O.A.R. Album

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read - she likes to write,
she likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
but that's okay that's the way I like to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go

I say now hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
I said hey girl, come with me, and let yourself go, go, go, let yourself go

we went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight she was
But she didn't care, and I didnt mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say I'am crazy and I agree,
but thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go,
just let yourself go

Hush little baby dont say a word
i would like to give you evrything that you deserve
ill give you my heart ill give you all my soul
you can have all my money if you like you can control
in my mind i miss you every night that your not here
oh i just want to sit around your life and breath your air
and if i can not have you i just dont want to live
oh i got so much i would like to give

hey girl, come with me and let yourself go, come on, come on
hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go,
just let yourself go

Hey girl,but baby it all here just let yourself go
Hey girl,but baby but darlin let your self go
Hey girl,but baby but darlin i need to know
Hey girl,but my sweety but my lovely id love to let you go
Hey girl,but im comeing back for you and im looking to you girl

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

It's crazy how we all need this time a little more every way.
It's wild how we stay up nights losing part of the day.
The one time that you're loathing is there for you oh so well.
So pick up that precious someone relax for a delicate spell.

Rising up early the sun barely before me I could have sworn I just went to bed.
I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.
I grab my coat, my hat, my jacks...I put my hat on my head and I was off again as she said,

Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed about an hour ago.
Blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair,

Rising up early that sun rose barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed.
I've got to, but it was so cold, I've got trouble keeping hold of my lady sleeping next to me.
But I swear today, I'm gonna go off in a delicate way and I'll have so much fun I swear.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll be moving on,
I promise you, jack in my mouth, hat on my head, and I was off again she said,

Relax for a delicate few.
Just me and you.
I swear to you true, I do.
Relax for a delicate few.

back in the day...
oh, it wasn't that far.
not a day goes by that won't be in the back tomorrow.
take today as a sample to you.
it looks cloudy outside,
what are you gonna do?

well, we could get up
or we could get on down
we could drive to the country or head downtown,
Baby i'll join you too.........

we could have been so much better off than before
if we held on true

take today(take today), and go walk for a while
well just sit back jack and relax and enjoy your smile
well let your mind go...
for a minute or two,
let your mind levitate for a delicate few. baby.....
ill join you too.
we could have been so much better off than before
if we held on true (held on true3x)

i said but lately i've been feeling mighty old
i said the sun has got me cracked and this wind has got me cold
and i'm so damn tired of losing my friends
every single time i go and lose my ends
i say but that's okay, i'm on my way
i dont wanna be here but maybe i'll end up that way
and in awhile when i realize there's something new
but until then i got to hold on true...

if only she knew
what was going right,
if only she knew,
i would not be alone tonight.
if only she knew
what was going wrong
if only she knew
i would not be singing this song.

if only she knew
what would i do?
would i run?
maybe stick around just for fun
would i take you out just us two?
that would be grand
if only she knew

if only she knew what to do...
relax with you
and let myself get lost in your smile
well i could lose it all for awhile
i love you deep, if only you knew
well i would give it all to you
love you true if only you knew

if only she knew
what would i do?
would i run?
maybe stick around just for fun
would i take you out just us two?
that would be grand
if only she knew

He walks these streets some nights until way past twelve.
His mind can't decide if he's in heaven...he just can't tell.
He sees her standing there, smiling by the lamp post shine.
His heart can't remember ever feeling, oh, so fine.

She gone.
She not coming back, no way.
She gone.
She not coming back to stay.
She gone.

And as she turns away his eyes lost in her back.
His feet continue down some ancient railroad track.
And right then, right there he sees that he's done wrong.
And as he opens his eyes, realizes that she gone.

Well, she gone, she not coming back, no way.
She gone, she not coming back to stay.
Well, she gone, she never coming back again.
She gone, what's he gonna do 'til then?
She gone.
She gone.
She gone.
She gone so far away.
She gone.

It's been a long, long time since I lost myself.
Put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf.
So I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go.
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know.

What a long, long time...
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain...
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

My days I've spet relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you.
So this time I swear I will loosen my grip.
On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

So, over and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these - forest trees - and greens that blind your eyes
To lounge upon that throne I bought,
Confer there with the wise.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time,
Long time...yeah.

So here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear.
For who? What can I do? But let them all come through the wall
And though some oppose, many of these things I know,
I'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days.
I'm coming home.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin' in the rain,
Losing my mind
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady, way down in my country
She was so pretty thet my eyes threw disguises at me
An we would sit and wonder 'bout the future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head,
said i've been tired in my head...

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady with eyes as blue as the sea
Now she would sit and stare directly through me
Throughout the past, there was nothing left for me
But i've been working five days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Said i've been tired in my head...

Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed.....

Its 3 a.m., I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed (x2)

Wanna go to bed...
wanna wanna go to go to bed...
wanna wanna wanna go to bed....

I was riding down the highway when I thought I
Spotted someone in the road
I said, “You going my way?”
And he turned his head and said, “Man, I don’t know.”
So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh
Well I asked him, “what you running from?”
And he said, “My man, I’m running from my past.”

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn’t think a thought about Mr. Brown, he’s through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through.
There’s no need to come around unless you’re true.
Someone in the road.

Well we kept on driving down that road for about an hour and half.
The way that we were moving left half myself
Reflecting in the past
Tired of endless talking, stopped the car and
Started walking down a path.
Lifted sprits to my heart, Lord knows that anger never lasts.

And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud
And then we drank a brew
I didn’t think a thought about Mr. Brown, he’s through.
I heard the loud, marching sound, of a revolution coming through
There’s no need to come around unless you’re true.
Someone in the road.

Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise.
What you see going by is a shadow.
You’ve got to live in front of your eyes.
In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past.
In a typical day we’ll stay to see what’s gonna last.

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

Well there was a place we’d chase through the woods in my juvenile days.
What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay.
But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly.
And I could have chilled at will, but I didn’t know how to die.

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

But this time it’s gonna change
For,
I’ve been lazy, and I been crazy.
Has been stolen,
But from,

From this day on I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you.

Well there was at time when I could have flown out of the room.
Yet I didn’t care just where I was going after noon.
Though I didn’t know and I chose to live my life so fair.
And I could have died, but I chose to live here instead

But I didn’t mind at all.
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all
I didn't mind at all

I’ve been woken, and I have been broken
But this time its gonna change
For, I’ve been lazy and I have been crazy
But this time it’s not hazy at all
Cause I’ve been,
I’ve been chose my heart has been stolen
But from,

From this day on, I swear to you true.
From this day on, I swear to you true.
I say now way back when you and all your friends
Had some good times we should do this again we’d say
Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we’d say.
But in the mean meanwhile, I’ll just walk the mile.
I won’t look back won’t forget your smile
Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we’d say.
But I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do I.

NO.
I won’t give you back.
NO.
Won't give you back.
NO.
Won't give you back.
NO.
Can't give you back.
NO.
I won't give you back my baby.
Said I can't give you back.
NO.
Said I won't give you back.
NO.
I swear to you true.
From this day on I swear to you true.
I swear.
I do, I.
God, I do.
My baby, I swear to you true.
I swear, I do.

She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't
you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute
from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how
is that a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm
looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I
really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you
never really let her know.
And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?

Well I've been through these phases, I've walked
through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm a little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience
that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed
her I still would be out the door.
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't
that what she's for?

And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.
Why can't we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.
