     Paint your picture on my wall
     I'll see you when you come to call and
     I am not a stranger to myself.
     There's no need to terrify
     Your love for me will never die
     And I am not a stranger to myself.
     
     I've seen you in your silver room
     In your paper house with your golden rules
     
     But when the songbird sings into your ear just let go
     And if the love burns deep inside your fear let it show
     We'll let the road run on forever never give it away
     We'll let the flames burn out tonight
     
     Send me a postcard from your mind
     I'll see you on the other side and
     Make it out to whom it may concern
     Images of broken dreams and
     Tales of woe and pastoral scenes and
     Poetry of meaningless design
     
     I've seen you in your silver room
     In your paper house with your golden rules
     
     But when the songbird sings into your ear just let go
     And if the love burns deep inside your fear let it show
     We'll let the road run on forever never give it away
     We'll let the flames burn out tonight
     We'll let the flames burn out tonight

     When I was young I thought that I could find a better way
     I dreamed a dream for all my life and now it's gone away
     And now I don't believe a word they say
     And everywhere I look I see your face
     I'd like to take you with me but I
     Haven't got a ticket anymore
     
     And now the dream has been and gone to find a better day
     It turned my life right upside down and left me on my face
     And now it's up to me to make a change
     This fairy tale is more than I can take
     I'd like to take you with me but I
     Haven't got a ticket anymore
     
     And all I ever wanted was a chance to say that I am not afraid
     Now I see a new beginning
     Now there's something to believe in
     Now the time has come for me to
     Tell the world that I am not afraid
     
     So in the end the story goes that I will have to wait
     And now I look into my eyes to see what I create
     And I believe that time will overcome
     And I believe that love will seal my fate
     I'd like to take you with me but I
     Haven't got a ticket anymore
     I'd like to take you with me but I
     Haven't got a ticket anymore
     No I haven't got a ticket anymore
     No I haven't got a ticket anymore

     When I was young I thought I had my own way
     I knew exactly where I wanted to belong
     Now I look into my own reflection
     I know I'm looking in a new direction now
     
     But time when I was with you and it's slipping away every day
     And the teacher never listens to the boy with a dream anyway
     
     All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
     All we ever needed was a chance
     All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
     Is that too much for anyone to ask?
     
     Now forever isn't such a long time
     Cos I've been talking to the people that I know
     Now I'm looking in a new direction
     I'll never look into my own reflection now
     
     But time when I was with you and it's slipping away every day
     And the teacher never listens but there's something that I wanna say
     
     All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
     All we ever needed was a chance
     All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
     Is that too much for anyone to ask?
     
     Now you've gone and thrown it all away
     The time has gone there's nothing you can say
     But it's never gonna change
     It'll always be this way
     And it's never gonna change
     Anymore
     
     All we ever wanted was somebody to believe in
     All we ever needed was a chance
     All we ever needed was someone to share the dream with
     Is that too much for anyone to ask?

     Well good morning it's a new day in your elementary ground
     It's the time to be the captain or the loser of the crown
     But you know it's true, you've seen it in their eyes
     And you know it's true, there's nothing to disguise
     
     But if somebody looks into your heart,
     They'll find no room to spare
     And if somebody tears your world apart
     That's fine, keep your head up high
     
     Cos I've seen your face in a thousand different ways
     And I've seen you smile
     And I know that love is somewhere on the way
     
     Well you know that he's the kind of boy who's physically sound
     And you know that if you took your chance he'd punch you to the ground
     But you know it's true, you've seen it in his eyes
     And you know it's true, there's nothing to disguise
     
     But if somebody looks into your heart,
     They'll find no room to spare
     And if somebody tears your world apart
     That's fine, keep your head up high
     
     Cos I've seen your face in a thousand different ways
     And I've seen you smile
     And I know that love is somewhere on the way
     Yeah, I know that love is somewhere on the way

     There she comes all dressed in black
     She's a sheer queen of heart attack
     She's a mean machine in a life of love
     But I know you'll be on my side
     
     No more misery, just a song that we sing
     No more misery for me
     No more misery, just a life without greed
     No more misery for me
     
     There is nothing more to prove
     She's out to get you win or lose
     Can you hear the screams of your lonely life
     But I know you'll be on my side
     
     No more misery, just a song that we sing
     No more misery for me
     No more misery, just a life without greed
     No more misery for me
     
     She's only waiting for the chance to shine
     She's never waiting for you
     Nobody's waiting
     Nobody's waiting for you
     
     No more misery, just a song that we sing
     No more misery for me
     No more misery, just a life without greed
     No more misery for me
     
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more
     I said no more, I said no more misery

     Coming out of nowhere you're dreaming all your life
     Living in this white world watching it all go by
     Living through your nightmares to floating in the sea
     Watching all this white world fall inside of me
     
     'Cos I know the stars don't see me and
     I know that you don't need me
     I know that you don't feel my pain
     I know the stars don't see me and
     I know that you don't need me
     Cos I want the world to know my name
     And I think that's why I'm here
     
     I've never had this feeling at any place or time
     I'm falling through this white world with everything I find
     
     'Cos I know the stars don't see me and
     I know that you don't need me
     I know that you don't feel my pain
     I know the stars don't see me and
     I know that you don't need me
     'Cos I want the world to know my name
     And I think that's why I'm here
     
     You know what's in my head
     You know what's in my head
     And I think that's why I'm here
     Just to live inside your fear
     And I think that's why I came
     So the world can know my name
     So the world can know my name
     So the world can know my name

     I came looking for something new
     Looking for something that was true
     But the whole world is so against me
     
     She came into and out of the blue
     Looking for me, never looking for you
     But the whole world is so against me
     
     Cos everyone is waiting for some kind of changing
     And nothing's gonna stop me from the ending
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make, we'll never break
     We'll never make it alone
     
     So then I look around for the day
     Looking to me to believe in a way
     That the whole world is so against me
     
     She came into and out of the blue
     Looking for me, never looking for you
     Will she ever see the ending?
     
     Cos I'm still waiting for some kind of changing
     And nothing's gonna stop me from the ending
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make, we'll never break
     We'll never make it alone
     
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make it alone
     We'll never make, we'll never break
     We'll never make it alone
     
     We will never make this life alone

     I was talking to the one they know
     Telling me to go
     Not on my life
     Wandering 'round with everyone they see
     Telling me to be
     Not on my life
     All those stupid things I've said
     They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
     Making me feel like there's something instead
     Telling me everything will be alright
     Tell it to me again
     
     I was falling from the sky above
     From never ending love
     Not on my life
     But everything is never as it seems
     Forever in my dreams
     Not on my life
     All those stupid things you've said
     They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
     Making me feel like I'm already there
     Telling me everything will be alright
     Tell it to me again
     
     But there ain't no use in telling me stories
     Cos I know everything will turn out fine
     When I was young they told me there's no other way
     To reach the other side
     
     But do they know?
     And do they see?
     Do they know?
     
     I was talking to the one they know
     Telling me to go
     Not on my life
     Wandering 'round with everyone they see
     Telling me to be
     Not on my life
     All those stupid things I've said
     They were bringing me down like I'll never forget
     Making me feel like there's something instead
     Telling me everything will be alright
     Telling me everything will be alright
     Telling me everything will be alright
     Tell it to me again
