"heart in a rock place" lyrics
khristina
you passed me by for the last time
and i want to say what’s on my mind
as soon as i find the words
i want it to be something you’ve never heard
full of confidence, so self-assured
but i see you coming and i lose my nerve
khristina, oh khristina
it’s never as easy as it’s supposed to be
khristina, oh khristina
i think you could use someone like me
he left your heart in pieces on the ground
but after you’d been with all the handsome men
in town you found
it isn’t love that’s going around
chorus
you need to try a different kind of guy
someone funny, but kind of shy
someone who’ll never make you cry

hold on your heart
there’s a shadow behind this open door
a ghost in a haunted room from a love before
you’re here beside me but a million miles away
i’ve run out of the right things to say
because you run to him every time he calls
you’re there to catch him when he falls
is there a secret keeping us apart
has he got a hold on your heart
has he got a hold on your heart
you whisper his name at night
and then pretend everything’s alright
i know he hurt you when he said good-bye
he left you standing lonely with only tears to cry
but then he never left the picture
i still see him in your eyes
when did you go back to believing his lies
i can read the writing on the wall
because you run to him every time he calls
is there a secret keeping us apart

i heard a song playing on the radio tonight
it was saying everything
that was going through my mind
i was hoping that you heard it too
because now i know
there’s only one thing left to do
wherever you are
i’m going to find you
if you look over your shoulder
i’ll be behind you
wherever you are that’s where i want to be
are you thinking about me
we get caught up trying to find the right words
so simple things we want to say
never seem to get heard
if you look in my eyes
you’ll see all you need to know\
the way i feel inside
i should’ve never let you go
i’ve been chasing rainbows
running from shadows
what i was thinking
only heaven knows

i keep dreaming that i’m by your side
the pain i’m going through
i just can’t hide anymore
i don’t know what to live or die for
if it isn’t love then why
do i keep hoping an answer
will fall from the sky
i sat down to write this so many times before
i want to believe in love
and everything it stands for
you and all the things that we could do
but you ran away and i still don’t understand
all the reasons why
i tried to follow our footprints in the sand
but the water has washed them away
the time and tears
have slipped through my hands
but your love is hear in my heart to stay
there’s no one to tell me when to let go
my mind keeps saying it
but my heart won’t believe it
though i’ve tried
it only leaves me empty inside
because you ran away
and i still don’t understand
all the reasons why

i try to figure out why you do the things you do
then i begin to doubt that
the reasons are clear to you
the way i feel when we’re apart
will fade away in time
to love and leave with a stolen heart
has got to be the perfect crime
how can you walk away from love
how can you walk away from love
after everything we shared
you know how much i cared
i said i’d be there for you
but you had to have the final word
and that was all i heard
now i’m left with nothing left to do
i’ve been wrestling with some demons of my own
you take the fifth and i take to drinking alone
you’ll find other arms to hold you
but it will never be the same
how can you look inside your soul
and tell me i’m the one to blame
chorus
there must be something inside you
that makes you want to run
no matter who’s beside you
you tell him he’s the one
now that you’ve shed some tears
you want to leave it all behind
because all the words you need to hear
never sound the same as mine

don’t blame me for what i don’t understand
you show your love like it’s a sleight of hand
you’re twisting and turning
all the while i’m yearning for you
baby, why do you treat me this way
when i’ll give you my love until my dying day
in my mind this has all been wasted time
what am i going to do
the only thing to stop the falling is the floor
i’ve been down before
i just can’t take it anymore
i want to shine a light into this shadow of doubt
you know i can’t give in and i can’t get out
Around and round we go
where it stops i guess we already know
i want to break these chains i’m in
but i can’t leave a smile as sweet as sin
i don’t need a doctor
i know they haven’t got a cure
chorus
bill crosby: vocal, keys can i reach you with this message there’s something wrong here is it so strange to need someone to talk to It’s more than a time or place now a little alcohol is good fuel for confession look at us now hiding behind the mask sometimes i get so scared daydreaming and wishful thinking bill crosby: vocal, rhythm guitar

across the miles across the forgotten hours
i’ve lost the need for reasons
no shining knights, no ivory towers
the promise of love still remains
like the sun shining through the rain
once i hold you in my arms
nothing will ever be the same again
after a lifetime of searching
i’m going to find you at the rainbow’s end
how can i tell you what i’m feeling
the desolation of these lonely nights
I’ve lost the words for this desire
in the dark your eyes still shine their light
the promise of love remains
there’s a voice inside me
calling out your name

haven’t figured out just yet
we’re out here dancing
but we seem to be out of step
maybe it’s the music
maybe it’s where we are
maybe we’ve taken everything
a little bit too far
i try to catch your eye
maybe see the reason why
you’re lost in your own world
you haven’t heard a single word i’ve said
this is the wrong groove
this could be the wrong move
you’ve got a lot of new friends
they don’t even know my name
we’re always in and out of
all these rumor games
maybe we’ve been here too long
maybe it’s time to get away
i press for an opinion
but you’ve got nothing to say
well don’t look at me that way
like you don’t know what i’m trying to say
you’re lost in your own world
you haven’t heard a single word i’ve said

is it so strange to need someone to hold at night
i know things are different between us now
but i had to call you i was hoping somehow
you have an explanation
some words to say to make things right
but there’s just one thing i need to know
where do all the promises go
like together and forever and i love you so
where do all the promises go
do they burn in the heat of passion
only to end up as scattered ashes
it’s been so long since i’ve been close to you
it’s been so long since we’ve laughed together
i can’t see over the wall we’ve built between us
there’s only an echo of the things
we’ve said before
i don’t want to be alone in the room with you
i could use some sunshine
through this stormy weather
but there’s still one thing i need to know
chorus
what happened to our love is still a mystery
i remember everything you said to me
i know it’s over when they say it’s over
but i can’t get over you

the museum of my life somehow
the faces change but to me they’re still the same
in this ghost town.
has the promise of our youth faded so far
hopes and dreams like a falling star
was there something to say
or was it just taken away
in this ghost town.
it could be a haunted heart full of memories
or the way we said good-bye at the summers’ end
but i think it’s being in this town again
this ghost town.
everyone’s fighting to make ends meet
the aprons and the ties to the kids in the street
i thought the fire in their eyes would never die
in this ghost town
the house and the car and the family
maybe they’re the ones who are truly free
it didn’t happen that way for me
in this ghost town
chorus
what scares me the most
is i could be the ghost
in this ghost town

mike bouchard: keys
her eyes are pleading but i have to turn away
i don’t want her to see me in this condition
how could she know what i really need to say
i can’t forget you
everything reminds me of the love we shared
i can’t forget you
i want to run anywhere
but the feelings follow wherever i go
the last thing i want to do is hurt her because
you showed me how much damage love can do
while i was dreaming happily ever after
you had your bags packed
in the corner of the room
you left a dark cloud over what could be
and nothing is been the same for me
how much do i have to pay before i get free

dance with strangers
there’s fear and loneliness
imagine how two people in love
could let it come to this
telling lies about each other
pretending it’s all over
too close to part as friends
and then the music starts again
and then we dance with strangers
we used to cast a single shadow
now we dance with strangers
we do our time and then we go
there was a time you could
look me in the eye to read my mind
now the distance is too far to even try
in between the lines
perfect scenes to perfect crimes
in the swirling lights of sin
the music starts again

amy, joanna & jennifer brown: bkgd vocals
like there’ll be an end to this time we’ve shared
i’m hoping it’ll all work out
but i can’t deny these feelings of doubt
and then the phone rings
there’s your voice at the end of the line
and i’ll be alright until the next time
can you tell me why
i can never read the look in your eyes
we don’t laugh anymore
we just talk about how it was before
and then the phone rings
there’s a voice at the end of the line
no it’s not alright
can you call back another time
does love have to be this way
so many words but nothing to say
i turn to you and you look away
does love have to be this way
start all over again
it’d be easier if we parted friends
how can i go on
when it feels like you’re already gone
you just walk away
that’s your solution to everything
just walk away
but that’s no solution to anything

turn your eyes so sad like it’s wrong to want
for something you never had
the darkness that surrounds you
is choking me with fear
we go around in circles only to wind up here
waiting for the tears to start again
wondering if it’s ever going to end
i don’t know why we fade to blue
when i try to get through to you
but i’ve got to find a way
before this whole thing goes astray
fade to blue
the spark of love begins to dim
it’s either me about her or you about him
i can’t erase the faces from before
but i can tell you this they don’t matter anymore
mistakes i’ve made are better left behind
maybe we’re afraid of what we’ll find
