I was on the inside  
When they pulled the four walls down  
I was looking through the window  
I was lost, I am found

If you walk away, walk away  
I walk away, walk away, I will follow

</div>

I get the same old dreams, same time every night  
Fall to the ground and I wake up  
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head  
Thoughts fly back to the break-up  
These four walls are closing in  
Look at the fix you’ve put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone  
I’m outta my head, can’t take it  
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone  
You cast the spell, so break it

</div>

I know she told you,  
Honey I know she told you that she loved you  
Much more than I did,  
But all I know is that she left you,  
And you swear that you just don’t know why,  
But you know, honey I’ll always,  
I’ll always be around if you ever want me  
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,  
Oh honey, welcome back home.

That girl is flawless, and I know I’m not the first one to think that  
And since I’m not the first, I sure won’t be the last  
I’d spend my whole life looking behind my back  
I just don’t think I’m up to that

</div>

She’s unavoidable, I’m backed against the wall  
She gives me feelings like I never felt before  
I’m breaking promises, she’s breaking every law  
She used to look good to me, but now I find her  
Simply irresistible

You made me promises, promises  
You knew you’d never keep  
Promises, promises  
Why do I believe?

It’s exactly the same  
You said  
It’s always the same  
But I’ll make it change  
Into something the same  
I promise

A promise  
A promise  
A promise

Oh, promises, their kind of promises  
Can just destroy a life  
Oh, promises, those kind of promises  
Take all the joy from life  
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises  
Can lead to joy and hope and love, yes, love

Step one, you say, “We need to talk.”  
He walks, you say, “Sit down. It’s just a talk.”  
He smiles politely back at you  
You stare politely right on through  
Some sort of window to your right  
As he goes left and you stay right  
Between the lines of fear and blame  
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend  
Somewhere along in the bitterness  
And I would have stayed up with you all night  
Had I known how to save a life

</div>

What a friend you are  
If I had a golden star I’d pin it on you  
For seeing it through with me, with me

What a friend indeed  
Girl, they all but had me treed till you came along  
And you made me strong and free, and free

When I needed you, you were there  
Before I knew I needed you, you came through  
When the luck was bad  
When bad luck was all I had and no one cared  
You were there

What a special friend  
Just the kind who’ll never bend or break away  
You said you’d stay and here you are  
Here you are  
What a special friend you are!

Wonderful day, passing my way  
Knock on my door and even the score with your eyes…

Lovely to see you again my friend  
Walk along with me to the next bend

Dark cloud of fear is blowing away  
Now that you’re here, you’re going to stay, 'cause it’s

Lovely to see you again my friend  
Walk along with me to the next bend

</div>

I love you in a place  
Where there’s no space or time  
I love you for in my life  
You are a friend of mine  
And when my life is over  
Remember when we were together  
We were alone and  
I was singing this song for you

</div>

There ain’t no space and time  
To keep our love alive  
We have existence and it’s all we share  
There ain’t no real truth  
There ain’t no real lies  
Keep on pushin’ 'cause I know it’s there

Oh, can you just tell me  
It’s all right (It’s all right)  
Let me sleep tonight  
Oh, can you comfort me  
Tonight (It’s all right)  
Make it all seem fine

</div>

Tonight, tonight,  
Won’t be just any night,  
Tonight there will be no morning star.  
Tonight, tonight, I’ll see my love tonight.  
And for us, stars will stop where they are.  
Today  
The minutes seem like hours,  
The hours go so slowly,  
And still the sky is light . . .  
Oh moon, grow bright,  
And make this endless day endless night!

</div>

And oh! The towering feeling  
Just to know somehow you are near.  
The overpowering feeling  
That any second you may suddenly appear!  
People stop and stare. They don’t bother me.  
For there’s no where else on earth that I would rather be.  
Let the time go by, I won’t care if I  
Can be here on the street where you live.

</div>

The visions dancing in my mind  
The early dawn, the shades of time  
Twilight crawling through my windowpane  
Am I awake or do I dream?  
The strangest pictures I have seen  
Night is day and twilight’s gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies  
You came down to me from the open skies  
It’s either real or it’s a dream  
There’s nothing that is in between

[You gave me things I’ve never seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In9yq3oNqCg)  
You make my life a waking dream  
But we are dead

Falling like ashes to the floor  
Falling like ashes to the floor

Definitions are not my thoughts  
They are a myth  
Words are clumsy  
Language doesn’t fit

We know there’s no limit to our thoughts  
We know there’s no limit
