unknown

i want a road stretching out before me
I want a radio in my ear
I want a full tank of absolution
No fear

I want a rainstorm to pull me over
Then a sky that begins to clear
Towards the truest of destinations
No fear

Chorus: i used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All i ever wanted was right here
But i had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith i'd find
No fear

I want the world to just keep on turning
I want the dawn in my rear view mirror
I want to hear my own voice singing
No fear

And when i need two arms around me
And there's no one near
When i'm alone let the only sound be
No fear

Chorus: i used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All i ever wanted was right here
But i had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith i'd find
No fear

I want peace, love, and understanding
A stogie and an ice cold beer
Don't want to live afraid of dying

I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All i ever wanted was right here
But i had to reach way down inside

I used to stay up all night long
Wondering what i was doing wrong
All i every needed was right here
But i had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith i'd find
No fear

maybe it's been a little too long
Holding it in, trying to be strong
Funny the things we bottle up
Come streaming out when you feel enough
There is a trust the cautious will lack
Now that we've touched, there's no holding back

I want to call out for love 'til i can't breathe
I want to stare at the truth 'til i can' see
I want to pour out my soul 'til i'm empty
Empty

When only flesh and bone remain
I'll hold you close, then start again
Feeling nothing but a sweet release
When the ghosts are gone from inside of me

I've tried to fight it but what can i do
There's something deeper that surrenders to you

I want to call out for love 'til i can't breathe
I want to stare at the truth 'til i can't see
I want to pour out my soul' til i'm empty
Empty

When i touch you, when i hear you
How can i doubt when everytime i'm near you

I want to call out for love 'til i can't breathe
I want to stare at the truth 'til i can't see
I want to pour out my soul 'til i'm empty
Empty
Empty

i've got an ice-cold cup of coffee
And a paper i haven't read
A canyon in my heart
And a hammer in my head
And a waitress with an empty stare
That looks right through me

I'm sitting at this table
And i'm balancing the salt
Weighing out my choices
Baby it's nobody's fault
And i'm torn up by these voices
Talking to me

You say there's no good reason
For me to walk away
You say there's so much good between us
Who wouldn't want to stay
But how can i be with you
If deep down i believe
I'll lose a part of me

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when i know there's something more
I gotta find what my heart beats for

I've got a half of page of reasons
And a napkin full of tears
From trying to pull my spirit
Through the pocket of my fears
As the lunch crowd empties out
Into the city

And there may not be a way for me
To make you understand
I'll write down the words i'm feeling
And i'll leave it in your hands
But the memories of our love
I'm taking with me

You say there's no good reason
For me to walk away
You say we're meant to be together
And i'm making a mistake
But this emptiness inside me
Has brought me to this road and i have to let you go

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when i know there's something more
I gotta find what my heart beats for

For the passion everlasting
For the deepest dream
For a chance to love like that
There is no in between

Chorus: sometimes goodbye is the only open door
I can't turn back when i know there's something more
I gotta find what my hear beats for
