You look so beautiful in that dress, but I don’t care that you’re with her
Every now and then I take a second guess but I doubt that it would work
Cuz you and me, we got history, but not like that at all
So every now and then I take a second guess but it drops and I let it fall
I didn’t know what was coming to me when we pulled up to her house
Along lake with the dozens of people aimlessly milling about
With one exception, your friends were delightful, we got along just fine
I think I can relax and enjoy this ride through your town on the seaside
The sequins are blinding and the view is amazing, yeah, it’s everybody's wedding night
I see her glaring from across the room, let’s try and avoid a fight
It's two A.M., we’re all drunk on exhaustion, so let the music play
Slowly fade into a carefree fog, recharge and greet the day
You looked so beautiful in that dress, now I hope that you’re alright
I just wanna thank you once again for the best night of my life

These two words
These two words you wrote
They're all that I have left of you
And we promised each other we'd be back
But deep down I doubt it's true
The motive's there, but the means
The means are the issue
And you know I still love you
And these two words beside my bed remind me why
Your brown eyes
Now they're six hours ahead of me
And if I could close that distance
If I could close that distance
Girl, I'd shape the world for you
And you know I still love you
And these two words beside my bed remind me why
And I'm still thinking of you
So I guess I'll sit alone and watch the sky

I wanna fly away
To the airport in your city
Don’t care what they say
I just want you with me
Your eyes looking into mine,
Your hand in my hand
I’ve got so much to worry about
But that’s my only plan
Darling
Lie to me
Tell me you’re alright
I mean, darling
Take my hand
On this perfect night
I wish that I had something more to say
Some great poetic lines
I’m afraid I’ll always stay this way: I’m in love with you,
I hope that you don’t mind
Oh and someday
We’ll be sitting on our back porch, overlooking the bay
In our city
It’s so small but we see everything it could be
This will be perfect…
But first I gotta get there

I’m standin’ on the corner of Arlington and Fifth,
A few blocks down from where the angels sit
Cryin’ to myself, hoping this ain’t all I have left
I wonder if my friends still think of me,
And I hope that love is all it’s cracked up to be
I’d hate to waste this time while I’m still so young
I look out to the hallway, and what do I see?
I see a dozen empty rooms staring back at me
I think we were mistaken when we called each other friends
c h o r u s
Shapes move in the dark,
Bodies fall to the ground
Double-take,
I hope I’m not the only one around
Did I just watch a man die,
Right in front of my eyes?
I’d like to tell you I’m sorry,
I was stunned and I was short on time
I feel like I should maybe help myself
But after all these years of troublesome health
I’m worried I might be finally beyond saving
And I’m terrified I’ll become one of them,
Just an empty soul going through the motions again
Hiding things that can’t stay hid forever
c h o r u s
I got a question,
I don’t think I want the answer
It’s hard enough with my own life up in the air
Did I just watch a man die?
Right in front of my eyes?
I’d like to tell you I’m sorry,
I was stunned and I was short on time
If this is all that I have,
All the time I got left,
I’d like to spend it with you, love,
I’m a wreck and you can get me well

I walked around the block last night,
About a dozen times
I tried my best to figure out
What I’ve left behind
Cuz things seem so familiar
That I’m not familiar with
I wish this was a dream,
That I could wake up from all this
c h o r u s
But if it isn’t going to happen, why have we let it get this far?
And if it isn’t worth the effort, why are we trying so hard?
And if all I’ve done is worthless, why’s there so much I enjoy?
And if there’s nothing out there, what was that noise?
The only thing I thought about
all day today was you
I wish I didn’t have to wait
to do what I wanted to
And there are times I wonder
why you stay like this with me
Things might be so easy
if we let each other be
c h o r u s
You sway into the room
And you lay down on the floor
Don’t worry, we won’t say a word
We’ve seen this side of you before
Oh lovely, what are you on?
I hope it’s not too strong
I’d hate to see you wreck yourself so soon
We’re all so far from home
So I guess we’re not alone
This is gonna take some getting used to
