You were in college workin'
part time waitin' tables Left a small town never looked back I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin' Wonderin' why we bother with love if it never lasts I say Can you believe it As we're lyin' on the couch The moment I could see it Yes yes I can see it now You remember we were sittin' there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Flash forward and we're takin' on the world together And there's a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes But we got bills to pay We got nothin' figured out When it was hard to take Yes yes this is what I thought about You remember we were sittin' there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Do you remember all the city lights on the water You saw me start to believe for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Oh oh oh And I remember that fight 2 30 am You said Everything was slippin' right out of our hands I ran out cryin' and you followed me out into the street Braced myself for the goodbye Cause that's all I've ever known Then you took me by surprise You said I'll never leave you alone You said I remember how we felt sittin' by the water And everytime I look at you it's like the first time I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter She is the best thing that's ever been mine Hold on Make it last Hold on Never turn back You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Yeah do you believe it We're gonna make it now And I can see it I can see it now |

The way you move is like a
full on rainstorm And I'm a house of cards You're the kind of reckless that should send me running But I kinda know that I won't get far And you stood there in front of me Just close enough to touch Close enough to hope you couldn't see What I was thinking of Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause' I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea You touch me once and it's really something You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be I'm on my guard for the rest of the world But with you I know it's no good And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile I run my fingers through your hair And watch the lights go wild Just keep on keeping your eyes on me It's just strong enough to make it feel right And lead me up the staircase Won't you whisper soft and slow I'm captivated by you baby Like a fireworks show Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile |

I'm so glad
you made time to see me How's life tell me how's your family I haven't seen them in a while You've been good busier then ever Small talk Work and the weather Your guard is up and I know why Cause the last time you saw me Still burns in the back of your mind You gave me roses and I left them there to die So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright I go back to December all the time These day's I haven't been sleeping Staying up playing back myself pleading When your birthday passed and I didn't call And I think about summer all the beautiful times I watched you laughing from the Passenger side Realized that I loved you in the fall Then the cold came the dark days when fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time I miss your touch and your sweet smells so good to me so right And how you held me in your arms that September night The first time you ever saw me cry Maybe this is wishful thinking Probably my less dreaming If we loved again I swear I'd love you right I'd go back in time and change it but I can't So if the chain is on your door I understand but this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I go back to December Turns out freedom aint nothing but missing you Wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind I go back to December all the time All the time |

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl I sneak in and see your friends and her snotty little family All dressed in pastel And she is yelling at a bridesmaid somewhere back inside a room Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry This is surely not what you thought it would be I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say Don't say yes run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out and they said speak now Fun gestures are exchanged And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march And I am hiding in the curtains It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen But I know you wish it was me you wish it was me Don't you Don't say yes run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out and they said speak now Don't say yes run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out and they said speak now I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace There's the silence there's my last chance I stand up with shaking hands all eyes on me Horrified looks from everyone in the room But I'm only looking at you I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl Don't say yes run away now I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out said speak now And you say lets run away now I'll meet when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor Baby I didn't say my vows so glad you were around When they said Speak now |

Long were the nights
When the days once revolved around you Counting my footsteps Prayin' the floor won't fall through again My mother accused me of losing my mind But I swore I was fine You paint me a blue sky and go back And turn it to rain And I lived in your chess game But you changed the rules every day Wonderin which version of you I might get on the phone tonight Well I stopped pickin' up And this song is to let you know why Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young To be messed with The girl in the dress Cried the whole way home I shoulda known Well maybe it's me And my blind optimism to blame Maybe its you and your sick need To give love then take it away And you'll add my name To your long list of traitors Who don't understand And I'll look back in regret How I ignored when they said Run as fast as you can Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young To be messed with The girl in the dress Cried the whole way home Dear John I see it all now it was wrong Don't you think nineteen's too young To be played by your dark twisted games When I loved you so I shoulda known You are an expert at sorry And keeping lines blurry And never impressed by me Acing your tests All the girls that you run dry Have tired lifeless eyes Cuz you burned them out But I took your matches Before fire could catch me So don't look now I'm shining like fireworks Over your sad empty town Dear John I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young To be messed with the girl in the dress Cried the whole way home I see it all now that you're gone Don't you think I was too young To be messed with The girl in the dress Wrote you a song You should've known You shoulda known Don't you think I was too young You shoulda known |

You
with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You pickin' on the weaker man Well you can take me down with just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean You with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down Trying to block you out cause I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay again I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion but Nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing But all you are is mean All you are is mean And a liar and pathetic and alone in life And mean and mean and mean and mean But someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Yeah Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean |

I used to think one day
we'd tell the story of us How we met and the sparks flew instantly And people would say they're the lucky ones I used to know my place was the spot next to you Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on Oh a simple complication miscommunications lead to fall out So many things that I wish you knew So many walls up I can't break through Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dyin' to know Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah I don't know what to say since a twist of fate when it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now Next chapter How'd we end up this way See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy And you're doing your best to avoid me I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us how I was losing my mind when I saw you here But you held your pride like you should've held me Oh I'm scared to see the ending why are we pretending this is nothing I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how I've never heard silence quite this loud Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dyin' to know Is it killing you like it's killing me Yeah I don't know what to say since a twist of fate when it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now This is looking like a contest Of who can act like they careless But I liked it better when you were on my side The battle's in your hands now But I would lay my armor down if you said you'd rather love than fight So many things that you wish I knew but the story of us might be ending soon Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room And we're not speaking And I'm dyin' to know Is it killing you like it's killing me yeah I don't know what to say since a twist of fate when it all broke down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy NOW NOW NOW YEAH And we're not speaking And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me yeah And I don't know what to say since a twist of fate cause we're going down And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now the end |

Your little hands wrapped

There I was again tonight
forcing laughter faking smiles Same old tired lonely place Walls of insincerity Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you Your eyes whispered have we met Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy And it was enchanting to meet you All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you This night is sparkling don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you The lingering queestion kept me up 2AM who do you love I wonder to I'm right awake Now I'm pacing back and forth wishing you were at my door I'd open up and you would say It was enchanting to met you All I know is I was enchanted to meet you This night is sparkling don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew This night is flawless don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you This is me praying that this was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you This night is sparkling don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew This night is flawless don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you |

Now go stand in the corner
and think about what you did Ha The story starts when it was hot and it was summer And I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him She came along got him along and let's hear the applause She took him faster than you can say sabotage I never saw it coming nor did I suspected it I underestimated just who I was dealing with She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum She underestimated just who she was stealing from She's not a saint and she's not what you think She's an actress She's better known for the things that she does On the mattress Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's toys on the playground Won't make you many friends She should keep in mind She should keep in mind There is nothing I do better than revenge She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it I think her ever present frown is a little troubling And she thinks I'm psycho Cause I like to rhyme her name with things but Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school So it's up to me But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity She's not a saint and she's not what you think She's an actress She's better known for the things that she does On the mattress Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's toys on the playground Won't make you many friends She should keep in mind She should keep in mind There is nothing I do better than revenge Ha ha I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey You might have him but haven't you heard I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey You might have him but I always get the last word She's not a saint and she's not what you think She's an actress She's better known for the things that she does On the mattress Soon she's gonna find Stealing other people's toys on the playground Won't make you many friends She should keep in mind She should keep in mind There is nothing I do better than revenge And do you still feel like you know what you're doing Cause I don't think you do Oh Do you still feel like you know what you're doing I don't think you do I don't think you do Let's hear the applause C'mon show me how much better you are See you deserve some applause Cause you're so much better She took him faster than you can say sabotage |

I guess you really did it
this time Left yourself in your warpath Lost your balance on a tightrope Lost your mind tryin' to get it back Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days Always a bigger bed to crawl into Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything And everybody believed in you It's all right just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent You're still an innocent There's some things you can't speak of But tonight you'll live it all again You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now If only you would sing what you know now then Wasn't it easier in your firefly catchin' days And everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep Before the monsters caught up to you It's all right just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent It's okay life is a tough crowd 32 and still growin' up now Who you are is not what you did You're still an innocent Time turns flames to embers You'll have new Septembers Every one of us has messed up too Lives change like the weather I hope you remember Today is never to late to Be brand new It's all right just wait and see Your string of lights are still bright to me Oh who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent It's okay life is a tough crowd 32 and still growin' up now Who you are is not what you did You're still an innocent You're still an innocent Lost your balance on a tightrope Lost never to like to get it back |

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break It's getting dark and its all too quiet And I can't trust anything now And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake Oh holding my breath Won't lose you again Something's made your eyes go cold Come on come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now I'm haunted Stood there and watched you walk away From everything we had But I still mean every word I say to you He will try to take away my pain And he just might make me smile But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead Oh holding my breath Won't see you again Something keeps me holding on to nothing Come on come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now I'm haunted I know I know I just know You're not gone You can't be gone No Come on come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong Won't finish what you started Come on, come on Don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone I can't go back I'm haunted You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time Never ever thought I'd see it break Never thought I'd see it |

I still remember the look
on your face Been through the darkness at 1 58 The words that you whispered for just us to know You told me you loved me so why did you go away go away I do recall now the smell of the rain Fresh on the pavement I ran off the plane That July 9th the beat of your heart It jumps through your shirt I can still feel your arms But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes All that I know is I don't know How to be something you miss Never thought we'd have a last kiss Never imagined we'd end like this Your name forever the name on my lips I do remember the swing of your step The life of the party you're showing off again And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in I'm not much for dancing But for you I did because I loved your handshake meeting my father I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions and I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss Never thought we'd have a last kiss Never imagined we'd end like this Your name forever the name on my lips So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep and I'll feel you forget me like I use to feel you breathe and I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are Hope it's nice where you are and I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day and Something reminds you You wish you had stayed we can plan for a change in weather and time I never planned on you changing your mind So I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss Never thought we'd have a last kiss Never imagined we'd end like this Your name forever the name on my lips Just like our last kiss Forever the name on my lips Forever the name on my lips Just like our last |

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds and stands went wild We were the Kings and the Queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same You held your head like a hero On a history book page It was the end of a decade But the start of an age Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders One day we will be remembered I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures around Of all the years that we stood there On the side lines wishing for right now We are the Kings and the Queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown When they gave us our trophies And we help them up for our town And the cynics were outraged Screaming this is absurd Cause for a moment a band of thieves In ripped up jeans got to rule the world Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you I was screaming long live the look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day we will be remembered Hold on Just spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall Can you take a moment promise me this That you'll stand by me forever But if God forbid fate should step in And force us into a goodbye If you have children some day When they point to the pictures Please tell them my name Tell them how the crowds went wild Tell them how I hope they shine Long live the walls we crashed through I had the time of my life with you Long, long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid Singing long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you Long long live the look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day we will be remembered |
