1. IN YOUR EYES

Since you've been gone
And ever since you went away
It's hard to go on
And it's getting harder every day

I think of all the things that I've done wrong
I'll never understand what took so long
To see what you were feeling
But I still can't let you go

I can remember when you used to stand by me
And people would tell you
That we were never meant to be

I can take the words that they can say
For just another chance to make you stay
And have you believe me, that the feeling's still the same

I've seen the look in your eyes
And I'll get it back again
I feel the tears when you cry
Broken hearts were made to mend
I get a strength from inside
When I look into your eyes

I think of all the things that I've done wrong
I'll never understand what took so long
To see what she was feeling--what she's feeling
But I still can't let her go

I've made mistakes throughout my life
And I just can't take them back
Given the chance I would think twice
Going to let her know

I've seen the look in your eyes
And I'll get it back again
I feel the tears when you cry
Broken hearts were made to mend
I get a strength from inside
When I look into your eyes


2. LOCAL HEROES

Thinking about our younger days, when we would say
No one would ever get us down
We'd never touch the ground
Proving wrong the dis-believing people
We'd take it day by day
Making it play by play

Living off ambition, never was an imposition
We wouldn't compromise
You gotta realize
People gathered around and gave us reasons
They kept us holding on
We couldn't do any wrong

Every night I'd get that same old feeling
Knowing that I wouldn't feel this way again

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
People would stand in line
They didn't seem to mind

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
Only for just one day
We're gonna have our way

Playing in the different towns
Yeah, I'd steal the bed or you took the ground
We didn't really care
We got an even share
Friday night at closing time we'd be there
We'd share a drink or two
And then we'd play right through

Every night we'd get that same old feeling
Knowing that we wouldn't feel this way again

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
People would stand in line
They didn't seem to mind

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
Only for just one day
We're gonna have our way

Just Local Heroes, Thinking that you've got it made
Just Local Heroes

[Guitar Solo]

Thinking about our younger days, now some would say
That I just can't keep holding on
To a dream thats gone
No one can change the way I feel though
Many years long ago
Thats tomorrow

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
People would stand in line
They didn't seem to mind

Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
Only for just one day
We're gonna have our way

Just Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes
Just Local Heroes


3. ONE STEP BEHIND

Just idle conversation
Am I just passing time
Lack of communication
Should I even try

You always talk down to me
Like I'm not even there
Seems like you look right through me
Should I even care

Well I can't stop the way I've got to feel though
And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more
I keep on coming, just

ONE STEP BEHIND
And I'm gaining all the time
I'm just ONE STEP BEHIND
And I'll be here till your mine

It's been a long time coming
I'll need some peace of mind
Everytime I start my running
One step closer, two steps behind

But I can't stop the way I've got to feel though
And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more
I keep on coming, just

One Step Behind
And I'm gaining all the time
I'm just One Step Behind
And I'll be here till your mine

Just a misconception
To think that time would turn the tide
I found a new direction to get me there

I'm not complaining to ya
You've been ahead for much too long
Now I know I'm coming on

[Guitar solo]

Well I can't stop the way I've got to feel though
And I'm not turning back, won't take this life no more
I keep on coming

One Step Behind
I'm One Step Behind
And I'm gaining all the time

One Step Behind
And I'm gaining all the time
I'm just One Step Behind
And I'll be here till your mine


4. WALK AWAY

Everything that you want to say
May not be what he wants to hear
Isn't time that you break away
Things aren't always what they appear

And I know you're searching for something
And I know you've waited so long
Well baby I could tell you one thing
Take my hand and I'll help you be strong, just

Walk Away, don't think about tomorrow
Walk Away, Don't you ever look back
Walk Away , And things will get much better
Walk Away, Walk Away

Does he make you feel the way I make you feel
Is he closer to your heart
Do you imagine for the things that should be real
Must you always play that part, NO

Well don't put off until tomorrow
And don't you wait one more day
Well I would beg, steal or borrow
Just to have you and keep you from saying

Walk Away, Don't think about tomorrow
Walk Away, Don't you ever look back
Walk Away, And things will get much better
Walk Away, Walk Away

Can you feel it
It's time to let me know
Can't you see that
It's time to let him go
I've been waiting
And I've been holding on
Anticipating
For that moment you'll say that he'll be gone

( Guitar Solo )

There's a time to take action
And there's a time to explore
You can't deny this attraction
Now that it's time that you made up your mind
Will you take me and leave him behind
Give me a signal, give me a sign
You've got to

Walk Away, Don't think about tomorrow
Walk Away, Don't you ever look back
Walk Away, And things will get much better
Walk Away, Walk Away

Just Walk Away


5. FOREVER YOUNG

Simple dreams a simple life
To feel the dull edge of the knife
From looking to remember whens and used to be's
But we're not losing time
Cause we can be

Forever Young
We'll never lose the fight
Forever Young
We'll never lose the right
To be forever young

The years have come and passed away
Still we can live from day to day

I look into your eyes
And I can be

Forever Young
We'll never lose the fight
Forever Young
We'll never lose the right
Forever young Forever we will be
Forever young together you and me
We'll be forever

[Guitar Solo]

We won't compromise
For just a state of mind
Cause we can be

Forever Young
We'll never lose the fight
Forever Young
We'll never lose the right
Forever young Forever we will be
Forever young together you and me
We'll be forever


6. LOST LOVE

Girl, you used to be a good friend
But now you're just writing on the wall
I know we had a good time
But someone had to take a fall

You tore my heart from my hands
All I have left to say is

Goodbye, to a long lost love
Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight

I know there's a time and a reason
For promises made in the night

The love is going to end in a fight

You tore my heart from my hands
All I have left to say is

Goodbye, to a long lost love
Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight

[Guitar Solo]

There's a time for believing
The promises made in the night
We should have listened reason
We were holding on too tight

Goodbye, to a long lost love
Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight

Goodbye, to a long lost love
Goodbye, to a long lost love, I'm thinking of tonight


7. EYES OF A PRISONER

Lonely children,
Waiting for the night
Looking for reasons
If only to survive
Some runaways
Left behind to make their way
But you are the fortunate one
Who'll break the chains
And make them stay home

What do we see?
Looking in the eyes of those who'll never be
The same as you and me

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Is what you'll find
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Seem to be left behind

The angry city
We've reached the danger zone
A town without pity
A child without a home

What do they see?
Looking in our eyes can we pretend to be
Untouched by what we see?

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Is what you'll find
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Seem to be left behind

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
What are they searching for?
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
You know they're deserving more

Will they reach the light of day?
Will they make a better way?
Can we hold an open hand?
Will they understand?

[Guitar Solo]

Runaways
Left behind to make their way
What can we say
Are they criminals?
What is it wrong
Or do we know
How can we see, see it in

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Is what you'll find
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Seem to be left behind

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
What are they searching for?
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
You know they're deserving more

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Is what you'll find
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
Seem to be left behind

The Eyes Of a Prisoner
What are they searching for?
The Eyes Of a Prisoner
You know they're deserving more


8. BETTER LEFT UNSAID

Sometimes I talk too much
And sometimes I don't say enough
Some things are better left unsaid
You say what's on your mind
The way you tell the truth can be a crime
You're talking off the top of your head
It's just your fill of devotion
That keeps you saying the things you do
But baby I know

Some things are Better Left Unsaid
And better left alone
Some things are Better Left Unsaid
And better left alone

Some things you'll never find
No matter where you go or who you leave behind
You better look inside instead
Some things too hot to touch
You know you're wrong but you push your luck
Some things are better left unsaid

It's just your fill of emotion
That keeps you playing the games you do
But baby I know

Some things are Better Left Unsaid
And better left alone
Some things are Better Left Unsaid
And better left alone

In your heart beats confusion
And you're talking me down
But what do you know

[Guitar Solo]

Sometimes I talk too much
And sometimes I don't say enough
Some things are better left unsaid

Some things are better left unsaid
And better left alone
Some things are better left unsaid
You keep talking me down


9. LEFT TO BE ALONE

Faded pictures, photographs
Are all I have to keep you in my mind
Trying hard I'm Looking back
The memories that we had yet to find
This feeling thats come over me
Can only be, of the killing kind
I never thought I'd live to see
The best of me, could be left behind
So I wanted to let you know

We had dreams for the future
And there wasn't time for us to know
( Why'd you have to go? )
That it would be left to me
Left To Be Alone

So many things I tried to say
So many times the words got in the way
Now anger turns to lonliness
I can't forget the way you left
Now I can never let you know
How I missed you so

We had dreams for the future
And there wasn't time for us to know
( Why'd you have to go? )
That it would be left to me
Left To Be Alone

One step forward for me and two steps back
I'm learning to crawl again
Girl, I can't forget
Girl, I still hear your voice
Telling me leave here
I've got to let you know

We had dreams for the future
And there wasn't time for us to know
( Why'd you have to go? )
That it would be left to me
Left To Be Alone


10. HOLD ON

People coming from every which way
Seeing things they want to see
Gonna do the best to make a better me
Too much of this, too much of that
Take a number and stand in back
Close your mind and make you see what you want to see

I can remember when just feeling fine was not a crime
Now you've gotta have a reason
If you want the right to change your mind

Hold On, to what you're feeling
Hold On, cause I believe in
Fighting for what's right you've got to
Hold on

Raise your arms to your dependence
Place the blame on their descendents
You can label everything you don't understand
Everybody needs a point of view
They need something to hold on to
If there's strength in numbers then we're strong

I can remember when just feeling fine was not a crime
Now you've gotta have a reason
If you want the right to change your mind

Hold On, to what you're feeling
Hold On, cause I believe in
Fighting for what's right you've got to
Hold on

[Guitar Solo]

Listen to the voice inside of you
You can make the choice you want to do
And it'll come easier to understand

I can remember when just feeling fine was not a crime
Now you've gotta have a reason
If you want the right to change your mind

Hold On, to what you're feeling
Hold On, cause I believe in
Fighting for what's right you've got to
Hold on

Hold On


11. WAY BACK TO MY HEART

So many times I have wasted
So many times I've been wrong
Like a road thats been twisted
Left my heart cold as stone

Those days are gone
I must be strong
To walk alone through the night
Time slips away
I was not there
I'm searching for the morning light

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart

So many dreams I have chased them
To find the truth was so tough
I had my shot but I missed it
Cause dreams are never enough

Those days are gone
I must be strong
To walk alone through the night
Time slips away
I was not there
I'm searching for the morning light

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart

[Guitar Solo]

Those days are gone
I must be strong
To walk alone through the night
Time slips away
I was not there
I'm still searching

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart

I've got to find
My way back home
A way back to my heart


12. STRANGER THINGS

He drives alone, deserted highway
His broken heart is aching
The lights are on but no one's home
In the mirror, lies a reflection
No control and no direction
The face he sees is not his own

And this is the time when any change can take you by surprise
When dreams become reality

Stranger things can happen in the human mind
( In the human mind )
When the world is balanced on a jagged line
( On a jagged line )
Looking for a meaning
Afraid of what you'll find

She has a look, and you know that look
The game's already started
You're face to face and soul to soul
You make a move, and every move
You make remains its shadow
You try so hard to gain control

And this is the time when any change can take you by surprise
When dreams become reality

Stranger things can happen in the human mind
( In the human mind )
When the world is balanced on a jagged line
( On a jagged line )
Looking for a meaning
Afraid of what you'll find

[Guitar Solo]

Are you alone and are you breathing?
Are you alive and are you feeling?
Questions of the heart can take their toll

And this is the time when any change can take you by surprise
When dreams become reality

Stranger things can happen in the human mind
( In the human mind )
When the world is balanced on a jagged line
( On a jagged line )
Looking for a meaning
Afraid of what you'll find


13. STRONG LOVE

Dragging eyes
Empty rooms
All the voices end too soon
Communication
Breaking down
Every time I turn around

Your hands around my heart and soul
Just won't let me go

I won't give it up
Can't get enough
Won't give it up no more

It's a Strong Love
Strong enough to see us through
( Strong Love )
I keep hanging on to a
( Strong Love )
Every time I turn to you
( Strong Love )
And I do

Looking back
Not feeling bad
Remembering the times we had
Now things have changed
We're the same
You can't take this love away

Your hands around my heart and soul
Just won't let me go

I won't give it up
Can't get enough
Won't give it up no more

It's a Strong Love
Strong enough to see us through
( Strong Love )
I keep hanging on to a
( Strong Love )
Every time I turn to you
( Strong Love )
And I do

Realize, we feel the same
And time won't change our minds
No disguise
No compromise
Oh Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

It's a Strong Love
Strong enough to see us through
( Strong Love )
I keep hanging on to a
( Strong Love )
Every time I turn to you
( Strong Love )
And I do

It's a Strong Love
I don't know what I want
( Strong Love )
I don't know what I need
( Strong Love )
I know I'm coming back to you
( Strong Love )
I keep coming back to you


14. SECOND HAND PEOPLE

So we've traveled down this road before
We've done our time and paid our dues and more
And we wonder why
Would we change our minds
Would we do it all again
I think back to a time
When we were our only friends

Second hand people

You try so hard to be original
Just to find its all been said and done before
But you keep on trying
Soon there'll come a day
When we'll leave them all behind
Never have to say, that we are

Second hand people, we are
Second hand dreams we've had before
Second hand lives will be

So we've seen the top, we'll see the end
We've had our ups and downs and back again
And remember when
When we used to say
We're gonna be the first in line
Never come a day, that we are

Second hand people, we are
Second hand dreams we've had before
Second hand lives will be

Second hand people, we are
Second hand dreams we've had before
Second hand lives will be

And everything we've done I don't regret
Cause I know we'd do it all again
And we'll leave our mark so no one will forget

[Guitar Solo]

Second hand people, we are
Second hand dreams we've had before
Second hand lives will be

Second hand people, we are
Second hand dreams we've had before
Second hand lives will be

Second hand people
Second hand people
Second hand lives will be


15. SWEET YOUNG SINNER

Ready or not
Climb up on top
Any way you like it
You better give in
You know you can't win
Don't you try to fight it

She knows which way to go

Flesh to flesh
Skin to skin
Keep my body burning
Left to right
Up all night
Keeping me yearning
She can change my disposition
When she comes
I bet she's coming around again

Sweet Young Sinner ( Ohh much to young )
Sweet Young Sinner ( the woman I love to touch )
Sweet Young Sinner ( Ohh you keep me satisfied )
To the day I die

[Guitar Solo]

She can change my disposition
When she comes
I bet she's coming around again

Sweet Young Sinner ( Ohh much to young )
Sweet Young Sinner ( the woman I love to touch )
Sweet Young Sinner ( Ohh you keep me satisfied )
Sweet Young Sinner ( I'm gonna love you till the day I die )
Sweet Young Sinner ( I must get her )


16. GOLD BULLETS

She's coming on like a runaway train
Nothing to lose and all to gain
I feel the hurt, I feel the pain
Rushing through me like a hurricane

You wanna know how far she'll take you
But she won't tell
And if she lets you go
You know it's just as well

She's shooting Gold Bullets
Right through my heart
I'm never going down
Gold Bullets
Tearing me apart

If you give in, you'll never win
She'll never let you go

I ask her if she's coming home tonight
I never see her till the morning light
She's got an appetite you can't deny
You want the truth she gives you alibis

You wanna know how far she'll take you
But she won't tell
And if she lets you go
You know it's just as well

She's shooting Gold Bullets
Right through my heart
I'm never going down
Gold Bullets
Tearing me apart

If you give in, you'll never win
She'll never let you go

[Guitar Solo]

Let her go
Don't let her go
Let her go
Don't let her go

She's shooting Gold Bullets
Right through my heart
I'm never going down
Gold Bullets
Tearing me apart

She's shooting Gold Bullets
Right through my heart
I'm never going down
Gold Bullets
Tearing at my heart

If you give in, you'll never win
She'll never let you go
