Andy Wood

I know that I could never be the first one to kiss you
'cause darling there's been many men before me
I guess that I could never be the first one to love you
'cause all of those days of being gone

And every city street
And every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say

Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be, would I do
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone

You're tougher than the rest of us
You're making out like it never was
You say you've got the thing thought through
You'd rather walk away than fight
And you'd rather do what's wrong than right
You paint yourself in the darkest shade of gray

And every city street
And every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say

Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream, the dream for you
Could I be, would I do
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone

Every street
And every night and day
It's a world war trying to get your own way
If I had a wish
I swear you'd hear me say

Could I be the last give in
Say you'll never start again
Could I be the dream for you
Could I be the last surrender
Could I be the number one contender
Could I trust you if you don't come home
Could I leave you all alone

Have I been fooled by wishes
The room turned misty blue
I'm fast asleep in Kansas
From a dream come true

And I, I, I only came for you

I don't want anything that happens
And we just hold it here
Somebody go and fetch your father
I see it all so clear

Have I been taken over
I dream I'd have a clue
I'm feeling less than sober
Are you there way to

And I, I, I only came for you

Have I been fooled by wishes
I dream I'd have a clue
I'm fast asleep in Kansas
I only came for you

Gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head

Gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head

You can be sure, I'm trying my best
But I could stay in every night and still fail the test
I won't let on say everything's fine
The walls are closing in but I do not mind

I'm gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head

I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head

Make the phone ring, bring me good news
I live in deep freeze but I thawed out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on but I don't know how

I'm gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head

I'm gonna ask myself for one last try
Give myself a reason why
After that I'll knock it on the head

Can I sleep slipping back?
And every day that passes ah, I want back
I want back now, now

Make the phone ring, bring me good news
I live in deep freeze but I thawed out for you
God only knows what I'm gonna do now
I could get on but I don't know how

Gonna give myself a talking to
I don't think I'm getting through
After that I'll knock it on the head
After that I'll knock it on the head
After that I'll knock it on the head

Gonna get somewhere
Gonna get somewhere
Gonna get somewhere

As I drove off one evening, for the last time I'm leaving
I had to pull over 'cause something was changing
While the wind screen was wiping off the rain that kept falling
I thought about nothing, yeah, I thought about living

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall

Right now I'm dreaming that I'm back at my place
Changing my keys to my old front door
Turning around and talking, pretending once more

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight, always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right so let me fall, let me fall

After a while I began my journey home
Dreadin' that moment when on my stairs I'll be all alone
Dangling my keys in my old front door
And turning around and talking and pretending once more

That am I only doing what I expect myself to do
You know sometimes it's hard to tell what is it isn't true
Or am I living out a liar off for someone else?
Or is this just me beneath it all? I just don't know anymore

Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight and always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right so let me fall, let me fall

Oh when I come back tonight
After working all day long
The things that make it right
Are the things that make it wrong
So when we're forced apart
I'm only half a man
It's been a life of maybe's
Oh, but now I know I can

Our time has come girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come girl
We're gonna take it

Only now I notice things
That for years I just ain't seen
Was I walking in my sleep
Oh that's how it seemed to me
So don't ask me to explain
All the strange things that I do
And I'm luckier than God
'Cause he's got to wait for you

Our time has come girl
So long I've waited
Our time has come girl
We're gonna take it

I love the way you speak
And I love the way you swear
I love the way you walk around with your head held in the air
I love the way your words move
And I love the way you drive
I love the way you're scared of people scared to be alive

Stay - stay you that's the toughest thing to do

I love the way you dress upon a Saturday night
I love the way you never speak until it feels just right
I love the way you're spending all your money on yourself
I love the way you answer the phone and pretend you're somebody else

Stay - stay you that's the toughest thing to do (2x)

And now I don't want to talk about the things you overcame
By dragging up the past I'll put you through it all again
I've got the greatest admiration for the way that you got through it
Couldn't ask nobody else to do it better than you do it

Stay - stay you ...

Well I tried so hard
But it was not enough
I guessed wrong
And I messed up
But I think I still believe

When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
Things get out your way
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
You can face the day

Down by the river
Stands a man
Trouble on his mind
Running out of plans
But I think I still believe

When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
Things get out your way
When you walk in a straight line
You don't have to worry
When you walk in a straight line
You can face the day

You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be

I'm so confused
What should I do?
I'll take a drive
To somewhere I used to go

You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be
You've given me a whole lot to think about
Now leave me be

I need some time
To clear out my mind
If visions are true
Then why couldn't I see you?

You've given me a whole lot to think about

I could say the things that make it happen
I'd use all the words that lovers use
I could give the looks that time has given
But this time I'll look away from you

Maybe it ain't right and maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

You have made me feel [Incomprehensible] sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
And if you touch yourself
You'll have to find someone else to blame

Maybe in the light of day you'll forgive me
See it now for what it really was
In another time it could all be different
Honey, I was strong but you were not

Maybe it ain't right and maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

You have made me feel sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
'Cause if you touch yourself
You'll have to find someone else to blame

Maybe it ain't right, maybe I'll miss you
Maybe it ain't the easiest thing that I'm gonna do

You have made me feel sometimes pretty bad
I thought I was crazy but you're the one that's mad
Stand up and take a bow for all that you have done
'Cause if you touch yourself
You'll have to blame someone

You said the words
And I felt myself begin to fall
And I saw the road ahead with moonlight at all
And baby, baby, babe

And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you wanna see

You said the words
I felt the feeling in my heart
And I saw my world just fall apart
Baby, baby, babe

And I won't be home for tea
Don't suppose you wanna see
