Outside Looking In

Always on the outside
Always on the outside, baby
Always on the outside looking in
You walk away so easy
You can't come back again
Always on the outside looking in

Can't lay a hand on you
You move through this house like a phantom
There's nothing here for you
But I can tell when you blow through

Always on the outside
Always on the outside, baby
Always on the outside looking in
You let it go so easy
You can't get it back again
Always on the outside looking in

I know that's you
I'm not afraid
A black-eyed dog waits by my door tonight
Will you turn and walk away?

Now I can see through you
You live and die by the same rule

Always on the outside
Always on the outside, baby
Always on the outside looking in
You walk away so easy
You can't come back again
Always on the outside looking in
You give it up so easy
You can't get it back again
Always on the outside looking in

In Another Lifetime (All Right Alone)

Look up in the sky
That ain't a bird, that ain't a plane
I think it's your soul flying away from me
Where will you go?
What will become of you?

All right alone
We'll be all right alone
All right now it's time to let it go

In another lifetime
You go your way
Never see your lips move, never breathe a word
In another lifetime
I'll go my way
We'll be all right alone

You're passing through me
A ghost who could never let it be
Remember the day the sky went black on me
Out of this world
Into my memory

All right alone
All right now I'm letting you go

In another lifetime
You go your way
Never get to hold you, never hear your side
In another lifetime
I'll go my way
We'll be all right alone
All right on our own
All right alone

Look up in the sky
That ain't a tear, that ain't a lie
I think it's your soul flying away from here

All right I'm out on my own

In another lifetime
You go your way
Never take a chance, never get so high
In another lifetime
I'll go my way
We'll be all right alone

In another lifetime
You go your way
Never hear your heart beat, never say goodbye
In another lifetime
I'll go my way
We'll be all right alone
All right alone
All right on our own

Coming Home

I'm stuck inside my car
Like a bug in a jar
And I can't get enough air
Staring out at the house
At the kids and the spouse
Wish I could send up a flare
I don't know what to do
To make this dream feel true
There's so much riding on me
And I can't let you see
I don't think I'm prepared

Gotta get back down where I come from
Get ready now 'cause here I come

Hey, I'm coming home
I'm on my way
I'm coming home
Coming home to stay

How many years ago
In a California glow
Did I slip into the sea?
I know where I came from
But not what I've become
Nobody cares what came between
Who's gonna rescue me?
Life's got the best of me and I can't see

Rock steady, you better save me some

Hey, I'm coming home
I'm on my way
I'm coming home
Coming home to stay

Been gone so long
Flying solo
Out where the time goes
Now I'm coming home

Gotta get back down home

Hey, I'm coming home
I'm on my way
I'm coming home
Here I come

Feel So Real

Come on let's get real

Something in the way you feel
What's in your heart
You got to let your lips reveal
And I know we're choking on our pride
I need a taste
Of what's bottled up inside

I don't know why
We're so scared to try

I'll make you feel so real tonight

Submarine or satellite
Under cover
Or higher than a kite
I heard about a place that's in between
Everything is exactly what it seems

I'll meet you there
True love's a dare

I'll make you feel so real tonight
Come on let's get real

I don't know why
We're so scared to try

I'll make you feel so real tonight

Right By Your Side

If you want to go out and get loaded
I'll drive you there
Stand beside you at the bar rail, baby
We'll make the perfect pair
Any pearl you want to cast before me
I'll listen and learn
Any song you want to dance to, honey
I will take a turn
Right by your side
Half a step behind you
Right by your side tonight

If you wake up feeling rough tomorrow
I'll shut out the glare
Lie still and quiet
You won't even know I'm there
Right by your side
Half a step behind you
Right by your side tonight

And I don't want to be the king of the world
Anymore
I just want to be your man

Right by your side
Half a step behind you
Right by your side tonight

Give It All Up For You

Shoot me full of the good life
Then you leave me for dead
All this junk between us
Is clouding up my head
Long past midnight
This ought to be the end
But like a falling man
I reach out for my friend

Don't leave me where you found me
All this sunlight hurts my head
Cast me in the shadows
Of what I've become instead

I give it all up for you
Again

I know it's killing me
But I'm crawling back again
Huddled in your doorway crying
Now open up the vein
Long past midnight
I can't recall the pain

Please let me down easy
Let your lies cast their magic spell
Tell me any good heaven
Must feel a lot like hell

I give it all up for you
Again

I want to show you one
Your own heaven
I want to watch your eyes open wide
Again

I'm gonna crawl back to you

I give it all up for you
Again and again

Got to give it up
Got to give it up

August

You say you want to go back to the way it used to be
When everybody felt so fine
Money in our pockets, gas out in the car
Never running short on time
Remember how we'd take off for the slightest reason why
Pick up and leave it all behind

Now we're stuck in this tired old town
We're the only ones still hanging around

In August everybody goes away
These quiet streets seem so strange
These are the longest days
When you're waiting on a change

Slip out for a long walk to plan our getaway
Beneath a watchdog moon
The whole world is standing still, the air don't even move
Except the ghost of you

You walk beside me but we're getting nowhere
I'm not sure if you're really there

In August everybody goes away
This empty house feels so strange
These are the longest days
When you're waiting on a change

And I know you're miles away
On your island in the air
Tonight if you come back home
Tonight we can change
These are the longest days

Now you wonder if you got it all wrong
All your dreams are ten years gone

Everybody goes away
This quiet house feels so strange
These are the longest days
When you're waiting on a change
These are the longest days
Everybody goes away

My Word

I lie awake at night and listen to you sleep
In every shallow breath a promise I will keep
You want my word?
You've got my word

And if you wake up and everyone is gone
Breathe my name, little bird
You know I won't be long
You want my word?
I give my word

Bare your soul to me
Leave it all behind
Stand here naked by my side
It's you and me tonight
And all we need love will provide
I give you my word

There was a moment when I thought that I could leave
Walk away from everything that I believe
You want my word?
I gave my word

Bare your soul to me
Leave it all behind
Stand here naked by my side
It's you and me tonight
And all we need love will provide
I give you my word

It's all I have to give
Will you ever take my word?

Do you want my word?

Bare your soul to me
Leave it all behind
Lie here naked by my side
It's you and me tonight
And all we need love will provide

I've got nothing left to give, my love
I leave it all to you

Perfect Day

Everybody tells me to lighten up
It's good to be alive
Take a look around at all the good things you got
Right before your very eyes
Everything you want, everything you need, everything you dream
Every thing you desire
Tell me why none of it seems to fill up
All these empty lives
I never asked you for much
Just a little bit of your time

When I needed somebody
You were so far away
When I wanted somebody
I believe there's somebody
Who can show me the way
Give me one perfect day

When we had nothing, we had something
Living life on the fly
No strings attached, no hands
Not a cloud messing up our perfect sky
Nothing you can do, nothing you can say, nothing in the world
Gonna make me lose this high
Step into thin air
There are wings everywhere

When I needed somebody
You were so far away
When I wanted somebody
I believe there's somebody
Who can show me the way

I believe there's someone in the world who'll listen to me
Stay up with me through the night
I believe this life slips away
I can't wait till tomorrow for my perfect day
Gimme one perfect day

I know someone can understand

When I needed somebody
You were so far away
When I wanted somebody
I believe there's somebody
Who can show me the way
Gimme one perfect day
Just one perfect day

Hiding The Gray

I guess I'm too old to die young
Too far past my prime to be a tragedy
What would the papers all say?
"He skipped the burn out and went straight to fade away"
Oh, no, life goes on
There's no way out when things go wrong
Who left all this time here by my side?

No hiding the gray
Shake out the strands of yesterday
Every love you ever made gives you away
I'm spinning out silver in this golden age
No hiding the gray
I'm not hiding the gray

My black jeans fit me too tight
It takes a lot more than I got to stay up all night
Now I wake up with the sun
Drop the kids at school
And take a shot at number one
Oh, no, I'm not done yet
When I go down there's no regrets
I've still got time to learn how to fly

Stop hiding the gray
Shake out the strands of yesterday
Every love you ever made gives you away
I'm spinning out silver in this golden age
No hiding the gray
I'm not hiding the gray

No hiding the gray
Shake out the strands of yesterday
Every love you ever made gives you a way
I'm spinning out silver in this golden age
No hiding the gray
I'm not hiding the gray

One Fine Day

I thought the ending would be the hardest part
But now I know it's harder
To make a brand new start
To give me your all

One fine day
We're gonna leave this world behind
So let it shine

I know you need much more than I can give
And I've hurt you more
Than you can ever forgive
But I know we tried

One fine day
We're gonna leave this world behind
So let it shine
Let it shine

When the sun goes down will we understand?
Our love was gold

One fine day
We're gonna leave this world behind
So let it shine
