Change Of Season

Hall&Oates Change Of Season Lyrics
1.So Close

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
He fell like a rock
She kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder as they moved cross the floor
But when the music was over she slipped out the door
Yeah a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Then she sits in some club where the long shadows fall
Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall

So close
Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow and a better day
We lie down to sleep so close
Yet so far away

There's a restless look in you eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together girl
Is a dream that keeps us
So close
Yet so far away

Some people think if you really believe
That's all you need to solve all the mysteries
Well i know someone who just heads for the sun
She says 'i don't wanna be wise, i just wanna stay young'


There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together girl is a dream
That's gonna tear us apart


2.Starting All Over Again

Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we're gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be rough, on us
But we gotta face it

We lost what we had
That's why it hurt so bad
It set us back a thousand years
We're gonna make it up
Though it's gonna be rough
To erase all the hurt and tears

Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But i pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
But we both know that we can make it

We gotta take life as it comes
And never worry about who's right or wrong
It's an uphill climb
To the finish line
We're gonna try to make it
One more time

Starting all over again is gonna be rough, so rough
But we're gonna make it
Starting all over as friends is gonna be tough, on us
But we gotta face it

Starting all over again is gonna be hard
But i pray that the love will help us make it
Starting all over again is gonna be slow
We both know that we're gonna make it


3.Sometimes A Mind Changes

He heard a voice call his name
Pulling hard and telling him to make some change
He let a lot pass him by
Sacrificed his sacred fire to buy some time

To let it go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Is shifting with the sands of time
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away

She had a dream of family
Two by thirty
Living in love in tenderness
She let a lot pass her by
Sacrificed her sacred fire to buy some time

Letting go sounds easy
What used to be a certainty
Ain't true
Sometimes a mind changes
Then another heart's got to fly away


4.Everywhere I Look

We always try to be so honest but we're so serious
We have an understanding but that can't carry soul far enough
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
New world on the horizon
And who deserves the love more than you
More than me
Both of us
Can't you see

Everywhere i look i see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere i look i see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through

What we believe has got to be more than the words of our friends
Honey i love the life but i'd fight for our world not to end
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
There's something on the horizon
And who deserves to know more than you
More than me
All of us
Can't you see

Everywhere i look i see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere i look i see people shaking off all the old ways
So why can't we follow through


5.Change Of Season

Oh, i need a change of season
Oh, i want a little springtime in the fall
Oh, i could use a change of season
Can't stop thinkin' about it baby
And i'm sick about it yeah

Oh, i've been trying to fight this feeling
I know just one little brick
Can break the wall
Oh i might find a change of season
Will bring a freeze in the summer, baby

Seasons change, people change
But you can't hold back the clock
Cause time won't stop for you and me
And the world keeps spinning 'round

Feels like time for a change of season
It's a crime that i should feel this way at all
I can't even find a reason
What do you think about it baby
What you think about it, yeah

Seasons change, people change
You can't turn back the clock
No, time won't stop for you and me
The world keeps spinning 'round


6.I Ain't Gonna Take It This Time

You push my buttons hard
And don't even realize what you're doing is killing my soul
Do you think i'm just some prize
You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?
Well, listen then

I ain't gonna take it this time
I ain't gonna take that from anyone
I ain't gonna take it this time
Guess i'm gonna break out

You know i try to please
I lay awake at night
Trying to find the words you'll understand
But when i'm nothing but sincere
I know you can't be hearing
Cause you say it's more of the same
Well, listen then


Do you think i'd ever try to fool you
There are enough lies in the world
You don't need mine
If i can't win your heart and move you
You must be blind


7.Halfway There

Girl we've come together
And then we've felt the sadness
That comes when it's thru
Do we walk our own way in a world turned blue
Oh it's true that i can't see rhyme or reason
And when feeling's out of season
What can i do
Except try to walk away with you

You and i are halfway there
On some road to somewhere
Can i be the one
You and i are halfway there
Can't we go all the way

We were born in the brave new world
Taught to be modern little boys and girls
Then they tried to take our imagination away
When the guns are firing somewhere
And there's evil in the air
What can be do
Except try to say what's true
You know what's true?
This is true girl


Oh we must go on
Oh girl, we can't turn back
We can't retreat
We've gotta attack
Be here right now
I'll be here for you
My love won't die
We've gotta break
Break on through


8.Heavy Rain

Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain, when i'm with you
Seems like a thousand years
Since we both felt free
We've seen a million faces
All staring at you and me
But just like humphrey bogart said
Before he passed out on his bed
Here's looking at you kid
And the rocky road ahead

Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain when i'm with you
You know the thunder comes like a lion's roar
But it leaves me now
When you walk out the door
Listen to that northern wind
It's singing a sad old song
A melody so sick and tired
Been blowing much too long
Ain't it time to feel the weather change
You know it's overdue
Love is gone, we can't go on
Pretending old is new


Rain down


And the daylight comes
As a sweet surprise
Heavy rain
Filling up my eyes
Heavy rain


9.Give It Up(Old Habits)

There's no decision
You look my way
I know that expression and what it says
It'd be so easy
The light is right
Forget in the moment who we are tonight
My body's singing and the music's strong
No coscience speaking ain't nothing wrong

Give it up
That's the way it starts
You've got to know old habits die hard
Give it up
Remember what i said
That kind of lovin' used to happen every day
Temptation makes a fool out of us all

I made my up
It had to end
But i've got this indecision when you're close again
I want you so bad baby
I can't deny
And those old fantasies are stealing across my mind
I thought by now that the flame had gone
I realize that it's still holding on


10.Only Love

Wonder why i'm falling
Guess i'm just that kind of man
Looking for an answer to why i'm in this place i'm in
Walking through a door that's closing
While another slams in your face
Neighbors say that you're imposing
When you walk in an open space
Tell me who, tell me why

Only love can make me happy
Only love can make me cry
Only love can sanctify me
If you can doubt it can you tell me why

Try to find my tears within me
Try to be a logical man
Tryin' to help the world around me
But i'm so lonely i don't know if i can


11.Don't Hold Back Your Love

I know what it's like to be forgotten
Left alone with your simple dreams
But even dreams are fading fast
No one to turn to when you can't sleep at night
Waking up to another day that will soon be over
And if you think that time has forgotten you
Well just look into my eyes
And know the times we'll change

Don't hold back your love
I know it's here
I wanna see it come to life before my eyes
Don't hold back your love
Show me your heart
Cause i will always be here by your side

Don't be mistaken there's still some work to do
Gotta get up every single day
Face the judge and jury
No one will notice they've got their own lives
We've got something they all want
It'll be their surprise
And if you think there is no place to run
Just hold onto my hand
And face whatever comes


One more chance to find the higher ground
One more chance before the curtain's down
One more night to turn your life around again
