Rise to the top of the world, America America, don't you cry Give me strength to press on Feel you close like you wanted me to Believe in you Is this just an illusion That I made inside my head to get me by? Twenty years in debt

We've had our problems but I'm on your side And I want you back You know, you can run, and you can hide We had a life, we had a love But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it Well that was then and this is now How many times do I have to say

If I wanted, I could take you from your man (please believe it) With my eyes closed, I could have you eating out the palm of my hand And all your little girlfriends, too (No you can't, you're a playa, I don't want you) Yes I can, and I will if I, if I

And I don't want to miss a thing Don't want to close my eyes I don't want to fall asleep 'Cause I'd miss you baby 'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream will never do I'd still miss you baby I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch

I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you) Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah) Ooh, so I'm gon' give you respect and I want to protect Oh, ooh, ooh I don't wanna hear no trouble talk People telling me what they

What will it take for you to notice? I am a heart on fire, the dawn walls diffuse So don’t get close Trouble and the worth Love like a needle full of methadone Prudent but not real, left you wanting more Lipstick track marks bleeding red Like Montagues

Baby, write this down, take a little note to remind you in case you didn't know, Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go, write this down. Take my words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away, So you'll remember

Never gonna fall in love again No use pretendin things can still be right There's really nothin more to say I'll get along without your kiss goodnight Just close the door and walk away I don't want to start with someone new Cause I couldn't bear to see

I wish I was, I wish I was beside you She sleeps alone My heart wants to come home She lies awake I'm trying to find the words to say I wish I was, I wish I was I don't wanna go So close but so far away Within a minute I was all packed up

Don't let the tide come and take me Don't let the tide come and wash us away So don't let the tide come and take me Oh no, get ready I just want a safe place to hide us away Far from with you, where I wanna stay Stay close, hold steady I feel it coming,
