It won’t be long, three blocks further and up on the second floor down the hall and around the corner she’s waiting by the door toss the keys onto the table she takes off my winter coat leads me on inside the bedroom we fall onto the floor It’s the beginning of the show hops to her feet, moves so sweetly silencing the flames under the sheets, slips in to meet me we start to drift away Closing the curtains, here we go

If I had a nickel for all of the times You have gone your way and I have gone mine I’d be a rich man and then you would see There’s never been something between you and me Our parents and friends said we fit like a glove We got along fine with the idea of love But my mind has grown weary, I’m down on my knees Searching for something between you and me I’ve got no regrets or gifts to return But there’s one thing from being with you that I learned We’ve all got that someone with something we need But there’s never been something between you and me We gave it our all, we had some good times Ate tacos at midnight while we were both high Hopped gates and swam naked in the heat of July Nobody can tell us that we didn’t try I’ve got no regrets or gifts to return But there’s one thing from being with you that I learned We’ve all got that someone with something we need But there’s never been something between you and me So goodbye for now, though its hard to believe Someday we’ll laugh and remember when we couldn’t see That things weren’t working between you and me Like the old pickup truck at the end of our street That just sits there rusting in old memories I’m tired of rusting in old memories Cause we’ve all got that someone with something we need But there’s never been something between you and me No there’s never been something between you and me

Got the gloves on, still laced up One eye open, one eye shut Lift my body off the ropes Bricks are feathers to my bones At times like these Got the kicks on, still laced up With time running against me the race is already won But I’ll be jumping the hurdles, tracing the track Running circles to get back inside the place That puts a smile on my face At times like these with you my love It’s alright to be confused and young Don’t feel the need to fight it off At times like these Deal the hand out, ante up Laid down a low pair, well its just my luck When the winning and losing starts feeling the same Wouldn’t it be nice to stay inside the place That puts a smile on my face At times like these with you my love It’s alright to be confused and young Don’t feel the need to fight it off At times like these

Cast by a shadow on a wall near the window, there you are lost at the days end, I crash like a wave and there you are The voice of an angel, constantly faithful, calls and calls Living mostly alone now, learning how to be on our own How to be on our own, all alone Learning how to be on our own Become like one Two weeks to go now, feels like it’s been a day or a year What a funny thing time is, when you want it to move it won’t How to be on our own, all alone When you want it to move it won’t Become like one Learning how to be on our own Looking through the rain and I can see the sun You’re living far away but I can feel your love It’s easy baby, we become like one We become the clouds up in the sky We become the ocean deep wide It’s easy baby, we become like one
5.
I never expected to wake up alone In a brand new apartment instead of our home I never expected to stay up every night Feeling empty without you in my life You know I felt foolish, I was scared To call up and beg you, to show you I cared This time I’ll be honest, won’t keep anything inside You know I’ll be there, when you need someone close by But you don’t need me You don’t need me We were more than just lovers, we were water and wine Put our faith in eachother through troubles and trials It was not my intention, to push all that aside And keep on hurting you until you realized That you don’t need me You don’t need me

There’s always something keeping people pointing fingers at the reasons that their dreams are falling through Don’t be defeated by the fear of never reaching where you think these crooked roads are leading to Days and days go by as the hamster wheel inside your mind is spinning out the useless kinds of thoughts Trust your innocence, relax and act with confidence You’ve been knocked down, gotta get back up and walk Get back up and walk these crooked roads that twist along You’ve been knocked down and it ain’t nobody’s fault Get back up and walk on through the springs and all the falls You’ve gotta get back up and walk Look for innocence in prostitutes, in presidents In the pages of the news and pillow talk Learn from accidents, these scrapes and bruises bend but never broke your backbone, gotta get back up and walk Get back up and walk these crooked roads that twist along You’ve been knocked down and it ain’t nobody’s fault Get back up and walk on through the springs and all the falls You’ve gotta get back up and walk Sometimes it’s hard to be alone It starts when you stand to stumble though the sticks and stones
