I keep on looking where you were sleeping. I see the imprint of your body on the sheet. I keep on hiding, thinking you've found me. I give you nothing and you give me borrowed time.
I was 23 and living in the city. I met a long-legged blonde on friday night. It was a head on collision of passion. We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night.
I wait by my pillow for your footsteps. Echoing up to my door. Afraid that you'll think I'll be waiting. I get up and I lock the door. I get up and I lock the door.
Just an out of tune song for an out of tune day. I got home from work and I'm not good for anything. I guess I'll have a beer and play it anyway. Just an ordinary guy with a tangled up life.
Maybe we don't belong together. I won't tell if you won't worry. There's time enough for time to tell. What's going on - I'm in no hurry. Don't look now, the sun is creeping.
I was born too late to play in the rolling stones. I don't know jimmy page, I never met yoko ono. Standing with a strat, I'm rock and roll's bastard son.
All I really want to do. Is tear these walls out of me and you. We're trapped inside these movie roles. Let's start living with a little more soul. Throw your coat upon the grass.
She paints her room in polkadots. How does she get to sleep?. And if I never see for myself. Me and my new guitar are alright. Me and my new guitar are alright.
Theres other girls, and then theres you. And then theres me trapped between and wondering what to do. You push me away, but I wont go. And Im not sure which one of us to blame anymore.
Shiver me timbers, blow me away in a dead mans hat. Scatter my bones in a Singapore alleyway. Ill hang my head in a Hong Kong wind and hum a homesick song.
Some things never should be stripped naked of fantasy. They're not meant to be real. I remember the look in your eyes. At the hotel when I arrived full of adventure.
He wants to take her out to a movie. But he's not sure if he wants to go. And he don't wanna take it too quickly. And he don't wanna take it too slow.
Whatever it takes to get inside your heart. Someone will, I hope it's me. Whatever it takes to get beneath your skin. Someone will, I hope it's me. (chorus).
I like to remember you the way you look this very moment. But now wee past it and I memorizing that you were in it. Someone has to make the move to say good-bye so say good-bye.
Id like to remember you the way you look this very moment. But now were past it and Im memorizing that you were in it. Someone has to make the move to say good-bye so say good-bye.
I been walkin? in the lord. Been walkin? next to buddha. Been walkin? with the president. But I don't know where to go. Been walkin? with my mother. Been walkin? with my son.
I pulled into Memphis, I could not slow down. My brakes were gone, I wrecked the car...fire on the ground. Then my car exploded and the flames licked my chin.
Whispered words I can't recall. What she said when she meant goodbye. Memories from long ago,. When she meant when she left. Goodbye. And where is a dream.
A cheap one. To take you from here to heaven. Do you believe that that will do for you?. A quick one. To unwind the slow turning hours. Do you believe that that's what you deserve?.
So this is not your golden year. When you add up the blues and the greys. And you're standing face to face with your fears. Feeling your head against the wall.
