Backstreet Boys Album

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can’t find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Incomplete

Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around your finger
Always in my mind
The days they blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me

I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

All the doors are closing
I’m trying to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it was me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away

And I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

That since I lost you, I lost myself
I know I can’t fake it, there’s no one else

I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know

[Brian]
Everybody Knows
That I was such a fool
To ever let go of you
And baby I was wrong
And yeah I know I said
We'd be better off alone
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart
I didn't mean to break your heart

[Chorus - All]
But baby here I am
Bangin' on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawlin' back to you
Beggin' for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was runnin' from the truth
And now I'm crawlin' back to you

[Nick]
I know you're in there
And you can make me wait
But I'm not gonna wait
It's the least that I could do
Just to tell you face to face
I was lyin' to myself
Now I'm dyin' in this hell
Girl I know you're mad
Well I can't blame you for bein' mad

[Chorus - All]
But baby here I am
Bangin' on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawlin' back to you
Beggin' for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was runnin' from the truth
And now I'm crawlin' back to you

[Nick & AJ]
If you could see these tears I'm cryin'
Touch these hands that can't stop shakin'
Hear my heart that's barely beatin'
You would see a different man

[AJ]
But baby here I am
Bangin' on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised

[All]
And I'm crawlin' back to you
Beggin' for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was runnin' from the truth
Now I'm crawlin' back to you
Bangin' on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
I was runnin' from the truth
Now I'm crawlin' back to you

[AJ]
Oh yeah

[Brian]
Crawlin' back to you

[Nick]
Crawlin' back to you

[Kevin]
Crawlin' back to you

It’s a weird world…

Hey, hey, hey-- the sun is over the city, but it’s a orange day
There is reason for looking up, but I’m feeling down
You see I’ve got to catch a plane, won’t buy a ticket
Cause it’s hard to just stop, when you’re spinning around

It’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
It’s a weird world and it won’t slow down
It’s a weird world, no matter how you roll it

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way to stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love
It’s a weird world…yeah

Sent a message to a GI in the desert
Said thank you man for bringing another dawn
Back here it’s her and me and we’re having our first baby
He's out there, takin’ 'em on

It’s a weird world, and I know you know it?
It’s a weird world and it won’t slow down
It’s a weird world, no matter how you roll it

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way to stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love

I’m closing my eyes, but I’m starting to see
While he’s looking at you, she’s looking at me
The only thing it does is just keep me away from you
Sure part of this place would cheer if I die, but
don’t let 'em take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile, take away your beautiful smile…

Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way, just stand up and fight it
Hey, hey, hey- sweet baby- there’s a way for you to decide it
Hey, hey, hey, never give up and don’t let it wear out (now) your love

Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a weird world, don’t you know it?
Hey, hey, hey…

Who are you now?
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow?
What do you do
At this very moment when I think of you?
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that?

No matter how I fight it
Can't deny it
Just can't let you go

I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Now look at me
Instead of moving on, I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
And I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last (to last)

I've tried to fight it
Can't deny it
You don't even know

That I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Ohhhh
Wish I could find you
Just like you found me
Then I would never let you go (without you)

Though everything's been said and done (yeah)
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right beside you)
But still no (still no word) word from you

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Jodee was a long way from home
She can make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of her landscape
Riding her bike through alphabet city

She likes to party in the backseat under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow, taking bets that the sun won't rise
She said "What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile and make you want to believe

CHORUS
That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

Jodee likes to shop lift in stores
Right alongside the rich and famous
Get in elevators, press emergency stop
And make love on the floor until the camera made us

And no woman in the world ever made me feel like my heart's on fire
When she walked I followed, when she laughed I cried,
"What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
And I was wrapped around her finger , and I began to believe

CHORUS (2x)

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la (la la la la la)
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la laaa

Tell me what you want from me
I've got everything you need
It's getting hard for me to breathe
Let me be your guarantee

CHORUS (2x)

Right Now Right Now
Right Now oh oh oh
Poster Girl
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Poster Girl
Come on Come On

Oh no
Take what you need 'cause I can't hold my breath
Say what you feel 'cause I got nothing left, oh
I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it if it's wrong or right

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose and I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful, it's a chance I take even if I break it
I lose it all, if I lose it all
Wouldn't matter anyway

Don't change a thing, perfect as you are
Time has a way, time is all I've got
If my heart should shatter watching you
That'd be one less thing I'd have to prove

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose and I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful, it's a chance I take even if I break it
I lose it all, if I lose it all

Heaven will be waiting when I fall into your open arms
I believe you'll find me there
You'll find me there

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose and I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful, it's a chance I take even if I break it
I lose it all, if I lose it all

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose and I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful, it's a chance I take even if I break it
I lose it all, if I lose it all
Wouldn't matter anyway

Close your eyes, make a wish
This could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is that keeps us from each other now
Yeah, its coming to get me
You're under my skin

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you

Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside (ohh yeah)
There's gotta be a way you and I together now
Yeah it's comin' to get me
You're under my skin

No I can't let you go
Your a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you

It's an illusion how can I feel this way
(if I can't have you)
It's an illusion nothing is real this way
(if I can't have you)

No I can't let you go
Your a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss (I don't want to know)
And I don't want to know
The reason why I can't stay forever like this (I am climbing the walls)
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you (oooooooohhhhhhh)

I can't let you go no
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this (no no)
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss (I miss you) you

Oh no no baby
Oh, yeah

How can I begin ta
Tell you what cha do ta
Me every time I hear ya
More willin' and wantin' to see ya
I know that there's no use in
Tryin' to explain my confusion
But still I'm not complainin' 'bout my situation

Let's not talk about a possible ending
The very first time that I
Was thinkin' of bein' your fella
I found my inspiration
Hidin' in your expression
And so I put myself forward for your consideration
Yeah yeah yeah

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know I'm so in love with you
I'm findin' it harder and harder to breathe every time we're here
My beautiful woman (Yeah)

And so I put the top down
To take ya drivin downtown
I guess we know just what ta
Do when we're lookin to fool around
It's too late to stop me
I know we're gonna get down
Get down oh no no no

Let's not talk about a possible ending (baby)
Let's not think about it every day
And I know I'm so in love with you
I'm findin' it harder and harder to breathe every time we're here
My beautiful woman (My beautiful woman)
My beautiful woman (Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are)
My beautiful woman (anything that you want me to, I'll do)
My beautiful woman

'B' is for beautiful as the sunshine
'E' tells me everything is feelin' alright
'A' goes to you and me swingin' in time
'T' is too, I want you
You've got me actin' like a fool

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know I'm so in love with you
I'm findin' it harder and harder to breathe every time we're here
My beautiful woman

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know I'm so in love with you
I'm findin' it harder and harder to breathe every time we're here
My beautiful woman (My beautiful woman)
My beautiful woman (Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are)
My beautiful woman (So beautiful)
My beautiful woman (My beautiful woman)

Yeah...

[Brian]
It seems like yesterday when I said I do
And after all this time my heart still burns for you
If you don't know by now that you're my only one
Then take a look inside me
And watch my heartstrings come undone

[Howie]
I know I promised you forever
Is there no stronger word I can use?
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You're my safest place to hide

[Chorus - Brian as lead]
Can you see me, here I am
I need you like I needed you then
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide

[Nick]
You see colours no one else can see
In every breath you hear a symphony
You understand me like nobody can
I feel my soul unfoldin'
Like a flower bloomin'

[AJ]
When this whole world gets too crazy
And there's nowhere left to run
I know you give me sanctuary
You're the only truth I know
You're the road back home

[Chorus - AJ as lead]
Can you see me, here I am
Standin' here where I've always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide

[AJ]
My safest place to hide

[Kevin]
I know I promised you forever
There's no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
You're my safest place to hide
Oh!

[Chorus - Nick as lead]
Can you see me, here I am
Standin' here where I've always been
When I feel givin' up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide

[Nick]
Oh yeah
You're my safest place to hide

“When you come back I won't be here,” she said and gently pulled me near
“If you wanna talk you can call, I know it’s not your fault.”
I just smiled and said “Let go of me.”
Now there’s something I just gotta know- did someone else steal my part?”
She said “it’s not my fault.”

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too

I was drifting in between
Like I was on the outside looking in
Yeah
In my dreams you still are here like you always been

Oh Yeah, my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you…

Gave myself away completely
But you just couldn’t see me while I was sleeping in your bed
Cause someone else was on your mind, in your head

When I came back, she wasn’t there
Just a note left on the stairs-- “If you wanna talk give me a call…”

My heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too

My heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too

[Nick - Spoken]
I really miss you
There's something I gotta say...

[Brian]
The things we did, the things we said
Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you

[Howie]
And though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside I know you are...

[Chous - All]
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, every day
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

[Brian]
I walk along these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the praise you showed
Will always give me strength and be my corner stone

[Nick]
Somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be...

[Chorus - All]
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, every day
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

[Brian]
Never gone from me
If there's one thing I believe

[AJ]
I will see you somewhere down the road again

[Chorus - All]
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

[All]
Never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way

[Brian]
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are

Hey hey
This ones for the mothers who’ve lost a child
This ones for the gypsies who left their hearts behind
This is for the strangers sleeping in my heart
Take what they want and leave while it’s still dark

No one is glamorously lonely all by themselves
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind
It’s a song for the unloved… the unloved

This ones for the bridesmaid, never the bride
And this ones for the dreamers who locked their faith inside
And this is for the widows who think there’s only one of the dying fathers who never told their sons

No one is glamorously lonely
Follow your heart

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind
It’s a song for the unloved… the unloved

Oh…Tomorrow the sun will shine and dry the tears in your eyes
Suddenly love comes alive
Suddenly love comes alive

For one last cry… just one last cry

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind

This is…this is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind
It’s a song for the unloved.

InsWashed away my sad face,
Flooded all my empty space
You take away life's heartbreak
And I know with you it's gonna be ok

You're rushin through me
(Like water from Heaven)
I Feel you movin through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
I know that there must be
Something here
(so alive)
Cause you're all the air in my atmosphere
Finally I feel complete cause
You are rushed over me yeah
(over me over me over me)

There?s no more blindness
When I cry I'm smiling
You kept me from dying
And I know with you I'll keep on living

You're rushin through me
(Like water from Heaven)
I Feel you movin through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
I know that there must be
Something here
(so alive)
Cause you're all the air in my atmosphere
Finally I feel complete cause
You are rushed over me

It's not enough just holding on
Before I met you I was lost
Now that you're standing here
I don't want you to go
I know that your love keeps me alive

You're rushin through me
(Like water from Heaven)
I Feel you movin through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
I know that there must be
Something here
(so alive)
Cause you're all the air in my atmosphere
Finally I feel complete cause
You are rushed over me

You're rushin through me
(Like water from Heaven)
I Feel you movin through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
I know that there must be
Something here
(so alive)
Cause you're all the air in my atmosphere
Finally I feel complete cause
You are rushed over me

Only one life to live in
Trying our best to make it through
Ooooh we're trying our best to make it through
There's no mistakes, just lessons
It's all about what they mean to you

No matter what you've gone through (you can)
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
'Cause we have to
Accept the wrongs and try to make them right
It may be hard to
Look at yourself and see the truth
Baby you've got to
Realize it takes time to become you
So just get to

Chorus:
Moving on
We're moving on
We're moving on
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Moving on

Well take what you've been given
Gotta take a chance while we can
To find our place in our world
We gotta understand the plan (understand)

Ohh just put the past behind you
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
'Cause we have to
Accept the wrongs and try to make them right
Ohhh you can
Look at yourself and see the truth
Ohh ohh realize it takes time to become you
Oh just get to..

(Repeat chorus)

We know we've changed
But we're still the same
Getting closer to what we're supposed to be
As life goes on you'll have your time
'Cause everything's meant to be

Moving on, moving on
Everything must change
While we're still the same

(Repeat chorus)

Moving on, moving on
Everything must change
While we're still the same...
