Rest Of My Life
03:57

so you left without a dear john letter
late at night on a fourth of july
didn't tell us, just walked away
I never heard a "goodbye"
people say it'll never be the same here
I think they might be half right
and there's a part of me (truly the best of me)
that hopes it's gonna be fine
tell me it's changing
there's a better way
to get some blue from the grey
I got the rest of my life to get some good sleep at night
but for now I will wait
I'm gonna wait for the time
when we're all sleeping just fine
maybe there's a better way
faces come faces go like the city
nobody sees past the grave
hope is here for today not forever
if it stays it's a waste
you never wore so thin as the other ones
you'd always say what you meant
I wanna be the one who discovers
what were you fighting for? why can't you fight anymore?
I don't know when it happened
maybe I never did
but you're always in my heart
that's what you said

Baby

I thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms
late last night night
What I wanted to say was I love you forever
but it didn't come out right
all I could say was I'm cold give me covers
could you turn out the light?
and we laughed at ourselves for our serious nature
and what could have been a fight
You know I've been watching you all day long
the way we look at each other
the way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
because that's when I know
at the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby love
when you walk down the street they all stop and they stare
you know the way it is out there
he's either looking at you or he's looking at me
get in the car, give me the keys
let's drive down the middle of the city block
roll down these windows and show them what I got
I found this sweet thing out there
but she's mine and not yours so what do you care?
I'm the one who calls you baby in the morning
I'm the who gets to tuck you in at night
I'm the one who says baby forever baby together
everything's just fine
You know I've been watching you all day long
the way we laugh at each other
the way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
because that's when I know
at the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby love
Thought of this song while I was sleeping in your arms
late last night
What I wanted to say was I love you forever
but it didn't come out right
You know I've been watching you all day long
the way we look at each other
the way you sing our songs
I can't wait till we get home
because that's when I know
at the end of the day I'm the one who calls you baby love

All I Know

so I'm walking down the avenue
holding on so tight to what I said to you
in between my jaw and my belly where it burns
is what I meant to do
taking it in take a hit on the chin
keep your chin up, nothing's forever
baby your loving can change like the weather
everybody got their problems
that's how I know
you know how love goes
but all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
but all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
that's how I know
you know how love goes
playing the games, we were born to play
you go this way; I'll turn away
till you stop baby you never listen
how can you know what you have been missing?
your loving can keep us together
everybody's got their brighter side
you just gotta hope it'll be alright
still it's all that I wait for
these years that I'd hoped for
the keeping together, the falling apart
it's you that I'll be for, forever each other
together through nights we will see through the dark
that's how I know
you know how love goes
but all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
but all I know is every time I look at you, every time I look at you
you can never know
you know how love goes

Keep Me From You
03:36

what did you do with my loneliness
what did you do with my cloudy skies?
what did you do with everything I was baby what can you do with that love?
there you go doing it again
you call me up you're on the phone
you need me there you're all alone
I would if i could but there's a little complication
my life's got me in a sticky situation
there's the people I love and the things that I do
it all comes together to keep me from you
you tell me all about the things you miss
you tell me what's on your mind
I might turn right around and head straight back to town if you keep feeding me those lines

The Bottom
02:58
|

|
so I'm moving one one town one day
lines are blurring slowly fade away
and I always feel a little forgotten
you give me something that you never wanted
It's nice to know that I've been there before
but nothing's changed
I'm at the bottom again,
and I'm watching myself falling back in
you know all you said wasn't true
just blaming the world for what happens to you
so we're talking we're back here again
I'm just waiting, things come crashing in
and I always feel a little bit hopeless
I try my hardest girl, you never notice
At least you know I've been there before
I'm trying to change
I'm at the bottom again,
and I'm watching myself falling back in
you know all you said wasn't true
just blaming the world for what happens to you

Carry Me
04:54

I am edging toward the ocean
one step at a time
I am holding my breath watching for water
honey give me a sign
a wink of an eye I'm getting closer
walk away I'm landlocked as I can be
I want to be the one who discovers
I want to feel the water carry me
carry me to you (I'm gonna find you)
carry me to you (you're all I need)
carry me to you (I'm gonna save you)
carry me to you (come back to me)
I am searching on the fault lines
for a crack in the door
a tremor I know I'm on to something
a quake and I found what I was looking for
come back to me
I almost lost you

Just Getting Started
03:07
|

driving home on a black night highway
and it comes back to me
nights sitting in the sun room hometown
just you and me
we got the people on the left and the guitar on the right
we got ourselves a party
we played all night back then and here I am driving home
I'm just getting started, how about you?
I'm just getting started, how about you?
you were gonna be a roadie for nirvana
I was gonna be on MTV
we were gonna throw the ultiimate party
if we ever got a highschool degree
you were gonna marry your girlfriend
I was never gonna fall in love
we were gonna get out of here
we knew it wasn't all there was
in the country, the city
the bright lights, the big town
the big ups, the big down
baby I've been all around
and below and wherever I go
it's enough just to know
you're never gonna let me down

This Is What I Get
03:20

blast my way right through your eyes with these words I feel alright: "I'm leaving you tonight".
Taking me for granted came so easy I was always there you can't deny it
guess it comes as a shock to you, over and over "what did I do"
can't explain it I feel it I need to believe me I'm leaving you
Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground
your tears tears me apart but I don't want to turn around
Guess this is what I get for my leaving you...
right now
makeup running down your face, I miss your touch need your taste-can't go back now
begging me you plead with me, wishing I would never leave, almost at the door now
what can I do but stay with you you never mean the things you do
no I can't believe that
what you want it's never fair it's what you get you're never there
you're alone again
Your words fall on my heart and I'm losing ground
your tears tear me apart but I don't want to turn around
I keep telling you that I'm leaving now
somehow I'm still here
I want you to know I'm leaving now

Dreams
03:58

He's been tired, tired of the way she holds him down
but he's too worn out to ever say how he really feels
so he goes day by day and nothing ever happens
and she hopes nothing will but she knows he'll never be happy
and he knows he can't pretend anymore
she thinks he fine but he dreams at night, of so much more
and he dreams alright, dreams about the day he can leave this life
but the time's not right, this town is everything that he's seen
so now tonight he's packing up he's moving away
and for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in his way
so he drives all night nothing frightens him anymore
and at the first sunlight he stops the car and opens the door
and the tears they come, deeper now than in the past
it's like his first sunrise and nothing ever happened so fast
and she knows that's he's really gone for good
back at home all she can do is wish that she could
and she dreams alright, dreams about the day she can leave this life
but the time's not right, this town is everything that she's seen
so now tonight she's packing up he's moving away
and for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in her way
and you dream alright, dream about the day you can leave this life
but the time's not right, this town is everything that you've seen
so now tonight you can pack up and move away
and for the first time ever nothing's gonna get in your way

Back Home
03:33

another night another room another phone call
one more day
another road another sign by my window
counting miles away
I'd come back I would
I would come right back to your arms
if I only could
So long hard roads
wake me up when we're home
wake me up when we're home
yesterday is today is tomorrow the next day is the same
as I wander these miles I wonder
should I have stayed
I would turn around
I would come right back your way
just not today
So long hard roads
I'm coming back home
So long hard roads
wake me up when we're home
I might turn around
I'll come back some day
I might turn around
I'll be home some day
So long hard roads
I'm coming back home
I'm coming back home
