I don’t think that passenger seat Don’t ever fall in love And I could tell you He looks around the room He sees everything in black and white I could tell you He stands there, then walks away He’d never tell you, but he can play guitar Yes I could tell you
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
I count the colors in his eyes
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
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
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn’t I like your walk
Doesn’t he know that I’ve had it memorized for so long
Never let nobody see him cry
I don’t let nobody see me wishing he was mine
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
My God, if I could only say
I’m holding every breath for you
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
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
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
[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?
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
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
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…
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]
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
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
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
