When I first found love it was on this screen. Her image caught my eye-she was dark and lean. We got past the small talk stage just fine. But couldn't get beyond hello unless we hooked up online.
Once upon a lonely time. I could barely make it though the night. It always seemed the sky was falling. Down on me. But life's funny you don't own it.
I search for meaning in a life. Confusing me for somebody else. It must not like. And the police wonder. Who shot the butler?. It is a mystery. Of the first degree.
Just an old love burned memory. That haunts from time to time. I remember how you promised. That forever you'd be mine. What happened to those words you said.
In the back of my mind there's a sweet memory. Of an old front porch swing and daddy singing to me. I can still feel the touch of his callused hands. In my eyes he was the one perfect man.
They both know a man in trouble. When they see one. And they've both willing to listen when he talks. Anger and depression,tearful confessions. Jesus and bartenders hear it all.
When he flies he sleeps and he dreams.... Found on the bed. A note. A bottle. It said she was really wrong. He was scared. He fled to her home alone. She was there.
In an old cantina down in Mexico. A bunch of dreamers drinking and thinking out loud. Panama Red told the Queen of Brazil. Ooh I love you I've loved you since I was a sailor.
When your eyes gaze up at the moon. You'll notice twin reflections. One at midnight. And high noon. They promise only peace of mind. But fill your heart with dread.
I am a tear,I've been here before. I know her perfumed fingers. I know the cold,cold floor. You look as if you don't. Understand me at all. When she can't help herself.
Give yourself a glimpse of the new world order. Come in then lock the gates. I'm the fat cat in charge. Who lets the inmates date the guards. You're gonna run em out when it's too late.
She said you're a living legend I said thank you kindly ma'am. She said don't be so mug I don't mean good. I said I beg your pardon I just don't understand.
How long?. Who's there?. It's cold. I'm scared. We torched streets together but felt so alone. Always in trouble-we tripped on our own. Everyone predicting we'd barely survive.
Didn't look like alcohol to me. But his hands were shakin' like a willow leaf. Reaching out for one more drink. He didn't look like a loser to me. But he was lost behind his tears.
There he goes to the house of strangers. He used to live there in constant danger. Keeps the darkness locked away. Head face down. Now he's in the halls of magic.
It took a while for me to see things as they were. In the light of truth. It wasn't you,it was me. I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt. Against the wall.
Here I am. A man pleading guilty as charged. The perfect life I was searching for. Could never have surfaced on Mars. And in the years since my return.
I can't find the words to describe. How it feels being loved by you. I stand there like the cat's got my tongue. Nothing's ever left me speechless like you do.
Heard you had some trouble. Thought I'd try to help you. In my time I've had a little trouble too. If you let it get you. Down you know I'll bet you. It will get you down and walk around on you.
It can numb your feeling. Make you think you care. It can leave you reeling. Are you almost there?. . If your hope is fading. Let your conscience sleep.
