Cause you started it
And you seem into it
Don’t you dare act surprised

Cause only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
I’m leaving on the lights
Don’t go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh
What is on my mind

You know the game
Your wearing it
And you make the rules
I’m breaking out
And it’s feeling good
For sure you can’t deny

Cause you started it
And you seem into it
Don’t you dare act surprised

Cause only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
I’m leaving on the lights
Don’t go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh

It’s human nature girl
It’s how we turn the world
What better way to know that we’re alive

Only you know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
So I’m leaving on the lights
Don’t go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh

You know what is on my mind
I wanna see you
So I’m leaving on the lights
Don’t go act all sweetness
Cause honey that’s not right
Come on, you know oh oh
What is on my mind

Standin ’round in a crowded room
your face is here bring me back to you
leaving town slips into my head again
my friends say stay but I wanna go
there’s people here that I used to know

to the situation that you put me in
and I can tell myself that I will be gone
you can rest assure that I will be home

cuz I belong to the best of you
and you belong to the things I do
well this song is how I’ll remember you
cuz I can tell you what its like to be gone
you’re an old time memory
you’re an old time memory

laying back with the headphones on
a pen in hand takes me to the dawn
paper warned to the thoughts of you again
taking light of the time of night
a ballpoint fast full of work in mind
the chorus playing in my head again
cuz I can tell myself that I will be gone
but you can rest assure that I will be home

cuz I belong to the best of you
and you belong to the things I do
well this song is how I’ll remember you
cuz I can tell you what its like to be gone
you’re an old time memory
you’re an old time memory

well the feelings that remain
and the promises in vain
and the memories are stained
you do

cuz I can tell myself that I will be gone
and you can rest assured that I will be home

cuz I belong to the best of you
and you belong to the things I do
well this song is how I’ll remember you
cuz I can tell you what its like to be gone
cuz I can tell you what its like to be gone
you’re an old time memory

She would sit alone by the bank
Always coming home so late
She’d take off all her clothes and jjmp in
I’d be giving up man if she’d be giving in
Baby let me dry your hair

I got some clothes that you can wear
Over there on the bed
And I’d always forgive her, but the
Mississippi
River never did

She’d sit out on the dock and put her feet in
She was skipping rocks and she was skipping
School again
She stole my only cigarettes, she smoked the
whole pack one by one, light em up and
Put em to her lips
And I’d always forgive her but the Mississippi
river never did

She was always running away
No matter how hard I tried, she would
never stay, and I wish that she would run
to me
Like the Mississippi river, is running
towards the sea,
and now my poor heart is on the mend,
And I’ll always be with her, because the
Mississippi river never ends
I’ll always be with her because the Mississippi river never ends

I caught your perfect smile
As I watched you sleep
I saw your beautiful soul
When I felt your heart beat
Your body small your spirit eep
What might have been just makes me weep

Lydia
Where have you been?
Dreams of you
Washed up again

It’s the perfect time of day
To be thinking of you
The sun’s going down
And the sky’s still blue
When you’re looking down
Do you approve
Cause life downstairs gets hard on you

Lydia
Where have you been?
Dreams of you
Washed up again

Will you be gone forever?
Where do I begin
Your face in the moon
Reminds me
I will see you again

Thunder, hard rain, I’m lonely
I know you’re lonely too
Late night, thinking I need you
I know you need me too

You were talking fast and feeling down
So you spent the week, he was out of town
Woke up alone, I should’ve known you’d be gone

I’m tired of being your other guy
I wanna be more than your good time

But your love is breaking my heart
Come on little pretty
Let me out of your dark
Oh isn’t it a pity?
In a Cadillac with the back seat torn out
Looking back I should have turned it around
Love is breaking my heart
So let me go little pretty

Oh tell me baby what’s you plan?
Cause I don’t really understand
There’s gotta be a way for me to get to you

Yeah, I got you in when you lost your key
And scored some pills so you could sleep
I went home, woke up alone thinking ’bout you

I’m tired of being your other guy
I wanna be more than your good time

But your love is breaking my heart
Come on little pretty
Let me out of your dark
Oh isn’t it a pity?
In a Cadillac with the back seat torn out
Looking back I should have turned it around
Love is breaking my heart
So let me go little pretty

Don’t you call me up when you’re in need
Don’t you baby
Cause i’m in too deep I can barely breathe
And I’m tired of trying to tell you

That your love is breaking my heart
Come on little pretty
Let me out of your dark
Oh isn’t it a pity?
In a Cadillac with the back seat torn out
Looking back I should have turned it around

Now love is breaking my heart
Come on little pretty
Let me out of your dark
Oh isn’t it a pity?
In a Cadillac with the back seat torn out
Looking back I should have turned it around
Love is breaking my heart
So let me go little pretty, yeah
So let me go little pretty, yeah
So let me go little pretty, yeah
So let me go little pretty, yeah, yeah
So let me go little pretty

Breaking my heart, baby won’t you go to sleep

Red lights
Lead to green lights
And the exit of her heart
Our fights lead to long nights
And the wrong way to part

Lady of mine
Give me one more try
Cause I can do better
So much better

Her love’s
What I’m made of
They’re the boundaries
That we choose
Oh, teach me
Just what you’ve seen
With the patience
Of your youth

Lady of mine
Give me one more try
Cause I can do better
So much better
Lady of mine
Don’t say your goodbyes
Cause I can do better
So much better

You can
Through your weight
My way

You’re the best remedy
You’re the best medicine that I know

Lady of mine give me one more try
Cause I can do better
So much better
Lady of mine
Don’t say your goodbyes
Cause I can do better
So much better, better, better love

I’m holdin’ on
to pictures on my telephone
and I know that I should let you go
but it’s hard to break away.

I ask around
and I wonder what you’re doing now
but I hear that you’ve been going out
a little more these days.

Well, I can’t lie that I think from time to time
how you’re doing
but don’t hang up cause
what I really meant to say is

everything’s wrong, nothing’s going right
just know that I’m not hard to find.
So just say the word and I’ll race to you tonight
and I’ll be right there by your side…holding on.

Remember when
we were further than you’d ever been
and I think about it now and then;
it takes me to that place.
When I pretend
that I’m better than I’ve ever been
well at least that’s what I tell my friends
cause I can’t show my face

well, I can’t lie that I think from time to time
how you’re doing.
But don’t hang up cause
what I really meant to say

everything’s wrong and nothing’s going right
just know that I’m not hard to find.
So just say the word and I’ll race to you tonight
and I’ll be right there by your side

it’s hard enough to believe in something
more than just pretend.
And just because we both know it’s over
we could still be friends.

everything’s wrong and nothing’s going right
just know that I’m not hard to find.
So just say the word and I’ll race to you tonight
and I’ll be right there by your side

and I’ll be right there by your side
(repeat)

I, I saw you
I couldn’t think of what to say
So, I stumbled to the bar
And I just froze when I saw your face

Chorus
I didn’t know just what to say to you
And didn’t know just who to blame
But I didn’t want to face the days alone
for the night I didn’t get your name

So I, I tried slow
and whispered softly in your ear
Then I stumbled to your arms,
to set the stage for what I feared

Chorus

Fade into my life
Never getting it right
Risky fantasies
Made for what you see, inside

Chorus

Some words aren’t meant to be spoken
But you gotta say something
Some things aren’t meant to be broken

But you gotta break something
Sometimes you don’t wanna try
But you gotta try something
Sometimes you don’t want to feel
Don’t wanna feel nothing

I don’t mind singing
You gotta try something

Sometimes you misunderstand me
Why don’t you just listen
Let me out of your shadow
Let me out of your prison
I wish I could make up my mind
So many decisions
I know that I will be fine I will be forgiven

I don’t mind singingYou gotta try something

I’ll be waiting for the rest of my life
Don’t need anyone to save me

I don’t mind singing
You gotta try something

Don’t wanna feel nothing
Why dont you just listen
Let me out of your prison

WIsh I had the words, the words to say
I wish you had the patience anyway,
To let it go
Wish I had the words, the words to say
I wish I had the patience anyways,
Just let it go

To let it go
