If you want this side of me
If you hope there’s more to see
You can’t wait, this time tomorrow
You’ll be still holding on, I guarantee.

Come taste the water, taste the day
I’m an ocean, you’re the bay.
It’s been said that I’m an outlaw
With too much time to steal away.

You know, you know that I could never change
They say, you say, there’s need to disarrange.
And all I hear are lies that re-appear
And despite all this you still want this side of me.

God give me peace,
God give me rest
I need time to re-assess.
You see I’m tired, but that’s life though
I still hold my convictions to the test.

You know…

What would you do differently
If only you could start things over?
Where would you go if you knew
They’d be there waiting for you?

I would go back home.
I would go back home.
Back where I belong Home forever long.

Where would you live once you’re done with
All those things you’ve ever dreamed of?
Would you head back in a heartbeat If you fell in love?

I would go back home… …Back where I am strong Back where I belong.

Would you still love me like you used to?
Would you still hold me as you used to do?
When I come home…

I would go back home…

It’s winter again,
Seems nothing has changed.
Still stuck in these four walls I can count the days.
The faint light’s always shinning,
But it’s getting hard to see. It’s winter again,
I wish it’d shine on me.

I need an inspiration A different occupation
I need a reason for a change in my ways.
I crave a new tomorrow A picture of Picasso
I have to take a little energy.

It’d New Year again,
Better make my list.
I swear this’ll be my year,
You see I must insist.
The goal post’s always marching In a constant state of flux.
But I’m still stuck in these four walls You see I,
I don’t move too much.

I need an inspiration…

Look at the thunder forming, Steady as she goes.
Look at the bruises all around my bloody nose.Look at the crowds, they’re shaking.
Is it worth a try?
Look at the grin I’m wearing Ask yourself, why?

So I should slow down Steady as she goes.
So I should hold down Ready on my toes.
Oh I could walk here Up upon my feet.
So if I love here Love the one I need.
I, I’m not sorry!

I see the thunder leaving,
Blown away by tears.
I see the bruises letting go of all my fears.
I see the crowds, they wonder, Is it worth the pain?
You see the grin I’m wearing, Ask yourself again.

So I should…

Just one look towards the next day I’ll see for sure
That everything moves on.
Take one more, one more step forward
And turn to see That what is done is done.

I have learned that I’ll be OK.
I have searched, and I’ve been OK.

Finding how to live without all the weary thoughts In this revolving door
So I’ll hold my brow Up where my dreams lead to greater things
And there will be much more.

I have learned…

Walking out, I never pictured this day would come
And it would feel this good
No more doubt, For I am going where few have stood,
But many wish they could.

I have learned that I’ll be OK
I have searched, and I’ve been OK

Oh you might want to tell me if I’m wrong
You may wish to say before too long.
Save it till I’m done, cos’ you’re not the only one.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh you might hear of things you don’t agree
And you’ll form your own opinions about me.
Please save it till I’m done,
I can’t be the one they want.
Oh everyone can tell me when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

I took some time to wonder about life
I’d been hoping this year would turn out right.
You know there’s something more, yet you’ve seen this all before.
Maybe everyone will see this when I’m gone.

Oh oh…

It’s been a while since I last prayed to GodA departure from grace, I’d fallen hard.
With everything aside I really messed it up this time.
I hope everyone will save it till I’m done.

Oh oh…

I hope someday you’ll see I’m not who I used to be,
Then everyone can tell me when I’m gone

All this time, seven years have gone by.
Left me out there on my own to survive.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m told to believe, all this time.
Lift me up. I’m feeling alone.
I am delivered, now I’m ready to go home.

All this time I’ve been waiting on a dime
So I’m called to believe to survive.
All I hear is your voice in my ear
So I’m told, this is life. All this time

Looks like the rain has come back againLooks like that grey sky has settled inFeels like the winds turned against my sailLooks like the rain comes cos’ you’re not here.
Oh sweet beloved, where have you gone?I wish I knew where I’d gone wrong.
I would be there in the blink of an eyeWith you somewhere other thanThis dark grey sky.
Looks like the rain has rolled in once moreSeems I’m alone standing on an empty floorSeems like the world’s gone monochromeLooks like the rain comes when I’m alone.
Oh sweet beloved.

I heard you’re back in the cityI see you’re doing just fine.Some people say that you’ve changed nowI heard it through the grapevine.
You’re telling tales of the old timesYou’re making friends I never knew.I wonder do they take your lies,When righteous don’t look good on you?
Take it or leave itI don’t want to hear it tonight.You’re future ain’t so bright.Take it or leave itI just don’t believe in you lies.You’re never gonna see me again.
I’ve only known this as hopelessI’ve seen you’ve done this before.God give me peace from this restlessSo you can’t do this anymore.
Take it or leave it

Cool down Papa, don’t you carry that bag
You’ve been working all day long.
I don’t like Monday’s, they’re becoming a drag
Don’t keep me waiting up all night long.

Why don’t you use me, Before they use me up?

A lot’s gone missing since the breaking of day,
I’ve been driving for four days now.
I keep on asking what the doctor would say,
I keep on choking, cos’ I’m too proud.

Why don’t you use me…

So if you see me in a couple of years
Why don’t you ask me if I’m alright?
All I’m hoping is a couple of beers.
Why don’t you join me, or stand aside?

Why don’t you use me…
