I was lost, and you were found
And I never knew how far down
I was falling before I reached
The bottom

Well, I was cold, and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning on the edge
Of the ice field

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly California sand
Oh, I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levi's
Bursting apart

And don't you hear me crying,
"Oh, babe, don't go!"
And don't you hear me screaming,
"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tank full of time
Oh, give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky,
Let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

I was damned, and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved I was,
Kneeling in the chains
Of my master

I could laugh, oh, but you could cry
And I never knew just how high
I was flying, oh, with you
Right above me

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly California sand
Oh, I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levi's
Bursting apart

And don't you hear me crying,
"Oh, babe, don't go!"
And don't you hear me screaming,
"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting,
And there's a tank full of time
Oh, give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay

And I'm gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I'm gonna receive somebody with
Open eyes, open arms
Open up the sky
Let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

Whoa, for crying out loud,
You know I love you

For crying out loud,
You know I love you

For taking in the rain,
When I'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers
When I'm asking you why
And, my, oh my,
For that, I thank you

For taking in the sun
When I'm feeling so cold
For giving me a child
When my body is old
And don't you know
For that, I need you

For coming to my room
When you know I'm alone
For finding me a highway
For driving me home
And you've gotta know
For that, I serve you

For pulling me away
When I'm starting to fall
For revving me up
When I'm starting to stall
And all in all,
For that, I want you

For taking and forgiving
And for playing the game
For praying for my future
In the days that remain
Oh, Lord,
For that, I hold you

Oh, but most of all
For crying out loud,
For that, I love you

Whoa, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that, I love you

Whoa, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that I love you

When you're crying out loud
You know I love you
