Wait right here is all she said to me and so right here I stay, Time has reached our home and I’ve been left alone, it’s carried her away, and everyone keeps saying nothing helps but time, time is all I own, and time won’t stop replaying over in my mind I watch the hours slow down, so I crawl underneath my blanket where I can hide away I know I can’t take it cause I see now it’s just one of those days, Now a year has passed alone I stay inside and I await the rain, to wash away your face so I don’t have to hide, the sight of you is painful, so I crawl underneath my blanket where I can hide away I know I can’t take it cause I see now it’s just one of those days, I can’t stop seeing your face, I can’t stop seeing your face, every place so I crawl underneath my blanket where I can hide away I know I can’t take it anymore cause I see now it’s just one of those days


. . .



Sittin’ here on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I can’t explain in any other way

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah I’d rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Now here’s the sun come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
You’re the one thing that I’m missing here
With you beside me I no longer fear

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
LyricsNeed to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah I’d rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long
So now listen to me say

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah I’d rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Say you feel the way I do


. . .


I woke
Dreaming we had broke
Dreaming you left me
For someone new

And you cried
Drying those brown eyes
Crying you're sorry
Sorry won't do, but...

This is the way I need to wake
I wake to you
And you never left me
All that I'd dreamt had been untrue
Open my eyes
I see sky

Oh, oh, oh woah, no
The way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine
Just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight

Last night
We had a great fight
I fell asleep in a horrible state
Then dreamt
That you loved my best friend
My heart would not mend
Seemed it was fake, but

This is the way I need to wake
I wake to you
And you never left me
All that I'd dreamt had been untrue
Open my eyes
I see sky

Oh, oh, oh woah, no
The way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine
Just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight

Sometimes I forget to
Love you like I should
But I'd never leave you
No, I never would
I never would

Oh, oh, oh woah, no
The way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine
Just say you'll stay forever mine

Oh, oh, oh woah, no
The way to keep me on my toes
I, I, I will be fine
Just say you'll stay forever mine
'Til we fall asleep tonight
'Til we fall asleep tonight

. . .



I like the way you’re not afraid
You got the world planned in your mind
People say you cannot do
Well they don’t know a friend like you

The girl you loved has gone away
Still too young to know her heart
She’ll return you’re love renewed
Cause she’ll never find a friend like you

When I had no one to call
All the world had shut me down
I showed up at your door so blue
I thank God I had a friend like you

Many times I’ve gone without
A home, a meal, a pair of shoes
If you had 3 you’d give me 2
Their ain’t no other friend like you




. . .



Some kind of magic
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down at me
And bathes me in its light

I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
I never had to ask

It’s a brand new day
The sun is shining
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be ok

Most kind of stories
Save the best part for last
And most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
LyricsYeah you make your past your past

It’s a brand new day
The sun is shining
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be ok

This cycle never ends
You gotta fall in order to mend

It’s a brand new day
It’s a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know I’ll be ok


. . .



I remember when i saw your face the time and place my left hand could trace the entire night you looked like the sun i was the only one who could stare until you're done shining on me and as i drank my wine and let the world fade away the sunrise tried to end it while we tried to stay the rest of my life can't compare to this night and only the heartaches have given me sight, they bring me to you, they bring me to you moon pours through the ceiling tonight embraces us tight shows me we're right for each other and as we lie here and let the world fade away the sunrise tries to end it while we try to stay the rest of my life can't compare to this night and only the heartaches have given me sight, they bring me to you, they bring me to you, they bring me to you, they bring me to you it's all about the first night and last, some people say well i love you so much more tonight, more than yesterday the rest of my life can't compare to this night and only the heartaches have given me sight, they bring me to you, they bring me to you, they bring me to you, they bring me to you


. . .


Baby you don't even know me
But one day I'll get up the courage as you pass by you'll see
Oh baby one look just might save me
I need you to slow by the corner, stop right in front of me

Till then I'll see you hopefully through
I do wish that you'd ask me to ride along
It wouldn't be wrong to tell me more than I know about you

She drives a vegetable car, diesel, Mercedes, green, two door
I barely know who you are
Lisa Lobe glasses, I'd sure like to ask you to stay

Baby I need you to save me
The one thing that my heart requires is that you admire me

Till then I'll see you hopefully through
I do wish that you'd ask me to ride along
It wouldn't be wrong to tell me more than I know about you

She drives a vegetable car, diesel, Mercedes, green, two door
I barely know who you are
Lisa Lobe glasses, I'd sure like to ask you to stay

How do I know why the sight of you makes me weak?
Each time I see you turn onto my street
Your hair is always up in a bun, this girl is the one

She drives a vegetable car, diesel, Mercedes, green, two door
I barely know who you are
Lisa Lobe glasses, I'd sure like to ask you to stay, don't go

. . .


Something's wrong from the hilltop
I know you can see
I look strong
All together
Though inside I'm weak

Still I bleed
Still I wait to heal the wound from my crime
What I need are more bandages
They've torn over time

You're shelter from the rain
Turn around, walk away

Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be
free of me

I can be who you wanted somewhere down the road
When I'm whole, when the rains are done, when I've reaped all I've sewn
But here and now, on my hands and knees I crawl through the mire
And your bed is so soft and warm, I'm weary and tired

You're shelter from the rain
Turn around, walk away

Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me

Leave me alone
I'll find another home
I'm on my knees crying out please

Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me

Free of me
Free of me
Free of me

. . .


I've been down this road before
Walk out the door
Leave you on the floor
Sometimes you run and hide
You're foolish pride
What's keeps me from giving you more
So the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
Someday I'll return when its time
With a dream in kind
Chruch bells will chime
You stand before me surrounded by lights
Dresesed in white
You throw flowers in the air this night
But the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
`Cus you got growing up to do
Looks like the rain is pouring down on me
Its drowning me now
All I want is to come back home
And this old corrdoroy coat is not keeping me dry
But I can't think of what else to try
That's why the best thing I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do
Yeah
The best thing I can give to you is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growing up to do

. . .


We are grown but cannot see
Lost our world of make believe
Simple times now seem so far
Used to be in my backyard
Yeah, the world was still in my backyard

But, we are okay, we are alright
We sing very loud,
Yeah, we're singing
We are okay, we are alright
Close our eyes, close our mouth
Yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

Build me a home from a cardboard box
Many windows never locked
This is how we used to play
Shorter nights and longer days
With faith we would not fade away

But we are okay, we are alright
We sing very loud
Yeah, we're singing
We are okay, we are alright
Close our eyes, close our mouth
Yeah we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

And so it goes
We can never seem to find, the time we lost
Though we try at any cost
We try, we sing

We are okay, we are alright
We sing very loud
Yeah, we're singing
We are okay, we are alright
Close our eyes, close our mouth
Yeah we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

. . .



Some are reachin' few are there want to reign from a hero's chair some are scared to fly so high well this is how we have to try have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear brother brother we all see your hiding out so painfully see yourself come out to play a lover's rain will wash away your envy and your fear so have no envy and no fear when your sister turns to leave only when she's most in need take away the cause of pain by showing her we're all the same have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear every day we try to find search our hearts and in our minds the place we used to call our home can't be found when we're alone so have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear
