Альбом Mayday Parade

She said, "boy, you better say you're sorry"
Don't think forgiveness will come easy
'Cause it's all that I have to give
And boy, I get the strangest pleasure
Just sitting on these silly roof-tops
And see the lights that go on for miles

And I'm dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I'm dreaming all the time
Won't you be mine?

Amber Lynn, I've got three days to keep away
I've been waiting on that white horse, oh for all these days
Amber Lynn, you've got me all wrong
Sweet love of mine, bring me closer to that Florida line
Amber Lynn won't you be mine
And take me away, tonight

I am stuck between the lines
It just won't come out right
Till I find mine, Till I find mine
Amber Lynn, I won't forget
The simple things you know, you know me best
But I can't seem to find a way in you

Now I'm dreaming all the time
My heart is racing, yeah
I'm dreaming all the time
Won't you be mine?

Amber Lynn, I've got three days to keep away
I've been waiting on that white horse, oh for all these days
Amber Lynn, you've got me all wrong
Sweet love of mine, bring me closer to that Florida line
Amber Lynn won't you be mine
And take me away

Amber Lynn, you've got me wishing for the stars tonight
And I've been messed up, but oh, you got your trust in time
You saved my life, and I don't ever think I'll find the words to say
Amber Lynn, I've got three days to keep away

Amber Lynn, I've got three days to keep away
I've been waiting on that white horse, oh for all those days
Amber Lynn, you've got me all wrong
Sweet love of mine, bring me closer to that Florida line
Amber Lynn won't you be mine
And take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight
Take me away, tonight

I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
I wish you could have seen us
Begging for change to get home
Or at least San Francisco
We put a ten on the high card
And spent a summer on the west coast
You wore that red shirt that I love
I sang the songs that I wrote you
We laughed our way down the beaches
As we danced around the issue

Down and to the left
(Here's a map and a pen, this place, let's point it out)
We can't live four years past
(Still it lasts, still it lasts)

And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
The sunset's never were so bright
And the skies they were so blue
You were looking up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'till I have to

Down and to the left
(Here's a map and a pen, this place, let's point it out)
We can't live four years past
(Still it lasts, still it lasts)

And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
Memories

I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights

Please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
when it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
The sunset's never were so bright
And the skies they were so blue
You were looking up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'till I have to

Down and to the left

I look back to the one and only summertime.
And my girl was the envy of every friend of mine.
She slept safely in my arms.
We were so young and invincible.

Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell.
Those trips in the summer never went so well.
Young love was such dumb love call it what you want it was still enough.

And it's still out of my reach.
And it's still all of the things that I want in my life.
How could I ask you to leave me.

And we were just kids in love.
The summer was full of mistakes.
We wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?

Our breath smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
We'd walk down the beach counting every star.
Our hearts beat inside our chests.
Leaving us gasping for every breath.

Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair.
Was so contagious in the air.
So satisfying and I'm still smiling.

(Chorus x1)

We're falling down (Can we pick up the pieces?)
We're at a all time low (How will we get it back?)
We're falling down (Can we pick up the pieces?)
I'm falling down (Can we pick up the pieces now?)

And we were just kids in love.
The summer was full of mistakes.
We wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us...

(Chorus x 2)

You say that Gainesville's got no soul
Well that sounds like a good excuse for coming home
and this Tallahassee skyline keeps singing out a song
Just know it's your song they've been singing.

So stay
So stay

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then i'll say
That I missed you

And these words
They'll convince you, to stay
I poured through every song I wrote
Every line that I've cried every note that was split with this pen
And every line in every song, they all seemed to come out wrong,
Untill your song

So lets sing it all night long
And this Tallahassee skyline hasnt changed
While the view from every rooftop says to stay

So stay

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away

Ill sing you every song I know convince you to stay
And I could call you baby doll all the time
And youd whisper in my ears youd say i missed you boy

Now sing it over again, and over again, and over again,

And I could call you baby doll all the time
and youd whisper in my ears, youd say i missed you boy

Now sing it over again and over again, and over again

It all goes back to the first kiss
It was the one I thought I'd never miss
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones
Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough

This was supposed to be the easy part
But breaking down is what I found hard
Now I'm wearing this smile that I don't believe in
Inside I feel like screaming

She gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one
But my doubts somehow they sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away

I'm finding out in the hardest way
The consequence of every mistake I've ever made
Baby what's it like to be alone?
(Baby, what's it like to be alone)
I don't want to know, I don't want to know

She gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one
But my doubts somehow they sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away

So baby be honest
Is this what you wanted?
We lost what we started
And found out much more than we want to know
(More than we want to know)
About how we're letting go
(About how we're letting go)

So baby be honest
Is this what you wanted?
We lost what we started
And found out much more than we want to know

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away

By the time I was your age I'd give anything to fall in love truly
was all I could think,
that's when I met your mother
the girl of my dreams,
the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen.
She said boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
"I can't help but notice you staring at me,
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

Now most of the time we'd have too much to drink
and we'd laugh at the stars and share everything.
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
love was a story that couldn't compare.
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
"I made you a present with paper and string,
open with care now, I'm asking you please,
you know that I love you,
will you marry me?"


Now son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things
you'll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God shows you differently.

She said boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
"It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please don't be sad now, I really believe,
you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."

Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.

So don't fall in love there's just too much to lose
if you're given the choice, I'm begging you choose to walk away, walk away,
don't let it get you, I can't bare to see the same happen to you.

Now son, I'm only telling you this, because life can do terrible things.
