Inside Out (w/Bonus Track)[MCA] lyrics

Saturday, slept through the morning
Just let the phone ring, now isn't that strange
I watched cartoons, poor old coyote
Someone had a worse day than me for a change
And it made me happy, it made me smile
For a while.

You always said my friends were all crazy
Baby here lately it seems I fit in
We go out just like the old days
Try to find new ways to go there again

You said you were afraid to trust
So sorry for yourself, it must be hard
Living inside your head
And I'm no angel in disguise
I've had my share of alibis
But I was true to you
I meant every word I said
But what's the use
You believe whatever you want to.

Chorus:
You can run, you can hide
Love will still come to find you
You can turn it away
Keep romancing your pain

(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce)

It took a while for me to see things as they were
In the light of truth
It wasn't you,it was me
I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt
Against the wall
Who'd of thought,it was me
From there I couldn't even look over my shoulder
I kicked down all the walls and started all over.

And I don't paint myself into corners anymore
In a brittle heart of clay

If I'd a-known the way that this would end
If I'd a-read the last page first
If I'd a-had the strength to walk away
If I'd a-known how this would hurt

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'd a-loved you anyway

It's bittersweet to look back now
At mem'ries withered on the vine

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear bout growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl 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

I wanna know you (Don: I wanna know you)
Like I know myself

It's been a long road but we got here
It wasn't easy but it was true
We found out through all the bad times
It all comes down to me and you.

We held the greatest expectations
Only to find it was not to be
All the dreams we left behind us
Only serve to set us free.

Chorus:
We don't need no bag of silver
We don't need no fields of gold
Don't it make you high
Make you want to fly

Once I heard the whistle of a mournful midnight train
Sing a little duet with a siren in the rain
They sang about true love between the damned and the devout
And right then for a moment the fire in me blew out.

And for a moment I felt my shackled heart unchained
It was right then instant liberation
It was not long but I was set free
It was release for a moment love let go of me.

I think you do, then I think you don't
Maybe you will, maybe then you won't
Don't understand, baby why you can't
Just call it quits if you can't commit
I know what I want, I know how I feel
But I don't want your love if it ain't real, no
I think it's time you made up your mind
Baby, what's your plan, I need to understand it (are you).

Gonna love me or leave me

Ever since I lost you baby I've been here and there
Looking for some piece of mind, I can't find it anywhere
I went down to Tunica, played me a little blackjack
Saw a wino on the corner, gave my winnings back

Chorus:
If it was just money
Baby, I could make it
But living without you
Can I take it
All I see ahead of me is
Is just melancholy blue
Cause I ain't got no future without you

What do you do when love comes along
And offers your heart a chance to move on
With no guarantees, no safety net
You trust what you feel, you take that first step

Just close your eyes
Reach for the moment
Before it slips by
Here is your second chance
Take it and fly

The weight of the world, the need to survive
Has made you believe, that you've got no right
Then out of the blue, you meet someone

You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way.

The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull

(written by Jude Johnstone)

When we were still in love
I knew just what to do
For my heart was like a child at play
When all the world is new.

When we were still in love
I didn't have a fear
'Cause I still believed a love like ours
Would never disappear.

I remember everything
As if it were happening
When the promise that we made
Was everlasting.

When we were still in love

I am home now
Home now
I've been waiting for forever to find you
To find you ( To Find You)
I'm not alone now
Alone now
'Cause you've taken in my heart from the cold
All I know is everytime I look into your eyes
I'm home
I know

Chorus: You're where I belong
I belong with you
Your where I belong
And I know its the truth
You're a part of my heart
There's nothing I can do
