Living on silence
living by the book
you get it to a science
of living on one good look
so put out all the fires
and blow away the smoke
I'm getting pretty tired
of living on hope
so what about love, baby
what about making room for two
what about love, baby
what about you
Living on daydreams
walking in my sleep
and nothing is as it seems
when you're in so deep
so put out all the fires
and blow away the smoke
unless you're getting tired
of living on hope
so what about love, baby
what about making room for two
what about love, baby
what about you
so what about love, baby
what about making room for two
what about love, baby
what about you
what about you
what about you
what about me

There was a lesson I never learned
Oh, I wouldn't be warned
how many looks does it take
to read your mind oh, on your face?
Chorus:
Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? What in the world are you thinking of?
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Calling you up and over the phone
I hear, tell her I'm not at home
Are you afraid to see me crying,
or is it that you're just to used to lying
Chorus:
Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? What in the world are you thinking of?
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Chorus:
Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? I don't know what you're thinking of
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?
There's a lesson I'll never learn
ooh, I wouldn't be warned
I dive in deeper, and you've got colder
But I will not cry, oh one more [death comes to love]
Are you serious? Did you think I'd fall in love?
Are you serious? I don't know what you're thinking of
Are you serious? Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Verse 1:
You should take a walk
but its just the same wherever you go
you just wish the ghost was gone
So you make some calls
but its talking while you're wanting to go
you're just ringing phones for fun
You can always make a new excuse to cry
but you don't have to use it on yourself
Chorus:
So why spend your sadness now
save it up for me on Sunday
and why is lonely all you have
when love is what you'll find on Sunday
Verse 2:
You might guard your heart
but its awfully fun to have it broken
or at least to leave a bruise
It becomes an art
though the rules of which are rarely spoken
by the lucky ones who can choose
So your pain becomes another souvenir
and your souvenirs become your world
Chorus:
So why spend your sadness now
save it up for me on Sunday
and why is lonely all you have
when love is what you'll find on Sunday
Why spend your sadness now
save it up for me on Sunday
and why is lonely all you have
when love is what you'll find on Sunday

Verse 1:
I'd like to take her home
but no one walks where she does
she goes into the cold
wearing two unmatched gloves
Chorus:
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
And if I don't hold her up
will she just fall down?
Verse 2:
She says she feels fine
she says she feels right at home
but I can hear her cry
when I leave the room oh
Chorus:
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
And if I don't hold her up
will she just fall down?
Bridge:
Well, some essential part
is missing that I just can't replace
I know that these things are a matter of grace
Verse 3:
And on her birthday I'll
get a watch to keep her time
and I'll stay up with her
when she forgets to wind it
Is it that (a change of scene is all she needs)
Maybe it's (something she works out alone)
She says that (she only needs a change of heart)
Too bad that (parts alone are not enough)
And if I don't hold her up
and if I don't hold her up
and if I don't hold her up
will she just fall down?

Verse 1:
He was saying, 'You look like an angel.'
but you never really know what the hell to make of that
Take your pick 'cause it don't really matter
I get lonely when I hear it and sad when he takes it back
But all in all, another fall won't even make a dent
Chorus:
the world will turn, at least that's what they say
We'll crash and burn, it's hard to look away
That kind of thing is easier to say than do.
How about we break with tradition?
We'll pretend we're everything that you believe we're not
So he said, 'I guess I'll try, but on one condition.
Someone ought to let me know when it gets close to ten o'clock.'
But all in all, another fall won't even make a dent
Chorus:
the world will turn, at least that's what they say
We'll crash and burn, it's hard to look away
That kind of thing is easier to say than do.
But all in all, another fall won't even make a dent
Chorus:
the world will turn, at least that's what they say
We'll crash and burn, it's hard to look away
That kind of thing is easier to say than do.
Verse 3:
You keep saying that you're only human
What you mean is that you think you're the only human here
Still I think that it's just a rumour
and you might as well be taking it home as a souvenir.
How about we break with tradition?

We're so close but I just can't
ruin everything I ever planned
I've got no room for guilt this year
I'm trying hard to keep my conscience clear
and it's clear
but he knows just what he wants today
and I could just let it happen - yeah
the more I think the worse I guess
the more I guess the worse I am
(no, no, do not stay)
there's no such thing as lover's day
(run, run, run away)
there's no such thing as lover's day
I want to see him right up close
I want to find out everything he knows
but everything comes back to you
there's no way to betray and still be true
and it's true
but he knows just what he wants today
and I could just let it happen
the more I think the worse I guess
the more I guess the worse I am
(no, no, do not stay)
there's no such thing as lover's day
(run, run, run away)
there's no such thing as lover's day
(no, no, do not stay)
there's no such thing as lover's day
(run, run, run away)
there's no such thing as lover's day
there's no such thing as lover's day
there's no such thing as lover's day
there's no such thing as lover's day
there's no such thing
there's no such thing
there's no such thing as lover's day

Verse 1
You know just how I feel
you know when love is real
it changes the life that you're living
and now I've found it here
it overcomes my fear
of holding back instead of giving
but, when I hear the phone ring
your voice pulls me in 'til I'm far away
it's easy 'cause everything's different now
Chorus
Everything's different now
Seems long ago that our love was unknown
but it's just yesterday
Everything's different now
Everything's different now
and when I look in the mirror and talk to myself
I can't pretend it's the same
Verse 2
Well, soon I'll say your name
and then I'll go insane
I won't understand what I'm thinking
I'll look down at my shoes
I'll wonder what I'll lose
if I feel this consciousness sinking
and we both know what that means
returning to what we knew before
forgetting that everything's different now
Chorus
Everything's different now
Seems long ago that our love was unknown
but it's just yesterday
Everything's different now
Everything's different now
and when I look in the mirror and talk to myself
I can't pretend it's the same
Bridge
What we created
has separated
a past we hated
from what we are feeling today
'cause everything's different now
Chorus
Everything's different now
Seems long ago that our love was unknown
but it's just yesterday
Everything's different now
Everything's different now
and when I look in the mirror and talk to myself
I can't pretend it's the same
'cause everything's different now

Verse 1:
Just for the record
you ought to know that I love you
cause the damage that you've done
I know you still could do
So fun time is over
and I guess it's enough
oh but just for the record
it was a little to rough
All that night when I looked for you
without a word to say
knowing that I was looking through
the longest night the longest day
Chorus:
Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do
when you are taking every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking
Verse 2:
Tell me what love is or rather what you expected
because I've often wondered what you did not get
When all through the town I heard your heart beating wrong
I felt the sickness come on I knew that you were gone
So now I'm left with an empty bed
what a place to stay
saying things that were never said
through the longest night, the longest day
Chorus:
Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do
when you are taking every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking is the hardest thing to do
when you are taking every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking
sleeping and waking
sleeping and waking
makes the longest night
the longest night
the longest night
the longest day

Verse 1:
Same town as its ever been
if there's changes somewhere
they've occurred from within
Streets pass and hold up to me
every corner defined
by the places you'd be
Chorus:
but no one is watching you now
no one is watching you now
like I did
Verse 2:
Even the longest of days
you could make disappear
by the look on your face
We used to drive into town
and the eyes of the girls
followed you all around
Chorus:
but no one is watching you now
I know no one is watching you now
like I did
Bridge:
Forty-eight hours pass
and I'm longing to stay
Forty-eight hours pass
and watching you, watching you
is ages away
Verse 3:
Something has torn me apart
oh but what do I care
about watching my heart
I know that sadness bleeds through
and my sadness for me
is now sadness for you
Chorus:
cause no one is watching you now
I know no one is watching you now
No one is watching you now
like I did
. . .

Verse 1:
So I guess I'll give it up
yeah I guess I will
what's the use in pushing
when it's all uphill
Verse 2:
I can't be appointed
keeper of the flame
without two to carry
it won't burn the same - oh
It seems obvious to me
but then again
could be
you just never felt that way
Chorus
I wish you believed in life
believed in fate
believed you were lucky
and worth the wait
'cause life could be lovely
Life could be so great
Verse 3:
It gets so embarassing
so I acquiesce
and I'll change my mind again
you change your address - oh
It seems logical to me
but then again
could be I was simply not that smart
Chorus:
I thought you believed in life
believed in fate
believed you were lucky
and worth the wait
'cause life could be lovely
Life could be so great
Bridge:
There must be some other door that they are saving
behind which my happiness lies
I won't be wasting my words
to tell you hopes that I had
we can just leave it alone for now
Chorus:
I wish you: Belief in Life
Belief in Fate
Belief you are Lucky
and worth the wait
'cause life could be lovely
Life could be fucking great.
