lyrics
tin roof rain
a warm breeze is gently blowing
'round a cabin miles outside of town
except for you and me there's no one
to watch the sun go down
when the night decides that summer
could use some rain to break the dry
we get inside beneath the covers
imagining the sky
we wish upon the stars
to stay right where we are
(chorus:)
listening to the tin roof rain
falling on the world outside
hoping it'll rain all night
and then all day
dreaming to the rhythm of
every little drop out there
i just want to stay right here
with the one i love
listening to the tin roof rain
a million angels on the ceiling
dance as we lose track of time
we're floating on the perfect feeling
of your skin on mine
the whole world disappears
there's only us right here
(repeat chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus)
listening to the tin roof rain...
the open door
life will throw stones, life will throw sticks
and when we get a little older we learn some tricks
like how to catch them and use them or step right around them instead
you and i know about the breaking of hearts
both ran an obstacle course to get to where we are
two sets of lovers and leavers on the road to the night we met
it's like running an endless race
'til everything falls in place
(chorus:)
every long goodbye, every lesson we learned
every dead end road, every bridge that got burned
every day we threw our hands in the air and said, "Why me, Lord?"
was all leading to this moment right here at the open door
there was a time when it wasn't so clear
had to give the emotions time to conquer fears
when the past and the future collide it's a knockdown fight
locked in a place with dark clouds in our eyes
it took us time to believe in clear blue skies
and that love can be effortless, destined and real and right
all of the ups and downs
everything makes sense now
(repeat chorus)
i'm stepping through to share my life with you
i can't wait to see how good life can be
for you and me
(repeat chorus)
leading to this moment right here
leading to this moment right here at the open door
at the open door
every long goodbye, every lesson we learned
every dead end road, every bridge that got burned
every long goodby, every lesson we learned
every dead end road, every bridge that got burned
always leaving
was it a week or two or was it years
that i spent with you back when you were here
like a field of snow at the end of the day
the heart grows cold as memories fade
maybe i can recall if i try hard enough
a time we had it all, thought we were in love
like a magic trick from a back row chair
still looks like it, when i look from there
i was so naive, i was lost in you
'til i came to see what i always knew
(chorus:)
you were always leaving
always moving on
you were always leaving
no surprise you'd end up gone
when i see you now--the stranger i know
i still think about the struggle letting go
like a gentle dream gone by morning's light
all that came before is lost in time
a heart consumed by wanderlust
laid the path for you, for both of us
(repeat chorus)
(gone) like the tears we cried, my friend
you don't belong here; you never did
(repeat chorus)
you were always leaving
always leaving...
rediscover me
pull out the winter coats and put the summer clothes in boxes
we've seen the weather change like this so many times
tonight let's light a fire and hold each other close
and talk into the latest hours of the night
hello stranger; how've you been since we last
left the world outside?
(chorus:)
rediscover me tonight
be the lover in my eyes
come remind me once again why i'm so thankful for this life
feel me melting in your warmth
heal yourself here in my arms
come and find what's rare and finally share
this renaissance of souls in harmony
rediscover me
until to embers turn the flames that light our way this evening
while time is standing still let's get back to the truth
with your skin touching mine we'll reconnect again
and all night long feel like only true loves do
hello old friend; nice to feel this warm,
familiar side of you
(repeat chorus)
oh, why do we wait so long in-between
when it feels like this every time you rediscover me
(final chorus:)
i'm so thankful for this life
feel me melting in your warmth
heal yourself here in my arms
come and find what's rare and finally share
this ranaissance of souls in harmony
rediscover me
rediscover me...
so romantic
under stars, up 'til two
after dancing on the air tonight with you
i can't sleep
heart and mind still floating in this mystery
i like this feeling
and what you do to me
(chorus:)
you make me feel so romantic
you make me feel so romantic
i can't stop, i can't run
watching as this sense of wonder overcomes
my old fears
on this natural course, elusive all these years
and what i'm feeling
has never been so clear
(repeat chorus)
i feel warm inside, i'm loving life and letting inhibitions go
it's strange and new, and holding you is gonna keep me feeling so romantic
(repeat chorus to fade)
love like strangers
we don't want to change our lives
every now and then we try
to find a little danger
some nights we love like strangers
take the wrong side of our bed
make believe that we just met
goodbye, i'll see you later
some nights we love like strangers
(chorus:)
just for a night, what's familiar
leaves wtih the setting sun
i turn out the light and uncover
a new side of the one
i love
no talk of the same old things
slip out of the wedding rings
it's time to rediscover
some nights we love like strangers
(repeat chorus, instr.)
a sweet, remembered morning kiss
says we'll always cherish this
one life we'll share forever
but some nights we love like strangers
some nights we love like strangers
this time
this time i want to get it right
this time i want some real romance
this time i want to let it breath just like i'm
taking my last chance
last time i tried to fool myself
last time i tried to run right in
this time i know the rules i need to follow
if i want to win
(chorus:)
this time i want to savor
every minute of every day
this time i want to wait to
make love to you 'til we feel that way
this time...
this life's seen too much passed right by
this life's been lived at breakneck speed
this time i've lived enough to know that something
rare's awaiting me
this time i feel no need to rush
this time the opposite is true
this time i'll cherish every moment of the
rest of life with you
(repeat chorus)
this time i feel so close to you
each time i feel your skin on mine
this night, baby i know
it's time
(repeat chorus)
mr. right
you don't know me
like i know you
don't know when that's gonna change
since i found you
i've been under your spell
and you don't even know my name
i've been searching
for a lifetime
wished on every star above
now i'm praying
i'm not suffering from
a case of unrequited love
on the one hand, what i'm feeling
could be real and you'll be feeling it soon
on the other hand, if i'm just dreaming
oh, what'll i do
if i never wake up with you
all these heartaches
i've collected
i'll just throw them all away
it's coming down to
one last gamble on love
i may win, who's to say
on the one hand, this emotion
could be strong, much too strong to be denied
on the other hand, i'm still just hoping
and oh, what'll i do
if i can't have you
you don't know me
like i know you
don't know when that's gonna change
since i found you
i've been under your spell
and you don't even know my name
so let me reintroduce myself
mr. right is my name
sugar
an ordinary day
it happens all the time
i'm staring into space
and then you cross my mind
i need the monkey off my back
it hits me like a heart attack
(chorus:)
i get a craving
for a
little
taste of
your sugar
sugar
whenever you're around
whenever i'm alone
i want you with me now
don't want to let you go
i get the shakes when you're not here
i feel a need to have you near
(repeat chorus)
some strong addiction's got some hooks in me
and when satisfaction comes it tastes so sweet
(repeat chorus to fade)
i want to live with you
i want to drive the natchez trace to the second waterfall sign
i want to spy that look on your face just like the one on mine
you loving your new place at my righthand side
i want to walk to the water's edge and wonder at the view
i want to watch the sunset with my arms wrapped 'round you
head home, climb into bed, make love the whole night through
(chorus:)
i want to live and i want to live with you
i want to live and i want to live with you
i want to fly to the south of greece, get lost for six whole months
find a deserted beach, just lie out in the sun
sing you a verse of "we've only just begun"
(repeat chorus, instr.)
i want to see you in my shirts on lazy saturdays
talk about the way we were when all our hair's gone gray
and die a happy man 'cause you made me that way
(repeat chorus to fade)
you move me
you move me
in ways i can't explain, what you do to me
it's brought about a change, you see right through me
to who i've always wished that i could be
you move me
you show me
what words could never tell, it's like you know me
more than i know myself, and when you hold me
the world is so much more than i believed
you show me
(chorus:)
you move me
in ways i've never moved before
you show me
a me i never knew before
you make me so much more
you make me
believe in life again, your spirit wakes me
and should this ever end, should you forsake me
i'm still forever changed by what i see
you make me
(repeat chorus, instr., repeat chorus)
you move me
sogni d'oro (dreams of gold)
in a little dive bar on the south side of town on a wednesday we meet
hours later you ask me my passions and i say music and honesty
and i'm thinking it's funny that i don't really believe that our souls carry memories from previous lives
but this seems to be the only explanation for the way mine is open to your green eyes
at some point in a long conversation we stop and we both take a breath
share a glance at my watch; we'd lost track of the time and both leave by ourselves
and i'm thinking i like it that you speak italian and taught me a phrase that's awakened my muse
so the two of us might drift until morning, inspired by you
(chorus:)
sogni d'oro, friend of old
until tomorrow, dreams of gold
maybe i should regret having met you at all; we know how this might end
one as special as you shouldn't risk being broken just to find a new friend
but i'm thinking that maybe it's possible now to begin something not knowing where it might lead
and the fact that i feel like we've done this before makes it easy for me
(repeat chorus)
sogni d'oro il mio amico carissimo
(repeat chorus)
dreams of gold...
something to prove
i've got a friend says the kind of love i want
only happens in the movies
i've got a plan to someday, somehow prove him wrong
yeah, i believe it's coming to me
got no evidence to back my supposition
but i'll keep the faith until the day i do
for anyone who thinks there's any question
i've got something to prove
i've got a past some say contradicts all this
say i'm a study in delusion
but they're wrong about that; in my heart i know that bliss
is the natural conclusion
got no evidence to show that i'm not crazy
but i'll stand this ground until the day i do
for everyone who'd sure like to believe me
i've got something to prove
i'll be here waiting
'til on some ordinary night
in a magic moment
i'll know in an instant i was right
got no evidence to back my supposition
but i'll keep the faith until the day i do
for anyone who thinks there's any question
i've got something to prove
i've got something to prove
straightjacket
every time i talk about it
every time i talk about feeling fine
people kind of look at me funny
like i've lost my mind
guess i maybe might avoid it
find another subject to discuss
but i keep going back to the topic
i'm obsessed with us
if that means i'm crazy
if that means i'm crazy
(chorus:)
put me in a straightjacket, lock me in a white room
let me throw my head back and scream out at the full moon
put me in a straightjacket, lock me in a white room
never put the key back into the lock; i love you
i know it's gonna take some doing
i know i'm gonna have to wait a long, long while
but every time i try to see another future
i see your smile
guess i maybe might be foolish
but how can i refuse my headstrong heart
it tells me what to do sometimes
that's just the way hearts are
if that means i'm crazy
if that means i'm crazy
(repeat chorus, instr.)
people think i'm crazy
if i'm really crazy...
(repeat chorus twice)
never put the key back into lock; i love you
never put the key back into the lock; i love you
mission to please
ain't 'bout me
gettin' satisfied
not gonna be
that kind of night
for all you've done
for all you do
until the sun comes up
it's all 'bout you
forget your day
and how long it's been
let's just lay
you back and begin
we got all night
i hope you're not too tired
'cause after i light these candles
gonna light your fire
(chorus:)
i'm on a mission to please you, baby, ease your mind
take your body back in time
to when love was something that could bring you to your knees
i'm on a mission to please
c'mon savor this
i pull your hair back
then i kiss your lips
ooh, then i kiss your neck
get you in the mood
and slowly kick it up
'til i give you every ounce of
my sweet love
(repeat chorus)
i want you to close your eyes and feel it baby
i want you to close your eyes and feel my love
(repeat chorus)
precious
two old souls
on a long road
always did know
we'd meet here at the end
in past lives
two loves died
on this night
faith is born again
with words exchanged as a single candle burns
we share what came from every lesson learned
(chorus:)
let's never, ever, ever take this for granted
forever, ever, ever we must cherish us
it's ever, ever, everything we've wanted
let's never, ever, ever forget it's precious
to hold bliss
we must know this
true grace lives
in every moment now
it's ours once
this fortune
this diamond
of true perfection found
so here we speak to the ones we shall become
this vow we'll keep until we both are gone
(repeat chorus, instr., repeat chorus)
let's never, ever, ever forget it's precious
love at dusk
(instrumental)
cry on my shoulder
when you find yourself alone on one more rainy night
tearing at the walls of solitude
when it seems that no one cares if you should live or die
i will come to your rescue
when your mind is lost in dark and endless reverie
and hope, like grains of sand, slips through your hands
when your spirit's broken, know that you can run to me
i'll be here and i will understand
(chorus:)
you cry on my shoulder 'til your eyes are dry
cry on my shoulder, baby anytime
when you're staring in the face of all your deepest fears
and feel like you've been left to die alone
when you're searching for a place to shed your silent tears
here with me you'll always find a home
(repeat chorus)
i am here to hold you
i am who i am
i am the one who's always loved you
cry on my shoulder
(repeat chorus to fade)
