If I promised you that everything
In the world would be in second place
Would you stay with me
Forever and a night

If I let you be the world to me
And we ride off in to destiny
Would you stay with me
When times get rough and hard

I can promise I’ll be brave enough
And always there to save our love
But if I’m down will you comfort me
Or would you leave me 
When I need you
Or would you leave me 
When I need you
 
Cuz every day you find a way
To take all of my breath away
I can’t deny the way that I feel

If I promise to be there for you
And give you love and care for you
Would you stay with me
Forever and a night

If I send the fear in your heart my dear
A million miles away from here
Would you stay with me
Forever and a Night

I can promise you I’ll be brave enough
And always try to save our love
But if I’m down would you comfort me
Or would you leave me 
When I need you
Would you leave me 
When I need you
 
We could leave this messed up world behind
It’s cold and angry all the time
Take my hand and leave with me now

Forever And A Night

Now that we know how it’s been for so long
Can we change it for a while
You understand I never demand
I wait for it now

I wait my entire life
Now my hopes silhouette me
I’ve not cried all the while
Then I found it out 
But I’m not giving up dear

But my heart was wrong
But my heart was wrong
Yea my heart was wrong
And then I was blown away

You’re wondering where I could be all the time
It wasn’t a matter of trust
It’s a long long tale I don’t have all night
Keep me around here

But  my heart was wrong
But  my heart was wrong
And my heart was wrong
And then I was blown away

Somehow the pain of attack
Was all I could stand
I didn’t mean you any harm at all
But my heart was wrong

My Heart Was Wrong

Is it greedy if I want a chance
Is it greedy if I need another try
I’m walking alone to you again
Weakly and out of stride 

I was above it
I was above it
I was above it
I was above it

Waiting on the high road and I stay away
Straighten out on the sidelines what I’m hoping to say
3,000 hours then I call you up
And I guess you don’t need me around

I was above it
I was above it
I was above it
I was above it
I was above it
I was above it
I was above it

I Was Above It

Even before I was born I was
on my feet
I was thinking about everything I would do
When I can get going

I went over the crib and out the door
And I feel mixed up
If don’t break down in pieces I
been running around

I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around

Before I could walk I had a wheel
I had a spaceman push me around fast
And when it got too much
I left home
I was on my feet and out the door honey
I’m running around

I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around
I Been Running Around

I Been Running Around

Figure out the mystery
The trigonometry
What’s first will soon be last
Some kind of crooked math

You will supply the map
I will carve out  the path
Like all of the other times
Other times

I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you
I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you

Looking back on history
Turn a win into defeat
You get the starting lap
I’ll have the final laugh

Inner demon is a saint
Fall in love with what you hate 
Like all of the other times
The other times

I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you
I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you
I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you
I’m looking I’m looking I’m looking for you
Look out

I'm Looking For You

Who’s that coming here 
I need answers
I need evidence that everything will be fine
We got one time left in this lifetime
And I need my time over you

And I know that it isn’t easy
And I know that it isn’t easy

My mind’s made up and I know it’s wrong
I got nothing left not even you
I want one chance then I’ll give it all back now
Let me have just one more chance here with you

And I know that it isn’t easy
And I know that it isn’t easy

So don’t blame me 
If I’m crazy
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know

Don’t blame me 
If I’m crazy
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know

My mind is made up on this subject
I know it’s made up on this subject
I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 reasons not to lie
I don’t have anybody left to fight

And I know that it isn’t easy
And I know that it isn’t easy
And I know life isn’t easy
And I know and I know

So don’t blame me 
If I’m crazy
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know

Don’t blame me 
For being crazy
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know
I’ll let you know

It Isn't Easy

I don’t wanna wait 
I just go
I don’t wanna risk 
Missing Out
I was alarmed at what I saw
That the end was so near

Will you write me
Will you call me
Will you miss me
Now that I’m gone

I don’t wanna leave
I just stay
I don’t wanna lose sight of you
And I was alarmed at what I saw
That we reached the point where there’s no comeback

Will you write me
Will you call me
Will you miss me
Now that I’m gone

Would you miss a beat 
Would you get right back up
Would you rearrange
Would you visit my grave

Would you call me
Will you write me
Will you miss me
Will you miss me    
Now that I’m gone

Now That I'm Gone

You ought to know where I’ve been
Though I’m an honest man I never win
Look at me I’ve atrophied
I’m a shell of myself
You wanna make it here 
You’re going up for sale 

Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up in Gold Come on
Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up Wrap me in Gold honey

Anytime I try with anyone
They all have buried heads in crazy stuff
I remember men had integrity and they fought for truth
Are we unprepare and are we through
 
Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up in Gold Won’tcha
Wrap Me Up in Gold Come on
Wrap Me Up in Gold

Cuz you’re hypnotized
By a rectangle
And we’re all right here
But we’re all alone

Wrap Me Up in Gold come on
Wrap Me up in Gold

Can we get a little peace sign on the side, you mind
I’m looking back and seeing that it’s a part of you I know
Well I had a little in and out of body experience tonight
Where I had to float around drying off and cold, alright

Try and Find Me Will You
Try and Take me with you

Get a little bit closer to the road 
I figure if I’m not there yet then I can go back alone
Is your human nature awake today
Looking back I guess we’re all a fraud, oh no 

Try and Find Me Will You
Call Out to Me 
Try and Take me with you
Try and find me will you go
By me and decide that there’s nothing here for you
