- Give Me a Reason -
They say it gets easier as days go by, but no one ever made me believe
They say that its easy when youre living blind, it never came easy to me
If you give me a reason to go, Ill walk right out that door.
Give me a reason to stay; Ill be here every day.
Give me a reason to go and Ill walk right out that door.
Give me a reason to stay and Ill be here every day.
We waited and it never arrived, The day when this would fall into place,
I turn around as I said goodbye, I never saw the look on her face.
I get this feeling all over my body, its like Im finally free
Its how you feel when youre over somebody
The door is open for me.
Give me a reason to go, Ill walk right out that door.
Give me a reason to stay or Im leaving
One thing Ill say for you, you always saw things through;
You saw me fall again and again.
One thing Ill say for you, you always saw things through...
Now watch me walk away.
- You're There -
She sat beneath the tallest tree, felt the grass move around her feet
Felt the wind blow through her hair, she said “I wanna float away”
All her thoughts of warmer days, they begin to quickly fade away,
To thoughts of February days, when she gave it all away
She said, I wanna run away, he said, what can make you stay
She said, can you make my world another place?
She said, I wanna run away, he said, will you come back someday?
She said, keep the piece of me that died in you.
She wants to fly through the trees, feel the seas at her knees,
And fall like shooting stars though darkened skies of tragedy
I’ll be the first one she’ll show, this world has brought her to her knees
And when she needs, yeah, but when she needs she’s gonna run.
She feels it falling on her face, “What’s your fascination with the rain?”
It makes me feel like I’m not the only thing falling
I’ll never make you stay Wish I could show you the way.
Remember the time you said you wanna be free again
Well I cried when you said, I wanna be clean again
Well stand in the rain, let it wash it away everything
Everything you don’t want to stay.
- The One -
With every step I take along this open road,
I long for your hand to be in mine someway.
It’s all the little things you do,
That make me know you feel this too.
And every day I’m more in love...
You’re the one I dream of
And here you are in front of me; it’s been so plain for me to see
Now that you’re here, don’t walk away.
You are the one I want to know,
You’re everywhere I want to go
You are the one I want to see in that dress walking to me
- Another Rainy Night -
Another rainy night, I'm driving home alone... I wonder why she's calling me
So I turn off the phone, turn on the radio.... The DJ plays a song for me.
I had no way to know,
It’s not what I planned; it’s out of my hands.
I’m headed out on a southbound train, I can’t believe that it happened again
I fell in love on a short on a short vacation, I left a note with an explanation that I’m not meant to stay
I didn’t mean to lead her on,
I didn’t know that we would fall in love, it’s not my fault
She tries to tell me she can’t take this, I can’t stay but I can’t take the blame
I find a place and I start my life, we find it harder and harder to write;
I tried to call but her boyfriend answered, she’s moving on so I never asked her, if she feels the same
I’m walking on the shore in the town we met before, I see her face in front of me
I ask her not to go, She’s quick to let me know there’s nowhere she’d rather be.
I take her hand I pull her in...
We walk away (I take her hand and say)
"My love won’t fade" (Never fade away)
"I will be by your side till the day I die."
-Please Stay-
With me in your life
You’ll never have to face a day alone
The way that you smile at me
I’ll never be the same when you’re not home
You wanted to come my way, and now it’s come so far.
Now you’re every day, with me every way
You don’t have to go, so please just stay
The way I feel inside, the way you make me smile
The way you make me dream
The way you make me love
I wish there were words to make you know the way I feel
I know, there’s always those three we say,
But sometimes I just wish for something more
I promise you’ll know someday, I know I can’t be wrong.
-Something to Hold On To--
I used to have a girl who left me on her way
We had a lot, but not enough to make her stay
Do you think about me?
And how do you feel about me in the places that you’ve never been without me there?
Give me something to hold on to, before I let it go
When stars burn out, they burn the sky
I don’t know why my arms around your waist feel empty
Take my hand and never go away
You’ll never know the way you make me feel today
You’ll never know the way you make me feel, insane
Before you runaway from me:
Give me something to hold on to, before I let it go awa.y
My arms around your waist feel empty...
Never go away.
Give me something to hold onto, before I let it go.
-Seven Days-
As I drive around this empty town,
I feel the four walls closing around
And even though it’s been so long
I close my eyes cause sight is just a tease
Everything they’ve seen it’s took from me.
If it takes some time, ‘til winter’s over
I promise sun will come someday,
And every minute, I’m counting till the day I see you... where’d you go?
The past might find us, and years fly by us
Good to see you, how’d you know to find me here where summer finds us
Falling back in moonlit sands;
Tracing star-lines with empty hands... and seven nights will pass us by,
minutes pass until we say goodbye.
I never wanted it this bad
It wasn’t till you left that I knew just what I had.
Take your time, think it over
-Set Me Free-
She peels a layer at a time
Revealing her tendencies, and she throws them back at me
Moonlit sadness on her face slowly breaks me down
If it's easier to say that you don't care
Just go and pretend that you don't...
Yeah it's harder to say that you care, but I wish you would
And set me free
She pulls on a layer, pulls it piece by piece... up to her face,
She lays in transparent peace
She bleeds the words of my heart, she's drowning but that's ok
Now she's breaking down...
-Paint This Town-
Top down, radio on, turn it up they’re playing our song
Let’s paint this town.
My best friends are here with me, the city lights are so inviting
Let us breathe (Let It Be).
We’re sorry, we can’t come home.
We’re out here, we’re on our own.
This town has called my name forever.
Three hours left till dawn, the night goes on and on
Lets paint this town.
The sun takes the night away, and it takes my breath away
I will remember the times we have together
This night will stay with us forever.
-Leaves (3am)-
3am I get your call,
“Why’d you go?”, she said,
I can’t live without you my life is nothing without you
She said I wanna go back to the place we used to go.
I said 'You’re wrong
It’s just that I had brought so many more before you.
They have only gone cause you weren’t there for me
Why did you run away from me?
They only go because you ran away
The leaves on the trees, they’ll just fall again.
The cold air and smell of the leaves get me every time
Like the days in the summer we met,
We were young and you ran away
I’m better off anyway.
and again.
-Name-
And even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away,
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose got tossed along the way.
Letters that you never meant to send, lost or thrown away.
Now we're grown up orphans that never knew their names,
We don't belong to no one that's a shame.
You could hide beside me maybe for a while,
And I won't tell no one your name.
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far.
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?
You grew up way too fast, now there's nothing to believe...
And reruns all become our history.
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio,
I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same.
It's lonely where you are come back down-
...And I won't tell em your name
-Rzeznik/Tacak
