1. give it another day
you started it, you wanted it, you got it and then
you go and pretend that you didn't
complacency, a vacancy checks into your heart
and begs like a dog 'til you kick it
'til you do we might as well give it another day
give it another day
i carried you, i buried you with young hungry love
it wasn't enough for you, was it
i'll wait for you, i'll stay for you, i'll play like a friend
until you begin to recover
'til you do we might as well give it another day
give it another day
i can tell you're doing well
it's not so easy to believe in someone else
'til you do we might as well give it another day
give it another day

2. pill
you say you can't pay attention
it's getting pretty rough
you feel a little down now and you can't get it up
they got a pill for that
now the pressure is rising
it's getting to your head
nothing is exciting
you wanna stay in bed
they got a pill for that
side effects may include:
headache and anxiety
loss of appetite
mood swings
palpation and dry lips
no desire to be kissed
you lie down in the darkness
it's there when you awake
hounded by a problem
haunted by mistakes
they got a pill for that

3. been so good
baby, you've been so good to me
and i love you
you set my soul at ease
tidal waves, hurricanes or an unpleasant dream
you're the one who would come over and rescue me
you're beautiful
you've been so good to me
i need you
a mind needs to be free
shake the walls, take them all down with your tenderness
i've been loved, lifted up but never sent like this
you lift me higher
sweet thing, you've been so good to me
i want you
i want you to believe
wear your hope like a coat, don't let your heart go cold
don't forget you're the best friend that i've ever known
you lift me higher
alright!
you've been so good to me
you lift me higher

4. always
break those chains tonight
hold your head up high
'cause you ain't done nothing wrong
and you always will belong
always
clouds and dogs and trees
stones and sunlit streams
demons on dark roads
shadows at the door
always
break those chains tonight
hold your head up high
'cause you ain't done nothing wrong
and you always will belong
always

5. 2 o'clock in the morning
well it's 2 o'clock in the morning
and i'm sitting, thinking, wondering, getting curious about one thing
because you and i have a lot in common
and i figure it's the reason why we get along so easily
natural friends
oh yeah yeah yeah
would it ruin everything if i wake up and find your arm around me
well the mind can play some games and think some things that are entirely wrong
and i'm trying to restrain myself and make myself not notice your charm
but it's 2 o'clock in the morning
and i'm sitting, thinking, wondering if you're sitting, thinking and wondering
natural friends
oh yeah yeah yeah
would it ruin everything if i wake up and find your arm around me
oh and it aches like a secret
and i can't hardly keep it
walk away before we get lost
it's 2 o'clock in the morning
would it ruin everything if i wake up and find you here with me

well the air is warm tonight and i'm feeling good
and my step is high and light and i'm feeling good
i'm gonna hang out on the avenue
i'm gonna hang out with my friends all night
we're gonna hang out on the avenue
everybody's acting nice and i'm feeling good
i'll go down and have a slice 'cause i'm feeling good

7. waiting for me
you call me up on a saturday night
half intoxicated with a crazy bunch of guys
say you're at a party and i really oughta come
then you hold the phone up so that i can hear the hot drum beat
if you're waiting for me
you'll be waiting for a long time
i don't wanna leave the heart of fun and happiness
i don't wanna walk away from love and tenderness
i'll be on the sofa watching rented videos
i'll be getting closer to the one who satisfies my soul
if you're waiting for me
you'll be waiting for a long time
i have up and changed my ways
things will never be the same
it isn't like i'm missing out on anything tonight
happy as can be i got my babies by my side
one day i will turn around and they will all be grown
the they will be going out and won't be staying home with me
if you're waiting for me
you'll be waiting for a long time
i have up and changed my ways
things will never be the same

8. you come back
oh very soon
there will come a day when the night brings you to me
i remember standing there waiting by your door
staring at the floor at the light coming through
i was dying to see you
dying to be with you
oh very soon
three, four people always seem to be hanging around
you can hear the sound coming down in the room
i have seen you don't you know i've seen you before
standing at the shore with the sea in your eye
you come back with a purple flag in your hand
you come back with a look i can't understand
seasons changing turning like the breeze into stone
it can be so cold when the wind blows at home
i could feel it i could feel a song coming on
like i'd never sung, it's a song for no one
you come back with a purple flag in your hand
you come back with a look i can't understand
i was dying to see you
dying to be with you
oh very soon
you come back with a purple flag in your hand
you come back with a look i can't understand

9. it takes love
you've been treated bad
lonely times are what you've had
fighting is all you know
you have learned what you were shown
it takes love to grow
habits are not like hearts, breaking them is very hard
but you got to want to change
who can make you do anything
it takes love to grow
would you forgive me for leaving you one day?
would you forgive yourself for pushing me away?
i thought we could be friends always to the end
games you play hurt me so
lately, i don't know
it takes love to grow

10. bad way
i felt it crawling on my body
it was somewhere underneath the sheet
i awoke out of a pleasant dream to find out what was crawling on me
and then the phone rang in the darkness
when it startled me i said, "hello hello."
what they told me made me so distressed
i said that i had to go
it was a bad way to start the day
i learned to live with it
i learned to push on through
i learned to live with it
what else could i do
i put my face into my pillow and i did not want to cry
as the sun came up into my window
tears came up into my eyes
it was a bad way to start the day
i learned to live with it
i learned to push on through
i learned to live with it
what else could i do
