ANYTHING AT ALL
[Mitch Malloy / Mark Ribler]
You've been cheated
You've been messed around
You were looking for heaven
But hell is all that you found
Are you ready for somebody
To put your mind at ease
'Cause I'm ready and I'll be there
To fill your every need
Anything at all ... I'd give you
Anything at all ... to have you here in my arms
Where you belong ... you've gotta believe me
I'd do anything at all
Well, the first time I laid my eyes on you
I knew my life was changing and I couldn't lose
I was ready for somebody to put my mind at ease
So if you want me, reach out and touch me
And I'd do anything
NOBODY WINS IN THIS WAR
[Mitch Malloy / Mark Ribler]
I'm not alone
I know you feel it
So much deeper than we can see
Blood runs strong
And all my emotions have taken their toll on me
A lonely battle
Another night
I don't wanna fight anymore
Nobody wins in this war
Two hearts are breaking
Is there an end in sight
Don't keep me waiting
'Cause I can't fight anymore
Nobody wins in this war
It's you and I
And nothing else matters
It's all of the love that you've given me
We will survive ... if we lay down our weapons
While we've still got time
Will you surrender or give it up
'Cause I don't wanna fight anymore
Nobody wins in this war
These wounds of love need healing
I'm leaving it all in your hands
MISSION OF LOVE
[Mitch Malloy / Mark Ribler]
She's a wounded angel
Losing her way in the dark
She's living in danger
Of losing what's left of her heart
But I'll be there to pick up the pieces
And I'm gonna catch ya whenever you're falling
I'm on a mission of love
I'm right beside you -- I've got the strength to guide you
I'm on a mission of love
I'm coming straight for your heart
I'm on a mission of love
So many reasons
And so many stories to tell
But there's only one answer
And you've been hiding it well.
I know it's tough to face the truth
But there's no other way to keep you from falling
STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
[Mitch Malloy / Mark Ribler]
No sign of life
No sign of you
I'm staring into darkness
With nothing left to lose
Lord knows I've tried
To read your mind
Without a word, your love has left me behind
And now I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere
All you left me was cold and alone
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere
You left me empty-handed since you've been gone
Something was right
For once in my life
But now you're just a haunting memory
Tearing me up inside
You'll never know
How hard I tried
Without a word, your love has left me behind
I've been thinking 'bout all the times I was there for you
And there was never any doubt in my mind that you'd be there too
But now I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere
FOREVER
[Mitch Malloy / Tim Wheeler]
Time, forever, and time will tell
Never saying never, never say farewell
Wide-eyed children beneath the spell
One look at each other and in love they fell
Never, never forever
Well, I wonder how and I wonder why
When you love someone, do you say goodbye
Is the end again or will this be forever?
Well, I wonder now, will you start to cry
Will your baby sing you a lullaby
Is the heart worth winning and will this be forever and ever?
All those memories and all those years
All those broken-hearted people and all those tears
Somehow, somewhere, something's lost
Looking for the love, no matter what the cost
Well, I doubt forever's not for you
So I'll make you an offer you can't refuse
CEILINGS AND WALLS
[Mitch Malloy / Dennis Morgan]
Daydream eyes
Watched the skies
Til they broke my spell
With the morning bell
I wanted to be anywhere
Anywhere else but there
3:30 came
I'd run down main
To read the latest issue of my dreams
The week's magazines
I just couldn't wait to break free ... from those
Ceilings and walls
Just look around
We build them up
While we're tearing others down
Isn't it strange all our lives
We try to escape from inside
Ceilings and walls
Mom was in her Sunday dress
Dad was in his Sunday best
The tears were running down her face
And he was trying to hold his back
As the Greyhound buss pulled away
I waved from the window with my mind already gone
They tried to hold on
But I couldn't wait to say so long ... to those
Time passes by
There's just no stopping that
We're supposed to gain a wiser eye
The older that we get
But, here we are
It's come to this
This one hurts more than the memory of all the rest
The taxi's outside in the rain
Waiting to take you away
So ... one last look
One last touch
I wish that this could have worked out better for us
But I guess change always comes
It's just a shame we're still running from ...
Ain't it a shame
We waste so much time
Trying to escape from inside
Ceilings and walls
