Gotta Be a Better Way
It was shortly after midnight
And the girl was running wild again
Cooking up dreams
Blacker than the night
From the corner of her eye
She spotted me walking by
Shook me up inside something came alive
I can never be the same
Under her spell
She opened my eyes
She took me from Hell
To another sky
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
Gotta be a better way
Standing in the doorway
I came face to face
With the memories
Of the love we once had
The love we let slip away
After too many empty years
After too many angry tears
You finally made me see
We weren't meant to be
Now I can live another day
Caught in the past
Living a lie
Going down fast
So I've got to try
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
Gotta be a better way
When I ran it all down
And I totaled it up
When I read the score
And it came right back to me
Better than I ever dreamed
So I'm breaking out
I'm finally free
Shaking the past and making new time
Moving so fast that I feel like I'm flying
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
And the girl was running wild again
Cooking up dreams
Blacker than the night
From the corner of her eye
She spotted me walking by
Shook me up inside something came alive
I can never be the same
Under her spell
She opened my eyes
She took me from Hell
To another sky
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
Gotta be a better way
Standing in the doorway
I came face to face
With the memories
Of the love we once had
The love we let slip away
After too many empty years
After too many angry tears
You finally made me see
We weren't meant to be
Now I can live another day
Caught in the past
Living a lie
Going down fast
So I've got to try
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know

When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
Gotta be a better way

Moving so fast that I feel like I'm flying
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know

When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
All at once my heart is on fire
And then I know
Something's gonna change
When it all comes down
To a burning desire
And I know in my heart
There's gotta be a better way
