[Girl:]
|
When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide
|
Did you ever call out to someone
|
Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone-
|
I've been right here by your side
|
There ain't nothin' but clouds
|
There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes
|
|
Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth
|
You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
|
Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
|
You're so busy trying to get even
|
You never even try to get close
|
|
I can't explain it away
|
It doesn't make any sense
|
To know what it's like
|
I guess you gotta go through it
|
It doesn't matter baby
|
Loving you's a dirty job
|
But somebody's gotta do it
|
|
[Boy:]
|
There were times when we'd never fake it
|
There were times when we'd always make it
|
There were times when we'd take it to the limit
|
And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone
|
We were flesh and blood and bone
|
There were times we had it all
|
There were times we had it all
|
|
[Both:]
|
There were times when we took our chances
|
There were times we were damn good dancers
|
There were times when we heard all the answers
|
In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll
|
I can see right through your soul
|
There were times we had it all
|
There were times we had it all
|
|
[Boy:]
|
If your fears could only be forgotten
|
We could pull all of the barriers down
|
Would you follow your dreams' desire
|
Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire
|
Let's just peel out of this town
|
|
[Both:]
|
It's been nothing but dreams
|
It's been nothing but dreams until now
|
|
[Boy:]
|
You're never gonna see it
|
|
[Both:]
|
You got your head stuck in the sand
|
|
[Boy:]
|
It's the land of the free and easy Street
|
|
[Girl:]
|
It's the home of the damned
|
|
[Boy:]
|
You're never gonna see it
|
|
[Both:]
|
You better open up your eyes
|
|
[Girl:]
|
You're the only one who's left-
|
|
[Both:]
|
Who's gonna believe all your lies
|
|
[Boy:]
|
I can't explain it away
|
It doesn't make any sense
|
|
[Both:]
|
To know what it's like
|
I guess you gotta go through it
|
It doesn't matter baby
|
|
[Girl:]
|
Loving you's a dirty job
|
But somebody's gotta do it
|
|
[Boy:]
|
There were times when our bodies glistened
|
There were times that we can't stop missing
|
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
|
|
[Both:]
|
To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts
|
Nothing could have torn us apart
|
There were times we had it all
|
There were times we had it all
|
|
[Girl:]
|
There were times when we fought like tigers
|
There were times we were damn good liars
|
|
[Boy:]
|
There were times we extinguished every fire
|
|
[Both:]
|
That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive
|
From the heavens on down to the dives
|
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
|
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
|
|
There were times when we fought like tigers
|
There were times we were damn good liars
|
|
There were times when our bodies glistened
|
There were times that we can't stop missing
|
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
|
To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts
|
Nothing could have torn us apart
|
There were times we had it all
|
There were times we had it all
|
