Summer arrived on the back of a mockingbird.
It sang a sweet melody, but couldn't seem to find the right words.
I don't know if you've heard, but it's all over town,
Yeah they're buzzing about it now.
I was singing alone when the mockingbird came to me,
Perched on my windowsill, and hummed along quietly.
But before long she was singing along, and she said, yeah she said:
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,
Now I'm not alone."
Autumn was on it's way and summer was on it's way out;
The mockingbird told me: "I change with the seasons,"
And that she was leaving town in a few days now.
We said our goodbyes, and I secretly wished for more time,
But the seasons are merciless.
For a while we both stood in silence
Until she said:
"I've been waiting so long for these words to come out,
It's practically all I've been thinking about.
So thank you for finding the words I couldn't find on my own,

I've dialed your number, half a thousand times
Hoping just to hear your voice on the other line
I never had the courage to finally make that call
I've been missing you so much
Have you been missing me at all?
I need you here now, more than ever before
'Cause if you're not by my side
Then tell me what is worth living for?
I never had the courage to tell you how I feel
But honestly I've always loved you
And I promise I always will
Don't take your time coming home tonight
'Cause every second wasted
I'm here holding on for life
And with every breath I take I pray you're fine
That I'm the boy you can't get of your mind
I never had the courage to tell you this before
But every day away from you

If you hear this
Wherever you are
Just know I need you here
I need you near me now
You were brighter than the pale white moon
Reflected in your eyes
So I guess it's no surprise
I can't forget you
No matter what I do
I will always carry you
In my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change
Don't ever change
I just need to slow down for awhile
I'm missing your warm smile and the way you used to say
Stay with me until the daylight breaks
No matter what it takes
Just say you'll stay
Just say you'll stay
I will always carry you
In my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away
But memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change

Your words are filled with honesty,
The kind I breathe, the kind that cuts me deep,
And I am grasping for air, I'm grasping for air now.
Yesterday feels like a fresh wound still I insist it's just a flesh wound,
This is my reply for all you've put me through.
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything,
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything.
Looking back at all the words I sent you,
I'm doing my best to forget you,
But still it remains, your name,
The bitter taste on my tongue,
I can't forget your kiss, or the venom on your lips,
This is gonna leave a scar, I am wounded.
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)
Don't count on me for anything,
Don't count on me,
(Don't count on me)

You were so bitter for so very long,
I was young and refused to be wrong.
In the end we couldn't save
what we both helped to make.
Maybe I made some mistakes,
Maybe I've witnessed the way a heart breaks.
Maybe I should have done things differently,
but I didn't and we parted ways.
Who's to say things aren't better this way?
I swear that I'm sorry that I couldn't be the hero
that you wanted from me.
In the end we couldn't fix
what we both helped to break.
Maybe I made some mistakes,
Maybe I've witnessed the way a heart breaks.
Maybe I should have done things differently,
but I didn't and we parted ways.

Did you know you have a special way of turning around my terrible days?
You make all the bad things go away
the second that you say hello.
It's the way that you talk, that you laugh, that you smile.
If beauty was inches you'd go on for miles.
It's the way that you make everything seem worth while
the second that you say hello.
It's the way every love song reminds me of you.
Along with the stars and the sunset here too.
It's the way that you make the sky seem much more blue
the second that you say hello.
So if love is a drug then i guess i'm addicted.
All i want is to have yours.
It's making my heart sick.
Goodbye is what broke it and you were what fixed it

Lately I've been thinking hard
If life is a play what's my part?
Am I just meant to be a boy lost out at sea?
Cause I'm so much more
Chorus:
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail
And I'm alright, Yeah I'm just fine
Lately I've been thinking long
I have I been doing this all wrong?
Am i just meant to stay who I was yesterday?
Cause I'm so much more
Chorus:
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've never seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail
And I'm alright, yeah I'm just find.
Wait for sunset
I will fake my
I'll be back when I mistake come
So don't wave goodbye
No don't say goodbye to me
Just stay away from the seaside
Keeping your eyes on the distant horizon
Knowing that I'll be home soon
So I'm setting sail for a new shore tonight
One that I've never seen before tonight
It's easy to tell there is wind in my sail

I waited by the willow tree
Outside your parents house last night
Girl you know I warned you
Summer's coming soon
If you're gonna make a move
You better make your move
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast
But you know the thing i'll miss the most is you
Girl do you remember that time
I held your hands with mine
And we watched the stars come out that night
You said that your heart could
Hardly take the moons reflection on the glossy lake
And I just whispered "I love you"
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast
But you know the thing i'll miss the most is
If you miss me so much
That you can barely stand it
And your heart can hardly take
You know i'm never more than a phone call away
I won't hesitate to answer my phone
When your name shows up on my caller i.d
But you know i can't stay
Because summer is calling me
Calling me
Because you know that in a week or two
I'll be miles away from you
On the california coast

One two three four
Take me away to january I'm done with this year I tierd of everyone here
I just need some time alone
Before I'm ready to come back home
There's gotta be something else out there for me, I can feel it in my heart the day I started to dream.
There's more than this midwestern town
I can't let this place keep me down
So I tell myself...
There's a girl out on the coast of california, there's a world out there and it's waiting for you and I can hear them calling my name tonight...
Take me away I need the sand and the waves, the sunset, and lets not forget those warm autum days. I just need to get out of here... and vist the coast just to see her.
There's gotta be something else out there for me, I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream. there's more than this midwestern town. I can't let this place keep me down.
So I tell myself...
There's a girl out on the coast of california there's a world out there and it's waiting for you. and I can hear it calling my name tonight...
Well there's a girl out on the coast of california there's a world out there and it's waiting for you, and I can hear it calling my name tonight...

Spring is waking up the world here,
The end of school year.
And as summer draws near I'm growing anxious still.
Birds are singing in my backyard,
So the sun can't be too far off.
Painting the landscape with all it's golden rays.
And this is the last summer we'll have all to ourselves,
Before next year when we have to pack and move on out.
No matter what happens,
I'll miss the friends I've made in this town.
And I wish that time would just slow down.
I wonder what the future holds for me,
It's terrifying honestly.

You met her in summer
You thought that you loved her
And you called her yours by the springtime
But something was changing
And round came the fall
And by winter she ended it all
By winter she ended it all
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Oh be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Another summer just like all the others
And you fell in love by the springtime
But something was changing
And round came the fall
And by winter you ended it all
By winter you ended it all
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
Oh be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in
And oh you’ll be fine when the seasons come round
And you’ll love once again
But for now you’ll be hurting and desperate
Be patient while time heals the pain that you’re in

It was raining on the day when we first met but you held my hand and the sun came out.
I've been holding my breath ever since, cause it doesn't make sense how a princess like you could end up with a pauper like me.

The sun is pouring in,
through the window and right onto your skin.
And I've never seen a portrait quite so picturesque.
And the hours slip away,
I always struggle for the right words to say,
'Cause how could I try to describe in sentences,
that I can't believe that a girl like you exists.
So, don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out,
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about.
And just the thought of you sustains me and
that smile of yours can make the whole world new.
I love the way I feel when I'm with you.
When you say hello,
It makes me happier than you could ever know.
And the way you light up every room you've ever walked into,
makes me glad that I'm with you.
So, don't forget to smile when you see the sun come out,
'Cause your laughter and your love are all I've been thinking about.
Just the thought of you sustains me and
that smile of yours can make the whole world new.
I love the way I feel when I'm with you.
And the sun is pouring in,

Do you remember
The chill of the air in November
The autumn breeze wrapped us in blankets
As we held our breath and closed our eyes?
Do you recall that
We thought it would all last forever
The days of our youth and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?
But all good things must end
Do you remember
Watching the sunset together?
The rays of the sun lit up
Every last one of the memories
We held in our fists
And do you recall that
We always swore that we would never
Forget all those days and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?
But all good things must end
And we both knew
That we were just making
The poorest excuses like we all do
Just to feel like we have

Everything is different now
Why are you so distant now?
Everything has changed,
Yeah nothing is the same
Since the day you went away,
Nothing feels at all okay with me
Don't you ever miss the midwest sunrise?
The view of the stars and the full moon at night
Cause ever since you left,
There\'s been an open hole in my chest
Yeah you left this boy such a mess
But I\'m hoping that my heart will find some rest tonight
I'll try to explain exactly why I've been crying all the time since you walked out of my life
Everything is different now

I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if I'm on your mind
Cause darling I know that you've been on mine
I'm writing from a hotel room
It's been so long since I've seen you
Away from me cause I will be home soon
And I, I've been trying to find
The perfect words to write to say you're always on my mind
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,
Mallory, Mallory
Your dark brown hair and hazel eyes
The way your hands just fits on mine
I wanna have you with me all the time
I know that it's been said before
I may not sound original
But every single day I love you more
And I, I've been trying to find
The perfect words to write to say you're always on my mind
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,
Mallory
And if you're feeling lonely and I'm far away from home
You can hear my voice just put this record on
Mallory, I've finally put your name into a song
So when I play it on the road and everybody sings along
They will know just who it is
Who inspired me to write this melody,

You can rest easy tonight
Everything is going to be alright,
I promise.
Go to sleep and dream of me tonight;
Everything may not be perfect,
But at least we tried.
So tonight,
Sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby
Tonight.
I know that this hurts you,
It hurts me, too.
I wish there was something I could do
To make it easier for you.
Sometimes it's tough,
Too soon to call it love,
But I wanted to,
yeah,I wanted to.
But it's too late now to say
All the wonderful things that I thought of you.
So tonight,
Sweet dreams and sleep tight.
I've been trying so hard,
Can't get you out of my mind.
And if this is how it has to be,
Just promise you won't forget me,
And I'll leave you with this lullaby

Do you remember the summers, when we were still under the impression that time would stand still just for us.
Then like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
we couldn't even speak.
But i've made peace with the past, cause i've got something better than that. yeah, i've got something better than better than that.
i've got yoooouuuuuu.
And i've got love in the present tense. I've got yooouuuuuu.
And i've got more of this to look forward to.
.......
Do you remember the things we said, were matters of life and death.
Well they all seem less important to me now.
And like a dream it ended so suddenly, we couldn't even speak.
We couldn't even speak.
But i've made peace with the past, cause i've got something better than that. yeah, i've got something better than better than that.
I've got yooouuuuu.
And i've got love in the present tense. I've got yooouuuuu.
And i've got more of this to look forward to.
I've got yoooouuu. (I've got yooouuuuu)
And I've got love in the present tense.

Dear friends,

just know I'll always be around to talk about it.
And even when the night seems darkest
and hope is far away I'll be right beside you on that day.
No matter where our lives take us, even if we end up in diffrent places
I promise i'll always answer when you call..
And when you don't have a shoulder left to cry on,
I'll be the single thing you can rely on.
I'll promise ill be there to catch your tears as they fall.
Dear Friend,
I know sometimes that i have let you down,
just know I'll always be around and workin' on it.
And even when life seems the hardest and nothing feels okay,
I'll be right beside you on that day.

I promise i'll always answer when you call..
And when you don't have a shoulder left to cry on,

every time i see your smile, it makes my heart beat fast,
and though its much too soon to tell, im hoping this will last,
cause i just always wanna have you right here by my side,
the future's near but never certain,
so please stay here for just tonight,
i must have done something right,
to deserve you in my life,
i must have done something right along the way.
i just can't get you off my mind and why would i even try?

there'd be nothing to worry about at all
because you make my whole world shine.
as long as your here everything will be alright.
i must have done something right, to deserve you in my life,

I fell in love once before
Now I won't be fallin' for that anymore
Somewhere in your basement
I think I misplaced my heart
What did I do that for?
I don't want to see you
I don't want to hear your sweet voice
No I don't want to talk anymore
So if you happen to find it
I'd be much oblidged
if you'd drop it off at my front door
And don't leave a note 'cause I swear if you wrote me
I'd probably take it all back
And God only knows, I must stay on my toes
'Cause I can't allow myself to do that
I always wanted you to stay
But now I'm wishing you away
If this is what love feels like
I'm done with this
I fell in love once before
Now I won't be fallin' for that anymore
You'd whisper to me as we'd watch some TV
As we'd lay on your living room floor
I don't want to see you
I don't want to hear your sweet voice
No I don't want to talk anymore
So if you happen to think of me
Don't think that I will be waiting around like before
and don't call my phone
'cause I'm feeling alone
and I'd probably take it all back
And God only knows, I must stay on my toes
'Cause I can't allow myself to do that
I always wanted you to stay
But now I'm wishing you away
If this is what love feels like
I'm done with this
I fell in love once before

im growing up im working on these flaws of mine
im letting go of pride and shedding this disguise
im facing all the facts, im trying to improve
im cleaning up my act, and im doing it just for you
Chorus:
'Cause I am broken(I am broken would you fix me baby?)
but you are perfect(you are perfect would you fix me baby?)
and you are putting me together like a puzzle, piece by piece
darling don't you know your fixing me?
I am leaving for the road, and I am leaving you behind
but I swear I will come back, and I will call you every night
I am facing all my fears, and im trying to improve
I have been this way for years but I'd gladly change for you
(Chorus:)
And I never thought I could ever be with you
and I never wanted to change before,but now I do
cause I am broken and you are perfect

i keep staring out of this window
hoping that ill see you arrive
separated by all this distance
but darling it is so worth the drive
so it should come as so no surprise
that i love seein my reflection in your eyes,
and i know why, yeah i know why,
your an angel comin down
you are my anchor in the sound
and i am thankful for the way you keep me grounded but you are taking off again
it seems you never get to spend more then a couple days with me here on this planet
you drive me crazy with the way that i sit
around your way just to see
that perfect smile again
oh that grin
i wanna follow you wherever go and you know that i would
if you'd just say that you are stayin for good.
you keep leaving before im ready,
to let you go and im left alone.
and right now you come down to visit but darlin one day itll be home.
so it should come as so no surprise
that i love seein my reflection in your eyes,
and i know why, yeah i know why,
your an angel comin down
you are my anchor in the sound and i am thankful for the way you keep me grounded
but you are taking off again
it seems you never get to spend
more then a couple days with me here on this planet
you drive me crazy with the way that i sit
around your way just to see
your perfect smile again, oh that grin,

One more year and I'll be heading out on my own
Leaving friends and the place that I call home,
I don't wanna go
I just need to know that I can come back
I need to know, I only need to know that
You'll be here when I come back home
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss
All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling
One more year, we'd better make the best of this one
You just can't beat the weather here in autumn
Please stay close to me
I just need to know you're gonn call me
I need to know that everything will all be okay
While I'm away
'Cause I don't wanna miss
A single autumn evening here with you like this
I don't wanna miss
All those nights we danced by the moonlight
Conversations about nothing til midnight
You and I huddled close til the daylight came
Remember the colors reflected in your eyes,
The scene painted golden
As the sun rises over you and me, darling
(2x)
Over you and me, darling

We sit in your tree house,
The view from the top floor
The moon shinin' through,
All the leaves in the trees.
I lean close and whisper,
"Can we stay here forever?"
Out here in your backyard,
Just us and the autumn breeze.
For the first time
I feel like I'm at a loss for words,
There's nothing left to do
But move forward,
I'm finally ready for something good.
I dont know if you noticed,
But I'm trying not to show that i'm scared
That one day i might wake up,
And realize that you are not there.
For the first time
I feel like I'm at a loss for words,
There's nothing left to do
But move forward,
I'm finally ready for something good.
For the first time
I feel like I'm at a loss for words,
There's nothing left to do but move forward,

Leaves are changing you
the weather is changing you
you said I am changing too
it's that time of year again
autumn is here again
And all of the words that you said
keep ringing in my head
and I'm standing here
hanging by a thread
yeah I don't know what to do and so
for now I'll just enjoy my life on fairview
soaking up the view
I'm filling these pages
with the words and the phrases
I could use to make this dream come true
when the lights go out at night
I go to sleep and shut my eyes
and know that I am always dreaming of you
The air is getting colder
rest your head here upon my shoulder
and I swear that it will be okay
and if you must borrow my sweater
in the light of this fall weather
just be sure to have it back by tomorrow
Time is moving slower now
I wanna make it stop somehow
and stay here in this moment forever
I don't know what to do and so
for now I'll just enjoy my life on fairview
soaking up the view
I'm filling these pages
with the words and the phrases
I could use to make this dream come true
when the lights go out at night
I go to sleep and shut my eyes
and know that I am always dreaming of you
I don't know what to do and so
for now I'll just enjoy my life on fairview
soaking up the view
I'm filling these pages
with the words and the phrases
I could use to make this dream come true
when the lights go out at night
I go to sleep and shut my eyes
and know that I am always dreaming of you

Tonight it's just you and me
My heart's on my sleeve,
and I'm ready
I'm ready for anything
Yes, anything
Tonight I've got just the full moon
and the stars to work with
Are you worth it?
Are you worth it?
'Cause this could be it
This could be it
You're my shooting star don't fade away
And we've got one more night so please say you'll stay
Please tell me you'll never leave
And please don't fall asleep
'Cause I'm afraid that this dream could turn into a nightmare,
if I wake up tomorrow and you're not there
Tonight we'll say our goodbye's
I'll look in your eyes
And you'll look into mine
It will be perfect
It will be perfect
Tonight if everything goes right
We'll lay under these lights
and I'll tell you,
Yeah I'll tell you that it's alright,
It's alright
You're my shooting star don't fade away
And we've got one more night so please say you'll stay
Please tell me you'll never leave
And please don't fall asleep
'Cause I'm afraid that this dream could turn into a nightmare,
if I wake up tomorrow and you're not there
And please tell me you'll never leave
And please don't fall asleep
'Cause I'm afraid that this dream could turn into a nightmare,
if I wake up tomorrow and you're not there
I'll wake up tomorrow
I'll wake up tomorrow
I'll wake up tomorrow and you're not there
Yeah, I'll wake up tomorrow
I'll wake up tomorrow
I'll wake up tomorrow and you're not there
And you're not there

We're both losing sleep
Just to make our time last
Always in a hurry
Just to grow up too fast
But we've got time
Yeah, we've got time
The season's always changing
But we can't let go yet
Setting two alarms
In case we happen to forget
That we've got time
Yeah, we've got time
And you don't have to go
We've got our plans
But we keep our voices low
And baby, that's the way that these things go
We must be patient
While we're waiting
For the final chord
To play out for our song
We're both losing sleep
Just to make our time last
Trying just to hold on
To the memories that we have
But we've got time
Yeah, we've got time
A year's already passed us
But we can't let go yet
The calendar reminds us
When we happen to forget
That we've got time
Yeah, we've got time
And you don't have to go
We've got our plans
But we keep our voices low
Baby, that's the way that these things go
And you don't have to go
We've got our plans
But we keep our voices low
Baby, that's the way that these things go
We must be patient
While we're waiting
For the final chord
To play out for our song
So in the meantime

It's just a few more weeks 'til I'll be
Holding you in my arms, baby
The rising cost of gasoline and long-distance calls, put miles between us
We saw the stars come out that evening
And sail across the sky on kite strings
Some talk about the future and the plans we have
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon
'Cause I just wanna be closer to you
I promise that I mean every word
More than I thought I ever could
Calling you each night just to hear your voice
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon
'Cause I just wanna be closer...
And I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer to you
And I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer...
I just wanna be closer to you
And I don't know what else to say to you
I just wanna be the face you wake up to
And trust me, baby, we'll be together soon

As I look out on the sunrise on the Indiana
skyline,
and its rays are resting heavy on my face.
I think about the days I spent
Just wishing I was home again,
Instead of always traveling place to place.
I've been homesick
because I've laid deep roots
in Indiana soil where I spent up all my youth,
and I've been waiting just to be back home again
and feel the Indiana sun shine on my skin.
As I look out on the sunset
and I try hard not to forget,
All the memories that I made while I was here.
I think of all the friends I've made
and all the people I should thank
for lessons I have learned over the years.
I've been homesick
because I've laid deep roots
in Indiana soil where I spent up all my youth,
and I've been waiting just to be back home again
and feel the Indiana sun shine on my skin.
Home is where the heart's been waiting
oh so patient, just to hear the sound
of the back door open
it's always open
I've been hoping just to find my way back here
again.
Because I've been homesick
because I've laid deep roots
in Indiana soil where I spent up all my youth,
and I've been waiting just to be back home again
and feel the Indiana sun shine on my skin.

Just tell me you're doing okay
I can't help but think of you everyday
And I know that it's hard when I'm miles away
But I know we'll be together some day
Fall is gone
Winter is here
I spent all December just wanting you near
So I'm singing these words in the hope that you'll hear
You're the best thing that happened this year
I've fallen in love honestly
So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see
You mean more than the world does to me
Let me be honest with you
When I said I loved you it was more than the truth
You see, with each lonely night and day that I must go through
Well they just bring me closer to you
I've fallen in love honestly
So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see
You mean more than the world does to me
I've fallen in love honestly
So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see

I don't even know, iv never felt this way before but
with someone like you, it makes sense.
And i don't wanna go, ill stay with you forever just
as long as you love me too.
Just as long as you love me too.
Its the way that you talk and the way that you smile,
and the way that you love black and white.
Baby its the way that you hold my hand in the car,
and the way that we lie in the sand.
Its not that hard to see, that a single say without
you could make me go crazy.
It takes my breath away, gives me butterflies when
you hold me, when you sleep.
When you hold me in your sleep.
I never want to leave.
Its the way that you talk and the way that you smile,
and the way that you love black and white.
Baby its the way that you hold my hand in the car,
and the way that we lie in the sand, and we watch the sun
go down.

Do you know how much you meant to me?
Oh no.
Do you know I still carry the memories?
Oh no
Did you know that for me letting go wasn't easy?
Oh no, no you don't
Do you still listen to our lullaby?
Oh no
Does it help you get to sleep at night?
Oh no
Are you singing along by the pale moonlight?
Oh no, no you don't.
I just need a bit more time
To get you off my mind tonight
I'm thinking of your bright blues eyes,
Brighter than the stars that lit the skies,
An angel in disguise
I just need a bit more time
I wanna hold you in my arms tonight
I can't forget those bright blue eyes,
Can't forget the moment they met mine

Over fall break you're comin' down to see me.
I know that the distance doesn't make this easy.
But when we come together it makes such a lovely sound.
That's why I'd give anything I have to work this out.
And everything I ever did didn't matter up 'till now.
You make my life worth while like you've completed me somehow.
And when we come together it makes such a lovely sound.
That's why I'd give anything I have to work this out.
For the first time in my life I know that I'm in love.
I could write a thousand songs about you, they would never be enough.
When we come together it makes such a lovely sound.

In a hospital room
I'm struggling to stay awake
And you, are laying on your deathbed, But you don't know it yet.
It's all just a bit to much and so I
Step outside for just a moment.
For just a moment.
I stare out a dirty window pane
And listen to the rain
Pours down and it covers Everything.
And masks the noise from all the
Medical machinery
I am left with the sound of your
labor breathing.
(Chorus)
But you are close to going home now.
Your father welcomes you with
Open arms.
A room has been prepared
And so you don't have to be scared
As you leave behind the struggles
Of this world.
The next day came with no improvements
Leaving you to explain
These things take time.
These things take time.
You told me you were ready and
You weren't afraid to die.
He is always watching over you and I.

Our relationship is like a ride at a state fair
Give it few more weeks and it wont be there
It's meant to be taken down
It's meant to be torn apart
And honestly we both knew that from the start
But like a ride up high on a Ferris Wheel
It aint wrong to feel like you can fly
Knowing that you'll come back down
At the end of the ride
Our relationship is like a burning star, I guess.
And once our time runs out there will be nothing left
It's meant to shed its light, and its meant to some day die.
And honestly we both know that tonight is that night
But like a shooting star in a valid sky
It aint wrong to stop and to smile

On a runway once again on my way out of town
I think that I'm gettin to use to this and I don't know when I'll be back
Don't know when I'm comin back down
Am I comin back down?
The wheels are up I am stuck staring out of this window
Over the wing and the scariest thing is the fact that I'm practically
Living on planes these days, on these airplanes
So I'm waiting on the landing gear
To bring us down so I can hear your voice
And I'm getting out my cell phone now to speed dial your house
Cause it rains all day when I'm away
And I can't have you with me
And all that I can think about, is how much you love the city
And I want you here with me
There's a canvas of clouds below my feet
I'm painting it homesick because all that I love is behind me
I hope you still find me
Soon I'll be paying for taxis and riding in backseats
On my way back to hotels when I want my own bed
I get these instead
So I'm waiting on the landing gear
To bring us down so I can hear your voice
And I'm getting out my cellphone now to speed dial your house
Cause it rains all day when I'm away
And I can't have you with me
And all that I can think about, is how much you love the city

Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
Laaa, ah ah...
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done
But look how far we've come
There's still much to be done

I know that I'm awake
But I'm dreaming all the same
I know that you are scared
But baby, don't be
'Cause it's one thing to say
Everything will be okay
And quite another thing
To believe it
I know that sometimes
Things can get so rough
And I know that sometimes
Words are not enough
And I know, it's been a hard year
Being apart
But it was better
Than the one before
I know that we're okay
But I worry all the same
I know that you are strong
But you don't always have to be
'Cause it's one thing to say
Everything will be okay
And quite another thing
To believe it
I know that sometimes
Things can get so rough
And I know that sometimes
Words are not enough
And I know, it's been a hard year
Being apart
But it was better

We met more than two years back
It's frighting how time can go by so fast that you don't even notice when it's gone
There's something about Ohio that I can't help but love
But sometimes the highway miles seem so long
So don't cry darling
I'll be there in the morning but you know
That the worst part is always heading home
We spend so much time apart
I know sometimes it's hard but girl if there's one thing I'm sure of it is us
Besides we have the small things like eight-dollar engagement rings
To keep us sane till you get on that bus
So don't cry darling
You'll be here in the the morning but you know
That the worst part is always heading home
One day we'll start our new life behind the glow of the pale city lights
In an apartment of our own
It will be so perfect and we'll both know that it was worth the wait
I can hardly wait for that day to come
So don't cry darling
Cause one day every morning we'll both know

Did you know you have a special way
Of turning around my terrible days?
You make all the bad things go away
The second that you say "hello"
It's the way that you talk,
That you laugh,
That you smile
If beauty was inches,
You'd go on for miles
It's the way that you make
Everything seem worth while
The second that you say "hello"
It's the way every love song
Reminds me of you
Along with the stars
And the sunset here, too
It's the way you make the sky
Seem much more blue
The second that you say "hello"
So if love is a drug
Then I guess I'm addicted
All I want is to have yours,
It's making my heart sick
Goodbye is what broke it
And you were what fixed it

Her eyes are like the sunrise.
Her voice is like a summer breeze
When it's ninety-eight degrees outside,
It's refreshing.
She could be the best thing that's ever happened to me.
But she's so far away.
Somehow I'll find a way.
She's so far away from me,

Sometimes I think I need to get away,
Pack all my things,
Get on a plane,
Head off alone one summer day,
Never look back at the town i called home,
maybe visit california,
I hear its nice there in the summer,

Sometimes I think I need to get away,
Pack all my things,
Get on a plane,
Head off alone one summer day,
Never look back at the town i called home,
maybe visit california,
I hear its nice there in the summer,

You've got a hold over me,
When you're around girl, I struggle to breathe.
Cause you steal all the air you're not even aware that
you do.
You've got a light in your heart,
The way that you shine girl you light up the dark,
When the stars are not out and the moon has burned
out, I still find myself gazing at you.
If I could just see this through, If I could just be
with you,
Forever and always then I'd be okay.
And these lonely days would be all in the past.
If I could just speak right now,
If all of the words would just come out somehow,
Then you could just stay here for hours in my arms,
And we would be finally together at last.
You've got the best memory,
I love when you stop and you tell the story,
Of the day we first met with the details I tend to
forget.
You've got the loveliest way,
Of being impatient that I've ever seen.
Especially the way that you say you can't wait,
Till' I hold you in my arms again.
If I could just see this through, If I could just be
with you,
Forever and always then I'd be okay.
And these lonely days would be all in the past.
If I could just speak right now,
If all of the words would just come out somehow,
Then you could just stay here for hours in my arms,

This summer is coming to a close
And I'm starting to figure out that I can not live without you
I hope you're thinking of me
Cause all the stars above me sing your name
I'll never be the same again
So please don't forget to call me
Just to let me know you're doing ohkay, miles away from me
This summerr was the best I've ever had
I never want to see it end
So let's pretend that we're never going back home again
Just say those three words I know you're thinking
I'm sick of wasting time on these formalities
Please never leave my side
So please don't forget to call me
Just to let me know you're doing ohkay, miles away from me
So please don't forget to call me
Just to let me know you're doing ohkay, miles away from me
So please tell me, darling, why you're so far away when
I need you beside me tonight
So please tell me, darling, why you're so far away when
I need you beside me tonight
So please don't forget to call me

Lately I've been getting impatient
I can feel every second of every hour every day
Lately I've been thinking too much and
The thought of all the years I'll have to wait keeps me awake
Time is passing oh so slowly, oh
They say the futures looking bright
And I know these things take some waiting but
Aren't we told that all the time?
Lately I've been feeling like I am
Stuck with my roots in the ground but I am ready to move on
Lately I've been searching for words to
Describe how I'm feeling but lately all the words I have are wrong
Time is passing oh so slowly, oh
They say the futures looking bright
And I know these things take some waiting but
Aren't we told that all the time?
Time is passing oh so slowly, oh
They say the futures looking bright
And I know these things take some waiting but

Girl, I know that lately you've been worried,
So I wrote you this song just to say,
You don't need to be in such a hurry,
'Cause I promise that I'm here to stay (I'm here to
stay).
And baby I'm right here tonight,
There's just been a lot on my mind,
And I swear all I need is a little more time,
To make this alright.
Girl, I know that lately it's been tough,
So I'm playing you all of this noise,
In the hopes that those things can't get rough,
You can find some comfort in my voice (in my voice).
And baby I'm right here tonight,
There's just been a lot on my mind,
And I swear all I need is a little more time,
To make this alright.
And baby I'm right here tonight,
There's just been a lot on my mind,
and I swear all I need is a little more time,

She gave up on love at eighteen years old,
Said it was just a lie that the foolish told.
And finding herself all alone and cold,
She gave up on the world...
She lit up a smoke every day or two,
Till eventually she lost count of how many packs she'd gone through.
She thought that she had nothin' left to lose...
She gave up on the world...
She hasn't been home now in several days,
Tonight makes the third week straight.
He's been struggling to sleep since she ran away,
He hopes that she finds the strength that she's been looking for...
'Cause he just can't take the searching anymore.
She found some relief with a bottle in her hand,
But the bottle can be such a fickle friend.
She swore a million times she'd never drink again,
She gave up on the world...
She hasn't been home now in several days,
Tonight makes the third week straight.
He's been struggling to sleep since she ran away,
He hopes that she finds the strength that she's been looking for...

Three years ago, I was so sure
But now I'm not sure of anything anymore.
It's like the past is gripping my throat
And I choke
And I'm still hoping I'll find out
It's all a bad joke.
So don't, don't tell me it's over
And don't, don't say that I'll be alright
If I could trade twenty years
For one more with you
Then I would
I'd turn back time
Make the whole world rewind
If I could
If I knew that you'd haunt my dreams
Every time that I sleep
Then I'd lay my head down
And I'd close my eyes for good.
Three years went by
And I thought you and I were a sure thing.
But as it turns out,
I guess I can't count on anything
You'd change your mind
And nothing is quite what it seems
You said forever
But I guess you don't know what that means
So don't, don't tell me it's over
And don't, don't tell me I'll be alright
If I could trade twenty years
For one more with you
Then I would
I'd turn back time
Make the whole world rewind
If I could
If I knew that you'd haunt my dreams
Every time that I sleep
Then I'd lay my head down
