Matt Wertz

Maybe you always learn the hard way
Maybe the only way is through
After all it does the same
You'll the only thing I know it;'s true

Either way either way
I am running back to you
Running back to you
Run away Run away
Coming right back to you
oh

Lately surrender isn't weary
But it's surrender all the same
All the spaces you've been filling
After all I'm the one who run away

Either way either way
I am running back to you
Running back to you
Run away Run away
Coming right back to you
Running back to you

Where I've been all these years with you beside me
I can't believe that you can love me all the same
How far I've grown and how I become, you always find me
After all I'm the one who run away

Either way either way
I am running back to you
I am running back to you

Either way either way
I am running back to you
Running back to you
Run away Run away
Coming right back to you
Running back to you
oh oh oh

Are you ready to here it
Got this feeling and I walk away
I don't know how to had it
So it's coming and I finally
say it
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
I can't wait any longer
I don't know if you can receive
My love keeps growing stronger
It's a yes
I can give everything
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life

Ooh Feel so right
Ooh Feel so right
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Ooh Feel so right
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life
Know I can love you
for the rest of my life

Listen close
The monuments are whispering your name
I'm standing strong
Knowing that we'll never be the same
It's getting hard to fake
CHORUS:
But as you go your own way
Remember, do not be afraid
because you're right where you should be
In Capitol City
Yeah, I know
There's better things right now for you than me
You're growing up


Those squinty eyes are just starting to see
Everything you need
BRIDGE:
Say the word
It's all I'd need
To catch a plane
Make you believe

I wanna dance with you in moonlight
I wanna kiss beneath the rain
Just wanna show you how I'm feeling
And wonder'n if you feel the same
I just can't wait until the day when all of this will come to be
All we gotta do is just believe
CHORUS:
It's better for you
It's better for me
If we just let things develop Naturally
If you are the one
We'll wait and see
For now we'll just let things develop Naturally, Naturally
There ain't no time for looking backwards


Ain't no room for keeping score
I wanna get to know you better
Find out what I am waiting for
BRIDGE:
If it's love that we're tryin to find
Patience will do us right
Naturally

Saturday, six hundred miles
Lie between the two of us
And telephones they can't replace
Me with you face to face

You gotta tell me it's true you feel the same
I'm so much better when I say your name

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight

Streetlights kissed upon your lips
My jealous eyes saw it all of it
Losing sleep, we learned to be
Me with you, you with me

You gotta tell me it's true you feel the same
I'm so much better when I say your name

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight, with you tonight

Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine, be just fine
Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine, be just fine
With you tonight, tonight, you tonight

I can feel you
Slippin' through my hands
And I can't stop it
And that's what gets me scared
It's in my leaving
That the sames begin to tear
But we made it once
and we'll make it through again
CHORUS:
And Hey, We'll be fine just like the last time, baby.
And you say, we'll be fine just like the last time,
fine just like the last time, baby
I can't tell you


What you mean to me
You're my constant
You're my consistancy
Everyone's changing
I barely recognize this town
You gotta promise me
That you'll always be around

I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
while the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there's no yield for what you've sown
I will not leave you all alone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need
I will not take my love away

I'd be lying through my teeth
If i told you that i'm ok
July came i thought i had it all together til you said i need some space
Truth be told its so hard to wait

One eye on the clock

I'm holding loose
I aint letting go

We both know that i could think myself dizzy
Right now i'm spinning around
You just said baby dont worry
But i just miss you right now
I said, i miss your right now

One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
Its 5:19 i'm feeling alone
If i could talk to you
I'd want you to know,
I'm holding loose but aint letting go

Baby take all the time you need
Cause i just want you to know
I'll be here, waiting...

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
Its 5:19 i'm feeling alone
If i could talk to you
I'd want you to know,
I'm holding loose but aint letting go

One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
Its 5:19 i'm feeling alone
And if i could talk to you
I'd want you to know,
I'm holding loose but aint letting go

Aint letting go...

Somedays are so bright
I wish I could save
Half the sunlight for a rainy day
So when it rains I'd have some sun
Somedays are so green
I wish I could keep
Half that color stored in me down deep
So when it's brown I'd have some green

It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)

Somedays I'm so close to you
That I can feel
That sweet song singing to me in my ears
Somedays I just don't want it to end
Somedays the rain comes pouring and the color fades
The music once so loud slips away
And I'm left standing all alone

It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)

'Cause good things come easily and good things go
Feelings are these feelings I'm feeling
So I can't let the joy be depending on the sunrays
Oh, somedays

It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)
It's already getting better (You will never leave me)

I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

You called me without warning
One Wednesday early morning
Now Wednesdays will never be the same again
Long distance call from Georgia
Sweet southern speak is what you gave to me
It was all I needed

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

Your face now burns in my head
And I can't shaking this feeling
That you could be the first to be my last
Before you call I'll answer
Before you speak I'll hear you
Just promise me you'll listen as i dream
And you'll find me

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

You were the last thing on my mind
The first thing on my lips
Staying up all night just to hear from you

'Cause I'm waiting on faith and compromise
I'm staying plastered to the floor tonight
Just hoping it'll be alright
'Cause I'm trading all my hopes and fears
Praying that all my expectations die
As I'm waiting up on faith and compromise

I wish I could say what words won't amount to,
But now I can't speak your name
Send it in a letter
Wait for your reply
Because you were on my mind

I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)

First star I see tonight hangs on my wall
Picture of you that's still there
Wouldn't change anything
Would you change me if I could
Would you want me to be here

I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)

Illusions all but faded
Sunlight beams in your hair
Trying me

I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)
I'm sorry Mary but it's over (you took the best out of me)

I flew in on a whim
These wings won't take me home
New eyes for my blind
I found a home and a place so far from my own

But all good things come to an end
Still I don't wanna leave this place yet
It's just so funny as I look back
on this year

(Chorus)
But I haven't even left here
Still I miss your face
Standing right beside me here
Pull me in with your embrace

How fast the time burns
When you're trying to hold on
And how slowly it slips away
When you're not

So tell me again
How this friendship has to be
I'm trying to understand now
Some paitence, and we'll see

(Chorus)
'Cause I haven't even left here
Still I miss your face
Standing right beside me here
Pull me in with your embrace

Have you ever looked so good to me?
Have you ever loved this way to me?

(Chorus)
Pull me in, pull me in, pull me in, pull me...in

Yesterday morning every part of her just shut down
Getting out of bed never felt so difficult before
Every step she took led to the wrong direction
And she never made it out her door

Yesterday morning Jamie yielded to all she hates
But if she despises it so much why did she give in
Seems like this battle just can't be won
And she's stuck there alone again.

She said I'm so tired of this stumble that I've been calling a walk
And so I'm sick of this mumble that I've described as a talk
And now I guess its time I lose myself
To the one who has found me here

Yesterday morning every part of her just shut down
All that she knew or thought she knew flew out that door
Things she loves so easily forgotten
Now Jamie can't love no more

She said I'm so tired of this stumble that I've been calling a walk
And so I'm sick of this mumble that I've described as a talk
And now I guess its time I lose myself
To the one who has found me here

These weeds keep poppin up
You thought you'd killed them all last week
Cause you dowsed them with that poison
Whose label read extra strength
But sure enough they're still there
Just as green as they'd been before
Strangling all the flowers
You'd created that garden for

You've tried all the external fix-it remedies
And you've exhausted every ounce of your own strength
But until you dig deep enough to find the root
All you're doin is, all you're doin is yankin out the leaves

You say, my sin keeps poppin up
Thought I'd killed it all last week
Cause I told myself I could stop it all
And I prayed I'd be released
But sure enough it's still there
Just the same as it'd been before
Distracting you from righteousness
And rotting out your solid core

My garden was once my favorite part about this place
Its beauty overshadowed all others in this town
You see, I hired a man to care for it and keep it
And he was the best gardener around

But soon my old pride got to thinkin
About doin' this job on my own.
I fired the man that perfectly had kept it
And that's when these weeds started a grow'n

Wouldn't it be cool
If it was our job to, write music for a living
You could come over every afternoon

We could record some songs
And have everyone sing along
Only stopping for dinner
Dinner with merry ends

But I never want to sell out, sell out to you
Sell out to you
No, I never wanna sell out, sell out to you
Sell out to you

We could invite our friends
Over for a jam, we could listen to Jimmy
Declare it for our lives

I probably would wait outside
Maybe you'll wait some night
We've got no place for tomorrow, except to do this all again

'Cause I never want to sell out, sell out to you
Sell out to you
No, I never wanna sell out, sell out to you
Sell out to you

And maybe then you'd see
Just what you mean to me
You know our lives would be so free, and nothing would get us down

I try leaving you at home
but every thought returns to you
My head, it seems to roam
no matter what I do...yeah yeah, oh no no

You know it's late right now
and every song sings of us
I guess these singers know somehow
and my life they must discuss...oh yeah

(Chorus)
'Cause I left the pictures of you behind
'cause I didn't want to dwell on you
But even the streets speak your name out here and
in last night's movie too, in last night's movie too

Mountains now in the rear view
as the tired road creeps on and on and on and on and on
Perhaps I'll leave you in Colorado
with this Monday morning fog

But the pictures await me back home, yeah
and there the streets whisper, whisper your name, yeah
escape it seems impossible...sometimes
and I'm the one to blame, yeah I'm the one to blame

(Chorus)
'Cause I left the pictures of you behind
'cause I didn't want to dwell on you
But even the streets speak your,
your sweet, your sweet name here
and last night's movie too, but last night's movie too

I've tried, I've tried leavin'
I've tried, I've tried leavin'
I've tried, I've tried leavin'
you behind, you behind (whole verse 2x)
...but you wouldn't stay
...but you wouldn't stay
Thank God you didn't.

Sixth and Green is the one place in November
When the air is cold and the leaves blow on the ground
And I don't think that I can even remember
Why it was that I came to this town

'Cause I just wanna be lonely tonight
Just me and my maker in this cold moon light
yeah yeah, oh yeah, alright

This is me on the eve of an ending
It's what i've known is constant for a year
I'm so scared this pain that I will be sending
Sometimes I just wanna run away in fear

'Cause I just wanna be lonely tonight
Just me and my maker in this cold moon light
yeah yeah oh yeah alright

I haven't heard your voice in two weeks now
Anticipations been wearing me thin
And I just can't help but wonderin baby if somehow
We can tear these pages out and begin again

'Cause I just wanna be lonely tonight
Just me and my maker in this cold moon light
Yeah I just wanna be lonely tonight
With no one around to see this sight
Of me lying here mmm yeah

'Cause this is the hardest thing i've ever done before
I said this is the hardest thing i've ever done before
I said this is the hardest thing i've ever done before
And I don't wanna be lonely
No, I don't wanna be lonely no more
And I won't be lonely tonight
'Cause my makers callin me

You say you want something rational
and you say you need a cold heart, fast
Do you realize how far you stray from truth
in your quest for your rational proof

(Chorus)
The song for the irrational
the song for the irrational
the song for the irrational

'Cause you say you want something rational
and you say you need miraculous sides
Excuse me if I'm the one, who's been mistaken here
But your logic seems to be a bit unclear

(Chorus)
The song for the irrational
the song for the irrational
the song for the irrational
the song for the irrational

(Organ solo)
(Guitar break)

'Cause what I've shown slips past your oh-so blurry eyes
As my soft touch knocked on those oh-so vicious lies

(Chorus)

Happytimes are here again
And I've been gone a while
But you can still call me friend
We can play in the sun and laugh forever
I'm so glad that we're back together

'Cause the wait's been good while I was gone
And the air's been high and free
You've been out with other guys
But I want you I want you to know
I want you to want me

I missed Wyoming and the cornerstone
But now I'm here and it's so good to be home
It seems like I've been gone forever
I'm so glad that we're back together

'Cause the wait's been good while I was gone
And the air's been high and free
You've been out with other guys
But I want you I want you to know
I want you to want me

I wanna go back to the nelson
Back out to the garden
I wanna drive with the top down and sing

That happytimes are here again
I've been gone a while but you can still call me friend
We can play in the sun and laugh forever
I'm so glad that we're back back together
