Valencia
In my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia
Where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia
In my arms I held your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You loved me
In Valencia long ago
You think that you are so predictable
I've got some news for you
These words don't seem to leave my mind
As easily as yours do
Well I've go something inside that wont let me give up again
So get up and get into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you just can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
Well I fold this hand
That I've been playing for all these years
So pop that pill
And put another fake smile on your face
Just cause the sun rises tomorrow
Doesn't mean you'll make it through today
The days may seem to go slow
But before you learn to run
You need to get on your feet walk away
So get up and into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you just can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
I fold this hand that I've been playing all these years
Well tomorrow is burning bright
So get outside and just enjoy the daylight
Its time you realize growing up is moving on
So run away
Get up and get into me cause you know you want to
It's so damn hard to believe in the things that matter most
What you can't seem
To understand
Is you've got me as your friend
I fold this hand that I've been playing all these years
Born in a generation, write lies but no inspiration,
Couldn't tell you what you need to believe,
Throw away, your integrity
The radios on and you listen
The T.V.'s on and you'll watch
So look, mark it, why don't you buy in
there has to be some way to make it stop
By now, you should've figure out
that everything you believe
it was overconfident
so take my hand and let me lead you
to where we feel...
(Chorus x2)
With our backs against the wall and maybe our shadows aren't that tall
is this what it takes to make you think
I can't believe it
With out backs against the wall
and maybe our shadows aren't that tall
is this what it takes to make you think
There's something strange going on in my head
That says if I were to get in a car right now
North Carolina is where I would end
And to your doorstep I would be bound.
To whisper the words that I've always wanted to say,
And watch as the sun rips this blue sky away
Cause the colors are always changing
So stare up at the clouds
And at least you know
you're always looking up
So Casey can you remember (Do you remember)
sitting by my side
On the bank of the Delaware River
and talking about life
Don't forget about the blue skies, sunrise, and all the space between
It's amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me
All the pictures, memories and all the times we had
Do you think that some things are better left unsaid?
We'd stay inside just to watch the time go by
and sleep the whole day till the night
with everything you said
I'm sure you've got some place that you'd probably rather be
I hope you're singing this song
and thinking about me
Carolina was waiting for you
it's what you always wanted
Don't forget about the blue skies, sunrise, and all the space between
It's amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me
And all the pictures, memories and all the times we had
Do you think that some things are better left unsaid?
And we run away
Cause the sky looks different when you're in another state
It's everything I've always wanted
And everything I've worked so hard for
Well Is it in me
To put the bottle down?
well Is it in me?
to put the bottle down?
well is it in me? (blue skies sunrise and all the space between)
to put the bottle down? ( its amazing how a girl like you could affect a guy like me)
well is it in me?( the pictures, memories, and all the times we had)
to put the bottle down? (do you think that some things, are better left unsaid?)
Is it in me
I barely got to sleep last night
But don't worry girl I still had that dream again
The dream where I'm in a perfect world
With perfect blue skies
Where no one dies and we spend forever
Livin' in love, nothing could be better
Than a perfect world with a perfect girl
We'd have so much time living out the good life
Yeah, it's the good life
From the moment my feet touched sand
To the perfect skies up in the tall mountains
It felt so good to roll the windows down
Drive along until we find ourselves
And we'll go back to the life you wanna lead
Then we'll go back to the way things used to be
We'll find a way to make it right and we'll live our lives
Step by step, we'll make it as we sing
Don't ever forget all the sleepless nights
We stayed up late until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I've made great friends, I've seen great times
I've been in love and I've seen love die
Nothing's as good as when I close my eyes
And feel that road that's lead me through this life
It's a good life, just get me on my feet
It's a good life but I'm living in a dream where
I'll take a chance on every breath like it's my last
Step by step we'll make it as we sing
Don't ever forget all the sleepless nights
We stayed up late until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
Don't ever forget all the sleepless nights
We stayed up late until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get I'll be a step behind
I'll find a way to catch you when you fall down
I packed my bags, I was on my way home
I was 400 miles away from being back inside of your arms
It's where I always wanted to be
Don't ever forget all the sleepless nights
We stayed up late until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get I'll be a step behind
To catch you when you fall down
I'll catch you when you fall down
Don't ever forget all the sleepless nights
We stayed up late until the sun would rise
No matter how far you get I'll be a step behind
I'll find a way to catch you when you fall down
I barely got to sleep last night
Well, I can still smell the Portland air
And it makes me sick to my stomach
To think of what you've become
These tall evergreens
And the lights of your city
Should have warned me long ago
That I fell way too fast
If mountains could talk
This one would share its secrets with me
Of what it has seen
Of you and the way you move
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall
And my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
'Cause this dream is taking all of me
You won't talk and it remained
Just you and I overlooking these Portland lights
From the top of a mountain
In a park where you call home
From the top of a mountain
In a park where you call home
If mountains could talk
This one would share its secrets with me
Of what it has seen
Of you and the way you move
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall
And my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
'Cause this dream is taking all of me
Things got a little crazy for me for that week
Where I drank myself stupid
To the point where I couldn't even speak
It's beautiful here, I don't ever want to leave
Then I thought about
The unfortunate side effect of me being me
And I remembered back where this leads
Back to the park where you call home
And me realizing, what back then
I should have known
I'd hate what you'd become
Well, I can still smell that Portland air
So now that I'm listening
I've got my ear to the wall
And my feet are touching the ground
I'm trying not to give myself away
But my heart is beating way too loud
And that got my thinking
One may never be as happy as one seems
So I'll go ahead and give myself away
She said I'm out of place
And asked me what I'm doing here, whoa
From the look in her eyes I knew it was clear, whoa
That I was gonna be in for the ride of my life
I'd better hold on if I want to survive because, oh
This could take the best of me
So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go
You know I won't forget the way that you looked that night
When I tried to understand
Why those sunglasses always hide your eyes
But don't worry girl 'cause you're never alone
I'll be with you 'til that morning comes
But then oh, this will take the best of me
So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go
So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go, just let it go
I swore I'd never come back to this place now
Unless you're ready for me to leave again
I swore I'd never step foot inside this house
Unless you're ready for me to stay around
I swore I'd never come back to this place now
Unless you're ready for me to leave again
I swore I'd never step foot inside this house
Unless you're ready for me to stay around
So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go
So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go
So let me first start off by saying
How hard I've been working towards this goal
I'm set in stone behind my eyelids
From hours of callous dreaming
And second let me tell you
About this feeling I can't describe
'Cause as I try to get this all out
Know that I'm not better off at all
'Cause this town's never seemed so close
When I'm home for the week on a holiday
Look around everything has changed
Life's not the same since you've gone away
Since you've gone away
I've come to this conclusion
That I was foolish when I thought
That if I just put my trust in coming home
That I'd be better off
All that just got me thinking
About the feeling I can't describe
And as I try to get this all out
I realize that I'm not better off at all
When I'm home for the week on a holiday
Look around everything has changed
Life's not the same since you've gone away
'Cause you've gone away
When I'm home for the week on a holiday
Look around everything has changed
Life's not the same since you've gone away
Since you've gone away
We all need a reason to believe
We all need a reason
We all need a reason to believe
We all need a reason
Home for the week on a holiday
Look around, everything has changed
Life's not the same since you've gone away
Since you've gone away
The end of the day we always need
A reason to believe she said
Well, I've been saving my breath for another year
I've wasted my time of coming clean to you
On how I'm always catching up
Yeah, I'm still chasing my heart down 95
It's a fucked up way to live your life
When you are stuck always catching up
So I'll come clean to you
Head in hands I find
That I've been fighting the words
This just isn't worth my time
It's not a way to die, suffocated by stress
When life is a mess, it's not right
Head in hands we find
Separated by faith, that got in the way of this life
We found out ways to die, suffocated by stress
My life is a mess, it's not right
Yeah, I've been clearing my head trying to get some sleep
And all these overloaded thoughts crash down on me
And it seems that this is just not good enough
So I'll come clean to you
Head in hands I find
That I've been fighting the words
This just isn't worth my time
It's not a way to die, suffocated by stress
When life is a mess, it's not right
Head in hands we find
Separated by faith that got in the way of life
We found a way to die, suffocated by stress
My life is a mess, it's not right
Well, this is the calm before the storm
It's hitting harder than it has before
Sometimes you've gotta walk in the rain
If you're dying to find what you're looking for
Are you dying to find what you're looking for?
Head in hands I find
That I've been fighting the words
This just isn't worth my time
It's not a way to die, suffocated by stress
When life is a mess, it's not right
Head in hands we find
Separated by faith, that got in the way of life
We found a way to die, suffocated by stress
I heard your footsteps this morning
You know it's hard to get by when you don't sleep at all
I heard your footsteps this morning
You know it's hard to get by when you don't sleep at all
I'm just trying to be honest when I say
My body's feeling tired and I've got to move on
But I hope and I pray that your legs will somehow find the strength
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe you are home
Some nights I have this blurred vision
Where we dance in a dream to the songs that we love
Those songs have played for the lonely souls
Who are singing along when it wasn't enough
Just to hope and to pray that their bodies somehow find the strength
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe
I've been waiting for good news since you left
Little piece of my heart's been pounding out of my chest
We're all waiting for good news, aren't we now?
And they all carry on
They want nothing but to be better off
And I've hurt and I've aged
But I found it in my heart to believe you are home
I've been waiting for good news since you left
Little piece of my heart's been pounding out of my chest
I've been thinking that you and I just need a little time
I've been thinking
I'll do this the, the right way and dig myself out of this hole
It's frightening but I don't know which way I can go
It might be that everyone around me seems cold
And I think I need to do it all on my own
And if I try to turn my life back around
It's so hard 'cause I'm on a path I've never been down
And I've got to think that this might be
The one way that I can go
You had faith in me and this is all for you
And I've been thinking that you and I, we just need a little time
We'll figure out where we both went wrong and we'll make it right
I've been wishing on every star that's hanging up in the sky
Just hoping that I can find a little bit of time
Now that I'm, I'm stuck in this city with spring rolling in
It's so hard 'cause I don't know where to begin
There's just never much time these days
And I've been up all night trying to say
I've got, I've got to get this all off my chest
I am so sick of living my life in suspense
I'm focused on getting my life rearranged
You're goddamn right, my life has changed
You had faith in me and this is all for you
And I've been thinking that you and I, we just need a little time
We'll figure out where we both went wrong and we'll make it right
I've been wishing on every star that's hanging up in the sky
Just hoping that I can find a little bit of time
All at once my world collides
All at once my world collides
There's so much more that I wanted to say
I guess it didn't turn out that way
So I'll step back and never let go to the
Constant hope I'm never alone
And now I've been thinking that you and I, we just need a little time
We'll figure out where we both went wrong and we'll make it right
I've been wishing on every star that's hanging up in the sky
Something tells me you've been missing out
On all the places and towns we always used to go
And so I'm stuck here to figure now
The chance we had made, you pack your bags
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home
So much different, you're getting distant
And now I'm the only one whose all alone
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you
Yeah, I'd pick you instead
So drink down the bottle and just go to bed
This whole situation is going right over your head
You're out of your body, why don't you come to mine?
'Cause right now what it takes to fall
Is what it takes to climb
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home
So much different, you're getting distant
And now I'm the only one whose all alone
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you
Yeah, I'd pick you instead
So break away from the simple things in life
'Cause when the moon comes out
There is no doubt that it is always by your side
I never thought you could be so happy with a ticket in your hand
And a plane ride back to home
I guess for now I'll have to settle for
The fact that what we could have been
Is what I'll never know
You're three thousand miles
From the place you once called home
So much different, you're getting distant
And now I'm the only one whose all alone
I'm writing post cards to let you know how much I care
Saying, "The only thing that gets me by
We watched the sunset and we told ourselves to never forget
Just how good it felt to be surrounded
By a town that we knew like the back of our hands
We felt alive, hoped for the very first time
Is it safe to say in the morning you'll come back?
And things will be the same
'Cause since the day you left, you know I've
Had a hard time and I want you to know
If you hear these words won't you please just come back?
It's been a year now but I still appreciate the sundown
It reminds me somehow things will work out
And I'll fall to your arms, just like I'd always do
It felt so good, it was the very first time I felt alive
Yeah, so alive
Is it safe to say in the morning you'll come back?
And things will be the same
'Cause since the day you left, you know I've
Had a hard time and I want you to know
If you hear these words, won't you please just come back?
If I could sing this out loud, I'd scream it to the clouds
And everyone in this town would know what I'm about
Rather die than feel this pain take me over again
It's so hard to let you go
Is it safe to say?
Is it safe to say in the morning you'll come back?
And things will be the same
'Cause since the day you left, you know I've
Had a hard time and I want you to know
Starting off it was better than this
I know it hurts but do you like to pretend
That you can just let go?
Of the grip that you hold so tight
'Cause they can tell by the look in your eye
They're down a less traveled road
There's a need for change, a need to feel the waves
To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
Slow it down to recapture the words
That brought you here and taught you what you learned
They don't care that you can't stop shaking
Just understand you're alright for now
Say what you mean then make your way out
'Cause you're down a dead-end road
If things don't change then go your way
To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go, it's safe to just let go
You lost your way home, you lost it all, it seems
You lost your way home, you're better off
You're better off without it
Understand, understand
Understand you're alright for now
Slow it down, slow it down
Understand, understand
Understand you're alright for now
Slow it down, slow it down
To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
Have you been through what I've been through?
It's safe to just let go
Something tells me you've been missing out
on all the places and towns we always used to go,
and so I'm stuck here to figure now,
the chance we had made you pack your bags.
Your three thousand miles
from the place you once called home.
So much different,
you're getting distant
and now I'm the only one whose all alone.
The fact about fiction is that it's always in your head.
So let it all go just what you don't know is I'd pick you,

I'd pick you instead.
So Break away from the simple things in life,
cause when the moon comes out
there is no doubt that it is always by your side.
I never thought you could be so happy with a ticket in your hand,
and a plane ride back to home.
I guess for now I'll have to settle for the fact

I'm writing post cards to let you know how much I care, saying,
"the only thing that gets me by is when I close my eyes and pretend your'e there."
Let's build a rocket to the moon
Just you and I
We could start a whole new world up there
Leave our past behind
Behind
Sometimes I can't believe my eyes
I want to stare up
And get lost in the city lights
Because I've had enough and this is the end
And now I understand
That a heart breaks it does not bend
Someone please help me out
I never meant to take this so far
Now I've fallen way too hard
Take a long step back to
To The days when I was younger
Decisions never mattered all this much
It's an emptied handed promise
From my heart to my conscious
That says one day I will make this count
(The best that I know how)
The closest that I am to living life on the edge
Is packing all my bags, and heading off with my best friends
Someone please help me out
I never meant to take this so far
Now I've fallen way too hard
Take a long step back
To The days when I was younger
Decisions never mattered all this much
So let it all go
You have no worries now
(I've made my decision)
With the sun in your face you're never beneath the clouds
(I'm lifting)
And all the along the way I found you wishing on those clouds to move away
Grab my hand
Let's kiss the sun goodbye
I know the way to go it's never as easy as it may seem
The takeoffs the landings, our rockets transcending
Ordinary, what's ordinary?
(To the moon)
The takeoffs the landings, our rockets transcending
Ordinary, what's ordinary?
There's a place down on Tenth Street
Where I can go
To rest my head
As I sit
By the window
The city sleeps
I am home
It's another day I'll spend forgiving
And another night I wish I could get back
So if you'll sit and stay and talk with me awhile
I'll tell you to hold on
To this scene
As it passes us by
Cause all of the days I wished for
Something just to begin
Standing out
On top as the Philadelphia skyline caves in
Looking out from above
I'll tell you what I really do love
I'll let you know
When I'm coming home
(When I'm coming home)
Cause every little thing that you said
I wish you could take back
Maybe the next time remember
Come December I won't be home
Cause I will be out on the road
To let you know
Maybe one day
We can live with this and grow
Cause you know
Philadelphia makes me feel home
We can all relate to misunderstandings
We're understanding now
With all the time it took for us to figure it out
Why can't you see?
All of the days I wished for
Something just to begin
Standing out
On top as the Philadelphia skyline caves in
Looking out, from above
I'll tell you what I really do love
I'll let you know
Philadelphia makes me feel home
Every little thing that you said
I wish you could take back
Maybe the next time remember
It's amazing how quick
We could turn an argument
Into a fight for what is right
When the conversation dies
I will rip my tongue out
Just to show how much I don't want you
To quit this anymore
Cause lately it's the same again
As I'm writing to unfold
Just keep turning those pages
There's still stories to be told
But don't
Don't let me turn into the person i once hated
All I wanted was to make it
And swing life away
Save me from myself
Cause I don't know who to be
I'm trapped inside a world of all this cold concrete
walking through this town
You'll find me staring at the sky
This city, my city, it burns tonight
Everything you ever wanted
Well it's always by your side
Let it haunt you, let it haunt you
Let it keep you up at night
Everything you ever needed
Well it's always by your side
Let it haunt you, let it haunt you
Let it keep you up at night
Save me from myself
Cause I don't know who to be
I'm trapped inside a world of all this cold concrete
walking through this town
You'll find me staring at the sky
I may be cynical in the end you're always right
but if we take one look into the past
and remember the good times
Like falling asleep through the sunrise
The color's in the skies
As we fade away
Taking our time to remember the chances
That we had in the summer haze
The past twelve months
I've been spending all my nights
Staring at the skies
Trying to find a way to get close to you
I'll wait another year
I'm not running away
or leaving behind
All of the goals
I've yet to accomplish in my life
I can't believe this is happening
I'm trying to find some sort of sign
So when I close so tight
I know that you will always be
Be a part of me
You know this has been hurting more with every day
and I just wish I could take one step back
Into those summer ways
When I would look you in the eyes
and tell you I will you love you for all time
All I need is just one more day
The past twelve months
I've been spending all my nights
Staring at the skies
Trying to find a way to get close to you
I'll wait another year
I'm not running away
or leaving behind
All of the goals
I've yet to accomplish in my life
I can't believe this is happening
I'm trying to find some sort of sign
So when I close so tight
I know that you will always be
Be a part of me
Those nights when you'd look me in the eyes
and say you'd never leave my side
Not gonna wait any longer
I'll create the song to make me stronger
Push into the sun
Hear out my? I am wrong
Back down in all this?
I'm not running away
or leaving behind
All of the goals
I've yet to accomplish in my life
I can't believe this is happening
I'm trying to find some sort of sign
So when I close so tight
I know that you will always be
I guess we all believe and pray in a different way
I know He has many names
I'm sure that - all in all - it stays the same
.. All comes out one day
We're all afraid that day might not be so far away
If we want to live here and stay
Better not let Gaia wash us away
She's got rules we must obey
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha the world has always judged itself
When it comes to crimes - I know
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha who's going to judge the Earth
When a crime has been done by the world...
All by the world itselves, yeah...
I know you still dream of harmony
..And I guess I'll just dream on with you
We're nothing but a lonely crowd
Gaia, Gaia... Where do we go
Why do you go, and leave me alone
Gaia, Gaia... I want you to know
I couldn't save you all on my own
Gaia...(Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
World, calm down...take five, 'cause you lost the
Meaning of life
So many ways to survive
Millions of chances more than meets the eye
..Life could be so nice (Hear the bird of Greenpeace
sing)
We're so far we even can't wage a war no more
Even the moon would be gone
Who would be left over to say "We won"
.. Back to where it all begun
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha the world has always judged itself
When it comes to crimes - I know
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha who's going to judge the Earth
When a crime has been done by the world...
All by the world itselves, yeah...
I know you still dream of harmony
..And I guess I'll just dream on with you
We're nothing but a lonely crowd
Gaia, Gaia... Where do we go
Why do you go, and leave me alone
Gaia, Gaia... I want you to know
I couldn't save you all on my own
Gaia...(Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
Bomb + Dumb = Going To Die (aah)
All living on a Lie (aah)
..The rub-a-dub into the night (aah)
Who's going to live, who's going to die (aah)
Solo
I know you still dream of harmony
..And I guess I'll just dream on with you
We're nothing but a lonely crowd
Gaia, Gaia... Where do we go
Why do you go, and leave me alone
Gaia, Gaia... I want you to know
I couldn't save you all on my own
On my
On my own
Solo
Gaia, Gaia... I want you to know
I couldn't save you all on my own
Gaia... (Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
Our youth has a few words to say
Maybe they know we wiped their future away
Could be they've got nothing to say
Maybe they don't know whether they are going to stay,
or not
I know they've got ONE thing to say
And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go, let
it go
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go,
let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few: every way leads to
heaven
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go,
let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few: every way leads to
heaven
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few
WE NEED A HAND FROM ABOVE
Oh, oh, Gaia...
Oh, oh, Gaia...What we're living for
She is going to die
And away we go
and I hope that you know
that one day, we will all be alone
Holding on to broken hearts
Memories are what's left of us
You're trying to hard to be my friend
And I'm placing all our pictures
in these broken frames to remind me never fall in love again
I'm sorry wont cut it for the rest of your life
get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And away we go
and I hope that you know
that one day, we will all be alone
Maybe now I'll figure out
that life is one big question how am I supposed to grow
when I'm stuck inside this state well I'll never know
Your falling faster then the shooting star you wished your body on
(your body on)
I'm sorry wont cut it for the rest of your life
get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name and forget my face hope you get on a plane and forget this place
So I never have to deal with you again
And I never felt so high as my back is to the ground
And we're starting at the stars making faces at the clouds
But all those days are gone the memories put to rest
And if you want to see my youth your gonna have to dig deep in my chest
I'm sorry wont cut it for the rest of your life
get over yourself and say goodbye
I hope you realize you threw away the best thing that ever happened to you
Forget my name... forget my face...
This is a promise of redemption,
These are the words you never said,
'cause you'll regret to say "I'm Sorry",
But the words will never mend.
These are the problems that will bind us,
To the ties that wont unfold,
As we cross those bridges and boundaries,
To where we'll never know.
So you hope that I wont let you down.
I've got this burning in my stomach,
And it keeps me up at night.
And as I lie down, and think to myself,
About all the times you lied,
So forgive me when I tell you I won't let this one pass me by.
This is the promise of redemption,
These are the words you never said,
'cause you'll regret to say "I'm Sorry",
But the words will never mend.
These are the problems that will bind us,
To the ties that wont unfold,
As we cross those bridges and boundaries,
To where we'll never know, we'll never know.
So listen to the words straight up from my mind,
And you'll realize that with time,
You let go of the best thing that ever happened to you.
(Ever happened to you.)
This is the promise of redemption,
These are the words you never said,
'cause you'll regret to say "I'm Sorry",
But the words will never mend.
These are the problems that will bind us,
To the ties that wont unfold,
As we cross those bridges and boundaries,
To where we'll never know, we'll never know.
Ash those words, from off your lips,
And roll right down to your fingertips,
And throw them away, throw them away.
'cause nothing really matters,
When you lose the words to say.
And now you're alone.
And now you're alone.
This is a promise of redemption,
These are the words you never said,
'cause you'll regret to say "I'm Sorry",
But the words will never mend.
These are the problems that will bind us,
To the ties that wont unfold,
As we cross those bridges and boundaries,
I'm making my way
Through cities and towns
Just trying to lose myself in skylines and forget
That I lost my mind when I couldn't hold her
And now that I feel all the weight on my shoulders
I fall
So here's a couple words for you
To let you know what I've been through
I've got this off-track set mind where everything is fine
If I know I've got a ticket to the other side
And I'll breathe you in tonight
I'll find my own way home
You know I'll be fine
You've got me walking through the back door, back door
Hoping that I'll find you sitting there
You know that I will find you somehow
And I better be well prepared
To change the way that I believe
This story's old but not complete
I need that off-track set mind where everything is fine
If I'm ever gonna meet you on the other side
And I'll breathe you in tonight
I'll find my own way home
You know I'll be fine
You've got me walking through the back door, back door
Hoping that I'll find you sitting there
You know that I will find you somehow
And I better be well prepared
To walk through the back door, back door
With my head in my hands
'Cause I can find you somehow
I better be well prepared
I'm gonna be prepared
I need to get out of the city lights
And make my way to the country side
I'll drive down the road
The roads we both know
Will lead me to the place I miss the most
I'll get to your house
I'll burst through the door
I'll climb up the stairs
You know I'm scared that I have changed
You've got me walking through the back door, back door
Hoping that I'll find you sitting there
You know that I will find you somehow
And I better be well prepared
To walk through the back door, back door
With my head in my hands
'Cause I can find you somehow
I better be well prepared
Things have been getting kind of heavy these days
Trying to figure out what road to take
There's many decisions to be made
And the only time I feel ok
Is when I'm in your arms
Dana baby girl you've got me missing you all day long
From the second I wake up to the second my day is done
With every breath I take in
Ill swear on every inch of my lungs
I'm with you
Yea I don't know how to say this any other way but
Every little thing is going to be all right
So baby don't you worry
Because I wake up with faith that
Things will be ok
It's just for now we sing
So far away from home
Everything's such a daze
No I don't want to go
It hurts to drive away
Rear view mirror I can see
Break lights hit your face
As your waving me goodbye
One good thing about the road
Is that it opens up your eyes
It will make you miss your home and everything that lies
In your arms will be as clear as North Carolina days
Spent realizing who you are
Don't ever change
Don't ever change
Don't ever change
And if the sun sets a mile ahead
Maybe there we can just pretend
This time, it just seems...
If I could do it all over again
And skip those mistakes I made back when
It's just the kind of situation that I was in
To take my life and turn it back around again
I find it hard to understand
That when we look back at all our time spent
You tell me some things just may seem
To matter more to me
And if the sun sets a mile ahead
Maybe there we can understand
This time, it just seems
If we can forget just what was said
Maybe then we can pretend
That all of our lives will be perfect in the end
Take our time, maybe we'll grow up
But you'll learn from what you've done
You might believe in what you see
But no, it never made sense to me
(So I'll do it all over again)
But I learned from all of my time spent
You can't believe in the words that people said
If I want something done I'll have to do it myself again
It makes sense a lot more to me
To see who they are and not who they want to be
The sun set is a mile ahead
And maybe then we can understand
That all (all) of our dreams have never made sense to me
(And if the sun set is a mile ahead
Maybe there we will finally understand)
And now it just seems
If we can just forget what was said
Maybe then we can pretend
That all of our lives will be perfect in the end
Take our time, maybe we'll grow up
But you'll learn from what you've done
You might believe in what you see
But no, it never made sense to... me
I'm so sick of closing my eyes (I'm so sick of closing my eyes)
That I can't see myself getting to sleep tonight
'Cause all these dreams are locked in my mind
And they'll keep me awake for days at a time
Can't forget just what was said
Maybe then we'll understand
That all of our lives will be so perfect in the end
If we forget what was said
Maybe then we can pretend
That all of our lives will be perfect in the end
Take our time, maybe we'll grow up
But you'll learn from what you've done
You might believe in what you see
And it feels like this is the last chance I have to say
Every word that I've been fighting.
Well I have finally decided, to hold my head up with pride
And accept the way life takes you through these changes.
Cause when you reach the stars, you've made it.
It's just something that I've been dying to let you know-
And now that you're gone I'm holding on, and I just can't let go
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt knew
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true
And if I ever let you go,
I'm hoping that some time will show-
That you're the one, you're the one for me
And it feels like this the perfect time for me to say
That deep down inside I'm hurting, but at least I know you're worth it.
And if I hold myself with pride and accept the pain
Then life will take me through these changes cause I have so much left to see.
It's just something that I've been dying to let you know.
Cause now that you're gone I'm holding on and I just can't let go.
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true.
And if I ever let you go, I'm hoping that some time will show-
That you're the one, you're the one for me
So lets go back down to the back of that river where we we can dive right in
And forget about the worries from the world outside, cause you know my world,
My worlds not over because I have an angel on my shoulder.
And I'll be coming home, and when I feel those butterflies
I'll see that I need to find a better way just to believe you're gone.
So long, some day I'll find the strength to move on.
I get a little down on my self.
But when you came around
The world felt new
I opened up my eyes to the light,
And I saw deep inside of a love that was true.
And if I ever let you go,
I'm hoping that some time will show.
Once all I wanted was really to stay when I find out it's not just a phase
I just can't see things working out the way I planned them in my head
So forget it
I'm runnin'
And I'm never looking back
All that I want is something to believe
And I can't take much more of
You're waiting for me to see what times brings
But your relief it evens the score up
One thing I know, I'll be fine
This is just the story of my life
Some days it takes a little time to forget how
Hard we concentrated on the end
I still can't see things working out the way I planned them in my head
So forget it
I'm runnin'
And I'm never looking back
You know this all could be
A possibility
All that I want is something to believe
And I can't take much more of
You're waiting for me to see what times brings
But your belief it evens the score up
One thing I know, I'll be fine
This is just the story of my life
Cause I look up and watch
And see the stars up above
I know that it's wrong
To wish upon the shooting
cause they burn out so quick
To fast for me to get my wish
I guess they are just there for hoping
We're all hoping
We're all hoping
This could be
A possibility
(Will this all work out, how will we ever know?)
This could be
A possibility
This could be
A possibility
This could be
Valencia, in my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia, where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia, in my arms I hold your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You love me, in Valencia long ago
We found our paradise of love
In a magic dream of memory I see you again
In that old town far away beneath the skies of Spain
That city of plenty romances, so shy were your glances
And swiftly the sunshine that dances through the orange broad
Valencia, in my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia, where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia, in my arms I hold your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You love me, in Valencia long ago
We found our paradise of love
Valencia, in my arms I hold your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You love me, in Valencia long ago
