The Longing
Lyrics:
I sound so casual tonight
When I say I'm alone for another night
It gets to be depressing
But it's something that I'm used to.
I'm with someone again for another ride
Got a feeling it'll only be for the night
When I wake up tomorrow
She won't be there beside me
And I've said it all a hundred times
By now I should just realize
That things are only what they seem
The love I yearn for is in my dreams
Getting tired of living for just one night
I wish love would reflect back from someone's eyes
So that I wouldn't be so afraid to wake and
Realize that I've made another mistake
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
In any case
I have to choose
The night?
The year?
To face
My fear
I want so much
For it all to be clear
And when the sun rises again
Will I still hold a broken heart in my hands
When I offer mine to you tonight
Will the story turn out different this time?
And I've said it all a hundred times
By now I should just realize
That things are only what they seem
The love I yearn for is in my dreams
So when I live again tonight
Will love reflect back from your eyes?
And should I be afraid to wake?
And am I making a mistake?
