Verse 1

I lie awake, can’t sleep again, Flip through the channels once more. Just can’t escape, the feelings when, I watched you walk out that door. You don’t call, and I don’t write, How am I supposed to see it your way when you’re so out of sight? If you’d take one step girl, I’d walk a mile, or pick up the phone so we can talk for a while.

Pre Chorus

So instead of wasting time being sad and alone, try changing your mind, I’ll swallow my pride girl, come on back home.

Chorus

How we gonna try to make these ends meet, How we gonna try to make it right? I’ll go halfway to the moon if maybe you’ll come meet me on the other side. How we gonna try to make these ends meet, How we gonna try to make it right? I’ve been loving you inside forever, and I don’t have to tell you this ain’t right.

Verse 2

How am I supposed to talk to you if you don’t even try? Baby don’t you want to know what happened to the love in your life. I know that you’re listening, and you’re hearing me just fine, It’s time to close these doors and leave your baggage behind.

Pre Chorus

So before you get to thinking about who’s next in that line, I’m gonna stand right up, no taking my place, we’ll make it this time.

Chorus

How we gonna try to make these ends meet, How we gonna try to make it right? I’ll go halfway to the moon if maybe you’ll come meet me on the other side. How we gonna try to make these ends meet, How we gonna try to make it right? I’ve been loving you inside forever, and I don’t have to tell you this ain’t right.

Bridge

I’m tired of getting nowhere, I’m tired of wasting all my time….  Can’t we try to start it over?  And Do it again….

Verse 1:

Two country boys in desolation feeling their way out of this life Summer nights and good vibrations seeing their names strung up in lights

Pre Chorus:

But one day's comin' when When these boys turn into men They'll be something special then

Chorus:

Bobby and Me grew tall in that ghost town Bobby and me raised Hell tonight. Won't stop to breathe until we fall down Not till we see the morning light

Bobby and Me raised up for the run down And held dreams with all our might How can we climb these walls if they fall down When all that's left is all that's right

Someday fate is gonna smile on...

Bobby and Me.

Verse 1:

Broken clock on the dash reads quarter to three, and though it may read wrong it’s twice as long as I’ll ever need. Faded postcards where you’d rather to be, you sing along with the song that carries you on this highway with me.

Chorus:

Well we braved this stormy weather, but we’ve got so far to go, baby I can’t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no? Wherever we fall we fall together, I’ll carry you up this dusty road, but baby I can’t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no?

Verse 2:

Well take my hopes and dreams, and tie ‘em up at the seams, wrap them up and send them someplace somewhere outside of your reach. Every sun that rises could be Sundays with me, it’s not for free girl, it’s me girl that you see.

Chorus:

Well we braved this stormy weather, but we’ve got so far to go, baby I can’t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no? Wherever we fall we fall together, I’ll carry you up this dusty road, but baby I can’t hold on forever, is it yes or is it no?

Verse 1:

Well six o’clock blue room the morning light shines through her hair, As if she, she’d even care. And I can’t conceive that there’s been no good reason till now, for my feet to even touch the ground. To live is to love and to want not from no one but beauty, that you don’t ask for but you see it in her eyes.

Chorus:

Inside your blue room, the colors they shine through every dark room that I’ve ever had.

Verse 2:

Life ain’t just living it’s loving but I do forget where the truth is lying at. But to love someone you first must love yourself, and I’m getting there, oh I’m getting there.

Open up and greet the daylight, see how the sun it shines, like he's been waiting for her all night long. She begins to lay her day out, picks up a dress and smiles; the radio is playin’ her favorite song.

Daddy tells her that he loves her, oh no time for getting nowhere, she kicks up her heels and moves along.

Chorus:

You keep fighting holdin’ on, I remember what your mamma said, I can't seem to write this song it gets blurry again. I wish I was holdin’ on to something special now and then, I think I can wait that long for this feeling again.

Verse 2:

Five O’clock and birds are callin', Slip to the street outside, her Romeo is ever standing by Roll the windows and the top down, push back the seat and fly, her fingers painting shadows in the sky.

Pre Chorus:

By the moonlight shines an angel, bathed in the light of constellations, that keep watch beneath a faithful sky.

Chorus:

You keep fighting holdin’ on, I remember what your mamma said, I can't seem to write this song it gets blurry again. I wish I was holdin’ on to something special now and then, I think I can wait that long for this feeling again.

New years everything still the same, we hit the wall and feeling nothing. What do you have to take till you start to break? Close your mind to these things they said, close the door and lay down your head. Is this how you want it to be, living so carefully?

Chorus:

She says I feel like I’m falling to pieces, just like before, and I knew it and now I can see right through it, again.

Verse 2:

Little world and big reality, no consolations when you’re obsolete. What do you have to say when they throw you away?

Verse 1:

Sympathy’s trappings are wasted on few, And time can't unlock all the doors we've walked through.

And stars shine much brighter with tears wiped away, Cause I know a fighter who triumphed today.

Pre Chorus:

One touch of her skin and my senses cave in, never thought I'd believe again…

Chorus:

Cause I can never remember, the time or the place, And she, she just can't recall, the smile on her face. And lately these days have been begging my heart to surrender…

Maybe I just should say nothing at all.

Some say these moments are cracks we fall through, But I say the arms of an angel ring true.

I can't comprehend how I lived till that day in September, Or why I keep hoping this dream ends with you.

It's such a game we play, wasting our time away, praying for love to stay…

Cause I can never remember, the time or the place, And she, she just can't recall, the smile on her face. And lately these days have been begging my heart to surrender…

Maybe I just should say nothing at all.

Verse 1:

Time keeps a watchful eye on the paths on which we tread, fragile footprints on the sand fall out of sight. And this old soul is a cryin’ a loud for a chance to rest his head, how can I feel left when all I feel is right.

Pre-Chorus:

And I wonder why, all the moments of my life, are plagued with empty promises and strife. And her shallow ties keep my memories warm at night, In the cradle of her sighs that blind my eyes.

Chorus:

Never told you who I am And I waited on the line Flying high on borrowed wings, Never sold you on a lie

But I promised you this sin, And it burns me every time, While it crawls beneath my skin, And refuses to subside Never get over again

Verse 2:

Saints pray for angels wings like the desert prays for rain, While I pray for the strength to reconcile, With all the strands of impossible I created with your pain, where do I begin God knows it’s been a while.

Pre Chorus:

So I stare outside through the windows of my life, and watch the tides of change begin to rise. As I say goodbye to the pain and to her cries, And feel the wind beneath me one last time.

Never told you who I am And I waited on the line Flying high on borrowed wings, Never sold you on a lie

But I promised you this sin, And it burns me every time, While it crawls beneath my skin And refuses to subside Never get over again.

Verse 1:

Are you all alone? Are you inside out? Are you waiting for me, to take your breath away? Precious memories, marching through my mind, won’t you lay down your armor, and place your hands in mine.

Pre Chorus:

Do you ever wake, reaching out for me? Think you made a mistake, I’m not the enemy, I’m only begging please.

Chorus:

Can I kiss your eyes? Get lost one more time again, can I sacrifice for all the tears that you’ve cried? Can you still feel my lips, kissing till’ three? It makes me wonder inside, girl are you all alone like me?

Do you remember when, we would dance all night? I remember the times when our love was so strong, we’d never see the light.

Bridge:

Verse 1:

You ask me, how am I, well I’m still standing ain’t I? That’s something, that’s one thing that’s gone my way. This morning I’m sinking, although the sun is rising, I’m falling recalling my yesterday.

Chorus:

This is my unhappy anniversary, but I lie saying it’s just another day. Here’s to my unhappy anniversary.

Verse 2:

I know it’s such bad form to still be broken hearted, I should ask her best friend to ease my pain. I drink up and think up a toast to numb the hours, no silver no diamonds, just flat champagne.

Chorus:

This is my unhappy anniversary, but I lie saying it’s just another day. Here’s to my unhappy anniversary

Verse 1:

I’m tired of fighting again, I just can’t breathe this air and I, I’m tired of losing this when, the only thing I’ve ever cared about, Is running out on, is running over, is running far from me.

I can’t remember how life should go on without you in my dreams.

It’s time to dry these tears, I’m tearing down this wall between us and, Forgive for all these years, I couldn’t see how much you mean and I, I know you’re wondering, I know you’re waiting for the pain once more.

But time is leaving, and time is precious, and time is walking out that door.

Chorus:

Cause I’ve been waking up to, empty mornings and I, I’m tired of feeling everything. And I’ve been wanderin’ through this, sea of warnings and I, can’t seem to wake up from this dream.

Verse 2:

With every breath you take, these broken wings grow a little stronger and, Don’t ever hesitate to hold on just a moment longer cause, Cause this is something and this is one thing that can save us all. From drowning under the saints of wonder who catch us when we fall.

Chorus:

Cause I’ve been waking up to, empty mornings and I, I’m tired of feeling everything. And I’ve been wanderin’ through this, sea of warnings and I, I reach my head back and I scream.

Bridge:

These walls are closing in, can’t seem to break this fall try not to lose it all. Cause every breath you take suffocates me. Can’t we pretend to try there isn’t always pain between you and I? Cause heaven knows it’s not too late.

Pre-Chorus:

And every now and then she stumbles, and some times she falls apart, but I tell her, you’ve gotta remember…

Chorus:

You know that I’ll Be Around. Anytime you feel helpless, anytime you feel down, you’ve gotta be courageous, you’ve gotta turn things around. Anytime you feel hopeless, anytime you fall down, I’m gonna lift you up, you know that I’ll be around.

Verse 1:

And so I said, it’s not enough to be in love, there’s more to understanding all the words I’m thinking of. I confess, though it hasn’t been that long, when you wrap your arms around me I can never feel that strong.

Pre-Chorus

Through it all, I’m the smile behind the tears, I’m the laughter in our fears, I have to say…

Chorus:

It’s been a very good year.

It’s been a very good year Ooh yeah

Pre-Chorus 1:

Cause I know that you love to see me stumblin’, and I know you can’t want for me to fall again, and I bled everytime you kicked me way back when, and I’ll do it again… because…

Chorus:

I know you’re listening to this on the radio, I bet you’ve never been dismissed in stereo, I think of all of the times you ever let me down, I think of all of the ways… Get a life.

Verse 2:

Remember all of those times you said I didn't belong... well they're not gone, And all those Saturday nights when I playing my songs, and you and your friends would come and laugh along.

Pre-Chorus:

Couldn’t bring myself to be without you now, as hard as I try. The hills around me singing with your sound, you’re near and you’re far.

Pre-Chorus:

Can’t say goodbye my friend, there’s no beginning so how can there be an end. My way is set but I am learning, to hold it out and hold on to the hand that touches mine.

Verse 1:

She’s got a lot to learn, about the way things move, She’s falling way too fast. I know she’s got a lot to prove, this could be her last chance.

Chorus:

She’s ready to fall, and she doesn’t know, just how to stop when the moving is slow, She can’t get enough, she’s losing control, of all that she knows… she’s ready to fall.

She’s dancing on the moon, keeps reaching for the stars, not ever afraid to lose. I know she’s got a place in her heart, and never seems to feel the pain, And it makes her want to try it all again

Verse 1:

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon. It's been a while, but somehow I knew. I can't believe the time that's passed us by. Christmas trees and memories lost in my mind.

I can still feel your skin on my cheek. Even though it's been nearly two weeks. Wonder if you're movin' down that line, picking up the pieces, wasting time.

So far no good, I remember the day I remember the time I remember the moment that we kissed. I remember the sight, I remember the taste, I remember the feeling of your lips. I remember how you threw it away, I remember everyday… so far no good.

Verse 3:

So baby please look in the mirror, and open up those eyes, and take a look at our reflection, cause you need to realize. I’m not walking out that door until I know that when I do I’m holding you again.

It’s been a lifetime since we felt that strong and I, I can’t believe it’s been so long.

So far no good I remember So far no.

So far no good, so far no good, so far no good. I remember my heart when I put on the line, I remember the day I remember the time.

Verse 1:

Don’t say goodbye, there’s no reason why, I won’t have the chance to say I love you one more time.

Verse 1:

Seventeen Horses went down the street, in a parade where you and I had to meet. Spending my time by a wishing well, with a penny with tails up at my feet. Seventeen Horses went down the street, Mother’s child waiting at the curb for a treat. Waiting at noon for the cars to pass, waiting for you to make your retreat.

Won’t you come, won’t you tell me that we’ll survive? For a small while we’ll be and you’ll realize. Won’t you stand there and look at me for who I am? Won’t you tell me that we can begin again?

Telling my story to friends again, I can’t see, I can’t reason to the end. Telling myself to begin again, but I can’t, I just won’t without my friend.
