Little Big Town

Another long lonely nights
Wrestling with what he'd done and what's he might
Do while she cries
She's had enough,she's waking up and she decides
She'd rather try to brave it on her own
This hollow house has never been a home

[Chorus]
Tired of living a life like that
Giving a love she don't get back
Lies as big as a Pontiac
Rolling all over her
Tired of the words that just won't stick
She knows not to believe it
No more hanging on to what will never be
No more hanging on to what will never be

Straight down the line
She misreads his every move each and every time
And if love once was blind
She's opened up her eyes to see the fading light
She's been a prisoner of her emptiness
Locked in a box of her own,loneliness

[Chorus]

She'd rather try to brave it on her own
This hollow house has never been a home

[Chorus]

I saw you before you saw me
And yeah, it really took me back
Can't believe how long it's been
Took you a while to recognize me
Oh, imagine that
When we were so close back then
No, nothing stays the same
Love, oh, it slips away

Everything changes
Doesn't it, baby
It's amazing how time flies
Turning the pages
Of yesterday, hey
In only the blink of an eye
Everything changes
Everything changes
Everything

Somewhere I still have a picture
You were in that party dress
I remember dancing slow
Thought those days would last forever
How soon we forget
And how far away they go

Everything changes
Doesn't it, baby
It's amazing how time flies
Turning the pages
Of yesterday, hey
In only the blink of an eye
Everything changes
Everything changes
Everything

We try to hold it in our hands
But love falls through like grains of sand
One day it's there and then it's gone
Gone, gone, gone

Everything changes
Doesn't it, baby
It's amazing how time flies
Turning the pages
Of yesterday, hey
In only the blink of an eye
Everything changes
Everything changes
Everything
Everything changes

I've been here before
It only made me cry
I felt so sure
I never questioned why
Till I woke up alone
That's why I have to ask you
Baby what's behind your kiss
I need to know your heart's in this

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for the kind of love
That is strong enough
To walk through anything
So don't waste my time
So don't waste my time
I only want to play for keeps
want to fall in deep
If you don't just say goodbye
Don't waste my time

The words you say
Are what I want to hear
Promises you make
Are music to my ears
Is it the heat of the moment talking
Promises come easily
Give me something to believe

[Chorus]

Time, time, time, time

[Chorus: x2]

Don't waste my time

You, what you do,you always find a way to make me fall in
Love, deep in love,I'm reminded every time we touch you're

[Chorus]
Still the sweetest dream I know
Still the place I want to go
Still the one thought on my mind
After all this time you're still in my heart
You're still in my heart

You, It's always been you,there's never been another that comes to you
You, and the way you move me every time you first time baby

[Chorus]

Still want you, still need you, still living just to love you
Still crave you, still breathe you, still give my whole world for you you're
Still the star in my sky
Still the real love in my life
Still the beginning and the end
I'd do it all all again,yeah you're

[Chorus]

Still want you, still need you, still living just to love you
Still crave you, still need you, still breathe you, still give my whole world for you
Still want you, still need you, still living just to love you
Still crave you, still breathe you, still give my whole world for you

I've seen it come and I've watched it go
The ins and outs and the highs and lows
Well I gave my heart and I paid the cost
For the loves I made there were friends I lost
At the point I'd almost had enough
Like the morning sun you woke me up
You held me close and you help me see
Oh you made a believer out of me

[Chorus]
Now I'm alright
I've got you in my life
And I've never felt love feel so right

It's a miracle and a mystery
How the hands of fate brought you to me
I had lost all hope,I had lost all faith
With each kiss you loved my fear away

[Chorus]

Well it's good to feel and for once I know
That I'll never have to worry about you letting go
No matter where the road may lead
As long as I've got you with me

I'll be alright
I've got you in my life
Now I'm alright
And I've never felt so love feel so right
Never felt love ever feel so right
Never felt love ever feel so right
Never felt love

One in a million mama that's good enough for me
And you can't make me stay here anyway now that I'm 18
With everything she had in a duffle bag she set out to show the world
She was more then just a homecoming queen and daddy's little girl

In a cloud of dust on a Greyhound bus she crossed the Cook County line
Slept all the way to Nashville,big dreams running through her mind
She said sure as I'm breathing I'm gonna be a big someday
Yeah,she was jumping right into the deep end on a leap of sweet blind faith

[Chorus]
It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk on the wire and never looking down
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Yeah,yeah,yeah,it's all about trying

It's been six years since she left home and she hasn't made it big yet
Oh but there's no second guessing baby,she's got no regrets
She still works late shift down at the Greasy Spoon cafe
When she brings you out your milkshake you just might hear her say

[Chorus]

It's not whether you win or lose
It's getting in the game

[Chorus]

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire and never looking down
It's all about trying

How can I bear to wake up and you're not there
What will I do when I turn and reach for you
I lay my tears on the windowsill
I'll only cry till I get over you
But how long will it take me
Won't you save me

[Chorus]
Stay just a little bit longer
Till I'm a little bit stronger to take all this and
Stay just a little more time
Till I can find a way
Please stay

Will I ever smile again when losing my best friend
To wonder where,wonder how,wonder what you're doing
One more night just before you break me
Hold me safely

[Chorus]

So I'll be a big girl and close my eyes
As you walk away don't you say goodbye
God save me,please won't you

[Chorus]

I'm too tired to get a job
Gonna thumb out of Abilene
It's time to take a chance on
Someplace I've never ever seen
'Cause I've got nothing to lose

Too much to see it all
There's miles in front of me
Street signs,never mind
I'm gonna do just what I please
'Cause I've got nothing to prove

Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
Well I'll be someplace far away

Don't know if I'll stop
I've never been to New Orleans
I'm just a rolling rock yeah
Gonna make a break,break it clean
Don't want nothing but the truth

Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
Well I'll be someplace far away

Solitary,all alone
To the quick and to the bone
On the edge and unafraid
What's behind begins to fade

Whispers on the window
Gone without a trace
By the time you look for me
Well I'll be someplace far away

Too tired to get a job
Thumb out of Abilene

I still can't believe you're really here wrapped up in my arms
I've waited so long just to hold you near
And tell you all the feelings I have for you
The reason that I want you and I want you to know

Wherever you go, whatever the future holds
No matter what tomorrow brings
On earth or the stars, I will be where you are, holding you
Now that I have you here, I'll love you for a thousand years

Baby, even all the time and space couldn't come between us
Couldn't separate us from each other
We're meant to be together, I want to spend forever
Forever in your arm

Wherever you go, whatever the future holds
No matter what tomorrow brings
On earth or the stars, I will be where you are, holding you
Now that I have you here, I'll love you for a thousand years

I will be here with you
I will be loving you

Wherever you go, whatever the future holds
No matter what tomorrow brings
On earth or the stars, I will be where you are, holding you, loving you
Now that I have you here, I'll love you for a thousand years

I don't want to wake up
From this dream that I'm in
If I should wake up
I'm afraid it'll end
When I'm with you
Dreams come true
Life is full and so enthralling
I feel like I'm flying,falling
I don't want to wake up

From this dream
Lying beside you
Time standing still
Angels surrounded us
And I pray they always will
In this twilight
Holding you tight
All the world has disappeared
Everything I want is here
I don't want to wake up

From this dream
If a moment
Could be stolen
I would spend a life in prison
If each night my dream was this one
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up

From this dream
I don't want to wake up
From this dream
I don't want to wake up
From this dream
I don't want to wake up
