You think that I cant live without your love
Youll see,
You think I cant go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
Youll see
Somehow, some way
You think that I can never laugh again
Youll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all youve done
Ill never find my way back home,
Youll see
Somehow, someday
Chorus:
All by myself
I dont need anyone at all
I know Ill survive
I know Ill stay alive,
All on my own
I dont need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
Youll see
You think that you are strong, but you are weak
Youll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
Youll see, somehow, someday
Chorus2:
All by myself
I dont need anyone at all
I know Ill survive
I know Ill stay alive,
Ill stand on my own
I wont need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
Youll see
[ Chorus (first time without background vocals): ]
This used to be my
playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
[ Long and movie versions only: ]
[ chorus ]
Live and learn
Well the years they flew
And we never knew
We were foolish then
We would never tire
And that little fire
Is still alive in me
It will never go away
Can't say goodbye to yesterday
(can't say goodbye)
[ chorus ]
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday (the dream)
Those are words I'll never
say (I'll never say)
This used to be my
playground (used to be)
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world
could dare destroy
[ Short and movie versions only: ]
This used to be our
playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
[ Movie version only: ]
This used to be our
playground (used to be)
This used to be our great escape
This used to be the place we ran to
This used to be our secret hiding place
This used to be our
playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
Chorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
(chorus)
2nd Chorus:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss that pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry that tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my
Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on....
Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,
Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
Behind closes eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of it's creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,
Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,
Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,
Even though you can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.
masih tertinggal bayanganmu
yang telah membekas di relung hatiku
hujan tanpa henti seolah bertanda
cinta tak disini lagi kau telah berpaling
biarkan aku menjaga perasaan ini
menjaga segenap cinta yang telah kau beri
engkau pergi aku takkan pergi
kau menjauh aku takkan jauh
sebenarnya diriku masih mengharapkanmu
ooh oooh
masih adakah cahaya rindumu
yang dulu selalu cerminkan hatimu
aku takkan bisa menghapus dirimu
meskipun kulihat kau kini diseberang sana
andai akhirnya kau tak juga kembali
aku tetap sendiri menjaga hati
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply
that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
it's not so bad and
I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last
and I'm soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and
I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I'll tell you that
But if I didn't say it
Well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "It's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
As I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Melayang aku
Kau buatku terbang tinggi di awan
Terhanyut aku setiap kudengar syair cintamu
Nyatakah semua yang terjadi pada setiap hariku
Ku terhanyut
Saat kau berjanji
Dan kau (ku) wujudkan mimpi yang terindah
di setiap malam
Agar aku (kau pun) tersenyum
Terjaga dari tidurku (tidurmu)
Dan kau jadikanku ratu di kerajaan cintamu
Agar aku pun bahagia
Duduk berdua denganmu selamanya
Ooh.. selamanya kau rasakan indah hari
dengan kasihku
Selalu tersenyum dirimu oh kasih cintaku
Selalu selamanya
So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place
[Chorus:]
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
[chorus]
Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me
Darryl: I normally wouldn't have addressed another Wallflowers song so soon, but this song is so poignant and so often misinterpreted that I felt I needed to bring it to the forefront. "One Headlight" tells the story of a man who cared enough for a woman to help her end her life. She suffered terribly from breast cancer - thus the title - and decided she didn't want to endure the terrible pain of a slow death. Her friend, the singer, helped her end it and now has to face the law, the lawyers, and the media. It makes me ask the question, who should I pity more?
Jerry: Oh dear GOD! First of all you have to bring up another Dylan song! Not only that, you had to go all "Nancy Reagan" on it! Breast cancer indeed... This song is all about the effects, the questions, and the rebound from one of the most heinous attacks on the US (pre 9/11), Pearl Harbor. The friend he lost was not a person but the entire US. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US had changed. We were still free and alive, but we were hurt, broken, pissed as hell, and dedicated to making things right again. The phrase "We can drive it home with one headlight" symbolizes the feeling of us being hurt, but still having the drive to make it.
The tip-offs here are "sun comin' up" and "the funeral at dawn." The rising sun is an obvious depiction of the Japanese flag. The attack on Pearl Harbor happened in the early morning about dawn where many people lost their lives in their final resting places. Within a few hours, the damage had been done and the US had joined the war, thus changing our country for forever.
Darryl: DUDE! Are you smoking crack?!
Jerry: Hey, I'm not that far off!
Darryl: You don't have to go all Ultra-Patriotic on me just to try to convince me you're not a communist. I'm afraid to hear your interpretation of the last verse. Or is this from the perspective of a patriotic American communist?
I think anyone that listens to this song while sober will recognize that the death is personal, not national. The "maze of ugliness and greed" is not an attack on American capitalism, but an attack on the scavengers surrounding the judicial process. The final verse is not about burning a flag but about the misery of prison life.
Jerry: Does that mean you've finished my interpretation for me?
Darryl: I would like to hear why the US is on the window ledge and just why you think America smells of cheap wine and cigarettes.
Jerry: Oh, well, I was just pulling your leg earlier. This song is actually about a guy who lost a testicle due to medical malpractice from an extremely hot female doctor. The only strange thing is he uses a female title for his testicle. Eeeewe.
Darryl: Okay, it's official. You've lost it. You've gone completely mental. I have some friends that have a lovely white, wrap-around vest for you.
Jerry: I HAVE LOST IT!?! I'm not the one making sense of a f#@^ing Dylan song!!! Seriously man, you need to take a step back and look at this. Ok. I want to see how on the ball you are.
Why doesn't he seem to know when he lost his only friend?
What is better than in the middle?
Why does it feel like independence day?
What's the deal with the county line bridge?
What's the deal with the cheap wine (mmmm wine...) and cigarettes?
My answers?
He has Alzheimer's Disease.
In the case of being in the middle of a "big is beautiful" orgy, anything is better than being in the middle!
Aliens just came to blow up Pearl Harbor just like they did the White House.
I have NO clue!
I'm thirsty.
Can you answer any of those?
Darryl: Okay, I'll take the bait.
His life is in a tailspin and he doesn't know which way's up.
Death is better than the painful, hopeless struggle to survive.
Death has made her free.
It's a METAPHOR! You know, like the light at the end of the tunnel?
He's sharing a cell with winos and smokers.
Satisfied?! If you think the song is nonsense, then that's fine. You have the right to be wrong.
Jerry: Jesus, you've just depressed the hell out of me. I see what you mean about this song. I can see plenty of validity of my Pearl Harbor interpretation, but I'll settle for yours.
At least you proved yourself to be a communist pig, quick to point the finger to keep the spotlight off of you. Out of the two of us, I seem to be the only patriotic one. You can thank me later for helping you out with your interpretation. I know you couldn't have done it without my extremely unorthodox methods.
Darryl: You're a peach.
Jerry - Summary: Normally after a comment like that, I'd end up making some inappropriate comment about "fuzzy and pink." However, I'll try to hold off this time and close this by saying that I'll have to go with Darryl's interpretation since I, for the life of me, couldn't come up with my own.
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
So needless to say I'm odds and ends
But that's me, stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two.
The things that you say
Is it live or just to play
My worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
A strangled smile fell from your face
It kills me that I hurt you this way
The worst part is that I didn't even know
Now there's a million reasons for you to go
But if you can find a reason to stay
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
Believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
She said "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"
She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt
That I'd be lost without you and never find myself
Let's hold onto each other above everything else
Start over, start over
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
and believe that I can change
I'll keep us together whatever it takes
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
HOOK
You wanna show the world but no one knows yours name yet
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn
CHORUS
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
da da da um da da
da da da ba um da da
You believe, and you doubt
You're confused, and got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew
HOOK
You wanna show the world but no one knows yours name yet
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn
CHORUS
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time
When you can't wait any longer (you can't wait)
But there's no end in time (when you need to find the strength)
It's your faith that makes you stronger (the only way we get there)
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time
To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love (Falling in love)
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love (Falling in love)
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time
