BACK TO ME
02:58
|
|||
take it from the start
oh
it’s always been my favorite part
nothing like
those looser ends
and where we go from there
depends
not upon some best laid plans
‘cause those always
fall apart
but you don’t want to say it’s so
right now, it’s the only thing you know
let it be, let it be
let it be and you’ll come back to me
back to me, back to me
here we go again
spin
this merry-go-‘round that we’re in
isn’t the end
just another start
come apart
too soon
if you’ll be my sun, let me be your moon
let me glow
across your room
but you don’t want to say it’s so
you said it let you down down down
let it be, let it be
let it be and it’ll come back to me
back to me, back to me

KNOW WHAT I MEAN
02:44
|
|||
somedays i've got it
got it all figured out
somedays i'm walking
in the shadow of a doubt
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
heart attack,
cardiac arrest
you've done what you can do
but it still ain't your best
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
tell me what it is that we've got to do
tell me what it is, it's nothing new
it's okay, anyway
we don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to talk about it
look me up, call me up
on the phone
all by yourself
but never really alone
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
in between, in the seams
ready or not
not what you wanted
just what you got
you know what i mean
you know what i mean
tell me what it is that we've got to do...
you've always done what's right
nothing wrong with that, but you might
know what i mean
know what i mean
tell me what it is that we've got to do
tell me what it is, it's nothing new
it's okay, anyway
we don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to talk about it

RUNAWAY
02:44
|
|||
funny how a dart to the heart
goes straight to your head
even now, I can’t say what you said
all the things you thought true
all the pictures of you
and before you left me
you said
I’m gonna run away
yeah, I’m gonna run away
all my time,
wasted
waiting for you
and if I
had to do it again
I don’t know if I could
you're kind of like a thought I forgot
or a dream left in bed
either way, I can’t say what you said
sometimes just getting through
is the best you can
and in the end
I’ll come and find you
when you run away
yeah, when you run away
oh, when you run away

BLUE
03:05
|
|||
everybody I know
says it’s true
I could never have you
the way I want to
so, if you’re asking
that’s why I’m blue
I’m with the boys getting high
that's nothing new
you, you’re with the girls
most likely to
so, if you’re asking
that’s why I’m blue
blue
‘cause you don’t need me like you used to
you don’t need me like you used to
blue
blue
looking for a reason
I can’t find a clue
listening to old love songs
to get me through
so, if you’re asking
that’s why I’m blue
blue
‘cause you don’t need me like you used to
you don’t need me like you used to
blue
blue

DON'T HAVE YOU
02:20
|
|||
searching through my pockets, my desk drawers
can’t imagine what I’m looking for
oh, I don’t have you
a simple sentiment, a silver ring
to think of all the trouble little things bring
and I don’t have you
though I’ve wanted to
no, I don’t have you
a bird on a wire calls my name
sings its song, always the same
finds my ears but gets lost in my brain
once again
coming back after so long away
it’s not so simple, these words we say
when I don’t have you
a crooked smile, a bit unsure
the same way that we always were
and I don’t have you
though I’ve wanted to
no, I don’t have you
a heart on a string swings, won’t let go
tells me everything I need to know
the clock it talks, but it won’t slow
no, it won’t slow
once again
I don’t have you

the cruelest month of the year
ended the way that it began here
in fireworks & fear
of losing what we hold so dear
why are we here
if just to count our days
if just to walk through the mirrors and maze
of a life we’ve lived on loan
with regrets & mistakes you don’t even own
here in the cruelest month of the year
all that we are
all that we fear
they will live here
in the cruelest month of the year
well, time will let you know
yes, time has a way, a way all its own
to lift you up so high
to lay you down so low
always the cruelest month of the year
all that we are
all that we fear
it will stay here
in the cruelest month of the year

SHOULD I
02:37
|
|||
should I, should I, should I
be so confused
should I, should I, should I
be used to this by now
like it’s all all right somehow
this feeling I can’t lose
how am I gonna shake these blues
from me
today
I threw the curtains wide
today
I had nothing to hide
should I, should I, should I
be so confused
should I, should I, should I
be used to this by now
like it’s all all right somehow
this feeling I can’t lose
how am I gonna shake these blues
from me
tonight
I saw the setting light
tonight
I’m going to set it right
should I
should I
should I….

WHY WOULD YOU KNOW?
02:13
|
|||
I, I thought I knew
but I was just a fool
oh, oh, oh
I, I, I
keep looking for something
that’s passed me by
You , you were so sure
but of course, but of course, of course, you were
oh, oh, oh
I, I, I
keep looking for something
that’s passed me by
I, I, I
oh, oh, oh
you never asked
so why would you know?
now if all the seven oceans
they are but one sea
then maybe, baby, someday
you will come back to me
We, we’ve been here before
once or twice or maybe more
oh, oh, oh
I, I, I
keep looking for something
that’s passed me by
I, I, I
oh, oh, oh
you never asked
so why would you know?

THE STORY
03:16
|
|||
you have a heart that beats inside your chest
your eyes always open wide,
a mind that never rests
yes, you have the thoughts you thought you’d thought inside your head
you have the deeds you’ve done,
the words that you have said
this is the story of what you need
you have a place to lie your head down every night
when every day, it ends and your sorrows are nowhere in sight
and whether you know it
no, you don’t know it
no, nobody does
we have thing we hide
deep down inside
that we trust
this is the story of what you need
it’s never quite as much as you think it might be
you have what most men lack in a solid back
bone
and you don’t need a house when you have someone to call home
you have a watch that’s wrapped around your wrist,
a lot in life that is star-kissed
you know what you have,
you know what you’ve missed
this is the story of what you need
no, never quite as much as you think it might be
this is the story of what you need
no, never quite as much as you think it might be

THAT FEELING
03:10
|
|||
what do you say
when it’s all okay
when it’s all all right
and you can sleep through the night
what do you do
when it’s all been done
yeah, where is the fire
and where did the fun go-oh-oh
oh, oh, oh
and I don’t know when it happened
and I don’t know where it’s gone
but I know
it’s moved on
yeah, I know it’s moved on
that feeling that you know-oh-oh
and I know it wasn’t just one moment
I’d have known it when it came on
but, oh, it’s moved on
now I know, it’s moved on
say so long to
that feeling that you feel
when you feel you can do no wrong
where do you go
when you already know
how each song it is sung
before it’s even begun
oh you say that you know-oh-oh
oh, oh, oh

WHAT WILL BE WILL BE
03:18
|
|||
there's a million stars
in the sky
there’s only one I see
you & me
and what will be will be
que sera, sera
do you,
do you feel it…
there's so many roads
I could be on
there’s only one I need
you & me
and what will be will be
sing ‘la la-la la’
do you,
do you feel it…
do you,
do you feel it…
just how many rays
of the sun
does someone need?
it’s so hard to see
that what will be will be
as we move along
do you,
do you feel it…
do you,
do you feel it…
do you,
do you feel it, too?
