I'D Go Out On a Limb
I'D GO OUT ON A LIMB BUT I'M ALREADY THERE
TURN OFF THE STARS
TO SHOW YOU I CARE
I'D TAKE BACK A NIGHT
YET IT’S ALREADY MINE TELL YOU TO
TELL SOMEONE
YOU'RE JUST HERE FOR A TIME
I'D TALK ABOUT THE EXCESS THE DEEP NEED FOR A NAP
THE DAILY DISTRACTIONS
ARE THERE ALREADY INTACT
I'D BE A WITNESS A WARRIOR
MY OWN DEAR ENEMY TRUE
LET THE LOVERS BE LOVESTRUCK
YET ALWAYS BE FINDING SOMEONE NEW
I'D GO OUT OF THE DOOR
IN A DRIFT FOR A ROAM
BE A WAYFARING WANDERER
TO FIND A WINDING WAY HOME
I'D LEAVE YOU WITH SOMETHING YOU ALREADY HEARD ONCE BEFORE
CAN YOU LIVE WITH
A HEARTSTRING
THAT LOVE CAN'T
IGNORE
I'D GO OUT ON A BEACH
TO TAKE A LONG STROLL
WATCH A SUNSET
IN SEA-TIME
WHILE THE WORLD TAKES ITS TOLL
I'D BE STEADY TO STOP YOU
OF ALL THE DREAMS
YOU CAN'T LIVE
TRY A LITTLE EACH DAY
TO SHOW YOU TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE
I'D COME WISHING WHILE WAITING
WITH A GOOD PLAN FOR YOUR PEACE
THE DISTANCES IN TEAR TIME
TO SEE YOU FIND SWEET RELEASE
I'D SAY 'HELLO, I'M OUTTA HERE
IT’S A ME YOU DON’T KNOW'
ARE THE RHYMES EVEN
FULL ENOUGH
FOR THE LINES NOW
TO SHOW
I'D SAY 'I'M OUT THERE'
BUT REALLY “I'M INSIDE
A GOOD HEART”
THE LESSER LESSONS
OF LOVE
ARE MAKING MORE OF
A MARK
I'D SAY “BYE NOW I'M READY
IS THERE A BUS OR
A TRAIN?”
TELL THE SUNSHINE
TO SIT STILL
JUST TO RUN A RACE
IN THE RAIN
I'D STAY OUT ON A LIMB
IT'S JUST PLAIN TO SEE
I'D WISH THE SAME FOR MYSELF
LIKE I'M YOU AND
YOUR ME
