Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind. A blue-eyed girl playin' in the sand. I'd been on her trail for a little while. But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand.
On the corner of Main Street. Just tryin' to keep it in line. You say you wanna move on and. You say I'm falling behind. . Can you read my mind?. Can you read my mind?.
I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine. Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?.
Oh Santa. I've been waiting on you. That's funny kid. Because I've been coming for you. . Oh Santa. I've been killing just for fun. Well the party's over kid.
Time it tells, living in my hometown. Wedding bells, they begin easy. Live it down, baby don't talk that much. Baby knows that baby don't tease me. In the park, we could go walking.
ohhhh ohhhh. It started with a low light. Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed. And then they took my blood type. . It left a strange impression in my head.
Breakin' my back just to know your name. Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game. A breakin' my back just to know your name. But heaven ain't close in a place like this.
Save some face, you know you've only got one. Change your ways while you're young. Boy, one day you'll be a man. Oh girl, he'll help you understand. .
Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools. To find our way home, to break in these bones. Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime). Once in a lifetime.
Comin' out of my cage. And I've been doin' just fine. Gotta gotta be down. Because I want it all. . It started out with a kiss. How did it end up like this?.
Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go. Got a new place and how it's so much better. Falling over myself, the television's on. I turn it off and smile.
Step out into the Indian dust. I can feel the cracks in my spirit. They're starting to bust. . Drive by your house, nobody's home. I'm trying to tell myself that I'm better off alone.
We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same. We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain. She said she loved me but she had somewhere to go. She couldn't scream while I held her close.
I did my best to notice. When the call came down the line. Up to the platform of surrender. I was brought, but I was kind. And sometimes I get nervous.
I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath. And one big step. I move a little bit closer.
I've gone through life white knuckle. In the moments that left me behind. Refusing to heed the yield. I penetrate the force field in the blind. They say I'll adjust.
I've gone through life white knuckled. In the moments that left me behind. Refusing to heed the yield. I penetrate the force field in the blind. They say I'll adjust.
No more trouble,. In this town.. Silent night, for a change.. . Brand new year,. Coming up ahead.. You know its been so long,. Since I rang one in?. .
We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars. We took a back road in my car. Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand. And in the ocean, we'll hold hands.
When there's nowhere else to run. Is there room for one more son?. One more son. If you can't hold on. . If you can't hold on, hold on. I wanna stand up, I wanna let go.
