remember when we first met and all those things that we said? not gonna lie, I wanted you for the night ...but that was just the first step so where are you now and what’s running through your head? 2 weeks now on my mind, 2 weeks well spent so turn down the lights and close your eyes tonight I want your body, but your heart is the prize love could be what we needed all along I dare you to try and prove me wrong never thought it would be the case when I was watching you from that stage that a single night could turn into a thousand days so close your eyes, I’ll turn down the lights tonight I want your body, but your heart is the prize love could be what we needed all along I dare you to try and prove me wrong love could be what we needed all along so come with me, lets prove them wrong it’s those pieces of us of that make up our story & they won’t break when we’re older we’ll have time, but we know that’s a lie we turn down the lights and we got all night I wanted your body, but I learned that your heart is the prize

that art school girl you never could chase but now she don’t recognize her own face after a life of lies, parties, disguised dressed in a costume she’ll never retire she never thought she’d see you again... ain’t that strange? but ain’t that the way? in the dark with your hands held high praising God to be alive to find her, to find yourself hiding inside her she never thought she’d see you again... ain’t that strange? but ain’t that the way? you’d kill yourself to be where she stands you shudder, wipe the blood right off your hands to be next to her, you don’t give a damn she never thought she’d see you again... ain’t that strange? but ain’t that the way?

walk in and wade through the scars of the Hell you put us through open doors, empty lines, a blurred mirror like last night I’ll show you the door, promise you’ll leave forevermore I can’t feel you, can’t hold you anymore but damn, I loved you say you’re leaving, say your peace your pretty eyes could once comfort me through the weight of the words you’re saying I’m hoping, I’m praying I’ll show you the door, promise to leave forevermore I’m out of here, can’t see you, can’t feel you, can’t hold you near but damn, I loved you we’ll sleep and dream in between reconciling our faults this real life ain’t what it used to be so hold me for what it’s worth and for what it’s worth and we could be... but damn it all, I loved you damn it all, I loved you I do.

dreaming of your hotel in Boston, don’t come here too often I think that we should it’s too cold for me alone here in Queens out on the Boulevard put my last dollar into the tank I hope that I’ll make it soon you are all I need point the car north, don’t have the address hope you’ll send it my way I’m higher than moon when I’m with you need to get my fix on top of the world ...I better come down in case that you need me here you are all I need and when I find you there, I know that you’ll be waiting for me and we’ll make ourselves a home for a day you are all I need

Dreams 03:36
first rays of the sun, she drifts to sleeps her mind's been racing, hasn't slept in weeks for a few short moments, together our hearts beat like ships in the night, it's off into the world for me she's only at ease when she sleeps and I'm only free when she's next to me coffee racing through my veins watching time pass through my window pane off into the night, will we meet again? dancing in your dreams, just like time never ends she's only at ease when she sleeps  and I'm only free when she's next to me maybe we could dance in your dreams I’ll find you inside of your dreams, it’s where we will meet that’s the one place time can’t take you away from me she's only at ease when she sleeps  and I'm only free when she's next to me maybe we could dance in your dreams

Ocean 03:24
two weeks on the road, two weeks still from home and all that I want, is my lover's touch on the day that I return I want your love like the ocean let your waves crash on me I want your love like the ocean let me swim in your seas one more hotel room, a glass full of whiskey just thinking of you and all that I need, is you here with me baby please I want your love like the ocean let your waves crash on me I want your love like the ocean let me swim in your seas my heaven should be you right here next to me let me swim in your seas

I don't drive a pickup truck, but I'm sure country enough to play a couple songs like your Nashville radio and I've been putting in my time, up and down ol' 95 from New York City to Georgia and back again this travelin' thing is just how I get paid so my darlin' I'll see you when I can I'll see you when I can my baby knows all about them winding roads she's out on them more than I am we hold on tight, we hold on for our lives a love like this you just don't find twice these songs I sing, I'm sending them your way I love you more than you could understand this travelin' thing is just how I get paid so my darlin' I'll see you when I can I'll see you when I can this travelin' thing is just how I get paid so my darlin' I'll see you when I can I'll see you when I can these songs I sing, I'm sending them your way I love you more than you could understand

when I was a younger man I knew everything didn't need no help, cuz I had it made and time it catches up with me and I realize I didn't know, I didn't know anything I had it simple, I had it safe struck out on my own just to spread my name and time it gets the best of me and I realize I didn't know, I didn't know anything so take your plans and chase your stars we're closer to heaven than you think we are and time it catches up with me and I realize I didn't know, I didn't know anything I didn't know, I didn't know anything
