Across The River Lyrics

DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS

There are ways of revealing
The things that we’re feeling
Different people do it different ways
But the way that I’m feeling
Sets my heart reeling
And I don’t know if I’ll make it through the haze

I tell her I’m in love, and she says
If this is love, there must be
Different definitions of the word
I tell her I’m in love, yeah this is love
It just don’t always work out like you heard

And it’s all so appealing
Till I’m on my knees dealing
With that little talk we had again last night
You say baby just go away
I don’t want you to stay right now
And I start, start to go out of my mind

I tell her I’m in love, and she says
If this is love, there must be
Different definitions of the word
I tell her I’m in love, yeah this love
It just don’t always work out like you heard

But how different can it be
When you really feel the same as me
We just have different ways of getting on
And there’s something that I see
And it does to you what it does to me
And that’s the thing – falls in the name of love

I’ve no way now of dealing
Say your heart I am stealing
That ain’t right – I should be ashamed of myself
But I know that you’re feeling
The exchange that we’re sealing
And I’ll give you my body
My heart, my soul, and my health

I tell her I’m in love, and she says
If this is love there must be
Different definitions of the word
I tell her I’m in love, yeah this is love
It just don’t always work out like you heard

Yeah this is love – this is love

SO YOU WANNA BE FRIENDS

You say you’ve met someone you want to know better
It’s no surprise, you’ve got that feeling to the letter
You hit it off, but you can’t seem to size things up
There’s something more, but you can’t put your finger on it
It’s getting harder just to see her as you once did
You sit and wonder where it all is leading to
And try to pass the time – and keep her off your mind
Don’t want to tell her what you feel inside

Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be

You start to see things just a little bit clearer
When the distractions come a little bit nearer
You think of what you have – and everything gone bad
You long to see her in your rear view mirror

Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be – friends

Why does it always get so complicated
Such simple things are miscommunicated
It’s hard enough just to hold back
‘Cause you’re getting so elated

You can’t help feeling all the pressure upon us
You take a chance with love and there’s no recourse
There’s just no turning back that way’s uncharted
Do you remember how this whole thing started

Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be friends
Ah – so you wanna be

ACROSS THE RIVER

Feel the way the water hugs the shoreline
Like the way you once held close to me
Time has come to shield us from our memories
Like the way the water flows to sea

There are some things that I have, and other things I’ve lost
And they are far away, far away, far across the river

Everyday, I look across this open land
Everyday, I look towards the sea
That’s the place where all my love is flowing to
That’s the place to bring my love to me

There are some things that I have, and other things I’ve lost
And they are far away, far away, far across the river
I went chasing after little things, bigger things got lost
And they are far away, far away, far across the river

Tracing my old ways to the place where I come from
I try turning back the days, but I find it can’t be done

They are far away, far away, far across the river
They are far away, far away, like a memory
They are far away, far away, far across the river
They are far away, far away, coming home to me

BREATHLESS

I see you, you see me
And it’s exactly like we knew it would be
I know that you know
It’s a good way to go
All at once, at last
All of the time we’ve spent apart has just passed
I know that you know
It’s a good way to go

‘Cause you got me breathless
I’m feeling restless
You got me breathless
You know you got me breathless

You see me, I see you
And though I wonder what it’s all coming to
I know that you know
It’s a good way to go
If I come, then you’ll know
I want to travel on wherever you go
I want you to know
It’s a good way to go

You got me breathless
I’m feeling restless
You got me breathless
You know you got me

You know that I can’t breath when I’m near you
Don’t want to make a sound
And I can’t leave when you’re near me
I want you to stick around
Before the night falls
No excuses to be found
Just to stop it all for one sweet moment
Just in order to be feeling breathless

From you heart, to your soul
I never aimed to have a definite goal
I want you to know, it’s a good way to go
Past your mind and your thoughts
I’m going in and I’m prepared to be caught
Never say no, it’s a good way to go

‘Cause you got me breathless
I’m feeling restless
You got me breathless
You know you got me

ONLY AFTER DARK

You wait for the screen door
To slam shut and then you’re
To meet me on N Street
We’ll drive out discreetly

Only after dark when they’re fast asleep
Only after dark when they’re dreaming
Only after dark will I see you
Only after dark

Your mother protects you
Won’t let me subject you
To my world – well welcome
The sun sets and you’ll come

Only after dark when they’re fast asleep
Only after dark when they’re dreaming
Only after dark will I see you
Only after dark

FLY AROUND THE WORLD

I’m not saying I couldn’t have done anymore
It’s just hard when we’re so far apart
While the forces were begging me onward
You’re the one who has opened my heart

I could fly around the world
With this message from you girl
I could fly around the world
With this message from you

All the time that I waited around for you
All the time that I waited alone
In the air now I’m dutifully bound for you
In the air now I’m on my way home

I could fly around the world
With this message from you girl
I could fly around the world
I could fly around the world
With this message from you girl
I could fly around the world
On the love you send me

Flying through the air
I’ll go anywhere
Whatever it takes
Just to be close to you
Close to you

Pay no mind to the lambs gone to market
There’s still time for the one’s close to home
And my carriage will stay where I park it
And when I ride, now I won’t be alone

KING OF NOTHING

Bombs are falling
Targets on your land
Millions of people
Eating from your hand
If it’s true that your country
Believes the things your say
Are they in such a hurry
To reach their judgment day
Living your life like an everyday fantasy
Living a life where it’s
What you get is what you see

You can call me king of nothing
But you’ll soon be under my attack
If you don’t move, you’ll lose everything
Earth is crumbling ‘neath your footsteps
And you’re finding that there’s no way back

Bombs are falling in a foreign land
Millions of people listen to your plan
If you take out the missiles
Will you take out the gas
Decisions upon you
This could be your last
Living your life like an everyday fantasy
Waging a war and you watch the action on TV

You’ve done everything
To try and change the world with your life
You sit comfortably
Resting on the edge of the knife

You can call me king of nothing
But you’ll soon be under my attack
If you don’t move, you’ll lose everything
Earth is crumbling ‘neath your footsteps
And you’re finding that you can call me king of nothing

LITTLE WHITE LIES

And in you walked
A certain grace
Your laughing eyes
Your smiling face
But underneath
Your secrets lie
Hardly hidden by

Your little white lies
Little white lies
Under the big black skies
Little white lies

The sleepless nights and loving days
The many times I count the ways
Without a care, in bed you lie
Where go you go I

Your little white lies
Little white lies
Under big black skies
Little white lies

Every lie that you told to me
Every trick that you played, played on me
Every moment you stole
From the depths of your soul
Will come back to haunt you – you’ll see

I had no choice
So long, farewell
You made my life a living hell
I leave you with the reason why
We don’t see eye to eye

Your little white lies
Little white lies
Under big black skies
Little white lies

PUT ME OUT OF MY PAIN

I’m not the only one
You aim to please but only stun
Out for a thrill
You dress to kill and spare no one
Oh a night like this
Spent all alone’s a waste of time
Say you feel the same and put me out of my pain
You know you’re killing love
I know you’re willing love

To put me out of my pain
Hit my heart again
Put me out of my pain
Put me right out of my pain

Like a switch blade knife
Dying to have a little fun
You cut me up so quick
I bleed but got nowhere to run
You been into me
For quite a little piece of time
So when you see me again
Just put me out of my pain
You’re undertaking love
We should be making love

So put me out of my pain
Hit my heart again
Put me out of my pain
Put me right out of my pain

How can you lose
Nothing to lose everything to gain
How can you lose
Can’t go on and make me feel this pain
How can you lose
Won’t be happy till you’re back again

This time – put me out of my pain
Hit my heart again
Put me out of my pain
Put me right out of my pain

Out of my pain – heart and mind

STAY

Living in a world – no familiar faces
Lost all alone – in infinite space
No trace, no way to recognize the past
When it’s mapped across your face
Sudden grace – you’re too beautiful
To come from any place
That I have ever known
You were blown by winds forgotten
Straight into my arms you came

We could be lost together
Racing to the stars
We would be lost if we were
Living worlds apart

So I say stay – stay – stay forever and a day
Stay – stay forever
Stay – stay – stay – let tomorrow come today
Stay – stay forever

Time to be free – escape the boundaries
Never meant to be – I’ve no illusions
It all gets so much harder to take
Every day I wake to the sound
And grab the telephone
You’ve got the right number
Listen you’re not alone
All night I dreamed I ‘d never hear your voice
And the choice is up to you

We could be lost together racing to the stars
We would be lost if we were living worlds apart

So I say stay – stay – stay forever and a day
Stay – stay forever
Stay – stay – let tomorrow come today
Stay – stay forever
