I know it hurts
I know you're bruised
But it's only on the inside
I know you're lost
And you're confused
It's only on the inside
I see you walk
And you're dragging your feet
But it's only for a moment
Stuck at the part
Where you're feeling complete
Yeah, it's only for a moment

It's not too late to walk in my direction
When honey everything you'll needs in your reflection

Who's gonna walk you home
And who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
But you can't fall in love alone

I know you're torn
And in between dreams
But it's all you've ever known
And I know you're worn out at the seams
Yeah, it's all you've ever known
Well there's no place left for you to run
You can cast your past into the sun
Watch it light up the night
And honey you will be fine

It's not too late to walk in my direction
When honey everything you'll needs in your reflection

Who's gonna walk you home
And who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
But you can't fall in love alone
You can't fall in love alone

Tell me who's gonna walk you home, yeah, oh,

Who's gonna walk you home
Who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
Tell me who's gonna walk you home
Tell me who's gonna walk you home

Cause you can't fall in love alone

. . .


Well I never quite knew
Where I stood with you
And my safest bet
Was to disconnect
Yes it's been so long
But the chemicals are never wrong
Don't you get me wrong
You see I don't mind falling in love again
My heart on the line again
No I don't mind
When I'm on your side
See I'm not ready to go alone
So no one told you that a heart could be forever
When I'm not leaving cause were in this thing together
And I don't know which way will take us home
I'm not ready to go alone
So no one told you it don't matter where the road leads
Cause where were going no we won't need anything
And this is not
Goodbye
I'm always on your side
On your side
Well I never quite knew how to handle you
Will it play out soon?
Or should I make a move
Can you see what you started?
Now I'm wounded and guarded
You lead me to believe that were all broken hearted.
See I don't mind falling in love again
My heart on the line again
No I don't mind
When I'm on your side
See I'm not ready to go alone
So no one told you that a heart could be forever
When I'm not leaving cause were in this thing together
And I don't know which way will take us home
I'm not ready to go alone
So no one told you it don't matter where the road leads
Cause where were going no we won't need anything
And this is not
Goodbye
I'm always on your side
On your side
You see I don't mind falling in love again
My heart on the line again
No I don't mind
When I'm on your side
So no one told you that a heart could be forever
When I'm not leaving cause were in this thing together
And I don't know which way will take us home
I'm not ready to go alone
So no one told you it don't matter where the road leads
Cause where were going no we won't need anything
This is not goodbye
I'm always on your side
No this is not goodbye
I'm always on your side
Always on your side

. . .


You don't say much
You don't say any more than you have to
Have you lost touch
With the ones you adore and sought after, yeah
And you don't know why
Yeah, they put a bullet through your heart
And told you not to cry
You know life should be beautiful
So come on out of your shadow for while

I wanna know where you go
When you're dreaming
I wanna see what you see
When your eyes close
And when it all goes down
Will you have a place to run?
Cause I don't know and I can't tell what you're thinking
So we'll just drive through the night
Till we find some kind of home

I swear I never mentioned this to anyone
So go on, you can tell me what it is
You see I, I'm barely hanging on to you
And the way I feel, yeah, somethings got to give

I wanna know where you go
When you're dreaming
I wanna see what you see
When your eyes close
And when it all goes down
Will you have a place to run?
Cause I don't know and I can't tell what you're thinking
So we'll just drive through the night
Till we find some kind of home
Yeah, some kind of home

It's hard enough to walk a line in pieces
But you don't have to do this on your own
We can pass the time by reading signs along the freeway
You don't have to do this alone

I wanna know where you go
When you're dreaming
I wanna see what you see
When your eyes close
And when it all goes down
Will you have a place to run?
Cause I don't know and I can't tell what you're thinking
So we'll just drive through the night
Till we find some kind of home


I wanna know where you go
When you're dreaming
I wanna see what you see
When your eyes close
And when it all goes down
Will you have a place to run?
Cause I don't know and I can't tell what you're thinking
So we'll just drive through the night
Till we find some kind of home
Some kind of home, some kind of home

. . .


We're too far out we're in too deep
And we've got miles to go before we can sleep
I said, we've been walking a thin line
You've got one hand on the devil baby and one hand in mine
But don't let go no it's not too late you know

Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong

So we'll build temples in our heads
When we've grown frail and all our bones are of lead
We've been walking a winding road
Let's go, no footsteps to follow baby and no signs to guide us home
But don't let go, no it's not too late you know

Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong

See I have to believe that there's more than this seems
More than a soul in a boat in a sea of sinking dreams
And I have to be sure that there's gonna be a cure
'cause somewhere down the line, I lost that part of me that's pure.

But don't you let go yet no it's not too late you know
Hold on we're gonna make it if takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong

Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
We're going back where we belong

. . .


I can hear your car
As you're driving in circles

Left in to park
Do you steady and stable
Yeah

So walk with me into the fire
Come on follow me close behind

So we go and we ungo
Secrets and sorrows
Leave while we can
we'll be gone by tomorrow
can't you see how the second enters
We should go while the candle still burns

. . .


We're gonna run
Til the past
Has lost our trace
We're gonna carry on
Like a vagabond
Still looking for his place
We're gonna fly
On a white wind
Through a blue sky
Til we're dancing in the moonlight

We're gonna let go
And let ourselves
Be found
We're gonna set fire
Til we grow tired
And burn our sorrows to the ground
I'm gonna take your hand
Till you see through yourself
And back again
We'll be dancing in the moonlight

See we're all looking
For something, for someone
For anything. For anyone
But I'm, I'm still looking for you
We're gonna hold our ground
Right through the bitter end
Where troubled souls and wild horses
Can run free again
We're gonna fly
On a white wind
Through a blue sky
Til we're dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
We'll be dancing in the moonlight Baby
Dancing in the moonlight
We'll be dancing in the moonlight Baby
See you and I
Are gonna walk this life
Til we're outta breath
Til we're outta sight
Honey, we're gonna fly
On a white wind
Through a blue a sky
Til we're dancing in the moonlight
Til we're dancing in the moonlight
Til we're dancing in the moonlight

. . .


What do you say, you're having doubts?
Your candle's burned and long been out
What do you say?
What do you mean, you can't go on?
You've had your love and now it's gone
What do you say?

You say, I'm so tired of the red tape
That holds me to a heartache
And I'm so tired of the same fight
That keeps me at the crash site

Oh, could it be you?
Been left behind

I would try to find you
I'd try my best to rush
I've cleared all the cobwebs
There's nothing here but dust

What do you say, you've had enough?
A thief has come to take your love away
What do you mean you can't hold on?
It's been this way for far too long

You say I'm too tired to surrender and too weak
I'm too old to remember how it could be
Oh, could it be you?
Been left behind

I would try to find you
I'd try my best to rush
I've cleared all the cobwebs
There's nothing here but dust

Still I try
Still I try to reach you

Should the dark fall upon you
Don't let it get you down
No, I'll be looking for you
Don't let it get you down

I would try to find you
I'd try my best to rush
I've cleared all the cobwebs
There's nothing here but dust

Still I try
Still I try to reach you

. . .


Are you gonna turn
Your back on a blue sky
Are you gonna play this part
Til there's no tears to dry
So who you gonna hold
When the night is moving on
And who you gonna blame now
For the aching that you feel
So are you gonna stay
In the place where you started
Or do you wanna hold my hand
In the middle of america

Are you gonna run
Are you gonna run
Til you can't anymore
You know it's gonna hurt
You know it's gonna hurt
With your heart on the floor
But you want to fall in love
Do you want to touch
Light of morning
Cause its who you're thinking of
Its you I'm thinking of

Are you gonna let go
When the past holds you down
And how you gonna carry your own weight
When I am not around
Or do you want to rest your head
In a field in the moonlight
Or do you want to hold this slave
And let it burn through the night

Are you gonna run
Are you gonna run
Til you can't anymore
You know it's gonna hurt
You know it's gonna hurt
With your heart on the floor
But you want to fall in love
Do you want to touch
Light of morning
Cause its you I'm thinking of
Its you I'm thinking of

You don't have to hold breath
Til you can't breathe
Don't have to cry yourself to sleep
And you've been walking after midnight
On a tight rope
I can see you shaking now

Are you gonna run
Are you gonna run
Til you can't anymore
You know it's gonna hurt
You know it's gonna hurt
With your heart on the floor

Are you gonna run
Are you gonna run
Til you can't anymore
You know it's gonna hurt
You know it's gonna hurt
With your heart on the floor
But you want to fall in love
Do you want to touch
Light of morning
Cause its who you I'm thinking
Its you I'm thinking of
Do you want to fall in love

. . .


There's no use to play it down there's gonna be blood so let's do this once and be down
for the record I wanna get this down in writing
it's your hand on the wheel and not mine

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure

she dreams of machines, an electric king that will miss her
and all at once the answer's comin' in
she says I don't want to be left out to wonder,
no I won't retreat to the backseat this time

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure
I can see the motorcade.

The sirens weep and the flowers have been laid.
It could've been us with a white fence.
Said it could've been us and all the rest.
For the record I wanna get this down in writing,
It's your hand on the wheel and not mine.

So long, so long who's to say where the road will pave
So long, so long who's to say when the tide will change when nothing's for sure
I can see the motorcade.
The sirens weep and the flowers have been laid
So long, So long

. . .


How long do you think
You will stand a fool in the Desert
A boy with no plan

The day's on her last leg again
I cross it all slowing while the next
one comes in

But it don't really matter
Noo

You can't have the world see you like this
And you can't stay for more than a Night
That you'll be close where you are
And that I will be missed
But still I cant turn out the
Lights

I don't want to live in limbo baby
I don't want to come home to an empty bed
Said I'm so tired of the quiet baby
And I'm to young to play
Dead

So come on and go out with grace
Lay down for a season and down for the rain

Say you can't have the world see you like this
And you can't stay for more than a Night
That you'll be close where you are
And that I will be missed
But still I cant turn out the
Lights

I can hear you footsteps at the front door
I can feel your heart pressed upon your poor soul
But it don't really matter
Cuz you'll be home Come November

I can see you tremble from here
I can see you tremble from here
And I think I'm gonna to break soon
Said I think I'm gonna break soon

You can't have the world see you like this
And you can't stay for more than a Night

I can hear you footsteps at the front door
I can feel your heart pressed upon your poor soul
But it don't really matter
No it dont really matter

You can't have the world see you like this
And you can't stay for more than a Night
That you'll be close where you are
And that I will be missed
But still I cant turn out the
Lights

I can hear you footsteps at the front door
I can feel your heart pressed upon your poor soul
But it don't really matter
You'll be home come November
