I keep letting go and then grab hold again
I want off this rollercoaster ride
Sometimes I'm invincible for weeks on end
And sometimes I can barely go outside

Today I'm OK
I don't know about tomorrow
But today I'm OK
Tonight I'm alright
Won't be drowning in my sorrows
Cause tonight I'm alright

Sometimes I go running through the words you said
Sorting out what's false and what was real
And sometimes I can recognize our love is dead
And grateful is the only way to feel

Today I'm OK
I don't know about tomorrow
But today I'm OK
Tonight I'm alright
Won't be drowning in my sorrows
Cause tonight I'm alright

And I could never ask for more
(Till the next time I do)
But in this moment I am sure
That through ups and downs
And through hopes and fears
Love is all around me here

Today I'm OK
I don't know about tomorrow
But today I'm OK
Tonight I'm alright
Won't be drowning in my sorrows
Cause tonight I'm alright

They'll find it on the stairs
Politely placed it there
Been so unkind without a hint
A warning sign for them

Read my apology
Their hope of disbelief
But no denial changes things
No remedy ahead

I am not to be martyred
I am not to be worshipped
Did it not to be strong strong strong
I implicate no others in this crime

I'm off on a rocketship
Prepared for something new
I'm off on a rok-it-ship
Ecstatic with the view

I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don't have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I'm not what they are

Will gather in my name
The morning will begin
It's all or nothing over there
Is teasing me again

I am not to be martyred
I am not to be worshipped
Did it not to be strong strong strong
I implicate no others in this crime


I'm off on a rocketship
Prepared for something new
I'm off on a rok-it-ship
Ecstatic with the view

I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don't have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I'm not what they are

I am scared of the things upcoming
And I want for the things I don't have
Cannot stand to be one of many
I'm not what they are

This is the song that reminds me of my trucker hat
That I used to wear not to block out the sun
With a John Deere logo and a stain on the back
From where you laid me out flat one look I was done

And all these things mean nothing to me
When I'm with you I've got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
It's easy to see

I'll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

This is the verse about the Parachute pants
That I learned to break dance in and thought I was good
So much for believing the fat guy doesn't win
get the girl in the end I never thought that I could

And all these things mean nothing to me
When I'm with you I've got everything
I could want and I could need
Even God he would agree
You and I were meant to be
It's easy to see

I'll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

I'm not the perfect guy
a little slow but I've
Got perfect timing with you
Take a look around
Outside the in crowd
There ain't nothing we cant do

I'll never go out of style on you
And nothing really feels the way you do
Nothing in the world could ever make me look as good
When you fit me like you do

Did you know I go to sleep and
Leave the lights on
Hoping you'd come by and know
That I was home and still awake

But two years go by and still
My light's on
This is hard for me to say
But it is all that I can take

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

All the times that I spent waiting
Wondering where you are
Always knew the time would come
When I would start to wonder why
Now the time is here
I don't know where you are
So I'll write you one more song
But it's the last time that I'll ever try

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you.

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me

What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word….

"Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word"  Elton John.

I'm not ready to confront
I'd rather cement my words this way
This could be the easy road out
But I'm just not all that happy

So I'm writing all this down
And I'll file it in a drawer someday
In lieu of a conversation
We'd probably forget to have anyway

I won't hold anything back
And I won't hold anything in
Feel like I know where this is going
And I might know how it ends
But I'm still willing to begin

You should know my story by now
And why I'm optimistic cautiously
I understand it's not your fault
But I'm not takin' anything back
You still end up with most of me

I expect you to fly from NY to LA
And land on my doorstep
And smile at me and say
It was worth it to see most of me
Do you love most of me?

You're just crossing paths
With the way he left me
I'm not sayin' a word
But I'm watching you quietly
You're gonna have to prove me wrong
Before I know this is right
We don't have to decide tonight

Just wait for me patiently
And you'll get all of me


"Most of Me" ~ Mandy Moore

You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile

I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why the goodtimes never last for very long
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we got going

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

Just once I want to understand
Why it always come back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That we're no good with out the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it

Just once
If we could get to it

Just Once…

The lights are off again
She took me by surprise
She's so sensitive
This shit just happens sometimes
She's my everything
She's my best friend and more
We don't do anything
We didn't do the day before you go
You oughta know
That I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted you to know

Black tears are falling down her face
And I am wrong
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
She's sitting here beside me, and she is gone
Black tears are falling, falling

Remember long ago
Together laughing, loving
Oh so long ago
When we were buying something
Life was simple then
But she's not happy now, and I
Don't feel anything
Her lips are moving
I am mesmerized
By tiny lies
I'm watching as the shapes are drawing slowly from her eyes

Black tears are falling down her face
And I am wrong
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done
She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone
Black tears are falling, falling
Black tears are falling, falling

Losing Lisa
Losing Lisa
Losing Lisa
And there's nothing I can do

Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)

Wow….a year passes and I am posting this once again….*sigh*

What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me

What do I say when it's all over

It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me

What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word….
