Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man, the city just ain't so kind tonight
[Verse 2]
I need a place to take refuge
See, I been lovin' you blind
And I guess that made it hard for me to find
[Verse 3]
That we were caught up in the middle
Of a worn out dream
I knew we were in trouble
But baby, I almost screamed
[Verse 4]
When I saw you dancin'
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice, show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flyin' away
While I'm stuck here on the ground
[Verse 5]
Is there anyone out there?
Somewhere I can belong
Man, the city just ain't so kind tonight
[Verse 6]
And if I had my suspicions
I kept 'em outta my heart
I just wish I would have known right from the start
[Verse 7]
That you'd be speakin' in riddles
And you'd never confide
You know, I knew we were in trouble
But honey, I almost cried
[Verse 8]
When I saw you dancin'
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice, show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're out on the wind
And I'm still waitin' to be found
[Verse 9]
You did a fine job of hidin'
That crooked ace up your sleeve
You doubled down my direction
You kiss me on the cheek and leave
[Verse 10]
I followed you through the darkness
I followed you through the cold
Woman, I can tell you one thing
You're gonna wish you could go back and fold
[Verse 11]
Why did you roll your dice, show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flyin' away
While I'm stuck here on the ground
[Verse 12]
Why did you roll your dice, show your cards?
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're out on the wind
I'm still waitin' to be found
[Verse 13]
Yeah, will I ever win?
Only time will tell
You gotta suffer to remember, I will
Well, our ideals never really marched in time
That's the bottom line
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
