Lyrics
U
Going back I can still remember all the dreams I had with you
The battles won had just begun for me for you
Of all the times that I recall being paralyzed by fear
I'd still wake up strong the darkness gone for and I'd wait for you
Fear was washing over me but you stil set me free
You you are the one you're everything that I could ever need
You're light shines down it keeps me warm
You're everything I need
Different times through my life I'd go back to that place
We'd fight the fight we'd win each night another face to face
Help me now because the last time just wasn't quite the same
No guiding light no win that night have I fallen from your grace
Now fear is washing over me oh won't you set me free
How much longer
You kept me warm and dry you gave me hope for such a long time
But then I looked away my thoughts were led astray
And when I turned I was some other guy
And I know time stands for no man and I know I'm no exception
But I'll wait for you wait for you every night and day
Wait for you how much longer must I wait for you
You stood by day and night and made the promise of some other time
But my life had moved on and you just dug in firm
I really thought we had broken the line
And I thought I'd finally moved on but now here I am again
Out of your mind
When your life spins out of control do you know where to go to refine it
Would you notice that you're spiraling down with your feet on the ground and your mind cleared
Can't you tell what's wrong from right
Tell me why do you do all the things that you do
When you wake up and your minds in a fog will you mentally flog all your memories
As you're cursing your lack of control do you swear that you'll know better next time
You know you ain't always right
Like the wind
I just called to tell you goodbye the time has come and I really must fly
But something you said is making it hard for me to leave you
It's flowing through my blood this love for you and contradicting all that I must do
Cause I'm like the wind
Take all that you have from me I don't want to be reminded of you
I just want to be on my way and do what I must you know it's my instinct that I must leave here
I don't even have a reason why and please don't ask me why I am like the wind
The nights that we spent together keep flashing back in side of my head
And I remember all the empty promises we made to each other I'm wondering why we lived the lies
I almost believed them until the end when I became
Like the wind I will fly away the time grows nearer every with passing day
Don't try to control me 'cause I'll just fly away like the wind
Flying through my memories trying to figure which ones stand out in my head
And it seems to be you clouding all my thoughts and should I have stayed
I know it's my nature to run away but now I'm doubting that I should end like the wind
You ask me what I'd do now that I'm confused if all the love went away
So I sat and thought all by myself and this is what I'd say
In this situation I'd run away
Gloria
It feels like yesterday but at the same time like a lifetime that you and I have shared
We sailed to lofty heights and sank to lowly depths and times like those should make you close
Though in you it don't seem they have
And my memories come rushing back to me
Though bittersweet It seems they're not as sweet as they used to be
Gloria I have my fences I have my pride when I looked/turned/to you you turned away
Gloria to hear your name/voice used to sound so sweet now you're memories they cause such pain/
I wash away
Driving down that road I see all the traffic signs they make you blind don't know which way to go
And in my mind I hear the voice I've always heard "be careful boy for what you wish
Cause you don't know what it holds"
And all I know is reach for bigger better things
And I thought that was you but for you it's "what have you done today?"
Once I dreamed of us in older days but time wears on and the finish line grows further everyday
And what of all the dreams we used to share were they wasted time were they empty lines
Was it all for you and none for me
You're gonna fly
I've seen where you're going I've been where you've been I've known your desire for bigger better things
This can feel like chains I know but it's not control it's love and looking out for you
You look out your window and see the road before you laid
but even that pavement has a guard upon each side
they're not there to hold you back they're to keep from falling off the tracks
you're gonna fly your day won't be denied and you're gonna try to reach beyond that sky
you're gonna fly so high
we both know how painful it is to ignore truth we pray you can't look back
and feel the pain and regret of youth
when you were screaming they're destroying you I swore that no one would least of all you
I know that time can move so slow when you're trying to get to something better
Trust me you'll soon be on that road
And we're gonna cry cause you'll be so high
Be on your way
You and I are headed on a course across a stormy sky headed for the place where the lightning strikes
Collision sure to take place and we both know why
So don't you ever say that I'm not strong it's been going on all too long
That I think we both have realized
I know you'd like to think you're never wrong but I've known it for so long
That our love affair has passed it's prime
So wipe away the teardrop from your eyes I've never seen you cry
If I did that I'd be out the door
And wipe away the smile from your face I don't want to see a trace of the bitterness inside your heart
Be on your way
You like the ride I believe deep down inside that you like the fights they somehow make you feel alive inside
An amusement park ride I won't stand in line for
So don't you ever say that I'm not strong it's taking all the strength I own
To break the chains that keep us bound
And I know I'd like to think I'm never wrong but I'm sure in ways I've wronged
And this is best for us all around
What happened to the girl I used to know she's gone and with her went our love
Just don't care
She knows how to work everything she's got cause she can keep everything smoking hot
When she walks in the room she'll make it move and then you realize
All those things you're thinking just ain't right
She'll touch your shoulders stroke your hair and then you notice you just don't care
Long all night long she can keep you going cause strong deep in the night she'll keep going strong
