	maybe tomorrow so you say you want to trade trade places with me you say you want to see things the way that i see then you say you want to leave go far away from here this place isn't worth being it's so cold and insincere we don't need to do this now i need to get to sleep maybe in a while maybe tomorrow it will keep now you say you can't wait to find something real it's out there just waiting for you that much you can feel well, what about right here and now oh yeah and what about me maybe these trophies you are collecting are someone else's property we don't need to do this now i need to get to sleep maybe in a while maybe tomorrow it will keep you are only the ghost of a man that used to be you say that you are through and yes the proof is overwhelming anyone can tell it takes its toll a little more each day but i have seen your easy stride thru some things that blew me away we don't need to do this now i need to get to sleep maybe in a while maybe tomorrow it will keep maybe tomorrow it will keep maybe tomorrow it will keep like water can i take you somewhere with me somewhere you never been before it's okay to take my hand i will show you something new something just for you just wait here while i get the door for you don't be afraid we will leave here together follow me on the way we'll stop at the water's edge then i will kiss you lightly in the shallow end i will kiss you so profoundly as i feel your body next to mine like water you can purify me like peace you can ease my mind then we can take a little walk through the forest exchange favorite colors and favorite actors point out all our favorite flowers lie down together in the tall grass in the meadow i will kiss you so profoundly as i feel your body next to mine like water you can purify me like peace you can ease my mind we'll complete our days with a stroll in the moonlight just like in the old movies shot in black & white where the day never ended until the sun rose again i will lay here with you until then until then i will kiss you so profoundly as i feel your body next to mine like water you can purify me like peace you can ease my mind i gave it all to you i gave it all to you i wouldn't change a thing you make my nights alive you make my days dreams i gave it all to you i wouldn't change a thing i gave it all to you and i am glad i did in the end it is worth everything everything we did i gave it all to you and i am glad i did if there is ever a doubt just come to me hold on to me i'll be there i'll be there i'll be there i'll be there i gave it all to you i would do it again i would offer myself to the hunger within i gave it all to you and i would do it again i gave it all to you i wouldn't change a thing you make my nights alive you make my days dreams i gave it all to you i wouldn't change a thing i gave it all to you i wouldn't change a thing if there is ever a doubt just come to me hold on to me i'll be there i'll be there i'll be there i'll be there what you are doing you know you take me on some fairytale ride you know that most times i'll just let it slide i know i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve but that's no excuse for what you're doing to me - doing to me what you're doing to me what you are doing to me what you're doing to me you know you move me like the rain you pierce my armored skin you swim thru my veins and i know i take it all so literally but that's no excuse for what you're doing to me - doing to me what you're doing to me what you are doing to me what you're doing to me i can only hope and pray that this fairytale ends in some fairytalesque way and i can only bide the time counting minutes, days, and years that you are mine it's all so fine it's all so fine it's all so fine you know you mean an awful lot to me i know you are not the only star in the sky but you are the brightest star i see it would be nice if you stayed for a long while then i could really let these feelings shine let them shine and you know it's what you're doing to me it's what you are doing to me what you're doing to me it's what you are doing to me what you're doing to me it's what you are doing to me stupid angel stupid angel down on the ground have you fallen again stupid angel so out of bounds the only way out is to go further down into the flames they call your name into the flames stupid angel yes the sky is blue but it's turning grey just for you stupid angel say goodbye to the light of day a little darker and less brave you go into the flames they call your name into the flames this dirt was once clay dried up & blown away and although your tears they fell like the rain they were consumed by all your pain and although your tears they fell like the rain they were consumed by all your rage stupid angel you don't scare me with those eyes you know your own pain can tell you lies stupid angel burnt out from inside hanging out to close to the fire walking a tightrope of desire until you can not go any higher so you dive down into the flames they call your name into the flames they call your name into the flames they call your name into the flames they call your name into the flames you know they are calling your name and its such a shame but you go into the flames into the flames into the flames seems to me i can watch the sun rise in the morning and i can begin my day i can watch the moon rise at night and know it comes down the same way i could pretend you're staying with me as i watch you walk away i could pretend you're telling me the things i want you to say but it seems to me you are leaving me now it seems to me i don't know how you can stand it it seems to me you think you are strong somehow but you are wrong you belong here with me well differences come and differences go like the minutes on a clock hearts fade away i don't know why a flower would bloom and then die i could pretend you are looking for me every time you look away i could pretend you are loving me every time you see her face but it seems to me you are leaving me now it seems to me i don't know how you can stand it it seems to me you think you are strong somehow but you are wrong you belong here with me i think i have grown just a little more than i intended to i have come to the realization there is nothing left for me to do so it seems to me i am leaving you now it seems to me i don't know how you could do it it seems to me i am stronger now and how you were wrong you belonged here with me it seems to me i am leaving you now it seems to me i don't know how you could do it it seems to me i am stronger now and how you were wrong you belonged here with me all i can promise you can't be too cavalier in a plexi-glass world you can't believe every single little thing that you've heard you can't pull your favorite stars out of the night sky and you can't change the past no matter how damn hard you try if i could be the one to lead you down that road i'd take you by your pretty little hand and say let's get going but there are some places you've just got to go alone to come out stronger when its all said and done one day we'll find the right way to live one day we'll be more than we imagined one day we'll make our wishes come true one day is all i can promise you they'll say learn your lesson and keep you head out of the clouds i say take a nice long walk while the rain is pouring down wash away your minds debris and get your thoughts in line the road you choose today could lead someplace else this time one day we'll find the right way to live one day we'll be more than we imagined one day we'll make our wishes come true one day is all i can promise you when you find peace and an easy pace in your life you can be forever thankful and not think twice just remember the only things you should leave behind are the stress and the pain and the misery of a lesser time one day we'll find the right way to live one day we'll be more than we imagined one day we'll make our wishes come true one day is all i can promise you one day we'll find the right way to live one day we'll be more than we imagined one day we'll make our wishes come true one day is all i can promise you too precious people spend a lot of their lives trying to fit in say they don't understand what it takes to win look into their life they'll say things are looking dim they don't see any movement on their horizon faith is a powerful thing but can leave you wondering love is a masterpiece we gaze thru when we're in need inner strength doesn't come from some advertisement on tv and this moment is the only thing we are guaranteed it's too precious it's too real it's too precious for anyone not to feel it if you're wondering why we don't have the things we need well we're too busy filling up our lives with other things if we gazed deeper into our own insanity we'd see we keep too much but save nothing it's too precious it's too real it's too precious for anyone not to feel it now I know that change is no easy thing to do sometimes it works and sometimes it works against you but we can't leave things as they are today unless we want tomorrow to be the same way it's too precious it's too real it's too precious for anyone not to feel it all fall down we built this world we built this world to last this world we built can disappear just like that so many stalking so many on the prowl so many who would love to see it all fall down we built these lives we built these lives to last political & religious intolerance can end these lives just like that so many hating so many prejudice so many who would love to see it all fall down all fall down these loves we spend our lives trying to find are ripped torn & bloody from the palms of our hands so many angry so many obsessed so many who would love to see it all fall down all fall down each day we can count our lucky stars ourselves loved ones friends all still accounted for today we are safe but for the people who are not give an extra prayer for relief and love - relief and love so many angry so many obsessed so many hating so many prejudice so many stalking so many on the prowl so many who would love to see it all fall down all fall down don't let it all fall down don't let it all fall down don't let them win don't let them take it all away don't let them ruin what we hold close to our hearts show them we love well and we maintain control don't let their hatred turn into hatred of our own don't let it all fall down please don't let it all fall down what have i done they built the buildings under a blue sky they built the cities tall they tore down the trees until there were no trees left at all then one day they looked around they said oh lord, what have i done there's nothing left for us to look upon your creation is gone what have i done where has it all gone didn't we leave anything for the next generations to come there are one too many ways to die that do not naturally occur too many ways to kill off, i mean thin out the herds not many wolves around not many wild animals at all but claims they are overpopulated i don't know i keep seeing our own numbers grow what have i done what have i done where will it all be for the next generations to come what do we teach our children about what's to come when we give them so many violent toys won't they have enough problems to solve what do we show our elders when we can't respect the ones we say we love why do we make so many mistakes so we have something later to fix so we have something to say like what have i done what have i done didn't we leave anything for the next generations to come what have i done what have i done didn't we leave anything for the next generations to come why do we need to 2nd guess &recreate what we don't understand what we don't know should we shut off the moon if it shines too bright at night or turn the sun up if it gets too cold why do we need so many high priced restaurants when we can't feed the people in the street below i don't know about you but i've gotta conclude that i don't want to say it later i don't want to have to ask myself to calculate it what have i done what have i done what have i left here for the next generations to come what have i done (can you tell me this) what have i done (let me make my list) what have i left here, what have i effected what have i saved, what have i neglected what have i cared for or misplaced did i vote did i protest what did i fight for or against what have i believed in or denied freely given chose to hide have i told a truth or told a lie take the fence or take a side been full of shit or full of pride you really do decide to walk or take the ride but in my own defense i could have just followed along
