When the sun shines then the world looks better I'm gonna buy Corvette and go to Los Angeles Head for the strip and get where the action is The weather is hot the girls are so beautiful The weather is hot and anything's possible I feel like nothing's out of reach I've got this feeling I just want to rock before I die Because it's good to be alive She's out of my league and she's totally into me She breathes in my ear and she whispers her fantasy You're getting me hot and you gotta get next to me You're getting me hot and you're screaming in ecstasy It's time for a summer by the beach

Oh when I look into the mirror and I see you there You look so beautiful and I feel strange And I know that you still love me, you won’t understand When I tell you everything’s about to change Listen baby I’m still trying to find the words That have the meaning you deserve Listen baby I just do not feel the same As I felt yesterday And I thought we’d found true love But all the other stuff Real life threw at us We just weren’t enough Listen baby I’ll always wish I could have changed The things that made us end this way Listen baby I feel out of place I’ve got dreams I need to chase And I watch you pace the floor Your lips are bitten raw With a pain I can’t ignore And one foot out the door When I leave I won’t look back If I speak my voice would crack I’ll keep your picture in the glovebox of my car Listen baby There’s not a moment since we met I ever will regret And there’s nothing I can say We don’t feel the same way I thought that we were bulletproof Now it’s time to face the truth You tell me to leave You scream I should go I’m not the man you think you know That’s all I’ll hear when I lie awake tonight Oh when I look into the mirror and I see you there You look so beautiful and I feel fake And I dread the next few minutes that I have to face Knowing that your heart’s about to Break

Stepped into the fire She came to cool me down With a touch as soft as angels She soothed my fevered brow I knew that I could trust her Those were fingers that could never hurt So I put my heart on my sleeve And she tore off my shirt It’s just one lie told Just one time, it’s Just one line, it Isn’t a crime, but now She’s like a stranger Can you hear the sound Hearts will break before they hit the ground Deceit came from her smoothly Rolling off a silver tongue If that lie came so easily I wondered what else she’d done Her words were wrapped in velvet Touched by a higher grace Flew through the skies like butterflies And like bullets through my face She’s like a stranger Can you hear the sound Hearts will break before they hit the ground At the first sign of danger She’s nowhere to be found Hearts will break before they hit the ground Standing in the shadows I looked down just to see The rug that was beneath me Swept from under my feet

Not a Line 03:39
All I want is All I need is you But that won’t do I’ve got to say this So that you’ll believe Even when I think I proved you wrong You show me you were perfect all along You know you make me Look outside myself At someone else You’re nothing like me Somehow we’re the same If you woke and half your gifts were gone You’d still amaze me more than anyone I wanna take you down, take you down Where only you can hear me say That I want you now, want you now And god you were worth the wait Cuz I’ve never felt, never felt Like I feel when you talk to me When I’m by myself, by myself I think of you When I hear your name I start to buzz You know that I’m addicted to that rush
5.
This is only temporary, things will change around here But that’s exactly what I said about the same thing last year There’s a canyon in between me and where I need to be And there are monsters living in it, lying waiting for me So I’m asking What if I’m not enough What if I’m too afraid What if all the dreams that I had are just made to go bad What if I’m not enough What if I fade away What if disappointment has been calling my bluff And I have to face that I’m not enough Opportunity came knocking and I wasn’t prepared And without my even knowing someone’s already there And my dreams are someone else’s and he’s living my life Fulfilling all of my ambitions as he sleeps with my wife And I’m asking What if I can’t be who you need me to be Will you still like me If I try and fail and wind up on the shelf Will I still like myself?
6.
The perfect summer, even rainclouds knew you loved me They split apart so they wouldn’t waste time trying to stop me And when you wrote, every word was a sign You were mine All day dreaming, walking down beside the river Preparing words that would make you like me better And I just knew you were the greatest girl I’d ever find In my mind All I wanna do is get back to the feeling when Things were like they were then All I wanna do is get back to the feeling but That will never happen again I’d walk alone, imagining the conversation You were perfect, at least in my imagination And every time you crossed my mind for a while I’d always smile When I saw you, I found the thing that I’d been missing After that all the other girls stopped existing I couldn’t speak or think of anything else Ask my friends Crashing like a wave, now it’s coming to an end I was dreaming of our children, now you’re calling me a friend You were my imagination, now there’s no way to pretend I was looking for my lover Tell me have you seen her?
