On this coldest of January nights
We're trying to pass the runway, and watch the planes go flying by The runway lights are the deepest blue, like the color of your eyes So, close them tight and kiss me one last time If you could go anywhere right now, Where would you go? And would you miss me when you get there? There's no place that I would rather be Please don't let me go falling from the sky This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be, right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here Ask for customs, carry-on, remember To shut off all of your electronic devices Fell asleep on Tuesday, woke up Monday afternoon I slept right through your international dateline If you could go anywhere right now, Where would you go? And would you miss me when you get there? There's no place that I would rather be Please don't let me go falling from the sky This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be, right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here Please don't let me go falling from the sky This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be, right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here Please don't let me go falling from the sky This "fasten seatbelt" sign just needs to go out If only you could be, right here by my side Home wouldn't seem so far from here |

Here in this diary I write you visions of my summer It was the best I ever had There were choruses and sing alongs and that unspoken feeling of knowing that right now is all that matters All the nights we stayed up talking listening to 80's songs and quoting lines from all the movies that we loveIt still brings a smile to my face I guess when it comes down to it being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up These are the best days of our lives The only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll get it right Breaking into hotel swimming pools and wreaking havoc on our world Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the timeThe blacktop singing me to sleepLighting fireworks in parking lots illuminate the blackest nights Cherry cokes under the moonlit summer sky2015 Riverside, it's time to say goodbye Get on the bus, it's time to go being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up These are the best days of our lives The only thing that mattersis just following your heart and eventually you'll get it right

I got your letter and the poems that you sent to me.
Postmarked in December of last year, I really hope you're doing better, all of your friends close by your side. One step closer to recovery. I wish there was something I could say to erase each and every page that you've been through even though it's not my place to save you. I appreciate but can't accept this thank you note that's sealed with your last breath, I won't stand aside and listen to you give up. If you'll just hold on for one more second. Just hold on to what you have. If you'll just hold on, just hold on. You will wake up tomorrow. These arms remain stretched out to you. Maybe someday you'll accept them or maybe it's too late to save a young girl's heart that's long stopped breathing. Wake up, wake up, you've gotta believe. Wake up, wake up, you can't give up. Time keeps going on without us long after we're dead and gone. |

If I die tomorrow, would this song live on forever??
Here is my… unopened letter to a world that never shall reply. From this second story window I can hear the church bells calling out my name. This table is set for one. Even angels would be homesick for this forsaken town. On random notes of parchment, I'm scrawling my existence, dressed in white. This candle radiates throughout the night and it's never burning out. From this second story window I can hear the children down on main street. They're singing their songs tonight. In the shadows I will listen to their every movement. Mr. Higginson, am I not good enough for the world? Am I destined only to die the same way that I lived… in seclusion. From high upon this mountain I can almost see your lonely windowsill. They'll carry you off tonight. There's a ghost in your old bedroom and a candle burning bright. If I die tomorrow would this song live on forever? |

Only two more days until your birthday,
yesterday was mine. You'll be turning five. I know what it's like growing up without your father in your life. So I pretend I'm doing all I can and hope someday you'll find it in your heart to understand why I'm not around and forgive me for not being in your life. I remember waiting for you to come. Remember waiting for you to call. Remember waiting there to find nothing at all. Maybe someday you'll really get to know me not just from letters read to you. I pray I get the change to make it up to you. We've got a lot of catching up to do. |

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You g |

30th of April, seems like yesterday.
We bought a house above the ocean where our kids could laugh and play. I called you from Paris to tell you that I wrote our names on the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower. Remember those nights, playing ""Summer wind"" on the juke box of the bar we used to go. We made out in the bathroom and you walked me to my house, I tried to convince you not to go home. If only i had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go. Italy isn't the same without you here. If only I had one wish, I'd want a million tillion lifetimes that I could spend with you... Fall in love with you again and again. 1st of November, 1998. I was thinking of what to say when I could call. Denice come over to my house, cuz you're the one for me. We'll drink cheap wine and watch more shooting stars. Remember our first apartment? Our couch was never big enough for two. Still, we'd fall asleep in eachother's arms and wake up on the floor. Now looking back it was made for me and you. If only I had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go. Japan is really nice this time of year. If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes that I could spend with you... Fall in love with you again and again. |

These hospital walls are the palest of white.
Here in this desert they're reciting my last rites. The smell of these halls bring temporary comfort as the oxygen flows through my blood. El corazon was poisoned tonight… She's on her eight of nine. When half of all your prayers are insincere, the other half are lies. Here is this watermark under this bridge. The point where it all crested, rolled back and drifted into the sea. I climb from this wreckage as the smoke begins to clear from my lungs. The closest of close calls has happened tonight. It's time that I made things right for the first time, since the last time. Let this moment of clarity lift this curse that has been cast upon me. Appreciate the good times, but don't take the worst for granted. 'Cause you only get so many second chances. |

i won't spend another night alone
A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by, The lights below...they spell out your name. You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time. And lot's of feeling that I can't explain. I won't spend another night alone. Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete I'd ditch em all for a night with you. I know you don't believe you mean this much to me But I promise you that you do. If I had one wish this is what it would be... I'd ask you to spend all your time with me, That we'd be together forever. We'd buy a small house in south central L.A. Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang Just as long as we're together. The things you make me wanna do I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free Just as long as you'd be with me. |
