They said the world was a different place
Through the eyes of another face
They said the change would be slow in coming around
They said the sky would be burning bright
And all the angels would begin to fight
Over the reason why there's no seasons
And there'll be no day and night
... But I knew that
I heard the words you were telling me
I heard your lies, your stupidity
But all these things you say to me
You just don't understand
... You see I knew that
And if you look maybe you might find
The words came from another mind
And if you think that you've got it right
Well maybe you should stand and fight
They tried to talk but it was no good
They said you'd leave and I knew you would
I knew that time and I knew the place
But through the eyes of another face
I saw the words that were in your head
I heard the thoughts that remained unsaid
I tried to talk but it's much to late
'Cause I seem mixed up and I can't relate
... But I knew that!
What do you say when love is gone
... I said I knew that
Waste my time
Waiting for the call
To take me somewhere
I can't find
And you stay sometimes
But never long enough
Am I asking too much
For your nights?
'Cause every time you go
I feel I'm losing something
Every time you leave
It hurts my mind
The fading light
Takes you from my arms
And finds you somewhere
Outside again
So I lose myself
In someone else's charms
I can't hold them to my heart
And take you back again
'Cause every time you go
I feel I'm losing something
Every time you leave
It hurts my mind
Is that what you what... ?
Every time I look at you
I think of all the things we could do
And all the happiness you could use
Fancy cars and limousines
Take you every where to be seen
But do you really need these things to get by
'Cause you're looking kind of sad about it
Tell me, what you need?
Anything that you want done baby
Anything at all
Any time you need me
I'll return your call, yes I will
Turn you around
If love is all that you're searching for
You know I've got so much more,
That you will ever need
'Cause I'm looking kind of sad about
Tell me, what you need?
Anything that you want done baby
Anything at all
Any time you need me
I'll return your call, yes I will
Turn you around
Out of my head, out on my own
Sometimes I understand this life
we've been shown through
And around this time, we began to drift
I used to feel weightless, now I'm pretty hard to lift
You say, what you wanna say
In my arms I know you're home
If you go, where you gonna go?
And leave me on my own... to drift alone
And somewhere along the thin white line
I'm spending my days and nights
waiting for you to show
You say what you wanna say...
You said maybe I should go
And I spin into a haze,
waiting for you to show
And around this time, we began to drift
I used to feel weightless
now I'm pretty hard to lift
You say
In my hand, you might see
Something special that she gave to me
And in my head you might find
Something special that she left behind
And you will see
Your eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
That after all this time...
I almost made you smile
Though my life, I have seen
This love come and go
There's no in between
And in my dreams
I have seen something
Altogether more serene
And you will see
You're eyes light up again like mine
And you will see
The fever run through life
And you will see
The sky turn blue with all your light
And you will see
That after all this time...
I almost made you smile
Could you feel like this again
...show me something?
I almost made you smile...
I feel the storm, but it's so strange
To feel desire, without the pain
And I feel your eyes, search my soul
For something sacred, for something more than you need
Your words are lost, there's no aim
It's pure emotion, that holds this flame
And the rain will fall, and touch your heart
It's pure devotion, alone in the dark
So tell me what you feel
Tell me every little thing
Tell me all that you are now
And tell me what it's like to see
From your own heart
Now I've got you
...Alone in the dark
The shadows fall, all around
There's no-one to harm you here, nowhere to be found
And it seems like we've been lost, in the world of our
Own thoughts
There's no-one I'd rather be with now, until the end
So tell me what you feel
Tell me every little thing
Tell me all that you are now
And tell me what it's like to see
From your own heart
Now I've got you
...Alone in the dark
I watch your eyes across the room
And I see how much they've changed
From what I knew
Things seem so different now
In your life
But I never wanted more that you could find
And now the sun won't shine into your room
And the love you thought you felt
Was never true
Things seem so different now
In my life
And you know I felt the emptiness of time
It took me so long...to find myself...
Someone to talk to
You say the world is wide
And your thoughts are deep
And the wind will carry
Everything you keep
Things seem so simple now
In my life
Now I've found someone
Who makes it all seem right
And it took me so long...
To find myself... Someone to talk to
I feel like I've been lost somewhere
And I find out why I'm here again
And time stretches across my mind
Spins all the way around
And now I find myself alone,
My head without a home,
I turn myself to you,
But what else could I do
And where will you be
When all this is coming down?
With time to kill
Where will you be
When all this is coming down?
You're a very necessary evil
You lit a fire with the sweetest kiss
I saw the flame and I held my hand to it
And I know that if I ever miss you'll
Burn me to the ground
And now I'm lost within myself
I'm losing self respect
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do
And where will you be...
You've changed me now
I search for something new
And I hurt myself but I can't see it through
Now I find myself alone
My head without a home
I turn myself to you
But what else could I do
And where will you be...
You took me up, took me higher baby
As far as you can go
You lit the flame of my desire
And everyone should know
The sunny streets of my hometown
Where we began to play
And the feelings deep inside my heart
Will never fade away
See I try, try, try, but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out
Take a train ride to the mountainside
And let it all fade away
And the happiness that you gave me honey
I will always save
You see the cool breeze of love just blew and then it went away
You see I try, try, try, but that's no good for you
If you really feel you need to work it out
Well hey
Take a train ride up through the mountainside
And let it all fade away
As far as you can go
I see you're angry with the things you did
And I know you will be lost until
You find a reason that can make you see my wish
And now I'm watching as you swing your dress
And your friends may cool your own distress
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss
'Cause I don't want to be like this...for too long
And the words are racing through my head
But they need to come from you instead
So close your eyes and think of all the things you miss
The days are growing colder now
And I'm lost when you don't come around
But you could change it all with
Just one kiss, one kiss
It feels like my thoughts
Could run into your mind
And say the things that I can't say
And all of this time
I'm thinking to myself
The only thing I see is you
My life runs through
Your heart will be a place for me
Night speeds so fast
It's easy now
I cut myself on these thoughts of you
And I hear your voice
I'm running now into your world
That takes me near the edge of real
My mind to steal each night with you
Make everything seem new
And it feels like I'm
Spending all my time
Chasing dreams I wish so would come true
If you hold the knife
I would take my life
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
Until the light shines through
Nothing changes now my heart stands still
You could part my will to live
