There was no one else who ever could excite me
Been hiding in a place where only you can find me
This night is glowing and we’re in good form
So c’mon baby start up and electric storm

Cause you’re the only one I want, I’m counting down to midnight
About you I'm as sure as the coming of the daylight
So take up all my time, I'll only sit and wait for you
You’re the promise of tomorrow and a simpler time
You’re the windows rolled down on a Saturday night
All I ever wanna be and all I wanna do
Is counting down to midnight with you

The city streets are bustling, it is New Years Eve tonight
It’s like we’re right on time, baby for the first time
Finally just the right kind of love
I’ll be in your arms baby when tomorrow comes

Cause you’re the only one I want, I’m counting down to midnight
About you I'm as sure as the coming of the daylight
So take up all my time, I'll only sit and wait for you
You’re the day the war was over, the day I had to wait for
The time of my life that I’ve been running late for
All I ever wanna be and all I wanna do
Is counting down to midnight with you

I was dyin’ when you found me
You got here just in time
Underneath the glow
Of the right moon light
And I’ve told every single star
I only wanna be where you are

I know you're gonna have to go and I hold on to every long goodbye
You know how much I love you so, you say you'll be there when I close my eyes

You say your love is holy
It's yours and mine
But you always keep me waiting
Half the time

You say your love is holy
It's yours and mine
But you always keep me waiting
Half the time

I feel your arms in the kitchen, in the push and pull
Between where we are and where we wanna go
On every shore
Through every door
I kept every secret that was yours

You say your love is holy
It's yours and mine
But you always keep me waiting
Half the time

When I am drowning
Can't find my way home
When they say I am dreaming
And that's how it goes
When they say they're believing
But it's all for show
I'll always know that you know what you know

When I need a vacation from all of my ghosts
When I'm in need of salvation, but it doesn't show
When it finally feels like I am my own
When my spirit was under attack
You put the rock n roll back

You and I we can be
The talk of the town
We can run in the night
When my father finds out
If you're a thousand miles away
I know I will hear you still saying my name

When I feel you breathing new breath in my soul
When I feel like I have a place to come home
To love you only you, you alone
When my spirit was under attack
You put the rock n roll back

Say that you'll miss these nights
Don't want them to end
My lover, my other, my best friend

Here in the stillness
I finally see
The bridges I had to burn
Were for you and me
I wanna hold on for as long as I can
You ungrateful, unfaithful, unshakable man

When my spirit was under attack
You put the rock n roll back

I am not afraid of a place with no time
I know I've seen forever looking in your eyes
Maybe there's no telling where that river runs to
But I know there's a place where it's just me and you

When a train goes by in the dead of night
Will you know where you're running to
Will I come home to see you standing in my room
Like you always knew
That if our time went slipping fast
It could have never held you back
I will be alive
In your steel blue eyes

If better days are gone and all we'll ever be
Is whatever I can hold inside my memory
Oh, but I'm convinced if we could only see
Part of heaven lives right here, between you and me

When you close your eyes in the morning light
I hope you feel me move
I will see you standing in my room
Like you always knew
That if our time went slipping fast
It could have never held you back
I will be alive
In your steel blue eyes

So as I trace the moment steal a last long look
I will remember every word and every breath I took
This lightning and this thunder roaring in our hearts
Will always stop me where I am and find you where you are

Far across the seas and borders
Like trying to stop the wind
I always was so stubborn when it came to loving him
In past lives and old poems, in my solitary hymns
He's been wherever I've been

In a secret place, in a quiet way
I loved him everyday
So when I'm feeling like I'm free
Tell them not to look for me

In anxiety, in piety
I was reckless for his love
Yeah I knew that I could die and burn up in his touch
If they stone me to the grave, I have told my god above
I will gladly wear it all and take it as it comes

In a secret place, in a quiet way
I loved him everyday
So when I'm feeling like I'm free
Tell them not to look for me

When I'm old and grey
Through body aches
I loved him everyday
So when they lay me down to sleep
Tell them not to look for me

Lookin' in your eyes and I can tell that you wanna be free
Am I where you wanna be?
Are you chasing after me?
I will go with you cause baby I know this for certain

We can drive and throw our worries out the window
You can teach me everything you think you don't know
It ain't a diamond on my hand
It's how you make me understand
Everything you're feeling yeah
I know that I don't wanna miss the man

I know you're wondering what it'd take
For you and I to plan our escape
Tell me everything it took
Feeling like a lone wolf
I will stand with you in every place that you've been hurting

We can drive and throw our worries out the window
You can teach me everything you think you don't know
It ain't a diamond on my hand
It's how you make me understand
Everything you're feeling yeah
I know that I don't wanna miss the man

We can drive and throw our worries out the window
You can teach me everything you think you don't know
It ain't a diamond on my hand
It's how you make me understand
Everything you're feeling yeah
I know that I don't wanna miss the man

Something's gonna go our way
Yeah I can feel it
Step into some better days
Yeah I can hear it
I know you say you'll always be tryin'
And I know, yeah I know
I know you can't be lyin'

I see you there where I'm standing in my white dress
I know who you are, who you're always gonna be
I see you there where I'm standing in my white dress
I know it hasn't happened, but I see it in my memory

Together we can make the rain
Yeah I can feel it
Together we can calm the waves
Yeah I can hear it
I'd run through every open door
Just to know, yeah to know
That you're writing down my name with yours

I see you there where I'm standing in my white dress
I know who you are, who you're always gonna be
I see you there where I'm standing in my white dress
I know it hasn't happened, but I see it in my memory

You can sit at the head of the table
You can make your home in my mind
And if our dreams never come to be
I still count the anniversaries

I see you there, standing in my white dress
Always gonna be
I see you there, standing in my white dress
I know it hasn't happened, but I see it in my memory

From the earth side
Do you hear me?
Are you still alive?
Tuning into me
Like a satellite
I know you can't lie
Whatever made us doesn't die

Said if you fall I will catch you
I'll come to your rescue
Don't you worry for me
If you call I'll be waiting
Never does the day end
Someday you will see

It don't matter
I'm right there where you are
It don't matter
Nothing is ever too far
It don't matter
I'm right there where you are

If I'm losing, well then
I can always telephone
Dialed into
What I'm always gonna know
This love it don't go
Even if you think it so

Said if you fall I will catch you
I'll come to your rescue
Don't you worry for me
If you call I'll be waiting
Never does the day end
Someday you will see

It don't matter
I'm right there where you are
It don't matter
Nothing is ever too far
It don't matter
I'm right there where you are

I'll be waiting when they play the last song
In case he remembers I'm the one
I could spare no expense and I could never save face
Because I know what I have

My soul lives in the room where we met
In all it took to find him to begin with
And they say that's what you get for living on his borrowed time
But I still say hallelujah every time

I'll be waiting when the band is packing up
And I won't miss what I'm giving up
Cause I've lived too long to go without him now
So let me be stupid and happy

My soul lives in the room where we met
In all it took to find him to begin with
And they say that's what you get for living on his borrowed time
But I still say hallelujah every time

I won't be beaten to death
By my own regret
I will spend those days and nights in worship
Even if he don't deserve it

My soul lives in the room where we met
In all it took to find him to begin with
And they say that's what you get for living on his borrowed time
But I still say hallelujah every time

I still say hallelujah every time

No matter if I came from beggars or from kings
You can take all of their crowns
Switch them out for ordinary things
And write it down to remember when
I made my own kinda diamonds out of them

Make me a list of everything you thought was true
I'll shock you and surprise you
You will laugh and you will cry
You may not see the northern lights
But you will have a real good time
As long as I leave some signs of life
It doesn’t matter where I die

You may not believe when I step into the quantum world
How I've been a conqueror and an anxious little girl
When this bag of bones returns to ash
You'll see I made a temple from the trash

Make me a list of everything you thought was true
I'll shock you and surprise you
You will laugh and you will cry
You may not see the northern lights
But you will have a real good time
As long as I leave some signs of life
It doesn’t matter where I die

So let my favorite dress get torn
I'm gonna love it even more
Call me a loser or a queen
I'll be the biggest one you've ever seen

I’ll live as though this could be over any time
In a flash at 23 or in my bed at 89
I got away with what was mine
I had the greatest love of all of time
