[Verse 1] I take the car and drive the night The white stripes blur and ease my mind When all that’s left is a single line Instead of this confusion And I’m not certain of the way it was And I’m not sure what I could of done Oh but I wonder if it had been enough To stop her from leaving And I realize the only thing I know is
[Chorus] She said, I’m in love with some one else she said I fell in love with some one else and I I’m in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure
[Verse 2] I stop the car and close my eyes I can see her face, but It takes a while And it feeds it like the morning light Slow and unfocused, So I go home and She’s sitting on the kitchen chair Oh a suitcase waiting by the stairs Oh they’re both worn out from all the years They’re ready to let go And I realize the only thing that’s sure is
[Chorus] She said , I’m in love with some one else she said I fell in love with some one else and I I’m in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure She’s in love with some one else she said She fell in love with some one else and that She’s in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure
[Bridge] And I’m on my knees And I’m on my knees And I’m on my knees And I’m on my knees Yes and I realize the only thing I know is
[Chorus] She said , I’m in love with some one else she said I fell in love with some one else and I I’m in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure She’s in love with some one else she said She fell in love with some one else and that She’s in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure
I’m in love with some one else she said I fell in love with some one else and I I’m in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure She’s in love with some one else she said She fell in love with some one else and that She’s in love with some one and that’s all that I know for sure
I did my time I paid my price For all these things I did I lost my feet You said your piece I thought that that was it
So when you sleep so peacefully And all your sins are buried deep While you're dreaming I'm outside Digging up the ones I missed
When's it coming back again When's it coming back around again I don't ever know When it's coming back again You can try all you want But the past knows what you did And I can't seem to get away from it When's it coming back again When's it coming back around Baby coming back around again
I've been chewed up I've been spit out But never thought to quit I've taken blows And felt them all But nothing close to this
So when you sleep so peacefully And all your sins are buried deep While you're dreaming I'm outside Digging up the ones I missed
When's it coming back again When's it coming back around again I don't ever know When it's coming back again You can try all you want But the past knows what you did And I can't seem to get away from it When's it coming back again When's it coming back around Baby coming back around again
My back's against the wall I'm feeling for the door But I can't find it As the knife slides into me And as I'm standing there She walks in And blurry fears are coming clear And I can finally see
When's it coming back again When's it coming back around again I don't ever know When it's coming back again You can try all you want But the past knows what you did And I can't seem to get away from it When's it coming back again When's it coming back around Baby coming back around again
When's it coming back again When's it coming back around again When it's coming back again
And I can't seem to get away from it When's it coming back again When's it coming back around Baby coming back around Coming back around Baby coming back around again
She has no problems with secrets She knows how to keep them She never felt the need to let them show And I've had no trouble with speaking Or trusting my instincts But maybe this is one that I should know But as I'm waiting in The devil on my shoulder stares Laughing at the one thing I can't get, it's what I need
She, she is the words that I can't find How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive And I couldn't speak I couldn't breathe to save my life All of my chances swim like sinking ships This time it's it I'll drown or make her mine
My vocal cords have been fighting My mouth likes to spite me It never says the words that come to mind And I brought a stick to a gun fight And I'm stuck with my tongue tied I run, but I can't hide what's always there
She, she is the words that I can't find How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive And I couldn't speak I couldn't breathe to save my life All of my chances swim like sinking ships This time it's it I'll drown or make her mine
I can see these things I do and never seem to follow through
She, she is the words that I can't find How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive...
She, she is the words that I can't find How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive And I couldn't speak I couldn't breathe to save my life All of my chances swim like sinking ships This time it's it I'll drown or make her mine
She, she is the words that I can't find How can the only thing that's killing me, make me feel so alive And I couldn't speak I couldn't breathe to save my life All of my chances swim like sinking ships This time it's it I'll drown or make her mine
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around, But she takes it all for me. And I lost my faith, in my darkest days, But she makes me want to believe.
They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love, love. She is love, and she is all I need.
She's all I need.
Well I had my ways, they were all in vain, But she waited patiently. It was all the same, all my pride and shame, And she put me on my feet.
They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love, love. She is love, and she is all I need.
And when that world slows down, dear. And when those stars burn out, here. Oh she'll be here, yes she'll be here, They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love. love.
She is love, and she is all I need, She is love, and she is all I need, She is love, and she is all I need.
Look behind you Avoid the shadows Watch your back now Make your breathing shallow
Keep your room locked And leave the blinds closed I'm right there staring at your window
And all I need is you And all I need is you
I'm in the background On the radio I'm in your car In your house Waiting at your door Under your footsteps I'm everything you know Just let me haunt Let me haunt Let me be your ghost
You had your chance love You tried to stay strong You tried to let go Tell yourself you moved on
But then it comes back That feeling in your bones Like I'm right there
And all I need is you And all I need is you
I'm in the background On the radio I'm in your car In your house Waiting at your door Under your footsteps I'm everything you know Just let me haunt Let me haunt Let me be your ghost Let me be your ghost Just let me be your ghost
I'm in the background On the radio I'm in your car In your house Waiting at your door Under your footsteps I'm everything you know Just let me haunt Let me haunt Let me be your ghost
I turn my head, I can't shake the look you gave me I'm as good as dead, Cause all those eyes are all it takes And all, I want, is you So I pulled away All I do is sit and wait And I might as well Write the words right on my face That all, I want, is you Always you
Because I've kept my heart under control But lately, all this time is taking its toll Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul So darling please believe me I want you and you just have to know
And all my fears, Creep and crawl across my skin These four walls, Are after me and moving in And all, all that I want to do, oh Is give up, give in, And let this one stay where it is But I don't suppose I will
Because I've kept my heart under control But lately, all this time is taking its toll Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul So darling please forgive me I want you and you just have to know
That one of these days I'm gonna find myself away I'll find the courage I'll find the grace Oh and I'm going to know, just what to say Oh and you'll walk on up When you want this love And you've had enough And you're giving it up
Because I've kept my heart under control But lately, all this time is taking its toll Said I tried to but I can't hold back what's deep in my soul So darling please forgive me I want you and you just have to know
Kept my heart, under control It's under control baby And darling don't you let this go It's deep down in my soul I want you and you just have to know It's under control Darling please don't let this go Baby baby baby please Baby girl ohh ohh Its under control
You can blame it on the small things You can blame it on your heartbeat The wrong day
You can blame it on your regrets And all your little secrets You keep them
You can show me all your old scars That you got from all the old wars You fought so you could tell me "I'm not the one who needs the saving"
You can say what you want But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright now you
Think it feels right But you don't know You've got everything you wanted But you're not sure
You can say what you please If it's all that you need To believe it's getting better You can blame it on me
There's a million ways to hold on To everything that goes wrong The sad songs
Oh but all these different reasons Are just a million different ways to say the same old thing Now tell me, "I'm not the one who needs the saving"
You can say what you want But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright now you
Think it feels right But you don't know You've got everything you wanted But you're not sure
You can say what you please If it's all that you need To believe it's getting better You can blame it on me You can blame it on me You can blame it on me
You can blame it on the small things
Say what you want But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright
You can try to deny But it's only getting better It's alright Oh baby it's alright now you
Think it feels right But you don't know You've got everything you wanted But you're not sure
You can say what you please If it's all that you need To believe it's getting better You can blame it on me You can blame it on me You can blame it on me, c'mon
Well I'd go house to house and knock on every door, I'd take down all the walls and tear up every floor, Just to figure out, oh what we're fighting for And all I can do, Is sit and let the air speak for you...
Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon You know it's not even fair And a first round, knockdown Baby the floor You know I'm already there And the sun sets high, and that moon is low Oh cause when words meet heartbeats Baby you'll know
Well there's silence now There's nothing more to gain And it isn't right if I can't run away... Because it kills the mood, When there's nothing left to say And all I can do, Is sit and let the air speak for you...
Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon You know it's not even fair And a first round knockdown Baby the floor You know I'm already there And the sun sets high, and that moon is low Oh cause when words meet heartbeats
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to see And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing with me
Cause when words meet heartbeats baby c'mon You know it's not even fair And a first round knockdown Baby the floor You know I'm already there And the sun sets high, and the moon is low Oh cause when words meet heartbeats Oh when words meet heartbeats Oh when words meet heartbeats Baby you'll know
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around, But she takes it all for me. And I lost my faith, In my darkest days, But she makes me want to believe.
They call her love, love, love, love, love. They call her love, love, love, love, love. She's all I need.
Well I had my ways, They were all in vain, And she waited patiently. It was all the same, All my pride and shame, And she put me on my feet.

She wears a white dress She sees the lights and it`s saying come back She`s out the door but she hasn`t left yet And I start believing her when she says that The city`s gonna save her Love don`t leave her I know just what she`s looking for Oh but all she knows is A picture that keeps fading more But I can`t let go That`s why I`m telling her I want to love you more Than all of the things you wanted Than all of the things you`re not You want to have it all She found it in the city But they city doesn`t talk She wears a gold cross She sheds her skin but it never comes off She hears the angles out on the streets at night As she walks right by Oh they sing so softly they sing Oh... oh.. oh.. love`s right behind you oh...

Hold my gun and watch the door pick the lock and cut the phone keep your head up, love ain't nobody here can stop us grab the bags when siren's call pull out the window through the yard keep it locked up tight ain't nobody here can stop us
chorus
baby I've had the same dream where I wake up wondering what it really means the world came running down if it was you and me against the world baby they got us under but we'll take whatever we want it was you and me against the world you get the car I'll get the cash we'll take the money and run
look I'm running through the door shattered glass across the floor oh they think they know but we both know they don't oh we did our crime and got away we stole the gold and made the day and we will smile and know they're saying ain't nobody here can stop us
chorus
baby I had the same dream where I wake up wondering what it really means if the world came right down if it was you and me against the world baby they got us under but we'll take whatever we want it was you and me against the world you get the car, I'll get the cash we'll take the money and run
oh I keep waking up in an empty bed and it's reminding me of all the things I should have said oh we could have had
if it was you and me against the world baby they got us under but we'll take whatever we want it was you and me against the world you get the car, I'll get the cash we'll take the money and run
if it was you and me against the world baby they got us under but we'll take whatever we want it was you and me against the world you get the car, I'll get the cash we'll take the money and run
you get the car, I'll get the cash we'll take the money and run
You wake up every morning looking for your answer You're waiting for your sign While Jeremiah's on his way to tell the people But you watch him pass you by.
You walk the streets at night still looking for the reason... But you don't want to try You swear the world has got you backed into a corner But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight.
You swear the light is gonna find you But it can't find you if you're waiting all the time.
Chorus: You say 'keep my head from going down' Just for a little just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little just for a little A little love if you can hear this sound Oh just give me something Something to believe in.
You spend your days alone still hoping for the truth oh But all you hear are lies But no one else is gonna tell you what to do now No one else is gonna to help you hold the line.
Sometimes it's hard to keep on living But you're the one who's got to know just when it's right.
Chorus: You say 'keep my head from going down' Just for a little just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little just for a little A little love if you can hear this sound Oh just give me something Something to believe in.
Love come take me now Love come take me Love come take me now Love come take me take me now Come take me take me now Come take me take me now Come take me take me now.
Chorus: You say 'keep my head from going down' Just for a little just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little just for a little A little love if you can hear this sound Oh just give me something Something to believe in.
Something to believe in Love come take me (Something to believe in) Love is gonna take me take me take me (Something to believe in) Love is gonna come and save me (Love is gonna save me) [Parachute - Something To Believe In (Jeremiah).
Chorus: You say 'keep my head from going down' Just for a little just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little just for a little A little love if you can hear this sound Oh just give me something Something to believe in.
[Verse 1:] She's sitting at the table, the hours get later He was supposed to be here She's sure he would have called She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway No one's said they seen him Why, is something wrong? She looks back to the window Suddenly the phone rings A voice says somethings happened That she should come right now Her mind goes to December She thinks of when he asked her He bent down on his knees first And he said [Chorus:] I, I want you forever, forever and always Through the good and the bad and the ugly We'll grow old together Forever and always [Verse 2:] She pulls up to the entrance She walks right to the front desk They lead her down a million halls a maze that's never ending They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life The house on the hillside, where they would stay [Chorus:] Stay, there forever, forever and always Through the good and the bad and the ugly We'll grow old together, and always remember Whether rich or for poor or for better We'll still love each other, forever and always [Bridge:] Then she gets and idea and calls in the nurses Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple versus She borrows some rings from the couple next door Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor She looks into his eyes, and she says [Chorus:] I, I want you forever, forever and always Through the good and the bad and the ugly We'll grow old together, and always remember Whether happy or sad or whatever We'll still love each other, forever and always Forever and always, forever and always She finishes the vows but his beeps are getting so low His voice is almost too low As he says, I love you forever, forever and always Please just remember even if I'm not there I'll always love you, forever and always
The lights go down in Brooklyn As she's walking out the door Oh and they're lining up like soldiers Going off to fight the war And all the colors look like fireworks In skies she knew before
And nights can't hide the days That the tears roll down her face Oh and the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say "Just take me away"
But the fog just sits like blankets And it's drowning out the glow You can hear voices loud and singing out A song nobody knows But to her it sounds like home
Oh cause nights can't hide the days That the tears roll down her face Oh and the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say "Just take me away, from all that I am Just take me away, from all that I am"
Cause the fog just sits like blankets And it smothers the glow, oh oh
Cause nights can't hide the days Oh that the tears roll down her face And the light hits those eyes, that she's dying to say "Just take me away, from all that I am Just take me away, from all that I am Just take me away, from all that I am Just take me away, from all that I am."
[Verse 1:] When the sun fell low in the blood red sky yeah Every house called out as we passed them by yeah She would grab my hand as the trees leaned in yeah Oh I'm still racing home from the place I've been [Chorus:] It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) Had a dream it was ours and we just didn't know yet [Verse 2:] We would drive by right through every lonely street yeah Smell the truth in her hair felt the world in my feet yeah But we were just two kids in a beat up car Oh I'm still driving home from the things I've done [Chorus:] It was all I knew, I was waiting for the big one And I stay forever (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) Had a dream it was ours that we just didn't know yet (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) American secrets (oooooh oh oooh oh ohhhh) Had a dream it was ours that was lost in the regrets [Bridge:] We were caught on the inside Left it all on that bedside Give me one more minute with those baby blues We pull up Oh she looks back and waves as I wait too long I can picture her room as the lights go on I'm still dancing along with the way it was I'm still dancing along with the way it was Give me one more, give me one more Give me one more minute with my baby Give me one more, give me one more Give me one more minute with American secrets Give me one more, give me one more Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside Every hope in the world and those bright blue eyes I'm still dancing along with the way it was Got my mind made up And I'm coming back for you I can hear your voice calling and I'll be there soon I can see you there in the bedroom by those stairs Oh I've always been running but I don't know where And ohhh oh oooh and ohhh oh oooh It took 25 years but I finally see Not the boy I was in the car that you saw me I'm still not the man that I thought I'd be But when those trumpets sound when the good Lord calls my name Oh I'm gonna be with you Oh I'm gonna be with you And ohhh oh oooh And ohhh oh oooh It took 25 years but I finally see And ohhh oh oooh And ohhh oh oooh It took 25 years but I finally see It took 25 years but I finally see It took 25 years but I think I see
Stay with me, baby stay with me, Tonight don't leave me alone. Walk with me, come and walk with me, To the edge of all we've ever known. I can see you there with the city lights, Fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes. I can breathe you in. Two shadows standing by the bedroom door, No, I could not want you more than I did right then, As our heads leaned in. Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be, But with my eyes closed all I see Is the skyline, through the window, The moon above you and the streets below. Hold my breath as you're moving in, Taste your lips and feel your skin. When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly. Stay with me, baby stay with me, Tonight don't leave me alone. She shows me everything she used to know, Picture frames and country roads, When the days were long and the world was small. She stood by as it fell apart, Separate rooms and broken hearts, But I won't be the one to let you go. Oh, I'm not sure what this is gonna be, But with my eyes closed all I see Is the skyline, through the window, The moon above you and the streets below. Hold my breath as you're moving in, Taste your lips and feel your skin. When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly. Don't run away... And it's hard to love again, When the only way it's been, When the only love you know, Just walked away... If it's something that you want, Darling you don't have to run, You don't have to go... Just stay with me, baby stay with me, Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be, But with my eyes closed all I see Is the skyline, through the window, The moon above you and the streets below. (Don't let go) Hold my breath as you're moving in, Taste your lips and feel your skin. When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly. I'm not sure what this is gonna go, In this moment all I know Is the skyline, through the window, The moon above you and the streets below. (Baby, don't let go) Hold my breath as you're moving in, Taste your lips and feel your skin. When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly.
<!-Lyrics Begin-> [Verse 1:] Well I know just what it is you want the way you love and get enough and then you move on You play the game of who you need and learn his name and walk away to find the next one You say the things your looking for look past me and door to door But darling did you think I wouldn't know
[Chorus:] I might not be what you want I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need But I'm gonna be the way I'm never gonna be the thing you want But I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need I'm gonna be your halfway (halfway, I'll be your halfway, halfway, I'll be your halfway)
[Verse 2:] You like to close your eyes and nod and picture him and what he'd say and what he looks like But all I can think is all the dreams in the world that can match up to the real thing, the real thing
[Chorus:] I might not be what you want I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need But I'm gonna be the way I'm never gonna be the thing you want But I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need I'm gonna be your halfway
[Bridge:] I'm gonna be forever yours Don't you dare believe her, no I'm gonna be forever yours She's always gonna let you go I could stay up wait the whole night But she's never gonna show
[Chorus:] I might not be what you want I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need But I'm gonna be the way I'm never gonna be the thing you want But I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need I'm gonna be your halfway
I might not be what you want (I'm gonna be forever yours) Baby I won't be what you want I might not be what you need But I'm gonna be the way ya I'm never gonna be the thing you want (I'm gonna be forever yours) But I'm gonna be your halfway I might not be what you need But I'm gonna be your halfway
Like a gun shot from miles away she's moving in. Like a rain storm without the clouds, she falls on him. Like a phone call to warn the troop that never ends.
It's the truth before the lies. It's the way she doesn't try. It's the wink before the slide. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia.
They met after work one day she laughed with him. They drove off their separate ways and then met for drinks. When he got home the silent gift was deafening.
It's the truth before the lies. It's the way she doesn't try. It's the wink before the slide. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia.
She thought that love was going to fight. She thought that love was going to take her home. She thought love was going to save her. But love just never showed.
She thought love was always watching. All we learned that love was supposed to win, But sometimes it's the demons, that are standing in the end.
He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest. She's a million miles away across the bend. She rolls over and puts her hand across his chest.
It's the truth before the lies. It's the way she doesn't try. It's the wink before the slide. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia. In Philadelphia. Oh...
