You want my love
Tell me what have you to give?
What can be done
When I’ve my own life to live?
All that you want
Is very hard to come by
No one knows more than I

(Chorus)
Who’s got the time and the place
And the shoulder to cry on?
For all the trouble we face
Just someone to rely on
Show me the love of a friend
And a dream to get high on
And I’ll send them your way

Only if I could
It’s not that my heart does not bleed
But where shall I look
To find all these things that you need?
If you were but one
That somehow had come to me first
I could not quench your thirst

(Repeat Chorus)

Bring to me all that you’ve lost
And looked forward to
All that you’ve found
To be just out of reach

And I’ll send them your way



 


How do I feel after all’s said and done?
Try and I try but the tears will not come
What do I do to keep love on the run?
And why can’t I march to the beat of your drum?

Maybe I’m lost maybe I’ve learned
Once shy twice burned
So I keep my head up, up in the clouds
Where only a child can find me now

How can I be neither shocked nor stunned?
I try not to ask too much of someone

Maybe I’m lost, maybe I’ve learned
Once shy twice burned
So I keep my head up, up in the clouds
Where only a child can find me now

How do I feel after all’s said and done?
Try and I try but the tears will not come



 


What’s the matter with the way we look?
Surely it’s not the end
I’ve only meant to make my motions clear
You worry too much if it’s understood
Should we be seen as friends?
Seems like a real good beginning right here

‘Cause when your heart is weak
I’m gonna pick the lock on it
My fingertips won’t fail me
No matter what you do

The love you cannot see yet
Is about to witness a dawning
And you can twist and turn
But you won’t get loose

Better forget getting rid of me
I don’t see how you can
You put me off and I will hunt you down…again
I’m mighty patient when I have to be
You have given me that
Still I look forward to the day you let me in

(Repeat Chorus)

I’m gonna prove myself worthy
No more just hanging on
Without a prayer of a chance
I’m gonna come without warning
When your defenses are down and you’re in a desperate need
Oh I bet you then, you’ll welcome me…
Your ol’ companion

(Repeat Chorus)



 


I want to lay down, but I got no home
Is there a better place?
Cast into the open, with nowhere else to go
I feel right now that I could rest my bones
Or should I stay awake?
Tired of going in circles, trying to stay alive

Because it keeps on working
Don’t make it right

I’ll try anything, that could somehow free me from
The ball and chain
If I can hold out, for I’ve nowhere else to run
Or person to blame
I may be weary
But I’m on my feet again

I had a love that I could call my own
But I had no choice
Who’s afraid of nothing, must be clinging to the vine

Because it keeps on working
Don’t make it right

I raise my head high, and make a toast to the fallen saints
Bless their souls
It’s been a long ride, we’ve all endured some aches and pains
Heaven knows
Could have been easier
But misery loves me so

Cast into the open with nowhere else to go
Tired of going in circles, trying to stay alive

Because it keeps on working
Don’t make it right

Lots of understanding, no one gets enough
Who’s afraid of nothing, must be clinging to the vine

Because it keeps on working
Don’t make it right



 


I’d give it up and start all over if I could
Chasing back the hands of time
Praise my intuition, knock on wood,
You could never change my mind.

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can’t really say for sure.
I’m liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.

Count my blessings put my heart upon a shelf
Once is more than enough
Who would have thought that I only hurt myself
I can only take so much.

Please don’t make me out an angel
‘Cause I feel so out of place,
I just haven’t got the patience
Like a hundred other hard luck cases
Looking for a handout
Or just one more kiss goodbye.

For the best years of life with you
For all that’s at stake
For the reasons I thought I knew
For experience sake

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can’t really say for sure.
I’m liable to be curious
Till the day I die.

For the best years of life with you
For all our mistakes
For the sweet love I hold on to
For experience sake.



 


Lover, there is no other


 


I’d settle for a strand of hair
Lying on a pillow case.
Just one, to understand
Why I can’t sleep.
If I could find a cigarette
Burning in an ashtray
That would be enough
Proof for me,
That would be enough.

Hunting down a killer
I’m working out the truth.
Hunting down a killer
But I haven’t got a clue.
I haven’t got a clue.

If I could catch your silhouette
Moving behind closed blinds
I’m sure I’d find another
Moving jointly.
I would take an honest man
That fumbles for an alibi
If I believed he just might be,
If I believed…

(Chorus)

I will find those illusive hands
That tear at the insides
Of some pitiful man.
Oh, so handsome
So much that it hurts,
With hands that seize and illegally search.

(Chorus)



 


No such thing, I’m sure you’ve mistaken me.
If I’m your man, then give a last embrace.
Wish me well or help me solve this mystery,
I’ve taken my fill and packed it all into one suitcase.
Any other life,
Any other way.

Don’t you worry about me
Or try to change how things are.
You’ve got to believe
That we’re just worlds apart.

Can’t talk now, and silence is too much to bear.
No great loss, but everything to gain.
Here’s your home, I can lay down anywhere.
As time goes on, it seems like a fair exchange.
Any other life.
Any other way.

Don’t you worry about me
It’s all gone much too far
You’ve got to believe
That we’re just worlds apart.



 


I don’t want to save the world


 


Not without reason have I been wrong
Just a few tough demands
On a personal friend I could lean on
Desperate and selfish, I know that I was
We drank all our fill
But I’d swear there was poison in my cup
Of your good intentions what has become?

I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight?
You said it would he even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage?
Down the center line, what’s yours is yours and mine
Just like always

Hurting for freedom, hell-bent for lust
It’s an unlikely thing that I’d be bumping in
To someone I could trust
I’m far from resigning, though I’m faint from exhaust
Just because I’m on edge
Do I have to let somebody come push me off?
Is it the belonging, or something you’ve lost?

(Repeat Chorus)



 


If I laid down my love
To come to your defense
Would you worry for me
With a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along?

You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made?
Remember the promise you made?

If I gave you my soul
For a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you
To the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two

Please tell me

(Repeat Chorus)

Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along?

Please tell me

(Repeat Chorus)



 


As I have only my convictions I’ve made some mistakes
Trial and error is not an answer or even a break
So I cling to the only treasure I’ve pleasured to know
I can’t believe that these precious things are ever worth letting go

In my time I’ve been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It’s a pain and a plea to possess this desire which comes over me
So I fight while holding on for dear life
I’m holding on for dear life

Empty daybreaks have been replacing my generous nights
I lose sight of things we’ve created and have put them aside
To go forward with just one motion is all I can do
I doubt very much though I could forget if I wanted to

In my time I’ve been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It’s a pain and a plea to possess this desire which comes over me
So I cry while holding on for dear life
I’m holding on for dear life

So I cling to the only treasure I’ve pleasured to know
I can’t believe that these precious things are ever worth letting go

In my time I’ve been blessed
With a powerful love very few ever get
It’s a pain and a plea to possess this desire which comes over me
So I try while holding on for dear life
I’m holding on for dear life
