Pontos de Vista

Letra

I was living my life
Like a long lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into the deep end
I wasn't missing nothing
That was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it

He walked into the late bar just in time
To hand me my excuses
With a chance in rhyme
Shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were
The story of my life

Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
I 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 was hard for singing
No regrets, I took the step and I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Driving down a street that's only going one way
Everyday starts feeling like a month of Mondays
Guess you know, I still got something left to prove
I know what it takes to get back to you

Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
I 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 was hard for singing
No regrets, I took the step and Im still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Remember those nights staring out at
The last broken town without feeling the same
Making up words to our favourite songs
Laughing 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

Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
I 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 was hard for singing
No regrets, I took the step and I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Sunday morning

Letra

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning i don't know
'cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As i dream about movies
They won't make of me when i'm dead

With an ironclad fist i wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that i long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that i need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses
For tonite i sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well i'm so far away
That each step that i take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes i'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still i run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite i sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But i laughed so hard i think i died

When you close your eyes
Know i'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite i won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean i'm not lonely i've got nothing to prove
For it's you that i'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite i sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Letra

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But, babe, that's just me

And I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you, always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say good bye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I wish I was him, cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time and

I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day
Always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well there ain't no luck in this loaded dice
But babe if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines and

I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there, forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you, always
Always
