Waiting for the last time
For my friend to change my mind
Waiting for the last drop
Seems like a long long time
Maybe I should go back home
I'll sit and wait right by the phone
Praying over the porcelain throne
On my dirty sticky floor

Ask me what I want
Easy that's just more
How long will I wait for you
Twice as long as I did before
Standing in the freezing snow
Maybe you left I just don't know
I'll soon be lying on my own
On some dirty sticky floor

I hope no one can see me
The tin man says I'm doing fine
That lion ain't gonna get me
See that gun right there it's mine
I've painted a face where I burnt the floor
Now the face has become my devil's door
Laying in the back room
On my dirty sticky floor

On my dirty sticky

You keep sending me all these things
I'm learning how to smile
You keep sending me all these things
I think I'll stay a while

Tried to talk to you in my dream
You looked at me and smiled
Your smile said to me
I'll have to wait a while
I have to wait a while

Hold on - you opened my eyes today
Hold on - another surprise

You keep giving me all these things
I see them in your smile
You keep giving me all these things
I think I'll stay a while

I guess I'll stay a while

Hold on - you opened my eyes today
Hold on - another surprise

All alone and bitter
All alone and mad
All alone with someone
And I should be so glad

All alone and twisted
All alone and bad
Won't you come and fix it
I really feel quite sad

A little piece of you
A little piece of me
A little piece of God
Is what you gave to me

And all my wishes
Have come true
I know without a doubt
When I look at you

When I trust in you
If you can trust in me
Maybe someday
We can all be free

He's like a king without a crown
He wears it like a clown
Watch him disappear
I wish he would come down
So call before you drown
I won't always be around

He's a ship without a sail
He's not listening when you speak
Living for the bottle
He'll be sitting there all week
So call before you drown
I won't always be around

Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
There's no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jumped right out his skin
He'll take you for a ride
Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
So call before you drown
I won't always be around

He's a dog without a bite
Still looking for a fight
All in black

I'm back in the room with the two way door
I don't know where it is sure been there before
The thoughts in my head I just can't describe
They're too insane all outside

All my apologies have been used up
All my words are not enough
I'm asking you on my knees
Look inside me I'm black and blue again
Black and blue again

Do you remember we were such good friends
Now we're back in the ring fighting again
The taste that's in my mouth you see
It's not very nice screaming at you
There's tears in your eyes

I'm not very nice
You see I'm not very nice
You said I'm not very nice
You know I'm not very nice

She's softly breathing next to me
A shining angel sent to me
From where she came it's hard to say
Tiny star she guides my way

When we were lovers
We both discovered
Stay, you can leave tomorrow
Stay wait until tomorrow
Please stay

Living here in shades of grey
Colour she light a reason to stay
From where she came it's hard to stay
Tiny star she guides my way

I need you
I need you
I need you
I need you

I'm asking my friend I need you again
Can you do something for me
Time it just passed and we had some laughs
Maybe it's just about greed

You'll always need me much more
Than I need you
You'll always need me much more
I need you

I'll ask you again but I don't think you've changed
You never did nothing for me
I wonder sometimes if you're looking down
On everything that you see

With all of your gold stories all told
Some things just aren't meant to be
You live in the past shadows don't last
This time it's all about me

Days long gone
And lost hot nights
No crowded streets to walk tonight
Still the stars shine so bright
Don't need a coat I'll be alright

Then you walked into my life
Halo bright with dark brown eyes
Just standing in her light
Remembered love again that night

Bitter apple take a bite
(It's kind of wonderful)
Fallen star you're mine tonight
(Strange but beautiful)
Bitter apple take my life
(It's kind of wonderful)
If I close my eyes you're mine tonight
Tonight

We laughed so hard it caused some pain
Two strangers standing in the rain
We smoked our cigarettes
(It's kind of wonderful)
Exchanging our regrets
(Strange but beautiful)

Behind the door a secret place
A hidden house you see
A place where you imagine
Just how life could be
In your head you've made your bed
You sleep alone you see
The person in the mirror can't be me

That's alright you say that's life
It's alright you saved my life
Hold my hand, close your eyes, understand

Inside each man a frightened lamb
Who hides beneath the sheets
Waiting for a chance to just be free
Behind the masks try to last
Another day or week
A perfect life laid in front of me

Come with me let's walk
Close your eyes let's talk

My love

It isn't very hard to see from where I stand
There's no one to blame
I opened up my eyes to see a world
With so much pleasure not pain
As she looked into my eyes
I knew I might not see her again
We're changing and it's hard for me
To stay the same

She, answers all the questions
Things I find so very hard to say
She, as I closed my eyes
I heard her whisper goodbye
All these questions that I'm asking
Feel very foolish anyway, goodbye
As I turned the corner I heard her whisper again
Goodbye is what she said

I loved her from the first time we kissed
She taste so great
She lit another candle and slowly
Fell into the flame

She, answers all the questions
Things I find so very hard to say
She, as I closed my eyes
I heard her whisper goodbye
All these questions that I'm asking
Feel very foolish anyway, goodbye
As I turned the corner I heard her whisper again
Goodbye is what she said
