How many lies have you told today
Into the dark of your coffee cup
To cover up your footprints
How many times have I heard you say stay
Won’t you let me tie you up?
With minor cords and smoke rings
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you’re losing it
I hear you’ve found someone to take the blame
Playmate, is it true?
She’s fuel on your roaring fire
I hear she’s nice but messed up just the same
Sweet kamikaze, dying proof
That down is this season’s higher
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you’re losing
It seems you’re losing
I think you’re losing it
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you’re losing it
Take what you want from me
Take what you can
And then hide it somewhere I can’t see
Out of my hands
Do what it takes to make you feel better
Never forget that you
You’re nobody’s man
I love the way you set me off
With a stroke of your hand
And your puzzled look when we make love
That you don’t understand
But nothing I’ve got will make you feel better
At the break of dawn you’ll still
Be nobody’s man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all…
Me
So come and lay by my side
In my castle of sand
Let’s love til the early tide
Breaks down the dam
Stay if you want for worse or for better
But never forget that you
You’re nobody’s man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all…
Me
You… You… You… You…
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all…
Me
Where are you now, my friend?
Pulling your bike past their windows again?
You know they won’t let you in
You don’t change the city
The city changes you
Where are you now, my love?
Still in the war with the Aphrodite Mob?
What was I thinking of?
You don’t change the city
The city…
You close your eyes
Fall into the rythm
Under the lights
You don’t see the shadows
Your shadow watches you
Where does it go, my love?
A mere song that echos from the rooftops above
You’ve given all but please don’t give up
You don’t touch the magic
The magic touches you
Under the lights
We fall into the rythm
We close our eyes
We don’t watch the city
The city… You…
Give in to your confusion
There’s no good in hiding
Why you’re unusual
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, it will be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We’ve got too much to lose
It’s too late to be perfect
And it’s not like we haven’t tried
It’s hard but it’s worth it
Every time we get it right
Every time you give in
And go where it takes you
Stand by the feeling
Even if it breaks you
It’s always a guess which way is the best
Take what you find and make it good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We’ve got too much to lose
It’s too late to be perfect
And it’s not like we haven’t tried
It’s hard but it’s worth it
Every time we get it right
And even when you’re lost inside yourself
Even when too weak to cry for help
Even when you can’t put up a fight
Even when you’re broken you aren’t quite
Maybe it’s the struggle that you need
Something to disturb you in your sleep
A kiss of madness on your cheek
When will you see you’ve got to
Give in to you confusion
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, let it be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We’ve got too much to lose
Too young to be heros
It’s too late to be perfect
And it’s not like we haven’t tried
It’s hard but it’s worth it
Every time we give
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been – how far
It doesn’t matter how run down you are
Or if there’s nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I’ve told you every selfish lie I know
I’ve taken falls from dizzy heights – I’ve let go
But there is a simple truth to find below
Where it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I’m on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I’m in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There’s nothing else I can do
I’m in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
I’m on a rescue
Love is a thousand shades of grey – and we know
There’s not a safe or certain way to go
But when we’ve seen all, uneasiness and hate, it will show
That it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I’m on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I’m in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There’s nothing else I can do
I’m in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There’s nothing else I can do I’m in the red for you
Tonight
I’m on a rescue….
When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
I’m just a soft shell melting between your hands
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
I gain from you as you gain from me
I’d never try to place my sins on your shoulders
I know that is just the way it works
You’re my mirror
Everything I do I see through you
You’re my mirror
Me, in your eyes I hide
You’re my mirror
What you see is what you put in me
You’re my mirror
In your eyes
As I turn around to leave, still in your shape
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the pane by your bed
What an odd surprise to bump into myself like that
No wall to send me back my call
I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn
And the empty space before me swallows everything you’ve given me
I turn back to your look to find peace in your conception
I’m nothing without you, I’m hollow without you
I see in his eyes an insecurity, childishly submissive
I say foolish things I do foolish things for attention
I find in her look some kind of unfamiliar hardness
In her eyes I’m a cynic, an ever-conscious cynic
You’re my mirror
Everything I do I see through you
You’re my mirror
Me, in your eyes I hide
You’re my mirror
What you see is what you put in me
You’re my mirror
You’re my mirror…
It’s not as simple as that
It’s not as easy as you would want to think
I’m not as strong as I seem
Born to suck life from the pain that you cause me
So you’ve messed it up
Don’t know when to stop
Said more than enough
I’ve touched you where it hurts
And I know I’m not the first
But please don’t make it worse
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Use me
Look me in the eye
I’d love to see you smile
And I know how hard you try
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
In the morning
You’ll see a different side
In the morning
A softer light
In the morning
It will all look right
And you won’t have to hide
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Use me
You held the door
Looking over your shoulder
Face to the floor
It was already over
They took a good look at you
They knew that you couldn’t follow through
Just stood there and laughed at you
What could I do?
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that couldn’t be
I pulled at your dress
But you took no notice
You left me to guess
Your desperate motives
Left here as unfamiliar eyes
Held you and pushed me aside
Aching with blame I
Watched from inside
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that couldn’t be
The things that might have been
The things that should have been
It’s all I’d ever dream of
It’s all I’d ever hope to touch whenever I’d reach out
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that could have been
The things that might have been
The things that should have been
I need a room with a view
An armchair by the window
a cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Watch the sky turn from hazy gray to black
Watch my neighbours go to work
and look exhausted and burned out when they get back
Thinking about you
Thank God for this beautiful view
I recall you took me swimming
the sea was dark and cold
You’d been there many times before
with many different girls, I’d been told
But what’s a man without a past
We love him for his lies
and then we try to break him down to make it last
’til they come true
Thank God for this beautiful view
Beautiful view
You, you, you…
I still love you
The dark is falling and the city fills with lights
Cars like shining pearls on strings
moving through the emptiness of night
The wine is running to my head
I’m spellbound by the moment
can’t get up, can’t find the strength to go to bed
Without you
Thank God for this beautiful view
Beautiful view
You, you, you…
I still love you
I’ve been blind too blind to tell false from true
I’ve been so busy running
never stopped to think where I was running to
But I’ve learned my lesson from the tears I’ve had to cry Sometimes it helps to take your time
to sit alone and watch the world go by
Cause every day it’s new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Every day it’s new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Thank God for this beautiful view
One
One touch can fill a life of longing
Not much is so much more than nothing
Yeah – All you need is
One
An open smile to win you over
One single step will bring you closer
Yeah – All it takes is one
And when you’re running for cover
And you feel the sky falling down upon you
And when it feels like forever
Since you’ve seen the face of someone who loves you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
Is all that you need
All that you need to move you on
It’s all that you need
All you need is
One
One word to fill a room of silence
A hand to offer you some guidance
Yeah – All you need is
One
A moment long enough to notice
That everything’s stepped into focus
Yeah – All it takes is one
And when you’ve running from questions
And it seems like uncertainty controls you
And when you looking for answers
In the eyes of somebody who knows you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
All that you need
All that you need to move you on
Is all that you need
All that you need to get you home
All that you need
All you need is one
I’m beginning to see the signs
Calling for me from in between the lines
I’m beginning to wonder how long
Before I go under?
It’s a long goodbye
It’s a sea too deep to dive
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
’Cause I must pull through
I am falling in love again
With the sky up above and the warm summer wind
I am watching it change every day
Our worlds rearrange
But it’s a long goodbye
It’s a wall too high to climb
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
’Cause I must break through
I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
Just to get to you
But it’s a long goodbye
It’s a guard too strong to fight
It’s a long goodbye
It’s a sea too deep too dive…
