1. A Teardrop to the Sea - Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon - 5:07

https://youtu.be/cDwia5nMXBY


So this is it
Here it is
A pot of gold
A Judas kiss

I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea

They shake my hand
Pat my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
Life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly,
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea

[Guitar Solo]

It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the street
Move along, move along
Ain't nothing here to see

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly,
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbyes
Oh, love pick me up
Oh, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea

[Guitar Solo]

A teardrop to the sea

2. We Don't Run - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:17

https://youtu.be/t_PQvX5dUnE

Take a look around you
Yeah the sky is falling
Sinners say your prayers
This train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever when
Tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil
To get one day back! ah

Not afraid of burning bridges
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Welcome to the future
It's a new day

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe

Not afraid of burning bridges
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Welcome to the future
It's a new day

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)
(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)

[Guitar solo]

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

"We don't run"
(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)

3. Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning - Bon Jovi, Shanks, Richie Sambora - 3:23

https://youtu.be/gdGMhU24EAA


I was living my life like a long-lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into deep end
I wasn’t missin’ nothin’ that was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it

You came walking in late but just in time
You ended my excuses with a ten-cent rhyme
Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were the story of my life.

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

When you're driving down a street that’s only going one way
Every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays
You should know I still got something left to prove
I know what it takes to get back to you

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Remember those nights staring out at the lights
Making time with our feet in the sand
Making up words to our favorite songs
Laughin’ loud with those drinks in our hands
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer
And as the world just disappeared
You whispered in my ear

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Sunday morning

5. Blind Love - Jon Bon Jovi - 4:48

https://youtu.be/xbJqBflyli4


Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
Sit at the counter counting tips
Can't count on nothing else these days

Don't wanna go home to the TV
Dont' wanna go down to some bar
You grab a blanket
Pull the top down
And go driving in your car

Though your bed's as warm as January
On this cold December's night

Chorus
Close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

Welcome to another morning
The sun's still shining but it's grey
Get out of bed now sleepy head
You'd give an arm to hear him say

Oh, and no one said that it'd be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard

Chorus
To close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I've got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

If there's a patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love

These days it's hard for me to feel the sand beneath my feet
With this gunny sack and boots on, oh
But no one said this would be easy
And no one said it'd be this hard

Chorus
Close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

If there's a patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love
With our blind love
Blind love

Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day

9. I'm Your Man - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:44

https://youtu.be/YU2WxNUit2U

When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,

No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am,
I'm your man,

We know not to ask questions,
So no one has to lie,
We both know without hello,
There won't be no goodbyes,
No promises that we won't keep,
No more to understand,
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man,
I'm your man,

We both know we're lonely,
When we hold each other tight,
But we won't ask forgiveness,
When we walk away at night,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need to say those words,
Just take my hand,
I'm your man.

4. We All Fall Down - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 4:05

- Posted by Savvi
We Fall Down

Shattered dreams, stand up and be proud
I'm telling you now, yeah

Chorus
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall,
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall,
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down,

Down on your luck, you're feeling small
The little things seem 10 feet tall,
Watch your dreams fall apart at the seams,
You wanna scream and shout out loud,
When you sit up they knock you down,
You're a long way from home, aha
But you're never alone, yeah

Chorus

Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall,
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall,
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall),

5. Who Would You Die For?

For just one look I'd crawl across the floor,
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

Will you write me lipstick letters
And miss me when I'm gone?
Wake up tangled in the sheets
Still aching for my arms?
The way you move it's almost holy
Hoping you don't know you're only
All I want is all of you and more
The big bad wolf is knockin' at your door,

Chorus
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?
I wanna know, your secrets and your sins,
I wanna feel, your breathing out and in
I wanna know, I wanna know
Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

[Guitar solo]

I wanna know what makes you feel,
I wanna know love truly heals,
I wanna know what makes you feel...

Fingerprints

I gave you my fringerprints,
Now just like you they're gone,
A man invisible,
I'll be him from now on,

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair,
You held (?) one between your lips and brought another there,
The last time that I saw them,
I haven't seen them since,
No matter who or what I touch, I leave no evidence
I gave you my fingerprints,

I said I'd give you every thing,
But who'd thought you'd take it all,
Does a promise really break,
If nobody sees it fall,
A heartbreak can't wash away,
The taste of your memory,
Don't know what I would do,
If you should stop haunting me,

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair

Life Is Beautiful

You've got all the answers,
but the answers are all wrong

Chorus
I can't save you from my sins,
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away,
These hallow words my mouth won't pray,
You fly, you fall,
Life is beautiful,

She's there to lift me up but I only let her down,
A guilty king wears a broken crown,
She's sweet forgiveness in a lonesome lost and found,

Chorus

I can't save you from my sins,
Innocence my long lost friend
No wind, no rain can wash away,
These hallow words my mouth won't pray,
You fly, you fall,
Life is beautiful,

10. Burning Bridges - 2:44

Someone shut the lights off
Turn the page
The stories I could write
I’ve seen a million faces
And I’ve lived a couple lives
Here's our history
For all to see
The smiles and all the scars
First, the rising, then the falling
Call this chapter "Shooting Stars"
Must sound good
From where you are

Sayonara, adios
Auf Wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, good night, guten Abend
Here's one last song you can sell!
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, good night, guten Abend
Play it for your friends in hell

Aaah check the box
Yeah! Mark this date
There's nothing more to say
After 30 years of loyalty
They let you dig the grave
Now maybe you could learn to sing
Or even strum along
But I ('ll give/ give / gave?) you half the publishing
You're why I wrote the song

Everybody, sing along!
Sayonara, adios
Auf Wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, good night, guten Abend
Here's one last song you can sell!
Let's call it "Burning Bridges"
It's a singalong as well
Hope my money and my m...

Wow... Jon said he had a lot of stuff he needed to get off his chest but I never knew Richie's departure had such an impact on him. I don't mean to go THERE again but... makes sense. This album's lyrics are some of the best Jon has ever wrote. I don't care if it's a 'fan album'. It's good and that's that.

Odds are it's aimed at the label, not Richie. I'd rather not go there either but Richie's leaving had to have effected him.

exactly. it may not ALL be about Richie but c'mon, it can't just be a coincidence, especially since it's the first album since his departure. It's too obvious. Jon will obviously deny it but he'll feed on the controversy and so will the album - especially since it's a 'fan' album - casual fans won't know what the heck he's sining about but die hards will.

It's like Lennon releasing 'How Do You Sleep?' and denying it's about McCartney.

Maybe it's a combination of both. When Jon sat down to write it he probably had both in mind. The anger probably comes from Richie

Just a detail: in A Teardrop To The Sea, in the last chorus, there's "no bitter goodbyes".
I'd love to know what the inspiration for this song was and how old is this. I really love this song, its dark mood, something we haven't heard for some time from this band.

Has anyone already written down the lyrics of I'm Your Man? I don't wanna do it :)

Cool and thanks!

I must say I like the lyrics of the five songs. I'm Your Man is finally something different and it sounds fresh.

We All Fall Down
Don't be afraid to lose your way,
Take that step, don't hesitate,
Your time is now, aha
Don't be afraid to scrape your knees,
On the streets of shattered dreams, stand up and be proud
I'm telling you now, yeah

Chorus
Climb every mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall,
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall,
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down,

Down on your luck, you're feeling small,
The little things seem ten feet tall,
Watch your dreams fall apart at the seams,
You wanna scream and shout out loud,
When you sit up they knock you down,
You're a long way from home, aha

Walk out on that wire,

Keep your back against the wall,
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall),

I won't dig it in this dirt,
Won't leave hands and mouth/Won't even enter mouth, ??? (wth is he saying here?)
Won't try and to fit in,
Try to not chicken out,

Guitar Solo

Life doesn't wait, don't hesitate,
Don't lose your faith, it's judgement day,
I'm calling you out, aha,
I'm calling you now

Don't ever be afraid to fall,
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall,

Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down

Santa Fe 08-20-2015 05:36 PM

Thay should make some lyric videos for Who would you die for ? , Fingerprints ,
Life is beautiful and for Burning bridges.
I think these are the lyrics that we haven't got

Chorus
Sayonara, adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell

Hope my money and my masters
Buy a front row seat in hell.

Ciao, adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Play it for your friends in … St. Tropez.


Who Would You Die For?
When you walked into the party
The guests all disappeared.
You dropped in with a group of friends.
I didn’t notice they were there.
Was it the way your fingers held that glass?
The way your lips broke when you laughed?
I don’t care if the devil’s keeping score.
For just one look I'd crawl across the floor.

Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

Will you write me lipstick letters,
And miss me when I'm gone?
Wake up tangled in the sheets,
Still aching for my arms?
The way you move it's almost holy,
Hoping you don't know you're only,
All I want is all of you and more.
The big bad wolf is knockin’ at your door,

Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
Your secrets and your sins. (Who would you die for?)
I wanna feel (Who would you die for?)
Your breathing out and in.
I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
I wanna know

Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

Guitar solo

I wanna know what makes you feel.
I wanna know love truly heals.
I wanna know what makes you feel.
I wanna know love truly heals.
I wanna know what makes you feel.
I wanna know love truly heals.
I wanna know what makes you feel.
I wanna know love truly heals.

When you walked into the party
It was like the guests all disappeared.
You dropped in with a group of friends
I didn’t notice they were there.
Was it the way your fingers held that glass?
The way your lips broke when you laughed?
I don’t care if the devil’s keeping score.
For just one kiss I'd crawl across the floor.

Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
your secrets and your sins. (Who would you die for?)
I wanna feel (Who would you die for?)
your breathing out and in.
I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
I wanna know

Who would you die for?
Who would you die for?

I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
I wanna know (Who would you die for?)
I wanna know.


We All Fall Down
Don’t be afraid to lose your way.
Take that step; don’t hesitate.
Your time is now, uh-huh.
Don’t be afraid to scrape your knees
On these streets of shattered dreams,
Stand up and be proud, uh-huh.
I'm telling you now, yeah

Chorus
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down.

Down on your luck, you're feeling small.
The little things seem 10 feet tall.
Why’d your dreams fall apart at the seams?
You wanna scream and shout out loud.
When you sit up they knock you down,
You're a long way from home, uh-huh,
But you're never alone, yeah

Chorus
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground,
Cos we all (all), fall (fall)…

If we’re all digging in this dirt,
We’re all livin’ hand-to-mouth.
We’re all tryin to fit in,
Tryin’ not to chicken out.

Life doesn’t wait, don’t hesitate.
Don’t lose your faith, it’s judgment day.
I’m calling you out, uh-huh,
I’m calling you now.

Chorus
Climb Every Mountain,
How high doesn't matter,
Don't ever be afraid to fall.
Walk out on that wire,
Climb every ladder,
Keep your back against the wall.
And don't be scared to hit the ground.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.

Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.
Cos we all (all), fall (fall) down.


Fingerprints
I gave you my fingerprints,
Left them all over you,
Tangled up in your sheets
This heartache’s the only proof.
I gave you my fingerprints,
Now just like you they're gone,
The man invisible,
I'll be him from now on.

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair.
You held one between your lips
And brought another there.
The last time that I saw them,
I haven't seen them since.
No matter who or what I touch
I leave no evidence.
I gave you my fingerprints.

I said I'd give you everything,
But who'd thought you'd take it all.
Does a promise really break,
If nobody sees it fall?
A hard rain can't wash away
The taste of your memory,
Don't know what I would do,
If you should stop haunting me.

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair,
You held one between your lips
And brought another there,
The last time that I saw them,
Unbuttoning your dress,
Those pretty pictures in my head
Are the only thing you left.
I gave you my fingerprints.

That china box I gave to you
Was all there was to me.
All it was to you
Was just a faded memory.

I gave her my fingerprints
Guilty or innocent
I had to ask myself
Would I do it all again?
Would I?

Chorus
The last time that I saw them,
They were running through your hair.
You held one between your lips
And brought another there,
The last time that I saw them,
I haven't seen them since,
No matter who or what I touch,
I leave no evidence
I gave you my fingerprints.


Life Is Beautiful
Try to walk on water,
You’ll sink just like a stone.
Said you’d get home early
But you always stay too long.
You've got all the answers,
But the answers are all wrong.

Chorus
I can't save you from my sins,
Innocence, my long lost friend.
No wind, no rain can wash away,
These hallowed words my mouth won't pray.
You fly, you fall,
Life is beautiful.

She's there to lift me up
But I only let her down.
A guilty king
Wears a broken crown.
She's sweet forgiveness
In a lonesome lost and found,

Chorus
I can't save you from my sins,
Innocence, my long lost friend.
No wind, no rain can wash away,
These hallow words my mouth won't pray,
You fly, you fall.
Life is beautiful.

New gets old, the night gets cold.
Sad good-bye, life is beautiful.
The sky is cracked, we can’t go back,
Dry your eyes.
Life is beautiful.

I can't save you from my sins,
Innocence, my long lost friend.
No wind, no rain can wash away,
These hallowed words my mouth won't pray.

New gets old, the night gets cold,
Sad good bye, life is beautiful.
The sky is cracked, we can’t go back.
Dry your eyes.
Life is beautiful.

Life is beautiful.


Take Back the Night (snippet)

... (We’re gonna)
Take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night.

Do you wanna be another casualty?
The one who stands his ground
When everybody leaves?
It’s time for taking sides,
It’s time to face the truth.
Too late for turning back,
So what’cha gonna do?
Listen, I need something different.
There’s no time for reason.
I’m tired of bleeding.

Chorus
We’re gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night.

Doesn't it say "I can't save me from my sins"? At least that's what I hear.

I think that "turn the page" is OK. He's saying to them to turn off the lights and turn the page, like saying "our story is over, move on".

The record co. moved on without Jon's approval or advice, that's why he's so pissed off!

But both POVs are valid. :)
Mine is: someone sent us packing because someone got fed up with the stories I could write, that's why I wrote this song.

JackieBlue 08-21-2015 03:41 PM

It could be "me" or "you". I heard it both ways and couldn't decide. I can also see two POVs, so I could go either way on "turn" vs. "turned". I was thinking it was a nod to Seger, as the inspiration for WDOA, since that's referenced, too.

ezearis 08-21-2015 04:35 PM

Take Back The Night:

(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)

You're saving days and nights
Are always blaming
This soaked tragic life
So where's the happy ending?
Stucked at the traffic light
It's just the same old song
I'm humming all the words
But I won't sing alone

Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of giving
And time to start living

We’re gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night

Do you wanna be another casualty?
The one who stands his ground
When everybody leaves?
It’s time for taking sides
It’s time to face the truth
Too late for turning back
So what’cha gonna do?
Listen, I need something different
There’s no time for reason

We’re gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life

[Guitar solo]

Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of dreaming
This time I'm screaming

We’re gonna take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night

Take back the night
We're gonna take back the night


Could be some mistakes, specially in the first verse but that's what I hear.

Old Joysey 08-21-2015 10:06 PM

Not sure about the first lines. I guess it's "say that/saying", not "saving" though.

Stuck at the traffic light
It's just the same old song

I heard "say that" a couple times and "words" too, so could be any of those.

ezearis 08-22-2015 10:25 AM

Heard it again, pretty sure that is "i'm humming all the words". Will correct it. Still I'm not 100% sure about the other ones, I really can't hear well.

Yes, that's what I heard yesterday but, as I said, I'm not sure, that's why I didn't post it, I couldn't get a complete line. I'm sure it's not "Are always blaming" but I can't figure out what it is. And I could listen to the song only twice before I got so bored I gave up.

'We All Fall Down' is such a 'The Circle/What About Now' era song. Definitely has to be from one of them albums.

Don’t be afraid to lose your way
Take that step, don’t hesitate
Your time is now

Don’t be afraid to scrape your knees
On these streets of shattered dreams
Stand up and be proud
I'm telling you now

Climb every mountain
How high doesn't matter
Don't ever be afraid to fall
Walk out on that wire
Climb every ladder
Keep your back against the wall
And don't be scared to hit the ground
Cause we all fall down

Down on your luck, you're feeling small
The little things seem 10 feet tall
Watch your dreams fall apart at the seams

You wanna scream and shout out loud
When you sit up they knock you down
You're a long way from home
But you're never alone, yeah

Climb every mountain

Don't ever be afraid to fall
Walk out on that wire

Don’t lose your faith, it’s judgment day

Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here’s a last song you can sell
Let’s call it “Burning Bridges”
It’s a sing along as well
Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell

Someone shut the lights off
Turn the page
The stories I could write
I’ve seen a million faces
And I’ve lived a couple lives
Here’s our history for all to see
The smiles and all the scars
First the rising, then the falling
Call this chapter “Shooting Stars”
That must sound good from where you are!

Sayonara
Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here’s one last song you can sell
Let’s call it “Burning Bridges”
It’s a singalong as well
Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend
Play it for your friends in hell

Check the box
Mark this day
There’s nothing more to say
After 30 years of loyalty
They let you dig the grave
Now, maybe you could learn to sing
Or even strum along
I’ll give you half the publishing
You’re why I wrote this song
Everybody, sing along!

Sayonara
Adios, auf wiedersehen, farewell
Adieu, goodnight, guten abend
Here’s one last song you can sell
Let’s call it “Burning Bridges”
It’s a singalong as well
Hope my money and my masters
Buy a front row seat in hell

Ciao, adieu, good nacht, guten abend
Play it for your friends in… St. Tropez.

10. Take Back The Night - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:42

http://open.spotify.com/track/30WgqMihXaL6fTWlrBCDcV

These seven days and nights
Are always blending
This so called tragic life
So where’s the happy ending?
Stucked at the traffic light
It’s just the same old song
I’m humming all the words
But I won’t sing along

Listen, I need something different
I’m tired of giving in
Time to start living

We’re going to take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night

Do you wanna be
Another casualty?
Or the one who stands his ground
When everybody leaves?
It’s time for taking sides
It’s time to face the truth
Too late for turning back
So whatcha gonna do?

Listen, I need something different
There’s no time for reason
I’m tired of bleeding

We’re going to take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life
Let’s start a fire, let’s start a fight
We’re gonna take back the night

[Guitar solo]

Listen, I need something different
I'm tired of dreaming
This time I'm screaming

We’re going to take back the night
Surrender to me and save my life

We’re gonna take back the night

Take back the night
We're gonna take back the night
