Strange Paradise

i'm watching the way that the water falls
when you were shaking your hair
tapping your feet, you're my dancing queen
but you were dancing on air
if this is a dream, well don't wake me up
cause i wish i was there
it's a good one, it's a good one, it's a good one
if this is the way that it's got to be
to me it never made sense
i prefer a philosophy
to a white picket fence
but they say, the real world calls me now
so i sit at this desk
and wait for it, and wait for it, and wait for it
say hello to goodbye
the time never feels right
the hard days and long nights
it's a strange kind of paradise
i don't feel young but i don't feel old
i'm always stuck in between
never do what i want i just do what i'm told
i obey the machine
but that ain't a life, i don't feel so alive
if you know what i mean
so i drink one, and i drink one, and i drink one
say hello to goodbye
the time never feels right
the hard days and long nights
it's a strange kind of paradise
when you want to run
and you don't feel like waking up
when the days turn to nights
raise a toast to the sky
what's the point of a life
if you don't feel alive?
don't wait for it
don't wait for it
say hello to goodbye
the time never feels right
the hard days and long nights
it's a strange kind of paradise

Criminal

come kiss me in the shadows
come with me down the back roads
you can tell me all your innocent lies
our hearts are
tangled
twisted
mangled
love is,
a fire
it can burn you,
or ignite us
you're beautiful
but it's criminal
i know that i could never wait for you
and i need to know
is it just physical
how long am i supposed to wait for you
now i know this is the wrong place
i can't leave and i can't stay
but your words were so sweet and i was so tired
the steps that
i retrace
are backwards
and sideways
but your body
in my hands
feels like
a slow dance
you're beautiful
but it's criminal
i know that i could never wait for you
and i need to know
is it just physical
how long am i supposed to wait for you
we linger on
just walk away
cause i was gone
before i came, but
we're strangers in the same memories
clouded by our own chemistry
we're dancing down a dead end street
and i feel your heartbeat pull me in
you're beautiful
but it's criminal
i know that i could never wait for you
and i need to know
is it just physical
how long am i supposed to wait for you

The Fall

she's givin up
she already knows that it was too much
it's too much to carry
was goin strong
tired of feelin like she dont belong
she thought she'd be married
by now it seems
the worst of it all is the behind the scenes
and that's the way it goes
but it was hard enough
to stand by the fire and see me givin up
with her feet on the wire, she sang
on and on and on we wonder
when it all goes down
will we fall to the thunder
when the lights go out
can we find a way to make it
so that no one can take it from us
tell me, is this love?
now i know
sometimes it's hard but you dont need to go
you can talk to each other
but i was scared
i locked up in pride, i know it wasn't fair
i didn't want you to suffer
but now i'm losin her
and it feels like for good and i can feel the burn
i can feel my head spinnin
away from here
from all of the things i know i need to fear
i just want to call and say
on and on and on we wonder
when it all goes down
will we fall to the thunder
when the lights go out
can we find a way to make it
so that no one can take it from us
tell me, is this love?
to give it all
is it worth the fall?
is it worth the fall?
on and on and on we wonder
when it all goes down
will we fall to the thunder
when the lights go out
can we find a way to make it
so that no one can take it from us
tell me, is this love?
(on and on and on, is it worth the fall, is it worth the fall?)
is this love?
(on and on and on, is it worth the fall, is it worth the fall?)
