Like the chain that holds me back, I can't move forward pressing onto you. It's strength I lack. I need something that's helping me get through; something to pursue. It's all too real. I'm nothing like your perfume, so don't let me discontinue to something you can't find anymore. I won't let you become a song that I can't sing if you're gone. You know, you keep me hanging on. It's the thought that keeps me here; grounded without so much as a doubt. And though I fear, I'm not afraid of this. It's all too real. I'm nothing like your perfume, so don't let me discontinue to something you can't find anymore. I won't let you become a song that I can't sing if you're gone. You know, you keep me hanging on. If the space wasn't so far and if the time wasn't so long, you know, I'd trek to find you there if you were there. I'm nothing like your perfume, so don't let me discontinue to something you can't find anymore. I won't let you become a song that I can't sing if you're gone. You know, you keep me hanging on. But, I will let time be time as long as you will be mine. Oh, this just feels like a dream.

Hello dear, is it clear that you give me something I can't stand for? If it's so, please let me know because I won't wait around for you forever. And I'll keep walking forward in my bare feet: it's like I'm heading nowhere on this dead end street. Hello boy, do I seem coy? Because I feel somewhat realistic. It feels like June; I'll wait until noon to get dressed for no special occasion. And I feel alright. And I'll keep walking forward in my bare feet: it's like I'm heading nowhere on this dead end street. And I'll keep walking forward in my bare feet: it's like I'm heading nowhere on this dead end street...this dead end street.

So much time has passed. Before I say this, just know you've been always on my mind: the past is gone, but anything can happen. I hope you know it happens all the time. If you were a stone's throw away, I'd aim for your bedroom window in the middle of the night. I supposed it'd be all I can say to thank you for this chance you gave me; forever's in our sight. I guess, you know, this time hasn't been easy or watched those times that I'd be up in bed. I'm dreaming of the next time I could hold you, but I guess these dreams will have to do instead. If you were a stone's throw away, I'd aim for your bedroom window in the middle of the night. I supposed it'd be all I can say to thank you for this chance you gave me; forever's in our sight. And if this song was all it takes to bring me through this sorrow state, I'd make the moves I'd have to make; this is what they meant by fate. And if this song was all it takes to bring me through this sorrow state, I'd make the moves I'd have to make; this is what they meant by fate.

We watched the clouds come rolling in straight across the moon. Summertime was high and dry, but somehow I found you off 150th; we'll make the most of this. A second chance means more than that when sealed in sweetness. As we walked on the concrete with art under our feet, I couldn't help those things I felt were more than they had seemed. I had felt so calm, knowing all along I couldn't let my past regrets make this feel wrong. I can't sit and worry of what this may become. We're both in no big hurry to grow out of being young. So, here's your invitation to let you in my life. This moment was a lifetime that started tonight. I'll take this opportunity that you have given me to may just, just this once, ask this of you: Please, don't be like the rest that left me in this mess. This could be the came true dream we made up in our heads. I can't sit and worry of what this may become. We're both in no big hurry to grow out of being young. So, here's your invitation to let you in my life. This moment was a lifetime that started tonight. I can't sit and worry of what this may become. We're both in no big hurry to grow out of being young. So, here's your invitation to let you in my life. This moment was a lifetime that started tonight. We can't sit and wonder if this isn't meant to be, because that's just not my style. I'm sure you can agree that maybe someday we can look back and hold our heads high, above the masses, or to ourselves instead.

We're driving 50 miles across the hills of Ohio and nothing seems to stay the same. The scenery all changes and I'm left without a name, just a wallet full of twenty dollar bills. The gas tank still reads "Full" and it is right up to the brim. It feels so damn nice to get away. My stereo still sings me through those long and lonely nights: "the world that's flying by is slick and smooth." What's it feel like to get away from this world? I can't escape; I bet it feels like a pill, or a drug that I can't shake, or a dream. I cannot wake up from this reality. We're riding on six hours now across this new found land and I never thought it'd feel so good. So, I lit up one last cigarette and I called it a night away from a place that I call home. What's it feel like to get away from this world? I can't escape; I bet it feels like a pill, or a drug that I can't shake, or a dream. I cannot wake up from this reality. Yeah, What's it feel like to get away from this world? I can't escape; I bet it feels like a pill, or a drug that I can't shake, or a dream. I cannot wake up from this reality. Wake up from this reality.

You say "It's alright. I've layed with fools who hurt me outright. Much like you, I played You into My lonely life to fill this darkness with your light." My heart's been heavy. It weighs me down, but it stays steady when you're around. It's like, you hold me tighter than the chains that slow me down again. I want you to know that you've kept my head above the waters, drowning from someone's orphaned daughter who couldn't hold a flame to the woman that you are. I wish you could be inside my head for half of a second; you could see all the things I think and feel for you.

We're chasing trains in this automobile; It's half past twelve. I've got my hands at the wheel of "ten and two," but this clock isn't right. I'd rather be at home, in bed, snuggled up tight with you. I set my eyes to the speed. A light comes on and it reads, so I look up to see a car spinning, careening onto you and me. We're gripping for dear life. We look at the street lights; it makes us feel alright, and we sing... ... We sing our own requiem. A new light shines on again and it says "Welcome home to your friends." Where'd we go? Wherever, it just seem it came and went. We're gripping for dear life. We look at the street lights; it makes us feel alright, and we sing... Wake up! It's all a dream. Wake up! It's all a dream. Wake up! It's all a dream. It's all a dream. "As I rest, Lord, give me peace. Deal with this heart in me and if you come to take me, please, perfect be this life I lead. As I rest, Lord, give me peace. Deal with this heart in me and if you come to take me, please, perfect be this life I lead."

I'll stay on the phone with you in this parking of this midnight town and I'll sing you to sleep until my voice becomes weak. We won't give it up until I feel your heart beating next to mine, beating 4/4 time. You're away my dear but I'm feeling fine. I'll put myself to rest and I'll do my best to cope without you. Say you're mine tonight. Say I'm your's and we'll make it through tonight. It's just too much for me to take with a heart so big and a love so fake, because it's just what I think. When I see that wink coming from your face you can't be replaced, at least not to me. Can't you see this boy standing there? He just hopes you care for him like he does you; puts himself to rest and tries to live without you. Say you're mine tonight. Say I'm your's and we'll make it through tonight. Say you're mine tonight. Say I'm your's and we'll make it through tonight. Stay with me tonight as I hold you close, and we'll make it through tonight.

Standing on this porch, I remember when you were on my lap and I was on this bench. You said you "couldn't see living in this world with anybody else or anyone but" me. "That sounds like a plan!" And yes, I did agree, but that was long before the day you left me. So, now I stand alone covered in the night. It's not the shape that I'm in but the way I've been living shows you just how bad that this hole that you put in my heart, that was once so forgiving, may never let someone in. And on our wedding day, you looked me in the eyes and said "I swear to God, I'll never leave your side." It was all a farce and it was all a play; you left in the first act. I couldn't make you stay. You say I'm "better off" and I believe you're right. It's not the shape that I'm in but the way I've been living shows you just how bad that this hole that you put in my heart, that was once so forgiving, may never let someone in. It was you; I can't believe it was you that helped me see the truth that maybe I could be okay alone. It's not the shape that I'm in; not the shape that I'm in. It's not the shape that I'm in; not the shape that I'm in.

She crossed the street ever so slowly, to count the steps that it took to get to the other side. She said "fifteen." "I disagree; your toes had barely even touched the curb." Well, she came right back and said "Don't be so pessimistic. If you had an inch left in this world, you know I'd let you take it." My hand's been shaking since the first day we met. They are wrapped around the small of your back to hold you close so you don't run away and to paint a picture for this guitar to play. Across these storefronts, the neon light: they illuminate the sidewalks that we took to get home. "One, two, three..." Don't do this to me. "Can't we just enjoy the fact that we're all alone?" "Haven't you heard that chivalry was killed by lies, and deceit, and all the crazy things this world has become?" My hand's been shaking since the first day we met. They are wrapped around the small of your back to hold you close so you don't run away and to paint a picture for this guitar to play.

I never could ask you to try, but imagine I gave up my life and never once told you why. Well, I'm here and I'll tell you now: you make me, your husband, so proud; enough to do that for you. I declare this to you; things that you never knew until now: You're the love of my life and your happiness is all I need. I'd never second guess if your heart would ever disagree. My promise to you is that I will always hold the key and every single thing that I would do for you, you'd do for me. To think that we chanced it for fate made it easy for us to create our love; so pure and true. All those things that we said: we can put them to bed and forget all the times that we seem to regret and move on. You're the love of my life and your happiness is all I need. I'd never second guess if your heart would ever disagree. My promise to you is that I will always hold the key and every single thing that I would do for you, you'd do for me. Our love, so strange; our lives remain this better off than what they were and now we're sure that we've found love. You're the love of my life and your happiness is all I need. I'd never second guess if your heart would ever disagree. My promise to you is that I will always hold the key and every single thing that I would do for you, you'd do for me. So, let me take this time to speak every single truth to you: I thought I knew what love was, but now I guess I never knew. I can confidently say that all of this was overdue. If I had to do it all again, I know that we could make it through: from the time you moved back and didn't know where to start, or the day I met you and knew that you had stole my heart, to the twenty-second when each of us would decide that we would be together until the day that we died.
