Falling Backwards

People talking
And they're saying that you're leaving
So unhappy
With the way that you've been living
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Look in the mirror
And you see how you've been taken
You won't surrender
But now your heart is breakin'
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
Do you remember
When you got your lucky break
You're looking back now
And it seems like a mistake
Oh oh oh
We always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It's only change (change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will never change
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (change)
What's in your heart will stay the same
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (what

In my life i've seen such things
That i wish i had not seen
But through your eyes
I can let it go
When you're lying here with me
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream
(we dream)
Cause baby
Anywhere the wind blows
I will follow you
It seems
That in my life
I still believe in dreams
Where you are is where i'll be
It's all that really matters to me
The world out there
Hey can kiss my ass
As long as i've got you i'm free
Free
Sunshine knocking on my window
Couldn't wake me from this dream (we dream)
Cause baby anywhere the wind blows
I will follow you
It seems
That in my life
I still believe in dreams
The world out there can kiss my ass
As long as i

I was so lonely until i met you
Told myself i'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that i just had enough
You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles
And the way that you came here tonight
Don't know what you got
But i'm sure glad i found you
Could be wrong but it sure feels right
And here i am
I'm back on my feet again
Here i am
I'm back on my feet again
Surprised at myself
For the way that i feel
So happy that you're
Here with me
Some women i've known
They've left me with nothing
But i guess that was just meant to be
And here i am
I'm back on my feet again
Here i am
I'm back on my feet again
I was down for the count
I was down
I was beat
I was cryin'
I was cornered and hurt
I was hidin' my face
Sittin' there cryin'
I was so lonely until i met you
Told myself i'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that i just had enough
And here i am
I'm back on my feet again
Here i am
I'm back on my feet again.
Yes here i am
I'm back on my feet again
Here i am
I'm back on my feet again

Every time i think of you
I always catch my breath
And i'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And i'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What i might say
There's a message
In the wild
And i'm sending you
This signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate i've become
And it looks like i'm losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though i'm trying hard
To understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And there's a message that i'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if i can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
Away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself
Ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
Ain't missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I ain't missing you

Falling in love was the
Last thing i had on my mind
Holding you is a warmth
That i thought i could never find
(sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(then i stop myself because)
I know i could cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(isn't time it took time to wait)
(falling in love could be your mistake)
Isn't it time
(isn't time you took time to wait)
(falling in love could be your mistake)
I've seen visions of someone like you in my life
A love that's strong reaching out
Holding me through the darkest night
(sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(then i stop myself because)
I don't want to cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(isn't it time it took time to wait)
(falling in love could be your mistake)
(isn't time you took time to wait)
(falling in love could be your mistake)
(isn't time you took time to wait)
(falling in love could be your mistake)
I feel a warmth in my heart
And my soul that i never knew
This love affair gives me strength
That i need just to get me through
(sitting here all alone)
Just wondering why
(then i stop myself because)
I know i could cry
(then i think of you)
And everything seems alright
I've finally found the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
(don't have to wait)
I know it's time
Ooh yeah
I know it's time
It must be time
(don't have to wait)
(losing this love could be your mistake)
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
(don't have to wait)
It oughta be time
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
It must be time
(don't have to wait)
(losing this love could be your mistake)
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
(losin' this love could be your mistake)
(isn't time you don't have to wait)
It oughta be time

Driving faster than you want me to
Can't help myself when i'm alone with you
Alright
Alright
I've passed the limit and there's no way back
Your kind of love gives me a heart attack
Alright
Alright
Cause baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel me touching you
We need a midnight rendezvous
On the freeway with the throttle down
You drive me crazy as we drive around
Alright
All night
The way you look tonight you aim to please
The dress you're wearin' is way past your knees
Alright
Alright
Cause baby can't you see
We need to spend some time alone
We need to see some dreams come true
I wanna feel you touching me
We need a midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Midnight
Midnight rendezvous
Yeah yeah
All i really wanna do
Spend some time alone with you
Yeah
A midnight
(baby baby can

Sometimes i wake up
And i watch you sleep
And in the darkness
I wonder if i'm in too deep
Help-what if it's true
I say the wrong things
Cause i'm just a jealous guy
And i hurt you sometimes
I make you cry
Oh i'm so sorry
You and i fit together hand and glove
What we've got is an act of love
That

I wait for sundown on the fire escape
And watch the passing cars downstairs
I'm high above korean groceries
A sublet castle in the air
It's down to cigarettes and rosaries
Christ, i wish someone would call me
Johnny thunders on the radio
Ah but "you can't put your arms
Around a memory"
Maybe i could find a better way
But all i need is to feel connected now
Do you remember me
I sang that song you like
I sang that song for free
Now someone else sounds like me
As i make my way downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
See the old men on the bowery
Take the night train to the stars
You can find me in the usual place
Inside the temple bar
I hear that sally's got a gift for me
I hear she found it on st. mark's
These days they all just talk like poetry
And shoot their mouths off shooting sparks
Maybe i could find a better way
But all i need now is to feel connected
Do you remember me
I sang that song you like
Way back in eighty-three
Number one
High as a kite
As i made my way downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
They've got paper cups for charity
Kools, pills and broken teeth, and dope
But i'll take another dry martini
And a chance on hope
And now someone else waits for me
And i got to get downtown
Downtown
Oh yeah
Downtown
I'm going way downtown
Oh yeah
I'm gonna see the man
I'm going way downtown
See the man
Going down yeah
I'm gonna see the man
Going downtown
Do you remember me
