| I have felt for sure last night that once we said goodbye,
No one else will know these lonely dreams,
No one else will know that part of me.
I'm still driving away, and I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things,
I wont always live not stopping
It was my turn to decide; I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do.
No one else will have me, only you.
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time,
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready, holding on tight:
Don't give away the end, the one thing that stays mine.
Amazing still it seems, I'll be 23.
I won't always love what I'll never have,
I won't always live in my regret.
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time,
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready, holding on tight:
Don't give away the end, the one thing that stays mine. | | |
| I was twenty-one years old when I wrote this song,
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
Time hurries on, and the leaves that are green turn to brown .
And they wither with the wind, and they crumble in your hand.
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl:
I held her close but she faded in the night,
Like a poem I meant to write.
And the leaves that are green turn to brown .
And they wither with the wind, and they crumble in your hand.
I threw a pebble in a brook, and watched the ripples run away,
And they never made a sound, and the leaves that are green turn to brown .
And they wither with the wind, and they crumble in your hand.
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
That's all there is. And the leaves that are green turn to brown. | | |
| Twenty-one and strong as I can be -
I know what freedom means to me,
And I can't give the reason why
I should ever want to die.
Got no cause to be afraid,
Or fear that life will ever fade.
'Cause as I watch the rising sun
I know that we have just begun.
I might spend my life upon the road,
Just tryin' to add to what I know.
Then someday I might settle down,
And all my friends will be around. | | |
| empty and aching and I don't know why... (or maybe I do. and maybe I just won't admit it to myself.) | | |
| Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel,
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small,
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right,
And I wander in the night without direction.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn,
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorry.
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be, and face tomorrow.
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall. | | |
