life is short

are you receiving?  our signal is clear - no more deceiving, the truth is so near
do everyting that you always think and dream and talk about - go for the things that you always thought you'd have to live without
life is short, play hard - the offer's good for a limited time
life is short, play hard - you can run, but you cannot hide
choose a direction, just make up your mind - the best of intentions will leave you behind
do everyting that you always think and dream and talk about - go for the things that you always thought you'd have to live without
life is short, play hard - the offer's good for a limited time
life is short, play hard - you can run, but you cannot hide
you run away, but you won't get far
you could live for today, but you run away

i will be there

lonely boy, hauntingly familiar, whispers from the mirror, this could be the day
today could be the day I find her - the one to remind her there's no other way
but she thinks of herself of above me - she thinks she could never love me - cause I am not like her
i will be there when her love comes back around
i will be there whenever she wants me
another day, and another lonely evening - one more night of dreaming - i sleep alone tonight
i die a thousand times before sunrise, searching there for her eyes - only she can make it right
but she thinks of herself of above me - she thinks she could never love me - cause I am not like her

don't go

wide awake - sleep is out of reach - i've been up all night
i know something's desperately wrong here - and i just wanna make it right
girl, i see - something's building a wall between us
i can't make it alone girl - reach out your hands and help me tear it down
don't go - where you gonn run to now - who, this time?
don't go - i'll stand beside you - no need to run and hide
i could see something in your eyes - i've seen that look before
and i don't care whatever secret you're hiding that keeps you running for the door
girl, i knowyou've got a million reasons to run away
but as i stand here before you - look at me - i'm just one reason to stay

tonight

if you could read my mind, you would see forever
love can never die, not when we're together now
you've seen it all before - but i'm here at your door
in my eyes, there's no disguise - i won't run anymore
tonight, i leave the world behind me - had enough of closing doors and closing eyes
tonight, with you here beside me - i would never leave your side tonight
i can hear your voice - its been haunting me
there is just one choice - this love was meant to be
here, within my hands - our future plans
come with me, you'll finally see - finally understantd
tonight, i leave the world behind me - had enough of closing doors and closing eyes
tonight, with you here beside me - i would never leave your side tonight
i come around your door - i don't want to live without your love forever more

need your love

late in the evening, i need your love
gotta send you a wire - its you i'm dreaming of
early in the morning, and in the afternoon
baby i'll come running, just to get to you
i need your love
over and over, i'm gonna prove my love
gonna bring you the fire from the stars above
and i'll do anything girl, but i'll never say 'no'
come and whisper in your ear - keep you coming back for more
i need your love - your love and affection is my intention
you can say that you can't decide girl, but you know its true
you should say that you should be mine girl - and that you want me to
you got me all wound up, girl
better make your mind up, girl
i need your love

wildest dreams

i've been thinking, really thinking - about you and me loving - girl, i know we're on to something
don't you think we ought to get it together
i've been ready to touch your body, you've got me down on my knees - girl you know i'm eager to please
girl, i think that we could make it forever - now close your eyes
in your wildest dreams - let my love enfold you
listen baby, you drive me crazy - got me shaking all the time - girl i wanna make you mind
can't you feel the heat getting higher?
tell you something, i feel you coming - you got my sense working overtime - all the time
think its time we set this thing on fire - now close your eyes
in your wildest dreams - let my love enfold you
in your wildest dreams - i would live to hold you

the one

tell myself keep running faster, running longer, running harder
feel like i'm headed for disaster - better get stronger, get smarter
there's something just around the corner - i can feel it, i can taste it
get outta my way, i'd better warn you - won't conceal it, never gonna waste it
i am the one - the one and only
don't know what  you want from me, but here comes a little more
i am the one - the one and only
check it out - i got the money, got the feeling, got the power
not a doubt i need more money - hit the ceiling - man of the hour
everyday i'm always running up the ladder, climbing higher
on my way, i'll tell you something - drop the hammer - gona start a fire

never surrender

on the road to nowhere - come on along and we'll see it together - going nowhere
something's out there somewhere - come take my hand and we'll find it together - out there somewhere
you can tell by the look in our eyes, that its now or its never
someday soon they will all realize we will never surrender
up ahead in the distance there's a shimmering light, and it calls out my name - moving forward
past all resistance - on into the night, and it can't be the same, spiraling inward
