Out Of Date

Walking away all by myself
While my baby is calling someone else
Yeah, it seems like I was out of date
I'm thinking of all these things but it's too late
Right now there's nothing I can say
Cos any fool can regret yesterday
Here I am on my knees & pray
That love will, love will, love will come back my way

Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you
Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you, yeah

You never wanna hear the words 'It's over now'
When you thought that this would last forever
Never felt so stunned as when you said goodbye
Cos I always say you, always say you, always say you right by my side

Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you
Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you, yeah

Right now can't go on fooling myself
I sure as hell can't go on living this way
I can't go on
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't go on

Just want you to feel it the way that I do
Just want you to feel it when I'm gone
Just want you to miss me
Just want you to miss me
Hey!

Just want you to feel it the way that I do
Just want you to miss me like I miss you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just want you to feel the way that I do, the way that I do
Just want you to feel it the way that I do, yeah
Hey!

Walking away all by myself
While my baby is off with someone else
So here I am on my knees & pray
Hoping that love will, love will, love will come back my way

Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you
Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you
Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you
Who's going to miss me the way that I miss you, yeah
The way that I miss you
The way that I miss you
The way that I miss you
The way that I miss you

The Way Things Are

My broken winter
My first fall from grace
Just a bad beginning
When the night is over
What's gonna take the place
Of this hole inside me

And I dont wanna believe
That we live as we dream
Alone.
But even the greatest things
Can turn a heart into stone
Skin into bones

But that's just the way things are
But that's just the way things are
Sometimes

I've been looking everywhere for signs
I'm going out of my mind
And the things that I found
Spinning my head around
Looking everywhere for signs
Going out of my mind,
The things that I found
Spinning my head around

I want an explination
On how things
Turn out this way

But that's just way things are
And that's just the way things are
When that's just the way things are
When that's just the way things are
Sometimes

Alright

20 days and I needed a sign
I tried to tell you that the woman is blind
You can say whatever you want to say

When you were shining she was ready to glow
When you were running she was moving too slow
When you were stayed she was ready to go

And I know and I know
I know what to know but all you needed was a sad goodbye
And I say and I say
I say & I pray cos this love will never walk away

Cos I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright
Now it's not too late to set the fire on fire

20 nights and I needed you so
Tried to tell you what you wanted to know
There you left me in the haze for the chase

When I shined you were ready to glow
When I ran you were moving too slow
When I stayed you were ready to go

And I know and I know
I know what to know but all you needed was a sad goodbye
And I say and I say
I say & I pray cos this love will never walk away

Cos I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright
Now it's not too late to set the fire on fire

And I know and I know
I know what to know but all you wanted was a sad goodbye
And I say and I say
I say & I pray cos this love will never walk away

Cos I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you feel that it's alright -- The world is on my side
And I...
I'll do anything to make you see that it's alright -- The world is on our side

Left And Leaving Blues

Wait a minute
This was not supposed to happen
Now I'm in it
And it's taking the best of me, yeah
Cos I can't stand
When you get up & you leave
It's in my hands
But it's so far away from me
What if

I've been waiting a lifetime for this
What if
You'll regret not giving me a kiss

Wait a second
Don't want it ever to be over
Make it happen
Second that would last forever
Cos I can't take
Not ever feeling you again
But I'm afraid
That you will tell me that
What if

I've been waiting a lifetime for this
What if
You'll regret not giving me that kiss

Through lonely nights & troublesome days
Through light & darkness I want you to stay
Cos I don't ever want to close that door again

Told me that you had to leave
I didn't want to believe
I just want you to stay with me

Restating The Obvious

It's all quiet now
I hear your breathing on the other side of the line
Gotta make it alright
But we ran out of things to say right now
I try to make it out like
Th'r' was somehow to change your mind
We hang up the phone
You left me alone this time

Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go
Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go

It's all quiet now
I could listen to your breath all night
Just want you here
Right in my arms, but how?
Would never leave you
The way you wanna leave me now
Please don't hang up the phone
Cos I want you around somehow

Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go
Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go
Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go
Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go

Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go
Just want you to call
Knock on my door
Don't let it go

Going Going Gone

I've been waiting for that call all week to come
And I knew that I would lose this time all along

But I know you can feel it too
The same things that I do

Yeah, I understand the situation
The complication, yeah I do
But I just wanted a chance to say
I love you

But I know you can feel it too
The same things that I do

Now you're gone
And you can't see it
How good things
Could have been, yeah
Now you're gone
And you can't see it
How good things
Could have been, yeah

Is it to late for you to save me now?
I just want to set myself, but how?

But I know you can feel it too
The same things that I do

Now you're gone
And you can't see it
How good things
Could have been, yeah
Now you're gone
And you can't see it
How good things
Could have been, yeah

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel, yeah!

And I now you could feel it to -- Yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- You make me feel
And I now you could feel it to -- Yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- Yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- You make me feel, oh yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- You make me feel, yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- Yeah
And I now you could feel it to -- Oh oh, you make me feel
And I now you could feel it to -- Oh oh, you make me feel
And I now you could feel it to -- Oh oh
And I now you could feel it to -- Oh oh, yeah
And I now you could feel it to

The Last Goodbye

Can't imagine a life without you
Can't imagine our last kiss
Can't imagine a day without you
Can't imagine anything like this

I thought I could always count on you, yeah!
I thought that you'd be there to pull me through

Can't imagine a minute without you
Can't imagine this bed alone
Can't imagine a second without you
Can't imagine this life on my own

I thought I could always count on you, yeah!
I thought that you'd be there to pull me through

Last kiss, the last time I held your hand
Last knock on your door, cos I can't knock on it anymore
Last of our warm embrace, last time I touch your face
The last look in your eye, this might be the last goobye
The last goobye
The last goobye
The last goobye
The last goobye

I thought I could always count on you, yeah -- always count on you
I thought I could always count on you -- always count on you
I thought I could always count on you, yeah -- always count on you
I thought that you'd be there to pull me through

Something Missing

There's a hole in my heart when you're not here
Pick up the pieces everywhere
Wish I could call but what could I say
No simple way telling you to stay

There's no easy way to tell you how I feel
There's no easy way to say this is for real

There's a hole in my head when you're notaround
Miss the smell, miss the touch & I miss the sound
Just wanna hold you, don't wanna hold you down
There's a hole in my head when you're not around

There's no easy way to tell you how I feel
There's no easy way to say this is for real

There's a hole in my heart when you're not here
There's something missing
There's a hole in my heart when you're not here
There's something missing
There's a hole in my heart when you're not here
There's something missing
There's a hole in my heart when you're not here
There's something missing

200 Reasons Why

I remember all the little things
My hands through your hair
And the way your fingers touched me
To let me know that you were there
I get off on these silly things
Like the way that you smile
To see that sparkle in your eye
Is enough to make me go blind

Oh yeah! -- that's what I said
Oh my! -- one more time
The little things
The big things in life
Oh yeah! -- just a little bit louder
Oh my! -- yeah!
The little things
The big things in life

I remember the way you undressed me
The way you lead me to the bed
Still feel the taste of your kiss
And the sweetness of everything else
I could go on for hours
Telling you the reasons why
I already wrote you a list
That you can look on from time to time

Oh yeah! -- yeah my sweet!
Oh my! -- my, my, baby!
The little things
The big things in life
Oh yeah! -- one more time
Oh my! -- yeah!
The little things
The big things in life
Hey!

Oh, oh, oh, the little things
I can remember everything
Every whisper & every breath
Everything you ever said
Oh, oh, oh, the little things
That you gave to me
Just as sure as the setting sun
You can never take it away from me
Just as sure as the setting sun
You can never take it away from me

Same Heart That Will Tear Me Apart

Catch me now
When I'm falling down
Hear my words
Not a whisper, hardly a sound
Think of you, yeah
The quiet when your not around
Catch me now

Catch me now
I just lost all hope
All is gone
I don't know where to go
Think of you, yeah
My dreams are fading slow
Catch me now

Same love, same heart
Same heart that will tear me apart
Same life, same song
Same song that I've been singing so long
Same dream, same wish
Same wish that want to taste your lips
Same love, same heart
Same heart that will tear me apart
Catch me now

Catch me now
When I'm falling down
Catch me now

Catch me now
When I'm falling down

Desperate Attemps

I'm really sorry 'bout repeating myself
But I don't want things to turn out this way

I know a song won't help
But it is all that I got
It's all that I can give

So please forgive me for saying it again
Life's too short, yeah, life's too short to let it end

I know a letter won't help
Or even flowers on your door
Seems like nothing can help me anymore

But I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna let go
Cos I know that we got
Cos I know that we got
So much more
To give
To feel
To see

So darling excuse me for tryin' a bit too hard
But I'm just so afraid to lose everything we are

I know a song won't help
But I'll write a thousand to you
I's all that I can do

But I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna let go
Cos I know that we got
I know that we got
So much more
To give
To feel
To see
So much more
To give
To feel
To see
