I WANNA HIDE

 

 

One kept away, another left behind

Can't stay in or out of line

Time was when a guy and a girl could give anything a try

Now we gotta begin and end with lies

I wanna hide

 

I stand aside and watch you drift away

Convince myself I don't need you anyway

Used to be that a guy and a girl could look each other in the eyes

What to do when no one wants to try

I wanna hide

 

Another day and i might've tried

To believe what you said

But another day will never come, I bet

 

Don't you know that your promises

Can put an end to us when

Your every movement makes you promise again

 

I wanna hide

LIFELINE

 

 

Feel alright but i'm throwing away my lifeline

Can't understand why I'm losing track of my lifeline

 

Gotta look back if I'm ever gonna choose the right time

Gotta keep track if I'm gonna keep hold of my lifeline

Lifeline

 

I don't mind you asking how it feels to be afraid

I don't know when you tell me how it feels to be too late

 

Gotta move fast and we gotta give in to the right time

Can't understand why you're making me sever my lifeline

Lifeline

 

Try to see all the world has left to offer us today

I can try only when there's nothing more to lose or say

INTO THE WIND

 

 

Little one keeps turning back

One of us keeps turning back

As one of us goes, one of us walks into the wind

 

I can feel it pushing back

Feel the storm it pushes back

And so I must go, so I must walk into the wind

 

I can show why it's so, why I go

 

Wait for all will come to you

Wind I keep from reaching you

though you must know I could be running with the wind

 

I can go, why so slow, why so slow

 

Hope you hear what I say to you

Keep the storm clouds away from you

As one of us goes, one of us walks into the wind

TAKE YOUR TIME

 

 

Come here, I'm in trouble, feel like I'm out of line

I've tried and I've fallen, wish I could have my time

Wish that I could take your time

 

Had a chance, it was wasted, now I'm left behind

One look and you knew it, knew you had to steal my time

Now I wanna take your time

 

I've been hit hard but I'm not beaten, there's no place left ot hide

If I've lost, you'll never know it and I'll never let you take my time

Now I'm gonna take your time

 

There's gotta be a way to hold you

Without your fingers touching me

I don't forget and I'll never let you run me down

But you'll always be close to me

Only if I take your time

Only if I take your time

Only if I take your time

Now I'm gonna take your time

(EAST) NOW I KNOW (WEST)

 

 

Ever wonder if you leave a trail and can they track you down

Always something to uncover that you hoped could not be found

Someone's gonna show you things you thought you left behind

That one makes you see things better left in the back of your mind

 

And now I know

 

Winds blow but they seem to come from in front of you

Ever try to turn away before they take their breath from you

Some say don't worry 'cause the winds don't come

Take cover now I'm telling you before they make you run

 

And now I know

JUST A GIRL

 

 

They keep telling me that she's just a girl

But I don't care what they say

'Cause if she's just a girl than why can't I think

Of her in another way

 

Too bad only one of us is in love

Too bad I'm the only one in love

 

I know where and when but never how

To tell her what she could be to me

So a passing smile or a shy hello

Is as together as we'll ever be

 

Too bad only one of us is in love

Too bad I'm the only one in love

 

My friends all tell me that I'm wrong

They say she's just a girl I'll forget before long

 

I hope I can forget about her

Before I let her into my soul

'Cause I know she's just another girl

That I'll never get to know

 

Too bad only one of us is in love

Too bad I'm the only one in love

WILL YOU BE THERE TOMORROW

 

 

Leaves beginning to fall, and I'm watching it all

Does it mean that you're changing too and should I be watching you

 

If the bells don't ring if the birds don't sing

Will you be there tomorrow

If there comes a time when the sun don't shine

Will you be there tomorrow

 

I guess it's kinda strange, but I don't want nothing to change

Here and now is forever to me and your eyes are all that I see

 

If the sun don't shine will you still be mine

Will you be there tomorrow

When it's cold as ice will you love me twice

As much as this tomorrow

 

Try to go back to another time

Try to remember what made you mine

Never again will it all come to you

Never again will it all seem as true as we've been

 

When the ground is white will you be as bright

Am I wishing for tomorrow

When the trees are bare will you still care

As much as this tomorrow

 

You always knew what I saw in you

Never acting like people do

Don't ever let them get inside

Don't ever let them know that I am hiding with you

 

When the winds all blow and the grass won't grow

Will you be there tomorrow

If the world should end can a heart still mend

Am I wishing for tomorrow...

HOME

 

 

Hey bud can you spare a ride or a dollar

I'm down on my luck and I wanna go home

Been left here to fend for myself and I'm hurting

Please help me a little, I gotta go home

 

Home, home to my Dad and my Mom

I'm sure they'd be happy to see me again

Home, home and I'll leave this behind me

Please help me a little, I gotta go home

 

I had me a friend, she was all that I wanted

i guess you could say the reverse wasn't true

We danced our last dance and I told her I loved her

And now that she's gone I got one thing to do

 

Home, home I just wanna go home

Somewhere where my heart won't be broken again

Home, home and I'll stay there forever

Please help me a little, I got to go home

 

When two people meet, it can be so misleading

It's easy to think it'll last a long time

Be careful and never relax for a moment

Or you'll have a story that sounds just like mine

 

Home, home I just wanna go home

There's nothing I care about here anymore

Home, home and I'll stay there forever

Please help me a little, I gotta go home

I'LL BE WAITING

 

 

Times like this I wonder how I let you go

Wish I could believe that it's OK

Hope it's not too late to tell you things I should've said

Before we went our seperate ways

 

You got your reasons but I can't imagine why

The games you play were made to fool

If that's the way you had to play I can't object

But you might've told me there were rules

 

And if you should be gone for a short while

I will be waiting here for you

And if you should be gone for a long time

I'll still be waiting here for you

 

Don't know a thing about you

I don't want to live without you

I want to think you're coming back

So tired of writing letters

I just want to make it better

I just want to think you're coming back

 

And if you should be gone for a short while

I will be waiting here for you

And if you should be gone for a long time

I'll still be waiting here for you

 

Wonder how it'd be if you and I had never met

Would've been much easier for me

Can't be much safer than to be where I am now

I hope someday you'll come to see

 

And if you should be gone for a short while

I will be waiting here for you

And if you should be gone for a long time

I'll still be waiting here for you

And if you should be gone forever, I will see you someday...

ANYMORE

 

 

You move around but you never leave a trace

I move around without getting anyplace

I gotta wonder if it's worth it anymore

 

You must've known I was coming after you

There wasn't anything else that I could do

Now I wonder if it's worth it anymore

 

If I'm a waste of your time, just let me know

You gotta let me know why before I go

You gotta show me it won't happen

Anymore

 

I'm thinking straight but there are circles all around

I'd get inside but I know they'd bring me down

I'm making sure that they won't find me anymore

 

If you want me to try, just let me know

Got a right to know why before I go

Gotta show me it won't happen

Anymore

PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE

 

 

Hard to remember times I spent with you

Funny what you memories allow

I wish I could spend my life just holding you

Doesn't seem so possible right now

 

Please don't tell anyone you know

Please don't tell anyone I know

Please don't tell anyone that I want only you

 

I'm staying in touch as long as there's a chance

That you'll wanna be with me someday

But if it's as over as you say it is

I gotta hope someone will come my way

 

Please don't tell anyone you know

Please don't tell anyone I know

Please don't tell anyone I'm still in love with you

 

People always say there's someone just for you

And I think that's true

But now I'm so afraid that what was right for me

Wasn't meant to be

 

Just don't tell anyone you know

Please don't tell anyone I know

Please don't tell anyone that I want only you

 

Everyone thinks that I gave up on you

I let them believe that story's real

If I'm gonna find another one like you

No one can know the way I feel

 

So please don't tell anyone you know

Please don't tell anyone I know

Please don't tell anyone I'm still in love with you
