looking back

Put on that jacket and the skinny jeans
Walk through the door
Tonight you'll feel like a rich girl
Look like a rich girl
Play all those games like a rich girl

Tell all your friends you're on the guest list
You fake romance, its a death wish
Oh, tonight you'll feel like a rich girl
Play all those games like a rich girl

Don't you be shy, looking back will never take us anywhere

Hey now, looking back will never take us anywhere
If we don't know what we're looking for
Whoa hey now, thinkin bout that girl won't make it easier
Cause she don't care what you're lookin for

You keep your love in a tight fist
He keeps you tied to his pockets
Oh, he makes you feel like a rich girl
Play all those games like a rich girl
You call me up when he kicks you out
I make you a bed on the living room couch
And you don't look like a rich girl
So I don't treat you like a rich girl

Don't you be shy, looking back will never take us anywhere

Hey now, looking back will never take us anywhere
If we don't know what we're looking for
Whoa hey now, thinkin bout that girl won't make it easier
Cause she don't care what you're lookin for

When love comes around
You've only got one chance to make it work
We hold out our hands
Begging for the love we don't deserve
When love comes around
We forget the people that we hurt

sunshine (I can't always be there for you)

She wanted sunshine, only sunshine
But the weekends almost over
She takes the first train back to New York
She wants the good times, only good times
Mixed drinks and coffee beans
Now she'd say anything to me

Oh, I can't always be there for you
When you're livin like you do
Oh, I can't always be there for you

She made her mind up, she don't want love
But tonight she wants me over
So I take the last train up to new york
She takes her clothes off, I can't hold off
Bedside and tired eyes
So close but never close enough

Oh, I can't always be there for you
When you treat me like you do
Oh, I can't always be there for you

Its never enough to have it all
Its never enough when you get
everything you wanted for your heart
Its never enough to be alive
Will you take me through these grey skies?
Will you take me through this one more time?

She wanted sunshine, only sunshine
But tonight she can't feel anything
Before she jumps she takes a hold of me

Oh, I can't always be there for you
When you're livin like you do
Oh, I can't always be there for you

what we could have been

When we moved to the city
We had a shine inside our eyes
We had nothin in our pockets
But the time to change our lives
We got drunk and we stayed in
Slept on floors with all 'our friends
We are never far from what we could have been

All the pretty girls in this carnival
Spin 'round until they fall
All the boys will dream of a beauty queen
That doesn't need it all
But we got drunk and we stayed in
Slept on floors with all 'our friends
We are never far from what we could have been

All the couples fight and the singles dance
And the music plays along
Seems the city life isn't what we planned
We just had to have it all
So we got drunk and we stayed in
Slept on floors with all 'our friends
We are never far from what we could have been

becoming who we are

What will it take to make you see
What will it take to make you open up to me
I don't need time I just need sleep
I don't need time I just need...

I need a little more just to be with you
A little more just to hold onto
Becoming who we are
Becoming who we are

With all of you inside my head
The farther on we go, the more I will forget
We don't talk, we just read minds
This is who we are, we're changing all the time
I don't need time I just need you
I don't need time I just need...

I need a little more just to be with you
A little more just to hold onto
Becoming who we are
Becoming who we are

hideaway

Here in the house where I stay
All of my things are on display
Here in the bed where I sleep
With just enough room for both my feet
I can make space for you
I can put away the books I've read
I can make a bed for you
Pullin the covers over your head

Then you can try to hideaway
You can try to hideaway
Yeah, you can try to hideaway
You can try to hideaway
At my place

Lock all the doors and stay home
Pull all the curtains, turn off the phones
Two cups of coffee, cold hands
Sixty four days til spring again
I can make space for you
I can put away those books I've read
I can make a bed for you
Pullin the covers over your head

Then you can try to hideaway
You can try to hideaway
Yeah, you can try to hideaway
You can try to hideaway
At my place
