Lee DeWyze Album

And there's a casting call
Down the hall
Are you in
And they call your name
But it's not the same as when you began

Here we go Mister G said
Here we go again

And no time to waste or hesitate
But isn't it

No time to waste or hesitate, isn't it

Mister G said
Mr G said

If your tales tell true
It'll come to you
I am sure

I went to the edge of the world to find you
And all I found was me
Waste of time
Who do you belong to?

One light with the dark
And the rest go out
Does anybody know?
Cause I don't

Where I'm gonna go,
You never know
And we're all just figments of imagination

We circled then drained away
To the center was the story again
Never ceases to avoid me

Where do you draw the line?
Love starts in a bottle of wine,
Overdone but never overdone

Does anybody know?
Cause I don't

Where we're gonna know,
You never know.
And we're all just figments of imagination

Who said where it was black?
Where do you go when you slip between the cracks?
Cause I don't and you know
But does anybody know
Does anybody know?
Cause I don't

Where we're gonna go,
You never know
And we're all figments of imagination

The sun is barely coming up
And I haven't slept yet
You're barely waking up
And all out of cigarettes

In your bed
You sleep like a baby
With your hands close to your chest
Your dreams slowly dance around
To the rhythm of your breath
Of your breath

I don't mind, it's alright.
I don't mind, yours and mine.
Yours and mine

Always in front of what is important
That way for a night

I don't mind, it's alright.
Well, I don't mind, yours and mine.

What do I do when you let me down again?
Cause you will let me down again.

I don't mind, it's alright.
Well, I don't mind, yours and mine.
Yours and mine
(What do I do?)
Yours and mine
(What do I do?)
Yours and mine
(What do I do?)
Yours and

If what they say is true
Then I'm committing last
Sitting on the other side
But I'm staring at the same grass

They said it's better to have loved and lost
Then to have never loved at all
But all I really needed was time
Someone that could show me a sign
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was time

Sing with me, come tell your story
Love and misery and everything in between
I don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love that she'd be the first to see

Now, I don't mind listening
To your fables and stories
You always said that things wouldn't be
The way that they should be

But all I wanted was time
Someone that could show me a sign
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was time

Sing with me, come tell your story
Sing with me, come tell your story
Love and misery and everything in between
I don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love that she'd be the first to see

But do you want to see?
Does anybody ever really want to see?
Do you want to see?

Don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love she'd be the first to see

Wake up
Remembering just what she said
Memories of things that never even happened
Run through your head

I keep the shades pulled tight
To let the light in
My eyes have all been closed
Seeing only what if

But when you said goodbye
Is what you meant goodnight
'Til tomorrow
If it's me in your dreams
I'd sleep the day away
Cause when you say goodbye
What I hear is goodnight
So keep it in the night

The fight's in the love and aftermath
And me melting into you
Melting into the place you dreamt last
Don't leave
The fear eats me away

The fear you're dreaming alone

But when you said goodbye
Is what you meant goodnight
'Til tomorrow
If it's me in your dreams
I'd sleep the day away
Cause when you say goodbye
What I hear is goodnight
So don't leave me goodnight

But when you said goodbye
Is what you mean goodnight
'Til tomorrow
Is it me in your dreams?
I'll sleep the day away
But when you say goodbye
What I hear is goodnight
But when you,
You don't let it leave your mind

Did you ever imagine that you could be
A captain on a ship, sailing at sea?
Mapping the answers to questions
You have made
Is this what you are, it's a maybe you need
The feeling of freedom, the heavens they speak
Oh, doesnt it feel great?

But you have the right to be wrong
Singing that familiar song
And oh, my beautiful cast away
Oh, my beautiful

You write down the words
The page turns for the worst
You're loving the sound
But it sounds so rehearsed
Singing your anthem to your only friend
Your heart to your brain to your arm to your pen
And oh, my beautiful cast away

Oh, my beautiful

The captain, oh captain
What shall he connect
When you stand on the bow with the wind to your chest
Oh, doesn't it feel right?
But you have the right to be wrong
Singing that familiar song
And oh, the beautiful cast away
Oh, oh, beautiful...
Oooh, oooh...

Cause you have the right to be wrong,
Singing that familiar song
And oh, the beautiful cast away
And oh, the beautiful...

I never listen
To the voices in my head, hmm,
You always told me
That it's better off that way
I don't mean to intrude
But you best be getting on your way
I am alone and that's the way,
The way it's gonna be,
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

But it's so much easier
When the devil's on your side,
Is on your side
It's all a game, baby,
So you best go run and hide,
You best go run and hide...

Well,
Back to his perfect joy
Oh, he's smiling all the time
It's so all in my head,
It's all in my head
And that's just fine

You stayed too long,
Now it's time for you to go
But people do walk away
There's one thing you need to know,
That you need you know

Well, it's so much easier
When the devil's on your side,
It's all a game, baby,
So you best go run and hide,
You best go run and...

Dudu, nono, dudu, nonono...

Because it's so much easier
When the devil's on your side,
When he's on your side
It's all a game, baby,
So you best go run and hide,
You best go run and...

So much was said,
But so little to say
When there's reasons for wrong
And we turn to say

They get the lies suffocating the truth
Cause that's when your color starts shining through
What color are you?
Sometimes you go a shade under a blue

Living our lives in nothing but grey
And everyone knows rainbows follow rain

All the books have been written
All the stories been told
But the writers move on
And the young turn to old

What do you do if the problem is you?
Cause that's when your colors start shining through
What color are you?
Sometimes you go a shade under blue

Living our lives in nothing but grey
And everyone knows rainbows follow rain
Time still goes on
Even though we're not here
Then and only then will they see so clear

What do you do if the problem is you?
Cause that's when your colors start shining through
What color are you?
Sometimes we go our shade under blue
Living our lives in nothing but grey

And everyone knows
And everyone knows
And everyone knows
And everyone knows rainbows follow rain

Don't pretend that you don't see it
Yeah, what's going on
Yay, all around
Don't even try to tell me
That what we do is right,
Why do we have to fight

But when you reach the gates of Heaven
And He's waiting there for you
There is no time for excuses
What the hell you gonna do
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah...

And there's a way and we can find it
Yeah, oh, baby, rise
That we can realize
We've done it all wrong,
We've done it all wrong
Yeah, but there's a way
That we can all just get along...

But when you reach the gates of Heaven
And He's waiting there for you
There is no time for excuses
What the hell you gonna do
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, hmm...

So just follow me
And we'll be right on time
We'll have lived love,
Sing it one more time...

But when you reach the gates of Heaven
And He's waiting there for you, oh,
And there's no time for excuses,
Yeah, yeah,
What the hell you gonna do
Yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Hey
Why don't do what anybody else would?
Go about it the familiar way
A one-way ticket to LA

And people keep on saying
That I belong in California
But I'm fine here

I don't think that I could fly
Maybe a train or I'll just drive
I like it here
The sky is blue and the air is clear

And people keep on saying

That I belong in California
But I'm fine here

Don't listen to what they say
Cause you could go about it
Mmm your own way

And people keep on saying
That I belong in California
But I'm fine here
I'm fine here

So far I haven't found a way
To break her the news today
No matter how hard she cries
I tell her that everything's all right
And everything is all right
Mmm hm

I take her by the hand
And help her understand
That everything's all right.
Mmm hm

I told her she could stay the night
We were up till the morning light
And that's when I knew, my friend
That everything was all right
Yeah, well, everything was all right

Take me by the hand
And help me understand
That everything's all right

Mmm hm

I've told her a thousand times
And she's told me a thousand lies
No matter how hard I cry
I know that everything's all right
And everything is all right
Mmm hm

Take me by the hand
And help me understand
That everything's all right
Yeah
Mmm hm

Take me by the hand
I'll help you understand
That everything's all right
