    Like Tears in Rain - Covenant
    Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights
    Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
    Stare into the sky, we're few and far between
    Black eyes full of stars, wide with memories

    Every street I ever walked
    Every home I ever had
    Is lost

    Every flower I ever held
    Every spring I ever had
    Has died

    Every man I ever knew
    Every woman I ever had
    Is gone

    Everything I ever touched
    Everything I ever had
    Has died

    Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
    Hear the children sing just a breath away
    Dance in the heavy air along the interstate
    Black lung full of fumes, choke on memories

    Every street I ever walked
    Every home I ever had
    Is lost

    Every flower I ever held
    Every spring I ever had
    Has died

    Every man I ever knew
    Every woman I ever had
    Is gone

    Everything I ever touched
    Everything I ever had
    Has died

    I'm so tired of playing,
    Playing with this bow and arrow,
    Gonna give my heart away,
    Leave it to the other girls to play,
    For I've been a temptress too long.

    Hmm just,
    Give me a reason to love you,
    Give me a reason to be,
    A woman,
    I just wanna be a woman.

    From this time, unchained,
    We’re all looking at a different picture,
    Through this new frame of mind,
    A thousand flowers could bloom,
    Move over, and give us some room.

    Yeah,
    Give me a reason to love you,
    Give me a reason to be,
    A woman,
    I just want to be a woman.

    So don't you stop, being a man,
    Just take a little look from our side when you can,
    Sow a little tenderness,
    No matter if you cry.

    Give me a reason to love you,
    Give me a reason to be,
    A woman,
    It's all I wanna be is all woman.

    For this is the beginning of forever and ever,
    It's time to move over ,
    So I want to be.

    I'm so tired of playing,
    Playing with this bow and arrow,
    Gonna give my heart away,
    Leave it to the other girls to play.
    For I've been a temptress too long.

    Hmm just,
    Give me a reason to love you.

    Hand in glove
    the sun shines out of our behinds
    No it's NOT like any other love
    this one's different
    because it's us!

    Hand in glove
    we can go wherever we please
    and everything depends upon
    how near you stand to me

    And if the people stare
    then, the people stare
    oh I really don't know
    and I really don't care

    Hand in glove
    the Good People laugh

    Yes, we may be hidden by rags
    but we have something they'll never have

    Hand in glove
    the sun shines out of our behinds

    Yes, we may be hidden by rags
    but we have something they'll never have

    And if the people stare
    then, the people stare
    oh I really don't know
    and I really don't care

    So hand in glove I stake my claim
    I'll fight to the last breath
    If they dare touch a hair on your head
    I'll fight to the last breath

    The good life is out there somewhere
    so stay on my arm, you little charmer

    But I know my luck too well
    yes, I know my luck too well
    and I'll probably never see you again
    I'll probably never see you again
    I'll probably never see you again

    1 2 1 2 3

    Yeah

    I was working part time in a five-and-dime
    My boss was Mr. McGee
    He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
    'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely

    Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
    But different than the day before
    That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
    She walked in through the out door, out door

    She wore a raspberry beret
    The kind U find in a second hand store
    Raspberry beret
    And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
    Raspberry beret
    I think I love her

    Built like she was
    She had the nerve 2 ask me
    If I planned 2 do her any harm
    So, look here
    I put her on the back of my bike
    And we went riding
    Down by old man Johnson's farm

    I said now, overcast days never turned me on
    But something about the clouds and her mixed
    She wasn't 2 bright
    But I could tell when she kissed me
    She knew how 2 get her kicks

    She wore a raspberry beret
    The kind U find in a second hand store
    Raspberry beret
    And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
    Raspberry beret
    I think I love her

    The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
    And the horses wonder who U are
    Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
    U feel like a movie star

    Listen
    They say the first time ain't the greatest
    But I tell ya
    If I had the chance 2 do it all again

    I wouldn't change a stroke
    'Cause baby I'm the most
    With a girl as fine as she was then


    (Raspberry beret)
    The kind U find (The kind U find)
    The kind U find (In a second hand store)
    Oh no no
    (Raspberry beret)
    (And if it was warm)
    Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more)
    Yeah (Raspberry beret)

    I think I... I think I... I think I love her

    (Raspberry beret)
    No No No
    No No No (The kind U find)
    (In a second hand store)
    (Raspberry beret)
    Tell me
    Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she)
    (Wouldn't wear much more)
    (Raspberry beret)
    I think I love…

    Prefering the Acoustic version...
    Hello
    I’ve waited here for you,
    Everlong
    Tonight
    I throw myself into
    And out of the red, out of her head she sang

    Come down
    And waste away with me
    Down with me
    Slow how
    You wanted it to be
    I’m over my head
    Out of her head she sang

    And I wonder
    When I sing along with you
    If everything could ever feel this real forever
    If anything could ever be this good again
    The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
    You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
    She sang

    Breathe out
    So I can breathe you in
    Hold you in
    And now
    I know you’ve always been
    Out of your head
    Out of my head I sang

    And I wonder
    When I sing along with you
    If everything could ever feel this real forever
    If anything could ever be this good again
    The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
    You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when
    She sang

    And I wonder...
    When I sing along with you....
    If everything could ever feel this real forever
    If anything could ever be this good again
    The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
    You’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when

    The grey ceiling on the earth
    Well it's lasted for a while
    Take my thoughts for what they're worth
    I've been acting like a child
    In your opinion, and what is that?
    It's just a different point of view

    What else can I do?
    I said I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry.
    I said I'm sorry ,but what for?
    If I hurt you then I hate myself
    Don't want to hate myself, don't want to hurt you
    Why do you choose your pain?
    If you only knew how much I love you, love you

    I won't be your winter
    I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
    We can be forgiven
    I will be here

    The old picture on the shelf
    Well it's been there for a while
    A frozen image of ourselves
    We are acting like a child
    Innocent and in a trance
    A dance that lasted for a while

    You read my eyes just like your diary,
    oh remember, please remember
    Well, I'm not a beggar, but what's more
    If I hurt you, then I hate myself,
    And I don't wanna hate myself, don't wanna hurt you
    Why do you choose your pain?
    If you only knew how much I love you

    No
    I won't be your winter
    I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
    We can be forgiven
    I will be here

    No
    I won't be your winter
    I won't
    I won't be anyone's excuse to cry
    We can be forgiven
    I will be here

    A simple proposition
    A simple night of passion
    Tell me I'm not crazy
    Talk me down, give me ration.

    Intuition is a home
    Dusty with neglect
    No longer is it clear for me
    Whatever is correct.

    A harmless fixation
    Pachabel's consumption
    A dinner bell clatter
    Two for tea for two for luncheon.

    Unrequited love
    Is a plate left untouched
    Even when the belly's empty
    Got a belly full of lust.

    Phasing everyday
    Like the moon trying to stay
    Like emotion running wild
    Trying to keep in one place.

    Jealousy and rage
    Serenity and grace
    Throwing switches in my mind
    With the message on my face.

    Burning up like a comet
    A starry street rocket
    Like an animal in heat
    With my heart in my pocket.

    Mister, could you spare a dime?
    A nickel or a dollar?
    All I have is what you wouldn't want
    And I would holler.

    Chase it down
    Or give it up
    And roll the dice
    And try your luck
    But if you do
    Remember this:
    There's no such thing
    As an innocent kiss.

    Overstuffed imagination
    In perpetual motion
    Spewing red dust sangria
    'Cause my heart is on the ocean.

    Out to sea without an anchor
    Professor or the skipper
    Just me and Mary Anne
    Trying to fit the glass slipper.

    But lurking in the corner
    Staring back in the mirror
    Is the boogey man
    Waiting there with everything I fear.

    Pick me up while I'm down
    Just to put me down again
    Just a glimmer of a glimpse
    Of what it feels like to win.

    A simple proposition
    A single night of passion
    Tell me I'm not crazy
    Talk me down, give me ration.

    Intuition is a home
    Dusty with neglect
    No longer is it clear for me
    Whatever is correct.

    Chasing out an apparition
    Shake my head, clear my vision
    Bring it all back down to Earth
    With a clear cut decision.

    Take a breather, get some rest
    If it isn't do or die
    A fantasy will do if reality is shy
    A fantasy will do if reality is shy
    A fantasy will do if reality is shy.

    Chase it down
    Or give it up
    Roll the dice
    And try your luck
    But if you do
    Remember this:
    There's no such thing
    As an innocent kiss.

    Chase it down
    Or give it up
    Roll the dice
    And try your luck
    But if you do
    Remember this:
    There's no such thing
    As an innocent kiss.

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
    Moonlight spills on comic books
    And superstars in magazines
    An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
    Her plane takes off from Baltimore
    And touches down on Bourbon Street

    We sit outside and argue all night long
    About a god we've never seen
    But never fails to side with me
    Sunday comes and all the papers say
    Ma Teresa's joined the mob
    And happy with her full time job

    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met
    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
    Does summer come for everyone?
    Can humans do as prophets say?
    And if I die before I learn to speak
    Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
    But half asleep?

    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do

    A life is time, they teach us growing up
    The seconds ticking killed us all
    A million years before the fall
    You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
    You swim like lions through the crest
    And bathe yourself on zebra flesh

    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do

    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do
    Do do do do doo do do

    I've been downhearted lately,
    I've been downhearted lately,
    Ever since the day we met

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    I've been downhearted baby,
    I've been down
    I've been downhearted baby,
    Ever since the day we met
    Ever since the day we met

    GUARDING YOURSELF FROM THE LOVE OF ANOTHER
    LEFT YOU WITH NOTHING TONIGHT
    WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE DEVIL IS LAUGHING,
    LEAVING ME HAUNTED TONIGHT
    YOU DID DECIDE

    NOW I WANT YOU, WHEN YOUR'E GONE, AND NOW IT'S LIKE
    YOUR'E HOLDING SOMETHING JUST IN FRONT OF ME
    WELL THEN, I CAN'T ALLOW THIS TO BECOME ANOTHER
    ONE OF THOSE TIMES THAT I'M LEFT IN THE COLD, DEAD
    THERE'S NO COMPROMISE
    JUST ANOTHER TIE,
    I KNOW I NEED TO SEVER

    GUARDING YOURSELF FROM THE LOVE OF ANOTHER
    LEFT YOU WITH NOTHING TONIGHT
    WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE DEVIL IS LAUGHING,
    LEAVING ME HAUNTED TONIGHT
    YOU DID DECIDE

    EVER HAUNTED, BY THE TRAPPINGS OF THIS LIFE
    SWEET REDEMTION, JUST IN FRONT OF ME
    WELL NOW, IT SEEMS ONCE AGAIN THAT I'VE LOST ANOTHER
    ONE OF THE ONE'S THAT HAVE BROKE THROUGH THE WALL
    DAMNED
    FATE WON'T COMPROMISE
    I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL,
    AND NOW THE DEVIL'S LAUGHING
    YOU DID DECIDE

    YOU WERE BOLD AND STRONG, AND READY TO BEGIN YOUR LIFE
    ALL FOR NOTHING, YOU WERE SACRIFICED
    YOU BEGAN ALONE, AND SO IT WILL BE WHEN YOU DIE
    ALL FOR NOTHING, WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED?
    YOU DID DECIDE

    GUARDING YOURSELF FROM THE LOVE OF ANOTHER
    LEFT YOU WITH NOTHING TONIGHT
    SO NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE DEVIL IS LAUGHING
    HE LEFT YOU WITH NOTHING TONIGHT
    YOU DID DECIDE

    You walk on like a woman in suffering
    Won't even bother now, to tell me why
    You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment
    Leaving me broken, another time
    You come on like a blood staind hurricane
    Leave me alone, let me be this time
    You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption
    I don't want to mention, the reason I know

    That I am stricken and can't let you go
    When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
    That I am crippled by all that you've done
    Into the abyss, will I run

    You don't know what your power has done to me
    I want to know if I'll heal inside
    I can't go on, with a holocaust about to happen
    Seeing you laughing, another time
    You'll never know how your face has haunted me
    My very soul has to bleed this time
    Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses
    Leaving me breathless, the reason I know

    That I am stricken and can't let you go
    When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know
    That I am crippled by all that you've done
    Into the abyss, will I run
    Into the abyss, will I run

    You walk on like a woman in suffering
    Won't even bother now, to tell me why
    You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment

    When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know

    Into the abyss, will I run

    I can't let you go
    Yes I am stricken and can't let you go

    Come and I’ll take you under
    This beautiful bruise’s colours
    Everything fades in time it’s true
    Wish that I had another
    Stab at the undercover
    Was it a change in mind for you?

    It’s impossible
    I can’t let it out
    You’ll never know
    Am I selling you out?
    Sit and watch your every mood
    Mood

    Your eyes still remind me of
    Angels that hover above
    Eyes that can change from blind to blue

    It’s impossible
    I can’t let it out
    You’ll never know
    Am I selling you out?
    Sit and watch your every mood
    Mood
    Mood
    Mood

    Now that I’ve found my reward
    I’d throw it away long before
    I’d share a piece of mine with you

    It’s impossible
    I can’t let it out
    You’ll never know
    Am I selling you out?
    Sit and watch your every mood

    she said "i've gotta be honest,
    you're wasting your time if you're fishing round here."
    and i said "you must be mistaken,
    i'm not fooling...this feeling is real"
    she said "you gotta be crazy,
    What do you take me for? Some kind of easy mark?
    You've got wits, you've got looks,
    you've got passion, but I swear that you've got me all wrong."

    all wrong.
    all wrong.
    but you got me...

    i'll be true, i'll be useful...
    i'll be your cavalier...i'll be yours my dear.
    and i'll belong to you...
    if you'll just let me through.
    this is easy as lovers go,
    so don't complicate it by hesitating.
    and this is wonderful as loving goes,
    this is tailor-made, whats the sense in waiting?

    and i said "i've gotta be honest
    i've been waiting for you all my life.
    for so long i thought i was asylum bound,
    but just seeing you makes me think twice.
    and being with you here makes me sane,
    i fear i'll go crazy if you leave my side.
    you've got wits...you've got looks,
    you've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?

    tonight.
    tonight.
    but you've got me...

    She want me ...No

    Ra A Ra A Ra A Ra A Ra A Ra A Ra Ra A Ra

    Your mind won't let you say that you want me
    Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
    You howl and wail like a banshee
    Still your mind won't ever let you say
    Your mind won't let you say that you want me
    Your mind won't ever, never let you say what you want
    My little tired devotee
    Your mind won't even let you feel

    Quivering now, shivering now, withering
    Your mind won't let you say that you're
    Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
    WOn't let you say that you're
    Questioning, wavering, weakening
    You mind won't let you say that you're
    Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
    Won't let you say that you want

    Your mind won't let you say that you want me
    Your mind won't ever, never let you have what you want
    I feel your hunger to taste me
    Still your mind won't ever let you say
    Your kind is just the type that should use me
    But your mind won't seem to let you have
    The opportunity to abuse me,abuse me
    Your mind won't even let you feel

    Quivering now, shivering now, withering
    Your mind won't let you say that you're
    Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
    WOn't let you say that you're
    Questioning, wavering, weakening
    You mind won't let you say that you're
    Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
    Won't let you say that you want

    Me..

    Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
    Savor me
    Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
    Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
    Savor me
    Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
    Savor me

    Your mind won't let you say that you want me
    Your mind won't let you say that you want me
    Your mind won't let you say that you want me

    Because your mind won't let you say that you want me ,you want me
    your mind won't let you say that you want me ,you want me
    won't let you say that you want me ,you want me
    What do you want
    What do you want
    What do you want
    What do you want

    GETT OFF
    How can I put this in a way so as not 2 offend or unnerve?
    But there's a rumor goin' all around that U ain't been gettin'
    served
    They say that U ain't "U know what" in, baby, who knows how long
    It's hard 4 me 2 say what's right when all I wanna do is wrong

    CHORUS:
    Gett off - 23 positions in a one night stand
    Gett off - I'll only call U after if U say I can
    Gett off - Let a woman be a woman and a man be a man
    Gett off - If U want 2, baby, here I am

    (Here I am)

    I clocked the jizz from a friend of yours named Vanessa Bet
    (Bet)
    She said U told her a fantasy that got her all wet (Wet)
    Something about a little box with a mirror and a tongue inside
    (Yeah)
    What she told me then got me so hot, I knew that we could slide
    (Ooh)

    CHORUS
    (Come on)

    Gett off {x2}
    1 2 3
    Naw, little cutie, I ain't drinkin'
    But scope this, I was just thinkin'
    U + me, what a ride
    If U was thinkin' the same, we could continue outside
    Lay your pretty body against the parkin' meter
    Strip your dress down like I was strippin' a Peter Paul's Almond
    Joy
    Lemme show U, baby, I'm a talented boy

    (Oh yeah)
    Club mix
    Everybody grab a body
    Pump it like U want somebody
    Gett off

    Everything about U just screams of a real sexy affair (Ooh yeah)
    The nasty way U walk, the way U flip your hair (U know it,
    poppa)
    Babygirl, I'm all veins when I'm scopin' that body rare (Oh,
    stop it)
    Betcha I'ma pack a lunch and spend a while there, ohh

    CHORUS
    (Can we?)

    I'm gonna kiss in U front of everybody, I don't care
    That's right, I pulled your dress up
    Shit, U ain't got no underwear on
    I shoulda known, I shoulda known
    Butterscotch curly hair, I wish U had some drawers on now
    Stone freak 2 the bone
    I can't believe it, we're going home

    Everybody grab a body, pump it like U want somebody {x2}

    So here we, so here we
    So here we are, here we are in my paisley crib
    What cha want 2 eat? (Ribs!)
    Naw Toy, I don't serve ribs
    U better be happy that dress is still on
    I heard the rip when U sat down
    Honey, them hips is gone
    But that's alright, I clock 'em that way
    Remind me of somethin' James used 2 say
    "I like 'em fat, I like 'em proud
    U got 2 have a mother 4 me"
    Now move your big ass 'round this way
    So I can work on that zipper, baby
    2night U're a star and I'm the Big Dipper
    Na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na

    Everybody grab a body, pump it like U want somebody
    (Gett off)
    (Gett off)
    Ooh, I think I like it with the dress half on
    I'll zip it far enough 2 see the crack'o'dawn
    Don't worry about the bust, I'm gonna lock up every door
    Then we can do it in the kitchen on the floor
    Or in the bathroom standing on the tub and holding on the rod
    U're in the closet underneath the clothes and...oh my God!
    In the bedroom on the dresser with your feet on the drawers
    In the pantry on the shelf, I guaranteed U won't be bored
    The pool table, yeah, move the sticks
    And put the 8-ball where it's sure 2 stick
    Dudley do no wrong 2night if Nell just let him kick it

    (Kick it)
    (Kick it)
    (Kick it)
    How can I put this in a way so as not 2 offend or unnerve?
    But there's a rumor goin' all around that U ain't been gettin'

    Well, it looks like they’re running on time
    And you can taste in my tears that I love you
    So kiss me again and then tell me goodbye
    Cause airports ain’t nothing but places you cry
    They ain’t nothing but places to cry

    And this bartender is selling a lie
    That all of these travelers are buying
    Cause everyone’s looking for something to find
    But bars, they ain’t nothing but places you hide
    They ain’t nothing but places to hide

    Places do nothing but take me away from your side
    Now I’m stuck in this airport and trying to get back
    To the place that you helped me to find
    Cause airports are places
    I am when I am not by your side

    This city is covered in lights
    And everyone’s out for the evening
    But no one here cares if you’re dead or alive
    I guess cities ain’t nothing but places to fly
    They ain’t nothing but places to fly

    Places do nothing but take me away from your side
    Now I am stuck in this city and trying to get back
    To the place that you helped me to find
    Cause cities are places I am when I am not by your side
    Yeah, places are places I am when I am not where you are

    Well I dreamt that I held you tonight
    We made love in an ocean of color
    But when I awoke, you were no where in sight
    I guess dreams they ain’t nothing but places inside
    They ain’t nothing but places inside

    And places do nothing but take me from your side
    And all that I want is to try and get back
    To the place that you helped me to find
    And back to the place that I belong
    Which is right by your side

    One Saturday I took a walk to Zipperhead
    I met a girl there and she almost knocked me dead

    Punk rock girl
    Please look at me
    Punk rock girl
    What do you see?
    Let's travel round the world
    Just you and me punk rock girl

    I tapped her on the shoulder
    And said do you have a beau?
    She looked at me and smiled and said she did not know

    Punk rock girl
    Give me a chance
    Punk rock girl
    Let's go slam dance
    We'll dress like Minnie Pearl
    Just you and me punk rock girl

    We went to the Philly Pizza Company
    And ordered some hot tea
    The waitress said well no, we only have it iced
    So we jumped up on the table and shouted anarchy
    And someone played a Beach Boys song on the jukebox
    It was "California Dreamin"
    So we started screamin
    On such a winter's day

    She took me to her parents for a Sunday meal
    Her father took one look at me and he began to squeal

    Punk rock girl
    It makes no sense
    Punk rock girl
    Your dad is the vice president
    Rich as the Duke of Earl
    Yeah you're for me punk rock girl

    We went to a shopping mall
    And laughed at all the shoppers
    And security guards trailed us to a record shop
    We asked for Mojo Nixon
    They said he don't work here
    We said if you don't got Mojo Nixon then your store could use some fixin'

    We got into her car away we started rollin'
    I said how much you pay for this
    She Said nothin man it's stolen

    Punk rock girl
    You look so wild
    Let's have a child
    We'll name her Minnie Pearl
    Just you and me
    Eat fudge banana swirl
    Just you and me
    We'll travel round the world
    Just you and me
    Punk rock girl

    I could never take the place of your man. <+)O
    It was only last June when her old man ran away
    She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
    It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night
    She was standin' by the bar
    Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah
    I asked if she wanted 2 dance
    And she said all she wanted was a good man
    And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah
    And I said, baby don't waste your time
    I know what's on your mind
    I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
    But I could never take the place of your man

    It hurt me so bad when she told me
    with tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)
    He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die
    He left her with a baby and another one on the way
    She couldn't stop cryin'
    Cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
    She asked me if we could be friends
    And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end
    U know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied

    And I said, baby don't waste your time
    I know what's on your mind
    U wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
    And I could never take the place of your man

    Yeah, yeah, the place of your man

    Restless tonight
    Cause I wasted the light
    Between both these times
    I drew a really thin line
    It’s nothing I planned
    And not that I can
    But you should be mine
    Across that line

    If I traded it all
    If I gave it all away for one thing
    Just for one thing
    If I sorted it out
    If I knew all about this one thing
    Wouldn’t that be something

    I promise I might
    Not walk on by
    Maybe next time
    But not this time

    Even though I know
    I don’t want to know
    Yeah I guess I know
    I just hate how it sounds

    If I traded it all

    Pick me up
    been bleeding too long
    Right here, right now
    I'll stop it some how

    I will make it go away
    can't be here no more
    Seems this is the only way
    I will soon be gone
    these feelings will be gone
    these feelings will be gone

    Now I see the times they change
    leaving doesn't seems so strange
    I am hoping I can find
    where to leave my hurt behind
    All this shit I seem to take
    all alone I seem to break
    I have lived the best I can
    Does this make me not a man?

    Shut me off
    I am ready,
    Heart stops
    I stand alone
    Can't be on my own

    I will make it go away
    can't be here no more

    Am I going to leave this place?
    What is it I'm running from?
    is there nothing more to come? (am I Gunna leave this place?)
    Is it always black in space?
    Am I going to take it's place?
    Am I going to leave this race? (Am I going to leave this race?)
    I guess god's up in this place?
    what is it that I've become?
    is there something more to come? (more to come)
