You got what I want baby I got what you need So baby get ready Well I'm down on my knees Go on and take my money I can make it all back and let me buy you a drink can I ask you to dance I waited my whole life for somebody like you and it's about damned time all this wishing came true Well it's never too late for love to fall right into your lap She walks on water She moves like a dream So come on and come over Wrap yourself around me She said she don't like liars and can't stand thieves I guess I got two strikes but that's alright with me I got the rest of tonight to get my story straight and it might take a little while but I'll be worth your wait Well it's never too late for love to fall right in your lap You got what I want baby I got what you need So baby get ready Well I'm down on my knees Go on and take my money I can make it all back and let me buy you a drink can I ask you to dance I waited my whole life for somebody like you and it's about damned time all this wishing came true Well it's never too late for love Never too late for love Never too late for love to fall right into your lap

The rich man knows the cost of everything But the value of nothing The preacher says to live life on our knees But that don't sit right in my stomach Well a strange voice in this reoccurring dream Keeps telling me we gotta stand for something The old man sold his life for minimum wage But mine is not for sale so keep your change Yeah their lives were lessons for me Why do we only want what's been taken away? Like yesterdays can be saved in our dusty old things Let's drop the scraps of the past to which we desperately cling And know that something good Yeah something good is this way coming Promise me you'll never ever leave Even though we both know your lying Cause even if we grow old holding hands We still gotta deal with dying I'm sorry for the countless things I've taken And all the pretty things I broke But darling for the scars upon your heart Darling for the scars upon your heart I apologize the most Why do we only want what's been taken away? Like yesterdays can be saved in our dusty old things Let's drop the scraps of the past to which we desperately cling Because there's nothing in life that death let's us keep Darling there ain't nothing in life that death let's us keep So if we kicked down the door and crept into your house And we took everything worth talking about Would you think to thank the thieves For lightening you load and showing you what you don't need...

Back at the habit again No time to come down If our fathers are our models for god then it's the devil for me So when I finally quit I couldn't get it to stick I'd always wake up To four white walls Shackled by the sheets of my bed Just thinking Maybe all of this is just a real bad dream Like I'd awake surprised to find this whole time I'd been sleeping Seeking that sweet relief Well maybe all of this is just a real bad dream If only we could wake ourselves if only we Could wake up Wake up She said she'd been treading water too long She's bout to go down Well daddy never taught her how to swim She ate a bottle of pills cause she don't like how she feels And now she... Wakes up To four white walls Firmly strapped to her bed Just thinking Maybe all of this is just a real bad dream Like she'd awake surprised to find this whole time she'd been sleeping Right next to me Well maybe all of this is just a real bad dream If only we could wake ourselves if only we Could wake up Wake up I see the people and I see the trees And I see good men going down to their knees Praying for rest and relief they don't seem to recieve Well I seem to see plenty of everything Oh and I see the lovers who will never meet Watching from windows Scared to death of the streets Now they say that they know where you go when you're gone And they sell you a line tied to a hook in your heart But you feel this sinking feeling in your chest That maybe all of this is just a real real bad dream If I could just wake up please It's about trust and it's about time And it's about lust and it's about lies And it's about you and it's about I And it's about time that we Wake up

So I guess She meant what she said When she said she was leaving here And washed her hands of this whole mess In a sense More intense than death The body of the person you love Walking around With a head that'll never forget So I pour myself a glass of whiskey Two at a time cause it helps me to forget these Ghosts of all the lovers and friends Tonight denies me Try like hell to hold on But boy you'll know when that bottle's gone A little bit about emptiness Got a filthy conscience And these hands to match I'm the man that got everything that he wanted Then lost it so fast It made his head spin Well in an honest Attempt to drink myself to death Yeah well I'd awake to the afternoon light To find that I'd failed again Even at that So I pour myself a glass of whiskey Two at a time cause it helps me to forget these Ghosts of all the lovers and friends Tonight denies me She says there's no place like home She clicks her heels and then disappears The past is back in tomorrow's clothes Trying to sell us another year Well I was smoking A sentimental cigarette We made so many good memories But I think it's time we put em to bed Cause I don't have the cash The time or the means Or half of the brains it'd take To build my own time machine So I pour myself a glass of whiskey Two at a time cause it helps me to forget these Ghosts of all the lovers and friends Tonight denies me These yesterdays man they're piling up on me And I can't take it well I guess the older that I get The more that I hate waiting Cause patience is just glorified Procrastination

They say there's no rest for the wicked I don't know if I'm wicked But I sure don't get much sleep The righteous men they say rest every seventh day I guess either way I've got myself a busy week And until then my friend we're The dead, the deadly and the dying The dead, the deadly and the dying It takes more Some days it takes more than I can take I get in my way Every time I speak And I think I know Or I'm going to think It's the dead The deadly and the dying Oh we're the dead The deadly and the dying

Think we need to find a way back home You loose so many things you love as you grow I miss the days when I was just a kid My fear became my shadow, I swear it did Wherever is your heart I call home Wherever is your heart I call home Though your feet may take you far from me, I know Wherever is your heart I call home You made me feel like I was always falling Always falling down without a place to land Somewhere in the distance I heard you calling God it hurts so bad to let go of your hand Wherever is your heart I call home Wherever is your heart I call home Though your feet may take you far from me, I know Wherever is your heart I call home Cause even when you're high, you can get low Even with your friends you love, you're still alone We always find the darkest place to go God forgive our minds, cause we were born to roam Wherever is your heart I call home Wherever is your heart I call home Though your feet may take you far from me, I know Wherever is your heart I call home Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind When I come home, I'm coming home Oh God forgive my mind, Oh God forgive my mind When I come home, I'm coming home Oh God forgive my mind There's a road that's long and winding and it's hollering home I'm calling home Oh God forgive my mind, oh God forgive my mind When I come home, I'm coming home Wherever is your heart I call home Wherever is your heart I call home Though your feet may take you far from me, I know Wherever is your heart I call home Wherever is your heart I call home
