Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy From now on That's the way it's got to be It's you for you, and me for me Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to

Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today There's no time for us There's no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams Yet slips away from us? There's no chance for us It's all decided for us This world has only one

I ride east every other Friday but if I had it my way Days would not be wasted on this drive And I want so bad to hold you Some of the things I haven't told you Your mom and me just couldn't get along And I'll think about my life And wonder why, I'll

I took a heavenly ride through our silence Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless 'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me

Before they take it all away Trying to see if the world is still alive What are you waiting for, I'm here Let the day go by Let's consume it all I hear them from the other side As I sit and let the day go by I hear them from the other side (other side)

You try to live your life from day to day But seeing you across the room tonight Just gives me away The heart won't lie Looking back over the years Of All the things I've always meant to say But words didn't come easily So many times through empty fears

And now destined to be The last one standing here The past alive to me And mocking hope is all I had In weakness it hides from me And then it infiltrates my heart So wrong to think I had found It was so long since I felt that at all I had dreamed long in

In the city I know there must be somethin' better In the city, oh, oh. Somewhere out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights But there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much

A Loner longing for The cadence of her last breath Running for her life The dark rain from her eyes still falls Breathtaking butterfly Chose a dark day to live Save one breath for me Why do I miss someone I never met, with bated breath I lay

Guess I'll always have to be Living in a fantasy From now on That's the way it's got to be It's you for you, and me for me Monday has come around again I'm in the same old place With the same old faces always watching me Who knows how long I'll have to
