So you left without a Dear John letter Late at night on a fourth of july Didn't tell us, just walked away I never heard a "goodbye" People say it'll never be the same here I think they might be half right And there's a part of me (truly the best of me) That hopes it's gonna be fine
Tell me it's changing There's a better way To get some blue from the grey
I got the rest of my life to get some good sleep at night But for now I will wait I'm gonna wait for the time When we're all sleeping just fine Maybe there's a better way
Faces come faces go like the city Nobody sees past the grave Hope is here for today not forever If it stays it's a waste You never wore so thin as the other ones You'd always say what you meant I wanna be the one who discovers What were you fighting for? why can't you fight anymore?
I don't know when it happened Maybe I never did But you're always in my heart That's what you said
He's been tired. Tired of the way that she holds him down But h's too worn out To ever say how he really feels So he goes through the days And nothing ever happens And she hopes nothing will She knows he'll never be happy And he knows that now he can't pretend anymore She thinks he's fine But he dreams at night Of so much more
He dreams all night Dreams about the day he can leave this life But the time's not right This town has everything that's he's seen So now tonight he's packing up and moving away For the first time ever Nothing's gonna get in his way Nothing's gonna get in his way
So he drives all night Nothing fazes him anymore At the first sunlight he stops the car and opens the door And the tears they come deeper now than oin the past Like his first sunrise And nothing ever happened so fast She knows that now he's really gone for good Back at home All she can do is Wish that she could
She dreams all night Dreams about the day she can leave this life But the time's not right This town has everything that's she's seen So now tonight she's packing up and moving away For the first time ever Nothing's gonna get in her way Nothing's gonna get in her way
no, no. And you dream all night Dream about the day you can leave this life. But the time's not right This town has everything that you've seen So now tonight Just pack it up and move it away For the first time ever Nothing's gonna get in your way Now baby Nothing's gonna get in your
You dream all night Dream about the day you can leave this life But the time's not right This town has everything that you've seen So why not tonight Just pack it up and move it away? For the first time ever Nothing's gonna get in your way Now baby I'm not gonna get in your way No, no Your way no,no I'm not gonna get in your way.
Blast my way right through your eyes with these words I feel alright: "I'm leaving you tonight". Taking me for granted came so easy I was always there you can't deny it Guess it comes as a shock to you, over and over "what did I do" Can't explain it I feel it I need to believe me I'm leaving you
Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground Your tears tears me apart but I don't want to turn around
Guess this is what I get for my leaving you... Right now
Makeup running down your face, I miss your touch need your taste-can't go back now Begging me you plead with me, wishing I would never leave, almost at the door now What can I do but stay with you you never mean the things you do No I can't believe that What you want it's never fair it's what you get you're never there You're alone again
Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground Your tears tear me apart but I don't want to turn around
I keep telling you that I'm leaving now Somehow I'm still here I want you to know I'm leaving now
Driving home on a black night highway And it comes back to me Nights sitting in the sun room hometown Just you and me We got the people on the left and the guitar on the right We got ourselves a party We played all night back then and here I am driving home
I'm just getting started, how about you? I'm just getting started, how about you?
You were gonna be a roadie for Nirvana I was gonna be on MTV We were gonna throw the ultiimate party If we ever got a high school degree You were gonna marry your girlfriend I was never gonna fall in love We were gonna get out of here We knew it wasn't all there was
In the country, the city The bright lights, the big town The big ups, the big down Baby I've been all around And below and wherever I go It's enough just to know You're never gonna let me down
Tick tock to the never gonna stop rock Get out gonna never get give it up Everybody do it some more
I am edging toward the ocean One step at a time I am holding my breath watching for water Honey give me a sign A wink of an eye I'm getting closer Walk away I'm landlocked as I can be
I want to be the one who discovers I want to feel the water carry me Carry me to you (I'm gonna find you) Carry me to you (you're all I need) Carry me to you (I'm gonna save you) Carry me to you (come back to me)
I am searching on the fault lines For a crack in the door A tremor I know I'm on to something A quake and I found what I was looking for Come back to me I almost lost you
So I'm moving one one town one day Lines are blurring slowly fade away And I always feel a little forgotten You give me something that you've never wanted
It's nice to know that I've been there before But nothing's changed I'm at the bottom again, And I'm watching myself falling back in You know all that you said wasn't true Just blaming the world for what happens to you
So we're talking we're here again I'm just waiting, things come crashing in And I always feel a little bit hopeless I try my best and you never notice
At least you know I've been there before I'm trying to change I'm at the bottom again, And I'm watching myself falling back in You know all that you said wasn't true Just blaming the world for what happens to you
What did you do with my loneliness What did you do with my cloudy skies? What did you do with everything I was baby what can you do with that love?
There you go doing it again
You call me up you're on the phone You need me there you're all alone I would if i could but there's a little complication My life's got me in a sticky situation There's the people I love and the things that I do It all comes together to keep me from you
You tell me all about the things you miss You tell me what's on your mind I might turn right around and head Straight back to town if you keep feeding me those lines
So I'm walking down the avenue Holding on so tight to what I said to you In between my jaw and my belly where it burns Is what I meant to do Taking it in take a hit on the chin Keep your chin up, nothing's forever Baby your loving can change like the weather Everybody got their problems
That's how I know You know how love goes
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
That's how I know You know how love goes
Playing the games, we were born to play You go this way I'll go away Till you stop baby you never listen How you know what you have been missing? Your loving can keep us together Everybody got their brighter side You just gotta hope it'll be alright
Still it's all that I wait for These years that I'd hoped for The keeping together, the falling apart It's you that I'll be for, forever each other Together through nights we will see through the dark
That's how I know You know how love goes
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you But all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
I thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms Late last night night What I wanted to say was I love you forever But it didn't come out right All I could say was I'm cold give me covers Could you turn out the light? And we laughed at ourselves for our serious nature And what could have been a fight
You know I've been watching you all day long The way we look at each other The way you sing our songs I can't wait till we get home Because that's when I know At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby
When you walk down the street they all stop and they stare You know the way it is out there He's either looking at you or he's looking at me Get in the car, give me the keys Let's drive down the middle of the city block Roll down these windows and show them what I got I found this sweet thing out there But she's mine and not yours so what do you care?
I'm the one who calls you baby in the morning I'm the who gets to tuck you in at night I'm the one who says baby forever Baby together Everything's just fine
You know I've been watching you all day long The way we laugh at each other The way you sing our songs I can't wait till we get home Because that's when I know
At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby
Thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms Late last night What I wanted to say was I love you forever But it didn't come out right
You know I've been watching you all day long The way we look at each other The way you sing our songs I can't wait till we get home Because that's when I know At the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby
I'm not so weak Or so you seem to think You walk right by The words trip on my pride There was a time when nothing went my way Feels like that now But really I feel ok
I ran right in To a storm inside your eyes Pick up the keys And then just start to drive The road blurs by Every tear is like a clue I pick them up And follow them back to you
I do Really I feel ok I'm fine This is gonna make me strong
I'm not so strong Or so I seem to think You walk right by And I make my knees get weak This time, stand tall See what it does do you You walk right by And nobody has a clue
I do Really I feel ok I'm fine This is why I'm moving on
I've been holding my breath because you told me to If the summer's gonna come then me and you Better get in the car we'll just drive out Far enough away so they can't find out What it means to be alive
Sun soaks in and your skin smells warm Like the last time I tried to move on Game plays on, standing outside our door But we stand strong, don't need this anymore (cuz we know) What it means to be alive
Taking time from the sweet sleep Slide down, I'd fall right to me knees She holds on tight now Let the whole world spin right into me You build me up inside
Turn around take the face off Don't gotta like what you see Walking here turns my heart round Her hand keeps the whole world steady
Don't you let it Get you down because You build me up inside
Better watch what you wish for Trust me, it comes before you know I can't remember Ever wanting to say no to you Cuz you build me up inside Build me up
Don't you let it Get you down because You build me up inside You build me up inside
Sleeping in saturdays Taking time to get to know your face Breathing in your smell on me I'm addicted you know to vanilla these days Butterfly kisses and the promise you'll spend all night this time I just want to say thank you For taking a chance on a feeling inside So here's a love song for all the times you felt second place And here's a love song for all the smiles that come when i see your face Here's a love song I walk into the winter night The city lights take the place of stars in your eyes I lost the moon again Or i'll stop looking i guess When love caught me by surprise You're gonna be hard to get over So i won't i don't think for a very long time And in the summer I'll warm your bed if you can promise you'll warm mine And here's a love song for all the times i fell into your eyes And here's a love song for all the things you taught me last night Here's a love song Here's a love song for all the things that you never said Here's a love song for the night you left your place at the end of my bed Here's a love song
So I read all your letters I read every word And I took all the best ones Circled every word I heard If I'd heard it in a phone call Or I heard it in a song And as I walked to your apartment I tried to figure what went wrong
There was a party that night I walked in uninvited Was a girl in the corner Who looked like she liked me And I didn't know her name But she said she knew mine And nothing really mattered And that was the first time The first time
And I remembered your voice And I remembered what you said And I remembered how this killed me With every tear that I bled With every step came a memory And every breath sang along And as I walked up to your front door I think I knew where I went wrong
There was a party that night I walked in uninvited Was a girl in the corner Who looked like she liked me And I didn't know her name But she said she knew mine And nothing really mattered And that was the next time That was the next time
Remembered every word she said Remembered everything I'd left And her eyes are clear like those tears that She gave me And so it starts over again Again
There was a party that night I walked in uninvited Was a girl in the corner Who looked like she liked me And I didn't know her name But she said she knew mine And nothing really mattered And that was the next time
A party that night I walked in uninvited Was a girl in the corner Who looked like she liked me And I didn't know her name But she said she knew mine And nothing really mattered And that was the next time
There was a party that night I walked in uninvited Was a girl in the corner Who looked like she liked me And I didn't know her name But she said she knew mine And nothing really mattered And that was the last That's the last time Baby I promise it's the last time The last time That's the last time
So here we are into what seems like forever Look how this goes So here I am in what seemed like it'd never Look how no one knows So are we gonna prove em wrong all over again? One year so close I wouldn't give you up for anything you know Unless of course you chose
It's funny how nothing ever comes out the way I plan It's funny how you always come out right in the end And it's funny how what's hard to see Now will never Be this clear again
So everything that I thought that I knew Nothing to lose And everytime that I turn around to face you I thought that this was true So is everything just gonna stay the same? Sometimes these things just go away I would've done it all over this way Unless of course you'd changed
It's funny how nothing ever comes out the way I plan It's funny how you always come out right in the end And it's funny how what's hard to see Now will never Be this clear again
And i know it seems impossible Everything's impossible these days I know it seems like it's been years Since I saw you--maybe it has I know I said I'd never forgive you I'll never forgive you, at least not yet
Now it's easy to let go And now it's easy to say no And everything gets clearer now But strange enough I can't get out and you and YOU
And it hardly seems unfair to say You broke my heart and I'm walking away I know I said I'll never love you I'll always love you, that's why I hate tonight
Now it's harder to let go And now it's harder to say no And now I'm in I can't get out But strange enough it's clearer now and you and YOU
And i know it seems impossible Everything's impossible these days I know I said I'll never love you I'll always love you, that's why I hate tonight I hate tonight, I hate tonight, I hate tonight
And the wind outside is painful And there's that man I used to know Drumming buckets like it's Friday I guess he doesn't know That time stands still for no one Not on a bright December night It's funny how this winter sky Makes me wish that you were right
And you know me well enough To know I don't want to go But I know the winter snow Don't fall Down the coast of Mexico
And sometimes I feel like fighting All this frost on my mind It's hard to remember The cooling rain in hot july But nothing seems as easy As saying you'll say goodbye And nothing comes so hard As when you start to cry
And you know me well enough To know I don't want to go But I know the winter snow Don't fall Down the coast of Mexico
Well it's awhite moon in December skies The cold air makes it inside And these street lamps they leave no suprise But help me get deep into your eyes
There's something about the way you disappear 6:45 on a Saturday And everytime that train takes you away I go blind until the next time you stay
Missed the bus another time Keeping you away some kinda a game He came and left a note in my hands I wonder, does this man feel the same? Can he feel the same way?
Something about the way you never came 6:45 on a Saturday And this time you say the train just never came So I'll wait until the next time you stay
Well these blue eyes, dark nights, take me away I feel so alone inside your arms Weekdays, weak knees leave me tired And you're gone until the next time....
March or April I always forget Doesn't matter spring will never come Sat alone in a subway again Just want to go back home
Something about the way we ended here 6:45 on a Saturday This train takes me deeper underground And I'm alone and you can't call and say
Blue eyes, and these dark nights, take me away I feel so alone inside your arms Cuz these weekdays, and these weak knees leave me tired And you're gone until the next time....
