You Had Me At Hello

The hour's late / I’m counting down / but time means nothing to me / here in my head / here in my bed / I’m looking for something to believe
But I could believe in you / and everything you say / you’re too good to be true but every dog has his day
One chance is all I need / just take my hand and follow my lead / I look at you as you look away I guess I’ll try another day / but I just can’t let you go / cause I swear girl you had me / you had me at hello
Storm the castle / save the girl / but only in my dreams / nothing more surely less is always what it seems
You’ve got it high / I’ve got it low / you’ve got everything else that makes my heart go / It goes boom / bah-rump-bum-bum / you got my heart beating like a drum
And that drum’s gonna play / cause every dog has his day / and that day will be mine / cause I know I’m gonna shine / I’m gonna shine

When Times Are Hard

When times are hard I laugh a little / just to pass the time / and in the end I know my baby will be right there by my side / I can’t deny these feelings for her / no matter where I go / and though it’s hard when she’s not here she’s all I have to call home
Say what you want say what you will / not everything is true / I don’t know where I want to go but I know I want to go there with you
But I just can’t wait / but I just can’t wait anymore / I feel it in my bones and I lose all control / I can’t wait / I can’t wait
And I will not be taking my time from here on you see / If we could just walk away and look ahead to better days / Let’s walk away
Say what you want say what you will / but I can’t stay here no I can’t stay still / And I know we said it’ll be alright / but I don’t want to wait not another night / So kiss me once don’t tell me twice / I made a mistake but I’m making it right / So kiss me once and I’ll say goodnight / I made a mistake but I’m making it right

Midwest Boundaries

I feel this place has lost it’s touch / it seems it’s run it’s course / and I can’t find my way out / without feeling some kind of remorse / Her skies have simply turned to black / a reflection of my fear / that time will surely take my life / unless I come to grip with this my dear
I am an animal / I’ve got to get the hell out of here / these Midwest boundaries are killing me / they’re holding me back / they’re holding me back
The sickening is setting in / that I may not survive / if I don’t choose to make a change / this place will surely eat me alive
But how can I leave this place / when it’s all that I know / a tangled mess of hopes and dreams / that I’m fighting just to not let go
I lie awake at night and I’m not alight / no I’m not alright / and I can’t keep living a lie / cause I’m not alright / I’m not alright / I’ve got to get the hell out of here

Distance
02:28
|
|

|
There’s distance close and then there’s distance far away / but it’s this distance that still makes my heart strain / and I know, I know that you could go anywhere / and I would still meet you there
The times will change and the times sure will go / but close to you is where I’ll always call home / and I know, I know that we are destined to change / but my love for you remains the same
Half sick from misery I keep straining through / in hope that one day I will be right next to you / so take my word and take everything I am / I am yours / I am yours
