Hugh Mcdonald

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
and there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
would all just call in sick
and the clouds would take the moon out
on some one-way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
but somehow they drove me back here once again
to the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn downthis place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
if you'd only made me cry
and told me how you're leaving me
to some organ grinder's lullaby

It' hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a differentkind of blue
and the Neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days,
I just miss you - It's the night that I go insane
Unless you're coming back,
For me, that's one thing I know that won't change

It' hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go

Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
and we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carival lips,
when I bet all that I had on you

It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
it's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been awhile
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
there's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
I dug up this old photograph
look at all that hair we had
it's bitter sweet to hear you laugh
your phone is ringin I don't wanna ask
If you go now I'll understand
if you stay, hey i've gotta plan
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
there's nowhere else tonight we should be, we should be.
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory

Hello again, it's you and me

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes

Every time I look at you, baby,
I see something new
That takes me higher than
before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight,
dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost,
I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say
and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way

Every time I look at you, baby,
I see something new
That takes me higher than
before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight,
dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you

Every time I look at you, baby,
I see something new
That takes me higher than
before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight,
dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you

All about lovin' you

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns - whatcha gonna learn in school
There's got to be some way out of here
He says Man, this life is cruel

I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life
She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener
on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who cries

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

My next door neighbor Donnie, died in his room just the other day
His brother came home, found him dead on the floor with a needle in
his vein
Cops came down with a body bag, they said Dannie was a casulaty
I said, All it's about is the boy checked out, he couldn't handle
reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, All I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Alarm clock rings, 6:45,
Must have hit that snooze button least 3 times,
Wishing this morning was still last night,
On any other day, just might wanna die.

Traffics backed up 20 miles to the east,
Must have hit every damn red light on the street,
Weatherman says 'It′s gonna rain for a week'
Hey, what can you do?

CHORUS:
On any other day, I′ve been blue, I was cryin′,
I could tell the world, ′At least I′m tryin′,
The clouds are breakin′,
The sun is shinin′ new for me and you.

On any other day, I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that youre going to save me
Maybe luck and love can pull us through
On any other day
Yeah, Yeah!

On any other day, I might just stay in bed
Sit down in a sea of blankets
Pull them up over my head
Get your papers in the morning

Just to get a little edge

Then maybe just give up in time to do it all again
Hey, I like where this is going
Yeah, ′cause I know where it′s been

On any other day, I′ve been blue, I was cryin′,
I could tell the world, ′At least I′m tryin′,
The clouds are breakin′,
The sun is shinin′ new for me and you.

On any other day, I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that youre going to save me
Maybe luck and love can pull us through
On any other day
Yeah, Yeah!

SOLO (Yeah Richie!)

Alarm clock rings, 6:45,
I like waking up with you on my mind
Knowing that you′re saving me
One more time.

On any other day, I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that youre going to save me
Maybe luck and love can pull us through
On any other day
Yeah, Yeah!

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

I have walked all alone on these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time disappears
I was lost on my knees only if hugged the field
As I chocked back to tears, there's a silent scream no one could hear
So far away from everything, you know it's true
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do
Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground
And ring the bells of freedom
Up the steps of the church, through the fields in the dirt
In the dark I have seen that the sun still shines for the one who believe
So far away, so full of doubt
You needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you
Taken from
Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground
And ring the bells of freedom
[Solo]
Ring the bells, ring them loud
Let'em ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground
And ring the bells of freedom
Ring the bells, ring them loud

All I want is everything

My next door neighbor Donnie
Died in his room just the other day
His brother come home
Found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vain
Cops come down with a body bag
They said Donnie was a casually
I said, all it's about is the boy checked out
He couldn't handle reality

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I want everything

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything
I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything
It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I see coming
All I want is everything
All I want is everything

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my consience
And I offer you my soul
You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well,I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord,I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let the boy die like a man
Staring down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
and I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun

I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did

Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
And held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand

But we were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Well, Bobby was our hero
Cause he had a fake I.D.
I got busted stealing cigarettes
And he took the rap for me

Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men

We were so young (so young)
One for all and all for one (for one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

[Solo]

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
Danny, he's a medicin man
And me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock'n'roll band

Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got a call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side

Blood on blood, blood on blood

Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standing
When all is said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be here for you
Till Kingdom come
Blood on blood

Blood on blood

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hang on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our fight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day that I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

[Solo]

And baby, I was made to be your man

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Angels falling from the sky
Imagine that imagine that
Nobody getting out of here alive
No turning back no turning back
Who's going to bail out all our shattered dreams?
And scrape some truth off of these city streets
No time for praying get up off your knees

There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
Cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in breathe out
There's only now
And all I got I’m holding in my hands
We're breaking out of brokenpromiseland

Let's close our eyes and just disappear
Slip through the cracks no looking back
We'll get a million miles away from here
And let the past just fade to black
So what you learn to live with your regrets
No need to fear what hasn't happened yet
Life will get you but you can't forget

There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
Cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in breathe out
There's only now
And all I got I’m holding in my hands
We're breaking out of brokenpromiseland

So rise my fallen angel
Come on now come on now
Shine, don't let them break you
Come on now, come on now
Come on now, come on now

Come on now, come on now
Come on now, come on

There's hope I know

Dateline early Sunday morning
Shots ring out without a warning
No one seems to even blink in this town
Two dead and a baby missing
Sirens screaming in the distance
A mother pleading bring my baby home now

For the pink slip of an SUV
A night cut down with tragedy
His defence another generation breakdown

Yeah, Yeah

What is the distance between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up

Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, yeah

Corporate countries go to war
Behind the lies they're fighting for
And black gold from an old king's soul won his round
How can someone take a life
In the name of god and say it's right
How does money lead to greed
When there's still hungry mouths to feed

Yeah, Yeah

What is the distance between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up

We need forgiveness
We all need a lot of love....

We need some hope
We need it now
A little faith man help me out
I'll learn to pray
But it's too late now

Yeah, Yeah

What is the distance between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up

What is the distance between a bullet and a gun
We need forgiveness
We all need a lot of love...
A lot of love...

Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah

Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed

Crash rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around ′cause they don′t let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
They′re shooting for the stars

You and me
We′re invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn′t play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
Holding hands, making big plans
Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

You and me
We′re invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn′t play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

They′re drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
At least they′re gonna try to fly

You and me
We′re invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever

We′re Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard

Kurt and Courtney
Bacall and Bogie
Joltin′ Joe and Ms. Monroe

I'm lying here beside you
In someone else's bed
Knowing what we're doing's wrong
But better left unsaid

Your breathing sounds like screaming, it's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands

Chorus:
Damned if you love me - damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me - damned if you do
God , I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes
Damned, damned

A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind blowing through the secrets that we keep
Made me wanna want you, God knows I need to need you
By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets

Chorus

Why won't you talk to me? Because I'm too blind to see
Why won't you look at me? Because I'm afraid to breathe
What do you want from me? All that I can stand
The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know
The soul is damned

Don't worry
I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name
And if you see me on the street, don't wave just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight
The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate

I'm lying here beside
you in someone else's bed
Knowing what were doing's wrong
But better left unsaid
Your breathing sounds
like screaming
It's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger
But my heart is in your hands
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Damne damned
A door slams liek a shotgun
you jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind blowing
through the secrets that we keep
Made me want to want you
God knows I need to need you
By the time the love is over
I'll be sleeping on the streets
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Why don't you talk to me
Because I'm too blind to see
Why don't you look at me
Because I'm afraid to breath
What do you want from me
All that I can stand
The lies are on my tongue and
I can't turn back I know
My soul is damned

Don't worry
I ain't gonna call you or hear
you say my name
And if you see me on the street
don't wave just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted
let's keep our stories straight
The more that I resist it
my temptation turns to fate
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me
standin' in these shoes
Damned

Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on
but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God I wish it wasn't me

Red, red rose, blood-red rose
Like a fire inside that grows, blood-red rose

When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I'll be the tears for you
There is nothing that I wouldn't do


When you're hungry, I will fill you up
When you're thirsty, drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying, I'll be the tears for you
There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you

You know, I bleed every night you sleep
'Cause I don't know if I'm in your dreams
I want to be your everything...

Diamond ring, wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world, I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby, you're my everything, diamond ring
Darling, you're my everything, diamond ring
Now, you've got me on your string.....Diamond ring

I light a candle
In the garden of love
To blind the angels
Looking down from above
I want, I need
The fruit of your pine
It tastes so bitter sweet
Cause I know it's not mine
I want to come inside

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it
Our dirty little secret

We act like strangers
When you're holding his hand
Cause there's a danger
That we both understand
We run like thiefs
Through the temple of sin
Till we fall on our knees then you go back to him
I want to feel alive

Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight
Come on and send the sign
I'll be your dirty little secret and you'll be mine
You got me knock knock knocking at your door
And I'll be coming back for more
We made a promise and we keep it

I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a lot to lose
Thought I had a lot to prove
In my life there's no denying
Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way

*I had enough of crying, bleeding, sweating, dying
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky,
Spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
Gonna live my life everyday

Change, everybody's feelin' strange
Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights
Take my shots while I'm still burning
Goodbye to all those rainy nights
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

*Repeat

Hit the gas, take the wheel
I just made myself a deal
There ain't nothing gonna get in my way
Everyday

Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

*Reapeat

I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday
I (gonna touch the sky),
oh I (spread these wings and fly),
oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday

How can I defend?
'Let's live for now not then'
We're chasing tail lights
Let them fade into the distance
Let's say the engine stalled and start again

Turn around let's turn around
It's a dark road we been heading down
Trust me tonight I swear I know where we are
We're gonna run all the lights
We're gonna blow right through the radar

Fast cars
We are fast cars

How can I pretend the signs don't say dead end
So many hearts just wind up in a junkyard
Where memories are nothing but spare parts

Turn around just turn around
And leave the past behind us now
Come on we ain’t gonna crash
This time we ain't slowing down
We'll pull ahead of the pack
Slipping thru the cracks cause we are

Fast cars
On a long ride take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars on the inside
There's no turning back
On the highway of life
Fast cars
We are fast cars

(Sha La Sha La)
Flying through the stop signs
(Sha La Sha La)
Running over bad times
(Sha La Sha La)
Gunning down the daylight
Counting days like white lines
Holding on for our lives

We are fast cars, ohh

We are fast cars
On a long ride take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars on the inside
There's no turning back on this highway tonight

What would you say to me?
If I told you I had a dream
If I told you everything
Would you tell me to go back to sleep
Take a look in these tired eyes
They're coming back to life
I know I can change
Got hope in my veins
I'm telling you I ain't going back to the pain

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turnin’ my world around

Can I be happy now?
Can I break free somehow?
I just want to live again
Love again
Pick my pride up off of the ground
I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwing stones
Got sins of my own
Ain't everybody just trying to find a way home?

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees
I learned how to bleed
I'm turning my world around

You're born then you die
It’s all gone in a minute
I ain't looking back
Cause I don't want to miss it
You better live now
Cause no one's going to get out alive, alive

Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe
I'm building a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just want to scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived the lie, that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day

Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
what's left to believe?

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,

It's a cold cold cold cold
cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part
of my life
When I cut you off
did I cut myself
with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain
had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name
run away
cause it's all in vain
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

It's been a long long long long
long time since I've had your love
here in my hands
We didn't understand it
we couldn't understand it
But nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away
before it's too late
We danced all night
as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the
mess we made
There in the stains
we remain
No one left to blame
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

Go on get on with your life
Yeah I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops
yeah it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night
keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again
My hearts breaking even
now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried
Yeah I live
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
let's just fold the cards
and say good bye
It's all right
just two hearts breaking even
tonight

It's been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
And I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain

Chorus:
My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, yeah I died, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

It's been a long, long, long time
Since I've had your love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains, we remain,
No one left to blame

Chorus

Go on, get on with your life, Yeah - I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again
But I'll see the light again

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried, yeah I died, hell I almost died
Don't got a reason, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

Hey God I'm just a little man
got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house
I bought into the dream
We're barely holdin' on
when I'm in way to deep
We're two paychecks away
from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom
like a Saint she doesn't complain
She never says a word
but she thinks that
she's to blame
Her son just got convicted
he blew some punk away
She did her best to raise him
but the world got in the way
Hey God Tell me what the
hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hanging on
Hey God there's nights
you know I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto in 1991
just a happy child
Playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lots' his playground
by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him
junior don't make 21
Hey God Tell me what the
hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hangin' on
Hey God
there's nights you know
I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me

I'd get down on my knees
I'm going to try
this thing you way
Seen a dying man too proud
to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save
Did you even know his name
Are you the one to blame
I got something to say
Hey God Tell me what
the hell is going on
Seems like all the
good shits gone
It keeps on getting
harder hangin' on
But Hey God
there's nights you know
I want to scream
These days you've even
harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
but Hey God
Do you ever think about me
Do you ever think about me
Hey God Hey God
think about me
Do you ever think about me
Hey God Hey God
think about me

Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family
But I almost lost the house, yeah I bought into the dream
We're barely holding on when I'm in way too deep
We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom, like a saint she don't complain
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away
She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way

Chorus:
Hey God - tell me what the hell is going on
Seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream
These days you're even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, but Hey God....
Do you ever think about me

Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child
Playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lot's his playground, by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21

Chorus

I'd get down on my knees, I'm going to try this thing your way
Seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save?
Did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame, I got something to say

Hello, is there anybody out there?
I'm alone hanging by a thread
Everywhere around the world
Everybody's waiting for someday
Calling out around the world
Maybe someday might be tonight

Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on

Are you there?
Tell me what you're feeling.
Your fears and all your wildest dreams
Everyone around the world
Is feeling just the same way that we are
Reaching out around the world
Will someone somewhere throw me a line?

Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on

Save me, save me
Save me, save me
Hello, is there anybody out there?

Calling out around the world
Maybe someday might be tonite

Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on
Hook me up
I'm hanging on the line, come on
Hook me up
Make me come alive, come on, take me on

Save me, save me,
Save me, save me

How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterdays
When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered
Blow out the candles on the cake
Like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then life's worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
Chorus: I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I ain't got no halo hanging over my head
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I am, I am
Chorus: I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

It feels like I'm walkin' on air
When we walk down our street
When the neighbours stop to watch us walk by
You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the only reason
The sun still shines (when it shines)
And when this wic

I always knew, that I'd like this place
You don't have to look too far, to find a friendly face
I feel alive when I'm walkin' on the street
I feel the heart of the city poundin' underneath my feet

Yeahhhhh let the world keep spinnin round 'n' round

I've got some good friends here, I might have broke a heart or two

And hey the cop on the corner, he knows everybody's name
And a kid with a dream singin' for some spare loose change

I had a roof over head
Had shoes on my feet
Yeah sure I was fed
But no one was there when I was in need... yeah

So who am I now?
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you but I won't relive you
I ain't the same scared kid I use to be

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie
I want to be loved
I want to be loved

I found a picture, our so called family tree... yeah
I broke all the branches looking for answers
Don't you know that it ain't how it supposed to be

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give, I'm ready to try, willing to lay it on the line
I want to be loved
I want to be!

I ain't gonna cry, I don't want to scream
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give, I'm ready to try, willing to lay it on the line
I want to be loved
