I'm not proud, I was wrong and the truth is hard to take I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard lifeboat lies lost at sea I've been trying to reach your shore waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building we never fulfilled them could be better, should be better for lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn and the mold is hard to break now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard heavy hearts token words all the hopes I ever had fade like footprints in the sand All the homes that we were building we never lived in could be better, should be better lessons in love if we lose the time before us the future will ignore us we should use it, we could use it, yeah lessons in love lost without love Lessons in love when will you ever learn lessons in love when there's nowhere left to turn lessons in love don't let your spirit burn lessons in love I'll wait 'till you return All the dreams that we were building we never lived them we could lose it, we should use it (lessons in love) lessons in love all the homes that we were building we never lived in could be better (could be better), should be better lessons in love if we lose the time before us the future will ignore us we should use it, we could use it (good god) lessons in love
I keep to myself what I might share with others but they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover that I don't have the words at my command holding out for a world so much better but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say we open our minds as one but one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say we thought it would never go as one more day - slips away who ever thought we could be so lonely
Our dad would send us to our room he'd be the voice of doom he said that we would thank him later all day he was solid as a rock but by eight o'clock we'd be crumbling one night my brother Joe and me climbed down the family tree that grew outside our bedroom window we ran though we knew it couldn't last running from the past from things that we were born to be Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the back seat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre Dad rang the officer in charge a man so large he barely fit his circumstances he said two kids out on the street were picked up on the beat and in the station so there's me with Emily and Joe daddy driving home all heading in the same direction he knew no matter what the breaks we'd make the same mistakes couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are looking back it's so bizarre Like a dream within a dream we're all somewhere in between Like a drummer plays his drum like a father like a son - and your gonna have to face the music - face the music Hey hey we keep it running in the family hey hey we keep it coming in the family Looking back it's so bizarre it runs in the family all the things we are on the backseat of the car with Joseph and Emily we only see so far - 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes take me back into your arms it's no longer a mystery no cause for alarm could have never come this far with no sense of history it always leaves a scar - and we all have our daddy's eyes looking back it's so bizarre running in the family Hey, hey!
I won't be here when you come home I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can but I can see another road and I ain't coming back Don't look for me around this town 'cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere and I won't take no souvenirs no perfumed picture promises because it's over and I ain't coming back You gave me everything and now I'm breaking your heart you know that I don't mean to tear your world apart I would never leave if I thought you couldn't stand the pain a letter in the hall is written on the wall a letter with no words of love at all because it's over (because it's over) and I ain't coming back And as I close the door I know I'm breaking your heart I should have loved you more instead I've torn your world apart And as I walk into the lonely afternoon I feel sad enough I feel bad enough and all the times when you are lonely where you are please don't hate me then I just could not pretend oh no Feel the tears I can feel the tears running through the years
I've been making moves in chains wrapped around my hollow heart the thought of you remains I can't replace your face no matter how I try and in the night I cry from wanting you you know I thought I could not lose America was calling me you said I must choose between a life of love or visions that will fade and now the choice is made I'm so lonely Can you feel me reaching out to you I'm so lonely are you lonely too I would give anything to make you understand that I would go anywhere to be with you again Heaven help me if you can I remember better days but now I understand you can't buy happiness, love is not for sale the night is turning pale and I'm needing you I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay) empty ears aren't listening to one word I say (time to play) the dream became a big machine out of control and here inside my soul I am so lonely Where are you now when I need you so I'm so lonely I need you to know I would give anything (can you feel me) to make you understand (reaching out to you) and I would go anywhere (where are you now) to be with you again (when I need you) I was standing in the rain I was trying to break the chains I was calling out your name (something snapped inside of me) I need to be with you again, yeah baby Can you feel me (can you feel me now) reaching out to you I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl) are you lonely too where are you now (I would go anywhere) now I need you so I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl) I need you to know I would give anything to make you understand and I would go anywhere to be with you again and you are the only one who can break these chains and I would go anywhere to be with you again (can you feel me) (reaching out to you) (where are you now) (when I need you so) (I'm so lonely) (are you lonely too) (where are you now) (now I need you)
I saw the longing in your eyes But I failed to see the anguish You so cleverly disguised Your needs I clearly read But I never knew your true intentions They were better left unsaid I brushed our tears aside Thought I could wipe away the memory But couldn't push that far inside You came so full of regrets Your body still remembers What your mind learnt to forget Love is lost I've found When trust breaks down Now we meet those two imposters just the same Always out of bounds When love comes round Don't even have the strength to share the blame We ride the train of events We never make our destination Never making any sense You say you leave without regret But your body will remember What your mind learns to forget One love. Two solitudes There's no common ground When trust breaks down Thought everybody's love is in the air Always out of bounds When love comes down Too scared to climb the wall of our despair Love is lust I've found When trust breaks down Now we meet those two imposters just the same Always out of bounds When love comes round Don't even have the strength to share the blame And the said thing is There's no end to this Your tears are like the rain that beats the rain And I wake at dawn To find you gone Don't even have strength to call you name repeat chorus 2 repeat corus 1

I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car even on a cloudy day she always says "Man!, who d'you think you are?" 'cause she don't see it my way we are all sleepwalkers we only see the things we wanna see tunnel visions and there's no end in sight But after all we've been through I know this much to be true though I don't think like you do don't you know that after all all I really need is you I have a game plan, but my love is in a jar it don't come into play she always says "Man!, no matter where we are, you're always miles away!" we are all sleepwalkers we don't see nothing we don't wanna see we dream in color we paint each other black and white Let's take one step at a time (at a time) let's take each day as we find (as we find) give me the chance to speak my mind don't you know that after all that's all I really need to cross that line We give - the impression that all is well trying to live - all of the lies we tell we cry - when there's no one near we don't know why - there just ain't enough love in these alien years I wear my ray-bans, driving in the car on a cloudy day the wheel in one hand, the other on my heart I'm trying to see it her way though we are all sleepwalkers we only see the things we wanna see I get the feeling maybe there's an end in sight
I'm not chasing miracles I don't want no sympathy I'm waiting for the world to keep me company thinking 'bout the universe trying to keep my fears at bay and all I'm hoping for is for someone else to want to say Freedom someday - are you ready to make the deal freedom someday - freedom to live for real I don't want no money but buddy, can you spare the time of day 'cause silence is, I'm sure the highest price we pay I don't wish my troubles on anyone but I can wish them well so I'm knocking on your door 'cause there's something I would like to say Freedom someday - I'm ready to make the deal freedom someday - freedom to live for real Somehow life goes on but when it's said and done it's such a bitter pill when you think the battle's won you hear the distant guns of all those fighting still the battle's in our heads one we alway lose whichever side we choose we can paint the planet red or black and blue instead but we are one world I'm not chasing miracles but I don't choose to be this way now all I'm hoping for is for someone else to hear me say And if our time has come and if our race is run who will pay the bill when you think the battle's won you hear the distant guns of all those fighting still but the battle's in our heads one we always lose whichever side we choose paint the planet red or black and blue instead but we are one world
