Long Way

Well oh my friends and I grew up in a little town.
Stayin’ up real late when childhood came around.
Living for our summer days and winter break.
Making more fun in school than our teachers could take.
Yeaahhh
Well every Friday night was never spent alone.
That house we spent our nights in became all of our own.
And we would say that things would always be that way.
Who knew that growing old could cause such disarray.
It’s a long way over
The clouds that block the sky.
And it’s a long way running
When you know you’d love to fly.
It’s a long way forward when you’ve got to say goodbye
But it’s a longer way back once time has slipped on by.
Well change will be
And change decides who we become.
So who were we to think
That change would never come.
Never gave real thought as to where we’d lead ourselves
…moving out and removing marker from the shelves.
And wishing childhood wasn’t so far in the past.
Wondering was there something to have done to make it last.
It’s a long way over
The clouds that block the sky.
And it’s a long way running
When you know you’d love to fly.
It’s a long way forward when you’ve got to say goodbye
But it’s a longer way back once time has slipped on by.
Goodbye, little boy
Wondering how the story ends.
I’m a man facing towards the future
Standing with my friends.
It’s a long way I’ve come and a long way I plan to go.
But where that may lead me, I guess it’s okay if I don’t know.
So it may be a long way back
To where I’ve been.
But still those memories
Will always make me grin.

Already Dreaming
03:37
|
|

Waking up to the same old sight,
Open my eyes to the morning light.
The same old birds give their morning call
Feels like I've memorized them all.
Dust covered memories have become my floor.
I try not to pick them up as much anymore.
I stop for a moment to think of you,
To gaze at your picture, and then everything seems brand new.
Lay my head down but I'm already dreaming.
The stars are just gleaming
As bright as your eyes.
Close my eyes and I already miss you.
The moon will just kiss you goodnight,
And I'll be your sunrise.
I have to laugh when I can't even talk,
So mesmerized by the way that you walk.
You pull me closer, I melt inside.
Your lips and mine softly collide.
Feels like I'm dreaming each day by day,
Falling asleep only takes me away.
And I never want to leave your side
I'll live this dream with my arms open wide.
Lay my head down but I'm already dreaming.
The stars are just gleaming
As bright as your eyes.
Close my eyes and I already miss you.
The moon will just kiss you goodnight,
And I'll be your sunrise.

Hold My Breath
04:22
|
|
||
We both were feeling down
I know just what it’s like
Being stuck in a hole for so long.
And hope, I’d never seen around
Those wintry days where
The cold helped heartache grow strong.
And I really wanna know
What if I’d never opened
My eyes to gaze into yours.
Well I live the moment endlessly.
I guess I just love
The feeling that memory restores.
Oh I’d love to hold my breath again,
Watch you hesitate and say yes again.
Hold on, won’t you tell me when
Is the next time you might say you love me?
I hold my breath and feel
another heartbeat singing
Strange to imagine what we’re beginning.
I don’t know, how does one small question
Change my life?
How does one single girl make it right?
Just where’d you come from
Anyways? Could I have missed
My chance with you so long ago.
But man it feels like yesterday
I held your hand for the first time
And couldn’t let go.
But oh we were so right
Like you once said a pair like us
Is so hard to find.
I wake each morning thinkin bout
The moment you and I became
one of a kind.
Oh I’d love to hold my breath again,
Watch you hesitate and say yes again.
Hold on, won’t you tell me when
Is the next time you might say you love me?
I hold my breath and feel
another heartbeat singing
Strange to imagine what we’re beginning.
I don’t know, how does one small question
Change my life?
How does one single girl make it right?
One moment of life that I won’t forget
Once choice I could never regret
One day I decided to sing a duet
For the rest of my life.

A Million
04:09
|
|
||
Perhaps I’ve told you a million times
a million ways
a million rhymes.
Perhaps you’re just more beautiful
than anything I’ve ever seen.
As we’ve grown through all the seasons,
I have learned
A million reasons
Why you are the sunlight
that makes the leaves so green.
Perhaps I see, all that I need before me,
Suddenly our love story
is a million pages long.
I can’t believe, just how it feels to be near you,
just how it feels to hear your
loving heart beat so strong.
I love the way you make me laugh
the way you smile
The way you rest
your head upon my shoulder
to tell me everything’s okay.
Perhaps I’ve won a lottery
of a million smiles
to have you with me
even for a moment,
brightens any day.
Perhaps I see, all that I need before me,
Suddenly our love story
is a million pages long.
I can’t believe, just how it feels to be near you,
just how it feels to hear your
loving heart beat so strong.
Perhaps I’ve told you a million times
a million ways
a million rhymes.
Perhaps you’re just more beautiful
than anything I’ve ever seen.

Suddenly Here
03:27
|
|
||
I’m suddenly here, I’m suddenly in your arms
And I feel my dream wash away
In the morning light you bring to me.
Well here’s another day.
I’m rollin around, I’m thinkin I’ll stay in bed
Untill my stomach gets to my head.
But we both know we’re wasting time,
Still I wish you’d stay.
Saying goodbye, closing the door, and watching you leave.
Remember the snow? Remember the sound outside?
I can still hear it hitting the glass.
Remember how I held you close, and,
Let midnight hours pass?
I’m finally up, I’m watching the snow melt away,
Cause the sun came around for today.
You turn to me as you brush your hair and say,
I wish that we could stay.
Saying goodbye, you’re driving away, our weekend is through.
But summer will come, the birds will return, and so will you.
But I don’t cry as you let go of my hand.
Cause I’ve got all the love I need in the love that we have planned.
Saying goodbye, closing the door, and watching you leave.
La da da da, …., La da da da, …..

Somewhere Down The Road
03:25
|
|
||
I never knew what could be broken,
What was inside of me that could someday cause me pain.
What holds my words unspoken,
How could I fix a thing I never could explain?
I always knew I needed something.
Something or maybe someone who’d remind me I’m alive.
What can you do when you get to thinking
You lost it all and you never did survive.
You never know who you are till,
You hold someone that you know will,
And you believe
She’ll always be there.
And I don’t know what I’ll become
In a couple years, or just one,
But somewhere down the road
I sure would like to know if you still care.
Something always seems to happen
Something drives us to do something we don’t always mean.
It may seem like a solution,
But only cause the future is still unforeseen.
I’d like to start at the beginning.
To fix what I still think was really meant to be.
I think then I’d have a chance at winning,
What’s missing in my life, what means the world to me.
You never know who you are till,
You hold someone that you know will,
And you believe
She’ll always be there.
And I don’t know what I’ll become
In a couple years, or just one,
But somewhere down the road
I sure would like to know...
You never know who you are till
You lose someone that you know will
Be hangin round your heart,
And she’ll always be there.
And I don’t know what I’ll become
In the world where there’s no sun
So somewhere down the road
I’d like to still believe that you still care.
