Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wastin' my time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
So I'm runnin' back to tell you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do, yeah
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughin' with you
I'm thinkin' 'bout all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through, yeah
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Know there's no life after you
Doesn't come down when she calls, "It's time for breakfast"
Momma can't get down those halls fast enough to see
Glass is sprayed across the floor from the broken window
She can't breathe anymore, can't deny what we know
They're gonna find you, just believe
You're not a person, you're a disease
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
Broken homes from separation
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see
Never gonna let you take my world from me
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing
But you ain't coming in, but you ain't coming in
Posters hung on building walls
Of missing faces
Months go by without the cause
The clues or traces
They're gonna find you, just believe
You're not a person, you're a disease
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
Broken homes from separation
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see
Never gonna let you take my world from me
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing
But you ain't coming in
Shed the light on all the ones
Who never thought they would become
A father, mother asking
Why this world can be so cold?
Doesn't come down when she calls
"It's time for breakfast"
The memories begin to fall
She asks, "When will I be free?"
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
Broken homes from separation
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see
Never gonna let you take my world from me
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing
But you ain't coming in
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
All these lives that you've been taking
Deep inside, my heart is breaking
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing
I open my lungs to breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now reminders of how I used to be
And on down the road my troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window, the hell if I know where I will go
So I'll just keep on driving
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight, Tennessee line just changed my mind
Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time
Who would've known that pride is so hard to swallow?
As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder
With the trouble I own, should I just keep on driving?
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight, Tennessee line just changed my mind
Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time
I know I must be doing something right
Head the other way, back to where I started out
Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
And stop living with doubt
On my way to L.A. looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right every wrong turn that I've learned
So this can all end tonight, Tennessee line just changed my mind
Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time
I've sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
It's my heart I'll follow this time
I've sworn off my past, first to last bad call that I ever made
I'm gonna turn it all around tonight, turn it all around tonight
Turn it all around tonight
our time's just another let down
white lies tearin' up a small town
lost cause, someone's gotta break through
coin toss, give away your next move
so much talkin', left with walkin'
is this really what we wanted?
i don't think we'll ever know
know you're sayin' hell we're payin'
everything we want is fadin'
faster than you'll ever know
can you see the signs?
have we lost our minds?
looks like we've fallen
feels like we've fallen
down and down we go
never felt so low
can't hear you callin'
so maybe we're already gone
maybe we're already gone!
caught up, temporary meltdown
so what, it doesn't matter right now
right now, anyhow
after somethin', all or nothin'
goes right by ya, sends no motion
why we let it take control?
know you're sayin' hell we're payin'
everything we want is fading
and all is lost and heaven knows
can you see the signs?
have we lost our minds?
looks like we've fallen
feels like we've fallen
down and down we go
never felt so low
can't hear you callin'
so maybe we're already gone
maybe we're already gone!
we'll make it through
yeah, there's nothing else that we can do
can you see the signs?
have we lost our minds?
looks like we've fallen
feels like we've fallen
down and down we go
never felt so low
can't hear you callin'
so maybe we're already gone
can you see the signs?
have we lost our minds?
looks like we've fallen
maybe we're already
down and down we go
never felt so low
can't hear you callin'
You never said, you never said, you never said that it would be this hard
Love is meant to be forever, now or never seems to discard
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you hear me when I call your name?
And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?
When I call your name
Complicated situations are the makings of all that's wrong
And I've been standing in the river of deliverance way too long
There's gotta be a better way for me to say
What's on my heart without leaving scars
So can you hear me when I call your name?
So can you hear me when I call your name?
And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?
You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name
You never said, you never said, you never said, you never said
When I call your name
And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
Can you hear me when I call your name?
And when you fall apart am I the reason for your endless sorrow?
There's so much to be said
And with a broken heart your walls can only go down but so low
It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did
But never did a thing about it 'til I let you in
It's kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart
You came and put me back together, now
'Cause what I want and what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering as days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done
But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run"
Givin' me a name, I found myself inside all the flames
Becoming everything for you again
'Cause what I want and what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering as days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
Don't tell me you saw it all along
God help me, I never knew it alone
Guess I was wrong
What I want and what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering as days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering, you've taken me
Shadows fill an empty heart as love is fading
From all the things that we are but are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars and make it to the dawn?
Change the colors of the sky and open up to
The ways you made me feel alive, the ways I loved you
For all the things that never died
To make it through the night, love will find you
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late, what about now?
The sun is breaking in your eyes to start a new day
This broken heart can still survive with a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side, where love will find you
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late, what about now?
Now that we're here, now that we've come this far
Just hold on
There is nothing to fear, for I am right beside you
For all my life, I am yours
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late, baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late, what about now?
A single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
A year from the day she said goodbye
Seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow
But as they laid him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes
A single lifetime lays behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand she softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Lost from the start, I might as well be on the moon
Much colder than I thought even in the month of June
No communication makes you feel so alone
Well, all we need is patience of which I've never really known
But now it's too late, it's taking over me, it feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way, it's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
And no matter how I try you know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural
Every step I've taken has led me here to where you are
But all that I believe in is keeping me from seeing too far
Throwing out the questions, waiting for the right reply
Looking for the answers, tell me will it be tonight?
But now it's too late, it's taking over me, it feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way, it's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
When it's more than physical it's kind of hard to see beyond the glow
And no matter how I try you know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural
Through the atmosphere I'm seeing
Glimpses of the past I'm leaving
Holding on for life as we collide
Now it's too late, it's taking over me, it feels so supernatural
And I'm pulled the other way, it's more than I can take
And I'm losing hold of everything
When it's more than physical it's kind of hard to see beyond the glow
And no matter how I try you know I can't deny
'Cause you feel so supernatural
Feel so supernatural, feel so supernatural
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
far away in another place
i'd give my soul just to see her face
found a note hidden in my suitcase
of everything that you just couldn't say
how'd you know i needed that today?
wherever you are is where i want to be
look around and tell me what you see
everything, everything but me
no matter how many miles stand in between
in my heart is where you'll be
holdin' on to all our dreams
with everything, everything but me
lookin' through photographs today
different times always seem the same
then i saw a picture of your smile
something i haven't seen in a while
you know the one, the one you loved to hate
but every time it takes my breath away
wherever you are is where i want to be
look around and tell me what ya see
everything, everything but me
no matter how many miles stand in between
in my heart is where you'll be
holdin' on to all our dreams
with everything, everything but me
do you know how much it hurts to know
and leave it all behind, leave it all behind
i see you in my mind
'cause you are right there all the time
far away in another place
give my soul just to see your face
wherever you are is where i want to be
look around and tell me what ya see
everything, everything but me
no matter how many miles stand in between
in my heart is where you'll be
holdin' on to all our dreams, yeah
no matter how many miles stand in between
in my heart is where you'll be
holdin' on to all our dreams
with everything, everything but me
Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground,
And it's too late now to put out the fire,
Tables turned, and I'm the one who's burning out,
Well I'm doing alright,
'Til I close my eyes
And then I see your face,
And it's no surprise.
[Chorus]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallowed my pride,
Now I'm crawling back to you,
I'm out of my head,
Can't wait any longer,
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger,
Just like that, like you said I'd do,
I'm crawling back to you.
Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel,
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread, when everything is said, I will regret it, yeah,
I was doin' alright, thought I could make it,
Then I see your face and it's hard to fake it.
[Chorus]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallowed my pride,
Now I'm crawling back to you,
I'm out of my head,
Can't wait any longer,
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger,
Just like that, like you said I'd do,
I'm crawling back to you.
If you could find a way, to forgive everything, I know you would.
And I would take it all back, give if only I knew that I could.
Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground.
And it's too late now, to put out the fire.
[Chorus]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,
I swallowed my pride,
Now I'm crawling back to you,
I'm out of my head,
Can't wait any longer,
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger,
Just like that, like you said I'd do,
I'm crawling back to you.
Take, take your time.
Smell the roses, but steal the vines.
Don't wait for the hands of time
To second guess and change your mind.
And shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Replace, replace that line
That spoke to you
And showed no signs to be alive.
So are you livin' or dead?
You have made a choice to hear your voice
Or hold on to what they said.
Now, shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Back again, back again.
Back again, back again.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I will take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything,
And I can't deal with that.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can't let it bring us down.
My life with you means everything,
So I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood.
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
We can't let this get away.
Let it out, let it out.
Don't get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
Let's start over.
It's not over, yeah...
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
You, you got me thinking it'll be alright
You, you told me, "Come and take a look inside"
You believed me, every single lie
But I, I failed you this time
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight, tonight
I was waiting for the day you'd come around
I was chasing, but nothing was all I found
From the moment you came into my life
You showed me what's right
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight
I never felt like this before
Just when I leave, I'm back for more
Nothing else here seems to matter
In these ever changing days
You're the one thing that remains
I could stay like this forever
And it feels like tonight
I can't believe I'm broken inside
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
And it feels like tonight, tonight
And it feels like tonight, tonight
And it feels like tonight
'Cause there's nothing that I wanna do
But try to make it up to you
Open up the book you beat me with again
Read it off one sentence at a time
I'm tired of all the lines, convictions and your lies
What right do you have to point at me?
Well, I'm sitting alone thinking about it all over coffee
And still crowding my space
Are the things you still hold against me
You cannot save me
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to break up this love
Keep it together now, well, it's not the time to break
Read it all, no need for separating here
You see what you want and try to justify
All your little lines, convictions and your lies
What right do you have to point at me?
Well, I'm sitting alone thinking about it all over coffee
And still crowding my space
Are the things you still hold against me
You cannot save me
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to break up this love
Keep it together now, well, it's not the time to break
Open up the book you beat me with again
Read it off one sentence at a time
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to breakdown
Well, it's not the time to break up this love
You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around.
You used to lean on me like
The only other choice was falling down.
You used to walk with me like
We had nowhere we needed to go,
Nice and slow, to no place in particular.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I used to reach for you when
I got lost along the way.
I used to listen.
You always had just the right thing to say.
I used to follow you.
Never really cared where we would go,
Fast or slow, to anywhere at all.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be?
I look around me,
And I want you to be there
'Cause I miss the things that we shared.
Look around you.
It's empty, and you're sad
'Cause you miss the love that we had.
You used to talk to me like
I was the only one around,
The only one around.
We used to have this figured out;
We used to breathe without a doubt.
When nights were clear, you were the first star that I'd see.
We used to have this under control.
We never thought.
We used to know.
At least there's you, and at least there's me.
Can we get this back?
Can we get this back to how it used to be? Yeah.
To how it used to be.
To how it used to be, yeah.
To how it used to be.
With time to kill and an empty tomb
I always find a way to pass the time with you
Dark and smoky rooms, I can hardly stand the fumes
Telling me that you mean no harm
You stand me up like a crutch, another arm
But only when I'm gone have I been away too long
No, you don't belong to me, I think you lied to me
And with my back against this wall, it's hard to be strong
No, you'd tell me anything, look what you've done to me
Still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone, whoa whoa
Any given time or place I never will forget the disgrace on
Your face so full of love, will it ever be enough?
10 feet tall and bullet proof, I never thought that I had a thing to lose
Well, it looks like after all I'm gonna have to choose
No, you don't belong to me, I think you lied to me
(Against the wall)
And with my back against this wall, it's hard to be strong
No, you'd tell me anything, look what you've done to me
(You don't belong)
Still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone
You help pass the time, but I'm doing fine on my own
So there's no good reason why to live such a lie
Tell me have I been gone away too long?
No, you don't belong to me, I think you lied to me
(Against the wall)
And with my back against this wall, it's hard to be strong
No, you'd tell me anything, look what you've done to me
(You don't belong)
Still I tell myself that tomorrow you'll be long gone
You don't belong to me, I think you lied to me
(Against the wall)
And with my back against this wall it's hard to be strong
You'd tell me anything, look what you've done to me
(You don't belong)
it's a world full of heartbreak drive-bys
we've seen our fair share of hard nights
looked right into the face of a goodbye
while we walked on the edge of the dark side
after all this time, yeah
we're not gonna fall now
we're not gonna bleed out
never gonna break down
no, whoa
just when these four walls try to cave in
and the ground underneath starts shaking
it's the hope in your eyes that i cling to
and i hope to god it never leaves you
after all this time, yeah
we're not gonna fall now
we're not gonna bleed out
never gonna break down
no, whoa
[x2]
even if they come for us
everything can turn to dust
you and i are never going down
the bullets and the bombs of love
go ahead and fire at us
we will never give it up
oh, oh
we're not gonna fall now
we're not gonna bleed out
never gonna break down
no, whoa
We're caught in the trap, I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm sayin'?
We can't go on together with suspicious minds
We can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
I saw an old friend I know, I stopped to say hello
But I could still see suspicion in your eyes
Here we go again, ask me where I've been
You can't see the tears are real, I'm cryin'
We can't go on together with suspicious minds
We can't build our dreams on suspicious minds
Let our love survive or dry the tears from your eyes
Don't let a good thing die
Don't you know I never lied to you
Oh no
We're caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see what you've been doing to me
When you don't believe a word I'm sayin'?
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Caught in a trap, can't walk out
She packed by bag last night, preflight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then
I miss the earth so much
I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place
To raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did
And all this science
I don't understand
It's just my job
Five days a week
A Rocket Man
Rocket Man
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Ah, no no no...
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burnin' out his fuse
Up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
Tell me what you need
And I will find a way to stop the bleeding
No, don't add to my mistakes
Tell me you're not leaving
Then I'll tell you everything you need to know
Don't throw it all away, don't say my words are just too late
I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind to all that I have broken
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me out in the open, I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right?
You say the story's ending
But I think it's time we stop pretending
No, can't let you turn the page
Does your heart remember
When we used to say forever, don't let go
Don't throw it all away, don't say these words are just too late
I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind to all that I have broken
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me out in the open, I know this will take time
Can we put the past behind us? Tonight I'm gonna fight for you
Just give me one last chance to make it right
Last chance to make it right
I don't wanna be left behind
I've been so blind to all that I have broken
Can we put this back together?
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me out in the open, I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right?
Give me one last chance to make it right
Last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right, oh yeah
No more empty promises, they don't exist
Just me out in the open, I know this will take time
Can you give me one last chance to make it right?
Give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right
Give me one last chance to make it right
They say we need to be a certain way to fit the mold.Or so they say
Who's they?
How can we pretend to care and bend because we're told we're not okay
Who's they?
Who's they?
Who's they?
They say we need to be a certain way to fit the mold.Or so they say
Who's they?
How can we pretend to care and bend because we're told we're not okay
Who's they?
Who's they?
Who's they?
We can't go wrong
When we all stand tall and we sing the same song
We'll find it hard now to get along Oh,
We can't go wrong
When we all stand tall and we sing the same song
We'll find it hard now to get along Oh,
we'll find it hard know to sing along La da da da da da
We'll find it hard know to sing along La da da da da da
we'll find it hard know to sing along La da da da da da
We'll find it hard know to sing along La da da da da da
I woke up today sinkin' like the stones that you have thrown
Wounded by the same ole shots you take
It's easier to kick me when I'm low
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry but that's not what I meant to say
I'm strong enough to say that I don't wanna take the high road now
This is so typical of you to walk away
When your perfect little world is burning down
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold? 'Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry but that's not what I meant to say
What I really meant to say with every little breath I take
I'm not the only one who makes mistakes
Just think of all the ones you've made
And I just thought that you should know
That I've been holding on while you've been letting go
Can I be so bold? 'Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry but that's not what I meant to say
Not what I meant to say
Can I be so bold? 'Cause all this sucking up to you is just getting old
Well, it's not too late to say it right this time
'Cause I know I said I'm sorry but that's not what I meant to say
i thought it would be easy
but it ain't for me
it's kinda hard when you lay your heart
on a one way street
i really thought by now
you woulda slipped my mind
but the kind of love sent from above
is the killing kind
put my mind to rest and try to sleep it off
it'll be alright when the morning comes
or am i wrong
[chorus:]
ain't no doubt about it
i can't live without it
tried to forget you
but i can't get you outta my head
just when i think you're gone
you come back and turn it on
and just like a simple song
i can't get you outta my head
well i saw you dancin'
dancin' in my dreams
i saw your face and i can't erase
all the things i've seen
even if i try
cause lord knows i've tried
i can't escape
and i can't shake the pain inside
[bridge:]
crazy when she comes and crazy as she goes
i'm holding out my hands with nothing left to show
guess that's the way it goes
[chorus]
[bridge]
Thought it was dead and buried
Then it woke you up last night
You sounded so damn worried
You've been tossin', turnin', both ends burnin'
I wanna put your mind at ease again
Make everythin' alright
I know it's gettin' underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein' in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
With your imagination and emotions runnin' wild
Fuelin' my frustration like a fire burnin', clock keeps turnin'
I know it's gettin' underneath your skin
I've tried to tell you now
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein' in your dreams
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
Don't look over your shoulder
'Cause that's just the ghost of me you're seein'
Wait, there's no rhyme or reason
Sometimes there's no meanin' in the visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
Visions when you're sleepin'
Don't wake up and believe them
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me
You're lookin' at the ghost of me

So let’s break out of this town like a renegade
Can’t wait another minute
Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left, just left me cold and out of breath
I felt if I was in way to deep, guess I let you get the best of me
Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls, dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away, there was nothing I could say
And when you slammed the front door shut, a lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see that you never were the best for me
Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And now I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
I got over you
Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
Well, I never saw it coming, I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I'm slowly getting closure, I guess it's really over
I'm finally getting better
And ow I'm picking up the pieces, spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
Well, I'm putting my heart back together
'Cause I got over you and I got over you
And I got over you
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through
Is this hour breaking?
Now we're out of time
Changing seasons, a thousand reasons to say goodbye
Have we given all we have to give?
And are we living all the life that we can live?
We take away, take away
A piece of you and me and just walk away
But we'll never die
Never die
See it your way, or see it my way or never mind
Should we keep hurting or keep on searching the other side?
Have we taken all that we can take?
And have we broken every promise we can break?
And weÿ take away, take away
A piece of you and me and just walk away
But we'll never die
Never die
And it's safe to say, safe to say
We never really mean it anyway
'cause we'll never die, never die
Never die, never die
Make amends, start again
Before we go off the deep end
And turn the page, a new day
How can we pretend?
Oh, oh...
Take away, take away, yeah
A piece of you and me and just walk away
And it's safe to say, safe to say
We never really mean it anyway, yeah
And we'llÿ...
Take away, take away
A piece of you and me and just walk away
And with our two worlds collided we may fall
We will never die, never die
Never die, never die
Cry out
For all who we care to know
I've been hollow way too long
I know where I'm going wrong
There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through...
Color blind I paint your blue sky grey
But this time you'll she'd some light on me
Just before I fade away
There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Get me through...
All the chances that you're takin'
The promises that I keep breaking down
Writings on the wall
Can't make out all the letters
But I know it's getting better now
The writings on the wall
(By osama_daughtry)
Get me through...
There's nothing I can do
I believe you can get me through
Nothing else will do
I believe you can get me through
So can you stop the bleeding?
Your life is like a crack in the mirror
7 years of bad luck it ain't getting better now
Not till all is said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background small town everywhere you look around
Tell me what you're runnin from
Flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but it's tails
[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you wont be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it'll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know it's just a lie
Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside...
[Verse 2:]
Nothin faster than the speed of your leavin
A hundred miles an hour and there ain't no slowin down
But you can't outrun yourself
Hey you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck
But now you're skipping like a broken record goin round
You're the last to ask for help
You flip a coin and let it land in your hand
Heads you gonna stay but it's tails
[Chorus:]
So you can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you wont be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can't pretend it'll be alright
Said it to yourself but you know it's just a lie
Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Bridge:]
It's never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination there you are
[Ending Chorus:]
You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend it will be alright
No matter how you sell it
When you tell it it's a lie
Cause it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside (You can go
And change and to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try
And run and know you'll always be
The same inside)
Still you on the inside (You can go
And change and to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside (You can try
And run and know you'll always be
The same inside)
never thought a train goin' any place could've changed my life
never thought i'd say i could go insane, 'til i saw your eyes
and i had to take another look to know for sure
that you could be for real
you found an empty seat sittin' next to me
and i asked your name
where you comin' from?
where you headed to this saturday?
'cause i'm gonna be out on the town
as long as you are goin' there with me
yeah and my head keeps spinnin'
you got me trippin'
there's something about the way you move
yeah, every little single thing you do is like
one part angel and one part danger
but, oh, the kind of crazy i like
you got me losing my mind
i'm losing my mind!
it's getting hard to sleep
getting hard to think 'bout much these days
'cause everywhere i go
only thing i see is your glowing face
and the way you light up every room you walk into
just makes me want to scream
yeah and my head keeps spinnin'
you got me trippin'
there's something about the way you move
yeah, every little single thing you do is like
one part angel and one part danger
but, oh, the kind of crazy i like
you got me losing my mind
i'm losing my mind!
can't understand why you got me so far gone
you're gonna have to lock me up before too long
you've got me losing my mind
yeah and my head keeps spinnin'
you got me trippin'
there's something about the way you move
yeah, every little single thing you do is like
one part angel and one part danger
but, oh, the kind of crazy i like
you got me losing my mind
i'm losing my mind!
you got me losing my mind
Long Way lyrics
Dusty roads
Hopeless nights
Looking at.. blinding lights
Saw your ghost here tonight
It lingers on and I feel your life
Pulling me back to the place
But the thought of staring back at you is more than I can face
And its a long way down
From where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land.
And its a long way down..
To you
Dusty roads,
Hopeless nights..
Looking at blinding lights
Saw your ghost,
Its alive.
It lingers on, feel your life.
Pulling me back to the place...
But the thought of staring back at you was more than I could face
And it's a long way now,
From where I used to rest my head
And it's safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs and wasted land
It's a long way down to you..
To you
To you
To you...
Saw your ghost..
It's alive.
Lingers on, I feel your life..
And it's a long way now
To where I used to rest my head
And it's safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
And It's a long way down
It's a long way down
To where I used to rest my head
And its safe and sound
If only I could turn around
There's no direction where I stand
Just dead end signs to wasted land
Heard that song on the radio,
And it got my gears turnin'
Like a real life time machine.
You were there in the front seat,
Windows down we were burning,
It was just like a movie scene,
Those dashboard lights,
And your pale blue eyes cutting through me.
Two hearts on the getaway,
Feels just like yesterday,
Young love on the freeway,
Singing louder than ever.
Those nights we used to sing along,
We were living a love song,
Those days might be gone,
But I hear it louder than ever.
We spent that whole summer long,
You and me and the moonlight,
Chasing dreams in a fast machine,
No way it could go wrong,
When it all felt so right,
Feeling like California queen,
I cannot get all of the ways that you loved me.
Two hearts on the getaway,
Feels just like yesterday,
Young love on the freeway,
Singing louder than ever.
Those nights we used to sing along,
We were living a love song,
Those days might be gone,
But I hear it louder than ever.
I can't help but turn it up,
No it can't get loud enough,
Yeah, I just wanna' hear it,
Over and over,
Over and over,
Heard that song on the radio,
And it got my gears turnin'
Like a real life time machine.
Two hearts on the getaway,
Feels just like yesterday,
Young love on the freeway,
Singing louder than ever.
Those nights we used to sing along,
We were living a love song,
Those days might be gone,
But I hear it louder than ever.
Two hearts on the getaway,
Feels just like yesterday,
Young love on the freeway,
Singing louder than ever.
Those nights we used to sing along,
We were living a love song,
Those days might be gone,
today could've been the day
that you blow out your candles
make a wish as you close your eyes
today could've been the day
everybody was laughin'
instead i just sit here and cry
who would you be?
what would you look like
when you looked at me for the very first time?
today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
not a day goes by that i don't think of you
i'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light we never knew
gone too soon, yeah
would you have been president?
or a painter, an author or sing like your mother
one thing is evident
would've given all i had
would've loved ya like no other
who would you be?
what would you look like?
would you have my smile and her eyes?
today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
not a day goes by that i don't think of you
i'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light we never knew
gone too soon, yeah
not a day goes by, oh
i'm always asking why, oh
not a day goes by that i don't think of you
i'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a beautiful life we never knew
gone too soon
you were gone too soon, yeah
and not a day goes by
Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you'll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
Gotta reach out for the sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up
Well I've felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I've been broken
I still run right back for more
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You're bound to feel the flame
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing
Oh yeah
Sometimes I think I'm better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
Didn't give up the longing, believing
And belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You're bound to feel the flame
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike that match
You're bound to feel the flame
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
And paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out
I haven't learned a thing
I haven't learned a thing
I haven't learned, haven't learned
I'm staring out into the night, trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
Well, I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, well I'm going home
The miles are getting longer, it seems, the closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love it makes true and I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
So I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all and then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah
Oh, well I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, I'm going home
There's a place where you can light the fire and watch it burn
Lay it down and lose it all
It's taking me so far beyond the point and no return
Gave all that I had when hope was gone, hope was gone
Is this real or is it just another crazy dream
That someday soon will fade away
Feels just like I'm under water and can barely breathe
Dying in the bed that I have made
I don't wanna drown in you
I'm sinking and I'm torn in two
So when you see me come up for air
Don't try to hold me down
Just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
This city pulls me in closer than I've ever been
There aint' no way I can escape
Without a doubt you know that I would tread the deepest end
A thousand years forever and a day.
But I don't wanna drown in you
I'm sinking and I'm torn in two
So when you see me come up for air
Don't try to hold me down
Just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
Did I bring this on myself
Can I get out alive
Yeah, I've given you the best of me
Now you want the rest of me
What's it gonna take to survive yeah
There's a place where you can light the fire and watch it burn
I don't wanna drown in you
I'm sinking and I'm torn in two
So when you see me come up for air
Don't try to hold me down
Just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
Don't let me drown in you
Drown in you
Just save me now
Don't let me drown in you
There's no hiding whom
when every wound
brings the darkest place to light
so why not assume
that straight out of the womb
i've been marked by a beast of some kind
and there are so many reasons why
You're not crazy for leaving
just crazy for staying so long
i'm amazed you're still breathing
amazed you can feel at all
for all the pain i caused
i'm the one crazy after all
the one crazy after all
there's no need for signs
when your crying eyes said a million words a night
i'd rather die than see you time? for all the wrongs you can't make right
you're not crazy for leaving
just crazy for staying so long
i'm amazed you're still breathing
amazed you can feel at all
for all the pain i caused
i'm the one crazy after all
i'm so far gone found my way back to broken somehow
yeah when you moved on i can't find my way out
you're not crazy for leaving

i'm amazed you're still breathing
amazed you can feel at all
for all the pain i caused
(the one crazy after all)
i'm the one crazy after all
the one crazy after all
i'm the one crazy after all
I been me, I been followin' my dreams
Tryin' to find the scene where you believed me
I been true, I been waiting here for you
I been patient, understanding and believing
Every time you turn around
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down every time you turn around
I been good, I been doin' what I should
Workin' hard to make a world that we can live in
I been strong, I been holdin' out so long
And I don't want you to forget you are forgiven
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down every time you turn around
All the reasons you believe what you believe
Never seeing that the truth is a part of me
Now I'm gonna do is show you what it really means to love
What it really means to love
I know you're standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down
I see you standing there waiting for me
To take it on back down the other road baby
But I won't let you down every time you turn around
Every time you turn around, every time you turn around
like a moth into a flame, i'm hypnotized and like a stone i'm paralyzed
cause i can't look away. you find your way under my skin, in trying not to
love you but i hate the way that i keep givin in to you like i always do no
matter how i try, maybe could it be that your the part of me that's keeping
me alive.
how am i suppose to break this spell you've got me under im so addicted
to the pain. got your poison running through my veins, the way you pull me
in, the way you chew me up, the way you spit me out. I keep coming back i
cant get enough i cant go without you
i could fight you till the end but i will lose you if i wait so ill just
keep on giving into you like i always do no matter how i try, maybe could
it be that your the part of me that's keeping me alive.

cant get enough i cant go without you
this feeling is far from sober, there's beauty buried deep inside, your the
only one that gets me high and i know it's far from over as you can see
your the part of me that's keeping me alive

Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down.
Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.
And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
All those years
One day changes everything, and
Gone and your life and the passion fades away
Saving for something
That you’ll never see in your days
Shutting out everything that you need
(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Giving in or leaving this now
Now we have what we have become
All the tears
We never thought we’d see the day when
The trappings of your life would seem to disappear
Goin through the vacancy you leave behind
Not what you have promised,
Not what you believed
(Looking through distorted eyes)
Beautiful disaster
(Adding up a million lies)
So much for “ever after”
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Now we have what we have become
Now you fight to ease your pain
Now you know it’s not the way out
Now you know it’s not the way out
Not the way out
Building up your wall
Everything you wanted
Fit the pieces into holes we used to crowd away
Finding out the truth, when nothing really matters
Chase the light that’s blinding even as you crowd away
Hood of my car
Radios just loud enough so I can hear Levon
Where you are is anybody's guess but mine
Just a song that we grew up on
Constellations seem so out of line
Wishing we could make it this time
If somebody's out there
Show me that you care
Give me a sign that comes out of nowhere
Like a shooting star
We'll maybe laugh for miles
Something inside tells me we can't be too far
Cause I can see me on a spaceship leaving
Here we'll only find that we're not the only ones
We're not the only ones
Call me a fool
Day dreaming in the dark, yeah
Throwing bottles at the moon
Why your thought is nobody's fault but mine
Another song that we grew up on
Can anybody tell me where I can find
That girl I can't get out of my mind
If somebody's out there
Show me that you care
Give me a sign that comes out of nowhere
Like a shooting star
We'll maybe laugh for miles
Something inside tells me we can't be too far
Cause I can see me on a spaceship leaving
Here we'll only find that we're not the only ones
Lookin' for love
Lookin' for something more when it's not enough
Gotta stay above the clouds
Cause without feet both on the ground
We'll never love
Yeah, cause I can see me on a spaceship leaving
here we'll only find that we're not the only...
If somebody's out there
Show me that you care
Give me a sign that comes out of no where
Like a shooting star
We'll maybe laugh for miles
Something inside tells me we can't be too far
I'll take another fall
The spaceships leaving
Come see for yourself if you don't believe me
Together we will find that
We're not the only ones
Will you listen to my story?
It'll just be a minute
How can I explain?
What ever happened here
Never meant to hurt you
How could I cause you so much pain?
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe
Will you believe me?
All the words that I come up with
They're like gasoline on flames
There's no excuse
No explaination
Belive me
If I could I'd undo what I did wrong
I'd give away all that I own
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe
Will you believe me?
If I told you
I've been cleaning my soul
And if I promised you
I'll regain control
Will you open your door
And let me in?
Take me for who I am
And not for who I've been?
Who I've been...
When I say I'm sorry
Will you believe me?
Listen to my story
Say you wont leave me
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
Will you believe?
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
(When I say I'm sorry)
When I say I'm sorry
Can you forgive me?
When I say I'll always be there
our story's old, older than the wind
it's been decided for years
how can we pretend
that we all know just how it's gonna end
rescue me in the middle of the ocean
crashing down, it's always hard to breathe
some say, it's easier to give up on it
i say, it's time to rescue me
lost and lonely people standing by, afraid to try
some of them here, the same as you and i
the differences are all but left behind
so i need you now
rescue me in the middle of the ocean
crashing down, it's always hard to breathe
some say, it's hard to make the changes
rescue me and i'll never be the same
rescue me in the middle of my darkest hour
time will tell i never really had the power
some say, it's easier to give up on it
i say, it's time to rescue me
we gotta get out, how foolish i would feel
to say it's all been a waste of time
we may lose and we may win
but like the sun, we will rise again
but until then
rescue me in the middle of the ocean
crashing down, it's always hard to breathe
some say, it's hard to make the changes
rescue me and i'll never be the same
rescue me in the middle of my darkest hour
time will tell i never really had the power
some say, it's easier to give up on it
i say, it's time to rescue me
How the time passed away, all the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on
We reach for something that's already gone, yeah
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
We knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
We would end up here the way we are
Yeah, we knew we had to leave this town
But we never knew when and we never knew how
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
Feeling like this could only mean
I'm sinking.
Feeling like this could only mean
I'm sinking.
Well, I'm sinking.
Pull me up.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor,
I say I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone.
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch,
I say I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone,
But you are.
You are.
Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive
To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide.
The day you turned on me is the day I died,
And I've forgotten what it's like,
And how it feels to be alive.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor,
I say I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone.
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch,
I say I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone.
Reach up to the sky.
When nothing seems to go right,
When nothing seems to go right for me.
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor.
I say I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone.
Everytime I see the light not burning on the porch,
I say I thought you would be home.
You never would be gone.
I thought you would be home.
You said you never would be gone,
The traffic light
Waits for you to tell me the tale of a shattered life, tonight
And I just passed by when you have had the chance to fight
Or would you spend your last days alone
Thinkin nobody would have cared
or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light
So youre telling me, this is how youre going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well you are way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how Id never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
What I left behind, what I left behind
Need a change
In a minute of my time did I get your name?
Well you say, that I havent been asked that in years
Now I think, the traffic light that stood in the way
So that I can hear what you had to say
Im half way through your story
Cant help thinking that youre just like me
This is how Im going down
I thought that they never really wanted me around
Well I was way off track to think like that
Coz now Im taken back, everything that I ever said
bout how theyd never want to see me again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
Forgetting about ourselves
Is like history that dust is covering left on the self, on the self
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
Yeah, this is how youre going down
You thought Id never really wanted you around
Well you were way off track to think like that
Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said
bout how I never want to see you again
Well this is what I, what I left behind
This is how youre going down
you never know when you're gonna meet someone
and your whole wide world in a moment comes undone
you're just walking around then suddenly
everything that you thought that you knew above love is gone
you find out it's all been wrong
all my scars, don't seem to matter anymore
coz they lead me here to you
i know it's gonna take some time
but i've got to admit
that the thought has crossed my mind
this might end up like it should
i'm gonna say what i need to say
and hope to god that it don't scare you away
don't want to be misunderstood
but i'm starting to believe that
this could be the start of something good
everyone knows life has its ups and downs
one day you're on top of world
and one day you're the clown
well i've been both enough to know
that you don't wanna get in the way when its working out
the way that it is right now
you see my heart; i wear it on my sleeve
coz i just can't hide it anymore
i know it's gonna take some time
but i've got to admit
that the thought has crossed my mind
this might end up like it should
i'm gonna say what i need to say
and hope to god that it don't scare you away
don't want to be misunderstood
but i'm starting to believe that
this could be the start
coz i don't know where its goin'
there's a part of me that loves not knowin'
just don't let it end before we begin
you never know when you're gonna meet someone
don't wanna be misunderstood
but i'm starting to believe that this could be the start
coz i don't know where its goin'
there's a part of me that loves not knowin'
just don't let it end before we begin
you never know when you're gonna meet someone
and your whole wide world in a moment comes undone
i know it's gonna take some time
but i've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
this might end up like it should
i'm gonna say what i need to say
and hope to god that it don't scare you away
don't want to be misunderstood
but i'm starting to believe that
