Maybe in the start we would laugh
Maybe in the end we would cry
But I believe in every book I’ve ever read
And what you said
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they’ll always last
And in the end before I could be
I’d shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
Will I ever see your face again
Will I ever touch your skin
I’ll never stop loving everything you do
But not me and you
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they’ll always last
And in the end before I could be
I’d shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
And in the end, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say
Come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired, man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Messages keep getting clearer, radio’s on and I’m moving round the place
Check my look in the mirror, wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere, but I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere hey I just know where it is
You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby the laugh’s on me
Stay on the streets of this town when they’ll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action I’m sick of sitting round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction hey baby give me just one look
You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
