there are dreams that don't come true there are stories that are left untold but I those all fade when I'm close to you and a new story starts to unfold This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

inside the swirl grief and regret mixed like green powder shaken and stirred suspended particulate in the liquid of my memories outside the rain wet and cold dripped like tears welled up and cried taking the place of mine dryness in my numbness This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

workin under the hood of the car grease under my nails knuckles all bloody, cos it's too hard to get that thing loose, try as I may And I'm about ready to toss it all in but then I hear your sweet voice callin "how's it goin baby? what are you doin?" I'm just working the best I can Try to keep things running Tryin to be the man that you need me to be I'm just loving you by workin real hard Keepin you safe when you're drivin the car Cos I want you back home again Yeah that's what I'm doin sitting here stuck in this traffic, try to get to work on time feel like a dog, but I can't call in sick why don't nine to five jobs ever start at nine? half past two, that's about all i"m takin your text my cell, it starts vibratin "feelin better, cutes? what are you doin?" I'm just working the best I can Trying to keep things goin Tryin to be the man that you need me to be I'm just loving you, and workin real hard To give ...

Although I may not see you much any more We're that kind of friends Although it's been a while since you knocked at my door This never ends More than comrades on a priority mission More than music lovers love to listen We're the kind that keep each other tucked in our hearts We're the kind that won't let time push us apart Our kind of friends can catch up in a minute Our kind of friends understands we're in it For the long road ahead And it will be said "They were that kind of friends" This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Filling up the potholes on a Chicago night Like forgetting you when you're out of my sight You keep coming back, time after time Pushing at a string to make it go straight ahead Would be like trying to keep you out of my head Time after time, you keep returnin Throw a baseball up and hope it won't come down Feels like trying not to ache when you're not around Time after time, it hits the ground Time after time, day after day Where I want to be Where I want to work and play Right there by you No matter what you say That's what I'm thinkin Time after time Try not to get wet throwin water in the wind Expect me not to think about my girlfriend I soak in your smile, time after time Try to catch a hummingbird in mid-air Or forget the sweet smell of your hair Time after time, I'm missing you dear Time after time, day after day Where I want to be Where I want to work and play Right there by you No matter what they say That's what I'm thinkin Time after time (rep...

In my head there's a recurring dream Of having you here right beside me And though I might be living in some kind of fantasy That's how I want it to be Tumbling around inside are all of these hopes Of time we'll spend, and fun places we'll go You and me dancing to our songs on the radio Telling each other what we already know Sure I realize That for you and I To be together lots of things have to change And I'm working on me Trying to be free Sighing when I think of maybe someday Some days I think it's all gonna turn out fine Other days are so hopeless I just wanna cry But I know this love is deep enough to never die And so I get up and try And not everything I do is right or smart And though my dream land seems so so far I keep holding that thought of you in my heart Where I'm safe and welcome in your sweet arms Sure I realize That for you and I To be together lots of things have to change And I'm working on me Trying to be free Sighing when I think of ...

She walked right in and started to put the moves on I'm thinkin in my head, hey i like those moves, hun (She's got the move on yeah and it's really fun) She's just the kind of girl that can take my breath away Make my brain go numb, make me forget what to say When she gets her moves on Hey get the move on Get the move on If I don't get up and out of this chair She might be outa here before I get anywhere My chances with her might be long gone Hey, boy, get the move on Well I got up, made my move right then and there walked over to her table, pulled myself right up by her chair and put the move on yeah, ain't I the bold one? Dazzled by her eyes, charmed by that crazy yellow hair Didn't take long to realize we'd make a perfect pair if we'd get the move on Hey get the move on Get the move on If I don't get up and get out of this chair She might be outa here before I get anywhere My chance with her might be long gone Hey, boy, get the move on Now she...

People are always talking about the "next big thing" Hoping that somethin else will be better than the last big thing There's something rumbling inside of me, way down in my soul It's flowing over me like a tidal wave, crashing out of control It's not a feeling that I think is gonna pass This is it, I know it's gonna last Loving you is the biggest thing I've ever done Loving you will take me to the end, you're the one There's something durable about the way I feel They say I'm incurable but at least it's real -- You're my last big thing! Sure they told me that you were just a passing fad Truth is yours has gotta be the best love I've ever had Even when to me you seem to be so doggone far away Your love reaches way out to me And makes me say Loving you is the biggest thing I've ever done Loving you will take me to the end, you're the one There's something durable about the way I feel They say I'm incurable but at leas...

give me just a minute give me time to finish and you'll hear me say just why I feel this way

Sometimes these things happen fast And some times they go real slow We're gonna make it last By making sure we know Exactly how this got started Cos we know just how it ends With you holdin on to my heart As the vortex spins and spins It started with one kiss, one look That's all she wrote, that closes the book It's for sure, a done deal, And I'm gonna keep her right next to me Let's keep it spinning Let it roll Love's gonna win If we hold on and let it go We know how this all got started And we know just how it ends With you holdin on to my heart As the vortex spins and spins It started with one kiss, one look That's all she wrote, that closes the book It's for sure, a done deal, And I'm gonna keep you right next to me We know how this all got started And we know just how it ends With you holdin on to my heart As the vortex spins and spins This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States...
