"Ordinary Day"
Just
a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to
the sky.
And as he ask if i would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking
for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie
right in the palm of your hand?
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt
what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows
mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand,
Live
while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.
Please come
with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?
Just
a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did
he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as i looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with
a deal.
And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of
your hand
Right in the palm of your hand,
Right in the palm of your hand.
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just
tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
"A Thousand Miles"
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces
pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And
I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would
pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
It's always times
like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And
I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
If
I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If
I could
Just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't
want to let this go
I, I
Don't....
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring
blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And
now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A
thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass
me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
"Pretty Baby"
You light me up and then I fall for you
You
lay me down and then I call for you
Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some
for you
Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're
the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be
alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby
And I know things can't last forever
But
there are lessons that you'll never learn
Oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
So how's it you that makes me better
[Chorus]
Why
can't you hold me and never let go
When you touch me it is me that you own
Pretty baby oh the place that you hold in
my heart
Would you break it apart again... oh pretty baby
[Chorus]
Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty
baby, don't you leave me
Pretty baby, why can't you see
Pretty baby, don't you leave me,
Pretty Baby
My Pretty
Baby
My Pretty Baby
Don't you leave me [fade]

"White Houses"
Crashed
on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed
boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause
when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And
she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer is ending
soon
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Maybe
I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were
all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last
It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But
I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white
houses
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more
common than you think
He's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here
again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five
of us
In white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses [x3]
