Somebody Like You

There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known. I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done. And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays. I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made. Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine, Shinin' down on me and you. When you put your arms around me, You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do. I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast. I'd take, uh, one step forward end up two steps back. Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm. I wanna love somebody, Love somebody like you. Whoa here we go now! Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine, Shinin' down on me and you. When you put your arms around me, Well, baby there ain't nothing in this wo...

You Give Me Something

You only stay with me in the morning You only hold me when I sleep I was meant to tread the water But now I've gotten in too deep. For every piece of me that wants you Another piece backs away. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Please give me something Because someday I might know my heart. You only waited up for hours Just to spend a little time alone with me And I can say I've never bought you flowers I can't work out what they mean. I never thought that I'd love someone That was someone else's dream. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Please give me something Because someday I might call you from my heart. But it might be a second too late And the words that I could never say Are gonna come out anyway. You give me something That makes me scared alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Plea...

Running On Empty

Image
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on Running on, running on empty Running on, running blind Running on, running into the sun But I'm running behind Everyone I know, everywhere I go People need some reason to believe I don't know about anyone but me If it takes all night, that'll be all right If I can get you to smile before I leave Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels I don't know how to tell you all ju...

Bad Things

When you came in the air went out. And every shadow filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are, But before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you. I'm the kind to sit up in his room. Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue. I don't know what you've done to me, But I know this much is true: I wanna do bad things with you. When you came in the air went out. And all those shadows there filled up with doubt. I don't know who you think you are, But before the night is through, I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you. Ow, ooh. I don't know what you've done to me, But I know this much is true: I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you.

Shelter From The Storm

Image
I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". And if I pass this way again you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the sto...

Resistance

Use our secret safe tonight and are we out of sight Will our world come tumbling down Will they find our hiding place Is this our last embrace Ohh will the world stop caving in It could be wrong Could be wrong But it should've been right It could be wrong Could be wrong But let our hearts ignite It could be wrong Could be wrong Are we digging a whole It could be wrong Could be wrong This is out of control It could be wrong Could be wrong It can never last It could be wrong Could be wrong Must erase it fast It could be wrong Could be wrong But it could've been right Love is our resistance Keep us a promise they wont stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be schooled If we live our life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again Kill the press for love in peace You'll wake the far police We can hide the truth inside It could be wrong Could be wrong But it should've been right It could be wrong...

Breakfast At Tiffany's

You say that we've got nothing in common No common ground to start from And we're falling apart You'll say the world has come between us Our lives have come between us But I know you just don't care CHORUS: And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." I see you - the only one who knew me And now your eyes see through me I guess I was wrong So what now? It's plain to see we're over, And I hate when things are over - When so much is left undone CHORUS: And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's? She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got." You say that we've got nothing in common No common ground to start from And we're falling apart You'...
