IN THESE TIMES

(Venice)

In these times
And all these changes
There's one thing I know is true
In these times
Through all our changes
I'll always love you

Yes, in these times
And all these changes
I'll always love you

 



LAY ME DOWN

(Venice)

(And on the day we met)
I was young, I was so hungry and naïve
(I never will forget)
And when you spoke, I wanted so much to believe

You held my ticket in your hand

(You said, "I'll take you there")
Like a lover, like a schoolboy, I learned it all by heart
(You said you'd always care)
And when you left, the whole thing just tore me apart

Now you're comin' round again
Like you'd never gone
Did you think I would follow you home?

I don't wanna lay me down
What you want is mine
Never ever lay me down
Not a second time

(So now it's come to this)
And you're talkin', and you still give my head a ride
(But I don't want your kiss)
And you can't make me swallow my pride

Don't take me for a fool
Don't take me at all
'Cause I'm not gonna come when you call

CHORUS

BRIDGE

CHORUS

 

 

SOMETHING ELSE

(K. Lennon, M. Lennon, R. Sharp)

Here you are again, your head in your hands
Asking me to please help you understand
Something else
You tell me all the things you think it could be
But what I hear is something that sounds to me
Like something else

(I don't mind)
Being here for you night and day
(One more time)
Helping you with your getaway
All your crying tells me more than your words say

And there's something else
That we never talk about
Something that you may not want to hear
You tell yourself
That you're gonna work it out
Seems to me if you're still wondering
Maybe what you need is something else

You say a little trouble's all in the game
Nothing you can't handle, but I still claim
It's something else
And if you think a change would be a mistake
Maybe all that means is it's gonna take
Something else

(To make it right)
Being here for you night and day
(Day and night)
Helping you with your getaway
I've been trying to tell you more than my words say

CHORUS

Now there's something else
I think we should talk about
Something that I hope you want to hear
You tell yourself
That you're gonna work it out
Can't you see what I've been saying?
I've been there day out and day in
Maybe I could be your something else

 

 

THE MERMAID SONG

(K. Lennon, M. Lennon, R. Sharp)

Hold a seashell to your ear
And if you listen carefully
Above the ocean's roar, you'll hear
A strange and haunting melody

The secret music of the deep
A sound so sweet and high and long
It lulls the sailors fast asleep
The magic of the mermaid song

She sings from far beneath the waves
A sound so sweet and high and long
It draws the sailors to their graves
Enchanted by the mermaid song

 

 

I SWEAR

(Venice)

My world is so protected
Two feet are on the ground
All of the dots connected
This is the life I've found

It's like I'm running and I can't slow down
Sometimes I wanna turn it all around

Well, will I be there tomorrow?
And should I be here today?
So many words to swallow
So many words to say

Just when I'm something that I oughtta be
I get the feeling coming over me

I swear sometimes I wish I didn't know a soul
I swear sometimes I wish I didn't know a soul

No one to say they love me
There'll be nothing to make me cry
Nobody thinking of me
No more goodbyes

And when I'm losing it, I'm all alone
Nobody call me on the telephone
Sayin' "It's okay" and "It's alright"
But this is something that'll never be
'Cause I can never get away from me

CHORUS

It's like I'm running and I can't slow down
Sometimes I wanna turn it all around

CHORUS

 

 

CRAZY IN LOVE

(Venice)

All those times it happened to me
It wasn't really what I thought it should be
Whatever it was, I never could say it was love
Oh, love

Some kind of change has happened to me
Now it's even better than I thought it could be
I know what it is, I'm ready to say I'm in love
I'm crazy in love
I'm crazy in love

And I fell without even trying
Only this time I'm not lying
I'm flying
I'm crazy in love

I was lost in my own town
I didn't know it til the day I was found
Feels so right, and it may sound crazy
No more messing around
I'm in love
I'm crazy in love
So crazy in love

CHORUS

I was always saying that love was overrated
It all seemed the same to me
I never had enough love to see

CHORUS

 

 

WHEN I THINK OF YOU

(Venice)

When I think of you
I can last forever
When I think of me
I always think of you

Well, I'm holding out and holding on
To memories of us together
You're so far away, you're feeling scared
But miles could never come between us
So don't be afraid

CHORUS

When we're talking on the telephone
It's not the same as being near you
So I'm hanging up and heading home
To what I feel is love forever
Don't be afraid

CHORUS

 

 

BORN WITH HOPE

(Venice)

The breath I take, will it be safe and warm?
Or as cold as Northern Shores?
The arms I cling to, will they cling to me?
Or discard me to the floor?

I am another one
What is my fate?
Here comes those other ones
Will they be saved?

Will I be born into a place of riches?
Treasures all too great to count
Or born an angel, rising up to start again?
Just spread my wings to dry them out

'Cause I am another one
What is my fate?
Here comes those other ones
Will they be saved?

Always born with hope
Sometimes born with grace
Into this place

The curtain opens, spotlight hits my face
Though I've not rehearsed the lines
And will the music make the people cry?
I hope the critics will be kind

'Cause I am another one
What is my fate?
Here comes those other ones
Will they be saved?

CHORUS

 

 

ALL FALL TOGETHER

(Venice)

Some kind of danger
Bangin' down my door
And I can't change it
Like I did before
And I don't understand it
The way you twist my mind
Spinning 'round, 'round, 'round all the time

Some kind of somethin'
You turned out to be
Got to tell me just one thing
What you want from me
'Cause I don't understand it
When it feels so good
I wouldn't forget your face if I could

I have seen the truth in you

I don't wanna want you
I don't wanna need
You got me blind
So I can't find
The forest for the trees
I don't wanna want you
I just don't wanna bleed
Let it all fall together

But some kind of mercy
Ain't you got no shame?
Just a little bit of mercy
When you say my name
Because I don't understand it
I never play this way
But it all falls together anyway

I have seen the truth in you

CHORUS

 

 

HOT AND COLD

(Venice)

Sometimes you're kissing me, kissing me
By the light of the moon
Pulling me, pulling me
Make me come to you
Squeezing me, squeezing me
Like you used to do
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean

But then you're screaming and crying
'Till the lights go on
Shoving me, shoving me
'Till the break of dawn
The neighbors are calling
Still you go on and on
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean

Hot and cold
Why can't this temperature just stay the same
I don't need this
Hot and cold
My baby's only got the past to blame
I think you know what I mean

Sometimes you're tugging me, tugging me
'Till the lights go dim
Hugging me, hugging me
'Till I feel no sin
Loving me, loving me
Passion rushes in
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean

CHORUS

Then you start pushing me, pushing me
How'd it come to this?
Cursing me, cursing me
You just can't resist
Killing me, killing me
'Till I don't exist
I think you know what I mean
I think you know what I mean

 

 

THE TIMES YOU DID ME WRONG

(Venice)

I tried to think of all the times you made me smile
I tried to think of when you made me laugh
Wasn't there a moment when you put your hand in mine?
I couldn't find a single photograph

I even tried to think of all the times you made me strong
There must have been a time you made me feel that I belonged
But all that I remember are the times you did me wrong
All that I remember are the times you did me wrong

I tried to think of all good nights you kissed my face
Or good mornings when you did the same
It's sad to think of who it is who will take my place
Funny how these things they never change

I could've sworn the memories once were good but now they're gone
I tried to find some loving words to pour into this song
But all that I remember are the times you did me wrong
All that I remember are the times you did me wrong

All that I remember
Can't find nothing warm and tender
'Cause all that I remember are the times you did me wrong

You know, I told myself to leave you, but the days they lingered on
Then I found the strength to say I loved you and, "So long"
Now all that I remember are the times you did me wrong

CHORUS

 

 

THE OTHER SIDE

(Venice)

Two weeks gone, got a wall of stone
All around my heart
It keeps you out and it keeps me in
And it's keeping us apart
Beds aren't made, like the plans we laid
From another year
How I long for the sting of a telephone ring
And the silence hurts my ears

Tell me I'm not blind
Tell me what you find
On the other side

I wonder what it's like on the other side
Tell me what it's like on the other side
I wonder what it's like on the other side
Tell me what it's like on the other side
Talk to me

Three weeks gone and the wall of stone
Is a thousand miles high
It keeps you far and it keeps me near
And it's oh so hard to climb
Won't you send up a flare so I know you're there?
At least that you're alive
When you hear my name do you feel no flame?
Do you even wonder why?

CHORUS

 

 

TAKE ME FAR AWAY

(Venice)

Take from me my heart and soul, you see
There's nothing here for me
It's used me and made me bleed

Bury me, won't someone bury me?
Am I this kind of man
Who gives up easily?

So won't you take me far away from here
Where no one knows my name?
I'm tired of waking up in this land
Go ahead, do what you have to do
I'll let you lead the way
There's got to be a place for this man

Hold of me, won't someone take hold of me?
Rise up this fallen man
Rise up and make a stand
Part of me, where is this part of me
That keeps all my sanity
From breaking so easily?

CHORUS

Lead the way

 

 

NEVER GONNA BE THE SAME

(Venice)

I've been trying to pick up the pieces
Standing and listening to you
Missing you still
I don't think I will
Get over losing you

Now I know I can't go home again
'Cause it's a place where nobody stays
But I'll always save
The love that you gave me
Before you went away

Here comes another day without you
Don't know how long I'll feel this way
Life goes on since you've been gone
But it's never gonna be the same

Maybe I'll find out tomorrow
How to live without you around
And I'll carry on
Knowing you're gone
Will always bring me down

CHORUS

 

 

THIS PARTY’S OVER

(Venice)

This party's over
And this should come to you as no surprise
This party's over
Just when I picked you up and saw your eyes
You were standing there by the kitchen wall, now you're lying
And suddenly you realize
This party's over

This party's over
I've seen this look before a week ago
This party's over
You drink your drinks all night and watch you go
You'll be crying in your beer for Saturday's losses
'Till Sunday comes around in the morning and says
This party's over

You live only for the taking
Now you're hooked and can't be shaken
I've been cool, but I've been faking
Can't you see my heart you're breaking

CHORUS
