Time Kills Lyrics
1. Don’t Give Up
Sitting in St. Georges Theatre
Waiting for the fan to come
I can’t make it any clearer
You’ve got my heart on the run
Sentimental ballerina
Looking for another way
I can’t make it any cleaner
I never begged you to stay
But it’s keeping me down here
Don’t give up
But there’s no use hanging around
And trying to sound cool
Just give up
Cause there’s only yourself to blame
When nobody knows your name
Trying to make it with Christina
Searching for a chord to play
How come every time I've seen her
She's always turning away?
And it’s keeping me down here
Don’t give up
But there’s no use hanging around
And trying to sound cool
Just give up
Cause there’s only yourself to blame
When nobody knows your name
Don’t give up
But there’s no use hanging around
And trying to sound cool
Just give up
Cause there’s only yourself to blame
When nobody knows your name
2. Dreams and Memories
Dreams and memories holding up your life
Friends and enemies putting on a fight
Well it's over and over and
Searching for clover and
Great big ideas but
They just don't know who you are
Dreams and memories never took you there
No apologies cause we just don't care
But when it's right
Nobody's wrong when it's right
And I'll be your fool for the night
And maybe that’s right
When you'll find me there…
Dreams and memories help you through the night
No analogies ever get it right
When it’s over it’s over
Still searching for clover ‘til
I think I see it but
It’s always just out of reach
Dreams and memories they can't take away
Please remember me for another day
But when it's right
Nobody's wrong when it's right
And I'll be your fool for the night
And maybe that's right
When you'll find me there…
When it's right
Nobody's wrong when it's right
And I'll be your fool for the night
And maybe that's right
And it sure feels right
When you'll find me there…
Dreams and Memories holding up your life…
3. Turning This Damn Car Around
Starting to feel like I’m on the wrong road
I know the way, but I do as I’m told
Busting my ass ‘til I’m dead
Now I’m taking a new road instead
Hear what I said, turn it around
If you don’t stop, try to behave
I’m turning this damn car around
Taking you back to where we came
I’m turning this damn car around
Took to the road when it was all the rage
Now I can’t tell if I’m acting my age
Seems like an honest mistake
But we sleep in the bed that we make
It’s not too late, turn it around
If you don’t stop, try to behave
I’m turning this damn car around
Taking you back to where we came
I’m turning this damn car around
Now that’s enough, get back in line
Or I’m turning this damn car around
Dropping you off at the first sign
I’m turning this damn car around
Back in the day when the world seemed so alive
Insert the key, start the engine and drive
Now that I see where we’ve been
And all the better days around…
And I’m waving my hands
And I’m flagging you down
‘Cause I know how it feels
When you’ve lost what you found
And I know we could make it work out
If you’d just turn around
If you don’t stop, try to behave
I’m turning this damn car around
Taking you back to where we came
I’m turning this damn car around
Now that’s enough, get back in line
Or I’m turning this damn car around
Dropping you off at the first sign
I’m turning this damn car around
4. A Shoulder (To Cry On)*
Though you were as cold as ice
I loved you once or twice
But you threw it away
Only a shoulder to cry on
And tears to waste
Think…a distant memory
Though you refused to see
I never looked away
Only a shoulder to cry on
And tears to waste
I left you wanting more
Never told you
Things that I’ve been holding down so long
Caught up believing this was wrong
Blink…and you might miss the sign
It’s been there all the time
And always will remain
For you to find again
Just a shoulder to cry on
Only a shoulder to cry on
Only a shoulder to cry on
And tears…to waste
5. Wagon
Look at me
Can't you see I'm drowning?
I set you free
So go and tie your wagon to another man
Can’t you see?
It's a revelation
So let it be
And go and tie your wagon to another man
I thought I knew ya
Now you know I see through your charade (Another man)
Come back soon
Cause I don't want to ruin your parade
No No No No
Give a try
Now it's automatic
Say goodbye
And go and tie your wagon to another man
It's such a thrill
To be at your table
So eat your fill
And go and tie your wagon to another man
I'm just a singer
Who was wrapped round you finger before (Another man)
Now we're through
And I won't play for you anymore
No No No
Girl what's it to ya
That I just can't get through to your heart
Take the joke
And I hope you don't choke on that part
No No No No
Look at me
Can’t you see I’m drowning?
I set you free
So go and tie your wagon to another man…
6. Love Won’t Change Your Mind
Is there any way?
I know that I shouldn’t worry about it
There isn’t a day I don’t work around it
And though you have gone, I know it’s for the best
I just need a way to get it off my…
Love won't change your mind
I know for me
I will wake you find
You're gone and free
Once there was a day
I wouldn't believe that I'd ever lose you
But these are the things that I must get used to
And now that I know you're leaving me behind
I've given up hope that love could change your...
Love won't change your mind
I know for me
I will wake you find
You're gone and free
Love won't change your mind
I know for me
I will wake you find
You're gone and free
7. Sure Thing
I'm looking for a sure thing
You might just fit the bill
But when you disappoint me
Baby that's a bitter pill
But it's so much easier to swallow
When you got me on my knees
You don’t have to be concerned
When it’s something they don’t see
I'm looking for direction
You seem to know the way
And when you start to lose me
Well now that’s another day
But you're so much easier to follow
When you got me on my knees
You don’t have to be concerned
Cause it’s something they don’t see
I'm looking for a sure thing
You seem to fit the bill
But when you disappoint me
Baby that's a bitter pill
But it's so much easier to swallow
When you got me on my knees
You don’t have to be concerned
When it’s something they don’t see
8. Shaken
One short day
Since you went away
It’s over, but the memory remains
All fall down
Crumble to the ground
It’s over, but the memory remains
Try to help if I can
But it’s more than a man can do
All fall down
Crumble to the ground
It’s over, but the memory remains
The memory remains…
Try to help if I can
But it’s more than a man can do
One short day
Since you went away
It’s over but the memory remains
The memory remains…
9. Will You Make It Home
Seems to me
A little imagination
Might just take you home
My guitar
Is tired of playing the same old things
Will you make it home?
Will you make it home?
Used to be
We could talk and talk all night
Now I’ve never known
Fewer words that ever meant so much to me
Will you make it home?
Will you make it home?
10. I Just Want To Be Loved By You*
Pretty girls are everywhere
But I just don’t seem to care
I swear
I just want to be loved by you
Pretty flowers in the Spring
But they just don’t mean a thing
I sing
I just want to be loved by you
Put your red dress on
Cause we’re going into town
We’ll see people there
And be unaware
And when we get home
All alone
All alone
All alone
Let’s forget about the years
That were filled with doubt and fears
I’m clear
I just want to be loved by you
You’re my woman; I’m your man
And we both know where we stand
In hand
I just want to be loved by you
Put your red dress on
Cause we’re going into town
We’ll see people there
And be unaware
And when we get home
All alone
All alone
All alone
I just want to be loved by you…
Put your red dress on
Cause we’re going into town
We’ll see people there
And we just won’t care
And when we get home
All alone
So alone
And you know
I just want to be loved by you…
11. It Must Be Love
They say tomorrow is another day
Wait for tomorrow and give it a try
Until tomorrow…
And we’ll never be the same again
There are no secrets hiding in a book
No hidden meanings between the lines
It is so simple…
And we’ll never be the same again
All this and more I’ll tell you
And it just might be true
It must be love…
Can you remember how it used to be
Who gave you the answer that led you astray?
You need to trust me…
And we’ll never be the same again
All this and more I’ll tell you
And it just might be true
It must be love…
They say tomorrow is another day…
It must be love…
12. Time Kills
Time Kills
Especially when you’re the one waiting
Waiting for someone to find you
Wish it was somebody else
Cause you know you can’t live with the drama
Wishing that life could be calmer
Wishing the day could be harmless
Wishing you were someone else
‘Cause you know it won’t leave you alone
In your heart you know you want to stay
Bit by bit tears at you every day
It leaves no chance for a getaway
Cause you know it won’t leave you
Time Kills
Wounds that we thought would stay open
Pain that we just couldn’t cope with
Dreams that we thought we could reach
But you know you can’t wait any longer
If it don’t kill you it must make you stronger
It’s never too late to feel hunger
Killing me softly again
And you know it won’t leave you alone
And if I had to do it all again
You know I’d try to be a better man
And show that I could be responsible
But you know it won’t leave you alone
I know I let it slip right through my hand
It’s killing me ‘cause you can’t understand
What’s that they say about your best laid plans?
Cause you know it won’t leave you
Time Kills
Though you should try to forget it
Go ahead now there I said it
Life is too short to regret it
Wish it was somebody else
I never let it slip right through my hands
It’s killing me that you can’t understand
There’s just no use in trying to pretend
And you know it won’t leave you alone
I still remember when we let it go
And now it’s killing me to let it show
You can’t pretend it doesn’t hurt to know
‘Cause you know it won’t leave you
Time Kills
Especially when you’re the one waiting
Waiting for someone to find you
Wish it was somebody else…
