Another Sad day goes by and I feel
Like nodding my head to the tune of rain drops falling, calling my name a sweet little tone is enough to make my heart beat
When a musical moment comes
We strum to the beat yea we strum when the day gives way to the dark we dream of the seeds we've sown
A traffic light blinks in the rain
Its the same what a shame when the evening stars
Are shining on the my window sill in the night
The leaves in the air and the moon in the sky and everyday with my head in the clouds and
Of two million people who still haven't met
Yet I see the world moving farther away I'm alone
why bother I think id rather stay at home
At home
Walking a road with an end only I can decide and as I look in your eyes I've seen what you've done with your life it's a mess I confess to my crimes
Another face another day
Will the world keep a smile
Or will I have to try and remember
A phrase in the name of a friend
It's three simple things I forgot to say before you left
Keep close to your friends and your family you'll see and you won't regret the times when you hear the voice of someone you hold dear
Even when there's nobody here to
Tell you that everything will be alright and I know that it's not oh but life will go on so they say that I'm NOT alone but the ground is so cold when I look the time go by with the blink of an eye so say your goodbyes my dear oh I know
(Solo)
Walking a road I believe that the time can go by and as I look in your eyes I've seen what you've done with your life now I see how I live mine
Yet there is one thing I know
Birds were meant to fly far from home
And I know that I've got to say
I've got to be going on my way

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

When you were born you were not alone
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet
But don't forget you heard someone say it won't get better than this
That was the sound of your father
As he held you up to your mother
No one will ever know a love as pure as the one that you felt right then
They held you up
They held you up
And everybody else they fell to the wayside
This is the start; the beginning
A prologue to the yarn that you're spinning
A million synonyms
Will never come close to describe the feeling
Don't ever leave
'Cause if you do, dear
I guarantee that you'll regret the day you did
And you'll miss all the simple things
And you'll see everything you ever loved
Start fading til' there's nothing left but dust
And I believe
That every broken bone is meant to be
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
And I see
The things that I pretend that I don't see
And I store them in my head, love
If only for memories
So now you're young and you feel alone
Despite friends, family, and all the good things now surrounding you
You can't help thinking: "Oh there's gotta be some more to do"
When all the things that you cherish
Turn in to burdens and there is
No other path to take
You know what you gotta do
But you don't know how
They hold you back
They hold you down
And you kinda' feel bad but you know that you gotta get out
This is your pain your dilemma
Do you stay in the town where they raised ya
Or will you sail away
Pull the anchor and go headed for the come what may
You have to leave
'Cause if you don't, dear
You'll never see the things you read about in books
You saw the films and you were hooked
But everything you want won't come to you
You realize now that you've gotta go see this through
And I believe
That every broken bone is meant to be
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
And I see
The things that I pretend that I don't see
And and I store them in my head, love
If only for memories
I believe
That every broken bone is meant to be
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
And I see
The things that I pretend that I don't see
And and I store them in my head, love
If only for memories

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul
Baby
[Chorus:]
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than I need you
And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

Well it's getting cold outside, the stars come out at night
Watch the whole world turn around, on the ground
Your subtle smile had a hold on my heart when you were
Standing on the corner, waiting for somebody to see
Oh it's me, and I know
I hate to contradict you but I just don't need to be told, again
When everyone's a liar and I'm so tired of feeling alone
I can't stop thinking will I find somebody to hold
When the world is cold
I won't pretend that I'm alright, when you think you know what's right
They don't believe you, it always meant nothing to me
But when the rain comes down, you'll walk on the ground
Yea I see something that no one has found
Take a new step with your linoleum heart
I'll be here waiting won't you
Take a step next to me, you see
My life is a disaster, and I just someone to be a friend
Well everyone's a liar and I'm just so tired of being alone
So baby take a chance and I know you'll be the one I can hold
When the world is cold
So settle down and tell your story
Don't be afraid to tell me
Every single detail I love the way you touch your hair, when you talk
And this is not normal for me
I never met someone who shares my desires,
Hates all the liars and thieves
And if life's just a game, tell me how do I win
I know I'm ahead and I just don't feel the same like I did
And I couldn't feel better and I hope she feels the way, that I do
Cause that's the rule in the game for two
is you gotta have someone to hold
When the world is cold

Yet there is one thing I know

And I know that I've got to say
I've got to be going on my way
On my way
