Calm down, calm down You-know-who might be listenin' in Don't cry, my dear That's just how grown-ups talk sometimes Let's call a truce It's not about you and me no more Let's do this right Let's agree that Somehow, somehow She got the best of both of us Somehow, somehow We made a life when we made love Somehow, somehow In utter despite of both of us Somehow she's perfect You've got to give it to the girl One night, that's all All that connected me to you And anger was how, How we'd communicate, but Out of this mess Out of the dirt that's me and you Flowers can bloom And they are beautiful and Somehow, somehow She got the best of both of us Somehow, somehow We made a life when we made love Somehow, somehow In utter despite of both of us Somehow she's perfect You've got to give it to the girl "And where do we go now?" you say You say nothing at all Somehow, somehow She got the best of both of us Somehow, somehow We made a life when we made love Somehow, somehow In utter despite of both of us Somehow she's perfect You've got to give it to her

Falling Down 05:24
"Give up your pain and come to me" You said to me, but Try as I may it's so damn hard to trust someone 'cuz I've been hurt by her So many, so many times, but You'll see for me So I can close my eyes You caught me falling down You found me with my eyes wide open You caught me falling down So lift me up Do what I like There's no one here expecting something But try as I might It's so damn hard to see that now 'cuz I've been hurt by her So many, so many times, but You'll see for me So I can close my eyes You caught me falling down You found me with my eyes wide open You caught me falling down So lift me up And all of the words, They're sharpened to hurt the best they can, Have kept awake and looking out For my heart You caught me falling down You found me with my eyes wide open You caught me falling down So lift me up You caught me falling down You found me with my eyes wide open You caught me falling down So lift me up

Time after time you were saying goodbye, weren't you? Every night spent in somebody's bed, not mine So I have to stay in this place behind my eyes Where you love me Flowers on your stairs And kind words for your pain The sweat on my palms makes it painfully obvious But breaking my heart, you stay cordial and kind The hints were as subtle as cries from a loudspeaker You don't call, you don't write Flowers on your stairs And kind words for your pain And curtains open wide On mornings in my head And I'm seventeen again In a broken car again With a broken heart In a different city now In a different time But it's all the same Just another song Flowers on your stairs And kind words for your pain And curtains open wide On mornings in my head Flowers on your stairs

And if we knew that tomorrow was our last Would you come running To spend your final night with me And watch it all go down like a ship that's sinking? And if it all goes up in flames And they need someone to blame, well we'll be grinning 'Cuz when it all goes away If you and I are here to stay then we'll stay living And even if the stars start falling Down out of the dark blue sky You know I know that everything's alright And even if the moon should tumble Down beside us, I don't mind You know I have my best thing by my side And in twenty million years When our fossils start to show On some prehistoric shore They'll see that you and I have turned Into piles full of bones And that mine love yours And even if the stars start falling Down out of the dark blue sky You know I know that everything's alright And even if the moon should tumble Down beside us, I don't mind You know I have my best thing by my side Believe me, it's the best thing you could see As we go out of this world together Oh, my God And even if the stars start falling Down out of the dark blue sky You know I know that everything's alright And even if the moon should tumble Down beside us, I don't mind You know I have my best thing by my side And even if the rains should fall Upon the sands of Mexico And wash away the desert with the tide And even if the walls should crumble Down in Paris and in Rome You know I have my best thing by my side My side

Patience 03:00
Now I've heard that patience is virtuous But I have been waiting a while since You up and gone and left me alone So I'm giving up on us Now I'm not the smartest of men, dear But I see a pattern emerging here Where you break my heart with cold disregard And expect me to stay near And if timing is everything Then now's the time to say goodbye, dear So give me the years of my life back When I had my heart on the railroad track A man can endure just so much hurt So I take I love you back So I take I love you back So I take I love you back
