"I Will"

"I Will"



Who wouldn’t do anything
That you want them to
Carry the world right to your feet
If that’s what you want me to do
Didn’t we laugh
And scream and should
Didn’t we wait
Til it all worked out

I know it’s late
And I should wait until the morning comes
But I got a fear that wakes me up
And I don’t know where the fear comes from

Didn’t I bring you
What I could bring
Didn’t I tell you
Everything
Well I will
Well I will

Some people talk about us
Said we’d never get this far
Let it all rain around us
You know the way things are

Fifteen miles from hope
Another town another week goes by
I’m fading away here like the birds
That disappear into the sky

Wouldn’t I be there
When you call
I pick you up
When you start to fall

Well I will
Well I will
Well I will
Well I will

"In My Bones"

"In My Bones"



You make me want to laugh
You make me want to cry
Make me wake up late at night and wonder why
You wash over me like waves over stones
You're in my bones

You make me want to get up
And be a better man
Make me want to weigh myself against my plans
You were born to me like kings to their thrones
You're in my bones

You can be what you want to be
I don't mind
If there's a season for all things
I hope that's what we'll find
But when it's time for you to go
Don't you worry
Don't look behind

You can be what you want to be
I don't mind
If there's a season for all things
I hope that's what we'll find
But when it's time for you to go
Don't you worry
Don't look behind

Every time you walk out
You take a part of me
A part I hide so deep inside so no one sees
The beauty that nobody owns
You're in my bones
You walk with me wherever I'm going
You're in my bones

"Is It You"

"Is It You"



Is it you
I wonder
and still it makes me laugh
is it you
that I'm looking for
don't turn away so fast
and while you were talking
wide-eyed I fell asleep
hoping tomorrow would be
as sweet
Is it you
who whispered
into my hazy soul
is it you
who makes the flowers bloom
on the tenement windowsill
in a hotel room
a TV glows
and songs are exchanged
drunkenly chasing the ghost
of eternity
There's a drunk on the sidewalk
trying to look unconcerned
and the dead eyed motel blondes
wait in line for their turn
Is it you
who laughs
when all the other dogs snarl
is it you
just because you listened for a while
and with this buzz of electricity
still ringing in my ears
I wonder
is it you
I wonder
is it you

"It Could Happen To You"

"It Could Happen To You"



They broke off the locks and they opened the doors
Pushed out the windows and painted the floors
Grew a little garden outside in the rust and sand
Raised up the roof 'till it touched the sky
Picked up the pieces that were left to die
Brought this building back with a healing hand

When you see trouble
You're bound to move in on the double
'Cause you leave your mark upon everything
In your head those Liberty Bells still ring
But we know that you don't even mean a thing you say

So you brought in the army to do your job
Of kicking in doors and swinging their clubs
Back in the morning to watch
Themselves on the news
You're doing the bidding of the money man
If it turns out right they'll call you 'friend'
One little favor how could you really refuse

Oh my heart is sinking
Same old useless, worn out thinking
You live your life in the court of kings
Bow to the ruler and kiss the ring
But we don't even understand a thing you say

It could happen to you...
It could happen to you...
It could happen to you
Sometime when you least expect it
Done by the ones that you never suspected
All your bills come due
It could happen to you

You really got to wonder what you did for
Cause you don't need an army
to move out the poor
You brought it out once
I know you could bring it again

Well, Oh my heart is sinking
The same old useless, worn out thinking
You live your life in the court of kings
Count your money as the raven sings
Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings
But all your riches won't mean a thing someday

Oh, It could happen to you
Oh, It could happen to you
Oh, It could happen to you
Oh, It could happen to you

"It Makes Me Wonder"

"It Makes Me Wonder"



Call me a liar
A coward and a cheat
And in my defense
What case could I possibly make
And how could I deny
A heart so tender and sweet
How could I betray
A love so complete

Well it's hard to explain
The troubles that I've made
Lucky is the man
Who learns from his mistakes

There is little left
For the man who hesitates
And tell me what is gained
By those who always take
So here's what's left of my heart
Yeah it's all torn apart
You say your hands are tied
And it's time to say goodbye

Still it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice

I can't stand the sight of my own reflection
I just don't like what I see
All I ever hear you saying to me
Is that I'm not the man that I used to be So take the veil from your eyes
This is who I've always been
I know it's not a pretty sight
Yeah I tried but I failed

Still it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice

"Joker's Wild"

"Joker's Wild"



You're feeling over the hill
Chasin' powder and pills
But you don't mind the taste
Of the slow burnin' waste
Until you feel like trash
Ya might as well have a gas
Until you feel like trash
Ya might as well have a blast

Deep down in your heart
Well, you know you can't hide
Still you know what you're runnin' from
Better than I
And when they ask you why
You say the joker is wild
And when they ask you why

You say the joker is wild...

When your skin starts to crawl
And your fingers twitch
And your veins are screaming
For some kinda fix
Well, they ask you why
You say the joker's wild

If there was only a way
To make you understand
That the game that you're playing
Has gotten out of hand
And when they ask you why
You say the joker is wild
And when they ask you why

You say the joker is wild...

"Know Where You Go"

"Know Where You Go"



Nothing can compare
To how I feel
When I'm by your side
And nothing can compare
To the world
I see in your eyes
Cause I
Know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
Yea I
Know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
You fill my head
With colours
Of wonder and delight
You move across my mind
Like the dance
Of the northern lights
Cause I
Know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
Yea I
Know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there

"Know Where You Go / Tell Me Your Dream"

"Know Where You Go / Tell Me Your Dream"



Nothing can compare
To how I feel
When I'm by your side
And nothing can compare
To the world
I see in your eyes

'Cause I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
Yea I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there

You fill my head
With colours
Of wonder and delight
You move across my mind
Like the dance
Of the Northern Lights

'Cause I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there
Yea I know where you go
Love how you know
How to take me there

As we sat in front of that August moon
You said the clouds they look like angel wings
Sometimes I wonder if you can read my mind
'Cause I was thinking the very same thing

When I'm with you all the stars shine through
My heart opens up like a morning flower
You know I'd leave it all behind
'Cause my only peace of mind
Is when I'm here with you

So tell me your dream
Lay your head on my pillow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow

"Last Laugh"

"Last Laugh"



I should have seen through it but you were so intent
the nervous breakdown on an overworked bed
you couldn't wait to get over the edge

you were drunk on the silver
when he took your crown
he took from you everything that wasn't tied down
well you said he was an angel
with the chains of gold
too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

the clock of world is just a dream
still I shouldn't be jealous of the ones who lay flowers at your feet
yeah my desire has finally put you out of reach

you were drunk on the silver
when he took your crown
he took from you everything that wasn't tied down
well you said he was an angel
with the chains of gold
too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

now all your saviours wait their turn in line
while you sit in the corner
and drink yourself blind

the last laugh has finally been had
but it's not what you think
the last laugh has finally been had
and it don't taste so sweet

now you're finally on your own
last thing he said to you was see you around

you were drunk on the silver
you were drunk on the silver
you were drunk on the silver
now you're going to leave me with the last laugh

"Last To Know"

"Last To Know"



What took so long to build
took a moment to slip away
you could barely hide
the satisfaction on your face
Time takes another day
changes you in subtle ways
lifts you up then slowly lets you go
Sitting there across the room
your smile looks like a threat
I'm living underneath the heel
of what you might do next
Memory works in strange ways
cuts you down makes you pay
one day you'll be walking fine
the next day lightning hits you from behind
One heart one love
two people who can't rise above
each time we fall
don't know what I was thinking of
don't say it's so
don't say it's so
let me be the last to know
Seems we move backward now
the further on we walk
hard to find a single line
through all our double talk
Home late and drunk again
close the door shut out the rain
one more day no damage done
but my spirits falling sinking
like the sun
One heart one love
two people who can't rise above
each time we fall
don't know what I was thinking of
don't say it's so
don't say it's so
let me be the last to know
I'm standing at your doorway
I can hear your voice inside
you're telling all your friends
what you're gonna say to me tonight
write me a better part
find the words to break your heart
keep you on your knees forever
funny how my tongue gets tied together
One heart one love
two people who can't rise above
each time we fall
don't know what I could be dreaming of
don't say it's so
don't say it's so
let me be the last to know
