Shadows & Light

Softly, love is standing here with its demands
(tell me what you want from me, you want from me)
Slowly, i think i'm letting go of all my plans
(tell me where we're goin' to, we're goin' to)

Why, why am i afraid to give into this
Why am i afraid?

Chorus:
This doesn't have to be love
But it's all i can feel, it's all that i fear.
This doesn't have to be anything at all,
So hard to fall (from this high above)
But do we have to call it love?

I hold back, from everything i really want to say
(should i let my guards down, my guards down, my guards down)
I don't, i don't make commitments that could break
(maybe it's just too late, it's just too late)

I, i'm so afraid to give into this
I'm so afraid, oh

(chorus)

Need a little time to think things through, baby
Do i really want to give myself, give all myself to you, now?
I can't believe it's happening so fast
'cause i don't want to bring back what i left in the past, no.

(chorus)

So hard to fall...in love
This doesn't have to be...love
(love, love is all i feel...your love is what i fear)
Love me...love me
So hard to fall
So very hard to fall.

Baby, don't you wanna cry?
'cause i really need to
And i really miss you

Oh baby, i'm a lady, a baby, oh baby
Well you haven't got much to say, uh-uh
Just take me to the garden
I know there's a way

See that woman sitting over there in the corner
She sleeps with many candles around her bed
Once the night's getting old and you really wanna tell her
She'll find the light and run all the way back home

From mystic eyes she looks at you if she wants to
But never will they tell you what's ahead
And though she may be cold, she doesn't want to hurt anyone
She just wants to live a life of her own

And she doesn't want to be alone
But she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she lives unknown. unknown
The voice inside her sings a different tone
Alone, 'cause no one understands her

Who's that woman sitting over there in the corner?
She may be here but she's very far away
Once the night's getting old and you think you're getting closer
You'll be the fool 'cause she's never gonna let you in

From mystic skies (mystic skies) the rains will fall when they want to
Sometimes it happens every single day (what will the moon say?)
Does she wanna spend the rest of her life just hiding out and hurting herself
When they come to the door now is she gonna let them in?

And she doesn't want to be alone
But she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she stays unknown. (it's better) unknown.
The voice inside her says she couldn't be wrong
She's alone, 'cause no one reprimands her

Try to look her in the eye
Try to look her in the eye
Try and look her in the eye
Try and look her in the eye
No, no, no, no,... oh no

And she only wants to be at home
So it's better if she lives... unknown
Alone

'i love you girl' that's what you used to say
And that no one would ever take it away
I gave you all i had inside, baby it's alright

But then you took the love right from my heart
It's funny how things so strong can fall apart
I gave you all i had inside, baby it's alright, ooh

One day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time.
Ooh, because i know where you're going from here
(don't take me down with you)

Chorus:
Don't take me down (take me down with you...)
'cause i don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down.
Don't take me down (don't take me down with you...)
And i don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down.
You had someone; you had me to love.

Why do we put up all these fronts?
There's something about the way that you loved me once.
And why, why is it wrong to want it back again?

Oh no... one day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide...baby not this time.
Ooh, because i know where you're going from here
(don't take me down with you)

(chorus)

Too many times, i've realized the truth
(don't take me down, don't take me down)
Too many times...
I've seen enough, i've seen it enough to know
This time you're not, you're not gonna take me down
Down, down, down, down .... yeah

(chorus)

Fade

You can't hide it from me
Admit it baby
'cause i'm wise to your disguise
I've seen you love me with your eyes

Even if you think i'm a fool and i just can't tell
Then you don't know me well
Won't you come over here and break the ice
It would be so nice

It's what you want when you're around me
You're a little bit shy, and i feel the need
And i can tell that you're happy you found me
Just give it up...

Chorus:
Why wait around when you know what you're feeling (give it up)
I look through your eyes
I can see that you want somebody (give it up)
It could feel so good to get into it.
Give it up! give it up! you want it baby.
Give it up! give it up! you know you got me.
Come on, come on, come on and give it up.

I can't, i can't lie to you
Now we can all tell stories so come over here and love me. uh-huh
Even if you think i'm a fool and i just can't tell
Sorry i know you well.
And i know you will

Come over here and love me
It's what you want when you're around me
You're a little bit shy, and i feel the need
And i can tell that you're happy you found me
Just give it up...

(chorus)

So dream your way into my life
'cause baby i'll give you tonight
I'll bring all your pictures to life
Give it up! give it up! give it up! give it up!
Give it up... (ooh god) give it up... just give it up...give it up

Give it up! give it up (yeah!)
Give it up! give it up!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, give it up
Give it up! won't you give it up baby tonight?

Fade

I'm all grown up
But somehow, it feels like i'm pretending
Visions of my younger years, they are buried
But the scenes that play inside of me, are impending
They are never ending...

Chorus:
Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out that window, anymore.
You can just come back to yourself, you can come back to this world.
Where are you? tell me who heard you. and where are you?

He led me into his room, and had me lay down
My heart, and my soul, and anything else that you could own,
When you're six years old.
But now i'm older

(chorus)

Such a quiet secret, it hurt too much trying hard to keep it.
Oh, and i looked up to you... i wanted so much to believe in you.
I wanted so much for you to believe it me.
Oh i tried, i tried.

Where, where, where, where, where are you?
You don't have to look out anymore.
I don't have to look out of that window anymore.
I can just, come back to myself, i can come back this world

Where are you? tell me who heard you? and where are you now?
Where are you? where are you? where are you? where are you?
Tell me who hurt you.

Hey, do you know what's going on
Do you?
Come on, play it! wooh!

Are you awake?
Have you anything to say?
Are you aware of what surrounds you?
And all the times you tried to please everyone
Can you admit it doesn't matter?

Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life
And i don't mind the ride
I don't mind the ride, yes
So listen

Don't live a lifeless life
When you could be living it right
Don't be one to be led (ahah)
It's a heavy world in my small world
Get up get out of bed

Ooh there's never a dull moment in my life
And i don't mind the ride

Chorus:
Don't you know it's only life
It's only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever you're doing
However you're doing it
You'll be living your life
Yes it's only life
So there is no wrong, no right
Ooh it's a constant flight
A constant flight

Movin' on...

Are you awake?
I don't think i have the answer
Is there no one on the other line?
No
Now it's a heavy world in my small world
But i'm feeling just fine

Ooh there's never a still moment in my life
And i don't mind the ride

(chorus)

Life
Don't you know
Crying
It's only life, it's only life
Don't you know
Crying
It's only life, it's only life
I'm crying

(ah) (whooh)

Don't you know it's only life
Taking you on a constant flight
Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong there could be no right
Whatever you're doin'
However you're doing it
You'll be living your life

Don't you know it's only life
And everyone pushes to get by
We go here
We're going there
Somebody tell me why

Don't you know that it's only life
There is no wrong
There could be no right
Whatever you're doing
However you're doing
You'll be living your life

Don't you know it's only life
Don't you know it's only life...
Don't you know
Don't you know it's only life
