Whispered goodbye it was only midnight on a Thursday
So much to say and I said nothing at all
I was distracted by the look in your eyes, I lost myself
I didn't plan on falling for you this weekend
Next thing I know its 4am and I can't sleep
Give me a sign if I am anywhere on your mind
Baby I've been to hell and back but I swear that I can show you the stars
My Friends say I have lost my mind but I tell them you have made me brand new
I hope you never go to sleep unwanted, cause baby yeah I want you for sure
I can say it with the look in my eyes I want so much more
I understand you've got a big old broken heart, but there's really not much I can say or do
Except to promise you that I can make you feel brand new
Baby you've been to hell and back, but I swear that I can show you the stars
Sexiest thing to ever sing but I can make you brand new
Whispered goodbye it was only midnight on a Thursday
So much to say and you bet I said it all
Still too distracted by the look in your eyes to make you brand new

I’ll start by saying how everything has changed
Before you came around my life was all arranged
I just need some time to figure out where I belong
Do you do those things on purpose, make me fall so in love
Or is everything unplanned even those times that our lips touched
Your body drives me crazy when I think what we could be
So give me a sign, should I stay or should I hide
We both know the road ahead is very long
Please don’t put your jacket on, cause we both know that’s when you’re gone
Gone from all the talks, the love, the walks, and us.
I wish we could freeze this moment here in time
I would just go back and miss it down the line
I’ve just never had somebody’s hand fit so well in mine
You make these blankets warm and they’re cold when you are gone
You should stay right here in case Texas decides to freeze
I can’t offer much what you see is what you get, is that enough?
So give me a sign, should I stay or should I hide
We both know the road ahead is very long
Please don’t put your jacket on, cause we both know that’s when you’re gone
Gone from all the talks, the love, the walks, and us, oh and us.
Please don’t put your jacket on, cause we both know that’s when you’re gone
Gone from all the talks, the love, the walks, and us, and us.

Good Looks and Charm

I’m not gonna write one more song for you, after this one, by god it’s true
I’ve broken way too many hearts for you, not just one, and more than two
And you used to have me at the blink of an eye
But now I know that you’re ruining my life
I once was lost but now it’s clear that I’m doing better without you here
Oh, take those good looks and that charm; get the hell out of town
I’m still picking up since the last time you came around
I can’t handle one more second wasted on you
So take this one chance, and take those good looks and charm and get the hell out of town
A promise never meant much to you, you broke it fast and now you lose
And all this time seems like it was a lie, I don’t want this life. Not with you
And you used to have me at the blink of an eye
But now I know that you’re ruining my life
I once was lost but now it’s clear that I’m doing better without you here
Oh, take those good looks and that charm; get the hell out of town
I’m still picking up since the last time you came around
I can’t handle one more second wasted on you
So take this one chance, and take those good looks and charm and get the hell out of town

Just one more pill, that’s all it takes
‘Till you’re on your own in some other place
And I can’t be there to hold your hand
When you’re sober someday you’ll understand
And I just miss the way things used to be
When life could be as easy as you and me
but how things change from going our way
I guess life’s just not the same
And I’m so used now, to living’ this life
But there’s no used now without you by my side
just one more sip, that’s all you have
‘Till you’re on your way to a long white bed.
With the lights in your eyes & people all around
Even with complete silence you can’t hear a sound
but how things change from going our way
I guess life’s just not the same
And I’m so used now, to living’ this life
But there’s no used now without you by my side
Just one more pill, that’s all it takes
‘Till you’re on your own in some other place
And I can’t be there to hold your hand
When you’re sober someday you’ll understand

I cant express all the things that I have seen. I cant even tell you what half of them mean
I cant tell you what ive done with this life, but im going through it with my music and my pride
And I don’t expect you to get on your knees
But ill sit here begging, “please please please”
Before you tell me that theres wood in my eye, take a look at the log you have inside
Ill pick up these broken pieces of me you’ve left all over the place
Then come back a little stronger, and throw it in your face.
All this time, I felt like a fool. Living my life to abide by your rules
Now its time you listen to me, actually, you wont hear a thing from me
Before you tell me that theres wood in my eye, take a look at the log you have inside
Ill pick up these broken pieces of me you’ve left all over the place
Then come back a little stronger, and throw it in your face.

Mama didn’t raise no fool, I can take a hint its cool
You don’t want to see me, I don’t want to see you
Trust me everything’s alright, you don’t have to start a fight
It’s all in my head, who’s been in your bed
Sometimes I sit here watching, waiting for my phone to ring your name
I often wonder if you ever do the same
Oh oh oh
Now’s a good time to admit, I look forward to you losing your shit,
So I can be there showing I care
I try hard not to cross these lines, these invisible friendship lines
You’ve drawn in the sand, but I want to hold your hand
I’d give a thousand dollars just to hear your laugh on repeat
But getting you to fall in love has been no easy feat
Oh oh oh
Mama didn’t raise no fool, I can take a hint its cool.
You found someone new, well good for you
I’m trying hard just to figure out, how I ever did without
Your point of view, so sarcastic and cute
Mama didn’t raise no fool
Mama didn’t raise no fool

Nothing Personal

Have you ever noticed how when someone says no offense it just hurts the most
And lately ive been telling lies to save your pride
I didn’t know that it would take this long, took 6 whole years to finish this one song
And can I say that you were wrong about this one thing
Mama said I was special and your words take that away
You’d bet I feel sorry for you every single day
Now hey, these words just wanna play, in my head
Its no game, its my life, everybodys on my side
And I know you know it hurts, but things cant get much worse
Im in your head, and like you said. Its nothing personal I really just don’t like you
I never guessed that one day my life would be the on game youd play
And all the stupid little mistakes you made Ive gotten passed
You sit here trying to tell me I was wrong and tell me im the reason that youre gone
That’s not fair, I made it clear, im staying strong
Mama said I was special and your words take that away
You’d bet I feel sorry for you every single day
Now hey, these words just wanna play, in my head
Its no game, its my life, everybodys on my side
And I know you know it hurts, but things cant get much worse
Im in your head, and like you said. Its nothing personal I really just don’t like you
Now hey, these words just wanna play, in my head
Its no game, its my life, everybodys on my side
And I know you know it hurts, but things cant get much worse
Im in your head, and like you said. Its nothing personal I really just don’t like you

Perfect by Wednesday

If only my heart was in the right place
Then maybe I could show you all the right face
The face that told you I would always be there
The face you know, the face you always come to
And it never meant so much
To be with you tonight
No it never meant so much
To make sure you’re alright
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you would open up your arms
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you can come to me unarmed
‘Cause these arguments are failed attempts to say 3 simple words
And I love you now as I loved you then
And if you haven’t heard, we’ll be perfect by Wednesday
Two story lines between our hearts
Nothing more than space with the guice of art
Just take my hand and we’ll start filling holes
We’ll build a bridge to a place that no one knows
And it never meant so much
To be with you tonight
No it never meant so much
To make sure you’re alright
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you would open up your arms
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you can come to me unarmed
‘Cause these arguments are failed attempts to say 3 simple words
And I love you now as I loved you then
And if you haven’t heard, we’ll be perfect by Wednesday
I don’t want to waste another moment waiting for you to come
‘Cause all I ever want to do is be with you in your arms
I’m tired of all this waiting, let’s just leave tonight
‘Cause tonight is Tuesday night, and like I said
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you would open up your arms
And I can be perfect by Wednesday
If you can come to me unarmed
‘Cause these arguments are failed attempts to say 3 simple words
And I love you now as I loved you then
And if you haven’t heard, we’ll be perfect by Wednesday
I’ll be perfect by Wednesday

I guess life is just kind of funny like that
one day you'll be gone one day you'll be back
One city to the next, you're such a free man
You say nobody is going to hold you back
You Ain't got kids, you ain't got a single dog
Nobody to greet you nobody to love
There ain't a worry in the world, not a single fear
And that face has never seen a single tear
Well I'm here to tell Ya, that shit wearsyou out
But you're a free man, yeah you're a free man
The only friends you got are Jack and Jim until you can't afford them
Money's gone and you can't afford rent
Oh you're a free man, yeah you're a free man.
Don't let me stand in your
way, hey hey hey, oh mr free man
The only job you've ever had in your life is sleeping with the next door neighbors wife
Until her man came home one Wednesday evening and gave your ass an old fashioned beating
I think you left that day you drove 100 miles
You met me at the coast and tried to make me your wife
You said Russia babe that's where I need to go
I said well sorry boy but it's just too damn cold
Oh yeah I told you, that shit wears you out
But you're a free man, yeah you're a free man
The only friends you got are Jack and Jim until you can't afford them
Money's gone and you can't afford rent
Oh you're a free man, yeah you're a free man. Don't let me stand in your way, hey hey hey, oh mr free man

My old friend he told me just the other day
He said “I love you, do you feel the same way”
And I said “no, you caught me off guard”
But as I sit and think about all the times we shared
All these feeling came up, I thought her never cared
But here I am, found myself at your front door
Im all choked up, I swear I wrote this down, and it said something like:
Redline, redline. You had me with your eyes.
And I just need you to know, I don’t let my feelings show. But ive fallen for you,
I wrote these words for you
Your kiss, your kiss, is unlike any other kiss
I cant even find myself with someone that I miss quite like you.
Is it the same for you?
And I got butterflies around the time you came around
‘Cause your voice is unlike any other sweet sweet sound
But here I am, found myself at your front door
Im all choked up, I swear I wrote this down, and it said something like:
Redline, redline. You had me with your eyes.
And I just need you to know, I don’t let my feelings show. But ive fallen for you,
I wrote these words for you
And I feel like such a fool, saying these words to you
Redline, redline. You had me with your eyes.
And I just need you to know, I don’t let my feelings show. But ive fallen for you,
I wrote these words for you

Next To You

Kissed you for the first time yesterday
My whole world just floated away
To a place, to place just you and me
I’ve been wondering where this moment has been
Lately I’ve been chasin’ time
Back to a place, back to a place that was just you and me
I want you to know, that I’ve always been true
Aint one damn moment, that I regret being with you
Every last word I’ve said, it don’t mean nothing till I’m next to you, until I’m next to you
Every last thing I’ll ever do, it won’t mean nothing till I’m next to you, until I’m next to you
I want to scream I love you at the top of my lungs, but it won’t mean nothing till I’m next to you
I’ve told you everything I could think of
Besides the fact that when I see you every stupid
cliché comes in my mind, and I find those feelings I couldn’t find
I don’t have words to explain
All the thoughts you got going through my brain
Every second that you smile, I feel like melting away
I want you to know, that I’ve always been true
one damn moment, that I regret being with you
Every last word I’ve said, it don’t mean nothing till I’m next to you, until I’m next to you
Every last thing I’ll ever do, it won’t mean nothing till I’m next to you, until I’m next to you
I want to scream I love you at the top of my lungs, but it won’t mean nothing till I’m next to you
