come out tonight
i've been calling all night but you won't answer me
but i know you're home 'cause your light's on you see
i know your pops don't like me but that's alright
just sneak out the window and come out tonight!
we've been waiting all year for the summer to come
so now that it's here we gotta know when to run
i'll be waiting 'round the corner, i'll be way out of site
and no one will notice when you meet me tonight!
i know you've got plans for what you want to be
and i don't expect you to change them for me
you'll make a name for yourself, yeah your future looks bright
just put that aside and come out tonight!
the night's are getting warm, the days are too
i know it's hard to say, it's hard to do
and i don't know what to do, so i'll wait for you...
starshine
hangin' out, stars in the night
up above, shining so bright
staying here, please don't tell me no
'cause i don't know where to go
wishin' that you were here
like it was just last year
looking back at all the good times
things were just oh so fine
come along and i'll sing this song
with you
small town saturday night
here comes the night, now the town is so alive
bring your brand new record player and i'll bring my 45's
the night's about to begin, the band's getting ready to sing
while them boys from the travelling carnival
crash the dance at the high school gym
sun sets at The Dynamo, there's a place that we can go
fill my name onto your dance card and we'll take the night real slow
while the desperate hearts on the pier
- as the end of the night draws near -
know that you can't be alone on a night like this
when your sweet summer dream's right here
so we can stay out all night and i'll take all the blame
'cause you know when the morning comes
this town won't be the same
down at the old arcade, i've been thinking of the ways
if only you could stay with me again
oh baby, i feel so fine, 'cause you're here with me tonight
i've been waiting my whole life, i won't wait no more!
carolina
if this is a dream, don't let me wake
then everything will stay the same
when summer ends - it won't be long -
i'll wave goodbye, and you'll be gone
carolina, catalonia, california, barcelona
i'll be waiting at the station, i'll wait in anticipation
we walked late last night along the beach
you seemed so near, but out of reach
and then you said "you're not the one"
'cause you were born just to run!
carolina, catalonia, california, barcelona
i'll be waiting at the station, i'll wait in anticipation
don't see me when i'm falling, can't you hear me when i'm calling
no you're not thinking about me, so i'll stop thinking about you
carolina!!!
as summer fades away
...
at the winterland
the boys swagger down the hallway
hands tucked inside their overcoats
while a crowd gathers in the parking lot
as the girls slam drinks down their throats
so meet me at The Winterland
i don't know if you'll understand
just meet me at The Winterland Ballroom
i held the flame for you so long
darlin' oh there was no doubt
i never meant for this to happen
i'm sorry but the flame burnt out
so meet me at The Winterland
i wonder if you'll understand
meet me at The Winterland Ballroom (i know it's true...)
and then you walk into the room, and i feel the same way i used to
but it looks like you've brought someone else with you
so i'll pretend that i don't care, but that won't get me anywhere
'cause i'm not fooling anyone but me, oh can't you see???
so meet me at The Winterland
and then maybe i'll understand
just meet me at The Winterland Ballroom
metropolitan shuffle
boy: we've been apart for oh so long, now i don't know you anymore
girl: i know it's sad to say but now i feel the same way too
boy: don't you recall the pact we made that night we had so much to say?
girl: well we were young and had no plans, we just lived our lives day to day
the times have changed, we're not the same, we're not the same
boy: you've made new friends, you've had your fun, but you forgot all your old ones
girl: i'll write you soon, i'll be back again, and you will always be my friend
boy: we'll drift apart, it's plain to see, i'll forget you, and you'll forget me
girl: it doesn' have to be that way, we might be here again someday
without your love, i'm dreaming of, i'm dreaming of
somewhere, out there, we'll find a way
if we don't we see it out there, we'll wait for that day
and in the end, 'll lose another friend
and then i'll realise
despite what we believed, it wasn't meant to be
so won't you please accept my apology?
the fall of the emerald city
every night that you're gone, i'll be singing this old song
every day that goes by i can't help but wonder why
we've been searching everywhere for a dream that's just not there
if only we'd rewind the time then everything would turn out fine
now it seems it's just a dream that won't last
so i'm searching for a link into the past
i was told that long ago a city fell, we did not know
i shed a tear, and since then i've never been the same again
all the roads that i've been down, to find a way out of this town
only prove that they won't do, 'cause they all lead me back to you
now it seems it's just a dream that won't last
so i'm searching for a link into the past (then you said)
"get up and stop your dreaming, there's no point in believing
the past is gone when you've finished your song"
your train leaves here tomorrow, i'm left with nothing but sorrow
and nothing to say as you're riding away
every night that you're gone, i'll be singing this old song
every day that goes by i can't help but wonder why
now i see it's just a dream that won't last
so i'm searching for a link into the past
outside your window
just yesterday you went away,
and i'm not sure but i think you'll be gone to stay
but you said you'd come back someday
so i'll wait for that day
all of things that i wanted to say
just take you further everday
now that i've got nowhere to go
i'll sing outside your window
so i think i'll drown all my fears,
and i guess those girls are alright 'cause they're near
but they just make it all too clear
that you're not here
all of things that i wanted to say
just take you further everday
now that i've got nowhere to go
i'll sing outside your window
and the music faded into the night....
