\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Searching For Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the nights blend into days.<\/p>\n

My total world is one big haze.<\/p>\n

Drifting from one bar to another.<\/p>\n

Always searching for the other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Significant other that\u2019s mine alone.<\/p>\n

Someone I can take with me home.<\/p>\n

Each time it\u2019s always the same.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t find another to play the game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My temper is like a loaded pistol.<\/p>\n

My love is fragile as a crystal.<\/p>\n

I am asked \u201cDo your friends miss you?\u201d<\/p>\n

That is just that much more scar tissue.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just looking for someone to love.<\/p>\n

The answer is not in the stars above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m up or down.<\/p>\n

Each day is the same as I look around.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I feel I am getting close.<\/p>\n

Then it passes just like a ghost.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I want to change but, I am driven on.<\/p>\n

Some people think I am running a con.<\/p>\n

I just want someone who thinks like me.<\/p>\n

To share my moments of ecstasy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My temper is like a loaded pistol.<\/p>\n

My love is fragile as a crystal.<\/p>\n

I am asked \u201dDo your friends miss you?\u201d<\/p>\n

That is just that much more scar tissue.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just looking for someone to love.<\/p>\n

The answer is not in the stars above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My heart is strained from dusk till dawn.<\/p>\n

What I need is a magic wand.<\/p>\n

I could wave it toward that special one.<\/p>\n

She would come to me on the run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nights and days all blur together.<\/p>\n

I have pushed myself to the letter.<\/p>\n

If she is out there, she\u2019s playing coy.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s the end of the road for this boy.<\/p>\n
