@SONG: Amanda
(written by Tom Scholz)
Babe, tomorrow's so far away.
There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Another day.
Knowin' I love you.
And I -- I'm getting' too close again.
I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light.
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?
(chorus)
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand.
Amanda
I love you.
And, I feel like today's the day.
I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya.
So it may be too soon I know.
The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.
(chorus)
You and I -- I know that we can't wait.
And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together.
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late.
And, feelin' the way I do,
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you.
@SONG: We're Ready
(written by Tom Scholz)
I'm ready for more
The feelin' now that I'm besides you.
We'll open the door.
Do anything that we decide to.
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight.
And I feel like I'm finally seein' the light.
Holdin' on girl -- I know it's right
I know it's right
We're ready!
You and I will find a reason
To simplify a change of season.
And I feel like it's time we were off on our way.
We can go so much farther than we've come today.
Holdin' on girl and come what may
Come what may
We're ready!
We're ready
Come on
We can find a way
We're ready now
Catchin' a wave to ride on.
Steady now
Headin' where we decide on.
And I know that there's something that's just out of sight.
And I feel like we're trying to do something right.
Come on make it if we hold on tight.
Hold on tight
We're ready!
We're ready
Come on
We can find a way
We're ready now
We're ready now
We're ready now

@SONG: Cool the Engins
(written by Tom Scholz, Fran Sheehan, Brian Delp)
Now I like takin' off.
Don't like burnin' out.
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout.
We keep gettin' hotter.
Moving' way too fast.
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not gonna last.
Cool the engines
Red line's gettin' near.
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear.
I'm no fool -- I'm gonna keep it cool
And take it day by day.
We won't know where we might go
Until we make it all the way.
Take me for a ride.
Take me all the way.
Take me where I've never been
Someplace I can stay.
Don't get yourself too hot.
Don't get yourself too high.
If we don't take it easy now
We can kiss it all goodbye.
Cool the engines
Slow this rocket down.
Cool the engines
Why don't ya take a look around.
I'm no fool -- gonna keep it cool
Take it day by day.
We won't know where we might go
'Til we make it all the way.
Cool the engines
Cool the engines
Goin' over the line
Goin' off the dial
Runnin' out of time
And it's gettin' wild
Got flashin' lights
Goin' 'round and 'round
Until we get it right
Better cool it down
Better cool it down
Cool the engines
And now we're on our way.
No need to hurry
Just to get from day to day.
And I oooh, oooh I know
We don't have to run that hard
To get where we can go.
Cool the engines
Cool the engines down
Cool the engines
Cool the engines down
@SONG: My Destination
(written by Tom Scholz)
And feelin' the way I do
Wouldn't last a mile without you.
When I'm losing' the way
The things that you say
Take me there -- my destination
My destination
Is by your side
Right by your side.
And I -- I've taken so long I know
Never had so far to go.
It's not where you can be.
It's what you can see
That takes you there -- your destination
Your destination
It's here inside
Right here inside.

@SONG: To Be a Man
(written by Tom Scholz)
What does it take to be a man?
What dos it take to see it's a heart and soul, a gentle hand?
So easy to want and so hard to give.
How can you be a man 'til you see beyond the life you live?
Oh, what does it take to be a man?
We can be blind, but a man tries to see.
It takes tenderness for a man to be what he can be.
And what does it mean if you're weak or strong?
A gentle feelin' can make it right or make it wrong.
What does it take to be a man?
The will to give and not receive.
The strength to say what you believe.
The heart to feel what others feel inside.
To see what they can see.
A man is somethin' that's real.
It's not what you are
It's what you can feel.
It can't be too late
To look through the hate
And see.
I know that's what a man can be.
@SONG: I Think I Like It
(written by Tom Scholz, J. English)
Somethin' changin' for me inside.
Took a long time.
Now there's nothing' for me to hide.
I say what's on my mind.
Changes makin' me see the light.
I finally see wrong from right.
Now I can see every sign.
(chorus)
Oooh, I think I like it.
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Even though it's such a surprise.
But you know,
Oooh, I think I really like it.
I think I like what I feel and
Changes really open your eyes.
Oh, look at the world we make.
What have we begun?
People livin' for what they take
All for number one.
Changes makin' me see the light.
I finally see wrong from right.
Now that it's all said and done.
(chorus)
Oh doesn't love say enough,
When you realize?
People try to come on so tough,
All to fantasize.
Changes takin' me through the night.
I finally see the light.
I've opened my eyes.
Those changes can open your eyes.
@SONG: Can'tcha Say (You Believe in Me)
(written by Gary Green, Tom Scholz, Brian Delp)
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha see what you mean to me?
Everyday I think of you,
You're on my mind.
Some things in the past
Are better left behind.
Every night I dream of you,
The images as clear as day.
(chorus)
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
You know that where there's a will there's a way.
Can'tcha say you believe in me?
Can't you see what it means to me?
Don't leave me alone tonight,
'Cause I still love you.
We've had our time apart
And I knew right from the start
I could never change
The way I feel about you baby.
We can sit here all night long
And separate the right from wrong
But love won't wait.
(chorus)
@SONG: Still in Love
(written by Tom Scholz, Brian Delp)
Oooh, oooh still in love with you.
You know I need you baby
To stand by me.
Can't you see I need you baby.
Oooh, oooh I'm still in love with you.
@SONG: Hollyann
(written by Tom Scholz)
In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decade.
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day.
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day.
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say.
Oooh, the nights you came to me
A blue jean lady so eager to be free.
And the wind in your long hair blowin' as we stood for the band.
Oh, Hollyann
(chorus)
Hollyann
We made the dark into the light.
We saw the wrong and the right.
We were for life
And we would never concede it.
Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign.
We held the line.
Can you believe it?
Hollyann
Hollyann
We could live
Just to turn the world onto our fantasy.
And we cold give
Aquarius was really meant to be.
You and I we were there to see the dawn.
Side by side we had love to carry on.
And I still hear guitars in the air as we sat in the sand.
Oh, Hollyann
