Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight
Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance,
oh You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

Everyone's looking to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hoping it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting they're holding out

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance,
oh. You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show

Baby, the clock on the wall is lying,
It's not really that late.
It's too cold outside to be walking around the streets of this town,
And wherever you think you have to be can wait.


(Chorus)
Why don't you stay with me?
Share all your secrets tonight.
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise.
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed.
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah.


Baby, there's just no use in hiding,
The way that I'm feeling right now.
With you standing there, baby I swear, I can't help but stare.
Girl, you're wearing me out, wearing me out.


(Chorus)
Baby, stay with me,
Share all your secrets tonight.
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise.
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed.
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me.


Baby, don't go.
It looks like it's starting to rain.
And it's so warm here in this apartment wrapped up in this blanket, so,
Stay.


(Chorus)
Stay with me,
Share all your secrets tonight.
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise.
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed.
And we'll be alright as long as you stay,
I'll be alright, as long as you stay,
With me, yeah.

Stay with me.

Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself
To wake myself
I feel like I'm just sleep walkin through my life
Its like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion
But still somehow slowly goin' numb inside

I dont like who I'm becomin'
I know I've got to do somethin'
Before my life passes right by

I wanna cry like the rain
Cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin'
Fight with the devil and go down swingin'
Fly like a bird
Roll like a stone
Love like I aint afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I wanna live

Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard
To guard my heart
Well I hardly feel anything at all
I've spent my whole life building up this ivory tower
Now that I'm in it I keep wishin' it would fall

So I could feel the ground beneath me
Really taste this air I'm breathin
And know that I'm alive

I wanna cry like the rain
Cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin'
Fight with the devil and go down swingin'
Fly like a bird
Roll like a stone
Love like I aint afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I wanna live
I wanna live

Something deep inside keeps saying life is like a vaper
Its gone in just the twinklin' of an eye

I wanna cry like the rain
Cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin'
Fight with the devil and go down swingin'
Fly like a bird
Roll like a stone
Love like I aint afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I wanna take every breath i can get
I wanna live

Yeah Yeah

I couldn't wait until the morning
I couldn't wait until the time was right
I've got enough caffeine, enough gasoline
And I'm going to drive all night

The wheels keep rollin'
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holdin', holding you again

There's nothin' good on the radio
Ain't nothin' good at all when you're not by my side
And I still have a long way to go
Down this broken white line

The wheels keep rolling
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holdin', holding you again

I can't wait, no I can't wait
I can't wait to touch you

The wheels keep rolling
I feel like my soul is caving in
Until I'm holding, holding

Holding, holding,
Holding you again
Holding you again

It was noon time, down time, break time
Summertime, Miller Time, anytime
She was looking pretty fine
A red light, green light, go
All fired upside downtown
She was shaking me all around
I was tuned in, going nowhere, second wind
Jonesing, drooling, feeling good, if you would

(chorus)
Oh yeah, by the way she moves
She's got me rolling in dirt in a white T-shirt
Breaker, breaker 1-9, she's a big ol' flirt
By now she's got me pretty tied up
Tied down, any way I choose
I got nothin' to lose

In like Flynn, I was
Looking for the win
Just trying anything, hey
Baby, where you been
All my life I've been looking for
Someone like you
Falling head over heels
Hey, what can I do

(chorus)

(bridge)
Now I'm in the fast lane, going 98
By now I know she can
Smooth operate me
I know now, she's no goody-two-shoes
But hey, I got myself nothin' to lose

(chorus 2x)

Noon time, down time, break time
Summertime, Miller Time, any time
She was looking pretty fine
In like Flynn I was looking for the win
Just trying anything, hey baby where you been
All my life I been looking for someone like you
Falling head over heels hey what can I do
I got nothin' to lose, yeah

There's a hole in my heart
Seems like I've always been tryin' to fill with the treasures in life
The pleasures of the night but nothing ever will
There's a restlessness deep in my soul
And I know it's ruining me
All these regrets of mine haunt me all the time
They won't let me sleep

Oh, but sooner or later I'm gonna get some rest
Throw the world off my shoulders
Get this weight off my chest
Oh, I know that it won't be tonight
But I'm going to keep lookin' until I find
A little peace of mind, yeah

I don't know how you knew just what to say just what to do
To leave but still stay
To walk away and keep me hangin' on to you
Oh, can't you see what your love has made of me
My feet keep pacin'
It's you I'm still chasin'
God, I wish I could sleep

Oh, but sooner or later I'm gonna get some rest
Throw the world off my shoulders
Get this weight off my chest
Oh, I know that it won't be tonight
but I'm gonna keep lookin' until I find
A little peace of mind, yeah

Sooner or later I'm gonna get some rest
Throw the world off my shoulders
Get this weight off my chest
Oh I know that it won't be tonight
But I'm gonna keep lookin' until I find
A little peace of mind

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, a little peace of mind
Yeah, a little peace of mind
A little peace of mind, yeah

(fade)

Let me understate, how I adore, how I admire and more
And walk a hole in the floor
Like a fast freight train, screaming through the dark
Making a penny in my heart
And that's just where it starts

My lonely nights turn to days
My lonely days turn to how my life is going
Endless, helpless hoping
I can dream and I can believe
But, you're the only one who can heal
This heart that's broken
Endless, helpless, hoping

All the words that I write just don't impress
They don't leave my desk, like me it's a mess
I try to tell you, but you tell me that
You're my friend, how could I let that end
So I just let you love him

My lonely nights turn to days
My lonely days turn to how my life is going
Endless, helpless hoping
I can dream and I can believe
But you're the only one who can heal
This heart that's broken
Endless, helpless, hoping

Now I know how a widow
Staring at the sea feels
Waiting for a ship to come home
Waiting there alone

My lonely nights turn to days
My lonely days turn to how my life is going
Endless, helpless hoping
I can dream and I can believe
But you're the only one who can heal
This heart that's broken
Endless, helpless, hoping

Hoping, hoping, hoping

I can count a hundred reasons why
but ninety-nine would still be shy
of a good excuse of for why you're gone

The truth will burn you when you know you're wrong
It's hard to face what you regret so holding on was better
than living life and losing you
I guess a liar can't escape the truth

So why was I so surprised that
you found a way to finally get on with your life
And trade the lows for the highs you deserve
I'm all alone with things
I can't change and no one to share the blame

I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself
Of paying rent in this living hell
I guess it is time I started facing facts
Chances are you are never coming back
What gives me the right to keep up this fight

You found a way to finally get on with your life
trade the lows for the highs you deserve
I'm all alone with things I can't change
and no one to share the blame

For your pain for the cost of your crying
Can't undo what I did
There is no use denying

So why was I so surprised that
you found a way to finally get on with your life
Trade the lows for the highs you deserve
I'm all alone with things I can't change.
And no one to share and no one to share the blame.

I can count a hundred reasons why.

In case you hadn't noticed
I'm a logical guy
I put two and two together
And came up with you and I
Made an informed decision
My ducks are in a row
Well I'm doing all this thinkin'
Well I guess you ought to know
Hey baby, I would look good with you

I'm a little too short
You're a hair too tall
I can but a stepladder ain't no trouble at all
With my powers of persuasion
And your cheerleader smile
My uncanny way with numbers
And your middle class style
Hey baby, I would look good with you

'Cause everybody's beautiful
If you take the time to see
Don't have to be sensible
Hey baby just as long as it's me

We can take a cue from Noah
And build a really big boat
You could work on your tan while we sail to Rio
Don't matter where we're headed
Don't matter what we do
Got a sneaky suspicion
And I'm pretty sure it's true
Hey baby, I would look good with you

'Cause everbody's beautiful
If you take the time to see
Don't have to be sensible
Hey baby just as long as it's me

'Cause everbody's beautiful
If you take the time to see
Don't have to be sensible
Hey baby just as long as it's me

No one believed Columbus
When he said the world wasn't flat
Believe me when I tell you
Right here is where it's at
Hey baby I would look good with
Hey baby I would look good with
Hey baby I would look good with you

Friday night and feeling alright
At the end of a long hard week
Picked her up she jumped into my truck
And slid into the passenger seat
She said I don't care where we go
As long as we're rockin' to your radio

Turn it up, turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy, turn it up

We were drivin', moonlight riding
Wound up down a dead-end road
I was in the mood trying to make my move
I leaned over and I pulled her close
She said there's plenty of time for romance
Right now all I wanna do is dance, so

Turn it up, turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy

Cause all I wanna do tonight is
Shout at the moon, shoot out the lights
It don't matter as long as the music's on
She said whatever the plan
They're playing our song

She said I don't care where we go
Long as we are rocking to your radio

So turn it up, turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy, turn it up

Turn it up
There ain't no such thing as loud enough
Let's rock, I'm ready to roll
Let's go crazy, turn it up

Turn it up, yeah, Turn it up

There's no holding you back when you're leavin'
I'll have to face it alone until tomorrow
And as your fading away
I know it's a matter of hours till the tears begin
Guess I'll turn out the lights and I'll settle in

For the long one
For the restless night
As your memory plays with no end in sight
It's a strong one and it holds on tight
Laying in the darkness
Praying for the morning sun
It's a long one

I've been through this before it wasn't easy
I think I'm ready this time
I think I'm ready
I'll lay down on this bed and then
I'll imagine your touch and I'll see your face
And the shadows will come and surround this place

For the long one
For the restless night
As your memory plays with no end in sight
It's a strong one and it holds on tight
Laying in the darkness
Praying for the morning sun
It's a long one

These days go by so fast
Oh, I just turn around then they're gone
And when the night time goes
It's long and lonely
Holding on and on

For the long one
For the restless night
As your memory plays with no end in sight
It's a strong one and it holds on tight
Laying in the dark
Praying for the morning sun
It's a long one

It's a long one

He used to play in daddy's uniform
With the stripes across the sleeve
And he knew when he was all grown up
What he was gonna to be
He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog
That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn

And even though he didn't know
What his dad was fighting for
He was proud to be the other little soldier
In this war

The phone rang in the middle of the night
When they called his dad to go
Kissed him and his mom goodbye
And said God I love you both
I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man
But hold the fort and
I'll be home as quickly as I can

And even though he didn't know
What his dad was fighting for
He was proud to be the other little soldier
In this war

A wall cannot begin to hold
The names of all the kids
Who gave the great sacrifice
That any child could give

It was the first time he had ever seen
A flag from up that close
And he watched them as
They folded it so careful and so slow
As they gave it to his mother
He knew what he should do
He raised his little hand and
Gave his dad one last salute

And even though he didn't know
What his dad was fighting for
He was proud to be the other little soldier
He was proud to be the other little soldier
In this war
