet sorrow, There's always tomorrow, There's always someday.
Last night I slept in a bed of tears But I woke up a better man There's a space in between Who you want and who I am And someday baby we'll both understand Now I could tell you that You'll be all right I could hold you And keep lying
One way is holding on One way is being strong There's two ways to say goodbye Your tears are made of pride My tears have all been cried There's two ways to say goodbye
Today I decided to take the long way home I figured that the drive would do me good I finally feel awake for the first time I better get home to do what's right That's right
One way is holding on One way is being strong
There's two ways to say goodbye Your tears are made of pride My tears have all been cried There's two ways to say goodbye
So I won't tell you that You'll be all right So please don't ask me to spend the night Cuz I don't want to hold you And keep lying
One way is holding on Oh and I got to be strong Either way it's goodbye Its just a matter of time Your tears are made of pride My tears have all been cried There's two ways to say goodbye
Wherever you go I want you to know There's two ways to say goodbye Wherever you go I want you to know There's two ways Goodbye
She's not afraid; she just likes to use her night light When she gets paid, true religion gets it all If they fit right.
She's a little bit manic, completely organic Doesn't panic for the most part.
She's old enough to know, and young enough not to say no To any chance that she gets for home plate tickets to see the Mets. Like everybody, she's in over her head, Dreads Feds, Grateful Dead, and doesn't take meds.
She's a Gemini Capricorn Thinks all men are addicted to porn. I don't agree with her half the time, But, damn I'm glad she's mine.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had. She loved Michael Jackson up until he made Bad.
Tells me that she lives about a hundred lives, Scares me to death when she thinks and drives, Says cowboy hats make her look fat, and I'm so glad she's mine.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
She doesn't know the word 'impossible' Don't care where I've been and doesn't care where we're goin' to. She takes me as I am, and that ain't easy. She's beautiful. So beautiful.
And sometimes I think she's truly crazy. And I love it.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies. That's where blue skies Always meet the sunrise. Her eyes, that's where I go When I go home.
She's not afraid she just likes to use her night light.
