01 WHITE DRESS 03:35
She wears a white dress / She sees the light and its saying come back / Shes out the door but she hasnt left yet / And I start be-
lieving her when she says that / The citys gonna save her / Love dont leave her / I know just what shes looking for / Oh but all she
knows is / A picture that keeps fading more / But I cant let it go / Thats why Im telling her / I want to love you more / Than all of
the things you wanted / Than all of the things youre not / You want to have it all / She found it in the city / But the city doesnt talk
/ She wears a gold cross / She sheds her skin but it never comes off / She hears the angels out on the streets at night / As she walks
right by / Oh they sing so softly they sing / Oh.... loves right behind you / Chorus / Than all of the things you wanted / Than all of the
things youre not / She found it in the city / But the city doesnt talk / Oh she floats off / Through a crowded room / She remembers
the rows and rows of houses / And the streetlights going home / Thats why Im telling her / Chorus 2X / Oh.... loves right behind you

02 YOU AND ME 03:36

Hold my gun and watch the door / Pick the lock and cut the phone / Keep your head up love / Aint nobody here can stop us / Grab
the bags when sirens call / Were out the window through the yard / Keep it locked up tight / Aint nobody here can stop us / Baby Ive
had this same dream / Where I wake up wondering / What itd really mean / If the world came running down / If it was... / You and me
against the world / Baby they got us under / But well take whatever we want / If it was you and me against the world / You get the car
/ Ill get the cash / Well take the money and run / Theyll come running through the door / Shattered glass across the floor / Oh they
think they know / But we both know they dont / Oh we did our crime and got away / We stole the gold and made the day / And we
both smile and know they say / Aint nobody here can stop us. / Baby Ive had this same dream / Where I wake up wondering / What
itd really mean / If the world came running down / If it was... / Chorus / Oh I keep waking up / In an empty bed / And its reminding
me of / All the things I should have said / And all we could have had / Chorus

03 SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN 04:43

You wake up every morning looking for your answers / Youre waiting for your sign / Jeremiahs on his way to tell the people / But you
watch him pass you by / You walk the streets at night still looking for your reason / But you dont want to try / You swear the world has
got you backed into a corner / But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight / You swear the light is gonna find you / But it cant find
you when youre waiting all the time / You say.... / Keep my head from going down / Just for a little / Just for a little / And watch my
feet float off the ground / Just for a little / Just for a little / Oh and love if / You can / Hear this sound / Oh just give me / Something
/ Something to believe in now / You spend your days alone still hoping for the truth oh / But all you hear are lies / But no one else is
gonna tell you what to do now / No one else is gonna help you hold the line / Sometimes its hard to keep on living / But youre the
one whos got to know just when its right / Chorus / Love come take me now / Love come take me now / Love come take me now /
Love come take me now / Chorus / Something to believe in
04 FOREVER AND ALWAYS 04:08
Shes sitting at the table / The hours getting later / He was supposed to be here / Shes sure he wouldve called / She waits a little longer /
Theres no one in the driveway / No ones said theyve seen him / Why, is something wrong? / She looks back to the window / Suddenly the
phone rings / A voice says, Somethings happened. / That she should come right now / Her mind goes to December / She thinks of when
he asked her / He bent down on his knee first / And he said... / I want you forever / Forever and always / Through the good and the bad and
the ugly / Well grow old together / Forever and always / She pulls up to the entrance / She walks right to the front desk / They lead through a
million halls / A maze thats never ending / They talk about what happened / But she can barely hear them / She tries to keep a straight face
/ As she walks in the room / She sits by his bedside / Holds his hand too tight / They talk about the kids theyre gonna have / And the good
life / The house on the hillside / Where they would... / Stay / Stay there forever / Chorus / And always remember / Whether rich or for poor or
for better / Well still love each other / Forever and always / Then she gets an idea / And calls in the nurses / Brings up the chaplain / And he
says a couple verses / She borrows some rings / From the couple next door / Everybodys laughing / As the tears fall on the floor / She looks
into his eyes / And she says... / I want you forever / Chorus / And always remember / Whether happy or sad or whatever / Well still love each
other / Forever and always / She finishes the vows but / The beeps are getting too slow / His voice is almost too low / As he says / Ill love
you forever / Forever and always / Please just remember / Even if Im not there / Ill always love you / Forever and always

05 WHAT I KNOW 04:13

I take the car and drive at night / The white stripes blur and ease my mind / When all thats lefts a single line / Instead of this confu-
sion / Im not certain of the way it was / And Im not sure what I could have done / I wonder if itd be enough / To stop her from leaving
/ And I realize / The only thing I know is... / Im in love with someone else. / She said I fell in love with someone else and I / Im
in love with someone and thats all that I know for sure. / I stop the car and close my eyes / I can see her face but it takes awhile /
And it fades in like the morning light / Slow and unfocused / So I go home and / Shes sitting on the kitchen chair / Her suitcase wait-
ing by the stairs / Both worn out from all the years / Ready to let go / And I realize / The only thing thats sure is she said... / Chorus
/ Shes in love with someone else she said / She fell in love with someone else and I / Shes in love with someone and thats all that
I know for sure / And Im on my knees 4X / Yes and I / I realize / The only thing I know is she said... / Chorus 2X

06 AMERICAN SECRETS 06:18

When the sun fell low in the blood red sky / Every house called out as we passed them by / She would grab my hand as the trees leaned
in / Oh Im still racing home from the place Ive been / It was all I knew / I was waiting for the big one / And I stayed forever / American
secrets / Had a dream that was ours that we just didnt know yet / We would drive out through every lonely street / Smelled the truth in her
hair / Felt the world at my feet / But we were just two kids in a beat up car / Oh Im still driving home from the things Ive done / It was
all I knew / I was waiting for the big one / And I stayed forever / Chorus / Had a dream that was ours that was lost in the regrets / We were
caught on the inside / Left it all on that bedside / Give me one more minute with those baby blues. / We pull up / Oh she looks back and
waves as I wait too long / I can picture her room as a light turns on / Im still dancing alone with the way it was 3X / Give me one more 2X
/ Give me one more minute with / My baby / Give me one more 2X / Give me one more minute with / American secrets / Give me one more
2X / Give me one more minute with / Her / Oh she looks back and waves as she slips inside / Every hope in the world in those bright blue
eyes / Im still dancing alone with the way it was / Got my mind made up / And Im coming back for you / I can hear your voice calling
and Ill be there soon / I can see you there / In the bedroom by the stairs / Oh Ive always been running but I dont know where / It took
25 years but I finally see / Not the boy I was / In the car that you saw leave / But Im still not the man that I thought Id be / But when the
trumpets sound / And the good Lord calls my name / Oh Im gonna be with you 2X / It took 25 years but I finally see 3X
07 KISS ME SLOWLY 03:55
Stay with me / Baby stay with me / Tonight dont leave me alone / Walk with me / Come and walk with me / To the edge of all weve
ever known / I can you there with the city lights / 14th floor / Pale blue eyes / I can breathe you in / Two shadows standing by the
bedroom door / No I could not want you more / Than I did right then / As our heads leaned in / Well Im not sure what this is gonna
be / But with my eyes closed all I see / Is the skyline / Through the window / The moon above you / And the streets below / Hold my
breath as youre moving in / Taste your lips and feel your skin / When the time comes / Baby dont run / Just kiss me slowly / Stay with
me / Baby stay with me / Tonight dont leave me alone / She shows me everything she used to know / Picture frames / And country
roads / When the days were long / And the world was small / Oh she stood by as it fell apart / To separate rooms and broken hearts /
But I wont be the one to let you go / Chorus / And its hard to love again / When the only way its been / When the only love you knew
/ Just walked away / If its something that you want / Darling you dont have to run / You dont have to go / Just stay with me / Baby
stay with me / Chorus / Well Im not sure where this is gonna go / But in this moment all I know / Chorus

08 HALFWAY 03:10
Well I know just what it is you want / The way you love and get enough / And then you move on / You play the game of who you need
/ And learn his name and walk away / To find the next one / You say the things youre looking for / Look past me and towards the door
/ But darling did you think I wouldnt know? / I might not be what you want / Im gonna be your halfway / I might not be what you
need / But Im gonna be the way / Im never gonna be the thing you want / Im gonna be your halfway / I might not be what you need
/ But Im gonna be your halfway / Halfway / Ill be your halfway / Halfway / Ill be your halfway / You like to close your eyes at night
/ And picture him and what hell say / And what he looks like / But all I can think is all the dreams in the world / They cant match
up to the real thing / The real thing / Chorus / Im gonna be forever yours. / Dont you dare believe her, no. / Im gonna be forever
yours. / Shes always gonna let you go. / I could stay up / Wait the whole night / But shes never gonna show. / Chorus 2X

09 PHILADELPHIA 07:12
Like a gunshot from miles away / Shes moving in / Like a rainstorm without the clouds / She falls on him / Like a phone call to warn
the news / That never rings / Its the truth before the lies / Its the way she doesnt try / Its the wink before the slight / In Philadelphia
/ They met after work one day / She laughed with him / They drove off their separate ways / Then met for drinks / When he got home
the silent guilt / Was deafening / Chorus / She thought that love was going to fight / She thought that love was gonna take her home /
She thought that love was gonna save her / But love just never showed / We think that love is always watching / We learned that love
was supposed to win / But sometimes its the demons / That are standing in the end / He slips off his worn out suit / And tries to rest
/ Shes a million miles away / Across the bed / She rolls over puts her hand / Across his chest / Chorus
