Darius Rucker

Don't acted surprised, it ain't like you didn't know
It's been a long long time coming and it's time for me to go
Trying to split things up could drive us crazy
So I'm gonna make this easy baby

You can have the money
You can have the house
Take the Cadillac and that pool out back
And your mothers pink and yellow couch
You can have every penny that I'll make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone

Don't get me wrong, I will always love you girl
You were my life, you were my heart, you were my world
But we both know it's over, there's no need to fight it
Girl I just need some peace and quiet

So you can have the money
Ah you can have the house
Take the Cadillac and that pool out back
And that ugly pink and yellow couch
You can have every penny that I will make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone

Ah you can have the money
You can have the house
Take the big screen and your diamond ring
And those shoes that you swore you couldn't live without
You can have every penny that I will make from this here song
Girl all I want you to leave me is alone
Girl all I need you to leave me is alone

If you're a man like me who is good at leaving
If you like your space and you love your freedom
Don't see yourself as ever settlin' down
Or your whole world being tossed around

Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
'Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine

She'll make you laugh when you feel like crying
Make you want to live when you feel like dying
So if you like living in the dark
Just walk away, you're going to lose your heart

Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
'Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine
Be wary of a woman like mine
Man, you don't stand a chance don't even try
Be wary of a woman like mine, oh

Be wary of a woman
A woman so fine
Don't want to change you
Loves you just right
Makes you feel like a man inside
Sometimes she'll make you cry
'Till you don't know what you're doing
You're out of control
Forget about leaving your heart won't go
If don't like that you better run and hide
And be wary of a woman like mine
A woman like mine
Be wary of a woman like mine, oh
A woman like mine

I left out in a cloud of taillights and dust
Swore I wasn't coming back, said I'd had enough
Saw you in the rear view standing, fading from my life
But I wasn't turning round
No, not this time

But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it

When we make choices, we gotta live with them
Heard you found a real good man and you married him
I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind
Where would we be today
If I never drove that car away?

Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
Yeah I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't think about it

Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think you don't get to me
Between the work and the hurt and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder 'bout
Could've been, should've been all worked out
I know what I felt and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it

No no, don't think I don't
Don't think I don't
Mmmmmmm...

Last thing I remember
I met the boys down at the jammer
We had a few beers, and a few shots

I woke up the next day
With cotton mouth and a headache
Trying to connect all the dots

Staring up at the ceiling
I got that funny feeling
Looked over and I, I saw my ex-girlfriend

I felt like a fool, and that's when I knew
I'd been drinkin' and dialin' again

So the next time you think I've had too much to drink
And you tell me I shouldn't drive home
When you take my keys, oh I'm begging you please
Go on take my cell phone

'Cause I have been known
After tying one on to call up a couple old friends
And tell them that I love them, or maybe don't cuss them
When I'm drinkin' and dialin' again

So the next time you think I've had too much to drink
And you tell me I should not drive home
Oh when you take my keys, oh I'm begging you please
Go on take my cell phone

If you've ever heard, me slurring my words
On your voicemail around 4 a.m.
You'll have to forgive me, and blame it on the whiskey
I was drinkin' and dialin' again

I've been drinkin' and dialin' again

I heard every word you said
And trying hard to understand
Exactly what it is you need from me
Baby I apologize
I never meant to make you cry
But there ain't no doubt, we can work it out yeah
'Cause I'm going to be around

Don't worry baby
I ain't no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Let my arms remind you
I'll always be beside you
Holdin' on until this ride is through
So away we go, down that forever road

Baby as our lives unfold
There's no telling where we'll go
But as far as I can see it'll be you and me
Just the way it's supposed to be

Don't worry baby
I ain't no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Let my arms remind you
I'll always be beside you
Holdin' on until this ride is through
So away we go, down that forever road

It ain't going to be easy
We'll both make big mistakes
But if you love me, trust me
We've got what it takes
Now…

Don't worry baby
I ain't no maybe
Rain or shine
This love of mine is for you
Yeah, let my arms remind you
I'll always be beside you
Holdin' on until this ride is through
So away we go, down that forever road
Down that forever road
Away we go

Don't move, baby don't move
Ah look at you
I just want to take this in
The moonlight dancin' off your skin
Our time, let's take our time
I just want to look in your eyes and catch my breath
'Cause I got a feeling

This could be one of those memories
We're wanna hold on too, cling too, the one we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the dawn of forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth taking
History in the making

Inside, baby inside
Can you feel the butterflies floating all around
'Cause I can sure feel 'em now
Tonight, maybe tonight
Is the start of a beautiful ride that will never end
And baby I've got a feeling

This could be one of those memories
We're wanna hold on too, cling too, the one we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the dawn of forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth taking
History in the making

Right here, right now, holding you in my arms

This could be one of those memories
We wanna hold on too, we wanna gonna cling too, the one that we can't forget
Baby this could be our last first kiss, the start to forever
What if this was that moment, that chance worth taking
History in the making, ah yeah
History in the making, nah nah
This is a chance worth taking, ahah

I'm eight years old, daddy's cutting my hair
Aqua Velva on his hands
Mama's in the kitchen,
Got fried green tomatoes poppin' in the pan
I see a home run, a gold line
Holding my breath getting baptized
I see her beautiful face under that veil as she's walking down the aisle

I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

I could see the headlights swerve
So I cut the wheel to the right
Last thing I saw was the bottle turned up
As he crossed that center line
I see tiny hands, brown eyes
falling asleep to that lullaby
And you slide over next to me as I turned out the lights

I can hear the sirens coming
Smell the gasoline and smoke
I'm pinned against this steering wheel
Pretty sure my arm is broke
I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time

Please Lord, I'm begging you
Don't let me go like this
There's so much left that I want to do
So much I don't want to miss, no

I can see the flames and my life
Flashing right before my eyes
I hope they get to me in time
Just get to me in time
Please get to me in, in time

Why do we hate, why do we suffer
Why do we make our mistakes and constantly blame one another
Why is there war and why is there killing
Have we forgotten some secret we knew back when we were just children

If I had wings, I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missing
I would have all the answers, if I had wings

Like why am I aching and where did I come from
And where will I go when my time here on this earth is done
And what will I leave that will go one forever, ohoho
And what can I do while I'm here to make someones life better

If I had wings, I'd fly up to heaven
I'd look down from the clouds on everything
Then I could find all the things we've been missing
I would have all the answers, if I had wings

Ohoho now, if I had wings, I would fly up to heaven
I would have all the answers, if I had wings

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all night
Lying there in bed and listening
To his newborn baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says,
"It's gonna be okay"

"It won't be like this for long
One day we'll look back laughing
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby, just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Four years later, 'bout 4:30
She's crawling in their bed
And when he drops her off at pre-school
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says, "What can I do?"
She says, "Now, don't you worry
This'll only last a week or two"

"It won't be like this for long
One day soon you'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long"

Someday soon she'll be a teenager
And at times, he'll think she hates him
And he'll walk her down the aisle
And raise her veil
But right now she's up and cryin'
And the truth is that he don't mind
As he kisses her goodnight
And she says her prayers

He lays down there beside her
'Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watching her it breaks his heart
'Cause he already knows

It won't be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
And this phase is gonna fly by
So he's trying to hold on
It won't be like this for long
It won't be like this for long

Grandpa Campbell would sit upon his front porch
And I’d be right there just sitting on his knee
He'd tell stories of love and feast and famine
And I’d hang onto every word that he would breathe
He'd say boy as you walk through this life
Here's a little wisdom that'll help you get by

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
And take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live

Well I left home and I went to Carolina
I didn't sail off just to see what I could see
I did some things that I wasn't really proud of
Sometimes life just got the best of me
But I’d always think back to those days
And I know what grandpa Campbell would say
He'd say

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
And take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live

After years of running round and searching
I found me a woman who loves me just for me
All those mistakes I thought that I was making
Led me right here to you sitting on my knee
Son as you walk through this life
Here's a little wisdom that will help you get by

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
You gotta take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live
Learn to live

Thirty-nine candles burnt out on a cake
Each representin' a million mistakes
The last one still burns, there's a wish I can make
This time I'm gettin' it right
So I close my eyes and I take a deep breath
And I promise myself in the time I have left

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money
I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin'
I'm gonna love while I still got the time

Lovin' me hasn't been easy on you
I don't know why, but I know you still do
It may be my day, but here's a present for you
You're lookin' at your new man
He's sincere and sober and faithful and kind
And he's home when you need him and girl startin' tonight

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money
I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin'
I'm gonna love while I still got the time

No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong
Life is too short, baby, I've wasted ours for too long
And baby from now on

I'm gonna work like I don't need the money
I'm gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin'
I'm gonna love while I still got the time

I'm gonna work (gonna work like I don't need the money) I know I am
I'm gonna laugh (gonna laugh like I'm not afraid to cry) laugh, laugh, laugh
I'm gonna dance (I'm gonna dance like nobody's watchin') I'm gonna dance, I'm gonna dance
I'm gonna love while I still got the time
I'm gonna love while I still got the time
While I still got the time

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life

You and meWe come from different worldsYou like to laugh at meWhen I look at other girlsSometimes you?re crazyAnd you wonder whyI?m such a babyCause the Dolphins make me cryChorus:Well there?s nothing I can doI only wanna be with youYou can call me your foolOnly wanna be with youPut on a little Dylansitting on a fenceI say that line is greatYou ask me what I meant by?Said I shot a man named GrayTook his wife to ItalyShe inherited a million bucksAnd when she died it came to meI can?t help it if I?m lucky?br />Only wanna be with youAin?t Bobby so coolOnly wanna be with you(Solo)Yeah I?m tangled up in blueOnly wanna be with youYou can call me your foolOnly wanna be with youSometimes I wonderIf it will ever endYou get so mad at meWhen I go out with my friendsSometimes you?re crazyAnd you wonder whyI?m such a baby yeahThe Dolphins make me cryWell there?s nothing I can doOnly wanna be with youYou can call me your foolOnly wanna be with youYeah I?m tangled up in blueOnly wanna be with you

TIME
Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.

Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of red
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...

chorus:

Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep

(chorus)

Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

(chorus)

Time, why you punish me?

Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me

Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to

He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave

Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now

Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population

She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"

I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here

To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed

I don't know....
What I can't see....
I don't know
What I can't see

I've found a reason to dig deep down.
There's a part of you that I ain't found that's in your deeper side.
Instead of wondering what I should do,
I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
that I would give most anything to see.
There's a lot of things that I would know
if you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.
Everybody always seems so pure,
then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.
Show me your, yeah. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything to see.
You think the world has got your number now.
You cry about it but you know somehow it's your deeper side.
I heard you wishing you were someone else
but all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.
So, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Please, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Oh, show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.
You would give most anything to see.
Show me your deeper side.

I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?
Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
and you start to think about the times that we had
and the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what your man's gonna do.
You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that you're gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.

Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.

Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear
sings the songs of our hearts breaking.
Say your dreams, they all have changed.
Well, my smiles, they all have faded.
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,
they now feel jaded.
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.
Storm clouds all have gone away.
Can we stop this thing from sinking?
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
And I want you to know,
and to feel in your soul,
that someone has come and gone.
I'm stuck up here with you.
I never thought we'd get this high.
I used to be afraid of falling.
Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly.
I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
I wanna feel like I did.
Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh. I...

How you gonna say what you can and can't do,
sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube.
You're mad at the world like she owe you,
What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?
Not a damn thing changed.
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everyday you're out slinging that thing.
No worries or cares of what your mama may say.
Trying to get what you want in your life.
The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice.
Not a damn thing changed.
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game,
but you're still struggling hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try.
All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky.
All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled.
Time is moving rapidly.
Don't let it pass you by, yeah.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no,
a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water...

Hello, little darlin'.
Can't see why you're cryin'.
Don't even know why you came by so soon.
And I know that you love me.
Remember that you left me.
Why were you so afraid of the truth?
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no.
Hello, how you doing?
Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.
So sit down at my table.
We'll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...)we'll be alright again.
Now, I told you right from the start
that I don't want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.
And, now that I don't see you much,
I wish that we had stayed in touch.
I don't know what I would say or what you think I would do.
Now, no, no. Now, no, no. Now, no. Now, no, no. Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again.
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how we'll be alright again.

You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,
never knowing I was your chocolate rose.
You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing,
but you think I look better here without any clothes.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
You play a game of attack and surrender.
Always leaving me halfway there.
Well I've got something that you should remember.
Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus, now, oh.
If I didn't already know your type.
You'd rather tell me you're an angel, darling,
then show me by floating gracefully by.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head, oh. And, show me your heart.
Get out, get out, get out of my head.
Yeah, and show me your heart.
Show me your, oh.
Get out of my head. And, show me your heart.

I see it inside your eyes,
feel it in your soul.
A part of you is moving on,
the other half is gone.
I don't know what you want from me,
no, you lock it all inside.
I try to give you everything,
but there's nothing else that I can hide.
We've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.
The house we share is not a home when you're inside it.
So, now, I go and grab my things, girl,
I must be moving on.
I couldn't stand to face you,
so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song.
You've been trying so long.
We've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
You need a little space and I need mine.

Now I see the time we had before
is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore.
And I've learned that written words are not the same
as when you take the time to say it
and let the clouds release the rain.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends.
Yesterday's just something I can't mend.
And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you.
And I say one thing each day before I lay me down.
I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around.
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind.
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend.
But, yesterday's just something I can't mend.
'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you. You.

Can you see me there when I'm standing alone?
How did you know I needed you here?
Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?
Is that what makes you appear?
See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,
what we did to become this way.
And, I'll never forget when you whispered to me.
You said, don't worry it'll be ok.
Sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there, but we just can't go with him.
Can you hear me now when I'm standing this close?
Can I tell you one of my fears?
See, I hope you live to sing when I die,
'cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more.
'Cause sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
And, sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.
Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no.
Sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.

She said so, so many times in my life
Once I thought things were fine, it would rain
This is how it is each and everyday I live
Things I thought would be my joy, turn to pain

So when it pours and you're in deep water
And you can't tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one whos there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowing from your eyes

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
Heaver would be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

So don't worry or sweat the small things
Everything in your lives bound to change
All the things you're going through
I will bare the weight with you
There's no shame, know what I'm saying
There's a way to pull through

Oh and when it pours girl and you're in deep water
And you can tell the difference from the rain and your tears
I will be the one whos there, who'll always be there
To drink the river flowing from your eyes

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

Oh
I'll help you carry it all
(I'll help you carry all)
You don't have to worry at all
(No you don't have to worry)
And if you stumble and fall
(If you sumble and fall)
I'll be there for you

(I'll help you, aw)
I"ll help you carry it all
(You don't have to, aw)
You don't have to worry at all
Girl and if you fall, I'll be there
Through it all, through it all

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Please let me be the one to take you there, there

Exodus is yours, love
Let the midnight sun disappear
And Heaven could be yours, love
Let me be the one to take you there

She lives right there off of Rutledge Avenue
She has a few friends but she only has a few
Her next door neighbor plays his music way too loud
She often complains but they play it anyhow

What is a girl supposed to do
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now

It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
When you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on

She works all day just to put herself through school
'Cause financial aid doesn't seem to cover food, no, no, no, no
Every morning she rides on the bus to make her gains
It's easy to attain but so hard to sustain, yeah

What is a girl supposed to do
Living alone can have you so confused
But remember now

It won't be too long, girl
You find out where you belong
Whether you're feeling afraid and alone
Just remember two words, hold on

She's coping with pain of things she left behind
Multiple pressures that cloud her mind
And she feels it, her eyes carry no signs of joy

She's tired of rubbing it all the time
Found independence is not so kind
Life ain't easy, all she needs is a friend

Hold on

It won't be too long, girl
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Remember two words, hold on

It won't be too long
Find out where you belong
Feeling afraid and alone
Remember two words, hold on

Two weeks ago I got a note
addressed to me from you, babe
You’re telling me you gotta

can’t take it no more
I promised you when we first met

I’ll let you go but
There’s one request
I have before you go

break up our lives

Da Da da da da da....
Da da da da dum da dum
Every time I see you (I see you)
It's good to see you again (hey baby)
You make me feel like I've seen the sun (sun shining)
Your loving let's me know that I'm the only one
And I hear you:

Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby

Lovin' you is like my dream come true
I want you to know that I'll always be there standing up for you
From the mountain
From the river
From the root to the to the, baby

Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how you got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby

When I look in to the mirror (What do you see)
I see me and I see you (And how are we)
Joined from the soul
Our hearts together
Just living together in melody baby

Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how we got so good)
Sometimes I wonder (I wonder how wegot so good)
Sometimes I wonder (Wonder how we got so good)
Sometimes I wonder, baby, wonder, baby

Living together in melody
In melody
In harmony
In melody
In harmony
In melody, baby
In harmony

We just got this good
In melody
In harmony

I remember when I saw you there
What did you see in me, tell me
Let all the people stop and stare
You were the only one that I could see

Time comes and time goes by
We loved, we laughed, I failed, you tried
And now I understand why
I have to be the one to blame

Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we’re done, I’m sorry

See I was standing up with things to say
So I had to decide
For me it was either you or them
And I was running out of precious time

You see, I had to see the world
I knew it meant losing you, my girl
Since I lost it all today
These simple words to you I’d say

We should have given up at least a thousand times
So girl, I wouldn’t be surprised if you wrote me off, no
You see I know that I put my friends before you
And I constantly ignored who was in my corner
Now, I apologize

Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we’re done, I’m sorry

Don’t you know that
You should have given up at least a thousand times
But, girl, why would I be surprised, why would it shock me
When you write me off but you can’t

Can’t you see I, I put my band, I put my band
Wow, I ignored you
Then in return, you were there for me
And I, I apologize

Ten years down the line, I never meant to waste your time
So glad you never threw in the towel on you and me
You showed me unconditional love, you even gave me the one
And baby, now that we’re done, I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I remember when I saw you there
What did you see in me, tell me
Let all the people stop and stare
You were the only one that I could see

Time comes and time goes by

And baby, now that we’re done, I’m sorry

I’m sorry

I'd like to ask you from the start
If you could pull me out of the dark.
Or if our love could fall apart like cookies crumble.
See, I'm a demon on the loose.
I'm like an engine with no caboose.
And I need somebody who can really handle me.

Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.

I just wanna let you know, girl,
I'm attracted to your physical.
But, I got this lazy eye that likes to wander, oh.
See, I'm tired of being alone,
So if you throw this dog a bone,
Baby, you and I can make our house a home, yeah.

Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run. Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild one.

Oh, you could be the one who saves me,
Or try to be the one who tames me.
Girl, you are the one who's changing my way of life.
I'm tired of painting the town with ladies
Or living the life so hazy.
I'm tired of all my lies,
I think I want some real love
But, girl, you gotta realize.

Yeah that, baby, I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby I'm a wild, wild one.
Yeah, baby I'm a wild one.
Don't let me run.
Don't let me get away.
Yeah, baby I'm a, (hog wild, yeah) one
Oh,
Yeah, baby,
I'm a wild one,
I'm a wild one,
Dont let me get away,
Yeah, baby, I'm a wild, wild wild one,
(Yeah, baby, I'm a) Hog wild, don't let me run
Don't let me get away
Yeah baby, I'm a wild, wild one, oh wild wild wild one.

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sits me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do

Walking on the water in a van
Tryin to think of everything I can
But it's getting very late,
And these tapes don't sound too good
And my body just don't feel
The way I wish it would.

I was driving when I heard you call my name.
It was not like before not quite the same
It's too late to be much good and I might as well confess
That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes.

When I'm almost with you music tries to play,
When I'm almost home I almost hear you say,
It would be all right if we could run away.

Deciding things for all my life
No one ever tells you when or why
But my heart can't seem to tell me
What would satisfy my mind
So I jump into the van one more time

It is worth the admission
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass
I look on, in a window
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass.

On rainy days I wonder what's behind the veil
And I feel your breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand,
It's my gift from Araby.

We can move and be trusted,
But what is it that you want?
It is not what they think,
Yeah what is it that you want?

They look down on me and they smile forever,
But I know that love will kill that pride

And I press my heart into your hand
It's my gift from Araby.

Listen to what you're saying,
You know nothing of my love,
And if it all comes down to what you say
You know nothing of my love.

And looking up into the dark I find it there,
And I feel my breath upon my mouth,

And I press my heart into your hand
It's my gift from Araby.

There's a chill in your kissin'
And a thrill I've been missin' too long
This love is deceivin', babe, I'm believin'
This thing's going' wrong
'Cause your eyes betray your heart and soul
and your love for me is growin' old
And I think maybe I'd better pack my bags and

CHORUS:
Roll like the wind, better roll 'till the highway ends
Gonna roll on outta her
Before the heartache rolls in

There's a lonesome sound that keeps rollin'
'Round inside of me
Those wheel on the highway are whinin' on by
Baby I gotta leave
If I don't get out now while my minds in control
Then I'll never be able to ever let go
And I think maybe I better head outta here and

REPEAT CHORUS

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams nighttime too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do
Dream baby, make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

The walls are built up, stone by stone;
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
we've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break.
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

There's a curve in the highway just south of town
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound
Of diesels windin' up the grade

He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so
And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show
He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't
And he wonders how life got this way

'Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing
He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now

So how do you confess what words won't explain
He never intended to cause this much pain
Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain
And got that he bargained from the clouds

And it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart

He'll turn his care around tonight
Go home and try to face the truth
Everyone involed's gettin' hurt
And there aint nothin' he can do

(Guitar solo)

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape
From:

A fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start-a

We blew past the army motorcade
and it's abnormal load haulage
The gravity of the situation
came on us like a bit of new knowledge
The bubbliest bubble bath
broke down on the bank
The gravity of the situation
is why our old thought bubbles sank
humble and gracious
The gravity of the situation
a fat hungry English crow
picking at a badger carcass
The gravity of the situation
is hard to focus and harness
We met Bill Lowery
at the Queen's Hall
The gravity of the situation
became apparent to us all

Wanna tell you 'bout the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love

(Chorus)
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman; she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standin' in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinkin ' low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town
Keep a-searchin' all around:
Lookin' for my street corner girl

Chorus

In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', Drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a -left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey, hey what can I say)

Hey, hey, what can I do
I got a woman she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day.

Every time I look at you, I go blind.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
In the mornin' I get up, and I try to
Feel alive, but I can't.
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I don't know what it is.
Something in me just won't give me a chance.
I think it's that I feel more confused
By the deal love has shown me.
Little child, did you know that there's a light,
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
Every time I look at you, I go blind.
I go blind
Well some where over there there's a purpose,
There's a care for free
In me there's no body, no one plan,
No one stand to be free.
I think it's that because I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal. No big deal.
Hold me, hold me 'cause I want to get higher and higher,
Higher than life

I've been waiting for you
I wish you could too
Had you too long to lay back now
First time you caught my eye
I knew I want to spend my life
Making you feel like you should

CHORUS:
I'm not trying to make you do
Nothing you don't want to
But I said I love you
My love depends on you
It grow, it flows, it goes by you
Won't you let me be your man

So if you'd only tell me (it you'd only tell me)
Tell me that you love me (tell me that you love me)
I'll be the luckiest man alive
I just keep on waiting, anticipating
'Til the day you say you're mine

CHORUS

Won't you let me be your man
Let me be your man
Won't you let me be your man

Good times for a change.
See the look I've had could make a good man turn bad.
So please please please, let me, let me, let me…
Let me get what I want this time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.
See the life I've had could make a good man bad.
So for one in my life let me get what I want.
Lord knows it would be the first time.
Lord knows it would be the first time.

Are you alone, Renaissance Eyes
I once had my family stolen from me, Renaissance Eyes
Is that your car, Renaissance Eyes, yeah
Have you ever taken dancing lessons, Renaissance Eyes

Chorus:
Drench you in a vision
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes…

Oh, is that your car, Renaissance Eyes
I once had a car but it was stolen, Renaissance Eyes
Tell me your name, Renaissance Eyes
Do you ever think about the future, Renaissance Eyes

Chorus:
Drench you in a vision
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes



Oh spend my days with her copies I've collected
All my nights, all my nights with a silver screen
Nothing wrong with the way that I respect her
She's more than an, more than an ordinary queen

Chorus:
Drench you in a passion
And dress you with a passion
Though the vision haunts you
I'm the one who wants you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes

When the days are short
And the nights are long
And I wait for you to love me with those eyes
Love me with those eyes, eyes, eyes
Love me with those eyes, eyes
Love me with those eyes

My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sits me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high-class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do

You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you

Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute

I say that's life
You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
I'm just so sick of my mind

It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Don't you see us smiling now

You say that's life
I say it's alright

CHORUS

Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live bound to die in it
You say that's life
I say I'll still be here

CHORUS

It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you

We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through

And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do

My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek

Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true

I stumbled long
And I fell hard
We loved so strong
For all that we knew

Please hear me now
And hold your anger somehow
But why must it be me

My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing that I can see
Is there a reason we should seek
When the end is all I see

And when I wake
I sing your song
Somewhere you stir
Cause your wanting me too

Don't listen to
The others answers
Our love is not new

Robinn' Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
Cause there's someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile

Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child

Love is gone but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free

Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, "boy come and walk with me
There's someplace I've got to see"
So we strolled along the mountain high

She called me boy my friend
And I wondered if or even when
I'd see Greta and my Rose again
The time has come for dealing

Lessons learned but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free

I flew on the wings of a bird
And I whispered names of girls I once knew
Then she disappeared into a fallen stream

Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile

I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard

Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again

Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be
Tonight just may be our last

The bell rings to tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night

And I can't believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon

Hold me tightly
Like never before
You've come to say your alive

CHORUS

The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don't feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where

And I say it's our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But I'll let go to have you again

CHORUS

Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's
Wakes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll be there waiting (for you)
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait) I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall


She was left behind so they could stay
God to feel him this she prays
It'd make her feel so much better
I want to feel so much better

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll be there waiting for you
In the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
(I will wait) I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall

When I wake to find the solace of
all, all we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
That I've been leery of
Take me down
Let me see

I'll,, I'll, I'll be there (waiting for you)
in the morning when times have changed
I'll be there through the lies and all
I'll be standing like a soldier for you
You hold your secrets
Through the days when I need to be alone
I will wait for you
Through the rise and fall

I'll be there
In the morning when times when times have changed
(I will wait) I will wait for you
through the rise and fall

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs


There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there


Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again


Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name


A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do


Don't go down to the station
Somehow we won't live that long
Don't go now, desert flower
Cause you just won't bloom
And your memories made need more room


See that mirror there
Will she look inside
To see the one I fear standing alone


And on my phonograph
Will she put them in
The songs that only remind her of me


A chance to make things right for her
And make my life seem true
I'm begging Do


CHORUS

I step outside The Joint
To clouds of guilt and fear
And there are shades of red dancing in view

Las Vegas nights
Make me wonder
How much longer I will be a fool

A chance to make things right for her
Make my lies seem true
I'm begging Do

CHORUS

Las Vegas nights

But I wait to see her float down stairs

Is there another chance

CHORUS

I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
Then she told me something that made me sick


Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She's got something and she wants let me in

Three
In my family say
"we've never been anywhere"

"to the left sea
can we go please
we don't care we want to
sit and stare at it"

can we try
to hold up our head
feel the power of the land that we trampled once

can we go
where you go
we know you always need us behind

it's me it's me
calling around looking for your reply
let me tell you where the story
can run to now

we came together
we will leave here one by one
let's go on and remember
where we've been

aunt Inez
from Virginia she
makes me feel like I could be president

of all I see
and all I dream
in these eyes that have held so much punishment

CHORUS

When she laughs
I hold up my head
She makes me feel like I could walk on water now

Can she go
Where I go
I know I'll always need her behind

CHORUS

Only Lonely by Hootie & the Blowfish

"Hello again"
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face, your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name

If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies?
But I believe that I could be the one you're needing
'Cause I'm

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

And I could start to give apologies
For all the stupid things That I will say and I
will do
If we should ever cross the same place at the same
time
Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me?

If we could share our life
Would I disappoint your memories?
And I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
And I'm

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts

If I could give back your hopes, your joys, your
treasures
Don't you think that I would change my world?
But there's so many things trying to pull us
together
And even though we're far apart I can still watch
you walk away

Only lonely on the inside
Only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, what do you see?

Only lonely on the inside
Didn't mean to take away your dreams
I'm only lonely on the inside
In your deepest thoughts, what do you see?

Only lonely on the inside
I didn't mean, I didn't mean, to steal your dreams
away
I'm only lonely on the inside
When you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts,
do you see me?

Only lonely on the inside, I'm only lonely when
you're gone
Only lonely on the inside, I see you babe, I see you
Only lonely on the inside, only lonely, only lonely
on the inside
I'm only lonely on the inside

take a little bit of everything baby
i'll be all right
don't just settle for living the lie
that I thought you might


put on your disguise
let me see that you're bigger than me
tell me that tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn for you


And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
You say what do want from


Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave
But now I'm a better man


I thought you realized
I wanted you but
You left so suddenly
I know I promised but now I lied


And when I kiss you someday
If you feel that your aloud
You say "what do you want from me now"


Burn all your candles
Turn out the light
Forget the feeling you've been feeling
Deep inside of me we'll be alright


Now it's the morning after
And I'm doing what you said
No one answers
So I cope cause you are gone
Oh I just wanted you baby
But I have to deal cause
My heart isn't big enough
To love you even if I please
And if I need you someday
You will not make a sound


Just think what do you want from me now

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you

Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself

Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me

And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay

What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine

I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high

All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me

Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us

Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me

Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play

At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine

And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery

It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity

CHORUS

I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one
She wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out
(We don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(Something no ones needin)
I left the other day
But you're never here
You only listen to things you want to say
But the power it's ok with you
You knew I'd find something else to do
Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, I wanna die with you
Something no ones
See it's not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in it's ok now
Close the door
Is it really needing
When you find a place
That's only yours
Just go he beams
Well I've died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run
(Now)
Let me be the one
(We don't see it bleeding)
I can't feel it, I can't see it
(Something no ones needing)
I feel dumb dumb dumb

Soni sing the Fairweather Johnson song...)
I like the Stealers in '75
I only like the Broncos when they come alive
I liked the Redskins in '83
There when the Dolphins are playin' well yeah
Well they're the team for me.
'Cause I'm Fairweather Johnson (Johnson)
Yeah yes I'm Fairweather Johnson
(Johnson I like the Braves in '95)
(I like the Braves in '95

Saw you last night
you were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you'll ever be free again
Then I climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "Give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying I shouldn't be feeling this pain
I think I better grow up now or go insane
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many things I can be
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to Bar None so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "Boy carry your load"
Oh I don't want to go back on the road now
There's so much I feel
So much I conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces I can read
There's just so many things I can beEnd of buffer
