lyrics

Victory Square

Shake 'em on down
I believe them
shake 'em on down again
I ain't got the heart for leaving
so now I'm back to stay, my friend
could have been right
could have been wrong
I can't really say
life is just a dream you know
dreaming anyway

holding on to what'd best be leaving
everyone I've seen
trying to fit the pieces
caught up in mid scene
we try to move away
but everything gets
caught up in the way

I'm hurting so bad
hurting so bad
I don't know what you want
but I will try to give it to you
I don't know what you need
but I'm the man who delivers to you
save the tears
it's one more grind
taking everything I have
oh backslide, run and hide
talking about your child bride
I've been believing
I've been crying
I've been all around
and I've seen what you can do

and I've got two legs
walk around the world for you
and I've got two arms
do anything you know
I've got two eyes
see the things you need
and I've got two ears
and I hear I hear I hear I hear...

You see it took me so long
to find out what to say
breaking back
our love's apart
but it's heaven anyway
oh turn me round
and twist me down
show me what you mean
our love lies there
in Victory Square
a certain summer scene

I got no way to make you realize
all those things about every other guy

but I've got two legs
walk around the world for you
and I've got two arms
do anything you know
I've got two eyes
see the things you need
and I've got two ears
and I hear I hear I hear I hear...
