Everything is different now
Why are you so distant now?
Everything has changed,
Yeah nothing is the same
Since the day you went away,
Nothing feels at all okay with me
Don't you ever miss the midwest sunrise?
The view of the stars and the full moon at night
Cause ever since you left,
There\'s been an open hole in my chest
Yeah you left this boy such a mess
But I\'m hoping that my heart will find some rest tonight
I'll try to explain exactly why I've been crying all the time since you walked out of my life
Everything is different now
I've dialed your number, half a thousand times
Hoping just to hear your voice on the other line
I never had the courage to finally make that call
I've been missing you so much
Have you been missing me at all?
I need you here now, more than ever before
'Cause if you're not by my side
Then tell me what is worth living for?
I never had the courage to tell you how I feel
But honestly I've always loved you
And I promise I always will
Don't take your time coming home tonight
'Cause every second wasted
I'm here holding on for life
And with every breath I take I pray you're fine
That I'm the boy you can't get of your mind
I never had the courage to tell you this before
But every day away from you
If you hear this
Wherever you are
Just know I need you here
I need you near me now
You were brighter than the pale white moon
Reflected in your eyes
So I guess it's no surprise
I can't forget you
No matter what I do
I will always carry you
In my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change
Don't ever change
I just need to slow down for awhile
I'm missing your warm smile and the way you used to say
Stay with me until the daylight breaks
No matter what it takes
Just say you'll stay
Just say you'll stay
I will always carry you
In my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change
Your words are filled with honesty,
The kind I breathe, the kind that cuts me deep,
And I am grasping for air, I'm grasping for air now.
Yesterday feels like a fresh wound still I insist it's just a flesh wound,
This is my reply for all you've put me through.
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything,
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything.
Looking back at all the words I sent you,
I'm doing my best to forget you,
But still it remains, your name,
The bitter taste on my tongue,
I can't forget your kiss, or the venom on your lips,
This is gonna leave a scar, I am wounded.
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything,
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
You were so bitter for so very long,
I was young and refused to be wrong.
In the end we couldn't save
what we both helped to make.
Maybe I made some mistakes,
Maybe I've witnessed the way a heart breaks.
Maybe I should have done things differently,
but I didn't and we parted ways.
Who's to say things aren't better this way?
I swear that I'm sorry that I couldn't be the hero
that you wanted from me.
In the end we couldn't fix
what we both helped to break.
Maybe I made some mistakes,
Maybe I've witnessed the way a heart breaks.
Maybe I should have done things differently,
but I didn't and we parted ways.
Did you know you have a special way of turning around my terrible days?
You make all the bad things go away
the second that you say hello.
It's the way that you talk, that you laugh, that you smile.
If beauty was inches you'd go on for miles.
It's the way that you make everything seem worth while
the second that you say hello.
It's the way every love song reminds me of you.
Along with the stars and the sunset here too.
It's the way that you make the sky seem much more blue
the second that you say hello.
So if love is a drug then i guess i'm addicted.
All i want is to have yours.
It's making my heart sick.
Goodbye is what broke it and you were what fixed it
Lately I've been thinking hard
If life is a play what's my part?
Am I just meant to be a boy lost out at sea?
Cause I'm so much more
Chorus:
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail
And I'm alright, Yeah I'm just fine
Lately I've been thinking long
I have I been doing this all wrong?
Am i just meant to stay who I was yesterday?
Cause I'm so much more
Chorus:
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've never seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail
And I'm alright, yeah I'm just find.
Wait for sunset
I will fake my
I'll be back when I mistake come
So don't wave goodbye
No don't say goodbye to me
Just stay away from the seaside
Keeping your eyes on the distant horizon
Knowing that I'll be home soon
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've never seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail
I waited by the willow tree
Outside your parents house last night
Girl you know I warned you
Summer's coming soon
If you're gonna make a move
You better make your move
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast
But you know the thing i'll miss the most is you
Girl do you remember that time
I held your hands with mine
And we watched the stars come out that night
You said that your heart could
Hardly take the moons reflection on the glossy lake
And I just whispered "I love you"
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast
But you know the thing i'll miss the most is
If you miss me so much
That you can barely stand it
And your heart can hardly take
You know i'm never more than a phone call away
I won't hesitate to answer my phone
When your name shows up on my caller i.d
But you know i can't stay
Because summer is calling me
Calling me
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast
One two three four
Take me away to january I'm done with this year I tierd of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
There's gotta be something else out there for me, I can feel it in my heart the day I started to dream.
There's more than this midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down
So I tell myself...
There's a girl out on the coast of california, there's a world out there and it's waiting for you and I can hear them calling my name tonight...
Take me away I need the sand and the waves, the sunset, and lets not forget those warm autum days. I just need to get out of here... and vist the coast just to see her.
There's gotta be something else out there for me, I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream. there's more than this midwestern town. I can't let this place keep me down.
So I tell myself...
There's a girl out on the coast of california there's a world out there and it's waiting for you. and I can hear it calling my name tonight...
Well there's a girl out on the coast of california there's a world out there and it's waiting for you, and I can hear it calling my name tonight...
Spring is waking up the world here,
The end of school year.
And as summer draws near I'm growing anxious still.
Birds are singing in my backyard,
So the sun can't be too far off.
Painting the landscape with all it's golden rays.
And this is the last summer we'll have all to ourselves,
Before next year when we have to pack and move on out.
No matter what happens,
I'll miss the friends I've made in this town.
And I wish that time would just slow down.
I wonder what the future holds for me,
It's terrifying honestly.
You met her in summer
You thought that you loved her
And you called her yours by the springtime
But something was changing
And round came the fall
And by winter she ended it all
By winter she ended it all
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Oh be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Another summer just like all the others
And you fell in love by the springtime
But something was changing
And round came the fall
And by winter you ended it all
By winter you ended it all
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Oh be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
It was raining on the day when we first met but you held my hand and the sun came out.
I've been holding my breath ever since, cause it doesn't make sense how a princess like you could end up with a pauper like me.
The sun is pouring in,
through the window and right onto your skin.
And I've never seen a portrait quite so picturesque.
And the hours slip away,
I always struggle for the right words to say,
'Cause how could I try to describe in sentences,
that I can't believe that a girl like you exists.
So, don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out,
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about.
And just the thought of you sustains me and
that smile of yours can make the whole world new.
I love the way I feel when I'm with you.
When you say hello,
It makes me happier than you could ever know.
And the way you light up every room you've ever walked into,
makes me glad that I'm with you.
So, don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out,
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about.
Just the thought of you sustains me and
that smile of yours can make the whole world new.
I love the way I feel when I'm with you.
And the sun is pouring in,
Do you remember
The chill of the air in November
The autumn breeze wrapped us in blankets
As we held our breath and closed our eyes?
Do you recall that
We thought it would all last forever
The days of our youth and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?
But all good things must end
Do you remember
Watching the sunset together?
The rays of the sun lit up
Every last one of the memories
We held in our fists
And do you recall that
We always swore that we would never
Forget all those days and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?
But all good things must end
And we both knew
That we were just making
The poorest excuses like we all do
Just to feel like we have
Summer arrived on the back of a mockingbird.
It sang a sweet melody, but couldn't seem to find the right words.
I don't know if you've heard, but it's all over town,
Yeah they're buzzing about it now.
I was singing alone when the mockingbird came to me,
Perched on my windowsill, and hummed along quietly.
But before long she was singing along, and she said, yeah she said:
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,
Now I'm not alone."
Autumn was on it's way and summer was on it's way out;
The mockingbird told me: "I change with the seasons,"
And that she was leaving town in a few days now.
We said our goodbyes, and I secretly wished for more time,
But the seasons are merciless.
For a while we both stood in silence
Until she said:
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,
I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if I'm on your mind
Cause darling I know that you've been on mine
I'm writing from a hotel room
It's been so long since I've seen you
Away from me cause I will be home soon
And I, I've been trying to find
The perfect words to write to say you're always on my mind
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,
Mallory, Mallory
Your dark brown hair and hazel eyes
The way your hands just fits on mine
I wanna have you with me all the time
I know that it's been said before
I may not sound original
But every single day I love you more
And I, I've been trying to find
The perfect words to write to say you're always on my mind
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,
Mallory
And if you're feeling lonely and I'm far away from home
You can hear my voice just put this record on
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,
You can rest easy tonight
Everything is going to be alright,
I promise.
Go to sleep and dream of me tonight;
Everything may not be perfect,
But at least we tried.
So tonight,
Sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby
Tonight.
I know that this hurts you,
It hurts me, too.
I wish there was something I could do
To make it easier for you.
Sometimes it's tough,
Too soon to call it love,
But I wanted to,
yeah,I wanted to.
But it's too late now to say
All the wonderful things that I thought of you.
So tonight,
Sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby
Do you remember the summers, when we were still under the impression that time would stand still just for us.
Then like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
we couldn't even speak.
But i've made peace with the past, cause i've got something better than that. yeah, i've got something better than better than that.
i've got yoooouuuuuu.
And i've got love in the present tense. I've got yooouuuuuu.
And i've got more of this to look forward to.
.......
Do you remember the things we said, were matters of life and death.
Well they all seem less important to me now.
And like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
We couldn't even speak.
But i've made peace with the past, cause i've got something better than that. yeah, i've got something better than better than that.
I've got yooouuuuu.
And i've got love in the present tense. I've got yooouuuuu.
And i've got more of this to look forward to.
I've got yoooouuu. (I've got yooouuuuu)
And I've got love in the present tense.
Dear friends,
sometimes i know the world can get you down,
just know I'll always be around to talk about it.
And even when the night seems darkest
and hope is far away I'll be right beside you on that day.
No matter where our lives take us, even if we end up in diffrent places
I promise i'll always answer when you call..
And when you don't have a shoulder left to cry on,
I'll be the single thing you can rely on.
I'll promise ill be there to catch your tears as they fall.
Dear Friend,
I know sometimes that i have let you down,
just know I'll always be around and workin' on it.
And even when life seems the hardest and nothing feels okay,
I'll be right beside you on that day.
No matter where our lives take us, even if we end up in diffrent places
I promise i'll always answer when you call..
And when you don't have a shoulder left to cry on,
I'll be the single thing you can rely on.
I'll promise ill be there to catch your tears as they fall.
No matter where our lives take us, even if we end up in diffrent places
I promise i'll always answer when you call..
And when you don't have a shoulder left to cry on,
I'll be the single thing you can rely on.
every time i see your smile, it makes my heart beat fast,
and though its much too soon to tell, im hoping this will last,
cause i just always wanna have you right here by my side,
the future's near but never certain,
so please stay here for just tonight,
i must have done something right,
to deserve you in my life,
i must have done something right along the way.
i just can't get you off my mind and why would i even try?
even when i close my eyes; i dream about you all the time,
cause i just always wanna have you right here by my side,
the future's near but never certain,
at least stay here for just tonight,
i must have done something right,
to deserve you in my life,
i must have done something right along the way.
and even if the moon fell down tonight,
there'd be nothing to worry about at all
because you make my whole world shine.
as long as your here everything will be alright.
i must have done something right, to deserve you in my life,
I fell in love once before
Now I won't be fallin' for that anymore
Somewhere in your basement
I think I misplaced my heart
What did I do that for?
I don't want to see you
I don't want to hear your sweet voice
No I don't want to talk anymore
So if you happen to find it
I'd be much oblidged
if you'd drop it off at my front door
And don't leave a note 'cause I swear if you wrote me
I'd probably take it all back
And God only knows, I must stay on my toes
'Cause I can't allow myself to do that
I always wanted you to stay
But now I'm wishing you away
If this is what love feels like
I'm done with this
I fell in love once before
Now I won't be fallin' for that anymore
You'd whisper to me as we'd watch some TV
As we'd lay on your living room floor
I don't want to see you
I don't want to hear your sweet voice
No I don't want to talk anymore
So if you happen to think of me
Don't think that I will be waiting around like before
and don't call my phone
'cause I'm feeling alone
and I'd probably take it all back
And God only knows, I must stay on my toes
'Cause I can't allow myself to do that
I always wanted you to stay
But now I'm wishing you away
If this is what love feels like
I'm done with this
I fell in love once before
im growing up im working on these flaws of mine
im letting go of pride and shedding this disguise
im facing all the facts, im trying to improve
im cleaning up my act, and im doing it just for you
Chorus:
'Cause I am broken(I am broken would you fix me baby?)
but you are perfect(you are perfect would you fix me baby?)
and you are putting me together like a puzzle, piece by piece
darling don't you know your fixing me?
I am leaving for the road, and I am leaving you behind
but I swear I will come back, and I will call you every night
I am facing all my fears, and im trying to improve
I have been this way for years but I'd gladly change for you
(Chorus:)
And I never thought I could ever be with you
and I never wanted to change before,but now I do
cause I am broken and you are perfect
i keep staring out of this window
hoping that ill see you arrive
separated by all this distance
but darling it is so worth the drive
so it should come as so no surprise
that i love seein my reflection in your eyes,
and i know why, yeah i know why,
your an angel comin down
you are my anchor in the sound
and i am thankful for the way you keep me grounded but you are taking off again
it seems you never get to spend more then a couple days with me here on this planet
you drive me crazy with the way that i sit
around your way just to see
that perfect smile again
oh that grin
i wanna follow you wherever go and you know that i would
if you'd just say that you are stayin for good.
you keep leaving before im ready,
to let you go and im left alone.
and right now you come down to visit but darlin one day itll be home.
so it should come as so no surprise
that i love seein my reflection in your eyes,
and i know why, yeah i know why,
your an angel comin down
you are my anchor in the sound and i am thankful for the way you keep me grounded
but you are taking off again
it seems you never get to spend
more then a couple days with me here on this planet
you drive me crazy with the way that i sit
around your way just to see
your perfect smile again, oh that grin,
One more year and I'll be heading out on my own
Leaving friends and the place that I call home,
I don't wanna go
I just need to know that I can come back
I need to know, I only need to know that
You'll be here when I come back home
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss
All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling
One more year, we'd better make the best of this one
You just can't beat the weather here in autumn
Please stay close to me
I just need to know you're gonn call me
I need to know that everything will all be okay
While I'm away
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss
All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling
(2x)
Over you and me, darling
