How Long

Do you recall that winter evening
The night that I first said I'm leaving
Hoping you would change my mind?

I lay my head up on your knees and
Whispered please, but inside I was
Leaving, I'm the leaving kind

I could put you off forever
This longing has no end

How long til you and I can be together?
How long until we see this through?

How long until we know that this is forever?
How long til I say I love you?

And when the burning leaves are falling
I can always hear you calling
Fearing, that we are losing ground

But in our secret hearts we're knowing
Our love is winter and it's snowing
Falling, comfort coming down

I could put you off forever
This longing has no end
Advertising lasts a lifetime
If not now then when?

How long til you and I can be together?
How long until we see this through?

How long until we know that this is forever?
How long til I say I love you?
until we see this through?

The sound of thunder in my distance
tells me what to do
When daylight turns to darkness
I'll be coming home to you

How long until we know that this is forever?
How long til I say I love you?
until we see this through?
can I say I love you?
we've got to see this through

Think

Imagine if I said I sometimes need you 
I need you to this day
Imagine if I said I sometimes hear you call my name
Imagine if I said I still could love you
Imagine what you'd say
Imagine if I said I sometimes still can see your face

Think about all the things we shared
Think about all the times we cared
When all of your hopes have come and gone
Think about me and I'll be there

There's something in the air that feels like winter
The kind we used to know
Yesterday can seem like such a long, long time ago
Who could ever count the miles between us?
But now I know it's true
Imagine if I said that all my dreams are dreams of you

Think about all the things we shared
Think about all the times we cared
When all of your dreams have come and gone
Think about me and I'll be there
Think about images we've drawn
Think about all those empty songs
Whenever you're sure that I won't dare
Think about me and I'll be gone

It took me a long, long time to learn
That love is a thing you have to earn
I finally realized it's true
I just can't make it without you

Think about all the things we shared
Think about all the times we cared
When all of your dreams have come and gone
Think about me and I'll be there
Think about images we've drawn
Think about all those empty songs
Whenver you're sure that I won't dare
Think about me and I'll be gone

Now that I Have You

You've got to believe there's something inside of me
That makes me feel this way
You've got to believe that you're still a part of me
Today

But telling a tale cannot be like living it
No matter what you say
And talking of love cannot be like giving it
Away

I know
And you know
The voices are calling
Now that I have you

Whatever in the world can I do
Now that I have you
Whoever in the world could say it's not true
Now that I have you

I wonder how much of our life is memory
Remember yesterday
I'm hoping to God you don't believe everything
I say

Remebering every part of our history
A year is like a day
You've got to believe that things won't always be
This way

I know
And you know
The voices are calling
The walls are falling
For my love
And your love
I've got to keep stalling
Now that I have you

Whatever in the world can I do
Now that I have you
Whoever in the world could say it's untrue
Now that I have you

Fire Tonight

Well, there's a hot wind blowing tonight in the east
And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police
On the radio there's nothing but a man saying to stay inside

Well, I remember what you said on the telephone
That you didn't feel like it was safe to stay alone
And you would get yourself to me if you could find a way across the line

But there's fire tonight on your side of town
Orange light in the sky without a sound
Fire tonight on your side of town
I watch and wait for you to come around

Well, there's a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air
And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare
On the tv here they're telling me the roads now are all closed down
You said that if you couldn't take the car you'd walk instead
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead
And now I'm waiting by the window holding all the things of yours I found

But there's fire tonight on your side of town
Orange light in the sky without a sound
Fire tonight on your side of town
I watch and wait for you to come around

I know we always said that we were free.
I know we never thought this would succeed
But now your face is all that I can see

But there's fire tonight on your side of town
Orange light in the sky without a sound
Fire tonight on your side of town
I watch and wait for you to come around

Can't slow down

My heart is a drum that's pounding
My mind is a note that's sounding
Let the choir sing your praises
I'll state my case in four-note phrases

Can I get a witness to my rate?
Will anyone quantify my fate?
While I've been waiting for you
Lives I've been creating for you

I can't slow down
Like a river I'm flowing on and on
Someway, somehow
I will find where I am going
Someday

The meaning of life is to attack
There's a special joy in coffee black
When I see the red, the black, the green
I'm seeing the color of my dreams

My song is a tree that's hollow
My mantra is I must follow
Where those hooded eyes are leading
I cannot be stopped for speeding

I can't slow down
Like a river, I'm flowing on and on
Some way, somehow
I will find where I am going
Someday

Move out

One last drive through the suburbs 
You feel ready to leave the ground
You've got your records packed away in boxes 
But you don't really know what it means to leave 

Move out on your own
You're finally in control 
Now you're on your own
Just watch it all unfold 

Turning onto the freeway 
You can't remember why you want to leave 
You're holding onto pictures of your friends 
But you don't want to stay around here anymore 

Move out on your own
Though your future is unknown
Sailing under your own power 
Now your life is yours

Mirrorshades

Here are a few notes from the underground
Load them at your pleasure
These are the dusty pictures that I found
While on my search for treasure

Here is the hazy vision that I saw
Here's what she said to me:
For a scientist I am too raw
I know all about you can't you see?

She said don't be making no provocation
Unless you're ready to handle the nation
I'm cold and I'm bold and I don't do what I'm told

She wore mirrorshades
And I can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades
But I know that i can't live without her mirrorshades
And I kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades
And the strange attractors that surround her

Remember as you bust north at her call
That you can never doubt it
No matter what you cannot have it all
'Cuz she leaves home without it

But in the darkness where we both were caught
In the heartbeat of El Nido
I had a vhs for her to slot
And now I never want to go

She said "Now you're here, you gotta show and prove
And do that dance until it don't move
The phone doesn't work so you won't be calling home"

She wore mirrorshades
And I can't explain a thing about her mirrorshades
And I know that I can't live without her mirrorshades
And I kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades
And the strange attractors that surround her

She was so absolutely digital
To jack in now was wrong
But Cupid punches deck with chemicals
While Dark Madonna sings her song

If only

If only I had known you better
If only you weren't afraid to try
You and me, we'd make a bad, bad team
But we'll never understand the reasons why

If only you
If only me
If only you
If only me

I remember the day that I met you
The politics were already strong
I think you knew, like me, that it would never work out
And I'm surprised that it even lasted so long

If only you
If only me
If only you
If only me

Come with me

So drop your hesitation and come with me
Nothing that we say can hurt us now
We'll take this night and make it remember us
There's nothing stopping us now
So come with me

We're in the darkness we are here inside our hiding place
The sound and smoke pour down on us 
And so we have to speak with our eyes
To hear your voice would be a surprise

We're all just kids from around town and so we know
That outside in the real world it doesn't matter
What we do
We know for us there's nothing new

So drop your hesitation and come with me
Nothing that we say can hurt us now
We'll take this night and make it remember us
There's nothing stopping us now
So come with me

I know you're only here to kill a few more hours
I could be somewhere else but now I've got my reasons
Not to go home
I don't want to be there alone

You know you've got to stop thinking about right and wrong
Tonight it's you and me it's now or never we've got
Nothing to lose
We can do whatever we choose

Slipping away

So I've been thinking of the way you used to talk to me
And now it seems we never talk at all

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was the first time
'Cause I can feel you slipping away
And I can't think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away

Now I can see you talking softly on the phone again
And more and more you need to be alone
Now I make you angry just by being near
And even when we're together now I still feel lonely

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was the first time
'Cause I can feel you slipping away
And I can't think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away
