Song: I Really Want You

Lyrics

I really want you
I really want you…

Many prophets preach on bended knee
Many clerics wasted wine
Do the bloody sheets on those cobbled streets mean
I have wasted time

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land
My enemy I’m told

I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates that you can’t do that
But fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain?
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but
Lady luck for rain?

They say a million people bow and scrape
To an effigy of gold
I saw life begin
And the ship we’re in
And history unfold

I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can’t do that
But fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
Of my breaking heart

I really want you
I really want you
I really want you….

Song: Same Mistake

Lyrics

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go

Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go…

And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night
Said he’d seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself and here I go…

I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake again

And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak
Don’t buy the promises ’cause there are no promises I keep
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go…

I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake

I’m not calling for a second chance
I’m screaming at the top of my voice
Give me reason but don’t give me choice
‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake again…
