Lyrics

1. WON'T GO THERE NO MORE

For the record I did everything I could
And I know that a change would do me good
It would

I better get away from the sound (away from the sound)
I gotta run before it brings me down
How 'bout you
Ya how 'bout you

I don't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I don't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I don't go there

In a way it's like a wave crashing over me
To get away is the only chance i see
For me

I knew the space could tear us apart (tear us apart)
I did my best and it broke my heart
How 'bout you
Ya how 'bout you

I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there

Our memories won't bring down
There's no reason for this place
Time to search for higher ground
I said for higher ground

It's like an emotional wave slammin me
It's all we know or so it seems to be

How bout you
Baby how 'bout you

I hope to get away
Look at what you made me do
I won't go there

I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there no more (na na na na, na naaa)
I won't go there
I won't go there no more


2.TALK TO ME

Tell me everything you want
Tell me everything you need
And I won't judge where you've been
I won't judge the things you say
Cause I couldn't love you anymore than I do now
I'll give you hope my love
I'll show you how

When you can't go on
When you can't get free
When you think about loneliness
You Talk To Me

I always can't be beside you
But know that I'm still there
And I love you more and more
I just want to make that clear

When everything builds up
And still you feel let down
When you feel like you're goin' now where
I'll be around
When you can't go on
When you can't get free
When you think about giving up
You Talk To Me

Just know, I'm the one who cares
And trust can lead you anywhere

I watch you as you walk alone
I'm with you all the way
As you try and find your place
I'm with you everyday
Yeah the road is long
And it's the way of life
So lift up your head my love
It'll be all right

When you can't go on
When you can't get free
When you feel like you are going nowhere
You Talk To Me

When you can't go on
When you can't get free
When you feel like giving up
You Talk To Me
Haaa You Talk To Me


3. PARADISE

Paradise is what you are to me
And in my heart I know
This Love is meant to be
It's like a dream
Just to be with you
It's not a sacrifice cause no one else will do

"And I said ...Hey yea yeah
Hey yea yeah
I Love you more than truth
That only words can say
I say....Hey yea yeah
Hey yea yeah
I Love you more than truth
I Love you for always
I say..."

When the memory of doubt
Washes out to sea
When the truth is only words
Sometimes you let it be
And that's all right
It happens once or twice
Isn't it nice
To Love someone and feel it's Paradise
To know that everything is right

Paradise is what you are to me
And in this crazy world
It's in you that I believe
Cause your the one
As anyone could see
This is true Love
And Love is all we need

When the moment comes along
You never turn away
And I've been waiting all my life
I knew there come a day
And that's alright
It's happened once or twice
Isn't it nice
To Love someone and feel it's Paradise
To know that everything is right...


4. HOLIDAY

Well the super models in those magazines
They've been to places that I've never dreamed
Well they look so nice out on some sandy beach
But for me I've always found it out of reach

Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday

The hotel and life for me would be alright
We could always catch an early mornin' flight
As you treat yourself like in a movie scene
But its just another place I've never been

Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday

I call you up on your telephone
And leave a message there since your not home
I've got to go I've got to get away
Please come and take me on a holiday

Ooooooooo take me on a holiday

Last nite I dreamed I was in Sante Fe
And then went on a flight to San Jose
Well I know that you don't really like to fly
But to see the world maybe you'd like to try

Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Need a holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Holiday


5. I'LL GIVE YOU THAT

It don't matter where you're coming from,
It only matters to me what's been done,
And anyway, to tell you the truth,
I can't take it anymore.

The way it hurt, I can't take that,
And all I know is that I can't forget,
Everything that's been goin' on,
I can't stand it anymore.

And it's always the same,
You carry on and you play the same old games,
Same old games

You keep coming back, I'll give you that,
You keep coming back, I'll give you that.

You carry on like a child at play,
You're not happy unless you get your way,
I'm feeling empty, I'm telling you,
That I'm walking out that door.

It's too much trouble and I can't pretend,
And right now I want it all to end,
I have to find peace of mind,
I can't take this scene no more.

And now there's nothing to say,
For us it's over and I'll go my own way,
My own way.

You keep coming back, I'll give you that,
You keep coming back, I'll give you that.

Seems like all this hurt's a waste of time,
You go your way and I'll go mine.

You keep coming back, I'll give you that,
You keep coming back, I'll give you that,
You keep coming back, I'll give you that,
I'll give you that,
I'll give you that,
I'll give you that,
I'll give you that.


6. WISH I COULD SING

If I could serenade you,
The way that crooners do,
I sing of hope and trust,
A melody for you.

And I'd cruise around,
With the radio on,
And I'd hold my breath,
While I hold you in my arms.

I wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing.

I wouldn't want to lose,
Your love,
I wouldn't want to lose,
The way, I feel for you,

And if my voice could sing,
What my heart has to say,
Then you'd be mine forever,
Forever and a day.

Wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing.
To you
I wish I could sing,
Wish I could sing.
To you.

I wanna be the one that holds you,
I wanna show how much,
I care for you,
You know it's true.

I wanna be the one that holds you,
I wanna show how much,
I care for you,
You know it's true.

I wish I could walk that walk,
The way that lovers do,
Then I'd stroll the streets,
Arm in arm with you.

And I sing the sweetest song,
In perfect harmony,
And let the music flow,
'til I'm the only one you see.

I wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing,
To you.
I wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing,
To you.

I wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing,
I wish I could sing,
To you.

I wish I could sing,
To you.


7. LOOKING FOR A PLACE (We've Never Been)

Times of challenge fog our memory,
Looking forward never back to see,
Shadows dancing in the soul of dawn,
Pages written and the words are sung.
Eternal motion leads the way,
And so I say,

Ooooh everything is getting better,
Goin' somewhere that we've never seen,
'Cause nothing's gonna last forever,
Searching for a place we've never been.

In a world of possibilities,
There's no proof of immortality,
Facing consequences, you and I,
In a world where there's no compromise,
We look inside ourselves to find,
Like all mankind,

Ooooh everything is getting better,
Goin' somewhere that we've never seen,
'Cause nothing's gonna last forever,
Searching for a place we've never been.

In a world of outside change,
We still remain.

Ooooh everything is getting better,
Goin' somewhere that we've never seen,
'Cause nothing's gonna last forever,
Searching for a place we've never been.

Ooooh everything is getting better,
Goin' somewhere that we've never seen,
'Cause nothing's gonna last forever,
Searching for a place we've never been.


8. FALLING DOWN

He can't take it 'cause it's on the ground,
He can't touch it 'cause it's falling down,
He can't touch it 'cause it's on the ground,
He can't touch it 'cause it's falling down,

So you keep on, it's all you need,
The wishbone's coming and it's guaranteed,
You can't touch it 'cause it's on the ground,
He can't touch it 'cause it's fallin' down.

Search for morals and it's so unconsciously,
Pressed for knowledge, just another wannabe.
And it feels like it,
And it tastes like it,
And it smells like it does.

Man in the back says prepare to attack
I said the man in the back ain't coming back
The man in the back says prepare to attack
Say the man in the back, can't look back

Falling through the cracks in Portage,
Hanging on to an immoral calling,
And it looks like it
And it walks like it
And it talks like it does.

Falling down,
Feel like I'm falling,
Falling down,
Through a black hole,
Falling down,
There's no sense to it
Falling down.

Your money ain't counted and it don't mean nothin',
Cause there's nothin' comin' in a no risk zone,
Walk by the business and show him the key
I say walk and be that way

I said I guarantee you're thinking that it's all the same,
And everybody says that you can't go there,
Can't do nothin', but it's all right
My wishbone says be here tonight.

Falling down,
Feel like I'm falling,
Falling down,
Through a black hole,
Falling down,
There's no excuse for it

Falling down,
That's how I'm feeling,
Falling down,
Like I'm goin' down,
Falling down,
Feel like I'm losin',

Feel like I'm losin' ground,

Falling down,
Feel like I'm falling,
Falling down,
Through a black hole,
Falling down,
There's no excuse baby,
Down.


9. IN YOUR WORLD

People laughing
People hating
Violence brewing
Stillness waiting
Will you be able to read the signs

People laughing
People cheating
Streets are full of homeless sleeping
Will you be able to stop the crime

One day you'll be over your fears it will take time
Someday you'll be wearing your tears inside your smile

The sun will rise (in your world)
The moon will shine (in your world)
The years will go by (in your world)
You will be alright (in your world)

Children laughing
Children playing
TVs full of mindless sayings
Will you be able to hear them cry

Children watching
Children knowing
Not too sure of where their going
Will you able to give them time

One day you'll be over your fears it will take time
Someday you'll be wearing your tears inside your smile

The sun will rise (in your world)
The moon will shine (in your world)
The years will go by (in your world)
You will be alright

In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world
In your world


10. WON'T WALK THAT ROAD NO MORE

Don't ask me where I'm goin'
When I'm not sure where I've been
I know I've lost a lot
Gave without a thought
Believed in love again

And I don't have the answers
And the question still remains
Yes it hurts but even so
That's the way life goes
I could do without the pain

But I won't walk that road no more
Headed for a distant shore
I've been broken near in two
That's when love can do
And I won't walk that road no more

So how did things get crazy
Until the hurt was more than pain
You just die a little bit
So you can't get over it
And life will never be the same

And I've grown a little wiser
And should my heart be broke again
I know I'll never quit
That I'll get over it
I'll never throw my soul away

And I won't walk that road no more
Headed for that distant shore
I've been broken near in half
Scared myself to death
I won't walk that road no more

You just die a little bit
Feel you can't get over it
And life will never be the same
And I won't walk that road no more
Headed for that distant shore
I've been broken near in two
That's what love can do
And I won't walk that road no more


11. I AM A ROCK

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock, I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock, I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried
I am a rock, I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock, I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
