If you could tell me how I can live again Send a signal my way now and then You could write directions on a little note Cuz baby I can’t seem to crack the code Maybe you could look the other way Let me off the hook this time It’s just a petty crime Come on and let it go You got that look i guess I am dead again Your laser eyes will cut me wide open But you’re not mad or so you are sayin Leave me guessing what is the feeling Maybe you could look the other way Let me off the hook this time It’s just a petty crime Come on and let it go

She came in from the cold And she took off her coat There was no heat on in the room But suddenly it was 90 degrees Now she’s taking off her shoes And her dress will come next And I’d like to caress her In all the right ways And please her like she’d never believe This could be love This could be a crazy kind of love This could be love This could be a crazy kind of love Maybe this could work out just fine Maybe she could stop losing her mind I looked around the room It was quiet and still Her once loud voice only an echo now And good lord I remember how She would hold me in the glow We’d talk hushed and low But all of that is gone now It hangs in the darkness over me like a cloud This could be love This could be a crazy kind of love This could be love This could be a crazy kind of love Maybe we’ll have each other for eternity Something enduring beyond any tragedy

I didn’t know I liked you so much I didn’t know I didn’t know you had a touch I didn’t know Now I know what this feeling’s like Now I know Now I know what this feeling’s like It’s what they say You’ll know when you know It’s what they say It’s what they say She’ll come your way It’s what they say Now I know what that feeling’s like Now I know Now I know what that feeling’s like Now I know I didn’t know I liked you so much I didn’t know I didn’t know you had a touch I didn’t know Now I know what this feeling’s like Now I know Now I know what this feeling’s like

It used to be so easy when did it get so hard When did it all start to fall apart? Oh... Lost and I can’t find my way back You are in my head in a maze I can’t escape It used to be so easy when did it get so hard When did it all start to fall apart? When will this end. This ache without a cure. I walk in a daze and I know I'll never be the same When you come back this way I will have moved on That’s what my friends say they tell me to be strong But I’m so weak you kept me afloat I’m out in the ocean with no boat or hope If I look back now I’ll lose the thread Stuck in a rut with no movement ahead I can’t find the map the compass is broke Life without you is a punchline no joke It used to be so easy when did it get so hard When did it all start to fall apart?

I saw you last night in a dream I hadn’t seen your face for so long All the pictures are put away I don’t even know where the boxes are In a place where I can’t get them at all On a too tall ladder that I might take a fall All I got was this t shirt Saying don’t look back I finally got to the memory box Opened up the ziplock bags Turned each photo over in my hand Days and dates and years like sand It’s all there and then it fades to black I have one souvenir that I always pack All I got was this t shirt Saying don’t look back

I can’t live with myself Wish I were somewhere else And I know that it sounds crazy I don't know what to do How can I go on without you I can’t be by myself Don’t trust me by myself And I know what it sounds like But I know it’s true How can I go on without you I can’t breathe with myself I’m alone by myself And I know that it sounds crazy I don’t know what to do All the air is gone when I’m without you I can’t live with myself

I’m up all night Can’t sleep at all And every tick of the clock on the wall Has got me crawling in my skin Head in a spin Can’t find the pill To make it stop My mind is in adrenaline overdrive Don’t know if I will make it out alive Barely holding on to just make it tonight I wanna go go go go away from it all If there’s one thing that I know deep inside It’s that I’m manic bipolar on the edge of a knife Yeah my eyes are dilated all of the time can’t you see? You better know the reason why It’s been a day It’s been a week But if I’m honestly honest it’s been several months Pressure from it all has been adding up There’s too much stress i’m gonna blow There’s a killer trigger that’s been messing me up And I can feel the break coming on it won't stop Deconstructing my emotions way too much Gonna find myself institutionalized If there’s one thing that I know deep inside It’s that I’m manic bipolar on the edge of a knife Yeah my eyes are wide open all of the time can’t you see? You better know the reason why

In a roundabout way You’ve been on my mind I would do anything give me a sign Will this be the day You name a price I would give anything throw me a line In a roundabout way… you are mine In the back of my head You’ve been on my mind I will do anything Just give me time In a roundabout way We talk for hours Long into the night You give me everything I’m filled with delight

If you could start Start it all again Would you change Any answers on your page Here or there Erase the marks Kiss the cuts Heal the scars All the parts of me have wandered All through time Finally found your face and I am finally fine Ohh, it’s our time. Down here, it’s our time. Ohh, it’s our time. Down here - it’s our only time. If you could stop Pause the clock Freeze the frame Lock it up What’s the still That you see All I want Is you and me All I am is energy in space and time I am here with you and I am finally fine Ohh, it’s our time. Down here, it’s our time. Ohh, it’s our time. Down here - it’s our only time.
