♫ Scars





You're setting off,
It's time to go, the engine's running
My mind is lost,
We always knew this day was coming
And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be

We grow apart,
I watch you on the red horizon
Your lion's heart
Will protect you under stormy skies
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears

And as soon as I can hold you once again
I won't let go of you, I swear

We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore

Your hands are cold,
Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
This fragile heart,
So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
But you're miles away,

You're breaking up, you're on your own
It's hard to take,
I need an hour just to say hello
But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me

And for all the pennies in your pocket
We barely get a second just to speak

We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
We can't leave us behind anymore

We'll have to hurt for now
But next time there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore

Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah yeah

We lived through scars this time
But I've made up my mind
No, we can't leave us behind anymore
We'll have to hurt for now
But next time, there's no doubt
'Cause I can't go without you anymore
No I can't go without you anymore...

♫ Both Sides Now






Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way,

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone,
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way,

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds at all...

Moons and Junes and ferries wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way,

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go,
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away,

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow,
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all...

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall,
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall,
I really don't know life at all...
