Inside Out

(bryan adams/gretchen peters)

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on new year's eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight

I wanna know you, like i know myself
I'm waiting for you, there ain't no one else
I wanna know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep, i wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, i wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, i wanna know your mine
You know there ain't no doubt, i wanna know you inside out

The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you every prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
These are the things i wanna know

I wanna dig down deep, i wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, i wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, i wanna know your mine
You know there ain't no doubt, i wanna know you inside out

I wanna know your soul, i wanna lose control
Come on and let it out, i wanna know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep, i wanna loose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, i wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, i wanna know your mine
You know there ain't no doubt, i wanna know you inside out

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent

What makes you laugh, what makes you cry

Since I heard the whistle
Of a mournful midnight train
Sing a little duet
With a siren in the rain
The sang about true love
Between the damned and the devout
And right then for a moment
The fire in me blew out

And for a moment I felt my shackled heart unchained

It was right then... instant liberation
It was not long... but I was set free
It was release... for a moment love let go of me

Once I saw the moon rise
As the sun climbed into bed
They both shone on each other
'Til the sun blushed ruby red
And then a pair of swallows
Silhouetted cross its face
And my heart pirouetted
Through the twilight with their grace

And for a moment I was not a prisoner of love

It was right then... a little liberation
It was so quick... but I was set free
It was release... for a moment love let go of me

seven year ache


You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way

The girls in the bars thinking, "who is this guy?"
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "god i hope he comes back soon"

[repeat intro]

Everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
Boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?

Splitting your dice to be someone you're not
You say you're looking for something you might've forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home

Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "god i hope he comes back soon"

Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
The boys say, "when is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "god i hope he comes back soon"

[repeat intro till fade]

Saturday, slept through the morning
Just let the phone ring, now isn't that strange
I watched cartoons, poor ole' coyote
Someone had a worse day than me for a change

And it made me happy
It made me smile
For a while

You always said my friends are all crazy
Baby here lately it seems I fit in
We go out just like the old days
Try to find new ways to go there again

And it makes me happy
It makes me smile
For a while

Everythings just fine
A little ray of sunshine
I didn't feel the fault line running straight through my heart
I didn't think about you
I didn't come unglued
It's a temporary undo but it's a start

It's a start

Late at night I write my own movies
And I am the star, when I close my eyes
Except I look at Julia Roberts
And you're just the poor jerk that I walk on by

And it makes me happy
It makes me smile
For a while

Everythings just fine
A little ray of sunshine
I didn't feel the fault line running straight through my heart
I didn't think about you
I didn't come unglued
It's a temporary undo but it's a start

Little victories, I'll take 'em

Everythings just fine
A little ray of sunshine
I didn't feel the fault line running straight through my heart
I didn't think about you
I didn't come unglued
It's a temporary undo but it's a start

It's a start

"when we were still in love"
(written by jude johnstone)

When we were still in love
I knew just what to do
For my heart was like a child at play
When all the world is new

When we were still in love
I didn't have a fear
'cause i still believed a love like ours
Would never disappear

I remember everything
As if it were happening
When the promise that we made
Was everlasting

When we were still in love
Above the clouds we flew, yes
But now they have gone out to sea
To weep for me and you

I remember everything
As if it were happening
When the promise that we made
Was everlasting

When we were still in love
I sang a happy song
But now all i hear is the bitter wind
That whispers love is gone

Now all i hear is the bitter wind
That whispers love is gone

(m.danna/t.verges)

If i'd a-known the way that this would end
If i'd a-read the last page first
If i'd a-had the strength to walk away
If i'd a-known how this would hurt

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second i would change
Not a touch that i would trade
Had i known my heart would break
I'd a-loved you anyway

It's bittersweet to look back now
At mem'ries withered on the vine
But just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second i would change
Not a touch that i would trade
Had i known my heart would break
I'd a-loved you anyway

And even if i'd seen it coming
You'd still've seen me running
Straight into your arms

I would've loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second i would change
Not a touch that i would trade
Had i known my heart would break
I would've loved you anyway

I would've loved you anyway
