Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Babe, tomorrow's so far away
There's something 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 want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Would you turn out the lights and walk away
Knowin' I love you?
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 want to be free?
Are you ready for me to feel this way?
I don't want to lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today, will you turn me away and let me go?
I don't want to lose you
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 (oh girl)
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 (oh-oh)
And, feelin' the way I do
I don't want to wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you
There's something 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 want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Would you turn out the lights and walk away
Knowin' I love you?
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 want to be free?
Are you ready for me to feel this way?
I don't want to lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today, will you turn me away and let me go?
I don't want to lose you
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 (oh girl)
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 (oh-oh)
And, feelin' the way I do
I don't want to wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Your mama forgot the 'A' in your name ;) Just joshing you. I love the band (best debut album ever), but I don't care for the song. The lyrics are simple and poignant, but the "sound" of this song just doesn't sit right with me (nor left, for that matter. Arrr Arrrr Arrrr). I guess it just sounds boring to me. I would have preferred a more upbeat rhythm (did I spell THAT correctly?) to go with the feel of the lyrics.
