LYRICS

I was leaning on the bar
when she walked in
Smile like summer
eyes like sin
She asked if I’d dance; I tipped my hat
That’s the start of where we’re at

She said, “Don’t let go”
I said, “I’ll hold on tight”
She said, “Let’s dance real slow”
I said, “I think I might”
Two hearts talkin’ in the midnight glow
She said, I said—now the whole world knows

Now we’re driving down a backroad, moon up high
Radio’s playin’ and the stars don’t lie
She whispered soft with her hand in mine
That was the moment I knew she’d be mine

She said, “Don’t let go”
I said, “I’ll hold on tight”
She said, “Let’s dance real slow”
I said, “I think I might”
Two hearts talkin’ in the midnight glow
She said, I said—now the whole world knows

Every love story’s got a line or two
Ours is simple, but it’s tried and true
Doesn’t take much, just a word and a vow
She said, I said—we’re forever now

She said, “Don’t let go”
I said, “I’ll hold on tight”
She said, “Let’s dance real slow”
I said, “I think I might”
Two hearts talkin’ in the midnight glow
She said, I said—now the whole world knows

I’m fallin’ into you
Like sun follows moon
Every little sign
Points back to you
I don’t want this to end
Can’t get you out of my mind

Two lonely people
Wishin’ on a star
Playin’ with their hearts
Like an old guitar
Waitin’ for a song
In the still of the night

Two hearts, one love, for life
Never let go, we won’t lose the fight
One wish, we can make the most of the night
One more touch, like it might be the last time
We’ll be together, forever

Little by little
I’m chasin’ you down
Grabbin’ at the wind
In some old ghost town
Till we both give in
And let the fire run wild

Two hearts one love, for life
Never let go, we won’t lose the fight
One wish, we can make the most of the night
One more touch, like it might be the last time
We’ll be together, forever

Tell me what a girl has got to do
To spend forever holding you
I don’t want this to stop
My head’s spinnin’ ’round

Two hearts, one love for life
Never let go, we won’t lose the fight
One wish, we can make the most of the night
One more touch, like it might be the last time
We’ll be together, forever

Hold on, hold on, don’t let it go tonight
Two hearts, one love, forever
Two hearts, in one love for life
Never let go, we won’t lose the fight
One wish, we can make the most of the night
One more touch, like it might be the last time
We’ll be together, forever

I was just a boy with a restless heart,
You were summer sunshine in the dark.
We were chasing fireflies, laughing till the night,

We found our way through the endless days,
Dreams on the table and bills to pay.
Through every change, the love stayed strong,
You were my shelter through the storm.

Take me back to that first kiss,
Nothing ever felt as good as this.
Every moment still feels brand new,
I fall in love again
every time with you.

Morning coffee with your hand in mine
We laugh at jokes we’ve told a thousand times
Every quiet moment feels so right
I wouldn’t trade a single day.

Now the years have flown but you’re still here,
The sound of your laughter is all I hear.
Our life together is my favorite song,
Your eyes still light the room for me.

Take me back to that first kiss,
Nothing ever felt as good as this.
Every moment still feels brand new,
I fall in love again
every time with you.

Time may take our yesterdays,
But it can’t take our truth.
Every road I travel down
Still leads me back to you.

Take me back to that first kiss,
Nothing ever felt as good as this.
Every moment still feels brand new,
I fall in love again
every time with you.

Baby, you’re drivin’ me crazy
And I’ve been a fool
For chasin’ all my dreams,
my dreams with you

It’s true that lately
That lately, I’m keepin’ watch
At rainbows turnin’
a bluer shade of blue
A blue I never knew

And baby, my mind’s gettin’ hazy
And we’re losing touch
Just wastin’ all these years,
And years are few.

You knew that maybe,
That maybe it’s not enough
To live with the same old words
Out of the blue
The blue I had with you.

And lately,
And lately I hear it now
In every silence turnin’
A darker shade of blue.
The blue between us two.

And baby, my mind’s gettin’ hazy
And we’re losing touch
Just wastin’ all these years,
And years are few.

I still see your shadows
Fallin’ across the room.
Still hear your voice,
Like an old familiar tune.

But every night grows colder.
Every light burns through.
And every road keeps leadin’
Away from you.
A blue I never knew.

And baby, my mind’s gettin’ hazy
And we’re losing touch
Just wastin’ all these years,
And years are few.
A blue I never knew.

She called me on a winter night
The sky was dark, no moon in sight
We spoke of things we barely knew
Held the quiet in between

She called me on a winter day
The sky was gray, no sun today
We traced our lives across the line
Of words that meant more than they seemed

And in her voice, the distance fades
A steady flame, a light that stays
No matter where the cold winds go
Her words are all I need to know

Through drifting snow and fleeting hours
The smallest truths, they feel like home
A pause, a breath, a moment shared
Turns ordinary into gold

And in her voice, the distance fades
A steady flame, a light that stays
No matter where the cold winds go
Her words are all I need to know

In the quiet, I can hear
A simple truth that draws me near
No matter how the winds may blow
Her voice becomes the space I know

And in her voice, the distance fades
A steady flame, a light that stays
No matter where the cold winds go
Her words are all I need to know

Slept last night to the light of a candle
In a dim light saw your shadow on the wall
Well you’ve been sayin’ things that I can’t handle
And I keep hopin’ we can have it all

’Cuz in my dream I saw you down by the river
Hand in hand we walked a country mile
Then I woke up in a cold sweat and a shiver
Hopin’ for a sweet tender lie

I’m prayin’ for a sign

There’s always a heartbreak in a girl’s room
I see my lonely heart on a pale moon
Keeps me up all night, singing a boy’s tune
Heartbreak happens too soon in a girl’s room

I never knew that we were breakin’ all apart
Guess I never knew what you were thinkin’ from the start
Should’ve kept away from you, I should have kept away

I’m hopin’ that the pain won’t need tomorrow
’Cuz every little thing about you I don’t need
Love always comes with a little sorrow
Forever you, forever me.

I’m prayin’ for a sign

There’s always a heartbreak in a girl’s room
I see my lonely heart on a pale moon
Keeps me up all night, singing a boy’s tune
Heartbreak happens too soon in a girl’s room

I can see your side of things
Yeah, I can sing it all the way through
Doesn’t matter
if I’m right
I just sing it like I do
I was probably hard to love
like you tell all your friends
But that story might depend
on where it starts and where it ends

I can see how it went down
Couple lines,
one sad song
One word turns to another
Next thing,
you’re up and gone
And I know I could change a line
Or two… or wait, that’s at the bar
But it don’t really matter
when I play this guitar

Yeah I’ll play your side
of the record
I might play it all night long
I might stretch it
I might fake it
I might just get it wrong
You can tell me what I’m missin’
but I’ll still play what I want
’cuz it’s your side of the record
but it’s not my song

I’m real glad he came along
Took your trouble
off my hands
He can deal with all
your moves
I’ll just watch it like a man
Hope he loves your
little quirks,
Like you say he will
But if he don’t,
I got a shovel
And a little free time to kill

Yeah I’ll play your side
of the record
I might play it all night long
I might stretch it
I might fake it
I might just get it wrong
You can tell me what I’m missin’
but I’ll still play what I want
’cuz it’s your side of the record
but it’s not my song

I’m the bigger man,
I swear
You can even keep the dog
I’ll just take
what’s left of me
And this half-written song
Yeah I get it,
people change
That’s what they say so far
Funny, how it all makes sense
when I play it on guitar

Yeah I’ll play your side
of the record
I might play it all night long
I might stretch it
I might fake it
I might sing along
And you can tell me what I’m missin’
but I’ll still play what I want
’cuz it’s your side of the record
but it’s not my song

Night rolled in without a warning
Coffee cold beside the bed
Half your things are still here with me
Half the words still in my head

So I drove around past midnight neon
Sang along with the radio
Drove until the towns got nameless
Destination anywhere

There’s another kind of heartbreak
Another kind of a heartache
Another kind of a love mistake
For me to get through
Another kind of a lover’s cross
Another well that you shut off
Another kind of habit to break
Another night singin’ with the moon

Came this far to learn the hard way
Some things miles can’t erase
Every town looks a little different
But every night ends the same

I keep sayin’ I’m gettin’ better
Like your memory don’t still stay
But the silence and the dashboard lights
Always give me away

There’s another kind of heartbreak
Another kind of a heartache
Another kind of a love mistake
For me to get through
Another kind of a lover’s cross
Another well that you shut off
Another kind of habit to break
Another night singin’ with the moon

Maybe every broken promise
Leaves a shadow when it goes
Maybe love don’t really leave you
Maybe it just changes roads

Pulled into a nowhere station
Just to watch the morning come
Girl behind the counter asked me
If I needed anything

I almost said your name out loud there
Like you were still mine to lose
Funny how a heart keeps holdin’ on
Long after love lets loose

There’s another kind of heartbreak
Another kind of a heartache
Another kind of a love mistake
For me to get through
Another kind of a lover’s cross
Another well that you shut off
Another kind of habit to break
Another night singin’ with the moon

Another night singin’ with the moon

Ten years and a mommy standin’ at the door
Broken hearts there on the floor
He’s steppin’ out just like the night before
Chasin’ fires he can’t ignore

Her heart’s tellin’ her he’s through
There’s nothin’ anyone could ever do

He has his freedom
She has her loneliness

There were many other nights like this
No desire in his kiss
She often wondered how it came to this
No more memories to reminisce

Her heart’s feelin’ nothin’ new
There’s nothin’ left for her to do

He has his freedom
She has her loneliness

No use in tryin’
She’ll make sense of it in time
All that matters now
Is how to keep from cryin’

And her heart’s feelin’ nothin’ new
And there’s nothin’ left but feelin’ blue

He has his freedom
She has her loneliness

Had some mud on my shoes
Pulled a stick from my eye
Stopped drinking bad news
Took the pie from the sky
Drank some coffee made last night
Watched the mornin’ find the light
And the world wasn’t crazy anymore

Honey, I’m home
Where I know the air beneath me
And the dog is there to greet me
Honey, I’m home
Where I can feel the open window
See the dishes in the sink.
And the mirror says,
you’re beautiful.
And the dress I wore
Matches my perfume

Maybe I’m home,
Honey, I’m home.

Brushed the rose off my cheek
Licked the time right off the clock
Stuck a sunrise in the dark
Put a song up on my hips
Kissed the words on my lips
And the day wasn’t busy anymore

Honey, I’m home
Where I know the air beneath me
And the dog is there to greet me
Honey, I’m home
I can feel the open window
See the dishes in the sink.
Where the mirror says,
I’m beautiful.
And the dress I wore
Matches my perfume

Maybe I’m home,
Honey, I’m home.

Put the wrong on the right
Made my heart my one and only
Stuck the valleys way up high
Where my voice wasn’t lonely
Then the doorbell rang
And I heard someone familiar
And the night wasn’t cold anymore

I see your face
I live your dream
I’m in the room
Where I know

Honey, I’m home
Where I know the air beneath me
And the dog is there to greet me
Honey, I’m home
I can feel the open window
See the dishes in the sink.
Where the mirror says,
I’m beautiful.
And the dress I wore
Matches my perfume

Maybe I’m home,
Honey, I’m home.

Honey, I’m Home

Just leave me lonely
Let me stay here with my memory
Don’t take that piece of me
The one that’s here on my mind
Just walk away slowly and let me be lonely

If you should see me
Don’t ask how I’ve been
Don’t make conversation
’Cuz we can’t be friends

And don’t make those eyes at me
When you know my heart’s
There on the floor
They keep saying lies to me
And you know I can’t take it anymore, so…

Just leave me lonely
Let me stay here with my memory
Don’t take that piece of me
The one that’s here on my mind
Just walk away slowly and let me be lonely

When we were lovers
I held you so close
There were no others
You were my rose

I’d spend each night with you
Every moment alive in your eyes
You’d kiss me so tenderly
Just leave me with one tender lie, and…

Just leave me lonely
Let me stay here with my memory
Don’t take that piece of me
The one that’s here on my mind
Just walk away slowly and let me be lonely

Nighttime hesitation
Daily review
We know the morning topics
Just like we always do

We moved around each other
Like there was something new
Half asleep beside you
The half that dreams the truth

And then you turn toward me

Your breath across my shoulder
A place to put my hands
Movin’ toward a whisper
An unexpected kiss
The danger in the moment
Nothing left to miss

Time quivers within me
And the rest of life arrives
A chill passes through me
There’s only you
Only me
Only a moment
And what we never said

A pause before we speak
A finger that lightly shakes
A dance around the morning
Till the mornin’ coffee’s made

A yawn to feed the moment
There’s always more to do
Sugar on the table
A spoon to stir the truth

And then I turn toward you

Your breath across my shoulder
A place to put my hands
Movin’ toward a whisper
An unexpected kiss
The danger in the moment
Nothing left to miss

Time quivers with me
The rest of life arrives
A chill passes through me
There’s only you
Only me
Only a moment
And what we never said

Your breath across my shoulder
A place to put my hands
Movin’ toward a whisper
An unexpected kiss
The danger in the moment
Nothing left to miss

Time quivers with me
The rest of life arrives
A chill passes through me
There’s only you
Only me
Only a moment
And what we never said

It doesn’t matter who you are
He says he loves you, but he’s gone too far
You’re all alone
He’s never coming back again

But there’s a chance that he never knew
That much about loving you
He’s played his cards
And now he’s on his own

She needs someone to care for
She needs someone who’s there for years to come
Not just anyone

What you had is all over now
You make amends for that and smile somehow
You’re on your own and walking out the door

You stop and think about the times you had
Some are good, others not so bad
And all at once, you’re calling out his name

She needs someone to care for
She needs someone who’s there for years to come
Not just anyone

What about the years you spent together
Doesn’t that mean anything to him

You play the game that all lovers play
You fill your glass and dry your tears away
You need some time to get your feelings straight
But it’s too late

She needs someone to care for
She needs someone who’s there for years to come
Not just anyone
