Need to be with you

One day we'll grow old,
And all our stories will be told,
and all the dreams to which we hold,
Will slowly slip away, from us.
So we'll spend all our days,
Just thinking about the ways,
We could have done it better
We should have done things better, if we tried to find a way
Spent my whole life, picking us apart
but I can't hide, what's in this heart......
I wanna lie with you tonight and watch the world go sailing by
Stare up at the stars in the sky
It's the simple things in life you see, that teach me who I need to be, all I know is I need to be with you,
Oh I need to be with you
See I've spent many years, I've just been living with the fear
What if she don't love me?
What if she don't want me?
Oh the way that I want her?
But I've finally figured out,
What this living is all about
And if I don't tell her today, then one day there will be no days,
left to tell her how I feel....

This one's for the poets,
The ones who know,
Know it won't get better than today.
this time's for the one's
who hold on to the one,
The one that they let slowly slip away.
Now I'm staring down the first sip, of the second glass, of this third bottle of wine, it's 2 am and you're on my mind.
This is not a time for lovers,
Sleeping under cover
It's only for the lonely as they yearn
For the ones who are in love,
With someone already loved
who feel it all, but get none in return
Now I'm finished with the last sip, of my second, third and fourth bottle of wine,
It's hard to shake the thought of you so I'm resigned,
That it's 2 am and you're on my mind.
It's 2 am and your on, my mind

My thoughts cannot move an inch
Without bumping into a piece of you
What can I do when you're gone?
So I pace around this empty house,
With a drink in hand and a best laid plan,
Am I still your man when you're gone?
So call me up at 4 am,
When I'm too tired to say hello,
And you're too tired to speak.
And I will listen to your silence,
Listen as you drift away,
And in your dreams I will keep you warm
Lying in my arms.
If I stole the stars for you,
Tell me would you bring me the moon,
We can dance around this world,
Humming to our own tune.
Or we could build a little home,
Nothing fancy but somewhere we call our own,
And when morning comes you'd be here,
And we'd never have to be alone
So call me up at 4 am,
When I'm too tired to say hello,
And you're too tired to speak.
And I will listen to your silence,
Listen as you drift away,
And in your dreams I will keep you warm
Lying in my arms.

The First Time

I don't know where I am,
But I sure know where I'm going
See I went left while you stayed right,
Now you're completely out of sight to me.
Well this is how the feeling goes,
When you don't look, and you don't know
What's in your heart
And I've seen this thing before,
When I loved you and nothing more.
Well sometimes it seems that all my dreams
Just crash and burn but I never learn
Cause when I see your photograph
It takes me back oh lord it takes me back,
To the first time, that I saw you
I don't know where you are,
But I pray to God you're happy,
I hope you found a better man,
A better man than I could be
If you ever think of me,
Please know I never meant to hurt you,
But sometimes it just aint right
and I just did not have the strength to fight with you
Well sometimes it seems that all my dreams
Just crash and burn but I never learn
Cause when I see your photograph
It takes me back oh lord it takes me back,
To the first time, that I saw you

The Lies and the Crimes
07:11

Seems this whole town's gone mad,
We all somehow knew, that it would.
It got hopped up on cocaine, and whiskey and lies,
Just cause it could.
And now a storm is coming in,
and like a blind man who's just waiting for a fall,
We lie in our beds, while the world just makes no sense
At all.
We don't dream,
Like we should, anymore
Cause we've learned to live with the lies, and the crimes
That have gone on before
Well they say Ignorance is bliss
I say it's the darkest of hells
To have the truth of this life, pass you by
and you can't even tell
Well in truth sometimes I, just wanna cry,
when I stare out at the earth.
there's seven billion out there,
Who really never know, what they're worth.
They don't dream,
Like they should, anymore.
cause they've learned to live with the lies, and the crimes,
that have gone on before.
I see the people out here, they all look the same.
They all have the same look on their faces, I think that it's pain.
And I wonder if they know, they have a soul, that was born to be free
Free from all the bulls**t and lying, that their trying, so hard not to see.
You don't dream, like you should, anymore
Have you learned to live
With the lies, and the crimes,
that have gone on before?
Well I guess I'm not cut out, for living my life, this way,
and one day I'll be gone, I'll have gone off to find my own way.
If I don't say goodbye, please don't cry, you're here in my soul.
But before I move on, there's just one thing I think you should know.
When I sleep,
Know I'm dreaming, of you.
No matter what else I find in this world,
It's really all I can do.
And I hope,
that you're dreaming of me,
A soul who set out in the world, to learn to be free
Just a soul who set out in the world to lear to be free.

Everything's OK

Take me anywhere, you would like to go.
Tell me anything, that you think I should know.
Don't you know I'm scared,
I'm Unprepared,
I've never been here before.
But the thought of losing you,
Well it's more than I can bear
Until you say, everything's OK.
Ba dum, Ba dum, Ba bum it's Ok
Until you say, Everything's OK
If I ask do you believe in destiny?
Or is this just a case of close proximity?
And when we're old,
and it gets cold
In the darkest of our nights,
Will I still look to you?
Will you be a shining light?
Who just says, Everything's OK
Ba dum, Ba dum, Ba bum it's Ok
Until you say, Everything's OK
If I could relive a single moment from my days,
It'd be the first time that I saw you in this way,
And to my surprise,
when you caught my eye,
You smiled right back at me.
there was nothing I could do,
No, there was nothing left to see,
In the world,
When you became my girl.
I know, I know, I know it'll be OK
Cause I know, I know, that you want me to stay,
I know, I know, I've got one last thing to say.
I love you more each day.
