Bewteen the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times It's a mircle in itself And we know too well what that's about Still we made it through, only God knows how We must've had a little help (Must've been) [Chorus] Wild Angels, Wild Angels Watching over you and me Wild Angels, Wild Angels Baby what could it be Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough Keeping up with crazy fools like us 'Cause it's so easy to fall apart And we still break each other's heart sometimes Spent some nights on the jagged side Somehow we wake up in each other's arms (Must've been) [Chorus] There are some nights I watch you while you dream I swear I hear the sound of beating wings [Chorus] |

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares So tired of livin' solitaire Someday I'm gonna be Safe in the arms of love. Strip your heart and it starts to show Love is a high-wire act,I know Someday I'll find a net below Someday I'm gonna be Safe in the arms of love Safe in the arms of love. [Chorus] I want arms that know how to rock me Safe in the arms of love I want to fall and know that love has caught me Safe in the arms of love Safe in the arms of love. I want a heart to be forever mine Want eyes to see me satisfied Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry Some day I'm gonna be Safe in the arms of love Safe in the arms of love. |

With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothing to be said He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again But the phone just keeps on ringin' and he knows something's wrong He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin Phones are ringin' all over town North and south and east and west on Main Street up and down He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers But she's nowhere to be found Phones are ringin' all over town He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair God, if somethin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air As American flight 204 departed right on time Phones are ringin' all over town North and south and east and west on Main Street up and down He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers But she's nowhere to be found Phones are ringin' all over town Well he knows she'd never leave him She's just got to be around Phones are ringin' Phones are ringin' Phones are ringin' all over town |

People talking, think I'm all right
Think I'm doin' fine Goin' through the motions of my life Go to work now every mornin' Yeah I play the part And hide away the contents of my solemn heart But when the sun goes down And the moon is high I can't control the flood of all these tears inside And if they only knew They'd be so surprised I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin' Build that wall up high As long as they don't see the other side You've really done it Done a number, a number on my soul But I'll be damned if I'll ever let you know But when the sun goes down And the moon is high There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I Yeah, I wear it well Though it ain't my size I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise I'm not one to show emotion Like some fools I see I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve I don't miss you Not for a moment I'm gonna be okay Words of wisdom spoken By the light of day But when the sun goes down And the moon is high Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide I'm still in love with you It's all smoke and lights I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise |

You have worn a path
Right up to my heart You come in for a while but you don't stay And I've come to realize That your promises are lies To buy you time when you want to get away [Chorus] You must think my heart has swingin' doors The way that you keep comin' back and forth I can feel it's getting close to closing time And I won't be leavin' my heart open any more Well, I've heard you're back in town I suppose you'll come around When nights are cold and friends are hard to find You always seem to wait 'Til all the pieces are in place Then you walk back in and rearrange my life [Chorus] So if you're walking down my street just keep on walking by I'm hangin' out a sign sayin' this well has run dry [Chorus] |

They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed Then they kissed She knows there's something on his mind He'll tell her in due time What it is He says "I've never built Your mansion on a hill Or warmed you in the Spanish sun I simply blink my eye And think as years fly by Of all the things we've never done" She smiles and takes his hand in hers And says "It just occurred To me now The thought that brings you such regret What hasn't happened yet It makes me proud" "You never walked away When I needed you to stay Or made me feel I'm not the one There've been no broken vows And the reason we're here now Is all the things we've never done" "We've never grown apart You never broke my heart With secrets that you've kept me from We've never been untrue And I'm still here with you Through all the things we've never done" |

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might-a set the west coast on fire Two months later got a troublin' mind 'Cause my baby moved out and left me behind But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine Well, the way he left sure turned my head around Seemed like over night he just up and put me down Ain't gonna let it bother me today 'Cause I've been workin' and I'm too tired anyway But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine Well, I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know I've been doin' all I can but opportunity sure comes slow I'd be out in the sun all day But I've been sweepin' out a warehouse in West L.A. But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight and I got two more bottles of wine |

I'm rolling out of Bakersfield
My own private hell on wheels But this time I'm gone for good And I've never gone this far before Beyond the slamming of the back screen door But you never loved me like you should And there ain't no telling what I'll find But I might as well move down the line There's no comfort here in your zip code I'd rather break down on the highway With no one to share my load And cry on the shoulder of the road It makes me feel a little low Steel guitar on the radio And it's kinda scary the way these truckers fly So this how leaving feels Drinking coffee and making deals with the One above To get me though the night And there ain't no telling what I'll find But I might as well move down the line There's no comfort here in your zip code I'd rather break down on the highway With no one to share my load And cry on the shoulder of the road 'Cause there ain't no telling what I'll find |

Well, I was born full speed ahead
I was racin' time my mama said I really covered some ground 'til you slowed me down And took my life where angels fear to tread Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel When everybody thinks they're mine It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman But honey you've been drivin' all the time Your love's so unconditional You never push and you never pull And your love is so blind You walk a step behind You start me every day and let me roll Everywhere I go your hands are on the wheel When everybody thinks they're mine It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman But honey you've been drivin' all the time And with each new day that passes by And every dream I dare to try You lift me gently up So tenderly with love And give me even stronger wings to fly |

I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me I don't know where this feeling comes from Surely it was meant to be For I have know you even in my dreams My eyes are open, my heart can see [Chorus] As sure as stars light the midnight sky As sure as children wonder why As sure as newborn babies cry I was born to give my love to you Born to give my love to you Heaven must be holding on To all the love I'm feeling now Here we are this is a moment I believe it's our turn somehow Hearts together, hands across the night One forever, finally in sight [Chorus] I was born to give my love to you (I was born to give my love to you) I was born to give my love to you I was born to give my love to you |

The sky's been grey every day since I lost you
But I know the sun is shinin' somewhere, beyond the blue My eyes were red when you said that we were through But now I can see better days for me, just beyond the blue Beyond the blue, on the other side of lonely And it's only a matter of time, until I'm Lookin' back and feelin' like I'm over you When these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue Beyond the blue, on the other side of lonely And it's only a matter of time, until I'm On my feet and I meet somebody new And I fall in love again beyond the blue When these tears are gone and I'm beyond the blue |
