On a Day Like Today
Album - 20 ottobre 1998 - Debaser id 13938

drove all night from new york city
in your best friend's car
knocked on my door about five thirty
nursing a broken heart
still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your jacket on
back door's open baby - i don't lock it
we can leave anytime we want

i got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
i never planned to stay
getaway - ya know it's now or never
getaway - nobody lives forever
we're only waitin' just to make our getaway

hey baby we were good together
seemed like you'd always be my girl
but looking back now we were just too clever
thinking love could change the world
ya know there's no point in waitin' - hesitating
we gotta leave today...

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin' round your way
Ya ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The sun's gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - there's a place for you
I know that you believe it too
Sometimes if you wanna get away
All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
All the way

On a day like today - the whole world could change
The sun's gonna shine - shine through the rain
On a day like today - no one complains
Free to be pure - free to be sane
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
But ya never know what might be comin' for you and me
Ya it's gonna be

On a day like today

it's 3 am - and i'm lying here next to you
what cha gonna do?
will you tell a story - when he asks you where the hell
you've been
or will you tell the truth?

i ain't holdin' back - i know where i stand
i just want to be with you
ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
i've gotta get it through to you
i'm fearless

you don't have to hide - you don't have to share half your
life
with some other guy
baby we're so strong - and it's been goin on so long
it's time to make it right - want you to spend the night

i ain't holdin back - i know where i stand
i just want to be with you
ya gotta face the fact - baby i'm your man
i've gotta get it through to you
i'm fearless

Maybe I told you right from the start,
You can have me, but you can't have my heart,
It's easy enough to say but I couldn't care less,
Yeah I might've told you you were on my mind,
But, guess I talk a pretty good line,
Hey I could talk all day,
But I just can't confess,

Chorus:

That I'm a liar,
I'm a victim of desire,
I'm moth into the fire,
Yeah I'm over my head - forget what I said,
Tell ya I'm a liar,
I'm just walking on the wire,
That I couldn't get much higher,
Yeah I'm over my head - forget what I said,
Baby I'm a liar.

Yeah when I told you I was hard to pin down,
Ya know I was just messin' around,
Guess you know by now that that's just my way,
And if you want stories - well I got a few,
But hey, this is the truth I swear to you,
Yeah how many more times do you want me to say,

Chorus.

Yeah - if I told you to go away,
Baby you can't believe a thing I say,
Listen...

I'm a liar,
I'm a victim of desire,
I'm moth into the fire,
Yeah I'm over my head - forget what I said,
Baby I'm a liar,
I'm just walking on the wire,
No I couldn't get much higher,
Well I'm over my head - forget what I said,
Baby I'm a liar,
I'm a liar,
Well I'm over my head, forget what I said,
I'm a liar - liar,
I can't help myself,
I'm a liar,
(Well I'm over my head - forget what I said)
No you can't believe a single thing I say,
Oh yeah - I'm a liar.

Clue number one was when you knocked on my door.
Clue number two was the look that you wore.
And that's when i knew, it was a pretty good sign,
That something was wrong up on cloud number nine

Well it's along way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

Chrous

And the moon is out and the stars are bright
And whatever comes s'gonna be alright
'Cause tonight you will be mine - up on cloud number nine
And there ain't no place that I'd rather be
And we can't go back but you're here with me
Yeah, the weather is really fine - up on cloud number nine

Now he hurt you, and you hurt me
And that wasn't the way it was supposed to be
So, baby tonight let's leave the world behind
And spend some time up on cloud number nine

Well it's along way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

Well we won't come down tonight
Ya we won't come down tonight
No we won't come down tonight

Chrous

and the moon is out and the stars are bright
and what ever comes gona be alright
coz tonight you will be mine on cloud -number nine
and there int no place i rather be
and we can go back but you here with me
yeh the weather is really fine- up on cloud number nine.

We can watch the world go by - up on cloud number nine...

I've been wandering around the house all night
Wondering what the hell to do
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing
Songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Baby when you're gone

I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Yeah, I'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know
Oh, this is torture, this is pain
It feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon
'Cause I don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone
Baby when you're gone

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear 'bout growin' old
The longest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The boy you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight

Chorus
I wanna know you, like I know myself
I'm waitin' for you, there ain't no one else
Talk to me baby, scream and shout
I want to know you, inside out
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mind
Ya know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you ever prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
These are the things I wanna know

Chorus:
I wanna know you like I know myself
I waiting for you there ain't no one else
Talk to me baby, scream and shout
I wanna know you inside out
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know your mind
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna know your soul, I wanna lose control
C'mon n' let it out
I wanna know you inside out
ya gotta dig down deep, lose some sleep
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
ya know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

Well I'm wrapped around your finger
And I'm never letting go
You know I'm happy just to linger
And let the feeling flow

This must be an illusion
I know this can't be real
I'm ready and right now
This is paradise I feel

Never thought I'd find someone to move me
Someone who could see right through me
You've found your way into my head
Where even angels fear to tread

Don't wanna go out walkin'
Don't wanna take a drive
Don't wanna move from this sweet spot, baby
While this feeling's still alive

The way we fit together
Its like we're meant to be
I'm ready and right now
This is paradise to me

Never thought I'd find someone to move me
Someone who could see right through me
You've found your way into my head
Where even angels fear to tread

You've found your way into my head
where even angels fear to tread
