everything is changing

I can't help but remember
i know i should forget
what's done is done now
all that's left is the regrets
the place we knew then
it's all been changed
i'm supposed to move on
and act my age

(chorus)

seems like nothing's meant to stay the same
the world's gone crazy
everything is changing
nothing here makes sense anymore
just an unforgotten feeling
i can't feel anymore

i still take the long way
it tears me apart
the sun goes down now
and it's burnin' my heart
the world is movin'
just let it be
it's all in past tense
like you and me

(chorus)

seems like nothing's meant to stay the same
the world's gone crazy
everything is changing
nothing here makes sense anymore
just an unforgotten feeling
i can't feel anymore

hang on tonight

fly on the wings on a dream you lived with
all of your dark days
fade away
leave them behind

take a drink of the cool clear water
then be on your way
on the way
to meet tomorrow

(chorus)
hang on tonight because there's another day on the way
another day...
better than the ones you've seen before that fade
hang on tonight because there's a better plan at your command
another day closer
to when you understand

hold on to something free and easy
let the pain subside
let it go
leave it behind

take a chance on a friend worth knowing
and you just might find
another soul
another time

(chorus)
hang on tonight because there's another day on the way
another day...
better than the ones you've seen before that fade
hang on tonight because there's a better plan at your command
another day closer
to when you understand

(bridge)
there ain't no way to know where your going
even with the best laid plans
changes come but you just might find
something better in your hand

(chorus)
hang on tonight because there's another day on the way
another day...
better than the ones you've seen before that fade
hang on tonight because there's another plan at your command
another day closer
to when you understand

where were you?

when i tried to say what i had to say
when the rain was fallin' down
where were you?
where were you?

when i was searching my heart for an answer
trying to hear what you would say
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard

when i was spilling my soul on the paper
when i was dark as a winter's night
where were you?
where were you ?

when i was seeking your mind for some comfort
trying hard to find your light
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard
