lyrics

Every day he's lookin' for
A chance to find his metaphor
The truth behind the black and white
And dreary shades of grey
Lookin' in your eyes he sees
Contempt and pity when he needs
A hint of hope a glint of light
To carry him away

And yet his dreams are sweeter than you know
And filled with hands that hold
And voices softly crooning words that every heart should hear
His heart breaks a little every day
He works so hard to mend the cracks away
And be the guy who always smiles
And hides in his eyes

It's not a sad song yet
He still has time to forget
And make his life something new
Something good
Before he says goodbye
And writes the end

And when the sadness fades day breaks
He starts a new life with the shakes
And looking back he contemplates
The man he used to be
He wants to change but knows the truth
His life is like a rotten tooth
It fills your mouth with sour taste
And pain 'til you rip it free

And yet his dreams are sweeter than you know
And filled with hands that hold
And voices softly crooning words that every heart should hear
Lying down he prays for sudden death
He cannot help but wish for final breath
And courage to choose to clean his mess
Or let it all go

It's not a sad song yet
He still has time to forget
And make his life something new
Something good
Before he says goodbye

And writes the end
Of a life lived with you
Writes the end
Of a song meant for two
And sings that song for you
And asks that you would take his hand
Before he says
Goodbye

The Hot One remix in this album is great. also loving how this whole album is a take on how other alises would have made said song, gives a new perspective to something i never considered. Jasper's Audio Archive
