  • When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
    When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
    Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

    Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
    When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
    When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

    Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
    Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
    If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

    If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
    When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

    Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
    Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
    And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
    Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.


    Wish you were here...

    I've been learning my lines
    I've been chasing my time
    I've been changing my mind
    For a while

    I've been boring my friends
    I've been burning both ends
    I've been rounding the bend
    For a while

    Well is it for fame and fortune
    Or is it for a better place
    Is it for peace and plenty
    Or is it for the sake of face

    Is it all for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you

    I've been rolling so high
    I've been meaning to try
    I've been waving goodbye
    For a while

    I've been three/four parts stoned
    I've been out on my own
    I've been moving alone
    For a while

    And is it for fame and fortune
    And is it for a better place
    Is it for peace and plenty
    Or is it for the sake of face

    Is it all for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you

    I've been learning my lines
    I've been changing my mind
    I've been chasing my time
    For a while

    I've been boring my friends
    I've been burning both ends
    I've been rounding the bend
    For a while

    Well is it for fame and fortune
    And is it for a better place
    Is it for peace and plenty
    Or is it for the sake of face

    Is it all for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love of you
    All for the love - of you

  • Yeah, hey, hey
    When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
    When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
    If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
    When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
    When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
    If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
    When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
    If theres no love, I wanna try to love again

    I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
    I'll find us a way to make light
    I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
    What's saved could be one last lifetime

    hey, hey, hey
    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
    yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
    fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah

  • She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
    I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
    I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
    I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
  • Vacate is the word
    Vengeance has no place so near to her
    Cannot find the comfort in this world
    Artificial tear
    Vessel stabbed
    Next up volunteers
    Vulnerable wisdom can't adhere

    A truant finds home
    And I wish to hold on
    But there's a trapdoor in the sun
    Immortality

    As privileged as a whore
    Victims in demand for public show
    Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
    Holier than thou how?
    Surrendered, executed anyhow
    Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor

    A truant finds home
    And I wish to hold on, too
    But saw the trapdoor in the sun

    I cannot stop the thought
    I'm running in the dark
    Coming up a which way sign
    All good truants must decide
    Oh,

    Stripped and sold, mom
    Auctioned forearm
    And whiskers in the sink
    Truants move on
    Cannot stay long
    Some die just to live
    Ohh

  • So many times
    I've been fooling myself
    It's a hard hand to play
    Falls on nobody else

    Those in the city
    Reaching out to grab hold
    Of something they've only heard about
    And never been shown

    Who do you turn to and what do you say?
    When she's got the power and she got the way
    Does it matter at all
    Who survives and who falls
    When we live under darkness
    And hide behind walls?


    Why would anyone
    Even try to hold sway
    Over somebody else
    In such a small way

    Where are the answers
    To the problems we face?
    Who would teach us
    About sharing and living in grace?

    Who do you turn to and what do you say
    When she's got the power and she got the way?
    Does it matter at all
    Who survives and who falls
    When we live under darkness
    And hide behind walls?

    Another week in the drivers seat
    With your feet up on the dashboard
    Rain it kept a steady beat
    As I watched you dream of Houston

    I ain't never going back
    Yes sir that's a fact
    As you waved your cowboy hat
    And sang 'The Yellow Rose Of Texas'

    Just trying to make high ground
    Has kept us on the run
    There's no crime in toeing the line
    Cause fortune is smiling on us baby
    And we're gonna walk in the sun

    I might dream about Houston
    But Houston don't dream about me
    If I could keep this between the lines
    Who knows what will be

    Loose change days and motel nights
    Day old coffee dollar postcards
    State trooper's flashing lights
    As we listen to the thunder

    As we talk about our past
    So we see our coming future
    You tell me you know love can last
    While staring out the window

    Just looking for a place to hide
    A place to ease our minds
    A place away from yesterday
    Close to tomorrow away from the sorrows
    Of living other people's time

    I might dream about Houston
    But Houston don't dream about me
    If I could keep this between the lines
    Who knows what will be

    How long how long
    Till we feel the change
    How long how long
    Will the skies be gray
    How long how long
    Will it be this way
    How long how long
    Will she stay

    I might dream about Houston
    But Houston don't dream about me
    If I could keep it between the lines
    Who knows what will be

    I might dream about Houston
    But Houston don't dream about me
    If I could keep it between the lines
    Who knows what
    Who knows what
    Who knows what will be

    So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
    blue skies from pain.
    Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
    And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
    How I wish, how I wish you were here.
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here.


    Wish you were here...

    Old man take a look at my life
    I'm a lot like you
    I need someone to love me
    the whole day through
    Ah, one look in my eyes
    and you can tell that's true

    I gave you all the love I got
    I gave you more than I could give
    I gave you love
    I gave you all that I have inside
    And you took my love
    You took my love

    Didn't I tell you
    What I believe
    Somebody say that
    A love like that won't last
    Didn't I give you
    All that I've got to give baby

    I gave you all the love I got
    I gave you more than I could give
    I gave you love
    I gave you all that I have inside
    And you took my love
    You took my love

    I keep crying
    I keep trying for you
    There's nothing like you and I baby

    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love
    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love

    When you came my way
    You brightened every day
    With your sweet smile

    Didn't I tell you
    What I believe
    Did somebody say that
    A love like that won't last
    Didn't I give you
    All that I've got to give baby

    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love
    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love

    I keep crying
    I keep trying for you
    There's nothing like you and I baby

    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love
    This is no ordinary love
    No ordinary love

    Keep trying for you
    Keep crying for you
    Keep flying for you
    Keep flying I'm falling

    I'm falling

    Keep trying for you
    Keep crying for you
    Keep flying for you
    Keep flying and I'm falling
    and I'm falling

    Wish you were here...

    someday yeah...
    he'll begin his life again....
  • Pity, take pity on me
    Because I'm not half the man that I should be
    I'm always turning to run
    From the people I should not be afraid of
    And darling, you should know
    That I have fantasies about being alone
    It's like love is a lesson
    That I can't learn
    So I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't swim
    But who will dip his toe in
    Just to keep you here with him

    I've got this habit I abhor
    When we go out, I'm always watching the door
    As if there's someone I'm gonna see
    Who could out-do the things that you do to me

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't fly
    But who will take to the skies
    If he thinks you're about to say goodbye

    Pity, take pity on me
    Because I'm not half the man that I should be
    And I don't blame you, you've had enough
    With all these empty promises and countless bluffs

    I know you can't hold out forever
    Waiting on a diamond and a tether
    From a boy who won't jump
    When he falls in love
    He just stands with his toes on the edge
    And he waits for it to disappear again
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

    Down to who knows who just to socialize
    I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
    You got your ways to make a man
    Honey, you got to understand
    I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs

    Well, well, Lordie my God
    What do we got here
    She's flashin' 'cross the floor
    Make it perfectly clear
    You're the bait and you're the hook
    Someone bound to take a look
    I'm your man, child, Lord Of The Thighs

    You must have come here to find me
    You've got the look in your eyes
    Although you really don't mind it
    I am the Lord Of Your Thighs

    You must have come here to find me
    You've got the look in your eyes
    Although you really don't mind it
    I am the Lord Of Your Thighs

    Wish you were here...

    "Force Of Nature"

    Understand She's a Force of Nature
    Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
    Exercising her will to lose control
    she lets go

    Common Man he don't stand a chance no
    one to love who allowed his in the hole
    no way to save someone who wont take the role
    and just let's go

    One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
    a beacon on dry land
    eyes above the horizon
    in the dark before the dawn

    hurricane has the trade winds blowing
    gale force shaking windows in the storm
    shipwreck from a love that he calls home
    one light on

    Somewhere there's a siren singing
    solmenly he hears
    all the strengths you might think would
    disappear resolving

    one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    Eyes above the horizon
    in the dark before the
    darkness leaves the dawn

    Makes me ache
    Makes me shake
    Is it so wrong to think that
    Love can keep us safe?

    Last I saw he was out there waiting
    a silhouette in the black light full moon
    in the sand there he stands upon the shore
    Forevermore

    somewhere there's a siren singing
    solemnly he hears
    all the strength
    that you might think would disappear, resolving

    one man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    eyes are closed, you cannot know
    but his heart don't seem to know...
    grow...
    home....


    Wish you were here...

    Hey... oooh...
    Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
    Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
    All five horizons revolved around her soul
    As the earth to the sun
    Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

    Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
    Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
    And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
    Of what was everything.
    Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    I take a walk outside
    I'm surrounded by some kids at play
    I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
    Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
    I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
    How quick the sun can drop away

    And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
    Of what was everything?
    All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

    All the love gone bad turned my world to black
    Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...
    Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

    Aah... uuh..

    Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]



    Wish you were here...

    do you see the way that tree bends?
    does it inspire?
    leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    a lesson to be applied
    are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense
    have you ideas on how this life ends?
    checked your hands and studied the lines
    have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
    seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    to find an approach and a way to live
    are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense



    Wish you were here...

    Hold on to the thread
    The currents will shift
    Glide me towards...
    You know something's left
    And we're all allowed
    To dream of the next
    Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...

    You don't have to stray
    Tho oceans away
    Waves roll in my thoughts
    Hold tight the ring...
    The sea will rise...
    Please stand by the shore...
    Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
    I will be there once more...

    Wish you were here...
