Camped out all night on the sidewalk

In my mind I'll keep you frozen as a seventeen year old

When the cold hard rain just won't quit

But you're just putting off the pain, nothing's ever gonna really change

Here comes me wishing things had never changed

And I let it all slip away

Football games and leaves a'cracklin'

You might bend 'til you break

I was ready to settle for less than love

Like a kite on a string

Dreaming old dreams, wishing old wishes

It just don't seem so tragic after all

Every time you look at me that way

'Cause you were loving me

Own my mistakes not just pass off all the blame

It hurts my heart to see you cry

And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

I drive myself crazy trying to stay out of my own way

He was a good man

Walked away eyes wide open

Sometimes you've gotta go beyond that pavement

And I, I can barely breathe

I know I should give you up

I need you coming through that door

Every long lost dream

God knows what I'm gonna do

She dreams she's dancing

Come ride with me to the distant shore

I hope you know somebody loves you

And watching you walk away

Maybe it's just I've cried too much

A mountain so high it broke through the sky

It's a brother and a sister kind of thing

Now they wanna kick him out of school

Sunday was a day of rest

But now that you're in my arms

And I know it's a great big world

When you say that I'm one of a kind

There's only one thing I can't live without

And the words I love you never sounded so sincere

Forever's a given

Real close and real slow baby

I was born the day you kissed me

So if I stumble if I fall

Tell me that you live for love

I wanna see it all

She just keeps giving in

It wasn't long enough together

'Til he hears that little voice holler 'daddy's home'

Every precious moment with her

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope

I'm not afraid of moving on

Thought I'd been loved
