To Be A Man - Dax

God, I'm down here on my knees 'Cause it's the last place left to fall Beggin' for another chance If there's any chance at all That You might still be listenin' Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong And I sure could use your help 'Cause from now on, I wanna be a good man A do like I should man I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see I wanna be a strong man And admit that I was wrong man God, I'm asking You to come change me Into the man I wanna be If there's anyway for her and me to make another start Could You see what you could do to put some love back in her heart? 'Cause it's gonna take a miracle After all I've done to really make her see That I want to be a stay man I want to be a brave man I want to be the kind of man she sees in her dreams God, I wanna be Your man and I wanna be her man God, I only hope she still believes in the man I wanna be Well, I know this late at night that talk is cheap But Lord, don't give up on me I want to be a givin' man I want to really start livin', man God, I'm asking You to come change me Into the man I wanna be

I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free He wrote his epitaph He wrote his eulogy It said, "I think that I can die now For my true love won't come for me" Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free

I'm out late every night Doing things that ain't right And she'll cry for me When I'm down in the dumps And she nurses my lumps How she cries for me And she'll never complain She keeps hiding the pain But I know all the while She's not feeling too well 'Cause I put her through hell Still she forces a smile She's got to be a saint Lord know that I ain't I finally realize Right before my eyes Here is a saint There's a dress in a shop That'll make her eyes pop But she'll look away She'd have gotten a lift If I'd bought her that gift For her birthday But her birthday has come And I feel like a bum 'Cause I spent my last dime On a worthless old friend On a drunken weekend I've done it time after time She's got to be a saint Lord know that I ain't I finally realize Right before my eyes Here is a saint Should I stay? Should I go? I really don't know My mind's in a blur Soon it's gonna be dawn And if she finds me gone Would it be best for her? I see her cry in her sleep So I kiss her wet cheek I kneel by her and pray And I'll turn off the light Step out in the night And I'll go on my way She's got to be a saint Lord know that I ain't I finally realize Right before my eyes Here is a saint

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
