I got my plans From trembling hands I knew just what to do Follow each step carefully And hope they pulled me through
My father ran To different lands And not a word we spoke But I was here To conquer fear And bring some glory home
Theres a world of hate and sorrow Out there standing in your way Theres a load of compromise Before you die And each time you step forward you get burned a little bit
No longer know the way To say goodbye Now I'm down here underneath Your bedroom light Rena please come out With me tonight
I look in through The window And I though I'd take My chance I taught myself to play So I could be where people danced
No higher call Than stars that fall I waited patiently A thousand miles of pavement That became my destiny You can wait a lonely lifetime Wondering when its gonna come
You can while away the hours Getting stoned But one day you get lucky And you look in someones eyes That tell you you don't Have to be alone
Now I'm falling back Just out of your sight Rena please come out With me tonight
Oh now I know the way things go And what I put you through Cause when they try to get to me They get to me through you I know its not the kind of hurt Thats easily set right
And I know you got your reasons To stay inside But nothing ever happens When its left out on its own You locked in there with Just your wounded pride
I'm down here and I'm Way too tired to fight Rena please come out With me tonight Rena please come out With me tonight
