Close your eyes, make a wish
That this could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is
That keeps us from each other now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you

Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside
There's gotta be a way you and I together now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you

It's an illusion how can I feel this way
(if I can't have you)
It's an illusion nothing is real this way
(if I can't have you)

No I can't let you go
You're a part of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you

I can't let you go no
And I don't wanna know the reason why
I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls 'cause I miss you

Everybody knows that I was such a fool
To ever let go of you, but baby I was wrong
Yeah I know I said we'd be better off alone
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart
I didn't mean to break your heart
But baby here I am

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you

I know you're in there
And you can make me wait
But I'm not gonna wait
It's the least that I can do
Just to tell you face-to-face

I was lying to myself
Now I'm dying in this hell
Girl I know you're mad
I can't blame you for being mad
But baby here I am

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you

If you can save these tears from crying
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
Hear my heart that's barely beating
You will see a different man
But baby here I am

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised
And I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth
And now I'm crawling back to you

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
I was running from the truth
Now I'm crawling back to you

Now I'm crawling back to you
(Crawling back to you)
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you

Who are you now
Are you still the same
Or did you change somehow
What do you do
At this very moment when I think of you
And when I'm looking back
How we were young and stupid
Do you remember that

No matter how I fight it
Can't deny it
Just can't let you go

I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

Now look at me
Instead of moving on I refuse to see
That I keep coming back
Yeah I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last

I've tried to fight it
Can't deny it
You don't even know

I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you
Like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you

I wish I could find you
Just like I found you
Then I would never let you go

Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you (I still feel you)
Like I'm right beside you (like I'm right beside you)
But still no (still no word) from you

AJ: Empty spaces
Fill me up with holes
Distant faces
With no place left to go

Without you
Within me
I can't find no re-est
Where I'm going
Is anybody's guess

NICK: I try
[with HOWIE back-up] To go on like I never knew you
[solo] I'm awake
[with HOWIE back-up] But my world is half asleep
[solo] I pray
[with HOWIE back-up] For this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
[solo] Incomplete

AJ: Voices tell me
I should carry on
But [with HOWIE backup] I am swimming
[solo] In an ocean all alone

AJ w/ HOWIE backup: Baby, [AJ solo] my baby
AJ: It's written on your fa-a-ace
You still wonder
If we made a big mista-ake

NICK lead with ALL: I try
To go on like I never knew you
I'm awake
But my world is half asleep
I pray
For this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
Incomplete

AJ: I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
AJ lead w/ ALL: I don't wanna make you face this world alone
ALL: I wanna let you go
AJ (on 'you'): Oh no-o-o-o-o-o

NICK lead with ALL: I try to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake
But my world is half asleep
I pray
For this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
NICK: Incomplete

[Piano solo]

Looking at your picture
From when we first met
You gave me a smile that
I could never forget
And nothing I could do
Could protect me from you that night

Wrapped around your finger
Always on my mind
The days would blend
'Cause we stayed up all night
Yeah you and I were everything, everything to me

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say
I would do it all again
Just want you to know

All the doors are closing
I'm trying to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say
I would do it all again
Just want you to know

That since I lost you I lost myself
But I can't fake it there's no one else

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say
I would do it all again
Just want you to know

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through
And then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe
That there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say
I would do it all again
Just want you to know

Take what you need
'Cause I can't hold my breath
Say what you feel
'Cause I got nothing left

I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it if it's wrong or right

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful
It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway

Don't change a thing
You're perfect as you are
Time has a way
Time is all I've got

If my heart should shatter watching you
That'd be one less thing I have to prove

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful
It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway

Heaven will be waiting
When I fall into your open arms
I'll believe you're find me there
You'll find me there

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful
It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway

And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful
It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway

Only one life to live in
Trying our best to make it through
Ooh we're trying our best to make it through
There's no mistakes, just lessons
It's all about what they mean to you

No matter what you've gone through (you can)
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
'Cause we have to
Accept the wrongs and try to make them right
It may be hard to
Look at yourself and see the truth
Baby you've got to
Realize it takes time to become you
So just get to

Moving on
We're moving on
We're moving on
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Moving on

Well take what you've been given
Gotta take a chance while we can
To find our place in our world
We gotta understand the plan (understand)

Oh just put the past behind you
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
'Cause we have to
Accept the wrongs and try to make them right
Oh you can
Look at yourself and see the truth
Oh oh realize it takes time to become you
Oh just get to..

Moving on
We're moving on
We're moving on
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Moving on

We know we've changed
But we're still the same
Getting closer to what we're supposed to be
As life goes on you'll have your time
'Cause everything's meant to be

Moving on, moving on
Everything must change
While we're still the same

Moving on
We're moving on
We're moving on
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on
Moving on

Moving on, moving on
Everything must change
While we're still the same

How can I begin to
Tell you what you do to
Me every time I hear ya
More willing I wanna see ya

I know that there's no use in
Tryin' to explain my confusion
But still I'm not complainin'
'Bout my situation

Let's not talk about a possible ending

The very first time that I
Was lookin' to be your fella
I found my inspiration
Hiding in your expression
And so I put myself forward
For your consideration

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know, I'm so in love with you
I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
Every time I'm near my beautiful woman

And so we put the top down
To take you drivin' downtown
I guess we'll know just what to do
When you're lookin' to fool around

It's too late to stop me
I know we're gonna get down

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know, I'm so in love with you
I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
Every time I'm near my beautiful woman

My beautiful woman
My beautiful woman
My beautiful woman

B is for beautiful as the sunshine
E tells me everything is feelin' alright
A goes to U and me swingin' in time
T is two, I want you
You've got me actin' like a fool

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know, I'm so in love with you
I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
Every time I'm near my beautiful woman

Let's not talk about a possible ending
Let's not think about it every day
And I know, I'm so in love with you
I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
Every time I'm near my beautiful woman

My beautiful woman
My beautiful woman
My beautiful woman

The things we did, the things we said
Keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you

Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never separate us
Deep inside I know you are

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

I walk alone these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone

Somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

Never gone from me
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life
Never gone

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way

Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are

Jodie was a long way from home
She can make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of her landscape
Riding her bike through alphabet city

She likes to party in the backseat
Under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow
Taking bets 'till the sun won't rise
She said "what good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile
And make you want to believe

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

Jodie likes to shoplift in stores
Right alongside the rich and famous
Get in elevators, press emergency stop
And make love on the floor until the camera made us

And no woman in the world
Ever made me feel like my heart's on fire
Where she walked I followed
When she laughed I cried
"What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
And I was wrapped around her finger
And I began to believe

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la-a-a
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la-a-a

Tell me what you want from me
I've got everything you need
It's getting hard for me to breathe
Let me be your guarantee

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

That the consequences of your actions really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction taking you day by day
She says nothing's forever in this crazy world
Still I'm falling in love with the right now poster girl

Right now, right now
Right now, oh
Poster girl
Poster girl, yeah
Come on, come on

You washed away my sad face
And flooded all my empty space
You take away life's heartbreak
And I know with you it's gonna be okay

You're rushing through me
(Like water from heaven)
I feel you moving through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
(I know that there must be something real)
So alive (you're the air in my atmosphere)
Finally I feel complete
'Cause you have rushed over me yeah

There's no more blindness
'Cause when I cry, I'm smiling
You kept me from dying
And I know with you I'll keep on living

You're rushing through me
(Like water from heaven)
I feel you moving through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
(I know that there must be something real)
So alive (you're the air in my atmosphere)
Finally I feel complete
'Cause you have rushed over me yeah

It's not enough (not enough)
Just holding on (holding on)
Before I met you I was lost
Now that you're standing here
I don't want you to go
'Cause I know that your love keeps me alive

You're rushing through me
(Like water from heaven)
I feel you moving through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
(I know that there must be something real)
So alive (you're the air in my atmosphere)
Finally I feel complete
'Cause you have rushed over me yeah

You're rushing through me
(Like water from heaven)
I feel you moving through me
(Like sand in the sea)
And now I feel so alive
(I know that there must be something real)
So alive (you're the air in my atmosphere)
Finally I feel complete
'Cause you have rushed over me yeah

I know I promised you forever
Is there no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm
Is raging outside, you're my safest place to hide

Can you see me, here I am
I need you like I needed you then
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide

You see colors no one else can see
And every breath you hear a symphony
You understand me like nobody can
I feel my soul unfolding like a flower blooming

When this whole world gets too crazy
And there's no where left to go
I know you'll give me sanctuary
You're the only truth at all
You're the road back home

Can you see me, here I am
Standing here where I've always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
My safest place to hide

I know I promised you forever
There's no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm
Is raging outside, you're my safest place to hide

Can you see me, here I am
Standing here where I've always been
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
You're my safest place to hide
You're my safest place to hide

"When you come back I won't be here"
She said and gently pulled me near
If you wanna talk you can call
And no it's not your fault
I just smiled and said "let go of me"
Now there's something I just gotta know
"Did someone else steal my part?"
She said it's not my fault

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the light to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too

I was drifting in between
Like I was on the outside looking in
In my dreams you are still here
Like you've always been

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the light to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too

I gave myself away completely
But you just couldn't see me
While I was sleeping in your bed
'Cause someone else was on your mind, in your head

When I came back, she wasn't there
Just a note left on the stairs
"If you wanna talk give me a call..."

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the light to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the light to come true
'Cause it's all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn't want you too

This one's for the mothers
Who have lost a child
And this one's for the gypsies
Who've left their hearts behind
This is for the strangers sleeping in my heart
Who take what they want
And leave while it's still dark

No one is glamorously lonely
All by themselves (all by themselves)

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (the unloved)

This one's for the bridesmaid, never the bride
This one's for the dreamers, who lock their faith inside
And this is for the widows who think there's only one
For the dying fathers who never told their sons

No one is glamorously lonely
Follow your heart (follow your heart)

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (the unloved)

Oh, tomorrow the sun will shine
And dry the tears in your eyes
Suddenly love comes alive
(Suddenly love comes alive)

For one last cry
Just one last cry

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind

This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow
Will help me leave the past behind
It's a song for the unloved (the unloved)

Hey hey hey

The sun is over the city
But it's an orange day
There is reason for looking up
But I'm feeling down
You see I've got to catch a plane
But won't buy a ticket
'Cause it's hard to just stop
When you're spinning around

It's a weird world
Don't you know it
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it

Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
Just stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it wear out
Your love

It's a weird world, yeah

Sent a message to a GI in the desert
Said thank you man for bringing another dawn
Back here is her and me
And we're having our first baby
He's out there taking 'em on

It's a weird world
And I know you know it
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it

Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
Just stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it wear out
Your love

I'm closing my eyes but I'm starting to see
While he's looking at you, she's looking at me
The only thing it does is just keep me away from you
Sure part of this place would cheer if I died
But don't let them take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile

Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
Just stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
For you to decide it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it wear out
Your love

(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
(Hey hey hey)
It's a weird world
Don't you know it
Hey hey hey

Can I have a talk with you
Let me walk you home from school
I've got something that's on my mind
And I don't know just what to do
See girl I've been watching you
And I think I'm a little sprung
Can't seem to get my mind off you
Keep thinking about you
I think that you're the one

So won't you just listen to me
There's so much I wanna say
Girl I've got this love for you
You can have it your way everyday
I will treat you right I will never lie
Girl I promise to you that I won't make you cry
Do the same for me
And tell me you're feeling
The way that I do

Girl give me your love
I'll give you my heart
Let's put them together
See what we can start
I wanna be with you
Do you wanna be with me
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

All those people they talk about
It's only a puppy love
They say our feelings cannot be real
But we know the deal
I just don't know what to do
'Cause girl I'm so crazy about you
And I know it's not wrong
Because I wanna be everything that you need

I'm gonna walk you home from school
I wanna help with your homework, homework
And when you need a kiss or two I'll be the one
Girl if you say yes to me
I promise that I will not,
I will never leave I'll be right by you side
Girl my love for you I cannot hide

Girl give me your love
I'll give you my heart
Let's put them together
See what we can start
I wanna be with you
Do you wanna be with me
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

Girl I wanna be
Everything that you need
Cause I aim to please
And it's like that
And that's the way it is
My hearts on the line
Please don't say goodbye

Girl give me your love
I'll give you my heart
Let's put them together
See what we can start
I wanna be with you
Do you wanna be with me
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you

Quit Playing Games (With My Heart) (Video Version)

[For this song 'normal' will mean not echoing. Also, there are often indistinguishable back-up echoes, not all have been noted, as it is impossible to figure out. This version has a few singer differences from the album version]

BRIAN: Baby, oh oh

When I first met you my life turned a page
Chapter one was how true love was made
You taught me with your kiss
Things about romance I missed

You knew everything from A to Z
What pleases you and what pleases me
Girl when you touched me
I began to understand

You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
You, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love

Each time I hold you I find something new
'Cause I know what I love about you, baby
Girl I discover you bring out the lover in me, yeah
You're like a fire that burns in my soul
Like a volcano, I'm ready to blow
'Cause every time I look at you
I feel love I can't explain, oh

You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
You, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love

I hear what your heart is saying to me
I see the picture so clearly
I'm thirsty for the knowledge
True love brings when you're near me

You wrote the book on love
'Cause girl I just can't get enough of you
Oh you wrote the book
Oh you, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
Oh you babe, you wrote the book

You, you wrote the book on love
And I wanna read every word
So I know everything about you
You, you wrote the book on love
Girl I just can't get enough of your love
I know you wrote the book on love

Oh if someone writes a song with a simple rhyme
Just a song where is feeling show
And if someone feels the same about the simple song
Oh sometimes you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness and sadness
But it also, also heals your soul

Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power
To move any mountain

If someone plays piano with some simple chords
So melodic and endearing, too
Oh if someone plays guitar with the old piano
And maybe you can hear them sing
Music gives you Happiness and Sadness
But it also
It also heals your soul

Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power
To move any mountain

Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music heal your soul

Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power
To move any mountain
Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power
To move any mountain

BRIAN (echoing): Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
And girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say

HOWIE (echoing): I can't imagine
Life without your love
And even forever
Don't seem like long enough

Everytime I try to rise above

AJ: And maybe I'm a drifter
Or maybe not
'Cause I have known the safety
Of floating freely in your arms

What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ah what's going on

Ja Rule: What's goin' on in a world filled with pain.
Where's the love for which we pray.
What's goin' on when our children can't play,
Homeless can't eat, there's got to be a better way.
What's goin' on when we politically blind,
Can't see the signs of endangered times.
What's goin' on

Nelly Furtado: Ah tell me,
What's goin' on in the world today.
I'd rather be dead than turn my head away.

Our hands in the air and cry for a switch

Nelly: What's going on 'cross the seas,
Every minute a child dies by this disease.
In record numbers indeed.
Got mommas crying out please my baby hold on.
My child ain't done nothin' wrong.
Still I want to holla.
Ask them why they don't both'a.
Oh no, oh no.
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

Nas: I can feel what was bothering Marvin.
Why his words forever remain.
Dealing with these modern day problems,
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents.
Too many infected.
Too many lives diminishing.
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks and Whites, Latinos and Asians.
Pray together. Let's fight. We better unite.
As genocide chemical war.
And the rich and the poor.
Know that God delivers a cure.

Eve: It's a shame our reality is devastating.
People praying for a cure.
Dyin' while they waiting.
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it.
All the kids with dreams won't get the chance to chase it.
Makes me sad. Think about the lives they would've had.
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads.
How can we sit back and not try to make it right.
We gotta come together. We gotta fight for life.

Fred Durst: Somebody tell me what's goin' on
(What's goin' on).
We got human beings using humans for a bomb.
But everybody wanna live, don't nobody really want to die.
You feeling me right. I can't be watching people die.
And watching people cry.
Let me break it down for a minute.
If there's enough room here for you and for me.
There's plenty of room for some humanity.

All: What's goin' on.
Hey, what's goin' on.
Somebody tell me, what's goin' on,
I'll tell you what's goin' on
