If I asked for forgiveness, Does it mean that I did it? Is it really that bad; am I that hard to live with? If I told you I loved you, Would you hold it against me? I’ve seen every shade of gray I can’t wait another day For summer to come I miss the sun It’s something that I try to overcome If I walked to the corner, Would you put up a red light? Would you hold it against me, if it didn’t turn out right? Please don’t make me say it I would never regret it If I told you I loved you, would you let me forget it? I’ve seen every shade of gray The clouds just seem to come my way Come rain or come shine I miss the sun Everyday is someday will come Don’t you know that I miss the sun? Lie and wait for summer to come I know that you’re busy Don’t hold it against me If I told you I loved you, would you hold it against me? I miss the sun Everyday is someday will come Don’t you know that I miss the sun? I miss my son If I told you I loved you, Would you hold it against me?

Everyone’s waiting to see if you’re coming outta your shell for a while Cupid and Casper were asking about ya You used to be so wild I know how it is you get drunk at a party It seems there’s someone you should call Then the cycle begins; you decide to stay in You don’t talk to anyone at all Never know what you might find You never know what you leave behind This is the beginning of a great adventure Now’s not the time, not the time to step aside I’ve had my share of missteps and delusions Head-trips and tales that are tall Every conclusion is better than never Happily, after all You dig yourself out of the tangled up barbed wire Fightin’ over every wall And then you get over; you pull yourself up You pull yourself up by the straps of your overalls Never know what you might find You never know what you leave behind This is the beginning of a great adventure Leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you This is the beginning of a great adventure Now’s not the time, not the time to leave it behind I’m right behind you Behind you all the way And when I find you We’ll be on our way Everyone’s waiting to see if you’re coming Out of your shell for a while Cupid and Casper were asking about you You used to be so wild And this is the beginning of a great adventure Now’s not the time, not the time to step aside This is the beginning of a great adventure Now’s not the time, not the time to leave it behind Do do do do do do do do do do do do Leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you (Do do do do do do do do do do do do) I’m leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you (Do do do do do do do do do do do do) Leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you, leavin’ with you

Here we go Where we’re going, I don’t know Like an unholy ghost Flyin’ much too low I’ll follow you down to hell my friend No matter where you go I’ve followed every word that you said No matter where you go I wish I was somewhere I wish I was anywhere If I could be anywhere I’d wish I were with you Well here we go A shovel plowin’ through the snow Takin’ it blow by blow Is this some kind of joke? I’ll fall for you when you fall through the cracks No matter where you go I’ll track you down and follow your tracks No matter where you go I wish I was somewhere I wish I was anywhere If I could be anywhere I wish I were with you I wish I were with you Here we go Carrying on with the show And what I miss the most We’re heading for the coast You know I wish I was somewhere I wish I was anywhere Now that you’re gone I wish I were with you
