[No lyrics]

Tonight I find it hard to sleep
each sound and squeak I hear
keeps me staring at the ceiling

Oh it's dark as night outside
and I can't stand
the quiet that it brings me

and I got too much on my mind
I think it's time to take a drive
and leave it all behind

I've got a song that's halfway there
I think it needs the ocean air
I'm gonna grab my guitar
and get in my car

oh, I need some understanding
I need a little love
gonna speed down to the oceanside
in a race with the stars above

with my guitar in hand
My toes twitch in the sand
I can see the sun is coming

courage fill and crack the sky
with purple silver and golden light
drawing the day from night

on the shoreline a fisherman
with the bait on his line and a rod in his hand
is ready to greet the day

he turns around to notice me
and the two of us are patiently
waiting for the sun's rays

Oh, I just need some understanding
and a little love
and somehow I am thinking now
I can get what I've been dreaming of...

but this fisherman is closing in
I think he could be crazy
he says, "would you ride with me, ohhh
I could use the company
I've got a fish to catch
and you have got a song to sing."

his eyes are anchors as the boat would sway
oh would you like to say you have my attention
see I cannot hear to write your song
but you don't have too long
to show me what you're working with

I like to give you just a little somethin'
and you may think it's nothing on first listen
in the time it takes for you to make love,
you can break love
waste love
and throw it all away...

but all you need is faith
and hope will bring a brighter day
and every time you love
let it lift someone else up

if someone tries to burn you
give him your hand and turn and pick him up
when he's all alone

now if you find yourself getting frustrated
try not to get too jaded
or you could go insane, like me

and tell your man you must be crazy
your m.o. is lazy when it comes to love
if every failure and turning tide
I toss the boomerang
but it never comes back to me

so have some faith, you say

and hope will find its way
well I doubt what you're sure of
and it seems to me the greatest of these is love

but it's so hard to love...
we were sitting on his boat
our backs to each other
he was giving me a little time
and all that he said
was hurting my head
wondering how to leave the selfishness behind

all that I could say
is that it's so hard to love...
the way that You want me to

I stepped off the boat and thanked the man
not sure what I was thankful for
when I turned back around to see him again
he was already gone

walking back from the water to my guitar
that's when the light came on
I knew what he was talking about
I know how to finish my song

Ooohh, I just need some understanding,
I need a little love
and I want to sing this song to somebody
who does what they're made of

Oh, we need some understanding
We all need love...

I'm not supposed to miss you
cause you're not coming back.
And I wished I never kissed you
so what do you think of that?

What did I get myself into
when in the back of my mind
there will always be the catch and throw away.
this moment's got me thinking I could reach you
And I'm waking up alone and echo the song sung yesterday.
and begging you to come back home

Cause you're my boomerang.
My repetitious twist of faith.

But unexpectedly this time you don't come back to me,
still you go on and on for someone else.

This back and forth it gets me
going around and round.
And I'm so worn out and dizzy,
while you knock the good ones down.

Now I wanna know the truth do you even miss me?
Cause in the back of my mind I could always feel you push and pull away.

And now I can see that you were leaving me
when your my boomerang.
And I tried so hard to make you stay.

Without a doubt I see this time,
you won't come back to me

So fly, fly, fly, like a bird in the atmosphere,
Glide, glide let the breeze you're feeling take you there.
Fly away from me.

In the back of my mind
There will always be the catch and throw away.
But this time I'll let it fly and not try to reach you.
Cause getting up alone will help me grow my own pair of wings,
and the time has come for me to fly.

Oh boomerang, I'm down to let you go,
cause you're my boomerang.
And the fun we had was all in vain.

But unexpectedly this time you won't come back to me,
Still you go on and on for someone,
go on and on for someone else.

Fly, fly, fly, like a bird in the atmosphere
Glide, glide let the breeze you're feeling take you there.
Ride, ride on the wind that gets you out of here.
Fly away from me.

Is that your song I hear playing?
'Cause I'm feeling it too
Does it take all direction, all control over you?

When you sing do you slip away?
Back to that place in your mind?
Let our love be the one thing you won't leave behind

Rewind and play
Time to go backwards again
I'm moved by the way
All the notes in-time make the melody
Hold me and sway into the moment we share
Where we can stay so attached to the melody

How I long just to hold you
And see you let go as we dance
I know you're reminiscing through our romance
Can you hear the piano?
And the pulse of the drums?
Does the tune and the groove bring you back to our love?
Oh, come and find it Honey

Rewind and play
Time to go backwards again
I'm moved by the way
All the notes in-time make the melody
Night into day
Can we move onward from here?
Where we can stay on and on attached to the memory

Oh, I know you can feel it
Let it take you there

Rewind and play
Time to go backwards again
I'm moved by the way
All the notes in-time make a sweet melody
Night into day
We have been captured again
A new time and place to make a million new memories

I've been dreaming such a long time
And I've been waiting for the sunshine
But all my friends they say I'm getting by
With sleeping in
They say I'm sleeping in
(yeah)

You know whenever I try I want to get it right
But I distract my focus and blur my own sight
Cause I've convinced myself that my best can only come in the moonlight
And I keep sleeping in
I keep on sleeping in
And missing something

(Close your eyes before the daylight breaks)

There are things about me I just can't ignore
I know I want to change and I see that door
On the other side daylight decides there will be war
With sleeping in
Oh, I know they'll be no more sleeping in
(yeah)

I wait, I wait, I wait only in jest
I wait, I wait, I wait with no need to rest
I wait the day, the day, the day will come again
I say a ray of light can only get in if I say
I've been putting off this purification
A rebirth and regeneration inside of me
And I've been saying no for far too long
even though something brand new is coming out of me

I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and then decide
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and make it mine
Rain or shine

I wake, I wake, I wake and greet the day
The light is on, the change is made, I can see my way
The day, the day, this day has come again
Each ray of light will make its way into the core of me
I always knew that I was missing something
I know this time that I will leave nothing up to chance
And in the wake of this brand new day
I see the light and I feel the sun and I'll do it all again
Tomorrow
