Crossfire

There's a still in the street outside your window And you're keeping secrets on your pillow Let me inside: no cause for alarm I promise tonight not to do no harm I promise you babe I won't do you no harm And we're caught up in the crossfire Of Heaven and Hell And we're searching for shelter Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Watching your dress as you turn down the light I forget all about the storm outside Dark clouds roll their way over town Heartache and pain came a-pouring down like Hail sleet and rain yeah, they're handing it out And we're caught up in the crossfire Of Heaven and Hell And we're searching for shelter Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came His firey arrows drew their beat in vain And when the hardest part is over we'll be here And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear The boundaries of our fear Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Lay your body down Next to mine

When the shadows come And the night is fallin' And the voices tell you this might be the end when Screamin' when your heart is barely beatin' When your lungs are barely breathin' (breathin') Thinkin' this might be the end when When you're caught in a When you're caught in a When you're caught in a Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Crossfire When you're losin' yourself, I'll bе runnin' to help If you're broken again, this ain't the end The darkness is a liar Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Hold on Hold on When you've loved and lost Broken into pieces And your demons tell you no one's gonna hear you Screamin' when your heart is barely beatin' Don't ever stop believin' (believin') 'Cause this won't be the end Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Crossfire When you're losin' yourself, I'll be runnin' to help If you're broken again, this ain't the end The darkness is a liar Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Hold on Hold on When you're caught in a When you're caught in a When you're caught in a Screamin' when your heart is barely beatin' Don't ever stop believin' (believin') 'Cause this won't be the end when Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Crossfire When you're losin' yourself, I'll be runnin' to help If you're broken again, this ain't the end The darkness is a liar Crossfire When you're goin' through hell and you're screamin' for help Hold on Hold on When you're caught in a When you're caught in a When you're caught in a Crossfire

When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer Our lives become a waiting game If there was ever a way It only leads me to wonder If it's as simple as you say If it's as simple as you say If it's as simple as When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer We'll curse the names of those that led us here Where blood once stained the earth From homes reduced to ash and dust The only known survivors left to burn For all our sins, scapegoats to the cause Charred remains in unmarked graves Biding time 'til karma takes its course (takes its course) It only leads me to wonder If it's as simple as you say You promised us a better tomorrow (tomorrow) I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time) If our only hope is to beg and to borrow We'll cut our losses There's nothing left to leave behind (There's nothing left to leave behind) How dare you ask me to stand alone Against this onslaught, the oncoming hordes When I have watched as history reaps and sows? Only bloodshed, a symphony of restless souls The mind's eye is a terrible liar We lowered our guard, now we're caught in the crossfire Battered, broken and bruised Tattered and torn, we refuse to expire We're caught in the crossfire When we have nothing to say When we have nothing to offer We'll curse the names of those that led us here You promised us a better tomorrow (a better tomorrow) I don't know if I believe it this time (I don't believe it this time) If our only hope is to beg and to borrow We'll cut our losses There's nothing left to leave behind A God's hand has a will of its own But still you ask me to stand alone (stand alone) I'm not equipped to face this on my own

Lights out, lights out on every street It's like God turned a switch on us Shout out, shout out for someone to hear There's nobody left but the two of us Hold tight, hold tight to memories Oh my, it's so hard to let it go Shout out, shout out for someone to hear There's nobody left but the two of us Oh Lord What if we can say that we made it? Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Nothing there was broken and wasted Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh We were all caught in the crossfire And everyone was starting to wait They're just waiting for a change They're just waiting for a change Dark clouds, dark clouds in every sky We run fast towards the light You say, you say that you'll get your people off And just like a happy life All those years we spent alone There must be life after tragedy Shout out, shout out for someone to hear But there's nothing left but the memory Oh Lord What if we can say that we made it? Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Nothing there was broken or wasted Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh We were all caught in the crossfire And everyone was starting to wait They're just waiting for a change They're just waiting for a- What if this is not our fate And we still have the time? And what if everybody stood with arm in arm to fight together? Oh Lord What if we can say that we made it? Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Nothing there was broken or wasted Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh We were all caught in the crossfire And everyone was stood in the way They're just waiting for a change They're just waiting for Oh Lord What if we can say that we made it? Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Nothing there was broken and wasted Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh We were all caught in the crossfire And everyone was starting to wait They're just waiting for a change They're just waiting for a change

Sleep some nights it just don't show When you've pushed and life won't go Your dreams get lost and your sorrows grow You read and try to watch T.V. take a drive out to the sea You might break down but you can't break free. Standin' in the crossfire Hangin' from a live wire. Reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind. Standin' in the crossfire Stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason and Lookin' for a friend. Dream your eyes are almost blind They photograph your mind And leave a trace of her love in time. Night's You live the smokey past Try to break the spell she cast. You start out first but you end up last. Standin' in the crossfire Hangin' from a live wire reachin' for a lost smile and hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire Stranded on a high wire runnin' from a reason and Lookin' for a friend... Standin' a cross fire hangin' from a live wire Reachin' for a lost smile n hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire n Stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason n lookin' for a friend standing in a cross fire hangin' from a live wire reachin' for a lost smile hidin' in the wind Standin' in a cross fire stranded on a high wire Runnin' from a reason n look'n for a friend...

I should bite my tongue, you could walk away But that wouldn't feel the same So let bullets fly, and tell me lies again 'Cause I'd rather be nowhere with you than somewhere without you Brave this storm than be safe and warm I'd do the dark days with you than a summer without you I would (I would) Mmm, I would (I would) So can't we just stay in the crossfire? Where we both have eachother So lets dance in flames 'Cause all that we need is someone to hold on to Stay in the crossfire What we've built might burn to the ground So let's stay in the flames 'Cause all that we need is someone to hold on to (Ooooh, oooh-woah) (Someone to hold on to) You shook your shoulders, I throw the blame Words you know I don't mean But if we told the truth our hearts would dissipate Still I'd rather be nowhere with you than somewhere without you Brave this storm than be safe and warm I'd do the dark days with you than a summer without you I would Mmm, I would So can't we just stay in the crossfire? Where we both have eachother So lets dance in the flames 'Cause all that we need is someone to hold on to Stay in the crossfire What we've built might burn to the ground So let's stay in the flames 'Cause all that we need is someone to hold on to (Ooooh, oooh-woah, someone to hold on to) (Ooooh, oooh-woah, someone to hold on to) All that we need is someone Is someone to hold on to All that we need is someone Is someone, is someone So can't we just stay in the crossfire? What we've built might burn to the ground So let's stay in the flames 'Cause all that we need is someone to hold on to Ooooh, oooh-woah Someone to hold on to Ooooh, oooh-woah Someone to hold on to
