On A Day Like Today lyrics

c'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight
c'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

the nite is alive - the world is asleep
dreaming of promises they can't keep
we gotta be tough we gotta be strong
it's only love we've been waiting

so c'mon c'mon c'mon - we're gonna make it home tonight
c'mon c'mon c'mon - everything's gonna be alright

Clue number one was when you knocked on my door.
Clue number two was the look that you wore.
And that's when i knew, it was a pretty good sign,
That something was wrong up on cloud number nine

Well it's along way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

Chrous

And the moon is out and the stars are bright
And whatever comes s'gonna be alright

it's 3 am - and i'm lying here next to you
what cha gonna do?
will you tell a story - when he asks you where the hell
you've been
or will you tell the truth?

i ain't holdin' back - i know where i stand
i just want to be with you
ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
i've gotta get it through to you
i'm fearless

you don't have to hide - you don't have to share half your
life

drove all night from new york city
in your best friend's car
knocked on my door about five thirty
nursing a broken heart
still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your jacket on
back door's open baby - i don't lock it
we can leave anytime we want

i got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
i never planned to stay
getaway - ya know it's now or never
getaway - nobody lives forever

Is there anybody out there?
Anyone that's loved in vain
Anyone that feels the same

Is there anybody waiting?
Waiting for a chance to win
To give it up and start again

We all need something new
Something that is true
And someone else to feel it too

I feel so high, no one else would know it
I don't know why I feel the way I do
I can't let go, and I'm not scared to show it

All i want is a real fast car
wanna go to fast - i wanna go to far
I wanna take a bite of this sweet sweet life
while the gettin's good and the time is right
i wanna fill my cup - i wanna drink it up

I don't wanna live forever
I just wanna go for broke
gonna ride thru any kind of weather
go out in a cloud of smoke
I don't wanna live - don't wanna live forever

maybe i told you right from the start
you can have me
but you can't have my heart
it's easy enough to say but i couldn't care less
ya i mighta told you were on my mind
guess i talked a pretty good line
but hey i can talk all day
but i just can't confess

that i'm a liar
i'm a victim of desire
i'm a moth into the fire
ya,i'm over my head - forget what i said
tell ya i'm a liar

if i was blind , you could make me see
if i was down , you could comfort me
well i ain't got a lot , but what i got is true
there's nothing that i can't do , if i had you

i could walk on water , dance on air
go any place , go anywhere
could climb the empire state , and the rockies too
there's nothing that i can't do , if i had you

if i had you , for what else could i pray?

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
The longest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The boy you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight

Chorus
I wanna know you, like I know myself
I'm waitin' for you, there ain't no one else

from the international version of on a day like today
I walked in - you walked out
I know right then something was up
Ya said "don't ask me no questions - won't tell ya no lies"
It comes as such a surprise
I think I'll close my eyes - to the pain
Cuz tonight I don't wanna know where you've been
So won't you lie to me
Then I can't be mistaken
Swear that you will lie to me

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin' round your way
Ya ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The sun's gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - there's a place for you
I know that you believe it too

Well I'm wrapped around your finger
And I'm never letting go
You know I'm happy just to linger
And let the feeling flow

This must be an illusion
I know this can't be real
I'm ready and right now
This is paradise I feel

Never thought I'd find someone to move me
Someone who could see right through me
You've found your way into my head
Where even angels fear to tread

Don't wanna go out walkin'
