Different Reasons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are times...
There are times that I remember
There are times...
That I would just as soon forget...
There are dreams that I've surrendered
And others that I'm still not over yet
But tonight...we're in each other's arms
And for awhile the world stands still...
And no one's making promises
'Cause promises some hearts just love to kill...
You and I are here for different reasons...
That no one but tonight will ever know
What it is two hearts believe in
Is it tenderness or treason
And it'll be for different reasons
That we go...
Yes, it'll be for different reasons when we go...
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, oh yeah
You can always...
You can always tell a dreamer
You just can't tell them...
(Just can't tell them)
(Just can't tell them)
You just can't tell them anything
Through the halls the true believers
Have that same old song they sing
And me...well I know all the words
But after all they don't ring true...
And your eyes they don't ask questions
And you just hold me tight until
The night is through...
You and I are here for different reasons...
That no one but tonight will ever know
What it is two hearts believe in
Is it tenderness or treason
And it'll be for different reasons
That we go...
Yes, it'll be for different reasons when we go...
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, oh yeah
Some of us just need somebody to talk to...
Some of us just need somebody to touch...
Some spend their whole lives running
From the ones who need too much...
But tonight we're in each other's arms
And all I know is I feel free
And darling I just gotta tell you
That there's no place else that I would rather be...
But you and I are here for different reasons...
That no one but tonight will ever know
What it is two hearts believe in
Is it tenderness or treason
And it'll be for different reasons
That we go...
Yes, it'll be for different reasons when we go...
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, oh yeah
And it'll be for different reasons...
Every time we go
It'll be for different reasons...
Every time we go
