She slams the door and you come running
A crazy love has made you sick This time you never see it coming Then it hits you like a ton of bricks I've always been the one Who puts you back together She gets the best of you And I get your stormy weather I need some sunshine of my own (Sunshine of my own) Chorus: Remember next time when you fall When you crash into that same ol' wall Don't call Follow your star to God knows where When it burns out, I won't be there I'm so done pickin' up the peices We've known each other for so long now Commit your every line to memory We could be so perfect If you'd open those eyes,you'd be surprised You've got my garauntee I thought it was crystal clear That we belong together If something is absent here Then go chase that stormy weather Repeat Chorus (Pickin' up the peices) I'm so done pickin' up the peices (Pickin' up the peices) I can't pick up your peices anymore... Repeat Chorus Remember next time when you fall I'm so done pickin' up the peices When you crash into that wall I'm so done pickin' up the peices Remember next time when you fall Don't call When you crash into that wall Remember next time you fall I need some sunshine of my own Remember next time you fall I need some sunshine of my own |

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes Give you courage in a world of compromise Yes, I would If I could I would teach you all the things I've never learned And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned Yes, I would If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine I'll watch you grow so I can let you go If I could I would help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would if I could In a time and place where you don't wanna be You don't have to walk along this road with me My yesterday won't have to be your way If I knew I'd try to change the world I brought you to Now there isn't much more that I can do But I would if I could If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine I'll watch you grow so I can let you go If I could I'd help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would if I could |

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's cloud's illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel When every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughin' when you go And if you care don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say, "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed But something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all |

Born with heaven in their eyes
God sent, innocent, the promise of life Born into this mess we've made Holding the future and hope of better days ?Cause these is nothing more beautiful and wild Than the dreams that grow in the heart of every child They are the roses, they are the lights that shine They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide They are angels, they are souls in flight They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright, they are the roses Imagine a place filled with happy sounds of playgrounds Where every child is safe Where people join hands and pray that the children Will all have a chance In every family, every tribe and every town We?re the keepers of this garden, and we can?t let them down 'Cause they are the roses, they are the lights that shine They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide They are angels, they are souls in flight They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright, they are the roses Imagine a place Where all people join hands, and every child is safe 'Cause they are the roses, they are the lights that shine They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide They are angels, they are souls in flight They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright They are the roses, they are the lights that shine They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide They are angels, they are souls in flight They are the hope that everything?s gonna be alright |

There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen You come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams And the Mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota At a place that you could walk across with five steps down And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart Now you rush right through me and I start to drown And there's not enough room in this world for my pain Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain Of all my demon spirits I need you the most I'm in love with your ghost Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night makes me blush And you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper I go follow to the river play your memory like a piper And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly And that's the edge of sanity, I've never been this close I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost Unknowing captor, you never know how much you Pierce my spirit but I can't touch you Can you hear it, a cry to be free? I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips As I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels This bitter pill I swallow is the silence that I keep It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse than most I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost |

These wasted days have all piled up
Right there by the door My memories stretched as far as I can see Blank white pages and brand new faces Are all I'm looking for They say the things that mattered Don't matter like before Let it rain, let the sky fall down No matter what I face I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide With just one ounce of faith I'm going to make today, make today beautiful I've cast these doubts into the breeze And watched them fly away Letting go of expectations one by one I'm not chasing perfect, it's not worth it Things can't stay the same So let the sky grow dark now Go ahead and Let it rain, let the sky fall down No matter what I face I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide With just one ounce of faith I'm going to make today, make today beautiful Every change, every ending Takes me places I've never been Who'd have guessed I belong here? Let it rain, just let the sky fall down No matter what I face I'm gonna make today, make today beautiful I'm fighting the tide, hope is my only guide With just one ounce of faith I'm going to make today, make today beautiful Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain |
