came here to this town
when you were very small
and now you feel old
you're not quite as sold
on the lights and all

you walk through
people look at you
but you don't wonder why
anymore

used to be
you held your head up
'cause you knew what you were for
break down any door
if you have to

now you're here in this town
and it seems very small
but you don't wonder why
anymore

don'tcha have a dream, baby?
i can't believe that you've got nowhere to go.
is this the way that the world ends for you?
hard drivin 'til it's time to make another show

the dull stare of too many nights leading to
the cold white light of day
and i know it doesn't mean one hell of a lot
it's just another night thrown away, babe

were you always a problem child?
well it really doesn't matter now
'cause you are on your own

3 o'clock in the morning
you need someone to take you home

far be it for me to talk to ya
'bout life or a better way
'cause i know it doesn't mean one hell of a lot
it's just another night thrown away, babe

take a good long look around
can you see yourself in the mirror?
there's nothing left this way baby but one sad end
tell me
is this what you want?

that's right
i'm talking to you
you wanta be a bad mother
and turn a cold shoulder
one day it's gonna come around.

and though we spend most of our time far apart,
you should know you are, always, in my heart...
and if i could i would be with you all the time.
i hope you're getting through okay, but
i wanna be there for you, any way you want me to be.
now i don't want to make you into someone else.
aww, but i do want to give you, from my self,
the most i can to help your life become worthwhile
and if i can, i'll make you smile, but
i wanna be there for you, any way you want me to be.
it's a big world, baby - sometimes it can feel crazy.
blue skies turn gray sometimes when you don't know where to turn.
if you look inside, you'll know you're never alone
'cause i am there for you, any way you want me to be, sky.

she's miss directed
she's got pretty pictures of
what the world's supposed to be
she's disconnected
she sings those pretty songs of love

she's miss directed
she's got pretty pictures of
what the world's supposed to be
but she's disconnected
she sings those pretty love songs
but she doesn't know what they mean

and she's got nobody home
and she's somebody
don't need nobody
and she don't see how
she been torn apart
but she's waiting in the dark
hoping for someone to
open up her heart

she's dedicated
to walking proud and talking so tough
makes it easy not to look inside
she turns the music up
but it's not enough
'cause it's never enough
to warm her frozen heart

she's got nobody home
but she's nobody
who needs somebody
and she don't see how
she been torn apart
but she's lying in the dark
waiting for someone to
open up her heart

give me some heart
give me some soul
that's all that i was asking
but you left me standing
in the cold

take away your silence
take away your mystery
you can take away your damned indifference
there's nothing there that i need
i need

something that i can believe
someone who won't
deceive me into thinking that
all hope of love is gone

give me love
give me light
give me music
give me truth and
give me heaven
give me something to believe
in

don't want no dirty money
and don't give me funny faces
when i tell you that i'm not amused
by the way you have betrayed

that's ok
i suppose that i played along
but i should have known better
and now i know better
and i'm not playing anymore

something that i can believe
someone who won't
deceive me into thinking that
all hope of love is gone

give me love
give me light
give me music
give me truth and
give me heaven
give me something to believe
in

i need connection, not redemption
want to feel it in my soul - i need it
don't want nobody else to try and take control
don't want it
don't need somebody else to save me
or be saved - don't need it
don't wanna be somebody's master or a slave

if i'm alone
then turn out the light
when you close the door...

or give me the light.

here it comes...
is it surreal?
crossing that bridge
how did you feel about it?
your walking alone
your walking away
our talking before...
wasn't there something else
you had to say?
you're walking away.
here it comes...
so surreal.
crossing this bridge
how could i feel about it?
and what do i say?
you walked alone...
and you walked away.
(i'm not alone.)

you talkin to me? if you grab in the right place you might land...
i'll polish your stone if you do the right thing and you take command
you buried all my love in some other land and i'll thank you now
for taking me down
i'm looking at you - got something to say? then you bring it cold
you call out my name when i've taken control
i'm waiting for you now get back out here for your soul.
and you'll thank me now for
taking you down

you drank the wine and took it out of my hands
who are you? gimme that

i'm looking at you got something to say? then you bring it cold
i'll call out your name when you've taken control
i'm waiting for you... so get back in here with your soul

and you'll thank me now for taking you
thank me now for taking you
thank me now for taking you down

i saw you last night for the first in a long time,
looking different than you had before.
the last thing i expected was to see you...
standing outside my front door.
face to face...we were cheek to cheek...
we were walking and holding hands...
we were talking, we were laughing and
the kisses turned so sweet that it nearly broke my soul.

angelina - where'd you go?
then i turned my head and you were gone.
my angelina - where'd you go?
'cause i woke up and i'm all alone, and now...
it's two in the morning and i'm trying to be cool,
but i can't keep you out of my head.
i turned back over, and i closed up my eyes,
and i'm trying to get back to you again,
but it's 4 in the morning - i don't wanna be cool,
'cause your sweet kisses got me out of my head.
you don't help it when you smile that way
it's 5 in the morning and i'm trying to be cool.
i'm not given to be easily broken
you, sweet lady, snapped me in two.

angelina - where'd you go?
you were in my arms and now you're gone,
my angelina - my heart broken, 'cause
i woke up and i'm all alone, my baby.
it's five in the morning and i'm trying to be cool
you don't help it when you smile that way.
you're not helping - you're not helping,
but please, baby, smile for me,
my angelina...where'd you go?
felt so real - where'd you go?
wait a minute...wait a minute
my angelina. i can't help it...
i can't help it, baby. angelina...
i can't make it back to you, sweet lady
you don't help it when you smile that way
it's 5 in the morning and i'm trying to be cool
out of my head.
i'm not given to be easily broken,
please baby baby baby baby...
it felt so real...it felt so real...
angelina,
it felt so real...

I was seven
when I picked it up and it made a sound
something up against my chest
to wrap my heart around

laying in my bedroom and
searching out the notes
to the music
sweet music
that was coming out of my radio

I could
hold it
pick it
strum it
stroke it
feel it
lovin
my guitar

I was thirteen
I was feeling kinda low
'til I saw that red electric in the window

give
me
six strings
and a pick
and I'm happy
any way the wind blows...

we can sing
we can cry
we can wail
we can fly
rockin through the sky
me and my guitar

This is my guitar
There are many like it
but this one here is mine
so fine

it sings like the sweetest bird
but it can wail like a tornado
my guitar

time for a little rock and roll

me and my guitar

all too fast...you'll embrace what feels good for a time...
and all too fast, you will laugh at what you don't understand.
strange joke it is, satisfaction at the cost of your own pride,
but you're still dancing. still dancing...
while you burn.
and all too fast, you'll condemn what doesn't suit you.
and all too fast, you'll be the one to point the finger
but you'll cry when it's pointed at you.
cruel joke it is, satisfaction,at the cost of another pride
but you're still dancing. still dancing...
while they burn.
waves rolling over the sea,
calling to you... and calling me
calling us home.
saying there's enough for everyone
everyone.
he's a beautiful boy...
she's a beautiful girl.
they should be living in a beautiful world
in a beautiful world
all too fast, you will answer, without question...
and all too fast, leave the future in some other hands - again.
and all too fast, they will lead where you will follow.
and all too fast, they smile and they wave,
and you find yourself smiling too.
cruel joke it is, satisfaction, at the cost of another life,
but they're still dancing... still dancing..
and you're still dancing...
while.....
this, your only time...
