THE LAST DAY
See the outline of the frames
Of where the pictures used to be
Closets full of clothes are empty
Now this mess belongs to me
Leaving me room for all the baggage
Ive been keeping locked inside
I said Id get over her, but I lied...
Yesterday she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for the both of us
The other day, I was doin fine
But yesterday was the Last day of my life
Every minute Im alone I watch the phone
I cant believe
Its so pathetic how my imagination
Gets the best of me
Maybe Ill phone her up wont act grown up
Then shell hang up the line
Now Ill just have to get a life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day I was doin fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
The day before, I was feelin fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Why did I doubt her (Yesterday)
Im better without her (Yesterday)
Yesterday she walked out of my life
There she goes
If she dont care why the hell should I
Yesterday was the best day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
If she dont care, why the hell should I
Yesterday was the best day of my...
Yesterday was the best day of my life...
THATS THE GIRL IVE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT (ALBUM VERSION)
I don't know what I was thinkin' when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
She could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her, but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion, but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it goin' on and I never wanna be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her
Yeah.....oh
I don't even think she knows how she moves me
I can't explain it, but she does something to me
If she ever looked she'd see right through me
And I don't think that I could keep my cool
I could tell her that I wanna get to know her
Take her places that I'd really like to show her
But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her
And I don't think he's got a notion, but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it goin' on and I never wanna be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been living in my head like a recurring dream
Her smile is like the sun, and my whole world revolves around her
She lives in my head
From the start of my day, till night
Every word that she says
I'm hanging on to, soo tight
(most excellent Harmonica solo)
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it goin' on and I never wanna be without her, no
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been raining in my head like a pouring storm
Her smile is like the sun, and my whole world revolves around her
Like a soul in the wind, I've been lost since the day I found her
What Id give to be everything she needs like the air around her
Got my arms open wide, but she knew they belonged around her
Yeah
THAT'S THE GIRL (2nd verse for radio edit)
Theres something to be said about a womens intuition
I think she's heard a thing or two about musicians
I'm a singer
So she thinks that I'm on a mission
Now all she wants to do is melt my cool
But I asked her out
And told her we could have fun
She laughed at me just like a 'Honeymooners' rerun
She said my chance of dating her
Was either slim or none
But that dont mean Im gonna listen
Cause thats the girl Ive been telling you about....
HEY LEONARDO (SHE LIKES ME FOR ME)
She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good cause I don't got a lot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'
She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed
She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch too much TV
And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when
She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in 'Fargo'
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end
(Harmonica solo)
She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I'm such a hottie (huh)
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see, I dont see
She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Harry
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
I'm like the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
(She likes me for me)
Found her once again(She likes me for me)
I'm so glad I found her once again
Once again
STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE EARTH
I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday
Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you to know that I'll stand right by your side
And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll...
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll...
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
Waiting for someday Believing in someday Praying for someday, I'll be...
Longing for someday Clinging to someday Cherishing someday, I'll be...
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday Wishing for someday, I'll be...
Living for someday Counting on someday
Knowing that one day...
I will see you...
STONE GLASS WINDOW
Was conceived out of nuthin'
Ill always be what I've been
If I focus the real world
One day I might tune it in
Oh, do I have to shout, Do I have to wave a gun
Hide my head from the sun screamin' someone anyone
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Tell me why, why if you bleed,
I'm the one that's gotta bleed
Got me fiendin' for the need to say hey look at me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window
Pick me up in your dream life
Wrap me up in your gold
Tease me just like a dog needs a bone
Then throw me out in the cold
Ah....It's time to make a choice but I'm afraid to make some noise
When I hear the silent voice and the voice is telling me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Cause I'm a man on the run, do I have to wave a gun
Will I end up like the rest where the rest sleep eternally
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't sleep on this concrete pillow
I'm looking for something better than this
I'm slipping back to the low....
I'm going down
In my head is the sound
It's the voice of no one....
(whoo!)
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window
There's gotta be something better that this
I'm slipping back to the low....
IF SHE COULDNT SLEEP
As I lie awake, in the other room
I could probably stay awake until noon time
So frustrating knowing what could be
What's even worse is she used to belong to me
As I toss and turn, there's nothing I can do
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh no, if she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, I wish she couldn't sleep
8am and she's not at home
Stayed out all night wonder if she's all alone or
With someone new and she won't even call
To ease my mind just to help me break the fall
Now I'm felling all the things I put her through
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just cant seem to wake her up this time
Oh no, if she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell me herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, but I guess she's doin' fine
I wonder is she knows she's on my mind
If she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
oh, no
If she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
like me
If she couldn't sleep like me
Oh if she couldn't sleep like me...
SOUTH HAMPTON AVENUE
She lies in bed her head sucking a cigarette
Closing her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead
But she's not
She's not
In the next tomb her old man's room it's another night
He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light
Yea it's on
But he's gone
We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far
Right down the stairs my mom is there under the mushroom cloud
Sometimes she sits sometimes she knits sometimes she talks out loud
To herself
She's allowed
Hanging on the wall up and down the hall pictures of family
My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see
Now he's gone
He moved on
We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far
How do you like us so far
We live on South Hampton avenue
I got a feeling it's old to you
We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome mat out for you
Now that we think we know who you are
How do you like us so far
How do you like us so far (na na na...)
How do you like us so far (na na na...)
We live on South Hampton Avenue...
WHAT HAVE I GOT TO LOSE
I started to write you a letter the other day
I didn't know exactly what I was going to say
And at the last minute I threw it away
Cause I didn't know think you'd read it anyway
And Im the kind of man who's glass if half full
But Im a bit torn from the strings you pulled
And since I already felt a bit abused
I just thought to myself
I thought to myself
Oh, what have I got to lose?
Cause I can't fall much further down
No,and look what I've got to win
If you would only hear my heart
(Yes)
Yesterday I actually tried calling
That was after six days and six nights of stalling
And I thought about everything that we've been through
All the different places that we went to
I never thougt we'd go there
The times he hurt each other, sometimes we meant to
Trying to make up with flowers that it sent you
But now Im at the crossroads and it's time to choose
And I guess I just figured, what the hell
Oh, what have I got to loose
Cause Ive already come this far
And look what I got to win
If you would only search my heart and see what's deep inside
(Oohh)
See I don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to dream
I always wake up with tears it seems
And I can't blame it on you so I must be me
I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do
Cause I ain't got nothing to loose no
I've lost the only thing missing form my life
Look what I've got to win
If only I can get you to hear my heart and see what it's saying to you
What have I got to loose
When all I've lost is everything I need
And look what Ive got to win
If you'll only listen, listen, to my heart
What have i got to lose (oohh oohh)
I ain't got nothin to lose
Look what I've got to win
THE REST OF MY LIFE
I know you're heard the excuses before
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short
I've bound my emotions 'cause I can't afford to be wrong
I know we've talked about being good friends
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent
But all of your glances they came and the went to my head
And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I love you" that's what I meant
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life
The rest of my life
The rest of my life
I don't want to rush this cause my greatest fear
is taking for granted what's taken us years
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we cried
We've taken our time and for this I'm so glad
Now we can be sure that this moment will last
We've traveled a road of mistakes in our past to get her
And I'm not about to throw words to the wind
When I said "I love you" that's what I meant
And I'm going to show you if it takes me the rest of my life
The rest of my life
The rest of my life
And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I love you" well, that's what I meant
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life
WALKING OFF THE BUZZ
Amy woulda died for me
She would've had my baby
If I needed a favor
It was yes, she never said maybe
And all the time that we walked barefoot in the sand
Somehow we never felt the rain
Now I got nothin but time
Shes got her life and now Ive got nothin but mine
I could walk off the hurt
Run through the pain
Wipe all the tears pouring down my face
Deny the dream, that just never was
Oh girl
I just can't walk off the buzz
Amy used to call me all the time
But she hasn't lately
I wonder if she goes out at all
And if she's dating
And every time I walk alone along the beach somehow
I always feel the rain
So many times I wished for my space
Now I wish I didn't feel so outta place
I could walk off the fear
Crawl through the hate
Beg you to forgive, my every mistake
Pretend you and I, it just never was
Oh girl
I just can't walk off the buzz
And now that I'm lonely
I see you were the only one (yes)
Who ever knew me aww baby and could
See right through me
I could walk off the hurt
Run through the pain
Wipe all the tears pouring down my face
Deny the dream, that just never was
Oh girl
I just can't walk off the buzz
I just can't walk off the buzz
I just can't walk off the buzz
REAL GOOD FRIENDS
You came all this way to see me
There must be something I should know
Did you come here just to leave me
Cause I don't wanna let you go
I know you need more from me
Than I can give so now we'll see
If we can get along as real good friends
There's no need to say goodbye
We maybe better off a real good friends
To keep this love alive
Too much time and distance
Is what we were up against
And we didn't want to listen
To the advice of our friends
They said this can't last too long
They were right, they were also wrong
Cause now we're gonna be two real good friends
Even closer than before
That's the way I think it should've always been
But we just wanted more
From the first time that we made eyes
We knew there was something there
And if this is the last time
Then let's pretend we never met
So we can start again
We could learn how to be real good friends
Even closer than before
Cause that's the way we knew it should've always been
And now we have it all
Ain't it better now that we're real good friends
Even closer than before
We'll never have to worry how the story ends
We'll just keep on wanting more
Sorry people no lyrics for Revolution either. It's a cover song so the band doesn't really have the rights to this song either, so I'm not gonna post them.
