Shades Apart Eyewitness Lyrics
1.Chasing Daydreams

Watch the night sky at my window
While the world is fast asleep
I stare into the unknown
I will have no fear as long as you're with me

I will catch your fall- i'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- i am unafraid
Catch me if i fall- in your arms i'm safe
Chasing after daydreams

World gone mad outside my window
Try to buy a higher life
I won't need another thing
I will go on dreaming if you stay with me

I will catch your fall- i'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- i am unafraid
Catch me if i fall- in your arms i'm safe
Chasing after daydreams

Let them tell secrets about us
Jaded words don't mean a thing
We are just beginning
There's no limit we will go on chasing dreams

I will catch your fall- i'll keep the world away
Chasing after daydreams- i am unafraid
Catch me if i fall- in your arms i'm safe
Chasing after daydreams


2.Edge Of The Century

Is anyone out there at all
Does anybody hear my call
I'm on a channel all my own
Tuned in from the twilight zone

My space-age juliet
She's the best invention yet
Whenever i see her again
All my lonely days will end

Now i search all over the universe

At the edge of the century
Countdown to infinity
Feels so lonely
Am i the only
One left on earth

Is anyone out there for real
Does anyone feel like i feel
Caught in a science fiction scene
That never made it to the screen

My space-age juliet
This stage is desolate
Before the first act was complete
The shooting starlet hit the street

Now i search all over the universe


3.Gabrielle

I saw her get off the bus- perfectly dangerous
Though i could tell- the trouble she'd spell- i fell for
gabrielle

She said "i can't stay long- there's somewhere else i belong"
(but) i made her smile- with my so-called style- i knew she'd
stay a while

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name

Moving so fast we crashed/ hours and weeks flash past
Running around/ uptown and down/ feet barely touched the ground

We could break all the rules/ but love is a game we'd lose
Never confess/ pretend you care less/ no one's to blame, i guess

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, i can't let you go
Gabrielle, in the end i know
I'll be the one who calls out your name

(bridge)
Gabrielle never cries- but something was in her eyes- whispering
words
Goodbye

Gabrielle shines on screen- and covers of magazines
On billboard-signs- nine stories high- once she was only mine

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you'll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, i can't let you go
Gabrielle, in the end i know
I'll be the one who calls out your name


4.Know It All

Funny how your head never leaves the clouds
When you're walking down the street
Stepping through the air so non-chalant
You try so hard to flaunt- the sight is such a comedy

I know it doesn't seem like such a long way down
But you're coming close to the edge
Anyway you think you'll never fall
The problems aren't so small - you try impressing all those
friends

It's written on your face- anyone can see
You are better than everybody
It's written on your face- anyone can see you really think you
know it all

Funny how the words tumble from your mouth
Your head's not even in the room
Lecturing to fill up every lull
To listen is too dull for such an empty skull, it's true

I know it must get very lonely at the top
Living high up on that hill
Anyway, i'm knocking at your door
You can't hide anymore
You're pretending to ignore me still

It's written on your face- anyone can see
You are better than everybody
It's written on your face- anyone can see you really think you
know it all


5.One Hundred Days

One hundred days in dessert sand
A drifter in no-man's land
Following someone else's caravan

I roam like a nomad since i left
Soaking in solitude
I can go without water but not without you

100 200 300 days since i saw you
100 200 more it's up to you to rescue me
100 200 300 days since i saw you
100 200
100 days one summer

Two hundred degrees i'm burning down
I don't sleep at all at night
I lie awake wondering if you're alright

Civilization rises up
Cities come into view
Mirages of places i once went with you

100 200 300 days since i saw you
100 200 more it's up to you to rescue me
100 200 300 days since i saw you
100 200
100 days one summer

Three hundred times put to the test
A sultan without a land
Looking for someone who could understand

One hundred days in dessert sand
It didn't go how i planned
I never knew missing you would hurt so bad


6.Second Chances

I will watch the sky- streetlights dimly lit
From far away i recognize- her silhouette with someone else
The temperature outside- thaws me and frees up the memory of
everything so far behind

Second chances - still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me

I count down the miles- headlights hypnotize
From far away i realize- how she once believed in me
I let it slip right by
Scared of facing insecurities i locked away so far inside

Second chances - still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me

I have memorized- all the things she said
And i rehearse it line by line- syllables of falling breath
The static on the line
Loneliness as open as the air between the highway and the sky

Second chances - still waiting
Second chance is still waiting there for me


7.Speed Of Light

Day is dawning- morning will begin
Twilight calling- does it have to end
Can we always be- stay forever running wild and free

Moon descending- tide comes in again
Never-ending- take a long taste of the sunshine
Can we always be- never stop moving

At the speed of light- try to hold on tight
At the speed of light - never stop
There is no end in sight

Waves are crashing- all around us now
Lights are flashing- don't let them burn out
Lying on the beach- nothing else matters- it's just you and me

Infinite summer- nothing has to end
We'll recover- breathe so deep we stay forever
Running wild and free- never stop moving

At the speed of light- try to hold on tight
At the speed of light - never stop
There is no end in sight

(bridge)
When the winter closes in- and the castles
Built of sand all wash away
We won't cry for yesterday or tomorrow
We will go on living for today

At the speed of light- try to hold on tight
At the speed of light - never stop
There is no end in sight


8.Sputnik

A satellite crashed down last night
On your front lawn
I came to see if you're alright
But you were not alone

I will be around - don't count me out
Take a look around - i'm counting down
Even though i feel like i'm in outer space
Watching over you

A cosmonaut crashed on my spot
On your front lawn
You played along, put your spacesuit on
And blasted off

I will be around - don't count me out
Take a look around - i'm counting down
Even though i feel like i'm in outer space
Watching over you

Another night another flight
I watch you go
If i don't tell you how i feel
You'll never know

I will be around - don't count me out
Take a look around - i'm counting down
Even though i feel like i'm in outer space
Watching over you


9.Starry Night

Eric's room gets too small one night
(he) takes his whole apartment outside
Down at his desk he sits and writes
Under a streetlight

One starry night just like tonight when these
City lights seem like candlelight
One starry night somewhere between midnight
And sunrise everything will be alright

On the steps someone plays guitar
Carrying into the dark
Far off a saxophone begins following along
Writing the same song

One starry night just like tonight when these
City lights seem like candlelight
One starry night somewhere between midnight
And sunrise everything will be alright

Angela hears the music play
Sees eric and suddenly the lights change
Dare she let her heart take this one chance?
She says "do you want to dance?"


10.Stranger By The Day

Snow is falling from the sky - in the middle of july
Sun was shining in my eyes again last night
Alarm goes off without a sound - the silence is so loud -
something isn't right

Footsteps echo down the hall - no one's there at all
Dial your number but your voice says "i'm not home"
Everything is inside out - i don't know what it's about

It keeps getting stranger by the day

Going for a walk outside - to see what i can find
No reflection(s) in the windows i pass by
It feels hotter in the shade - water's running up the drain -
something's going on

Conversations with a mime - stared at by the blind
Imagination must be working overtime
The world is upside down - everything is turned around

It keeps getting stranger by the day

By the time i reach your door - i can't take anymore
I just happened to be in your neighborhood
I'm the one who gets surprised - i don't believe my eyes - your
alibi's no good

Whatever happened to the world -whatever happened to the girl i
thought i knew
It just can't be true - i guess i'm losing you

It keeps getting stranger by the day


11.Time Machine

Trembling hands- drop the needle down
In seconds you're here- at the speed of sound
Skating a scratch on the vinyl- my heart is skipping a beat

I'm hooked again- following the tune
From the top of the shelf- to the end of the groove
Spinning around in a circle- further and further we go

In my time machine - taking a ride
One thousand years ago- when i made you mine
My time machine- the other side
One thousand years to go - will you still be mine

Stuck on the ground - stranded for too long
Wandering around- until i can find the song
All the way back from the station- you're playing inside my head

I know what it takes- to feel the rush again
Leaving this place- at 45 rpm
Traveling sound through the wire- higher and higher we go

In my time machine - taking a ride
One thousand years ago- when i made you mine
My time machine- the other side
One thousand years to go - will you still be mine

Cheated again- the chorus ends too soon
Fall back to earth- to a quiet room
Don't wait for me to recover- can we take another spin

In my time machine - taking a ride
One thousand years ago- when i made you mine
My time machine- the other side
One thousand years to go - will you still be mine


12.Valentine

Sometimes she fades away
She's seen too many movies
Killing enough rainy days
With nothing else to do

We'll make our escape
Like the end of casablanca
Taking off from a dark runway
With nothing left to lose

The sun is shining somewhere
Somewhere far away
I could sell everything and go there
Just to hear her say - listen my

Valentine
Say the line
We can be famous for tonight
Superstar
There you are
Bigger than life in black and white
Valentine
Say the line
We can just leave it all behind
Say the line
My valentine

Just like roman holiday
A princess and a schemer
Killing an ordinary day
Any way they choose

Back in hollywood
Convertibles and palm trees
Matinee movie-stars and sunscreen
I wonder if it's true

The sun is rising somewhere
Brighter every day
We'll forget everything and go there
Nothing's in the way

Valentine
Say the line
We can be famous for tonight
Superstar
There you are
Bigger than life in black and white
Valentine
Say the line
We can just leave it all behind
Say the line
My valentine

Sometimes she starts to fade
With starry eyes she tells me
"i want a place in the sun"
She's not the only one

The sun is shining somewhere
Somewhere far away
If we just pack our bags and go there
Everything will change

Valentine
Say the line
We can be famous for tonight
Superstar
There you are
Bigger than life in black and white
Valentine
Say the line
We can just leave it all behind
Say the line
My valentine
