Saturday's Children

So what if we have to work hard
this time I think it is better
Than to be full of woe

they told me to paint the heavens
to save their lives with a smile
and agreement I work

If someone helps me through this thing
and I don't have to stand alone
my smile might seem true

but this life of mine makes your day
while the starlight brings glowing hope
I am alone this dawn

everyone else is excited
because the morn sends them their love
I will wait patiently

but you have shown me how to live
without chasing after my dreams
until space and time meet

while I think up telephone booths
sailing across the stars I can't
I don't seem to find orbit

lu li lu o yeah o yeah o yeah
lu li lu o yeah o yeah o yeah
because because because

we both are Saturday's children
and we lot of messy standards
are always cleaning house

I love you for what we will be
I expect we will change the world
by being together

and while time is not on our side
I will stop the world to touch you
because I can't fight our fate

smile for me again tonight
even if the loneliness hurts
tomorrow will shine new

If our lives are a heart's battle
then we will have to work harder
until I bring you home

don't you lose to disappointment
since you know I am beside you
i spill cliche "I'm yours"

in time you will understand that
everything I've said was truthful
I vow that I love you

I leave everything up to you
so tell me that you love me too
until the light of hearts

can remember why we were born
to do all the work they ignore
here's to us who keep on

so flash that fake smile once more
go ahead and lie before me
I know the truth you hide

I've been spilling it for years now
take me by the hand and show me
that the soul will win out

now that you find me standing here
take my hand in yours and we'll know
the purpose that drives us

pull me close to your man body
hold me there twenty seconds more
than people are cool with

let the songs of the lord above
shake them until they are confused
and we will be happy

forget everything before now
and pull me in close to your warmth
assured that this is us

I have prepared everything now
that we won't stopped by stupid
memories that hold us

i tell you now to reach out for
the reason we were bought to life
and I will hand you my heart

love me for now and for ever
if the world has taken a pill
to silence its own fears

trust that I can/will show the way
to make them understand that life
is more than they believe

let me touch the shell you reside
in hopes that the will will guide us
sparkling brighter than stars

So when your heart inside my chest
finds my own pounding beneath you
we can validate us
