Lyrics: Long ago I don’t know when
You was Dracula I was Tarzan
I saw you all come to life
In this world you’re all around me
I have been told the man upstairs knows all
This hurts so bad
So I think he should tell me

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

Dreams float like clouds in the sky
Tried to touch them they were too high
I have been told 
The man upstairs knows all
This hurts so bad
So I think he should tell me

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

Instrumental

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

Lyrics:  

What a waste, what a waste, what a waste of time
How we spend, how we spend, how we spend our lives
Get a house, buy a dog, tell the kids not to fight
Now you got, now you got, now you got it made
But you’re still, but you’re still, but you’re still afraid
Watch the clock as the seconds tick away

There’s just one problem
It’s not my trip
There’s just one problem baby

Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear that sound
As the kids, as the kids, as the kids freak out
Hit the switch, pull the cord and we’re going down

There’s just one problem
It’s not my trip
There’s just one problem baby
There’s just one problem
It’s not my trip
There’s just one problem baby

Solo

There’s just one problem
It’s not my trip
There’s just one problem baby
There’s just one problem
It’s not my trip
There’s just one problem baby

Lyrics: 
If you hold back then you can’t be free
If you go forth might get lost at sea
But don’t get lost in this purgatory
This wicked world it is driving me

Why can’t I just keep my cool?
I just can’t help when I lose my head
Why can’t I just be like you?

So we set sail at the crack of dawn
When you looked back well it all was gone
But have no fear ‘cause it won’t be long
Till you are free from your world weary song

Chorus

I can’t remember my name
Maybe it’s ‘cause I have lost my way
If I appear at your door
The years will fall
Years will fall
Years will fall away

Lyrics:  All roads will lead me to you

And when it comes I swear I won’t be scared

I’d love to take them everywhere they go
To where they go

It’s the way I’m feeling lately
It’s just the way I’m feeling lately
It’s the way I’m feeling lately
Down, down, down, down, down

I hear the word coming through
Kick out the old here’s the new
To have the truth and hold it in our hands
Then it began

Looking to the light
Searching for a dream
Flashed across my eyes
Started making sense to me

All roads will lead me to you
All roads will lead me to you
All roads will lead me to you

I thought you superficial and vacuous inside
I only want to help you and heaven knows I’ve tried
Must I forever wander the desert that’s so dry
And stretches out forever in your mind

I won’t lie

The deeper that I’m going the darker that it gets
To pull you from the fire would be to make it correct
I always will remember the look that filled your eyes
I thought that I could help you if I tried

But I won’t cry
I won’t cry
No I won’t cry
I won’t cry

If I extract the stigma from the tale
This apple might taste better
And though I know good sense will not prevail
I’ll remember you like you want me to

And how we tried
How we tried
Yes, how we tried
How we tried

Sat at the table
Thinking things over
Nothing is the same
Everything’s changing
I would be ok
I would be alright
If you would give me your love

For your love, for your love
For your love, for your love
Your love, your love

Tears in your minds eye
Makes things distorted
Climbed to a great height
Now we are falling
Things would be ok
Things would be just fine
If you would give me your love

When we met I was a stray
But you showed me that there was another way
Now our footsteps always rhyme
Our lives became entwined
I guess it was a sign

Late at night when I’m asleep
You will come to me invading all my dreams
When I wake you’re by my side
It makes me want to smile
‘Cause I’m so glad you’re mine
