Well it used to be That you couldn't tell me anything Just another young fool Who thought he knew it all I was runnin' hard and fast Thinkin' I was invincible 'Til I hit the wall I hit the wall And I need you now like I needed you then To help me get back up on my feet again Only you and you alone Can turn my stumbling blocks into stepping stones --- Instrumental --- Well you stood by me When everyone else had written me off And you stayed with me For reasons I'll never know Surrounded by troubled waters I was all but lost And you were my bridge across My bridge across And I need you now like I needed you then To help me get back up on my feet again Only you and you alone Can turn my stumbling blocks into stepping stones All the times I stumbled down You lifted me up to higher ground --- Instrumentl --- And I need you now like I needed you then To help me get back up on my feet again Only you and you alone Can turn my stumbling blocks into stepping stones Turn my stumbling blocks into stepping stones Stepping stones Stepping stones Stepping stones...

I wake you up in the middle of the night Just to see your face, just to see your smile It's been some time, it's been a while It's unfamiliar but still reminds me of the greatest day that I ever saw It was some time ago, but it still lives on Close my eyes, it don't last too long There you were, now here we are I found home, it gets easier I found home, leave it all behind, yeah Now I found love, I lost my mind When you lose yourself, you're not too hard to find We can turn it back, we can press rewind So, buy me a ticket, let's take a ride Life is full of highs and lows It's a ragged course of stop and goes Building blocks and stepping stones I will never take the easy road again I found home, it gets easier I found home, leave it all behind, yeah So, who I am? And who am I? And we ask ourselves, and we wonder why I guess I'm not too afraid of dying Just afraid of living too fast a life No amount of time when you don't exist Of course life itself is the greatest gift Your heart's desire is my only wish We could have it all, I will show you this I found home, it gets easier I found home, leave it all behind, yeah It gets easier (I found home) It gets easier It gets easier It gets easier It gets easier (I found home) It gets easier It gets easier (leave it all behind, yeah) It gets easier (I will never take the easy road again)

I remember way back, way back when I said I never wanna see your face again 'Cause you were loving, yes you're loving somebody else And I knew, oh yes, I knew I couldn't control myself And now they bring you back into my life again And so I put on a face just like your friends But I think you know, oh yes, you know what's going on 'Cause the feelings in me, oh yes, in me are burning strong But I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own You used to call me up from time to time And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse And I knew, oh yes, I knew they'd only make it worse And now you have the nerve to play along Just like the maestro beats in your song You got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me And the less you give the more I want so foolishly But I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own No, I will never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own Never be your stepping stone Take it all or leave me alone I will never be your stepping stone I'm standing upright on my own

I've got miles up ahead, with nothing but my thoughts The radio's gone M.I.A Sometimes there's just nothing like, a long drive to feel alright Better than any therapy The dusk comes creeping overhead And the headlights dance among the red The daylight's conceding, the moon is revealing An endless ceiling above, like billion specks of dust The stars light up the sky An outback lullaby, lullaby I'm settling the dust as the wheels roll to a stop Silence weaves a melody I'm here on my own, It's strange but I don't feel alone Got a universe for company And it's times like this I open up my ears And I fall in love 50 thousand years Where echos still roam, and footprints still linger And stories I thought were a dream, they're right in front of me As the land begins to sigh An outback lullaby, lullaby What if all the world could see me now soaking up the last of the heat, lying on the ground I'll always remember this, when the city smoke gets back in my eyes The moment I lost myself to the night sky An outback lullaby, lullaby Lullaby, lullaby

A sense of relief washed over me When you finally whispered goodbye And the blame fell to you, not I The anger and pain stung me again As the bandages fell to the floor These scars weren't there before You tore me down One piece at a time, so I'd fall in line Guess the warning's true You leave a blaze of destruction behind you Blinded by faith in the plans that we made I wouldn't believe them all That even the gods can fall Now I'm fighting infernos with buckets and blankets And no hope of winning this game Smoke me out, scorch the ground, fanning your our flames You tore me down One piece at a time, so I'd fall in line Guess the warning's true You leave a blaze of destruction behind you And after the ashes escape from my lungs I'll breathe in the wisdom from getting it wrong You tore me down You tore me down You tore me down One piece at a time, so I'd fall in line Guess the warning's true You leave a blaze of destruction behind you You tore me down One piece at a time, so I'd fall in line Guess the warning's true You leave a blaze of destruction behind you You leave a blaze of destruction behind you

Caught between deception and a smile You got your share of demons so do I But like you've done a thousand times You raise your mask to hide your crimes Picture perfect pretence in your eyes Couldn't make a mistake, wanna make a heart break It's written in your alibi and You sing it to me, line for line So soon, the strangers eating side by side the truth Only hurts once Guess you thought I couldn't see Your wheel of fortune's spinning less for me Slide a hand and I'll slide mine Misdirection, colour blind Count the coins and wager carefully Couldn't make a mistake, wanna make a heart break It's written in your alibi and You sing it to me, line for line So soon, the strangers eating side by side the truth Only hurts once You show your hand once I take a step once No second chance, you'll ever see my face again Ooh-ooh-ooh It's written in your alibi And you sing it to me, line for line So soon, the strangers eating side by side the truth Only hurts the truth Only hurts the truth Only hurts once (Ooh, written in your alibi) (Ooh, written in your alibi) (Ooh, written in your alibi)
