I got my plans 
From trembling hands 
I knew just what to do 
Follow each step carefully 
And hope they pulled me through 
My father ran 
To different lands 
And not a word we spoke 
But I was here 
To conquer fear 
And bring some glory home 

There's a world of hate and sorrow 
Out there standing in your way 
There's a load of compromise 
Before you die 
And each time you step forward you get burned a little bit 
No longer know the way 
To say goodbye 
Now I'm down here underneath 
Your bedroom light 
Rena please come out 
With me tonight 

I look in through 
The window 
And I though I'd take 
My chance 
I taught myself to play 
So I could be where people danced 
No higher call 
Than stars that fall 
I waited patiently 
A thousand miles of pavement 
That became my destiny 

You can wait a lonely lifetime 
Wondering when it's gonna come 
You can while away the hours 
Getting stoned 
But one day you get lucky 
And you look in someone's eyes 
That tell you you don't 
Have to be alone 
Now I'm falling back 
Just out of your sight 
Rena please come out 
With me tonight 

Oh now I know the way things go 
And what I put you through 
Cause when they try to get to me 
They get to me through you 

I know it's not the kind of hurt 
That's easily set right 
And I know you got your reasons 
To stay inside 
But nothing ever happens 
When it's left out on it's own 
You locked in there with 
Just your wounded pride 
I'm down here and I'm 
Way too tired to fight 
Rena please come out 
With me tonight 
Rena please come out 
With me tonight
