Rena

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
