I've got a car
I've got a big black shiny car
Maybe tonight we could go for a ride
Out on the road
Out on the wide wide open road
Baby lets see what we can find
Alright

[Chorus]
Lets drive
Anywhere you wanna go I will take you there babe take you there baby
Yeah lets drive
Anywhere your dreams go I will take you there take you there baby
Lets drive

I got a ride
I've got a smooth slick shiny ride
Let's open her up and lets get away
Back out by the shore
Top down, seats back
Lights shining low
Tonight's the night we go all the way
All the way

[Chorus]

Everything that you wanna find
Is waiting for you here inside
Lets drive

I've got a car
I've got a big black shiny car
Maybe tonight we can go for a ride

[Chorus]

If I'd have known what you would say
I'd have turned and walked away
Can't hold the tears back though I try
Cos there's nothing quite as sad as goodbye

Don't want to think about tomorrow
You won be here by my side
All of a sudden I feel hollow
There's nothing quite as sad as goodbye

[Chorus]
So I'm alone again
Tryin' to find a ticket to the next train, to the next train
I'm on my own again, waiting in line
For a new, new beginning
New beginning

I know that we are better off
Still I feel that I've lost
When I look into your eyes
There's nothing quite as sad as goodbye

[Chorus]

Back where I once started, try my luck again
Now I've got my heart set on a better day, yeah
Who's to say what's waiting just around the bend
Can't do more then hope and pray for a happy end

[Chorus]

Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground
He gets to his feet and he says

[CHORUS:]
What about me, it isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see I wanna live
But you just take more than you give

Well there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there, waiting for her dreams
Her dreams walk in and out they never stop
Well she's not too proud to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams

[CHORUS]

So take a step back and see the little people
They may be young but they're the ones
That make the big people big
So listen, as they whisper
What about me

And now I'm standing on the corner all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got

[CHORUS]

You struck a match inside
The frozen heart of mine
And set my soul on fire
Stranded dazed and confused
Stumbling drunk on you
Consumed by my own desire
But tell me how
Tell me how you

[Chorus]
Burn right through me
You undo me, yeah
But what a way to go
Oh you twist and turn me
Ignite and stir me yeah
You know I gotta learn how you burn
How you burn
Burn

Lost in a stadium full of frowns
Til your smile turned it all around
Now the mention of your name
Fans the flame, the flame that burns

[Chorus]

I wanna just deserve you
Even just to come close
But everytime we kiss
That thought goes up in smoke
Cos you burn

[Chorus]

No need to tell me what your thinking
Cos all the words means nothing at all
Round and sound you keep me turning
But there'll be no one there when you call

Every heart that you break every page you tear
Is there a chance that you take
When your going nowhere, tell me

[Chorus]
Who's sittin pretty now
With the last cards to fall, tell me
Who's gonna hold you now
When it all comes out the same
A little rain must fall on everybody sometimes

If you believe in what your saying
You cant pretend you're lying inside
If there's truth in every story
Then it's the ones you're trying to hold

Everything that you do
Everything that you say
When it comes down to it all
You can't have your own way, tell me

[Chorus]

When you feel the dream is over,
Feel the world is on your shoulders,
and you've lost the strength to carry on.
Even though the walls may crumble,
And you find you always stumble through,
Remember never to surrender to the dark.
Cos if you turn another page,
You will see that's not the way, The story has to end.

[CHORUS:]
If you need to find a way back,
Feel you're on the wrong track,
Give it time, Learn to fly,
Tomorrow is a new day,
You will find you're own way,
You'll be stronger with each day that you cry,
Then you'll learn to fly.
In you're head so many questions,
The truth is your possession,
The answer lies within your heart.
You will see the doors are open,
If you only dare to hope and you,
Will find the way to fight the fears that kept you down.
Cos if you turn another page,
You will see that's not the way,
The story has to end.

[CHORUS]

Looking at your situation,
There's so much that you can do,
Now's the time to make your stand.
This is just an observation,
In the end it's up to you,
The future's in your hands.

[CHORUS]

Something is happening here
Someone is hurting deep inside
How do I get out of here
Someone is mumbling and speaking words
That make no sense
I been thinking it over and over again
What am I supposed to do When all I want is you, and

I just wanna keep my promises to you
Baby every single day I'm standing here
Trying to get through
I wanna give you whatever it takes to be closer to you
baby I just wanna keep my promises to you

Something happened tonight
i wanna know what's going on
Don't tell me I'm the only one
That's keeping it all inside
Just say the word, please talk to me
If it's hopeless make me see
Cos what am I supposed to do
When all I want is you, and

I just wanna keep my promises to you
Baby every single day I'm standing here
Trying to get through
I wanna give you whatever it takes to be closer to you
baby I just wanna keep my promises to you

Everything I'll give you, I'll give you
Everything I'll keep my promises

Out of work, out of place and out of love
Even the sun has gone down
I've been searching
I've been looking all around
Cos I was lost but now finally I'm found

Tune in on tomorrow
Leave my worries behind
Forget all of my sorrows
Won't let that love drive me blind

The morning light comes through my window and fills the room
I saw the darkness has fled
I can see it, I can see it from my bed
I try not to listen to the voices in my head

Tune in on tomorrow
Leave my worries behind
Forget all of my sorrows
Won't let that love drive me blind

And as the time passes on
I'm slowly drifting back
I search for something that you stole
I'd say it felt like as if I lost my soul
But I'm happy now finally I'm home

Tune in on tomorrow
Leave my worries behind
Forget all of my sorrows
Won't let that love drive me blind

We're always in this situation
Your heart filling your head with doubt
But if you won't communicate then
We're never going to work this out
I know you think you've got your reasons
But I don't understand (help me understand)
Can't you see your wish is my command
[Chorus:]
You better
(Tell me what you want to hear)
Pretend that I can't read your mind
(Baby make it crystal clear)
As if you were leading the blind
(Baby give me half a clue)
Don't make it so hard to prove
That I love you, like I do
I don't know how to prove it to you
You make your heart so hard to get to
You put it on the highest shelf
Been hoping since the day I met you
That you would learn to love yourself
It doesn't matter what I do girl
It'll never be enough (never be enough)
Love was never meant to be this tough
[Chorus:]
You just better
(Tell me what you want to hear)
Pretend that I can't read your mind
(Baby make it crystal clear)
As if you were leading the blind
(Baby give me half a clue)
Don't make it so hard to prove
That I love you, like I do
(Tell me all your hopes and fears)
My guess is they're probably mine
(We can sort them out right here)
Baby don't waste no more time
(Don't make it so hard to prove)
Don't make it so hard to prove
That I love you, like I do
There's no other way that I know how
To put you at ease (how do I put you at ease)
But If I'm doing something wrong
Then please, baby please
Tell me what you want to hear
Baby make it crystal clear
Don't make it so hard to prove
That I love you like you know I do
[Chorus:]
Just tell
(Tell me what you want to hear)
Tell me what you want to hear
(Baby make it crystal clear)
Baby make it crystal clear
(Don't be makin' it so hard to prove)
Hard to prove
(That I'm loving you the way I do)
The way I do

Never thought I'd hold another
Like I'm holding you right now
But through you I've rediscovered
How to love again somehow

You brought me back from the place
That I thought no time could erase, till now

Don't know if this will last
Or if our time will come to pass
I'm not concerned with things like where or when
Don't know if it be wise to call that love there in your eyes
I just know it's good to feel this way again

Haven't used this heart for so long
It forgot how to feel
Now that emptiness is all gone
You fill me up with something real

You brought me back from the place
That I thought no time could erase, till now

Don't know if this will last
Or if our time will come to pass
I'm not concerned with things like where or when
Don't know if it be wise to call that love there in your eyes
I just know it's good to feel this way again

I took one look at your face
It brought me back from the place
i thought no time could erase, till now

Don't know if this will last
Or if our time will come to pass
I'm not concerned with things like where or when
Don't know if it be wise to call that love there in your eyes
I just know it's good to feel this way again

Desperately waiting for her to arrive
Longing for strength that I lack
Tears fill my eyes when I realise she's gone
I know that I can't bring her back
She used to make it so easy to love her
She used to make me shine
So stay if you will and I'll show you
The way she loved me for a time
Empty, I lie on the bed that we made
But now I can't get to sleep
She had a way of wearing my clothes
And made them look better than me
She had a heart that could light up the ocean
She told me she was mine
So lend me an ear and I'll tell you
The way she loved me for a time
Oh, I long to hold her
Oh, I want her here to see
Oh, how I ache for her next to me
Desperate I wait for the day that I see her
Hold to her deep inside
The most perfect love that I wanted to be her
From the moment she caught my eye
I light a candle for her every evening
Pour me a glass of wine
I will remember so clearly
The way she loved me for a time
Yes I will remember so dearly
The way she loved me

I'm sitting on a train bound for nowhere
Just trying to survive I'm thinking about the love I hold inside me
Its keeping me alive
Wishing I could change it all
Praying, but I can't go back in time
No wonder, no matter what I say or what I do will ever change your mind

[Chorus:]
I'm looking forward now I'm trying to find my way
I'm looking back and I see only yesterday
Cos time is my friend, isn't always real
Can't help singing about the way that I feel

Laying on a deck chair in the sun
Just trying to catch some rays
Thinking about this thing that they call love
To me it's just a maze
Is it in the trees, the breeze
Or do you see it in a new born's eyes
Or is it when you find the one that's made for you
There'll never be no goodbyes

[Chorus]

And I know that you love me, yeah
One thing I know was true
In the end I just couldn't see
What was meant for me

I listen to the whisper on the wind
Now I recognize the sound
I'm looking down, deep down, deep inside my heart
And I see I'm glory bound
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
