A Moment Like This

find myself waiting for the morning light
takes all I got to make it through the night (and god only knows)
I lost the habits of a socialite
the company of burnin bridges and the city keep me up til dawn
was I right or wrong? I can't stop thinking 'bout it
got my apartment with the street side view
hidden in a maze of avenues
I've got no problem with the morning news
its just the nights that I can't stand
the pacing keeps me up til dawn
was I right or wrong?
cuz I've been waiting for a moment like this
but now im not too sure
have I been waiting for a moment like this?
why does it feel like there's more to life im missin, tell me
could I be waiting for a moment like this?
oh no
catch myself waiting for a warning sign
and betting on red only half the time
this aint no way to spend my only life
if we all get a second, well I can't say
the feeling keeps me up til dawn
was I right or wrong?
cuz I've been waiting for a moment like this
but now im not too sure
have I been waiting for a moment like this?
why does it feel like there's more to life im missin, tell me
could I be waiting for a moment like this?
oh no
wait for the moment.

What If

What if when I move it all feels the same?
what if all the coffee don't taste the way that it usually does?
Could that be because
I didn't wear the clothes I picked out before?
piles of second guesses strewn about the floor where I'd usually lie
tell me could that be why?
(I can't make up my mind) of what's important to me
(I can't seem to decide) just how to make it through my day
(I can't make up my mind) of what's important to me
(I can't seem to decide)
What if when I'm gone you forget my name?
What if all my songs start to sound the same like they usually do?
Could that be a clue?
All because I didn't pay my morning fare
got caught up second guessin' bout which shades to wear
and no its not a joke, but hey, which overcoat
will set in stone my fate? or is it far too late for me?
(I can't make up my mind) of what's important to me
(I can't seem to decide) just how to make it through my day
(I can't make up my mind) of what's important to me
(I can't seem to decide)

That's Just How It Goes

But you're not a messenger are you?
stuck in a stereo?
you're not a great communicator, locked in a room with a telephone.
you want the low white chairs in the kitchen, coffee, and plants in the shower wall?
and someone to miss you in the evenings, when all the lights turn off?
oh but that's just how it goes
you could hang out a light
and hope it burns all night
over the garden wall
oh but that's just how it goes
you learn to love an early morning even if you're all alone
but you're not a passenger are you?
stuck in a station hall?
you're not a great negotiator when called to court with the know it alls
I know you think you're in a rush but you can stop to see it all
and someone will miss you in the evenings
you just gotta wait for the show to fall.

maybe I could go back to playin it safe
(forever foot in my mouth when I talk to you)
and maybe I could strike out in a different state
(curl up and stress out for a week or two)
of spilling my guts to a friend who has enough on his plate
oh when I drink too much
I get all hung up on who knows what and where they went
but oh when I drink too much
would you forgive me if I said that I was wrong?
so Ronnie Ronnie please don't take this bad
(forever foot in my mouth when I talk to you)
and Ronnie Ronnie please don't take this bad
(curl up and stress out for a week or two)
I'm spilling my guts to a friend who has enough on his plate
oh, when we drink too much
oh we get all hung up on who knows what and where they went
but oh when we drink too much
would you forgive me if I said that I was wrong?
oh I've known you a long time
we're on the same side

Love is the only thing that matters, unfortunately
cuz love is all im afraid, a feeling I'm starting to see
cuz I know one day the quiet I found won't satisfy me
so what's the point, when loves all that matters?
maybe its out there for me
so take care, and hold onto moments, they part faster than you'd believe
cautious and slow, you'll wander forever, waiting for somewhere to be
cuz I know that one day the quiet I found won't satisfy me
so what's the point, when loves all that matters?
maybe its out there for me.
