Lyrics

If I Could
If I could I’d be there right now
Help you make it through somehow
But you’re a plane ride and a long distance call away

And you know life is hard and life is cruel
It knocks you down and it steps on you
A broken heart is something we’ve all faced

I don’t know what I should do
If I should make things up to you
I don’t think I’ll ever change my mind

You know that people change and people grow
You never think that they might know
That sometimes love is all we’ll find

But I never meant to make you cry
No I never meant to make you cry

No I never meant to make you cry
No I never meant to make you cry

If I could I’d be there right now
Help you make it through somehow
But you’re a plane ride and a long distance call away

And you know life is hard and life is cruel
It knocks you down and it steps on you
A broken heart is something we’ve all faced

But I never meant to make you cry
No I never meant to make you cry

Don’t You Worry
I used to like the boys
Who I knew would break my heart in two
I still like lots of boys
But I am starting to really like you

And I’m still giving out my number
Don’t you worry no one calls
I am really starting to wonder
Will I see you? See you in the fall.

I used to drive too fast
Head for the highway with the windows down
I still drive, drive too fast
But you make me want to stick around.

And I’m still giving out my number
Don’t you worry no one calls
I am really starting to wonder
Will I see you? See you in the fall.

I used to drink too much
Stay at the bar ’till they sent me home
I still drink, drink too much
But now I never drink alone

And I’m still giving out my number
Don’t you worry no one calls
I am really starting to wonder
Will I see you? See you in the fall.

I used to like the boys
Who I knew would break my heart in two
I still like lots of boys
But I am starting to really like you
Oh I am starting to really like you
Oh I am starting to really like you

The Fix
I can’t fix what I didn’t break
But I will lie in the bed that you made
It’s not for you to ask to be saved
It’s not for me to save you

Call me up it’ll be alright
And I won’t get too much sleep tonight
I will try, I lose this fight
I can’t help you

I can’t fix what I didn’t break
But I will lie in the bed that you made
It’s not for you to ask to be saved
It’s not for me to save you

Do what you want. It’s your life
I will do what I think is right
I will try, I lose this fight
I can not help you

I can’t fix what I didn’t break
But I will lie in the bed that you made
It’s not for you to ask to be saved
It’s not for me to save you

His Worst Fears
His worst fears realized
He is lying on the table
But he doesn’t close his eyes
No he doesn’t close his eyes

And I wish, I coulda made this easier
And I wish, that I’d been able
But he was just too hurt
And I was too unstable

Oh my sister please don’t cry
Oh please just stop those tears
I’d do anything to see you smile
And laugh despite your fears

And I wish, I coulda made this easier
And I wish, that I’d been able
But he was just too hurt
And I was too unstable

I don’t wonder why
I only wonder why now
I hope that in time
I’ll get over this somehow

And I wish, I coulda made this easier
And I wish, that I’d been able
But he was just too hurt
And I was too unstable

He doesn’t realize
He just lies there on the table
And he doesn’t close his eyes
No he doesn’t close his eyes

The Cat and I
Well I woke up last night
I layed there for a while
And you weren’t by my side
You know it made me smile smile smile

So don’t bother coming home
I like it here alone
The cat and I are happy
Without you

I took all your clothes
And I took all your shoes
And put them in a box
Now it’s time for you to move move move

So don’t bother coming home
I like it here alone
The cat and I are happy
Without you

Well you can see the world
And you can see the moon
And you can see another girl
‘Cause I don’t wanna see you you you

So don’t bother coming home
I like it here alone
The cat and I are happy
Without you

Well I woke up last night
Layed there for a while
And you weren’t by my side
You know it made me smile smile smile

So don’t bother coming home
I like it here alone
The cat and I are happy
Without you

V/C/V
My love for you is like a verse chorus verse
It could be better but it could be worse
And we never took the time to rehearse
My love for you is like a verse chorus verse
My lover for you is a verse chorus verse

My love for you is a Thursday night
It’s not the weekend but it feels alright
And we never kiss but we never fight
My love for you is a Thursday night
My love for you is a Thursday night

My love for you is a two star hotel
The bed is sagging but it doesn’t smell
And we might kiss, but we never tell
My love for you is a two star hotel

My love for you is like a verse chorus verse
It could be better but it could be worse
And we never took the time to rehearse
My love for you is like a verse chorus verse
My lover for you is a verse chorus verse

The Someday Song
Someday honey, when you’re gone
I’ll sit down and I’ll write a song
Then you’ll know I’m moving on
You won’t forget me

And I know that you run around
‘Cause I see you out when I’m on the town
If you’ll pour a shot, well I’ll drink it down
Trying to forget you

All of us are broken (all of us are hurt)
It’s how we fall apart
It just takes a little work sometimes (it just takes some work)
See where all the cracks start

When you hold me in your arms
I forget about all your charms
And though I know that you do me wrong
Trying to forget that

All of us are broken (all of us are hurt)
It’s how we fall apart
It just takes a little work sometimes (it just takes some work)
See where all the cracks start
I see where all your cracks start

And I know that you’re no good for me
But I don’t care
‘Cause this is where I want to be
Yeah this is where I’ve got to be

Someday honey, when you’re gone
I’ll sit down and I’ll write a song
Then you’ll know that I’m moving on
You won’t regret me

For Now
I do the crossword every morning
You make the pancakes, I’ll get the coffee
It’s dark outside and it is raining
It’s going to be another day

Somedays are better than others
These days are like no other

I think the plants could use some water
If you buy cat food, please get the good kind
And don’t forget to call your mother
‘Cause she can’t make it to your birthday

Somedays are better than others
These days are like no other
Please stay, we’ll have each other
For now, it’s all ok
For now, it will be great

Tonight I think we should go dancing
You wear the green shirt and I’ll wear my pink shoes
And I will say that you are handsome
‘Cause I love to see you when you are smiling

Somedays are better than others
These days are like no other
Please stay, we’ll have each other
For now, it’s all ok
For now it will be great

Beer and Pie
The thunderstorms, they passed us by
So we filled up on beer and pie
And didn’t stop to wonder why
And danced ’till we were dripping

Summer’s heading out the door
But we can play a little more
And…… your friend is passed out on the floor
We just keep on dancing

You know I love it
When you give me the eye
Drive me so crazy
You make me want to cry

Jump in the pool to cool ourselves
Stealing whiskey, no one tells
My dress is ruined but oh well
We just keep on dancing

You know I love it
When you give me the eye
You drive me so crazy
You make me want to cry

Bumming smokes from our new friends
Then I think I’ll go to bed
Tomorrow I will curse my head
Say what was I thinking?

You know I love it
When you give me the eye
Drive me so crazy
You make me want to cry

The thunderstorms, they passed us by
So we filled up on beer and pie
And didn’t stop to wonder why
And danced ’til we were dripping.

The Flickering Street Lamp
The flickering street lamp lights up your face
You turn towards me and you smile
It’s getting dark and I know it’s late
But can’t we stay here for awhile.

‘Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
No I’m not ready to go home
And you just can’t leave me standing here
No you just can’t leave me here alone

Well, sleep is for the lonely
And I’ll be there in the end
I’m not asking you to hold me
I’m just asking you to be my friend

‘Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
No I’m not ready to go home
And you just can’t leave me standing here
No you just can’t leave me here alone

I could stay like this forever
And I don’t think that you’d mind
If I was to kiss you
Just this once, just this time

‘Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
No I’m not ready to go home
And you just can’t leave me standing here
No you just can’t leave me here alone

The flickering street lamp lights up your face
You turn towards me and you smile
It’s getting dark and I know it’s late
But can’t we stay here for awhile.

By Myself
You said the world was a better place
‘Cause it had me in it
But my world is a better place
Because you left me in it

By myself
By myself
I’m all by myself
But that’s ok
That’s ok
I wanted to be here anyway

You won’t stay but you won’t let me go
And I can’t handle the pressure
Of being trapped here in your limbo
So I will make my exit

By myself
By myself
I’m all by myself
But that’s ok
That’s ok
I wanted to be here anyway

You said the world was a better place
Because it had me in it
But my world is a better place
Because you left me in it

By myself
By myself
I’m all by myself
But that’s ok
That’s ok
I wanted to be here anyway

The Words That Say Goodbye
I feel so happy and so warm
Lying here, in your arms
Somewhere between drunk and asleep
But then you get up to leave
And though I tried to make you stay
I only have words to push you away

Well it’s not me and it’s not you
It’s not a phase I’m going through
I wish that you could understand
That I let things get out of hand
And though I try to make you stay
I only have words to push you away

Well you can stay or you can go
It’s pretty clear now that we both know
That you are never really here
I’ve watched you slowly dissapear
And though I tried to make you stay
I only had words to push you away

I feel so happy and so warm
Lying here, in your arms
Somewhere between drunk and asleep
But then you get up to leave
And though I’ve tried to make you stay
I only have words to push you away
