|
Give me one good reason
|
Tell me how you feel.
|
Well, is it just a teaser
|
Or is it all too real?
|
You slip and I start thinkin'
|
Not a lot to say.
|
Well, show me something different
|
New along the way.
|
Just spinning me in circles
|
Never get the fix I need.
|
Down and around in circles
|
It's always you and never me
|
First you tell me one thing
|
Then you tell me two.
|
If someone here is crazy
|
I place the bet on you.
|
Just spinning me in circles
|
Never get the fix I need.
|
Down and around in circles
|
It's always you and never me
|
Why do you refuse (refuse)
|
To play it by the rules?
|
All the time you know (you know)
|
It really drives me wild.
|
You slip and I start thinkin'
|
Not a lot to say.
|
Well, show me something different;
|
New along the way.
|
Just spinning me in circles
|
Never get the fix I need.
|
Down and around in circles
|
It's always you and never me..no, no
|
Why do you refuse (you choose)
|
To play it by the rules?
|
All the time you know (you know)
|
It really drives me wild.
|
Give me one good reason;
|
Tell me how you feel.
|
Well, is it just a teaser
|
Or is it all too real?
|
Just spinning me in circles
|
Never get the fix I need.
|
Down and around in circles
|
It's always you and never me...yeah, yeah
|
And a little bit crazy
|
And you can never see.
|
And a little bit crazy
|
And a little bit crazy
|
And you can never see.
|
And a little bit crazy
|
And you can never see.
|
And would you get crazy
|
Only you...don't _____ me
|
And a little bit crazy
|
You can never see.
|
Always you...can't be beat...yeah
|
And would you get crazy
|
Only you...don't _____ me
|
And a little bit crazy
|
You can never see
|
But you could never see...
|
|
Wanderin' aimless...blinded
|
Starcrossed, love lost, find me
|
Wheel aligning, back to uptime
|
Empty eyes - the endless skyline
|
Countless images calling
|
Staring, starving...hungry
|
Travel roads that hold no answers
|
Back to square one...out of guesses
|
I know the feeling
|
I feel like you do
|
I've been where you've been too
|
Used up, burned out, wanting
|
Countless memories haunting me
|
Wheel aligning, back to uptime
|
Empty eyes - the endless skyline
|
I know the feeling
|
I feel like you do (I feel like you)
|
I've been where you've been too...yeah
|
I know the feeling (I feel like you)
|
I feel like you do (I feel like you)
|
I've been where you've been too
|
Wanderin' aimless...blinded
|
Starcrossed, love lost, find me
|
Wheel aligning, back to uptime
|
Empty eyes - the endless skyline
|
I know the feeling
|
I feel like you do (I feel like you)
|
I've been where you've been too...yeah
|
I know the feeling (I feel like you)
|
I feel like you do (I feel like you do)
|
I've been where you've been too
|
I know the feeling (I feel like you)
|
I feel like you do (I feel like you)
|
I've been where you've been too
|
I know the feeling (I feel like you)
|
I feel like you do....
|
|
Rain keeps pounding without a break
|
And beating with a heart awake
|
Even now
|
I can't imagine what you're doing when you're not around
|
A shady thought to ask now
|
I need you now
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
Eveything is turning me upside down
|
(For so long)
|
You gotta see that
|
Confusion's spinning me around
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
The feeling is that eveything is lost, you see.
|
When you're gone.
|
Shadows reaching long across the floor
|
Wishing you were at the door
|
You know it's insanity
|
You always keep leaving me
|
Walking around one room to the next
|
Remembering the very best
|
It's starting to get to me
|
You always keep leaving me.
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
Eveything is turning me upside down
|
(For so long)
|
You gotta see that
|
Confusion's spinning me around
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
The feeling is that eveything is lost, you see.
|
When you're gone.
|
And 'cause it's so strong
|
It's that much harder
|
I'm feeling so alone
|
Well, I need to hold you
|
And feel the magic
|
You've been away so long..yeah, yeah
|
Well if it isn't enough
|
How can I make it more?
|
Thought we'd been through this all before
|
Here we go - one more time
|
And rain keeps pounding without a break
|
And beating with a heart awake
|
I need you now
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
Eveything is turning me upside down
|
(For so long)
|
You gotta see that
|
Confusion's spinning me around
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
The feeling is that eveything is lost, you see.
|
When you're gone.
|
So long....
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
Everything is turning me upside down
|
(For so long)
|
You gotta see that
|
Confusion's spinning me around
|
(When you're gone)
|
You gotta know that
|
The feeling is that eveything is lost, you see.
|
When you're gone.
|
|
What am I to do about this?
|
Who am I to you?
|
There's a splice somewhere in all this
|
You can find a way, you know it
|
Not so hard to do.
|
All you got to do is show it
|
It's only got to do with you
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels for years
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there from here
|
Doesn't seem so well connected
|
Threads are almost bare
|
Something's new; just not expected
|
Tell me is it really there?
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels for years
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there from here
|
Why should this be so hard? So close...
|
Why are you afraid?
|
Just tell me where we are.
|
I would try another way.
|
How can I get to you?
|
Where do I begin?
|
I try, but I can't get through
|
You won't let me in!
|
Spinning our wheels
|
How does it feel?
|
Caught in the wheels for years
|
Doesn't seem so well connected
|
Threads are almost bare
|
Something's new; just not expected
|
What am I to do about this?
|
Who am I to you?
|
There's a splice somewhere in all this
|
It's only got to do with you.
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels for years (spinning)
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there from here (yeah)
|
Spinning our wheels
|
How does it feel?
|
Caught in the wheels for years (spinning...wheels)
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there from here (yeah)
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels
|
Spinning our wheels for years (spinning...wheels)
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there
|
You can't get there from here
|
|
Well you sure look good tonight
|
I think I've come to see sunlight
|
Come on, hold on to me
|
Belong to me.
|
You know that love looks good on you
|
In what you say and what you do
|
Come on, hold on to me
|
It's all I need
|
I gotta do the _____ in time __________
|
Not a thing to show for all the times I've tried
|
Now we just can't seem to wipe the smile away
|
And you gave it to me
|
Give it up - I'm feeling something beautiful
|
Look at this - we're starting to be suitable to me
|
Every day I find what you got into us
|
Can't seem to get enough of you.
|
When you're away, I dream that you...
|
Come on and hold on to me
|
Belong to me.
|
And so it never really ends
|
You mend the hurts that never mend
|
Come on, hold on to me
|
It's all I need.
|
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...
|
Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see
|
Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you
|
And what did I do before?
|
Can't believe that this is really happening
|
All the hurtful days are finally vanishing
|
Making all the fantasies realities
|
We could be in for some surprises
|
I know it - you know it too.
|
Before you think of compromises
|
Just realize it's only here for you.
|
Yeah, you sure look good tonight
|
I think I've finally seen sunlight
|
Come on, hold on to me
|
It's all I need.
|
And so it never really ends
|
You mend the hurts that never mend
|
Come on and hold on to me
|
Belong to me.
|
Gotta make for bringing out the best to me
|
When the love is is right, it's possible to see you so clearly
|
All my life I wondered would it come to me
|
(come to me)
|
Then you brought it to me
|
Can't believe that this is really happening
|
All the hurtful days are finally vanishing
|
Making all your fantasies realities
|
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...
|
Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see
|
Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you
|
And what did I do before?
|
|
Just walking through the city
|
Some need to sort things out.
|
I don't need to know the pity
|
I'm feeling for us now.
|
We walked right back together
|
Back when I hardly knew
|
Why do the strangest things
|
Bring back those times with you?
|
Just when we're getting closer
|
I'm seeing something new.
|
Just soaking up the city
|
Drifting the days away
|
Searching through crowds of people
|
The face that got away
|
We've had good times together
|
Put all my dreams on you
|
You let me down somehow
|
And now I see where to
|
Turns out my best just
|
Wasn't good enough for you.
|
You couldn't recognize a loss in the world
|
I want to lose yourself
|
You couldn't feel at all.
|
Everything just ends up so sad
|
Too bad...
|
I gave it what I had.
|
Just walking through the city
|
Drifting the days away...yeah
|
Searching through crowds of people
|
The lace that got away.
|
You're telling me it's nothing
|
When I don't watch, you stare
|
How could I get to you
|
When you were never there?
|
We walked right back together
|
Back when I hardly knew
|
Why do the strangest things
|
Bring back those times with you?
|
Just when we're getting closer
|
I'm seeing something new.
|
You couldn't recognize a loss in the world
|
So sad...
|
|
She'll get you mystified
|
You're going for a ride
|
You can let it drop.
|
Well, you can take the hit
|
Or you can miss the ship
|
Or you could take the top
|
That's the way I want
|
I gotta see you anyway...yeah
|
Well, you can jump the fence
|
Or you can have some sense
|
Or you can all the cop.
|
Or you can close the book
|
Or you can just unhook
|
And all I know is...
|
You can have some if you want to
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
Or I could show you if you want to
|
But all I know is...
|
That's the way I want
|
To shake you; take you down
|
All the way...yeah
|
That's the way...all the way
|
Well, you can take what you want to
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
You can do what you like
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
Just something else to get through
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
But you got to want to win
|
I'll come around again away
|
Well, you can take what you want to
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
You can do what you like
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
Just something else to get through
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
But you got to want to win
|
I'll come around again away
|
You can take the piece
|
You can shake the squeeze
|
You can let it drop.
|
Well, you can take the pass
|
You can break the glass
|
But all I know is...
|
That's the way I want
|
To shake you; take you down
|
All the way...yeah
|
Well you can ____ back
|
You can counteract
|
You can shut it down
|
Well you can take the hint
|
Or you can transmit (transmit)
|
And all I know is...
|
You can have some if you want to
|
(Don't close your eyes)
|
I can show you if you want to.
|
But all I know is...
|
That's the way I want
|
To shake you; take you down...yeah
|
That's the way...all the way
|
Well, I gotta shake you; take you down
|
That's the way...all the way
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I want to
|
All the way...shake you; take you down
|
I wanna...
|
|
So many times disappointed
|
Thrown about with the doubt
|
You could never see
|
And out of nowhere it sounded
|
Something is happening.
|
Someone who happened to hear you
|
Listened in silence and knew how
|
To understand.
|
One step ahead of a feeling
|
Touching with loving hands.
|
Now I know that things are gonna be all right
|
This time around.
|
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights
|
No need to keep second guessing
|
Racing in circles and trying to figure out
|
Answers to all of the questions
|
You had them all along
|
You had them all along
|
Yes, I know that things are gonna be all right
|
This time around.
|
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights
|
Take away all of your doubts
|
'Cause there's something for you
|
That comes from a different place
|
In a different way.
|
Straight ahead...you and me every day
|
You just got to be you...just believe
|
You know what love can give you what you need
|
Now I know that things are gonna be all right
|
This time around.
|
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights
|
Warm and gentle summer nights
|
So many times disappointed
|
Thrown about with the doubt
|
You could never see
|
Then out of nowhere it sounded
|
Straight to the heart of me.
|
Now I know that things are gonna be all right
|
This time around.
|
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights
|
Yes, I know that things are gonna be all right
|
This time around.
|
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights
|
Warm and gentle summer nights
|
This time...it's gonna be all right
|
This time...
|
This time...I know it's gonna be all right
|
This time...
|
This time...it's gonna be all right
|
This time...
|
This time I know it's gonna be all right
|
This time...this time...
