Because We Can lyrics - Bon Jovi

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

She's in the kitchen staring out the window

So tired of living life in black and white

Right now she's missing those technicolor kisses

When he turns down the lights

Lately, he's feeling like a broken promise

In the mirror staring down his doubt

There's only one thing in this world that he knows

He said forever and he'll never let her down

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

TV and takeout on the coffee table

Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine

Turn down the sound and move a little closer

And for the moment everything is alright

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

Because we can, our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we

We can, just wrap your arms around me

We can, we can

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean (I don't wanna be)

I am a rock not just another grain of sand ( Oh yeah)

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand (I am a, I am a, I am a)

Because we can

I don't wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand (that's right)

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain't a soldier but I'm here to take a stand

Because we can

(Because we can) Our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we (Our love can move a mountain)

We can, just wrap your arms around me (Because we can)

We can, we can

Because we can

I'm With You lyrics - Bon Jovi

Look at this world

It's filled with worn out faces

Forgotten places and nothing changes

Whatever happened to that new day rising

We're just surviving when living is dying

Aren't you tired of being let down?

Another day, another shakedown

I'm with you

When hope is gone and all you want is the truth

(I'm with you)

You carry on when they say, "It's no use"

(I'm with you)

(I'm with you)

If I got one thing, I got something to prove

We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose

(I'm with you)

I walk in shadows that seem all familiar

I've read the papers, life forsaken

A vacant store front, and one more "For Sale" sign

Down on main street you just walk by

How many times we gotta break down

Before somebody's gonna shout out?

I'm with you

When hope is gone and all you want is the truth

(I'm with you)

You carry on when they say, "It's no use"

(I'm with you)

(I'm with you)

If I got one thing, I got something to prove

We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose

(I'm with you)

When hope is gone and all you want is the truth

(I'm with you)

You carry on when they say, "It's no use" (you say, "It's no use")

Well, I've got one thing, I got something to prove

We all got nothing if there's nothing to lose

I'm with you, I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you

What About Now lyrics - Bon Jovi

You wanna start a fire

It only takes a spark

You gotta get behind the wheel

If you're ever gonna drive that car

If you wanna take a bite

You'd better have the teeth

If you're gonna take that step

Then get up off of your knees

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?

For the desperate and the hungry?

Down for the count, I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teachers

Stand up and be proud

What about now?

You wanna start a fight

You gotta take a swing

You gotta get your hands in the dirt

To see what the harvest will bring

You wanna raise your voice

Don't be scared to breathe

Don't be afraid to hurt

Don't be ashamed in need

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?

For the desperate and the hungry?

Down for the count, I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teachers

Stand up and be proud

What about now?

The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons

'Til dreams are just fade dark and grey

And all of your plans that slip right through your hands

Are just things that you take to your grave

'Cause tonight we're alive

Who'll stand for the restless and the lonely?

For the desperate and the hungry?

Down for the count, I'm hearing you now

For the faithful, the believer

For the faceless and the teachers

Stand up and be proud

What about now?

What about now?

What about now?

What about now?

Pictures Of You lyrics - Bon Jovi

I feel just like Picasso

And you're my masterpiece

I painted you a lifetime

Now what's left are memories

Sunlight's in the curtains

Diamonds in the trees

I gave you colors blue and gold

As you lay upon the sheets

Something so familiar drawn from this blank page

Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase

No matter how I try, no matter what I do

I'm still painting pictures of you

I could almost smell your perfume

In each brush stroke of the flowers

I left you tea from China

Waiting in your sacred tower

Something so familiar drawn from this blank page

Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase

No matter how I try, no matter what I do

I'm still painting pictures of you

If I should go crazy, if I would go blind

I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind

If that's the only way to make you mine

It was something so familiar

Drawn from this blank page

Every line from my hand takes me back to what I can't erase

No matter how I try, no matter what I do

I'm still painting pictures, I'm always painting pictures

Still painting pictures of you

Amen lyrics - Bon Jovi

Last night I had a dream

The dream I had was true

I fell through the stars

When walking on the moon

Burned like a thousand candles in her arms

Her skin under my fingertips

The honeysuckle on her lips

Sweeter than a man deserves to taste

Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?

But amen, amen, amen

Last night we were born together

It was like we'd always been

She'll be with me forever

If I don't see her again

We poured the wine until our cup ran over

Unfolding like a mystery

Inside of her like poetry

A thousand horses running through my veins

Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?

Amen, amen, amen

I laid down in her garden

Naked on her floor

Windows up, the curtains blowing

She don't lock the door

Amen

Amen

At the banquet table

A beggar at a feast

I felt her tongue between my lips

And I forgot to breathe

We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet

Last night I had a dream

The dream I had was true

Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?

Mercy, mercy, I laid down and prayed

Amen

Amen

Amen

That's What The Water Made Me lyrics - Bon Jovi

Baby, baby, baby

There's no use in trying to save me

There's devils in heaven

There's angels in hell

So, blow me one last kiss

And wish me well, well

Love is like fingerprints

They don't wash away

I left mine all over you

I take the blame

Ask me how

Ask me what

Ask me why, baby

That's what the water made me

That's who I am and what I'll be

That's what the water, that's what the water made me

There ain't no doubt about it

It makes you or brings you to your knees

That's what the water, that's what the water made me

This world is cracked and crazy

Say one of your pretty prayers for me

No rose in the garden

Or wish in the well

I don't know how

Don't know what

Don't know why, baby

That's what the water made me

That's who I am and what I'll be

That's what the water, that's what the water made me

There ain't no doubt about it

It makes you or brings you to your knees

That's what the water, that's what the water made me

That's what the water, that's what the water

Ask me how

Ask me what

Ask me why

Baby, baby, baby

There's no use in trying to save me

There's devils in heaven

There's angels in hell

(Hold me close, hold me close, hold me)

That's what the water made me

That's who I am and what I'll be

That's what the water, that's what the water made me

There ain't no doubt about it

It makes you or brings you to your knees

That's what the water, that's what the water

What's Left Of Me lyrics - Bon Jovi

For thirty odd years, I was a newspaperman

Made my living with a pen and a pad

God, I miss the smell of paper and the ink on my hands

Been back from the desert for a year or so

I left more in that sand than you'll ever know

Another war was waiting for me when I got back home

In the name of the flag, some gave their lives

I'm still living, yeah, Semper Fi

Well, that's my story, what else can I say? Hey, hey

I got a lot to give, say, can you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car, but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Boarded up the house, they left the keys

Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets

But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

They called us "Dirty Harry," we're a punk rock band

Why they sold old CBGBs, I don't understand

All that's left now are the t-shirts and they come from Japan

I sold my drums to make ends meet

The band broke up, we had to eat

It's the same old shit, it just happens more these days, hey, hey

I got a lot to give, say, can you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car, but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Boarded up the house, they left the keys

Foreclosed on my city, rolled up these streets

But I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey (Hey)

I'm a teacher, I'm a farmer, I'm a union man

It's getting hard to make a living in this hard land

We ain't working in our factories, all those jobs went overseas

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?

I got a lot to give, say, can you see?

I'm still breathing and my heart still beats

They took the car, but they left the lease

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Does anybody want to buy or rent?

Take the chance or place a bet?

I ain't checking out, I still got my dreams

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Does anybody want, does anybody want

Does anybody want what's left of me?

Army Of One lyrics - Bon Jovi

I'm in this war

But got no gun

Still standing strong

An army of one

So sign me up

I'm a soldier

I've got a voice

It's all I need

A beating heart inside of me

I'm an army of one

I'm a soldier

These eyes hold no disguise

We're fighting for our lives

We're all trying to get back home tonight

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never give up

Never let up

Ever

Never give in

You're an army of one

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never forget

Where you're from

Never give up

You're an army of one

I can't hurt but I still feel

I know that life's a battlefield

When the times get tough

I'm a soldier

And when it's time to face the fight

With just my shadow at my side

I'm an army of one

I'm a soldier

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never give up

Never let up

Ever

Never give in

You're an army of one

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never forget

Where you're from

Never give up

You're an army of one

So don't apologize

Defend, just be alive

We're all trying

To get it right tonight

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never give up

Never let up

Ever

Never give in

You're an army of one

Never give up

Never give up

Never

Never forget

Where you're from

Never give up

You're an army of one

Thick As Thieves lyrics - Bon Jovi

In an empty room or a downtown bar

'Cross the universe, there's no place too far

Ya wherever you are, you and me

Thick as thieves

Well it ain't always pretty, sometimes it got rough

Could have thrown the towel in and thrown our hands up

Seems like we've always been and always will be

Thick as thieves

Time, time won't ever drag us down

You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around

It's classic boy meets girl, with our backs against the world

You and me

Thick as thieves

In a world without faith, you're what I believe

When they're stacking the deck

You're the card up my sleeve in my hour of need

You and me, yeah

Thick as thieves

Lights are all that's left behind us now

You, me, us, ain't looking back or turning around

It's classic boy meets girl, with our backs against the world

You and me

Thick as thieves

If I robbed a bank you wouldn't care

You'd come sit on my lap in the electric chair

And when they flipped the switch, huh, we'd just kiss

I know nothing's gonna stop us now

You, me, us, on the edge and never looking down

What's a boy to do, it's classic me and you

Lucky you, lucky me

Thick as thieves

Thick as thieves

Beautiful World lyrics - Bon Jovi

Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end

In the end when it ends then I'll listen to them

You wake up, go to work, go to sleep

Then you do it, you do it, if you're lucky then you do it again

Yeah, we walk through a world that we don't understand

When I look in your eyes I'm just happy I can

Yeah, we'll laugh and we'll cry and we'll lose and we'll win

We'll get through it and to prove it yeah we'll do it again

There's glory in the saddest story

Look at it, just sticks and bricks

Makes you wonder how the pieces fit

Where we're going, where we've been

This ain't paradise we're living in

It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl

Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?

It's a shame when they say that it's been done and said

They keep digging that grave, let them bury their heads

There's a kid with a dream and a sky full of stars

There's another first kiss in the back of some car

Turn a page and write the story

Look at it, just sticks and bricks

Makes you wonder how the pieces fit

Where we're going, where we've been

This ain't paradise we're living in

It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl

Ah, but ain't it a beautiful world?

They're running numbers out of the Spanish grocery

And Mary Mary says her rosary

We get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree

Ah, the pretzel man's wearing Gucci glasses

A widow spreads her lover's ashes

I'll hold on to you, hold on to me, yeah

We'll do it, we'll do it, yeah, we're lucky then we'll do it again, ah

Look at it, just sticks and bricks

Makes you wonder how the pieces fit

Where we're going, where we've been

This ain't paradise we're living in

It's a diamond, it's a dirty string of pearls

Ah, ain't it a beautiful world?

Oh, ain't it a beautiful world?

Oh, oh, ain't it a beautiful world?

Room At The End Of The World lyrics - Bon Jovi

There's a room at the end of the world

Where my secrets go to hide

There's a room at the end of the world

Where I'll wait for you tonight

Where the roads all go to end

Where lost Valentines get sent

Where a rose comes back to life

Where young love never dies

Where we never say goodbye

Don't say no, just give in

Close your eyes, there's no sin

Don't hold back, just let go

Take your time, take it slow

It's me and you in our room at the end of the world

There's a room at the end of the world

Where my secrets go to hide

There's a room at the end of the world

Where I'll wait for you tonight

Where all prayers go to be heard

And the truth will have its turn

Take a look into these eyes

There's no place I'd rather be tonight

No place I'd rather be tonight

Don't say no, just give in

Close your eyes, there's no sin

Don't hold back, just let go

Take your time, take it slow

It's me and you in our room at the end of the world

There's no looking back in our room

Fade to black

There's a room at the end of the world

That I hang on to

There's a room at the end of the world

I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you

Don't say no, just give in

Close your eyes, there's no sin

Don't hold back, just let go

Take your time, take it slow

It's me and you in our room at the end of the world

Where I wait for you in our room

Dreams are coming true in our room

It's just me and you in our room

The Fighter lyrics - Bon Jovi

I should write down these words 'fore I lose them

Or write you a song just to use them

Someday you may wanna know who I am

Beyond this facade, no guitar in my hand

No, I am not a writer

These eyes hold no secrets I hide no truths

I am all I am, all I was to you

The lie and the promise, the great escape artist

The weed in your garden in that place you're still guarding

Where I am not a liar

I am the fighter

Though not a boxer by trade

I am the fighter

Few will remember my name

These are hands that can offer protection

But hid me from my own reflection

I'm that book that ain't finished, the sink full of dishes

The horse that ain't winning, that priest that's still sinning

The spark that starts the fire

I am the fighter

Though not a boxer by trade

I am the fighter

Few will remember my name

With loneliness next to me, fear sits in misery

Nursing another black eye

On the New Jersey turnpike, I'm counting the headlights

As cars, just like days, pass me by

I am the fighter

Though not a boxer by trade

I am the fighter

Few will remember my name

I am the fighter

Though not a boxer by trade

I am the fighter

A fighter is born, but not made

I should write down these words 'fore I lose them

Or write you a song just to use them

With These Two Hands lyrics - Bon Jovi

I could roll the dice

And give you ten good reasons

I could break the ice

And pick up the broken pieces

I could wave hello, I could raise a glass

I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass

We could take it all apart or hold it all together

With these two hands I can tear down walls

I can build a bridge, I can break my fall

With these two hands I can pray or fight

I can hold the torch, I can shine a light

With these two hands

I could strike a match that sets the world on fire

Hold a grain of sand till it turns into a diamond

I could plant the seed, I could flip that switch

Make the sign of peace, I could make a fist

Oh, we could make this hurt or we could make it better

With these two hands I can tear down walls

I can build a bridge, I can break my fall

With these two hands I can pray or fight

I can hold the torch, I can shine a light

With these two hands

Wipe the teardrops from your eyes

Reach up until we touch the sky

Free to dream and make it true

No, there ain't nothing we can't do

Oh, there ain't nothing we can't do

With these two hands I can tear down walls

I can build a bridge, I can break my fall

With these two hands I can pray or fight

I can hold the torch, I can shine a light

With these two hands

Wipe the teardrops from your eyes

Reach up until we touch the sky

Free to dream and make it true

No, there ain't nothing we can't do

Oh, there ain't nothing we can't do

Into The Echo lyrics - Bon Jovi

When it hurts just to talk, and it's too dark to see

When my heart's just a hole full of want, full of need

Stuck at a stoplight, hands gripping the wheel

Tears fill your eyes and you bleed just to feel

Someone beside you, someone to cry to

Into the echo, we shout our dreams

Into the echo, we throw our hearts

Into the echo, we send our love

Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo

To hear it back

Are you who you are

What's under that mask

Do you burn for the future or yearn for the past

Did somebody send you, some broke fairy tale

Now you wait by the water for a ship that has sailed

Into the echo, we shout our dreams

Into the echo, we throw our hearts

Into the echo, we send our love

Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo

Just to hear it back

When it hurts just to talk, and it's too dark to see

You can touch, you can feel

Yeah, you just got to reach

Into the echo, we shout our dreams

Into the echo, we throw our hearts

Into the echo, we send our love

Into the echo, to the echo, into the echo

To hear it back

Not Running Anymore lyrics - Bon Jovi

Bless me, Father, I have sinned

I'm not sure where to begin

I won't name names or where I've been

But I've been there and back again

No Hail Marys will save me

You learned to live with memories

Here, slip this c-note up your sleeve

Just stay inside until I leave

I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore

The hands of time may tick no more

Let darkness fall upon this door

No waves to wash up on this shore

I won the fight, but lost the war

I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

And I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore

Yeah, there were roses I have loved

Who've given or have given up

I pushed your patience and my luck

It wasn't love I didn't trust

It wasn't you, or me, or us

You've shouldered ifs and ands, and buts

It's that way, OK, I've said too much

But I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore

Old Habits Die Hard lyrics - Bon Jovi

You look like shit. So do you, my brother

I missed you too. Yeah. You dumb stupid mother

A cheap "Welcome Home" sign, a bottle of red

At least you got freedom on an old pull-out bed

Three cheers to the best of the rest we got left

If you could dream anything, what would that be?

If you could dream that, would you share it with me?

We carry our choices, we hide our regrets

We know there's a price, we'll both pay our debts

But maybe they ain't seen the last of us yet

'Cause old habits die hard

Old habits die hard

It might be painful to smile

But it covers the scars

And old habits die hard

There's a face in the mirror, but it don't look like me

Yesterday's gone, a rain drop in the sea

I have your back for each day that's gone by

And I'll still have it 'til the day that I die

Yeah, I'll still have it 'til the day that I die

Old habits die hard

Old habits die hard

It might be painful to smile

But it covers the scars

And old habits die hard

Some day you'll be missed by those you leave behind

And I hope you touched other lives like you've touched mine

Old habits die hard

Old habits die hard

It might be painful to smile

But it covers the scars

Appearances change but don't change who we are

And old habits die hard

Every Road Leads Home To You lyrics - Bon Jovi

I got your picture on my phone

Your voice in my head

I'm lying here alone

Restless in some faraway bed

The stars will falling down

And I'm half a world away

I'm just trying to close the distance

To feel each breath you take

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like a wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running

From everything I thought I knew

And every road leads home to you

Home to you

So you got me to believe

Made me turn on a dime

The writing on the wall

Right in front of me

Every song, every rhyme

But I don't need a thousand words

I need you safe in my arms

I'll be standing strong

I'll keep holding on

When life tries tearing us apart

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like a wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running

From everything I thought I knew

No I ain't regretting

Just how lost I'm getting

Or the red lights I've been blowing through

My foot will find the pedal

As I'm counting the lines

Every road leads home to you

Every road leads home to you

Home

Roads still leads me home to you

Sometimes I don't see the signs

The headlights make me blind

The roads still leads me home to you

When the bridge is burning

And I'm losing my faith

And I'm trying to find my way towards the truth

Like a wild arrow flying

And I'm blindly running

Everything I thought I knew

No I ain't regretting

Just how lost I'm getting

Or the red lights I've been blowing through

My foot will find the pedal

As I'm counting the lines

Every road leads home to you

Every road leads home to you

Home to you

Home to you

Home to you

Every road leads home to you

Home to you

Every road

Leads home to you

Every road leads home to you
