Couldn’t hear alarm bells ringing,
we never saw the danger signs.
When misery comes calling,
we’re at the mercy of mankind.
This is just another season,
another year we’ll soon forget.
You can raise a child to reason,
but you can’t teach them self-respect.
Chorus:
You know the reckoning's in sight,
armed with emotion, but we never learned to fight,
our cup of sorrow is full enough to share,
and all we’re really looking for is tender lovin’ care
Oh, all we’re looking for
Yeah, all we’re looking for is tender lovin’ care
Oh, all we’re looking for
Yeah, all we’re looking for is tender lovin’ care
Oooh, tender lovin’ care
It’s gonna take a fierce battalion,
to disengage old fashioned rules.
set out to find our future leaders
in the hallways of their high schools.
They say the body’s just a vessel,
a place where heart and mind collide.
While God is slipping through our pockets,
can we say faith is on our side?
Chorus 2x

Dear Jennie,
where are you keeping yourself these days?
I’ve searched three cities for you and can’t seem to find a trace.
Dear Jennie,
you always had your head in a book
so I’ve written a note for you on a page
of every library book on the shelf.
Your name’s on countless pages,
and I hope somehow it makes its way to you.
Though the odds are against us,
I guess I’ll take my chances,
cause I can’t help believing
that one day fate’s gonna pull through.
Dear Jennie,
I found your letters underneath my bed.
We thought we’d spelled it out but there was much left unsaid
Dear Jennie,
you might call me crazy, but I’m stuck on old memories
and this time I can’t let them go to waste.
I know I’m digging through the rubble,
but time will shine a tarnished history.
Oh, let’s start it over
and write a different ending,
cause I’ve traveled a distance
from the fool I used to be.
Help me put these fears to rest
Oh Jennie, won’t you write me at the old address?
(Instrumental)
I might be digging through the rubble
but time will shine a tarnished history.
Oh, let’s start it over And write a different ending,
cause I’ve traveled a distance
from the fool I used to be.
If time’s the only test,
I never loved you any less.
Oh Jennie, won’t you write me at the old address?

Every day is waking up to find its own salvation
And every day I found salvation in you
But now I know that everything must happen for & reason
And Iʼve been reasoning that everything will be
better when weʼre through.
I'll tell ya
You canʼt love me like I loved you
You canʼt fool me when it ainʼt true
You can'ʼt love me like I was loving you
No, no, no, no, no
you canʼt, baby you canʼt
Oh love, love, love is lack of wisdom
Makes you feel so brave until it knocks you to the ground
But now Iʼve found thereʼs only senselessness,
only senselessness in suffering
And I canʼt find no sense, canʼt find no sense,
in keeping you around
Because
You canʼt love me like I loved you
You canʼt fool me when it ainʼt true
You can'ʼt love me like I was loving you
No, no, no, no, no
you canʼt, baby you canʼt
All these tears were never meant to be
But we loved without a warranty
And now Iʼm left to try and understand
How my love was wasted on a broken man, oh
You canʼt love me like I loved you
You canʼt fool me when it ainʼt true
You can'ʼt love me like I was loving you
No, no, no, no,
You canʼt love me like I loved you
You canʼt fool me when it ainʼt true
You can'ʼt love me like I was loving you
No, no, no, no, no
You canʼt

Can’t seem to find the words to sing
You know I never meant to doubt you
Couldn’t write a song without you
Josephine
I know apologizing doesn’t change a thing,
but if you’re listening, I promise I’ll be better
I just want more time together
Josephine
If only I had listened when you whispered in my ear,
I should have known you’d know just how to put it right
But since you’ve gone, I’ve been searching for ideas in the darkness,
Oh, Darling, Just shine a little light
Instr.
Josephine
I know you’ve moved along to better things
But if this melody should ever come to find you
Well, I hope that it reminds you of the songs we have yet to sing
I may not be your rolling stone
But if you’re lonely out there on your own
You don’t have to be alone
You don’t have to be alone
Oh, won’t you come back home
Josephine

Without Suffering

I don’t wanna suffer all this suffering
I’m waiting here while the walls are caving in
There’s gotta be a way For me to find a little faith
I just wanna let love in
Without suffering
Without suffering
I don’t wanna make the same mistake
Putting all my trust in a love that’s bound for heartbreak
I gotta learn to lose and make room for something new
If only I could let love in
Without suffering
Without suffering
Yeah, my heart’s a little heavy, baby
Cause I’ve been carrying this pain with me
It’s been a year since you hurt me so bad
But I’m moving past it, I’ve got to let go
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gotta let it in
I feel alive in the skin I’m in
Gonna love without suffering
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gotta let it in
I’m gonna smile for the hell of it
Gonna love without suffering
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gotta let it in
My little light’s gonna shine within
Gonna love without suffering
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gotta let it in
I wanna dance every chance i get
Gonna love without suffering
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gotta let it in
I feel alive in the skin I’m in
Gonna love without suffering
Every morning as the day begins,
I’m feelin’ love, gonna let it in
Ohhhh, without suffering
