Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name falling off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
 
Every Saturday night I come alive for you, baby
Santa Monica, I'm racing in the lights for you, baby
I drive fast, radio blares, have to touch myself to pretend you're there
Your hands were on my hips, your name is on my lips
Over over again, like my only prayer
 
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
 
Well I'm so far away
Steps that I take on my way home
A kings random in dimes I give each night
To see through this pay phone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
'Til the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby blind love is true

I wanna lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
 
Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass while listenin' to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, "Darling, you look perfect tonight"
 
Hold that thought, don't let me go
We can dance beneath the fireflies on an empty road
It's a shame how a memory fades to grey
We let love get lost in anger, chasing yesterday

Find me a place, where the sun shines through the rain
Find me the pleasure in the pain
While the song remains the same, let it go on and on and on
 
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
 
No I'm not the man I used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
If my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside
 
A war's being waged and the world's just a stage (in this city)
The real estate's prime, the number plates rhyme (liquidity)
Wear a gun and be proud, but bare breasts aren't allowed (in this city)
Dream up a scam and then rake in the clams (liquidity)
 
Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on my floor
She said, "Come, baby, you got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above", because
 
My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by
And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night
And the questions and thousands take flight

My love is a-miles in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark
And it's you once again
 
Ice, your only rivers run cold
These city lights, they shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal

Walk on by, walk on through
Walk 'til you run and don't look back
For here I am
 
Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All on that day

Well got to run to the rock
Please hide me, I run to the rock
Please hide me, I run to the rock
Please hide me Lord
All on that day
 
Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey, if I get restless
Baby, you're not that kind.

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh, honey, when you knocked on my door
Ooh, I gave you my key.
 
Your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust
In what we're feeling
If you trust in true love and you trust in time
If you trust in forever, trust this heart of mine
We could lose ourselves, just like lovers do
If you trust in me like I trust in you
Trust in me like I trust in you

Too many people have been let down
By broken promises on rocky ground
And there's cracks in the pavement I don't wanna fall through
Hold on to me and I'll hold on to you
