Everything You've Got Songtext

Everything You've Got

Somebody called me last week, said they've seen you, you
Were back in town - and so I went downtown, I walked and
Walked and looked and looked, and didn't see you
Anywhere - but this is a big city with lots of places to hide,
And I want you to know that I still care and can still
Come home...

I think we grow up in a fairytale
Skies were the limit, well how could we fail
You'd go to college I would sing my songs
You'd call me up collect and say
"hey, how you gettin' on"
How much you missed me
And you promised me it wouldn't take long

I remember the day when it all turned round
You came to stay and you where different somehow
You had a secret, it was in your eyes
I couldn't reach you, baby
No matter how I tried
I watched you slip away without a sound

And the street was always there
It was just waiting
It's so much stronger than we thought
And the wollf don't lie with the lamb
Unless he wants something
He wants everything you've got

And it's real hard for me to think of you that way - as
A junkie - down there with all the other junkies.
I remember walking down the strees staring straight
Ahead so we wouldn't see the people sleeping on the streets
- but now it seems I'm looking down there all the time -
Looking for you...

I should have seen just what was heppening here
The way you looked it should have been so clear
I always thought you were the strong one
I always thought I was the fragil one
When you were calling my name
I could not hear

And the street was always there
It was just waiting
It's so much stronger than we thought
And the wollf don't lie with the lamb
Unless he wants something
He wants everything you've got

And you hear stories about people comming back - cleaning
Up - so maybe it does happen. And until they call me down
To identify you some time - some night - I guess I'll just
Believe that you might be around the next corner, waiting
For me. And I'll keep looking...
