Lyrics

  • "I'd Lie"

    I don’t think that passenger seat
    Has ever looked this good to me
    He tells me about his night
    I count the colors in his eyes

    Don’t ever fall in love
    He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
    I’m laughing ’cause I hope he’s wrong
    And I don’t think it ever crossed his mind
    He tells a joke, I fake a smile
    But I know all his favorite songs

    And I could tell you
    His favorite color’s green
    He loves to argue
    Born on the seventeenth
    His sister’s beautiful
    He has his father’s eyes
    And if you ask me if I love him..
    I’d lie

    He looks around the room
    Innocently overlooks the truth
    Shouldn’t I like your walk
    Doesn’t he know that I’ve had it memorized for so long

    He sees everything in black and white
    Never let nobody see him cry
    I don’t let nobody see me wishing he was mine

    I could tell you
    His favorite color’s green
    He loves to argue
    Born on the seventeenth
    His sister’s beautiful
    He has his father’s eyes
    And if you ask me if I love him..
    I’d lie

    He stands there, then walks away
    My God, if I could only say
    I’m holding every breath for you

    He’d never tell you, but he can play guitar
    I think he can see through everything but my heart
    First thought when I wake up is
    My God, he’s beautiful
    So I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle

    Yes I could tell you
    His favorite color’s green
    He loves to argue
    Oh, and it kills me
    His sister’s beautiful
    He has his father’s eyes
    And if you ask me if I love him..
    If you ask me if I love him..
    I’d lie

  • "Come In With The Rain"

    I could go back to every laugh
    but i don’t want to go there anymore
    and i know all the steps up to your door
    but i don’t wanna go there anymore

    talk to the wind
    talk to the sky
    talk to the man with the reasons why
    and let me know what you find

    i leave my window open
    cuz i’m too tired not to call your name
    just know i’m right here hoping
    that you’ll come in with the rain

    i could stand up and sing you a song
    but i don’t want to have to go that far
    and i, i got you down
    i know you by heart
    and you dont’ even know where i start

    talk to yourself
    talk to the teams
    talk to the man who put you here
    and don’t wait for the sky to clear

    i leave my window open
    cuz i’m too tired not to call your name
    just know i’m right here hoping
    you’ll come in with the rain

    i’ve watched you so long
    scream your name
    i dont’ know where as i can see

    but i leave my window open
    cuz i’m too tired not ….?
    just know i’m right here hoping
    you’ll come in with the rain

    I could go back to every laugh
    but i don’t wanna go there anymore

  • "A Perfectly Good Heart"

    [Chorus 1:]
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
    Why would you wanna take our love and throw it all apart,now?
    Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

    Maybe I should’ve seen the signs, should’ve read the writing on the wall.
    And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall.
    No matter what you say, I still can’t believe
    That you would walk away.
    It don’t make sense to me, but:

    [Repeat Chorus 1:]
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
    Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
    Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

    It’s not unbroken anymore.
    How do I get it back the way it was before?

    [Chorus 2:]
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
    Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart,now?
    Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
    Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break a:

    [Repeat Chorus 1:]
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
    Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
    Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
    Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

  • "Invisible"

    She can’t see the way your eyes light up when you smile
    She’ll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by
    And you can’t see me wantin you the way you want her
    But you are everything to me

    [Chorus:]
    And I just wanna show you
    She don’t even know you
    She’s never gonna love you like I want to
    You just see right through me but if you only knew me
    We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible

    There’s a fire inside of you that can’t help but shine through
    She’s never gonna see the light
    No matter what you do
    And all I think about is how to make you think of me
    And everything that we could be

    [Chorus]

    Like shadows in a faded light
    Oh we’re Invisible
    I just wanna look in your eyes and make you realize

    I just wanna show you she don’t even know you
    Baby let me love you let me want you
    You just see right through me
    But if you only knew me
    We could be a beautiful miracle unbelievable instead of just invisible

    She can’t see the way your eyes light up when you smile

  • "I'm Only Me When I'm With You"

    Friday night beneath the stars,
    in a field behind your yard,
    you and I are paintin’ pictures in the sky.
    And sometimes we don’t say a thing;
    just listen to the crickets sing.
    Everything I need is right here by my side.
    And I know everything about you
    I don’t wanna live without you.

    [Chorus:]
    I’m only up when your’e not down.
    Don’t wanna fly if your’e still on the ground.
    It’s like no matter what I do.
    Well you drive me crazy half the time;
    the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
    And I’m only me when I’m with you.

    Just a small town boy and girl
    livin’ in a crazy world.
    Tryin’ to figure out what is and isn’t true.
    And I don’t try to hide my tears.
    The secrets are my deepest fears.
    Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
    And you know everything about me.
    You say you can’t live without me.

    [Chorus:]
    I’m only up when your’e not down.
    Don’t wanna fly if your’e still on the ground.
    It’s like no matter what I do.
    Well you drive me crazy half the time;
    the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
    And I’m only me when I’m with you.

    When I’m with anybody else it’s so hard to be myself.
    Only you can tell.

    [Chorus:]
    That I’m only up when your’e not down.
    Don’t wanna fly if your’e still on the ground.
    It’s like no matter what I do.
    Well you drive me crazy half the time;
    the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
    And I’m only me
    Who I wanna be
    Well, I’m only me when I’m with you
    With you
    Uh huh
    Yeah

  • "Mary's Song (oh My My My)"

    She said, I was seven and you were nine
    I looked at you like the stars that shined
    In the sky, the pretty lights
    And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
    Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
    And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

    Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
    Said you’d beat me up, you were bigger than me
    You never did, you never did
    Take me back when our world was one block wide
    I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
    Just two kids, you and I…
    Oh my my my my

    I was sixteen when suddenly
    I wasn’t that little girl you used to see
    But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
    And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
    They never believed we’d really fall in love
    And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
    And said oh my my my…

    Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
    Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
    Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
    The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
    You stayed outside til the morning light
    Oh my my my my

    A few years had gone and come around
    We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
    And you looked at me, got down on one knee

    Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
    Our whole town came and our mamas cried
    You said I do and I did too
    Take me home where we met so many years before
    We’ll rock our babies on that very front porch
    After all this time, you and I

    I’ll be eighty-seven; you’ll be eighty-nine
    I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine
    In the sky, oh my my my…

  • "Should've Said No"

    It’s strange to think the songs we used to sing
    The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
    Yesterday I found out about you
    Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
    You say that you’d take it all back, given one chance
    It was a moment of weakness and you said yes…

    [Chorus:]

    You should’ve said no, you should’ve gone home
    You should’ve thought twice before you let it all go
    You should’ve know that word, bout what you did with her
    Would get back to me…
    And I should’ve been there, in the back of your mind
    I shouldn’t be asking myself why
    You shouldn’t be begging for forgiveness at my feet…
    You should’ve said no, baby and you might still have me

    You can see that I’ve been crying
    And baby you know all the right things: to say
    But do you honestly expect me to believe
    We could ever be the same…
    You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
    It was a moment of weakness and you said yes…

    [Repeat Chorus]

    I can’t resist… before you go, tell me this
    Was it worth it…
    Was she worth this…

    No… no no no…

    [Repeat Chorus]

  • "Stay Beautiful"

    Cory’s eyes are like a jungle
    He smiles, it’s like the radio
    He whispers songs into my window
    In words nobody knows
    There’s pretty girls on every corner
    That watch him as he’s walking home
    Saying, does he know
    Will you ever know

    [Chorus:]

    You’re beautiful
    Every little piece love, don’t you know
    You’re really gonna be someone, ask anyone
    When you find everything you looked for
    I hope your life leads you back to my door
    Oh but if it don’t, stay beautiful

    Cory finds another way to be
    The highlight of my day
    I’m taking pictures in my mind
    So I can save them for a rainy day
    It’s hard to make conversation
    When he’s taking my breath away
    I should say, hey by the way

    [Repeat Chorus]

    If you and I are a story
    That never gets told
    If what you are is a daydream
    I’ll never get to hold, at least you’ll know

  • "Tied Together With A Smile"

    Seems the only one who doesn’t see your beauty
    Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
    You walk around here thinking you’re not pretty
    But that’s not true, cause I know you…

    [Chorus:]

    Hold on, baby, you’re losing it
    The water’s high, you’re jumping into it
    And letting go… and no one knows
    That you cry, but you don’t tell anyone
    That you might not be the golden one
    And you’re tied together with a smile
    But you’re coming undone

    I guess it’s true that love was all you wanted
    Cause you’re giving it away like it’s extra change
    Hoping it will end up in his pocket
    But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
    Oh, cause it’s not his price to pay
    Not his price to pay…

    [Repeat Chorus]

    You’re tied together with a smile
    But you’re coming undone… oh
    Goodbye, baby
    Goodbye, baby
    With a smile, baby, baby

  • "The Outside"

    I didn’t know what I would find
    When I went looking for a reason, I know
    I didn’t read between the lines
    And, baby, I’ve got nowhere to go
    I tried to take the road less traveled by
    But nothing seems to work the first few times
    Am I right?

    [Chorus:]

    So how can I ever try to be better?
    Nobody ever lets me in
    I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
    On the outside looking in
    I’ve been a lot of lonely places
    I’ve never been on the outside

    You saw me there, but never knew
    I would give it all up to be
    A part of this, a part of you
    And now it’s all too late so you see
    You could’ve helped if you had wanted to
    But no one notices until it’s too
    Late to do anything

    [Repeat Chorus]

    So how can I ever try to be better?
    Nobody ever lets me in
    I can still see you, this ain’t the best view
    On the outside looking in
    I’ve been a lot of lonely places
    I’ve never been on the outside
