Heaven Only Knows Lyrics
[Intro]
(Heaven only knows)
[Verse 1]
Oh, I know it's strange
But I think that it's about to change
So I'll take the chance
To get back into the straight again
[Chorus]
(Heaven only knows) I'm really on the level
(Heaven only knows) I'm trying to find a way
(Heaven only knows) I'm walking down
A straight and lonely road today
[Interlude]
Oh, yeah
(Heaven only knows)
[Verse 2]
Now the sun will shine
And I'm gonna work it out this time
And before the light
All I gotta take is one more night
[Chorus]
(Heaven only knows) I'm really on the level
(Heaven only knows) I'm trying to find a way
(Heaven only knows) I'm walking down
A straight and lonely road today
[Bridge]
Heaven only knows, heaven only
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows, heaven only
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows, heaven only
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows, heaven only
[Chorus]
(Heaven only knows)
(Heaven only knows)
[Verse 3]
As the hours go by
I can only wonder why
You can change your mind
But you'll never change the price
[Chorus]
(Heaven only knows) I'm really on the level
(Heaven only knows) I'm trying to find a way
(Heaven only knows) I'm walking down
A straight and lonely road today
[Interlude]
Heaven only knows, heaven only
(Heaven only knows)
Heaven only knows, heaven only
[Chorus]
(Heaven only knows) I'm really on the level
(Heaven only knows) I'm trying to find a way
(Heaven only knows) I'm walking down
A straight and lonely road
[Outro]
(Heaven only knows) I'm really on the level
(Heaven only knows) I'm trying to find a way
(Heaven only knows)
So Serious Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember
[Pre-Chorus]
You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over
[Chorus]
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
[Verse 2]
Day after day
I know it's not the way that you want it
Day after day
I try to find the key, but it don't fit
[Pre-Chorus]
(Day after day)
But you know how it is
(Night after night)
No matter what I did
(Day after day)
We gotta talk it over
[Chorus]
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
[Verse 3]
Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see
[Pre-Chorus]
(Day after day)
And now it's up to you
(Night after night)
There's nothing else to do
(Day after day)
We've gotta talk it over
[Chorus]
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
[Outro]
(Serious, so serious)
Is it so serious?
(Serious, so serious)
Serious
(Serious, so serious)
Is It Alright Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dear Jo, don't know where to begin
So I'll just say hello
Dear Jo, is it so much better
Now you're on your own?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Is it alright?) You never believed in yourself
(Is it alright?) But now that you're free, does it help?
[Chorus]
Is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you got what you want?
And is it alright
Now that you're back where you belong?
[Verse 2]
Dear Jo, are you living it up
Every place you go?
Dear Jo, if you're having a hard time
It sure don't show, oh no
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Is it alright?) You couldn't hold on in your mind
(Is it alright?) Now is it okay? Is it fine?
[Chorus]
Is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you got what you want?
And is it alright
Now that you're back where you belong?
[Verse 3]
Dear Jo, can you believe
That it's been so long?
Dear Jo, just thought I'd write
And let you know
[Pre-Chorus 3]
(Is it alright?) You never believed in yourself
(Is it alright?) But now that you're free, does it help?
[Chorus]
Is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you got what you want?
And is it alright
Now that you're back where you belong?
[Bridge]
(Is it alright?)
(Is it alright with you?)
(Is it alright?)
(Is it alright with you?)
[Chorus/Outro]
Is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you got what you want?
And is it alright
Now that you're back where you belong?
Is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you got what you want?
And is it alright (Is it alright?)
Now that you're back where you belong...
Sorrow About to Fall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a silence in the city
There's nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground
[Verse 2]
There's a shadow hanging overhead
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew
The changes start to show
[Chorus]
There's a sorrow about to fall
Now there's a sorrow about to fall
[Verse 3]
There's a new sound in the wires
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around
[Verse 4]
Something happened to the seasons
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever
We gotta find a way
[Chorus]
There's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
[Verse 5]
There's people in the photographs
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere
Beyond the setting sun
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a sorrow about to fall
There's a sorrow about to fall
[Chorus]
Yeah, there's a sorrow about to fall
Now there's a sorrow about to fall
[Outro]
Sorrow about to fall, fall, fall, fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall
Sorrow about to fall
Without Someone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I watch the cars move
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street
I'm only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall
It hardly moves at all
It's you I'm waiting for
[Chorus]
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
I'm lost without someone
[Verse 2]
All alone, no one around
I watch the shadows falling faster
The city lights begin to glow
And then I start to realise
I count the hours
As they slip away into another day
Wondering where you'll stay
[Chorus]
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
I'm lost without someone
[Verse 3]
Still watching the cars move
Still watching the lights upon the window
I'm walking down the street
I'm only thinking of you
I hear the night as it calls to me
It plays a symphony
It says you're gone from me
[Chorus]
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
I'm lost without someone
[Chorus]
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone
As I go on, I hope you're remembering
I'm lost without someone
[Outro]
Without someone I can depend on
I'm lost without someone
Send It Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun still shines way up above
But it don't matter now because the dream is gone
The dream is just a memory, oh yeah
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
[Verse 2]
The stars still glow up in the night
But somehow, they don't seem so bright
The dream is gone, the dream is just a memory, oh yeah
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been waiting for a long, long time
Thought I'd found a way
Now I just wait for someone to call
I'm waiting for it every day
[Chorus]
Send it (Send it, send it) on the wires
Send it (Send it, send it) on a plane
Send it (Send it, send it) on an express
But send it back to me again
[Verse 3]
The music plays so loud and clear
But somehow, I can't make you hear
The dream is gone, the dream is just a memory, oh yeah
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
[Pre-Chorus]
When you get what you want, it's a long way down
And you can see for miles around
When you lose it, nothing is for real
If you see my dream, send it back to me
[Chorus]
Send it (Send it, send it) on the wires
Send it (Send it, send it) on a plane
Send it (Send it, send it) on an express
But send it back to me again
[Chorus]
Send it (Send it, send it) on the wires
Send it (Send it, send it) on a plane
Send it (Send it, send it) on an express
But send it back to me again
[Outro]
Send it (Send it, send it)
Send it
Send it (Send it, send it)
Send it on the wires (Send it, send it)
Send it on a plane
Send it on an express
