Change - John Waite

Morning is breaking up We've been waiting long For the light to come I used to be one of us Now it's all of us And this world I'm waking up to I know we're not there We're not starting off great But I'm doing better I feel something changing again I cry to the ocean, it said You know better than that You've got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But the world doesn't owe you nothing You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change And all that I was is not What I am right now Not even halfway there Time to find out Sweet sea of ignorance We confuse ourselves With everything we got all around us And I know we're not there yet We're not starting off great But we're doing better I feel something changing again I cry to the ocean, it said You know better than that You got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But the world doesn't owe you nothing You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change And I, I cry to the ocean, it said (you know better than that) Yeah, I know better than that (You've got excuses, but they're all in the past) I've got excuses, but they're all in the past I cried to heaven just to deal with the pain But heaven can't help you honey If you don't want to change You gotta change Change (change) Change We're changing Change (change) Change I feel something changing Change (change) Change I know I can Change (change) We gotta Change

Everywhere I go I find a little lost loves Taken with the tide My naivete dies Thrown up in the waves The salt underneath us shakes Heavy on the sea Our bodies wash up on the beach A slow fight Signs in the sky But we swore we'd try The waters cold No going home But we're still on hold I I I I and I Told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit Kingdom of the sky You're my religion in life But I'm thirsty for the blood A Burning desire for lust Frozen in a state Of loving you anyway Cause loving you is sweet When I'm not chasing fantasies Told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit All my life (all my life) Been falling out of time (been falling out of time) Been falling in and out again oh And I told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go your way But I'm still thinking the same things And I told you I would change But I'm still doing the same shit And yeah you thought I'd go ur way But I'm still thinking the same things Strangers in loving Absently holding you It's always catching us up And yeah you told me you would change You're spinning out of my orbit

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away I wonder this time where she's gone I wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't a home Anytime she goes away Oh yeah I know I know I know I know I know I know it Every single day I know I know I know I know Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness everyday yeah Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't a home Every time she goes away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Every time she goes away I know I know I know I know I know I know Every single time she goes away I know I know I know I know Miss her every single day I know I know I know I know I know I know I can't leave that thing alone There ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Every time she goes away (goes away) Oh yeah Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't a home Every time she goes away (goes away Oh yeah Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Every time she goes away

There was a time When I thought I knew Everything about This great big world Until I met you Into my life Like a brand new sun Now I find my home Inside your eyes Wherever you are It's hard to say it Cause I hide things so good But you make me say it Like only you could I love you More than any man could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you For the longest time Playing games of solitaire Taking my wine But now I'm with you baby And I can dream out loud You're as pretty as a picture And you make me so proud It's hard to say it Cause I hide things so good But you make me say it Like only you could I love you More than any man could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here There? s nothing in this world I couldn't do So how did I get by without you You love me Now I know that I'm the lucky guy You've got me And there's nowhere I can hide So I'll be here I believe that all my dreams came true So how did I get by without you In the morning light To see you wake up next to me It? s a beautiful sight Now everything's alright Yeah I love you More than any words could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you You love me Now I know that I'm the lucky guy You've got me And there's nowhere I can hide So I'll stay here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you How did I get by How did I get by without you in my world How did I get by without you as my girl You're beautiful Beautiful So how did I get by without you Without you Without you

All I ever wanted was to get away And spend some time alone To a big house in the country To a private yacht with Wall St. on the phone And in a million dollar paradise Maybe I could sing a better song But I've found something different now And I finally understand That money gets you everything But it slips straight through your hands And it's love that makes the world go round And it's nationwide from town to town It gets you coming up and going down And it makes everything alright I'd give you everything and that's a start To get next to you and the keys to your heart There's something going on here Something going on behind your eyes You got me feeling kind of nervous With that Mona Lisa smile And maybe I could get a steady job Bring home the bacon 9 to 5 See I'd do anything to win you Anything at all, I've got my cards Down on the table, baby We could have a ball! Chorus There was a time when I believed That I'd be Ok Living by myself Then I laid eyes on you And I believe that I became somebody else Now I believe... yeah! yeah! yeah!

Babe I had a dream Woke up in a sweat Darkness all around me I was caught in its net Tried to reach for you But you weren't there It only was a dream But it put danger in the air I can feel the nervous rhythm Of your heart with mine Could we ever stay together Stand the test of time Baby make me a believer Cause this world will lie (Oh these times are hard for lovers) It's getting harder for you and me (Oh) It's hard on me and you Baby we can make it Cause our love will pull us through These times are hard for lovers It's down to me in you Nothing's gonna break us If we hang on to what's true These times are hard for lovers I believe in you These times are hard for lovers I believe in you Everywhere you turn Trouble going on Living under pressure Loving under the gun It's hard enough to live Draw another breath Hang on to me baby Like it's life or death I can feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine Could we ever stay together Stand the test of time Baby make me a believer Cause this world will lie (Oh these times are hard for lovers) It's getting harder for you and me (Oh) It's hard on me and you Baby we can make it Cause our love will pull us through These times are hard for lovers It's down to me in you Nothing's gonna break us If we hang on to what's true These times are hard for lovers I believe in you These times are hard for lovers I believe in you Can you feel the nervous rhythm of your heart with mine Could we ever stay together Stand the test of time Baby make me a believer Cause this world will lie We've got to go the distance Touch the sky Baby we can make it Cause our love will pull us through These times are hard for lovers It's down to me in you Nothing's gonna break us If we hang on to what's true These times are hard for lovers I believe in you (These times are hard for lovers whoa) Whoa (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) (These times are hard for lovers whoa) Whoa (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) I believe in you (These times are hard for lovers whoa) When I turn to you (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) Yeah But I don't believe it (These times are hard for lovers whoa) Yeah (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) Whoa (These times are hard for lovers whoa) Baby I believe in you (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah) Baby I believe in you (These times are hard for lovers whoa) Baby I believe in you (These times are hard for lovers oh yeah)
