heart’s only broken in two
lucky you
heart’s only broken in two
lucky you

there’s a chance
someone will come along
and put it together
there’s a chance romance
will start your heart beating like new

mine’s in so many pieces
I can’t find them all

CHORUS: REPEAT

time will ease those memories
you’ll feel the joy of love
time will heal those wounds
soon two will become one

mine’s in so many pieces
I can’t find them all

CHORUS: REPEAT

been looking all around
every time I think I’ve found
a piece of me it slips away
when day breaks

CHORUS: REPEAT

mine’s in so many pieces
I can’t find them all
mine’s in so many places
it will never mend again

CHORUS: REPEAT

heart’s only broken in two
lucky, lucky, lucky you

unlucky me

so cold

last summer was colder than winter
sunlight all bright and hard edges
wind blew right through me
whitecaps seemed like snow-covered
mountaintops to me

last summer was colder than winter
boys and girls voices drifted in
all laughing while I’m crying
like nothing bad could ever
happen to them

last summer

on holiday
from all sense of right or wrong
on vacay
from any memory of when
you said your heart belonged to me

so cold

last summer was colder than winter
blue skies
ice in my veins
felt like it would never melt again
even that day it was ninety eight

last summer was colder than winter
life was a beach
as I stared at each girl in a bikini
wondering which one you wished
you were with instead of me

last summer

on holiday
from all sense of right or wrong
on vacay
from any memory of when
you said your heart belonged to me

last summer was colder than winter
like in the middle of a snowglobe
you took my world
you shook my world
and it snowed and snowed
and snowed and snowed

last summer
was colder than winter
last summer
was colder than winter

maybe I should have stayed
with the hate
maybe that would have been
easier for me to take
instead of this ricochet
between love and hate
every night and every day

it’s so much harder for my heart
when I look at you with love
and try to figure out how you could of
done that with them
said that
been him

stay ... away

maybe I should have stayed
with revenge
maybe I should have fought
till the bitter end, nothing forgiven
instead of letting it all be
everything, everyone unpunished
except me

how can I ever reconcile
the way I now feel with you
when all the while I know
that you’re someone who’s
done that with them
said that
been him

maybe i should have stayed
with the hate
it’s just too late

stay … away

maybe I ought to have turned away
stayed away
run away
when our eyes first met
thought it was fate
but fate twists both ways

maybe I should have stuck with my plan
stayed on my path
not got off for the love of a man
trust is an all or nothing thing
will I spend my life waiting
to be hurt once more
will it ever be like before you’d
done that with them
said that
been him

maybe I should have stayed
maybe I should have stayed away
maybe I should have stayed
with the hate
it’s just too late
can’t stay away

how can it be love
when I’m not the one who
you’re telling it to
how can it be love
when I’m not the one who
you’re thinking of

how can it be
how can it be
how can it be love

how can it be real
when I still feel your arms
wrapped around me

how can it be real
when I still smell your scent
on my body

how can it be
how can it be
how can it be real

how can it be dawn
there’s no sun in my sky
it’s so dark inside

how can it be dawn
when you never came home
you never phoned

how can it be
how can it be
how can it be dawn

how can it be dawn
how can you be gone
how can I go on

how can it be real
when I still taste your kiss
on my lips


how can it be real
when I still hear you whisper
in my ear
love you dear

how it be love
when I’m the one who
you’re telling it to

how can it be love
when I’m not the one who
you’re dreaming of

how can it be
how can it be
how can it be
how can it be

how can it be you
how can it be me
how can there no longer be we

how can it be
how can it be
how can it be love

oooh baby
that summer by the bend
goin’ crazy
thought it would never end

current was flowing
tall grasses blowing
got to know him

new moon was rising
soft voices sighing
sweet secrets in the wind
wondering
how many Mississippis
how many Mississippis till he’s gone

oooh baby
August is almost gone
no way he
won’t soon be moving on

hear the world humming
they’re up and running
why can’t I

Northern lights calling
temperature’s falling
so am I
in a spin
wondering
how many Mississippis
how many Mississippis
till he’s gone

girl in slow motion
hoping the world will stand still
close my eyes tight
dream of him tonight
maybe it will

one Mississippi
two Mississippi
three Mississippi
four

five Mississippi
six Mississippi
seven Mississippi
more

current is flowing
tall grasses blowing
summer is coming
everything’s glowing

new moon is rising
soft voices sighing
where you been wandering
wondering

how many Mississippis
how many Mississippis
till he’s gone
he’s gone
he’s gone

girl in slow motion
girl in slow motion
girl in slow motion

just when I thought it was safe
out on my own
thought I had grown
accustomed to life without you
I should have known

just when I though I could feel
good about me
thought time had healed
all of my wounds all my scars
here they are

just when I thought it was safe
just then
just then
I saw your face

just when I thought it was safe
thought you were gone
I had moved on
here I am back at square one
right back where it all started from

just when I thought no more doubt
the smoke had cleared
the fire was out
it’s burning bright, burning strong
oh how could I have been so wrong

just when i thought it was safe
just then
just then
i saw your face
just when I thought it was safe

thought I’d changed in many ways
now I’m back in yesterday
won some battles
lost the war
it’s just like it was before

just when I thought it was safe
just then
just then
I saw your face
just when I thought it was safe

just when I thought it was safe
out on my own
thought I had grown
accustomed to life without you
I should have known

just when I thought I survived
weathered the storm
no need to hide
here comes the wind and the rain
once again

just when I thought it was safe
just then
just then
I saw your face

just when I thought it was safe
just when I thought I could feel
just when I thought it was real

just when I thought it was safe
just when I thought I was free
just when I thought I could breathe

just then
just then
I saw your face
just when I thought it was safe

when did I begin resembling
such a trembling leaf
on this tree of life
out on a limb just waiting
for something
to blow me away from you

CHORUS:

when did I become so unsure
of you, of me, of everything
when did I become so unsure
of your love

when did I learn to walk so well
on eggshells
not a word to disturb
this fragile truce between me and you
nothing to break us in two again

CHORUS: REPEAT

maybe I never really was secure
and it was there before
just waiting for somebody like you to
open up the door
and let all those ghosts out once more

CHORUS: REPEAT

when did I start reacting to
your bad moods
like they’re about me not you

when did I begin running
when the phone rings
afraid of missing you
your voice something
to hang on to

CHORUS: REPEAT

when did I stop being the one
the only one
you’d come with and come home to

when did you stop being the one
who said no one
could come between me and you

CHORUS: REPEAT

when did we become so unsure
when did we become so undone

like a cloud on the horizon billowing
like a cloud with no silver lining
that’s waiting for me

this storm has so many warnings
that I don’t heed
this storm has thunder and lightning
but I’m not listening

like a wind gusting in to blow us away
out to sea, no place for me
to land for days and days and days

this storm has so many warnings
that I don’t heed
this storm has thunder and lightning
but I’m not listening
and I can’t seem to see…

seemed so calm
I felt safe and warm
it had died down
they were gone
I was so wrong
eye of the storm

this storm…this storm…this storm

like the sky goes light to dark so suddenly
no time for you and me
to make it home safely

will I be soaked to the bone and shivering
will I spend this night alone
without your company

CHORUS: repeat

this storm has so many warnings
that I need to heed
that I need to hear
that I need to see

I was so wrong
eye of the storm
this storm…this storm…this storm

CHORUS:

no matter how good it feels
what soothes won’t always heal
no matter how good it feels
what soothes won’t always heal

got to party every night till dawn
I hardly ever sleep
never alone
buy lots of things
but nothing makes it home

CHORUS: repeat

a high a guy a list, I’m on it
no past. no future
just in the moment
lose myself then
morning finds me again

CHORUS: repeat

no matter how smooth
it always gets rough
no matter how hot
it always blows cold
no matter how close
it’s never close enough

CHORUS: repeat

a smile, a sigh, a lie
try to believe
everything’s all right
without you and me
but these scars are so deep
my heart keeps telling me

CHORUS: repeat

no matter how young
it always grows old
no matter how bright
it always goes dark
no matter how high
it always comes back down
to who I am
to who you are

CHORUS: repeat

no matter how hot
no matter how high
no matter how close
no matter how bright
no matter how smooth
if it’s not you

soothe me…soothe me

haven’t felt elated lately
my emotional range
seems to have changed
the lows are still so low
but the high end isn’t happenin’

sure I laugh, smile and joke
cry out when we make love
but the shadows are always lurking
and the high end isn’t working
feeling anything...

like the rush when we first were
together again
like the hush of those early mornin’s
in your arms, in your life once again

haven’t felt that way lately
did all those love-hate freefalls break it
down too low to go
up where we were before
in the high end...has it all ended...

like the rush when we first were
together again
like the hush of those early mornin’s
like the crush of my heart beatin’
against yours once more

haven’t felt elated lately
my emotional range
seems to have changed
the lows are still so low
but the high end isn’t happenin’
isn’t workin’, feelin’ anythin’

I know we can get there again
just hold on tight
we’ll get there tonight

I know we can begin again
reach those old heights
just hold on real tight
we’ll get there tonight

I’m afraid of heights
afraid of falling
from where we’ve climbed
it took so much time

head in the clouds
so scared to look down
at where we were
the facts on the ground

I’m afraid to breathe
this rarified air
makes me dizzy
when we’re back up there

flying so high without a net
gotta hold tight
can’t ever let go
please don’t let me go

I’m afraid that the gravity
of what you did to me
will always pull us
from this ecstasy

the sky is mine
the sky is yours
how far will we soar
or will we fall
is it better to never
have flown at all

I’m afraid I’ve lost
my sense of balance
is it really you
I should hold on to

head over heels
in the spin I’m in
can’t tell what’s real
from what I’m imaginin’

I’m afraid…I’m afraid
I’m afraid of love
afraid of falling
in and out of
these feelings, still reeling

I’m afraid of us
afraid of what
happened back then
beginning again

the sky was mine
the sky was ours
the higher you soar
the more it hurts to fall
is it better to never
have flown at all

I’m afraid of heights
afraid of flying
I’m afraid of heights
afraid of falling
in and out of
love with you again

they say I should see
more than what’s in front of me
but I’m too busy
concentrating on you and me
to care about the periphery

they say someday I’ll hit the wall
may lose it all
but I can’t look ahead
I’d rather look at you instead

CHORUS:

no peripheral vision at all
don’t care if I walk into walls
who knows what tomorrow may be
what’s around the corner...not me

they say I should learn
from the past or I’ll get burned
but this flame’s so bright
I can’t see what’s left or right
I’m too blinded by your light

they say life’s no mystery
if you have a clue
but I’m not searching
already found it here with you

CHORUS: repeat

you say you love me
that’s all the future that I need
reflections of me
in your eyes are all I see

CHORUS: repeat

they say I
they say you
I say ahhhhhhhhh
all I see, all I see, all I see
is you and me

they say I should see
more than what’s in front of me
but I’m too busy
concentrating on you and me
to care about the periphery

it’s not your dark side
don’t romanticize
it’s real easy
for me to shine a light
on what happened here
you just reached that year
when men panic, didn’t you dear

inside, outside
you’re not who you think you are

it’s not your bold side
don’t you fantasize
you just followed
did what you were told
no matter how low
was it so adventurous
to forget all about us

inside, outside
you’re not who you think you are
upside, downside
they’re not who you think you are
your side, my side
you’ve got to decide

it’s not your party side
don’t you realize
you’re not the fun one
if it takes that much
to get it up, to get in touch
just how low
you must’ve been before

it’s not your dark side
don’t romanticize
it’s real easy
for me to shine a light
on what happened here
you just reached that year
when men panic
didn’t you, didn’t you, didn’t you dear

inside, outside
you’re not who you think you are
