I Need You Tonight Simplify My Life Punch Drunk Crying Over You Once Upon A Time We Were Mad For Each Other Something Else You're So In The Past I Told You So I Want You Back Do You Still Love Me? I Was Wondering What It Would Be Like To Kiss You If You Wish To Be Loved

Between sleep and waking
Let my eyelids close
Felt as though I was sliding
Right out the window

Boom box outside on the street
Bass heavy pumping beat
Lets get dressed and go out there
Find out what its all about

I need, I need, I need, I need you tonight
I need, I need, I need, I need you tonight
I need, I need, I need, I need you tonight
I need you tonight

You need sleep but you can't sleep
Get out of bed and go to the window
Wanted to talk to you in the worse way
Thats when you're voicemail kicked in

I need, I need, and I need you tonight

Woke up in the morning
The rain's done, the air clear as glass
Feeling weirdly disembodied
But these feeling can't last

I need, I need, and I need you tonight

I blushed slightly and glanced sideways
It's been one of those days
Robes still hanging on a chair
With my slacks and shirt and underwear.

The doctor says I'm going to be all right
One diazepam should see me through the night
Urine stained boxer-shorts, lying on a king-size bed
From which I can barely raise my head

I want to
Simplify my life
My heart sank and I drank,
I want to simplify my life

Should I ring or just send flowers?
Once we'd talk for hours and hours.
You were mine - but that fell through.
But I can't stop thinking about you.

I want to
Simplify my life
And my heart sank,
And I drank,
I want to simplify my life

I won't rush into making any rash decisions.
Just lie here on these patterned cushions
Got a list of numbers to call when things go wrong
Or if someone dark and mysterious happens along

I want to
Simplify my life
And my heart sank,
And I drank,
I want to simplify my life

I want to simplify my life
I want to simplify my life
I want to simplify my life

I wonder, does she know
When she left me - it hurt me so
There'll never be, anyone else for me
Maybe I should plead insanity
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
No wonder I can't help but cry

What was, once was a treasure to hold?
Is now - just empty and cold?
Now I know, why sad hearts cry
She walked by - with the other guy
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
No wonder I can't help but cry

Your heart's a closed door.
Don't bother to knock no more
All the moments we shared together
Will follow me forever
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
No wonder I can't help but cry
No wonder I can't help but cry
No wonder I can't help but cry
No wonder I can't help but cry

The first day she left me
I didnt move from my chair
Told my friends shed be back
That I didnt care.
Hear someone crying in the street
Oh - it was me!
I who did not need love is crying over you

All have a million chances, to start anew
Got a funny feeling
You might be thinking of this too
Once there was a sweet time
When your heart was close to mine
I who did not need love is crying over you

Every thing we shut our eyes to
Defeats us in the end
When my face is a memory, I'll still be your friend.
What seems nasty and evil
Can have a sense of beauty too.
I who did not need love is crying over you.

Life moves on,
Whether we like it or not.
When you moved on
I didnt take it so hot
Looks like it'll be raining for quite some time
I who did not need love is crying over you

Got a pretty nice room here;
Radio and TV
Watching the neon signs,
Twirl suggestively
Nobody knows,
Nobody knows quite what to do
I who did not need love is crying over you

Already the day is cooling
Pretty soon it will be dark
Looking out the window
Kids playing Frisbee in the park
It's just a matter of time
Till she realizes that she's been blind
She laughs and calls me a clown
But what goes up must come down

And once upon a time we were mad for each other
Once upon a time
And once upon a time we were mad for each other
Once upon a time
Boy meets girl, Girl meets boy,
Boy meets girl, Girl meets boy,

And it all comes down to this
Might catch a flight to who knows where
And it all comes down to this
In the end you just don't care
And you were the sun and moon to me
And it all comes down to this
And you were the sun and moon to me
And it all comes down to this you were the sun and moon to me

And once upon a time we were mad for each other
Once upon a time
And once upon a time we were mad for each other
Once upon a time
Boy meets girl, Girl meets boy,
Boy meets girl, Girl meets boy

My mind retracts into itself
Try and think of something else
Basking in the televisions light,
Everything is much too bright

Try and think of something else

Thinking of her I softly sigh
Reliable sources say she has a new guy
I hate this living on my own
Must be someone I can telephone

Try and think of something else

Belly up, on the couch, beer in hand
Dishes unwashed, beds unmade
At a moment like this, I think of you
Must be something better to do

Try and think of something else

In the dim light of dawn
Sitting on the floor drinking green tea
No time to see in broad daylight
Streams full of stars, like skies at night

Try and think of something else

Love will leave you standing alone in the rain
Love can fill your heart with pain
I was a fool to think that you would last
And now you are so in the past

You're not the only girl in town
But you are the only one I want around
Thought that everything would be all right
And now you are so in the past

I even asked the God up above
I said hey God, what is this thing, called love?
Will I find it tonight, will it stay out of sight?
And now you are so in the past

Love will leave you standing alone in the rain
Love can fill your heart with pain
But the worlds big enough for angels and devils too
And now you are so in the past

Oh, the answers are all gone
Hopes that would keep us strong
The lights are going dim
Maybe its the mood I'm in
I'll come through somehow
Doesn't matter anyhow

Nothing's the same, as it used to be
But the stars will tell my story

Going to re-wire my heart,
She's torn it all apart,
Conditions change all the time
Kind hearts and a dirty mind
Where does this train go?
She'd say I told you so

Nothing's the same as it used to be
Oh but the stars will tell my story

Once you were my darling
And we loved to sing
And the night was long
Everything has turned out wrong
She set the price of the show
She said I told you so

Nothing's the same, as it used to be
But the stars will tell my story

I told you so
Where does this train go?
I told you so
Where does this train go?
Lips that forget to kiss
After the bliss
It's your face I no longer see
In front of me
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so

Oh you, you're lighter than air
You're lighter than something that isn't there
There's a vaccuum where you used to be
Or maybe that's a convenient fantasy?

How can there be nothing
Where there used to be something?
With you not around there's no up or down
Since you've gone away there's no night or day

I'm all right, I feel fine
Except I want you back, I want you back

Sat up late thinking I heard your voice
It was just the television and the white noise
So what am I supposed to say?
Keep in touch, keep putting your things away?

I'm all right. I feel fine
Except I want you back, I want you back

Voice breaks, like water on rocks
What is life, but a series of shocks?
But I still love her, yes I do
Save for breaking my heart in two

I'm all right, I feel fine
Except I want you back, I want you back
I'm all right, I feel fine
Except I want you back, I want you back
I feel fine and I want you back

Still dark when the plane touched down
So glad to be on the ground
And you, yeah, you've been laying low
Do you still love me, that's what I want to know

Clouds were piled up in the sky
Car keys pressed into my thigh
And I hurt, every place you can
I need you to understand, that's what I want to know

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
You're etched beneath my skin like a tattoo
Never dreamed this day would come
Really thought you'd be my only one

The key rattled in the lock
You seemed in a state of shock
And it reminded me of a long time ago
Do you still love me, that's what I want to know

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
You're etched beneath my skin like a tattoo
Never dreamed this day would come
Really thought you would be my only one

Looking at the ocean
Looking into the air
Once I'd believed anything was possible
Then I'd believed the world was impossible.
But now that Im older
I'm stuck between the two
And I was wondering
What it would be like to kiss you.

And I like my body
When it fits against yours
When I run my finger
Up and down your spine.
Bouncing a ball against a wall.
Everything feels new
And I was wondering
What it would be like to kiss you

The bird hangs perfect in mid-air
How does it stay up there?
Did not sleep last night
I wandered the empty streets till dawn
And she can be difficult
Constant and ever shifting too
And I was wondering 
What it would be like to kiss you

Too many things to remember and keep in my mind
Too many words
I'd rather be like the birds.
Yeah I'll sing, play my song for you,
And I was wondering
What it would be like to kiss you

I'd like to say I did it my way
But that line, belongs to someone else
Let others dwell on guilt and misery
Those songs mean nothing to me

If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love
If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love

You can give without loving
But you cannot love without giving
There are better things ahead
Than what we leave behind

If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love
If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love

And if you cheat someone
Then you cheat yourself too
And the only real failure
Is a failure to feel anything inside you?

If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love
If you wish to be loved
You've got to give love

If you wish to be loved
If you wish to be loved
If you wish to be loved
