Rex Goudie Album

We'll go where there's lights out
The night's out of starlight anyway
Maybe we'll find out
I'll catch you before you run away

I can feel my heart out loud
Like a radio without a sound

[Chorus:]
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive

Maybe somewhere
There's nowhere better than right now
We are like windows
And jet planes high above the clouds

Like a train of crush of dreams go by
Rain clouds full of you and I

[Chorus:]
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive

I'll stay awake
With you
One more night
With you
One more dream
Come true

Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin

If you're waiting for what might have been (And I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for a new morning (And I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin (And I'll just drive)
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes

The love you while you're out there
Painted gold
But under the lugh, I see you actin'
In the scene alone
And as the credits are rollin' by
I ask myself
Who is the girl I lie beside

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Had got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore
I rely on you to lie to me some more

I've bitten off more than I care
To ever chew
I'm losing myself. I am too wrapped
Up in you
As you deliver me your lines
I ask myself
Are you in character this time?

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Had got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore
I rely on you to lie to me some more

Who is the girl behind all the lies?
Who is the girl?
Who is the girl?

The love you while you're out there
Painted gold
But under the lights, I see you actin'
Alone

[Chorus:]
I lie awake
and I can't seem to lift my head up
All this weight
Had got me underneath your thumb
And I'm not gunna hurt anymore

We're just two people
Riding in circle
That's spinning around
Just everyday people
Searching for something
We've Already Found

And I'm just a guy
Who's in love with a girl
Not in front of me
Now you're so far away
And I need you right here in my arms

Baby just run
Take a bus,Take a Plane
Take a train
Baby just run
Run as fast as you can
Girl you'll find your way back
'Cause no matter wherever you are
There's no place on this earth thats to far,
Run

We're just two people
Wishing that we were together tonight
Just everyday people
Trying to make sense of this puzzle called life

And I'm just a guy
Who's in love with a girl
Not in front of me
Now you're so far away
And I need you right here in my arms

So baby just run
Take a bus,Take a plane
Take a train
Baby just run
Run as fast as you can
Girl you'll find your way back
'Cause no matter wherever you are
There's no place on this earth thats to far,
Run

Sooner or later it's over
Passing you by and it's gone
There's Not enough time left to wonder
If your where you belong

Take a bus,Take a plane,Take a train
So Baby just Run
Take a bus,Take A plane,Take a train

Baby Just Run
Run as fast as you can
Girl you'll find your way back
'Cause no matter wherever you are
There's no place on this earth thats to far,

I wonder if you even know
You're so beautiful when we're alone
And you look at me
Can we stay here for a while
Cuz you know how to make me smile
Can you feel it too
When I'm close to you

[Chorus:]
I want you
To run with me under the stars
Show me the way that you really are
When no one's watching
I want you
To dance like you've never been hurt
Tell me a secret that no one's heard
I want you
And you alone tonight

Waiting for the sun to rise
Go ahead and close your eyes
Fall into my arms
You don't have to be afraid
Of hiding anything away
When you're here with me
Just be free

[Chorus:]
I want you
To run with me under the stars
Show me the way that you really are
When no one's watching
I want you
To dance like you've never been hurt
Tell me a secret that no one's heard
I want you
And you alone tonight

And it's wild
And it's wild
How you make me feel
And where you take me when you're here

[Chorus:]
I want you
To run with me under the stars
Show me the way that you really are
When no one's watching
I want you
To dance like you've never been hurt
Tell me a secret that no one's heard
I want you

Tell me why you've got your head in your hands
Say you've been kicked around
Of you're hiding in the corner with your hat
pulled down low
You can't see past the next round

Whever happened to the fire inside of you?
You had the world by the tail
Oh no one else remembers but man I do
You coulda had it all but you walked away
Don't walk away...

[Chorus:]
If it's what you love it's worth fighting for
Don't tell me it's too tough
You got your doubts
Yeah I've been there before
And I think you're strong enough
Yeah I think you're strong enough

Oh you were fast as lightning
You had the golden touch
You carried everyone to the top
I guess you cracked under pressure
It was a long hard way to fall
You didn't even try to get back up
You gotta get back up

[Chorus:]
If it's what you love it's worth fighting for
Don't tell me it's too tough
You got your doubts
Yeah I've been there before
And I think you're strong enough
Yeah I think you're strong enough

To take another shot
Try it all again
Somehow find a way
To get back to where you've been
I want that fighter that I knew
That fire in your eyes
You've got a second chance
Don't give up and let it die

[Chorus:]
If it's what you love it's worth fighting for
Don't tell me it's too tough
You got your doubts
Yeah I've been there before
And I think you're strong enough

Life sometimes changes so quickly
Nothing's safe nothing's sound
Just when I think I'm invincible
The world turns it all upside down
I thought you'd be here all my lifetime
Working each day til it's end
You were much more than just family
You were more like a friend
And with one simple phone call you were taken away
I'm misunderstanding what justice it pays
Are the powers above us playing some kind of game
Now I'm left here to carry your name

[Chorus:]
And I know that you're out there
Cuz I feel you running through my veins
Why you're gone, that's the mystery
That's the reason I still call your name

Lived each day to the fullest
Pushed himself to the edge
Nerves of steel, scared of nothing
Had a good laugh til the end
I heard through a phone call you were taken away
Too young to had ever lived all of your days
When I heard of the reason I'd questions bout why
What you loved to do took your life

[Chorus:]
And I know that you're out there
Cuz I feel you running through my veins
Why you're gone, that's the mystery

Backbeat like an axe
Coming down on the melody
Time to give into
Better living through the chemistry

Eight foot letters
Can't read the writing
If you want me to see
You better write it in lightning
better write it in lightning
better write it in lightning

Take a swing at me now
Tear a strip off me anytime
It don't even matter
If the punishment fits the crime

I'll stick my hand in between
Two dobermans fighting
If you want me to see
You better write it in lightning
You better write it in lightning
You better write it in lightning

Ooh ahh

Make it all blow up
My indifference is frightening
And if you want me to see
You better write it in lightning
(if you want me to see)
You better write it in lightning
(if you want me to see)

For so long I was so weak
Couldn't let anyone inside
When I was down on my beliefs
Is when I fell into your eyes
You changed the way I think
My head was lost right out in space
my soul began to sink
You put a smile back on my face

[Chorus:]
Now I'm finally getting over
You turned my world around
You have me the strength I found
Now I've learned to take the bad things
Turn 'em into something good
So I hope you understand
That you made me who I am

Everyday there's a new struggle
with every unexpected turn
Try to stay away from trouble
Unless you're liking to get burnt

[Chorus:]
Now I'm finally getting over
You turned my world around
You have me the strength I found
Now I've learned to take the bad things
Turn 'em into something good
So I hope you understand
That you made me who I am

I was lost
how do I thank you
for making me who I am
You made me, you made me, you made me,
you made me
You made me who I am

[Chorus:]
Now I'm finally getting over
You turned my world around
You have me the strength I found
Now I've learned to take the bad things
Turn 'em into something good
So I hope you understand

Midnight in August
Hanging with my friends
Out til 4, wake up at 2
Then do it all again

Radios and crickets
Watch the meteors fly
The parking lot sure empties out quick
When the cops come by

Hold on to this
You never know what you might miss

[Chorus:]
Could be any town on any night
The Texaco's all we need for light
Nothing really happens, and that's alright
On this one true summer night

There's this cool guy
I'm not sure of his name
Pretend I don't notice
But I know that he's doing the same

Maybe meet up later
Nothing better to do
Than sit in the front seat
Just talk as the dawn runs blue

You gotta hold on to this
Never know where you're going with that first kiss

[Chorus:]
Could be any town on any night
The Texaco's all we need for light
Nothing really happens, and that's alright

A tide inside your heart
Keeps rising in the dark
Surrounds you like an ocean
And you can't keep from going under
Somewhere in the deep
I find you half asleep
'Cause I will never leave you
I will not forsake you

[Chorus:]
I will stay
Here with you while you fall
I won't say
Anything, anything at all
I will stay

When all the empty words
Won't take away the hurt
Even everything is broken
All the wounds are open
I'll be here
A shoulder you can cry on
A friend you can rely on
In between the shadows
Where no one else will follow

[Chorus:]
I will stay
Here with you while you fall
I won't say
Anything, anything at all
I will stay

[Repeat]
[Chorus:]
I will stay
Here with you while you fall
I won't say
Anything, anything at all

(feat. Melissa O'Neil)

[REX:]
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette.
She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget.
We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time,
But he never could get drunk enough you get her off his mind,
Until the night

[REX AND MELISSA:]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away her memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.
We found him with his face down in the pillow,
With a note that said: "I'll love her till I die."
And when we buried him beneath the willow,
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
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.

[MELISSA:]
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself.
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.
She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time,
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind,
Until the night.

[REX AND MELISSA:]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger.
And finally drank away his memory.
Life is short, but this time it was bigger,
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees.
We found her with her face downin the pillow,
Clinging to his picture for dear life.
We laid her next to him beneath the willow,
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la,

So that's how it's gunna be,
To tired to scream.
Change is gunna come,
When all we do is sink into the sun.

Won't you come and rescue me?
I'm certain it will be
My time to face the music now
Happier the day is almost here

[Chorus:]
Break the silence
The time has come to make a choice
Made a stand and use your voice now
Break the silence
Let the music free your soul
Scream until there's silence no more.

Always hiding you desire
Extinguishing your fire
Are you brave enough to face yourself,
Or are you just a slave to the machine?

When all you had wouldn't suffice
You took the hit to save a fight
Put a noose around your soul
To let it out you gotta scream into the night.

[Chorus:]
Break the silence
The time has come to make a choice
Made a stand and use your voice now
Break the silence
Let the music free your soul
Scream until there's silence no more.

Break the chains
That hold your spirit and bind your soul
Take the stage and let it go.

So that's how it is, but I say change is
gunna come
Why must you always make me feel
Like nothings ever good enough for you.

[Chorus:]
Break the silence
The time has come to make a choice
Made a stand and use your voice now
Break the silence
Let the music free your soul
Scream until there's silence no more.

Let the music free your soul.
