So I wait for you to come
But you don’t know the way
No you don’t know the way
So I wait
So I Wait
And I wait for you to call
But you don’t know the number
that you dial to get to me
So I wait
So I wait
Well I’ll wait for you forever
Cause I know we’re supposed to be together
So I wait
So I wait
And I wait to see your face
But you turned the other way
You turned the other way
So I wait
So I wait
And I wait; I wait to hear you say
That I want you and I’m yours
I want you and I’m yours
So I wait
So I wait
Well I’ll wait for you forever
Cause I know we’re supposed to be together
So I wait
So I wait
So I wait for you to come
But you don’t know the way
No you don’t know the way
So I wait
So I Wait
And I wait for you to call
But you don’t know the number
that you dial to get to me
So I wait
So I wait
Well I’ll wait for you forever
Cause I know we’re supposed to be together
So I wait
So I wait
Don’t make me wait forever
Cause I know we’re supposed to be together
So I wait
So I wait
So I wait
So I wait

Before We Go

One day we took a walk
and on the sidewalk I saw chalk
that said 'the world is gonna end in seven days'
And I said that really is too bad
but boy what fun we had
and if it's true what should we do
before we go
Let's buy an aeroplane and fly until we want to stop
let's climb a mountain, but a small one so we make it to the top
I think I'd like to learn to breakdance, just 'cause I think it'd be fun
and you could finish all the things that you had finally begun
One day we took a walk
and on the sidewalk I saw chalk
that said 'the world is gonna end in seven days'
And I said that really is too bad
but boy what fun we had
and if it's true what should we do
before we go
I'd like to solve a rubix cube just once, just to prove I could to you
and we could move onto an island like we always wanted to
let's parasail the ocean with wetsuits under our clothes
and we can spend the last day you and me, in a place where no one knows

Mexico

Why'd you leave me why'd you go
When you said that you loved me so
I hope you drink the water down in Mexico
Oh why did you leave me why'd you go
You left me blind and you left me cold
You left me here alone to grow old
You never should have told me what you didn't know
Oh why did you leave me why'd you go
Why'd you go
You always said that you were mine
Just before a glass of wine
But you left before I could say what was on my mind
Just before a glass of wine
So what it was I guess we'll see
We'll see just what you meant to me
Guess that you'll be just another memory
Just another memory
Memory
Why'd you leave me why'd you go
When you said that you loved me so
I hope you drink the water down in Mexico
Oh why did you leave me why'd you go
You left me blind and you left me cold
You left me here alone to grow old
You never should have told me what you didn't know
Oh why did you leave me why'd you go

For Tonight

I do not love you but I want you to be my baby
I do not love you but I want you to be mine
I do not love you but I want you to be my baby
I do not love you but I want to make you mine for tonight
You were the one who picked me up when I was down
You were the one who made me feel I was alright
You were the one who picked me up when I was down
You are the one I want to be with but just for tonight
So take my hand and lead me home, but don't ask why
Just take my hand and hold it tight
Take my hand and lead me home, but don't ask why
Just take my hand and lead me home but just for tonight

It's You
03:02

I just want you to know it’s you that I adore
I just want you to know it’s you I love
I just want you to know that I’m never gonna let you go
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You
I want to hold you close when you’re far away from home
I want to hold you close when you are near
I want to hold you close so I don’t ever have to let you go
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You
I love the way our bodies fit together
And I love the way you talk about forever
I love the way you hold me like you’re never gonna let me go
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You
It’s You, It’s You, It’s You

At the Bus Stop
03:31
|

|
Well I saw you at the bus stop
You were wearing my old shoes
And so I asked you where you goin
And you said ‘I hate to choose’
So I ride
Down the street about a half a mile
So I ride
And I don’t know why
We were walkin down the sidewalk
And you said it’s been awhile
I don’t remember how it ended
Just the way you made me smile
So I lied
And I told you I was over you
So I lied
Now I don’t know what to do
Don’t say another word
Every thing you’ve said
Oh, baby, I have heard
If you want to be in love again I know you’ll be
Happy in the end, but oh
Your love was not made for me
Well we walked back to the corner
And we both know what’s ahead
Though we could talk for miles and miles
Nearly everything’s been said
So I tried
To walk away but I came back to you
So I tried
I still don’t know just what to do
Well I saw you at the bus stop
You were wearing my old shoes
And so I asked you where you goin
And you said you hate to choose

Practice For You
03:06

All of the others they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well I thought I loved the others, but they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well you picked me up from off the ground
Where I thought I'd made my home
You put out your hand, lifted me up and then you said
No one should be alone
All of the others they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well I thought I loved the others, but they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well you put an end to my strains of regret
And I had my fair share, you know
But I put it all behind me
I never thought you'd find me
Now I'm not looking back anymore
Cause all of the others they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well I thought I loved the others, but they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well you may think I sing this song
For any guy who comes along
Who tells me that I'm pretty and he tells me that he won't
But you're gonna have to hear me when you tell me that I don't
Cause all of the others they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love
Well I thought I loved the others, but they were practice for you
Practice for you, my love

Excuses
05:08
|

|
I went looking for an answer, but all that I found
Was a big book of excuses, just lying on the ground
So I picked it up and read them and I quickly came to see
That the problem is within you, it’s nothing to do with me
So run, run away
Do what you have to do
But you know that when your
Problems are within they’ll follow you
They’ll follow you
I went looking for the right way To tell you how I feel
But the right way seemed to desperate
And the wrong way seemed to real
So I kept it all inside me as I watched you walk away
It’s not my fault that you’re lonely, it was you who didn’t stay
So run, run away
Do what you have to do
But you know that when your
Problems are within they’ll follow you
They’ll follow you

Square One
02:44

They call me chic, but I want to be beautiful
They call me honest, but I want to tell a lie
They call me dull, but I want to make your heart go
Oh
They call me shy, but I want to be a mystery
They call me slow, but I want to take my time
They call me crazy, but I want to make your heart go
Oh
They call me brave, but they don't know that I'm terrified
They call me strong cause I don't let 'em see me cry
They call me hopeless, but I want to make your heart go
Oh
They call me simple and that's just the way I want to be
They call me okay, but I would rather be fine
They call me busy, but I want to make your heart go
Oh

Take It Easy
03:03
|
|||
|
Put down the gun it doesn't work right anyway
No one is out to get you take a breath and walk away
Take it easy
Please keep it down, I think they'll hear you down the hall
I know you don't mean any harm, but they won't care for it at all
Take it easy
There was a time I never thought we'd make it through
The sky was always cloudy and the water was never blue
Take it easy
Don't say a word, I need to think and so should you
I just want to make you happy, but you make it so hard to do
Take it easy
