All these men who have loved you well
How do I compare?
I have no choice, your voice is ringing like a bell
Your beauty lost on yourself ***** out my air
Pull me in, let me hold you near
Your body is like an ocean
Deep and forever filled with life so clear
I want to dive in head first drunk off your potion

Bright are your eyes, brighter is your smile
Please take this longing from heart
Broken on the ground, I lay for awhile
My stomach turns when we are apart
Dreaming of life and love
Dreaming of life and love

I can see your dress falling to the floor
Do you whisper in his ear all your favorite foods?
Loving you may not be the right thing for me anymore
Wrap your legs around him, lights dim, set the mood
I am not going anywhere though, we only just met
Your spirit is like a search light
Beaming bright and looking for a path, yet
I want to find it with you holding you in the night.

Bright are your eyes, brighter is your smile
Please take this longing from heart
Broken on the ground, I lay for awhile
My stomach turns when we are apart
Dreaming of life and love
Dreaming of life and love

I saw you for the first time on that cold and snowy night
Did you know too that it wouldn't be the last?
I love to see you sleeping naked, laying just right
Especially from the back, these moments pass to fast
There's an uncertainty in you eyes that I know to well
Your mind is like a highway
Winding and full of surprises that you have yet to tell
I want to drive it with you losing the day

Bright are your eyes, brighter is your smile
Please take this longing from heart
Broken on the ground, I lay for awhile
My stomach turns when we are apart
Dreaming of life and love
Dreaming of life and love

I turned this town into a cancer
Now movin' on's my only answer
My roots obstruct the exit way
You and I both know there's nothing left to say

I am making my daring escape
I'm sneaking out, my world I reshape
I sneak through the door, don not distract
I'm looking forward, never looking back

Our dreams like whiskey, better with time you see?
Rush the drunk, it's not the same
There ain't no heaven, not in this world
I wish you were begging me to stay

One day I'll write a letter
Just to let you know I am doing much better
Maybe I'll pick up the telephone
I don't know why, no way you'll let me come back home

Our dreams like whiskey, better with time you see?
Rush the drunk, it's not the same
There ain't no heaven, not in this world
I wish you were begging me to stay

I know these feelings I have not shown
Now that time has past they have grown
Dear mamma can't you feel my heart beat
all alone

And I say please let's don't do this
We don't feel it
And all of the accidents
And we ain't curing this

Look at this beautiful spinning girl
She is lost in this ****** up picture perfect world
Some days I can I hear her heart beat
along with my own

And I say please let's don't do this
We don't feel it
And all of the accidents
And we ain't curing this

And all of my nonsense
And all of my recklessness
Please don't do this
We don't need it

This love ain't nothing but a ******* love song
I'll just go back to where I come from
Can't you hear my heart beat all alone?
It's just that all this feels so **** wrong

"You were a waste of my time"
That's what she said to me
I don't want to see you crying like that
Not when I broke your heart
I wish I didn't want you back
But I loved you more than anyone else
And I broke your heart
I broke your heart

I'm sorry I called you
I wish I was with you that night
I see your eyes in the stars
But now when I think of you
I feel like the worlds biggest fool
I wish I hadn't made you fall so hard
Just like a shooting star
I broke your heart

I feel like a shooting star
There and then gone again
I broke your heart

I am heading down to mexico
and I dont know if I am coming back
tell mom and dad that I love them
I hope they understand that

I bet you think I am runnin from my problems
and to be honest you aint that wrong
but there's so much more to that now
The only thing is to move on

The truth only bought me half a lie
A fakers dream and an empty wallet

I am going through all these changes
and I am a degenerate, a complete wreck
looking for love in all the wrong places
What is it did you expect?

The truth only bought you half a lie
A fakers dream and an empty wallet

I sank into a bleak empty void
and I am grabbing at all these straws
keep your shiny side up so no one sees
pluging all the holes to hide the flaws

The truth only bought me half a lie
A fakers dream and an empty wallet

We all want a woman who's wild and free
She's always naked when she comes to me
She burns bridges turns back and laughs
She done set fire to all my photographs

Cigarettes, papers, and empty cans
whiskey bottles, ******* mirrors, yeah she can
It's nights like these where sinners sin
But man she knows how to make it feel right again

She'll be shoutin' and she'll be screamin'
Making no sense or meanin'
She brings me sunflowers and a place to be
The spirit of a drunk and she holds the key

Some waded up dollars and a case of broken dreams
I said, "Baby, We ain't makin' it to heaven it seems
But I know for sure they'll be sorry in hell
Let's get one last trip before the bell

All my life I've waited for someone this true
I close my eyes and feel it brings me back to you

We all want a woman who's wild and free
She's always naked when she comes to me
She burns bridges turns back and laughs
She done set fire to all my photographs

She'll be shoutin' and she'll be screamin'
Making no sense or meanin'
She brings me sunflowers and a place to be
The spirit of a drunk and she holds the key

In time you learn the difference
between holding on tight
and sharing in spirit
You learn it doesn't mean safety
and it doesn't mean company
It's not a guarantee
and life's gifts are not all free

After awhile you accept defeat
with a head held high
eyes forward and on two feet
With the poise of a person grown
and not the regret of a child undone
It's not a guarantee
and life's gifts are not all free

You work and build for today
because tomorrows needs are unsure
and plans often will not endure
Decorate your world as best you can
Your soul is open and will withstand
It's not a guarantee
and life's gifts are not all free

You are strong and will persevere
it's worth being you
despite the scars and baggage too
Learn from every mistake and every hiccup
falling down is just another way of getting back up
It's not a guarantee
and life's gifts are not all free

Discover...explore...love...learn...and accept
that with every ending
comes a new beginning.
