Couldn't Have Said It Better
Album - 31 marzo 2003 - Debaser id 61875

BOY:
And you said nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else

Little lady
I think there's something on your mind
I've known you long enough to know
The words are not that hard to find

And the harder you try
And the longer you go
Well there's nothing but love
In those eyes anymore
You know what to say
But you never know how
You can keep your mouth shut
Because it doesn't really
Matter right now

I will guide you all the way
Because i know exactly
What you're trying to say

You have the right
To remain silent
I'll get the lights
You get that smile

And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else

I see the angels
They're standing right outside your door

GIRL:
They're watching over me
They're watching over us all

BOY
You can send them home tonight
Because you won't need them anymore

GIRL:
In your arms
I think i've found
The safest place to fall

BOTH:
When i step in the door and i stare at your face
there are so many things that i wish i could say
well i struggle with words but they put up a fight
you can keep your mouth shut
because it doesn't really matter tonight

I will guide you
All the way (tonight)
Because I know exactly
What you're trying to say

GIRL:
You have the right
To remain silent
I'll get the lights
You get that smile

BOTH:
And you say nothing at all
Well I couldn't have said it better myself
Tonight the conversation takes the fall
Just love me like you love nobody else

BOY:
And I know you feel the same

BOTH:
You've been searching for the words
Now you know what to say

BOY:
Just say nothing
Don't say a word
Silence is gold

GIRL:
Don't say a word

BOY:
Shhh

[instrumental bridge]

BOTH:
This is the moment we've been waiting for (ohh yeah!)

GIRL:
If I exercise my right

BOY:
I will take your body language

BOTH:
And hold it against you tonight

BOY:
And I know you feel the same

BOTH:
I've wondered all my life
If this moment comes
Would I know what to say

BOY & GIRL (GIRL IN "()"):
Then you say nothing at all
(So many times I stumbled on the words that I wanted to say)
You said nothing at all
(So many thoughts that I should have just let my heart explain)
You said nothing at all
(So many ways we could turn the words around)
You said nothing at all
(So many nights our hearts came crashing to the ground)
You said nothing at all
(So many dreams that are finally coming true)
Well I could'nt have said it better myself
(Now you finish me off when
you finish my thoughts the way you do)

CHORUS OUT

So this is what it feels like
To be the one left behind
To give it all you've got then find
You've already changed you mind

And this is what it sounds like
Crying on the bed that we both made
Waiting for a sign that you just can't give me
Any kind of sign

I don't want to be here wide awake
Clinging to a love that can't be saved
Hanging off the edge of every word
that you say

So I asked myself,

I don't know I can do this
What am I supposed to say?
You have been my dream for so long
Now that dream is slipping away
I don't want to let you go
It's only that I know I must

I can't hardly get the words out
Baby is this the end of us?

You know that I want You
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn't that enough?

I'v been sleeping in the daytime
I've been weeping at the scene
Wishing you would haunt me
And you would tell me this was all a dream

Wishing you were here beside me
What I would give to hold you tight
But nothing I can do or say
Will change the truth tonight

You know that I want You
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn't that enough?

If I want you
and I need you
and I love you
And I want that to be enough

Because I want you
and I need you
and I love you
And I want that to be enough

Yes I want you
and I need you
and I love you
And I want that to be enough

Yes I want you
and I need you
and I love you
And I want that to be enough

I don't want to let you go
it's only that I know I must
I can hardly get the words out
Baby is this the end of us

You know that I want You
You know that I need you baby
You know that I love you
So why isn't that enough?
Why isn't that enough?
I wish it was enough

Come a little closer it's a feeling that I can't deny
I was weak, but I never thought I'd speak about the darker side
Is that a tent? I could repent upon the side of the road
But, I kept on going yeah I headed for another load
I get up from the ground in the middle of the evening
Up from the ground in the middle of the night
Oh, I testify

I was laid upon the grave by a preacher's hand I cannot lie
And, I forsake the many vows I made to be with you tonight
Could you be the salvation cause I never felt like this before
And, could you lend me your hand because I'm falling back on the floor

up from the ground in the middle of the morning
Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
Up from the ground in the middle of the night
Oh, I testify

On a road outside of nowhere, in the middle of the night
Well I guess I hit rock bottom and the dawn was not in sight
And a Tempest made of fire, onset the sky aglow
And a sweet young thing called out my name
And this is how it goes, she says ....
'Go boy, can you hear them? Are you falling through the cracks in your eyes?'
And I got down on my knees

I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
Up from the ground and I'm falling back down
Up from the ground and I testify

Every cut that heals reveals a scar that you can never hope to hide
All the pain that you restrain keeps buildings up deep inside
If you think you're above it then it's you my friend that I implore
You've got to walk before you run
See the night before dawn
Before you pull yourself off the floor

I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
Up from the ground in the middle of the night
Oh, I testify

Listen
I was born on the other side
Just always looking to you
I made it over the great divide
Now I'm coming for you

Your forces lined up in battle
Your soldiers and your machines
The sun been blacked out by shadows
The darkest hour now you've ever seen

And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down

I rose up on the doctor's slab
Like Lazarus from the pit
And everyone wants to take a stab
Decorate me with blood, graffiti and spit

I've been held up on money
I've been beaten out of spite
You want a piece of me honey?
Lose or win
You know you've been in a fight

And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you
Try and tear me down

''Girl:'' On March 6th, 1836 the walls of the Alamo fell to the Mexican army. After a 12-day siege, the troops of Santa Ana were victorious but too exhausted to hold on and the Texans won the war. It's further from El Paso to Texarkana, then from New York to Chicago. And when it joined the Union, Texas was the biggest state. Yeah, everything from Texas is big, larger than life and none bigger than little Marvin Aday. So big his daddy called him Meat Loaf. He grew into a big man, with a big voice. And he sings big songs and has big hits. You can try and tear him down.

Now there ain't much difference
Between a bridge and a wall
Without me right in the middle baby
You'll be nothing at all

And I'm easy and I'm serious
They try and tear me down
You want me baby I dare you

Try and tear me down

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you

May you build a ladder in the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see light that's surrounding you

May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hand always be busy
And your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful
And your song may it be sung
And may you stay forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young
