Burning all bridges
Leaving nothing behind
Never was my way
Never even crossed my mind
But all the crossings
They were burned down too
They were blown away
Long before I knew

With every wish here comes a curse
It’s so easy to fall from bad to worse

When everything you know
Starts to come in different shapes
When all the colors turn to gray
One thought keeps coming back
Shouting to your ear
Saying 'There's no easy
Way out of here'...

I might be running on empty
But I ain't looking back
I keep driving with
A bag of hope sittin’ in my lap
I know all the questions
I know you know them too
But the burden of the answers
I’m leaving now to you

With every wish here comes the curse
It's so easy to fall from bad to worse

When everything you know
Starts to come in different shapes
When all the colors turn to gray
One thought keeps coming back
Shouting to your ear
Saying 'There's no easy
Way out of here'...

We had our six-packs cooled
We were dressed up for party
Cruisin' 'round the town
For hours before it started
Having fun in hot
And sticky Summer night
Waiting for the moment
When someone shuts the lights
Waiting for that firs riff
To blow out of all the amps

We had good times rockin'
Good times rockin'
We had good times rockin'
And I promise you we'll have it again

Everywhere you look
You see unfamiliar faces
But sooner than you know
They all become your best friends
Rockin' and rollin'
In the party lights
Sharing laughs and tears
'Till the middle of the night
You'll never meet again
But you won't forget the times

Of the good times rockin'
Good times rockin'
We had good times rockin'
And I promise you we'll have it again

We had good times rockin'
Good times rockin'
We had good times rockin'
And I promise you we'll have it again

I can drive
A thousand miles from home
Through the desert sands
And cross the rocky grounds
I can walk
Hell I can even fly
From coast to coast
For days and nights
And I’ll be back again

Back in your arms
There’s an end to every road I roam
Back in your arms
That sacred place to rest my soul
Back in your arms

Make a wish
And I will make it true
Gimme shelter
And I will cover you
Through the good times
And bad times what may come
Through fears and doubts
To overcome
I’ll find my way back home

Back in your arms
There’s an end to every road I roam
Back in your arms
That sacred place to rest my soul
Back in your arms

Every sundown
Every sunrise I have seen
Every laughter, every joke and every dream
Every fight we buried
Somewhere in the past
Every night
You laid your head
Upon my chest
Has helped me make it through
And led me right to you

Back in your arms
There’s an end to every road I roam
Back in your arms
That sacred place to rest my soul
Back in your arms
The piece of Earth to call my home
Back in your arms

The Sun is coming down and goes to sleep
I got better plans for you and me
Gonna raise a glass or two
Gonna sing our songs
Gonna stay awake till the night is gone

Smiling faces, smiling hearts and souls
Tell me brother, can we ask for more?
Summer night is calling
Promising some fun
We ain’t gonna stop until we’re done

Bridge:
I don’t want this night to end
As long as I’m with you my friends
I don’t want to miss that moment
When you make me young again

Chorus:
I don’t wanna go home
Not tonight I said
I don’t wanna home
Don't want this night to end
No I don’t wanna home

The girl in white is filling up my glass
Ain’t she the best?
My buddy Annie is rolling up my smokes
She’s a heart and soul
Fireworks are hailing
Over peaceful bay tonight
Turn up the music
Everything would be alright
Everything would be alright
Everything would be alright
Everything would be alright...

Bridge 2:
The night is filled with stars but they don’t mean a thing
If you ain’t got someone to share that beauty with
But we have each other and we’ll always stay
Together even when
This night starts to fade

Chorus:
I don’t wanna go home
Not tonight I said
I don’t wanna go home
Don't want this night to end
No I don’t wanna go home

If I pick up the phone
Just to hear your voice
After a long, long time
If you need a friend
Or a helping hand
I'm right by your side

When the song is right
And you send me a smile
With a spark in your eye
What could we do to keep the memories true and alive

/Ref./
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share

/Verse 2/
All the good friends you had
All the good friends you lost
Along the way
Every laughter and smile
All the tears you have cried
Were not in vain

They were bricks in the wall
They were what you're made of
Your roots in the ground
What should we do
With the feelings we lost and found

/Bridge/
Nothing is forgotten, all the scars remain
But lessons took for granted turn to fail
Walk with me again out in the summer rain
Just to see what's worth remembering
Just to see what's worth remembering
Yeah, you’ll see what's worth remembering
And what is worth
Of letting go
To rest in peace

/Ref./
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share

/Ref.../
Keep me in the moment won't you
Keep me in the moment darlin'
Keep me in the memories we share

Many waters have gone
Under the bridge
But still it makes me wonder
How does it feel
To put on a mask
And embrace it like your own face

Many Moons have passed
Since I saw you
Last time in your own skin
Tell me what it takes
For one to decide
To become someone else

(Ref.)
You never said it’s over
Yet never gave me a ticket for this ride
You never said it’s over
Now I’m stranded here on the shores
Of what used to be our life

It feels like dancing on wire
Expecting the fall
With each and every move you make
Like standing on the crossroad
Without a clue
Where to go, which road to take

Now I’m setting up a campfire
And use it as a sign
As your ship is passing me by
Can’t you see the flame
Calling out your name
Burning all through the night

(Ref.)
You never said it’s over...

(Bridge)
Well I may stay a little longer
Stick around for a while
If you don’t keep me spinning in the dark
It takes two for love
But only one to do wrong
God knows I wanna make this right

(Ref.)
You never said it’s over...

(Ref.)
You never said it’s over
You never gave me a ticket for this ride
You never said it’s over
You just left me stranded on the shores
Of what used to be our life

In every move there is so much
The heat is on with every single touch
And every look I feel you send my way
It turns me on and burns me up more than I could say

Your presence builds my world so high
It turns all senses which don't make me shy
Deep are my thoughts, my feelings and hopes
You'd never tie me up in the chains or the ropes

Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Right now, a-ha

I'd say you give me what I need the most
All I have missed when I've been far and lost
When I'm week you always make me smile
You take away all those bad days by a mile

Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Right now, a-ha

And in my nights you keep me safe like I'm a child
Your soft sweet whispers make my blood run so wild

I may pretend I'm tough and cool
I'm not trying to hurt you baby I am just a fool
Don't ever leave, it would be a crying shame
I don't know what we got here but I like this game

Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Uh-huh uh-huh-huh
That's the way I feel about you
Yes I do, a-ha

Lyrics by Emina Manenti & Vinko Baković
Music by Vinko Baković
Arrangement by Seven and Counting

If I could turn back the clock
I promise you I would
To undo the things I’ve done
Once and for good
To turn the words I said
Into the kiss

If I could make you smile
The way you used to smile
And to share with me
Again your ups and downs
You’ll get the best of me
If you let me in

If I could hold you
If I could brighten up your days
If I could cover you
When rains come your way
If I could bring you back your dreams
And make them all come true
Like the air you are breathing
I promise you
I would

If I could hold you
If I could brighten up your days
If I could cover you from blues
What may come your way
If I could bring you back your dreams
And make them all come true
Like the air you are breathing
I promise you
I would

To rebuild the trust
In us from deep inside
You can rest assured
I’d swallow all my pride
Well, for what it’s worth
I would

I remember you looking at me
From up there, from the top of your hill
Always straight, always proud, always strong
Always righteous and never wrong


Too fucked up to get close
Too scared to show some warmth


This time I'm here
But I ain't climbin' up that hill
I'm just standing still
To show you I'm real
And I'm waiting
If you'd show me some guts
And show me some trust
Or tonight I'm drawing the line
This time...


I remember walking by your side
And lessons of wrong and right
'Twas like quick look into your heart
Fast like shadow fading in the dark


Too much of the same kind
Too different to survive
We slipped and fell somewhere along the line


This time I'm here
With my heart open wide
I'm standing still
With nothing to hide
And I came here
To shut down the past
And save what is left
After fights of our boiling blood


Make peace with yourself and believe
All the promises I gave I'll keep
I was raised to become who I am
No one takes the credit, no one takes the blame


So if you're looking to get hurt
Don't come knockin' at my door
This war is over I'm not fightin' anymore


This time I'm here
But I ain't climbin' up your hill
I'm just standing still
To show you I'm real
And I'm waiting
If you'd show me some guts
If you'd give me some trust
'Cause tonight I'm drawing the line
This time...

Put on your best dress baby
Let 'em see you glow
And then for second maybe
As you take the floor
Clocks might stop spinning 'round
Like a nightbird blinded by the sun

And your hand will touch me
And take me out of crowd
Followed by the whispers
Envy all around

And I’ll dive in your smile
And I’ll hold your beauty in my arms
And I'll keep dancing

Dancing with my dream
I'm dancing off awakenings
Dancing with my dream
Where no one else can't get in
Dancing with my dream
Where two of us won't give in
I'm dancing with my dream

With every fall I'm rising
Guided by your light
All those friendly faces
I'm keeping out of sight
Where you stand I belong
And if I take that road I can't go wrong

You'll be there to reach me
And lift me off the ground
And take me to the dance floor
Where music's up so loud
And I'll dive in your smile
Again I'll hold your beauty in my arms
And I'll keep dancing

Dancing with my dream
I'm dancing off awakenings
Dancing with my dream
Where no one else can't get in
Dancing with my dream
Where two of us won't give in
I'm dancing with my dream

You can bolt your doors
And close your windows
And You’ll still be afraid
Of the thoughts that night is pulling down
On you and makes you scared
Take a look
I’ll be there
For you

You can hate your empty walls
And you can hate your empty bed
And wrinkles ‘round your tired eyes
Make you feel so old and sad
Take a look
I’ll be there
For you

I’ll be there
To wipe away your tears
To make ‘em disappear
And to make you feel so wanted
Again

When your world’s a wreck
And a thousand pounds weight
Is sitting on your back
And all the faces look the same
They’re faces without the names
Take a look
I’ll be there
For you


I’ll be there
To build around your heart
A shelter and with a spark
Light up a fire to keep you warm
Each night

I’ll be there
To fight away your fears
To make ‘em disappear
I’ll be there just like I told you
‘Cause I love you

Tonight across the town I'll take a ride
Tonight I won't stop and I won't hide
I’ll check out all the places I will never see again
I'll kick some asses and I’ll shake some hands

 

Tonight I won't break and cry a tear
Tonight, smile is all I’ll give
Nothing's unresolved, nothing’s left behind
And I'll never try to turn back time

 

Tonight I'm on my way tonight I'll make it right
From the dark end of the street into the light
And tonight I'm on the run
Heading there where I belong
From the dark end of the street I'm movin' on

 

Tonight before I kiss you one last time
Tonight before I turn to wave goodbye
Don't give up on me just come and treat me right
All I need is a friend and a hug so tight

 

Tonight my bags are packed, the engine roars
Tonight as I walk out through that door
Wherever I may be, wherever I may go
I'll keep a part of you in my soul

 

Tonight I'm on my way tonight I'll make it right
From the dark end of the street into the light
And tonight I'm on the run
Heading there where I belong
From the dark end of the street I'm movin' on

When you wake up in the mornin' every
Color of your life is bright
And you wanna jump and dance
With everybody in your sight
It makes you feel so fine
It makes you feel like you rule the time
It makes you...
It makes you feel so young

 

When the world is crashing you just
Lay down in the field and smile
With clouds and grass and flowers
And all those funny butterflies
It makes you feel so fine
Like you could push the Earth and spin it
The other way around
It makes you...
It makes you feel so young

 

Just a moment with you baby
And all my dreams came true
I want to jump and scream and in between
I want to sing this song just for you

 

When I see you coming to me all I wanna
do is dance
And I promise every day
I'll build for us a new romance
You make me feel so fine
Girl you give me chills all over the spine
You make me...
You make me feel so young

 

You make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so fine
Girl you give me chills all over the spine
You make me feel so young
