Locked up tight but holdin' the key Clock keeps tickin' like it's laughin' at me I wonder What spell I'm under Days go by in a pulseless haze Who's that person that's wearin' my face Denyin' What he's hidin' I can't go on like this I won't let myself miss the rest of my life When something's come and gone What good is holdin' on? Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? I part my lips to speak But the words are out of reach I guess that really means There's nothin' left to say I guess we could carry on livin' asleep Who is the fool who could choose to just keep pretendin' That this ain't endin'? I wish you all that I wish for myself To have that ache of emptiness behind us And not still inside us It's time to take that dare There's still a world out there waitin' for me When something's come and gone What good is holdin' on? Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? I part my lips to speak But the words are out of reach I guess that really means There's nothin' left to say We did the best we could Just like we thought we should But sometimes you've got to just let go When something's come and gone What good is holdin' on? Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday? I part my lips to speak But the words are out of reach I guess that really means There's nothin' left to say There's nothin' left to say Nothin' left to say |

Well look at me the guy who's got it all Tryin' to read my own writing on the wall Not happy 'til the sadness comes To keep me company Oh but what becomes of fools who love like me Who's gonna dry my tears When I'm crying Who's gonna hold my hand When I'm dying Who's gonna set me right when Everything is wrong Who's gonna love me When you're gone Sure as winter goes and comes around again I will be my own undoing in the end I'll find the answers I've been searching for In your goodbye kiss 'Cause I don't deserve you and you don't deserve this Who's gonna dry my tears When I'm crying And who's gonna hold my hand When I'm dying Who's gonna set me right when Everything is wrong who's gonna love me When you're gone Never happy 'til the darkness comes And rains down on me Down on me And who's gonna dry my tears When I'm crying And who's gonna hold my hand When I'm dying Who's gonna set me right when Everything is wrong Who's gonna love me When you're gone Who's gonna love me when you're gone Baby when you're gone Who's gonna love me when you're gone Who's gonna love me |

My life is one big smile As I cross off the things on my list The splendor goes on for miles I don't know what could be left to wish I'm just living the dream I do all right if you know what I mean And I've closed the door And locked it tight And turned off every single light Another perfect day is all but through Now me getting over you Is the one thing left to do Yeah, yeah, yeah The whole world has gone insane The paper says so every day And I can always feel the rain Even when the sun's in the way Yeah just living the dream I wish my eyes could forget what they've seen I've closed the door And locked it tight And turned off every single light And walked away just like you asked me to Now me getting over you Is the one thing left to do Yeah I know that it's me who's not well But there's no one but you I can tell As I close the door And lock it tight And turn off every single light And walk away just like you asked me to But me getting over you Is the one thing left to do Yeah, yeah, yeah Is the one thing left to do |

Elusive happiness Can be like promises That rest so gently on our pillow We stood out on the ledge And leaned over the edge And nearly fell right through that window There were those who had us done by now Baby, we've only just begun The world may crash and burn Or suddenly just cease to turn But love goes on It may look out of reach And time may rob us like a thief But love goes on Our love goes on No one may recognize What lives behind our eyes Sometimes the good times are the hardest And when my strength is gone It's you that I lean on A light at the end of all my darkness And in the end if I know nothing else The answer is only in your arms The world may crash and burn Or suddenly just cease to turn But love goes on It may look out of reach And time may rob us like a thief But love goes on And in the end if I know nothing else The answer is right here in your arms It's always in your arms The world may crash and burn Or suddenly just cease to turn But love goes on It may look out of reach And time may rob us like a thief But love goes on Oh love goes on It may look out of reach And time may rob us like a thief But love goes on |

I've been trying to open the door To the secret of my destiny And every new road I think is the one Seems to lead right back to me I've looked for a way to be wiser A way to be strong Now I see the answer was hiding In me all along And I'm ready to fly Over the sun Like a rocket to heaven And I'm ready to soar Right through the sky Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high I've always had wings But I wasn't ready to fly Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood Like so many others I know So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on When I should've been letting go I was given the gift to find it The spirit inside me But I never really imagined All I could be And I'm ready to fly Over the sun Like a rocket to heaven And I'm ready to soar Right through the sky Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high I've always had wings But I wasn't ready to fly The answer to all of my wonder Was right in my hands Now it's time for me to discover All that I am And I'm ready to fly Over the sun Like a rocket to heaven And I'm ready to soar Right through the sky Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high I've always had wings But I wasn't ready to fly I've always had wings Now I'm finally ready to fly |

There's been no sunlight Since the day you said goodbye Since the moment that my life Turned into a masquerade I can't even pretend to Paste a smile across my face All my dreams have been erased There's nothing left to save me And you You're the only one can stop my sky from falling You're the only one who's name I keep on calling When everything is closing in And you You're the only one can stop this heart from aching You're the only one who can stop me from shaking And put me back together Again What I'd give just to wake up And wipe your memory from my eyes But I can't wish for bluer skies I've never been quite so hopeless And you You're the only one can stop my sky from falling You're the only one who's name I keep on calling When everything is closing in And you You're the only one can stop this heart from aching You're the only one who can stop me from shaking And put me back together Again And if you stay away I fear it will all be too much And if you stay away I'll be a man who's lost his touch |

Onward I always say These things happen everyday I should be able to smile by now But I don't remember how With you went warmth in summer All of the stars in the sky With you went perfect sunsets Sleeping my way through the night Yeah with you went Everything good in this world Desperate for your touch I haven't been needing much Why let the music play? I can't hear it anyway Cause with you went The scent of flowers Don't they just die anyway? And with you went All the rainbows Now when it rains it's just gray Yeah, with you went Everything good in this world And I thought of doing something rash In the hopes of making you feel bad But it seems that it's always me that ends up cryin' With you went All the rainbows Now when it rains it's just gray Ah, with you went Everything good Everything good In my world |

Seek and you shall find what you may already have.
Sometimes it's your own shadow standing in your path. I have spent my life with a vision of myself, But I may have been somebody, somebody else. I feel a change in the tide As I hold my heart open wide. Never Knew what I could be. I never felt the power inside of me. Now I stand in all the wonder That the mirror couldn't see. I have the power inside of me, yeah. I have the power inside of me. Every time I held a rose, I only felt the thorns. I feel like today's the day I finally was born. Now that I see me through these eyes, I can do more than fantasize. Never Knew what I could be. I never felt the power inside of me. Now I stand in all the wonder That the mirror couldn't see! I have the power inside of me, oh woah. Inside of me, Inside of me! Yeah. |

Summer came
And left without a warning All at once I looked and you were gone And how you're looking back at me Searching for a way that we can be like we were before Now I'm back to what I knew before you Somehow the city doesn't look the same I'd give my life for one more night of having you here to hold me tight Oh, please take me there again And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights I still recall the walks along the beaches And the way your hair would glisten in the sun Rising in the afternoon Making love to you under the moon Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence Every single breath you took was mine We can have it all again Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings you heart to mine And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights There's only so much I can say So please don't run away from what we have together It's only you and me tonight So let's stay lost in flight Oh, won't you please surrender And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights -해석- 여름은 왔다가 아무 말도 없이 가버렸어요 문득 바라보니 당신이 떠났더군요 우리가 사이가 예전으로 돌아갈 수 있는 길을 찾으며 뒤돌아 나를 바라 보던 당신의 모습 이제 난 당신을 만나기 전으로 돌아왔어요 어찌된 일인지 도시의 모습은 예전같지 않아요 나를 꼬옥 안아 줄 당신과의 하룻밤을 위해서라면 목숨도 버리겠어요 제발, 날 다시 그 때로 데려가 주세요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 해변을 따라 걸었던 산책, 햇살에 반짝이던 당신의 머릿결, 오후에 일어나 달님아래 나누던 사랑을 난 아직도 기억해요 아무 말없이 지샜던 그 모든 밤을 기억하나요 당신의 숨결 하나하나에 난 매료됐었죠 우린 다시 돌아갈 수 있어요 태양에 당신의 마음이 내게 끌리면 나와 함께 있어주겠다고 말해 줘요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 내겐 할 말이 너무도 많아요 제발 우리 함께 했던 날들을 버리고 떠나지 말아요 오늘밤은 당신과 나 뿐인걸요 하늘을 날 듯 빠져 보는 거에요 내 사랑을 받아 주지 않을래요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 |

we're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game. I'm getting tired of feeling this way, what can a single man do? what can he say? Every day you walk the edge of a knife, you're left with nothing at the end of your life. They've got their hands in your pocket, they'll take the clothes off your back... ...They'll stop you like a heart attack. We put people into power but we fight our wars alone, they take such good care of the rest of the world, but, what about the folks? At home, oh yeah! Point the finger at the man you chose, he'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes. He sits in judgement like a king on a throne, 'till that November when he'll beg for a bone... ...Brother, don't ignore the facts...! |

I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white Though I could see you, I couldn't reach you You faded into the light And when the sun turns a dream to reality I'm left with such an empty space I feel your spirit, know that I'm near it I swear I can see your face Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain Like it happened only yesterday No use in trying, to stop the crying I can't make it go away Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you Calling you And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore Where is the healing you promised me Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever Hear me calling you Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you Calling you And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore Calling you And I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore |

You're the queen of your own little world - you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're nothing more than high paid trash Everybody wants to know what goes on in your head Pity if they found out that you're lonely in your bed Maybe it all happened to you just a little too fast Won't let anybody touch you So you do it for yourself Plain to see there's a woman ... Cryin' out for help You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, nothing can set you free Your demons haunt you endlessly You face the end of your youth in a tired little masquerade You talk to people with a tongue like a newly sharpened razor blade Yours is not a life that lets you take a look inside Morals and convictions meet a fate of genocide But in the end you'll be sleeping in the bed you made All you want's a daddy The one you never had (There's) a need for understanding ... Achin' in you bad You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me There's something that you'd rather be Take a look around you now before it's much too late Make the choice to change or be a victim of your fate All your life you've been running from the girl inside You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are And your fame won't get you very far You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see yeah There's someone that you'd rather be .... You're a superstar ... And your money won't get you very far You're a mystery, and it's plain to me yeah There's someone that you'd rather be ...."

She's still another party blonde / Who had it all her way
Now just another hanger on / With a faded resume He's gonna be a leading man / In the Gary Cooper mold Now working at a pretzel stand / But it's him that's getting sold Big dreamer gonna take the town / But she's running out of time Still singing at a sleazy lounge / To a house of drooling swine Self satisfied narcissist / With a body like a god He's thinking that's all there is / But I don't want that job Streets of pain / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Won't it finally be obvious / That there's very little chance Can't they see it's a Greyhound bus / And not their handsome prince Isn't anybody satisfied / With the average girl next door Does she have to be glamorized / So the world will love her more Streets of pain / Sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain / Never felt so cold Streets of pain / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told Pretty girl becomes a socialite / Standing in somebody else's light Anything can happen late at night In the morning she'll be out of sight Made a million on a lucky streak / Threw it all away as foolishly One of many comic tragedies / What else can there be So you better get on the road / To the desolation station And you better bring all you own / It's a permanent vacation We're waiting here with open arms / But it isn't what it seems Just looking for the boulevard / On the trail of broken dreams Streets of pain / They don't hear the crying Streets of pain / Never felt the tears Streets of pain / They just keep on lying Get it through your head / 'Cause some things never change Streets of pain / Sinking like a rock in a river Streets of pain / Never felt so cold Streets of pain / Lower than a snake can slither Not to mention all the / Stories never told |

Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
For something I'd do for free But there's still something missing that a man can't hold It's like a weight over me So scared the thrill will be gone But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes Just keeping up with this town I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs I've got to learn to slow down My life makes it hard to complain But there's time I'd take my school days back again All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone Four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep I keep the pressure far away as I can But it still comes back again, back again, yeah, yeah My life makes it hard to complain But there's time I'd take my school days back again All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I know I'm not alone All I've got is all I need But I get no sleep and I'm sure I'm not alone I'm not alone, yeah |

I've been searching / Not the first or the last
Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass Time is turning for the rest of the world While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl They say that hearts don't stay broken Even though the scars remain And eyes don't stay swollen Even if it feels that way But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how Cause I've gotten beyond the agony And my perspective is saving me Never doubted what the cards would reveal And if the joker showed his ugly face Not that big of a deal It's just a moment in the scheme of it all But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall But then a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how Cause I've gotten beyond the agony And my perspective is saving me With all the confusion How does anybody come through But life is illusion And no one can tell you what you've gotta do You know a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away (Repeat Chorus |

Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same Out of my mind But the memory remains unchanged stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt Return to sender could only make things worse Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Don't ask me why Why I've lived with this all alone Locked up inside And it's cutting me to the bone Love is a stranger avoiding me Beware of danger's the only sign I see Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Are you listening Is there something that you'd like to say Am I getting through Are you just gonna leave me this way Girl, You've got to break these chains around my heart Before it tears me in two You've got to break these chains around my heart That's all I'm asking of you You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life |

The warmest day of all my life
You came to me, I held you in my hands And something changed forever I want you for a better time To know the beauty of our Mother Earth Cherish her forever Never felt in such a hurry So little time, so much to do I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away This is your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way I still recall a day so clear I saw the future in my mother's eyes Filled with tears of sorrow The years roll by, the times do change The truth around us harder to disguise As we face tomorrow So many promises were made me So little hope remains alive I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to find the way You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone I am a man in search of reasons Though I am still as much to blame It's up to me to leave you more than just my name This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way This is your world now I want to chase all your fears away Fight for your world now I know that somehow you'll find your way |

I was born on the banks of Eternity,
A page of the history it teaches. Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane, Leaving everything along the way in pieces. Some may have cheered, some may have wondered, If I am flesh, if I am stone. Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder. You are the light that has led me back home. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. A Southern boy has it harder sometimes. It's like you were climbing a razor. You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust, And the man in the mirror was a stranger. Look at me now, a soulless survivor. No mask can hide the man that I've made. You ease my pain. You make it silent. Slowly I feel it beginning to fade. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. I want to feel it, Rushing over me into the tide. I want to taste it, Every moment 'til the end of my life! I have laid still, adrift in your memory, Hoping your faith would erase all the years. Maybe some time, maybe some magic, Maybe your love will make everything clear. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. There are no expectations hiding in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this . . . disguise. |

Of all the things I know you’ve heard about me Really just a pack of ies You see the truth before your eyes around me Hard to keep it straight The real from the ruse Probably way too late What can I do, but it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image Would it be too much to ask That you could just gvie me the chance to prove it Or would it only be a waste of time To try to make you change your mind and use it What I’ve been looking for Isn’t what I thought Not behind the golden door You’re all I’ve got, and it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image What I’ve been looking for Isn’t what I thought Not behind the golden door You’re all I’ve got, and it’s Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see Just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image Not what you think Not what you hear Not what you see It’s just the image It’s all on a string All fantasy Not really me It’s just the image |

Never knew love before.
Never dreamed there could be something more. Felt my heart overflow With the danger of needing you so. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. You are the fire, Every desire. Breathless we fall in love. Love is the answer, We are the dancers. Breathless we fall in love, We fall in love. You've crept into my soul, And I'm ready to lose all control, Let our hearts fill with light. Every movement you make is so right. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. No need to worry, No need to hurry. Breathless we fall in love. Love is the answer, We are the dancers. Breathless we fall in love. We fall in love. It's a mystery I can't explain, But I shiver when I hear your name. |

It's hard to see reason when there's so little
hope alive, But this is the season to put faith in innocent eyes. We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch. We need to start over again. So just let it wander, 'cause you're never too old to pretend. Tell you, just a little miracle is all you need to believe Just a little miracle is all you need to believe. It's not too late to wake up. Don't make no difference who you are. Just take off your make-up, And discover the child in your heart. We're all thinking too much, we're so out of touch. We need to start over again. So just let it wander 'cause you're never too old to pretend. |

Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong, Yet now we're giving up without a fight But I know when you're gone, I'll wish I held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight I don't want our love to cause you so much pain If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye Let's forget about the past and who's to blame, 'Cause when this is all gone, We'll wish we'd held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight How could this love be in danger That used to be so good, so right? To think that fate could make us strangers Has thrown me in your arms tonight! So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight So, baby, surrender . . . |

Just when I believed I couldn't ever want for more
This ever changing world pushes me through another door I saw you smile And my mind could not erase the beauty of your face Just for awhile Won't you let me shelter you Hold on to the nights Hold on to the memories I wish that I could five you something more That I could be yours How do we explain something that took us by surprise Promise in vain, love that is real but in disguise What happens now Do we break another rule Let our lovers play the fool I don't know how To stop feeling this way Chorus Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me And the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free Everytime I look into your eyes, I'm helplessly aware That the someone I've been Searching for is right there Hold on to the night |

My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes That boy's not right Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumers and the lies And saw the man inside We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking alone And never came home Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me I swear I felt her by the river I swear I felt her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by And how it's done me wrong There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I felt her by the river I swear I felt her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town |

I have tasted my own hunger Sold my body to survive Some have paid to scratch the surface But they can't touch What's inside ** repeat How I long for something better Than this life I know too well Lord, I know I'm bound for heaven Cause I've done my times in hell ** repeat |

Summer came
And left without a warning All at once I looked and you were gone And how you're looking back at me Searching for a way that we can be like we were before Now I'm back to what I knew before you Somehow the city doesn't look the same I'd give my life for one more night of having you here to hold me tight Oh, please take me there again And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights I still recall the walks along the beaches And the way your hair would glisten in the sun Rising in the afternoon Making love to you under the moon Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence Every single breath you took was mine We can have it all again Say that you'll be with me when the sun brings you heart to mine And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights There's only so much I can say So please don't run away from what we have together It's only you and me tonight So let's stay lost in flight Oh, won't you please surrender And I remember how you loved me Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye I remember every moment of those endless summer nights -해석- 여름은 왔다가 아무 말도 없이 가버렸어요 문득 바라보니 당신이 떠났더군요 우리가 사이가 예전으로 돌아갈 수 있는 길을 찾으며 뒤돌아 나를 바라 보던 당신의 모습 이제 난 당신을 만나기 전으로 돌아왔어요 어찌된 일인지 도시의 모습은 예전같지 않아요 나를 꼬옥 안아 줄 당신과의 하룻밤을 위해서라면 목숨도 버리겠어요 제발, 날 다시 그 때로 데려가 주세요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 해변을 따라 걸었던 산책, 햇살에 반짝이던 당신의 머릿결, 오후에 일어나 달님아래 나누던 사랑을 난 아직도 기억해요 아무 말없이 지샜던 그 모든 밤을 기억하나요 당신의 숨결 하나하나에 난 매료됐었죠 우린 다시 돌아갈 수 있어요 태양에 당신의 마음이 내게 끌리면 나와 함께 있어주겠다고 말해 줘요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 내겐 할 말이 너무도 많아요 제발 우리 함께 했던 날들을 버리고 떠나지 말아요 오늘밤은 당신과 나 뿐인걸요 하늘을 날 듯 빠져 보는 거에요 내 사랑을 받아 주지 않을래요 당신이 날 어떻게 사랑했는지 알아요 우리가 이별을 고하기 전까지 우리에는 주어진 건 시간뿐이었어요 그 오랜 여름날 밤을 난 순간순간 기억해요 |

Waiting at the station with the workday wind a blowin', I've got nothing to do but watch the passers by. Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing,' And they don't see it showing. Why do I?

All in a world of our own I think it's gone far enough, I say we call their bluff Somebody's got to be strong If you get one wild night in life, oh, you'd better get it right If it's the only life you get What is it worth if it's you and nothing left, there's a * Repeat Making a difference, seeing what nobody sees I won't wait for deliverance 'cause I know it's waiting for me Long as you know which side the sun rises on everyone Whenever you go, you'll understand Holding the light in the center of your hand, there's a * Repeat |

I've got the fever poison in my veins
My mind ain't working right I know the answer, the way to ease this pain Only got myself to fight I can see clearly but choose to be blind A slave to desire Holding me, scolding me, changing your mind You're like playing with fire *I need you I want to stay on this soul motion ride There is no danger when you're here by my side Given some distance just a little time right and wrong seems clear But my sense of reason is nothing but unkind Everytime that you're near Over and over I say to myself Ooh, she's only playing ten thousand reasons to find someone else Still I hear myself saying * Repeat (x2) I'm out here on the edge And I know what's in store It should be over and done, just let go and run but I've tasted too much Nothing's the same anymore * Repeat (x2) |

Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity hangs by a thread I lose my way but still you seem to understand Now and forever I will be your man Sometimes I just hold you Too caught up in me to see I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given to me I'll try to show you each and every way I can Now and forever I will be your man Now I can rest my worries and always be sure That I won't be alone anymore If I'd only known you were there all the time All this time Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand Now and forever I will be your man Now and forever I will be your man |

Born and raised in the windy city
I moved west to kick start a dream What I found was a town without pity That'll chew you up and swallow you clean I'm amazed at the life I'm livin' Don't want to seem like I'm rockin' the boat But it ain't all about taking but giving I feel something tugging at my coat No one ever told me it would be like this That there'd be something called home that's too hard to miss I'm saying goodbye to the glamour Back to the old neighborhood All that I need is a place that I can breathe I'm saying Goodbye to Hollywood Done my time in the Hoodoo Jungle Tired of waking up in another man's dream I've got the ball and I ain't gonna fumble Gonna make a winner of this team All that ever mattered were the goals I chased Now, I'm ready to run in the human race I'm saying goodbye to the glamour Life never tasted so good All that I need is a place that I can breathe I'm saying Goodbye to Hollywood Me and the Mrs. done made up our minds We're gonna give our boys a little less sunshine Call it runnin' say what you like I've got my own definition of paradise I'd rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive I may be cold but my soul is alive |

There is no understanding in this hostile age
Sometimes I feel just like a bat locked in a cage It's hard to live beyond the walls It ain't no life at all But don't you tear it down Take your chances, I'll take mine Chasing thunder is only wasted time Got no reason to walk that line Heaven's waiting if I can make it home tonight And with the years I've found a faith that gets me by It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lines My baby's left a light for me That's really all I need They won't bring me down chorus Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing You need some loving to make you feel alive In less than a moment, life can be stolen I know where I'm going, gotta get me there tonight I'm holding on to what I can Like any other lucky man Love won't strike me love won't sell me out |

You never know what we could be in store for
The way it goes we're in for more of the same One step beyond the flame The thread of life, the finely woven pattern Reveals designs in silent laughter and rhyme One picture at a time *There ain't nothing left behind us Not a doubt inside us If the angel calls tomorrow. There's nothing we haven't said. There ain't nothing left behind us Nothing but a blind trust I would beg, steal or borrow to never lose you again It's down to us to figure out the secret It's not enough to wait for pieces to fall The writing isn't on the wall Take my hand, we'll face the fire together To distant lands, but we can weather the storm Keeping each other warm * Repeat There's never been an easy way Everybody is bound to make mistakes You just do what you think is right Then laugh 'till you cry 'till you scream at the night * Repeat |

Your situation's in need of help
You're gettin' so you don't know yourself You wear his ring like a cheap disguise But I can see you got wandering eyes Don't believe it's just the clothes that make the man No one else can love you like I know I can *I got what you want takes more than money to turn you on I got what you need C'mon baby take a chance on me Somethin' 'bout your smile seems counterfeit It ain't in your to be a hypocrite So he's got a mansion got lots of cash You live like a queen but feel like trash I can save you if you put your heart in mine Baby, can't you see we're two of the same kind. Yeah * Repeat Baby, there ain't nothin' keeping chains on you Don't you let your head make up your mind I can't get you off my mind I'm afraid I may go blind Won't you let me take you for a ride. Yeah |

It's a peaceful thing to iknow that freedom as a rule belongs to me
There's something very wrong when the color of a man is all you see After all this time how can a single voice explain Any reason for the pain we all seen it's not a dream *One man stood tall And faced the devil with his back to the wall And took one step closer to heaven above So he took a stand and walked where no one else would dare to even try It was the only way If not for bravery, the soul would surely die and right before my eyes He gave his life unselfishly so that all the father's Children could be free like you and me * Repeat Before his work is done We're got to put an end to this game of choosing sides I want us to be one And I won't let it go 'till it's over I'm here waiting * Repeat I'm waiting, waiting |

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway,
I saw the Empire State laid low. And life went on beyond the palaces. The all bought Cadillacs, Left there long ago. We held a concert out in Brooklyn. To watch the Island bridges blow. It turned our power down, And drove us underground, But we went right on with the show. I've seen the lights go out on Broadway, I saw the ruins at life end. You know we almost didn't notice it, We see it all the time, On 42nd Street. It burned the churches up in Harlem. Like in that Spanish Civil War. The flames were everywhere, And no one really cared, It always burned up there before. I've seen the rats lie down on Broadway, And I watched the Miami skyline fall. The folks were waving at the Battery The union went on strike, They never settled at out. They sent a carrier out from Norfolk, And picked the Yankees up for free. They said the Queen could stay And threw the crowns away, And sent Manhattan out to sea. She knows those lights right on Broadway. That was so many years ago. Before we all lived here in Florida. Before the Mafia, Took over Mexico. There are too many who remember. They say a handful still survive. To tell the world about, The way the lights went out, To keep the memory alive. |

Fool's game to risk perfection
Out here alone on a wire Unsuspecting victim of desire You wear a thousand faces A master of disguise And I'm addicted to the madness in your eyes You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the shadow of a doubt Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Your charms have made me suffer Why do I care where you are I'm afraid my dignity has strayed too far Can't read what you're writing Unable to make the call Do you want me desperately Or not at all You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the one I dream about Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Can't read what you're writing Unable to make the call Do you want me desperately Or not at all You will always be the one I dream about And I know my heart won't beat the same again You will always be the shadow of a doubt Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been Now I go crazy wondering what we might have been I go crazy wondering what we might have been |

The world’s greatest mystery
Is love between the woman and the man Some guys are Romeos Others simply do the best they can I’m just your average, ordinary Joe Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know What’s a man supposed to do I don’t get no kick from nine to five And I’m not a man who thinks it’s true It’s a woman’s place to keep a love alive I’ve watched enough daytime TV To know my baby’s needs But sometimes I swear that’s she’s impossible to please She says You give me all that I want of your money, baby But you never take me dancing I really think I do a lot to show How I feel about her in my way Roses on our anniversary Candlelight and me on her birthday Just when I thought that I had it all worked out Now she says I still don’t know what it’s all about She says You give me all that I want of your money, baby But you never take me dancing You give me sweet little talk, call me honey, baby Bu you never take me dancing I’m just your average, ordinary Joe Tryin’ to learn things I never knew I had to know Chorus |

Your eyes burn through me
Oh, like a raging fire I fall blissfully Everytime you say just one little word You know it makes me crazy You ask way too much Oh, when you say that I can look but do not touch I have never wanted any other girl The way I want you, baby I surrender to what I can’t control Drunk with desire, I’ve opened up my soul You know I would go around the world, I’d take you anywhere Oh, baby, anywhere For a touch of heaven Tell me what you want, I’ll give you anything Oh, baby, everything For a touch of heaven I have dreamed of this Your body next to mine Drowning in every kiss How I’ve longed to find my one and only girl And I found her in you, baby All I ever wanted is everything that you are Don’t leave me longing Be tender with my heart Chorus Everyone says you’ve been leading me on Too late for warnings, I’m already gone Ooh, I surrender to what I can’t control Drunk with desire I’m giving you my soul Chorus |

No needles, no rehab.
No minors, no murder rap. Where's that leave a guy like me, Windy City Square? If all that sells is tragedy, I haven't got a prayer. Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track? Just to say I took the fall, but "look who's comin' back!" What's the story, where's the dirt? Nobody's happy 'til somebody gets hurt. I don't want to keep up with all that. The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat. Yeah. Normal childhood, beautiful wife. 'Scuse me having a wonderful life. Why should I be hungry for someone else's pain? Heroes should have something but talent for fame. Double-barrel in the mouth nails it everytime. But that's what legend's all about, Ain't no bigger headline! [Repeat Chorus] Maybe I should frequent all the places I'm avoiding, And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying. If this is making friends, I'd rather be lonely! [Guitar Interlude] So where's that leave a guy like me, Windy City Square? I may never make page three, but ask me if I care! [Repeat Chorus |

I whispered you
Words I thought I'd never say. We played the game, But then we tossed the rules away. Could deny it Justify it, But we both know that we went too far. Oh, I can feel you, And I need you, No matter wherever you are. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round. But baby I just can't lie to my heart. I have loved you Longer than you've even known. When you hurt, I hurt. I'm your flesh, and you're my bone. If I could only Be two people, Darlin' I swear we'd both be with you. Oh, I know I'm selfish, But I'm helpless. I want you, and nothing else will do. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round, Rippin' me right apart. I won't pretend anymore. Been hiding too long. I won't go on like before. I'm not that strong! Oh, I can feel it when I'm near you. It's not healthy to need you this way. Try to fight it, get inside it, But this pain is stronger than me, and it won't go away! I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round, Rippin' me right apart. I don't want to watch my love come crashing down, But I can't lie to my heart. I don't really want your memory hangin' 'round. Not anymore.. I can't lie anymore.. Baby, I can't. Baby, I can't. No, baby, I just can't lie to my heart. |

Lately I've been trying
To fill up my days since you're gone. The speed of love is blinding, And I didn't knowhow to hold on. My mind won't clear. I'm out of tears. My heart's got no room left inside. How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? How many times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? Will the arms of hope surround me? Will time be a fairweather friend? Should I call out to angels, Or just drink myself sober again? I can't hide, it's true. I still burn for you. Your memory just won't let me go. How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? Howmany times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? I'd hold you tighter, Closer than ever before. Yeah. No flame would burn brighter, If I could touch you once more, Hold you once more! [Guitar Interlude] How many dreams will end? How long can I pretend? How many times will love pass me by, Until I find you again? Until I find you again... |

Maybe you’ve noticed how I linger by the door
Looking for ways to hang around I never felt my moment would ever show itself before But I’ve got to speak or lose you now This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you He’ll never say the words I’ve rehearsed a million times Or stop your tears before they fall He’ll never even try to put his thoughts of you in rhymes His heart is barely there at all This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you I have always believed somehow I’d be standing right here before you now Hoping the last breath I take I take in your arms This is my confession I bare my soul to you This is my confession The one thing I can do How will I ever make you mine If you don’t know that I’m alive I confess to you My love for you |

Is it that we've been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white We're always trying to prove who's right or wrong, Yet now we're giving up without a fight But I know when you're gone, I'll wish I held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight I don't want our love to cause you so much pain If this is how it's going to be, I'll walk away Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye Let's forget about the past and who's to blame, 'Cause when this is all gone, We'll wish we'd held on So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight How could this love be in danger That used to be so good, so right? To think that fate could make us strangers Has thrown me in your arms tonight! So, baby, surrender to me There'll be no holding back now So, baby, surrender to me tonight So, baby, surrender . . . |

I was born on the banks of Eternity,
A page of the history it teaches. Not a care, lived my life like a hurricane, Leaving everything along the way in pieces. Some may have cheered, some may have wondered, If I am flesh, if I am stone. Thoughts of you tear through me like thunder. You are the light that has led me back home. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. A Southern boy has it harder sometimes. It's like you were climbing a razor. You were there when my dreams had all turned to dust, And the man in the mirror was a stranger. Look at me now, a soulless survivor. No mask can hide the man that I've made. You ease my pain. You make it silent. Slowly I feel it beginning to fade. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. I want to feel it, Rushing over me into the tide. I want to taste it, Every moment 'til the end of my life! I have laid still, adrift in your memory, Hoping your faith would erase all the years. Maybe some time, maybe some magic, Maybe your love will make everything clear. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. I've got no reputation living in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this disguise. Take me to the river, baby. Wash away the lies. There are no expectations hiding in your eyes. Take me to Eternity. Let me bury this . . . disguise. |

I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am A kid in a candy store The same as any dirty old man I know I’m not the first to see I guarantee I’m not the last So take some good advice from me Just try it once before you ask I hear an enticing voice (Live it up, live it up, do it now, boy) I don’t like the other choice (Live it up, live it up) What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with the fountain of youth What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion Who you think is foolin’ who And who will be the last to laugh Here’s another lame excuse You’re old enough to be her dad I’ve heard all the reasons why (Give it up, give it up, take a powder) I turn them my blindest eye (Give it up, give it up) What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with the fountain of youth What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a flower in bloom What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with a little self delusion Days don’t hide secrets of the heart Only you and I do Little white lies rip you right apart And any way they want to Life goes by, done before you start I can’t wait around to satisfy you Chorus out |
