- Burning Down Inside
Play the game of indecision, come what may, she knows it isn't just
His voice on the line, one final time she hears thunder
Precious lies when she played her part
Still she tries, because hope dies hard
With broken wings, she can feel the sting like a backhand over the telephone
In her eyes, shimmers twilight, drivin' hard, it gives up the fight
And she fights it back, knowing that the dam could break wide open
- Forever Young
No sleeping
She waits 'til it's late
Trying to stay tough
Never ending
However long she waits
It's just nine
He's sleeping late
No word come round
- Nothing But Love
What is this thing pullin' at my heart, how does she keep from fallin' apart
What do we have when things get rough, I heard the word, it's nothing but love
Yeah!
How can a man bear the weight of the world
What can he do to hold on to you, girl
What power keeps him from cryin' "enough!"
I heard the word, it's nothing but love
It ain't nothing but love, that's what I'm thinkin' of
- Reach
Midnight my regrets play their shadow game
Thought I heard you singing in your sleep
Softly a lighter touch drives the ghosts away
The shelter you bring me runs so deep
And in the middle of it all
You’re waiting there to break the spell
So when the darkness takes its turn
- Rescue Me
Had to write this letter to you, 'cause this emptiness won't go away
Every day I shoot for something, sometimes I'm running from the ricochet
When the pressure gets too high, I like to think about you standing by my side
Saying, "And I need to hear you call my name, and I'm begging you to sing"
Chorus:
Wouldn't you sing for me one time?
Wouldn't you try to look my way and rescue me (rescue me)
Wouldn't you sing me just one line
- Sail Away
I was lookin' out on dry land, no intentions, I didn't have no plans
That's when I knew, no doubt, I had hit bottom and I was getting out
No more people to hold me down, fight the ghost in my hometown
All the walls will crumble down
So I called up my man Michael, dropped everything and oh
We don't need directions, to do what we need done
And we learn to travel lightly, we learn to travel strong
If we never lost the fire, we'd win before too long
- Scream
Looking back on the first half of my life
I was told to be a good child, a happy child
All will be well
Looking up I could see your eyes
I could see I was a loved child, a special child
And you would be there
But as I became myself
Testing out the bound of fickle love’s embrace
- Seasons
So long ago she took my hand
I heard the sound of the sea sinkin' in the sand
But we changed like the seasons, I never understand
Seasons they fly, stealin', they never will say why they've come and gone
Takin' their time, like shapes in the night, they pass alone
When I'm down, I got the midnight fireworks while singin' blues
Got my walking papers, got my walking shoes
- Standing Alone
Starin' out the window like I'm waiting for a change
As if I'd stare long enough, I'd see it when it came
I used the book of numbers by the silent telephone
I called up everyone I found, but didn't talk to no one
And the rain comes down as if it's trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic movin' lines, like they say
- The End Of The Summer Days
There's an old pair of sneakers dangling from a wire
And my old rusty engine is in need of some brand new tires
And from my front steps, the last of the weekend vettes goes blasting by
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time
Chorus:
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
The same old record played
- Walk On Fire
Ooh, come on!
Out of love, in time I've been shoved down
Spinning 'round in circles, left me upside down
Turned my heart to stone, a rock don't bleed
My heart is a prisoner that can't break free
You come along with fire and dynamite
Blew the roof right offa this poor boy's life
I'm the cat, I howl, strikin' home
- Wings
Falling so hard for you woman, would you say that love's a crime
Jury can call me inguilty, but I want what's mine
And now I'm crying out in anger, the night has taken you away
Filin' the sins of another can lock you away
And you can knock on any door, from now until eternity
And you can keep on lookin' anywhere, you won't find another man like me
If I only had the wings to fly, leave the chains of love below
Take my heart up in the sky, I would never let you go
