I should have stolen every moment
Now there's a page with not enough on it
Where we belong
I guess I'll never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it's gone
Cause then it's gone

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love

Give all ya' got like its your last day
your heart and soul before its too late
And pull 'em in
So close enough that they can feel it
With every single breath that you're breathin'
Breathe it in again and again

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Hold on, Hold on
Love who you love
Say that you do
yeah yeah yeah

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Love who you love
yeah yeah

Hold on, keep on holding on
yeah, yeah
With every single breath you're breathing

Love who you love
Love who you love
again and again and again and again

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And it’s not like her to drive that slow, nothings on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I’d see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Why does it have to go from to good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you’re left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I’m gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

It's just another simple voice mail message
I'll pick you up and we'll do dinner by the fire
And we'll just watch it snow
It's from a year ago
Baby I love you and I can't wait to see you tonight
I've been thinking 'bout you all day long
She pushes nine to save
She still can't erase

Cause it makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over she's still in hell
But she tells herself she's ready to let him go
Cause that makes her feel close

It's just a worn out Notre Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad and tried to throw
That thing away at least a hundred times
But she's got it on tonight
He used to wear it on the weekend just running around
Why he forgot he even left it behind
She says it keeps her warm
Oh, but it's so much more

It makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
Cause that makes her feel close

Just sayin' goodbye
Getting on with her life
Maybe give love another try
One more try
One more try

It makes her feel close
Makes her smile it's like he's with her almost
Till the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
Cause that makes her feel close

I miss you so much
Your light, your smile, your way
And everything about us
Though you're gone
Your still here

In my heart
In my tears
Yeah you sure left your mark
We were just getting started

It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough together
But it was long enough
Yeah it was long enough to last forever

Sometimes I get so mad
I scream I swear at this
Cuz this isn't how we planned it

I sit here in a cold room
Praying, waitin' on you
To run back through that door
to the way it was before you left

It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough
Together
But it was long enough
Yeah it was long enough
To last forever

Been Cheated, Defeated
Can't believe that you're are gone
You're gone, You're gone
Oh it was wrong, so wrong

It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough
Noooooooo it wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough together
But it was long enough
Yeah it was long enough to last, to last, to last forever

It wasn't long enough (x3)
No, it wasn't long enough
It wasn't long enough (x3)
It wasn't long enough (x2)

She got the long blond hair, got the red sports car
And you know she's got the top laid back
Se got the movie star smile, got the sun kissed tan
Santa Barbara in summer, yeah, she feels like that

Hey, she's like a canyon drive in a midnight sky
Those eyes are deep enough to get lost
Her legs are palm tree tall, the way she walks
Like the heat on a runway when the cameras go off

She's small town from the country
She ain't big time but she could be

Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen burns
Hey, I bet drivin' down sunset
They're lookin' for a face like hers
Yeah, I've been all around this world
And she'd be California if California was a girl

She's like a red, red wine like a righteous wave
She's a day at the beach in Corona Del Mar
She's never been out there, felt the bright spot light
But she could have her own star on that dreamer's boulevard

I've driven down that coastline
And I've stood there under that big sign

Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen burns
Hey, I bet drivin' down sunset
They're lookin' for a face like hers
Yeah, I've been all around this world
And she'd be California if California was a girl

I'd chase that wild sunset
I'd be gone on my way, way out west
I've been all around this town

Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen

Hey, Hollywood never looked this good
Bright as the big screen burns
Hey, I bet drivin' down sunset
They're lookin' for a face like hers
I've been all around this world
And she'd be California if California was a girl
Now she'd be California, hey, California

She got the long blond hair, got the red sports car
You know she's got the top laid back
Se got the movie star smile, got the sun kissed tan
Santa Barbara in summer, yeah, she feels like that

Yeah yeah yeah..
Hey

So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a rib when you hit the wall
Yeah, you've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset
Hey, it happens to us all

When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it

CHORUS
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable

Love, it wear the ring of stone
Bring you back to being born again
oh, it's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shining on the coast
That never goes dim

When your heart is full of doubt
And you think that there's no way out

CHORUS

Like a river keeps on rolling
Like the north wind blowing
Don't it feel good knowing
Yeah

CHORUS

Love is unstobbale
So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Love, love is unstoppable

Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
He can't see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
5 o'clock, he's the last one out of the gate
And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off, out on the interstate

And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone
Till he hears that little voice holler, "Daddy's home"
Things that matter, things that don't

She's held on to that grudge all her life
And thirty years of anger, since her dad walked out that night
She thinks of all the moments that he's missed
All the birthdays, ballets, first dates, it seems too much to forget

She gets that call that said he don't have long
She walks in, he starts crying, the past is gone
Things that matter, things that don't

Time ain't on our side
Don't wanna leave this world with
"Why didn't I? Why didn't I?"
Yeah, why didn't I?

Sometimes I take on this world by myself
Thinking I got all the answers, don't need anybody's help
Well, God was right there waiting for me all along
To fall down on my knees, surrender all

Things that matter, things that don't
Things that matter, things that don't

Ha ha ha ha ha
It's summer nights, babe!
Woo! Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on ladies, it's time to pop that top
And fellas, I know you're ready to rock
We went crazy cooped all winter long
And school is out, so let's get it on
Flip flop tans and some white sand, I know the perfect spot

Well, the sunset better set soon
So we can get in the mood
Things start getting all heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah

Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
A-come on, oh yeah, yeah

Now fellas, you better watch your step
Don't let them teeny French bikinis make you lose your breath
Back to the ladies, y'all keep doing y'all's thang
'Cause everything about you makes me wanna scream

The sun is getting low, there it goes
Here we go, here comes the moon, yeah
Things start getting all heated up
When it starts getting cool, yeah

Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights

It's a party down in Padre
Big bonfire on the beach
It's Coronas in Daytona y'all
Where it's wild and it's free

Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights
A-come on

Summer nights, everybody, are you with me?
Let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise
Summer nights, everybody's feeling sexy
Holler if you're ready for some summer nights

Yeah, oh, are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
For some summer nights
Yeah baby

Summer nights!
It's summer nights
Come on!

There's a Mountain Dew can with lipstick on it
Rollin' round his truck bed
He just leaves it back there
One of the things he has left of her

When he drives into the late day sun
You can see a set of footprints
He ain't going to clean that windshield
He'd rather just live with the hurt

He's holdin' on to the wheel, to the way she made him feel
To the shifter, to the pictures, every precious moment with her
Like the left behind colors in the sky when the sun is gone
He's holdin' on, oh, he's holdin' on

There's that voice mail on his cell phone, he don't dare erase
She ended with, I love you and he saves it just in case
It might still be true, no, he ain't through

He's holdin' on to the wheel, to the way she made him feel
To the shifter, to the pictures, every precious moment with her
Like the left behind colors in the sky when the sun is gone
He's holdin' on to the past, to the last time he held her
The breath on his neck, the three words she said, oh

He's holdin' on to the wheel, to the way she made him feel
To the shifter, to the pictures, every precious moment with her
He's holdin' on

Yeah, he's holdin' on
(Like the left behind colors in the sky when the sun is gone)
He's holdin' on
(To the shifter, to the pictures, every precious moment with her)
He's holdin' on

Shoulda been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
Shoulda been much better you’d think but I’m not, I’m still stuck, I’m still here, in this rut

Looking back on everything that we had
Holding on to words that we can’t take back
What am I to do with the past, when it’s all that I have, and I can’t get you back

CHORUS
Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I’m so lost, I’m so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go, I’m reminded of us
Where we’ve been, all we’ve done, and all the love that we shared
Once, oh oh oh oh oh once

I remember you sayin’ I was the one, and nothing could change that but you were wrong
It’s funny how life turns on a dime now we don’t even talk I just stare at these walls

And I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I’m so lost, I’m so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I’m reminded of us
Where we’ve been all we’ve done and all the love that we shared
Once, you made the world feel so right
Once, you were my morning noon and night
Why’d we slip away, why did it all change, how will I ever be the same

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I’m so lost I’m so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I’m reminded of us
Where we’ve been all we’ve done and all the love that we shared

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I’m so lost I’m so low and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I’m reminded of us
Where we’ve been all we’ve done and all the love that we shared

Shoulda been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around

It must' a been a place so dark, I couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Around for when you scored the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun

Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song, yeah, yeah

Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts, I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

Oh, why there's no comprehending?
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied and now you're gone and we cried

'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song, your absolutely beautiful song

Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.

Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin' with the hand that they've been given,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.

American Living.

There's a boy and a girl sitting out on a porch swing,
Singing a song that only two hearts in love sing.
Baby, Someday, they're about 80, Still in love,
Would it be that crazy?

Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.

Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin' with the hand that they've been given,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.

There's a mom and a dad,
And they're planting all their seeds,
Everyday working on their dreams,
Just trying to give the best to their kids,
To have a life that they never did.

Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.

Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin' with the hand that they've been given,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.

Yeah, Yeah

Yeah,
Its a mind set,
A never going out of style,
From the concrete jungle,
Even down a country mile.

Hey,
Its a boy and a girl,
Livin' with the hand that they've been given,
Its a day in the life,
Its the music in the rhyme of American Living.
American Living (yeah)
