Me and You How Forever Feels Every Other Weekend (With Reba) Better As A Memory
I move on like a sinners prayer And letting go like a levee breaks Walk away as if I don't care Learn to shoulder my mistakes Or built to fade like your favorite song Get reckless when there's no need Laugh as your stories ramble on Break my heart, but it won't bleed My only friends are pirates That's just who I am But I'm better as a memory than as your man Never sure when the truth won't do And pretty good on a lonely night Or move on the way a storm blows through And never stay, but then again, I might. I struggle sometimes to find the words Always sure until I doubt Walk a line until it blurs Build walls too high to climb out But I'm honest to a fault That's just who I am I'm better as a memory than as your man I see you leaning, you're bound to fall I don't want to be that mistake I'm just a dreamer and nothing more You should know it before it gets too late Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel You never know where they're gonna land First you're spinning, then you're standing still Left holding a losing hand But one day you're gonna find someone And right away you'll know it's true That all of your seeking's done It was just a part of the passing through Right there in that moment you'll finally understand That I was better as a memory than as your man Better as a memory than as your man What I Need to Do
Keep tellin' myself this is the right thing to do I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true And this old highway seems to understand Leadin' me on to somewhere where no one knows my name I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up I'm doin' all that I can to get my mind off us What I need to do is turn this car around Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown And run to her, take her in my arms Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard But I drive on, and on, and on Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep Now the sun's goin' down on my broken heart Lord, I gotta get back before I get too far What I need to do is turn this car around Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown And run to her, take her in my arms Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard But I drive on Yes I drive on, and on, and on Knowin' what I need to do Girl, I'm comin' home to you |
I Will Stand What I Need To Do Come Over
I turn the TV off, to turn it on again Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake Talking to myself, anything to make a sound I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over You can say we’re done the way you always do It’s easier to lie to me than to yourself Forget about your friends, you know they’re gonna say We’re bad for each other, but we ain’t good for anyone else I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over We don’t have to miss each other, come over We don’t have to fix each other, come over We don’t have to say forever, come over You don’t have to stay forever, come over I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over A Chance
Girl, don't you know it's all I can do To keep my hands off of you Anytime you're around And when the stars come out at night I dream of holdin' you tight Everytime I lay down It feels so good to me to have you this bad The only other thing I wish I had was A chance A chance To tell you how I feel about you How it feels to live without a chance A chance To tell you I'll love you forever Knowing that I'll never have a chance Sometimes reality hurts And you wonder if life's worth living at all Knowing no matter how much you care You'll never have a prayer Of having what you want At least I've been close enough I could taste Beauty at it's best but never a trace of A chance A chance To tell you how I feel about you How it feels to live without a chance A chance To tell you I'll love you forever Knowing that I'll never have a chance A chance A chance To tell you I'll love you forever Knowing that I'll never have The chance Who You'd Be Today
Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, I hear you laughin' in the rain. I still can't believe you're gone. It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who'd you be today? Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams? Settle down with a family, I wonder what would you name your babies? Some days the sky's so blue, I feel like I can talk to you, An' I know it might sound crazy. It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who you'd be today? Today, today, today. Today, today, today. Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. The only thing that gives me hope, Is I know I'll see you again some day. Some day, some day, some day. |
