Back when we were still changin' for the better
Wanting was enough
For me it was enough
They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
Darling don't you weep
There's a place for me
Somewhere we can sleep
See you in your dreams
Need a little sweetness in my life
Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless except for her heart
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
Oh, and you
You're always holdin' onto stars
I think they're better from afar
Because no one here is gonna save us
Oh, and me
Well, I am fadin' in the dark
Are you with me after all?
Why can't I hear you?
Are you with me through it all?
Then why can't I feel you?
I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I'm mad about you
You're mad about me, babe
A couple of fools run wild, aren't we?
I keep a record of the wreckage of my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
In between the moon and you, the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for bein' strange
And when your stitch comes loose, I wanna sleep on
Every piece of fuzz and stuffing that comes out of you
And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it's so, oh oh oh
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger," I heard you say
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Who wouldn’t be the one you love?
Who wouldn’t stand inside your love?
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul
And beautiful
You
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I'm unaware
Lost inside your visions
I got mine too over now
I got mine and I got you
'Cause I know you
You're love
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Well, you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
You know, I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould, I'm here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you
