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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
Back to top
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
