And I'm ok
Seems I just needed a break
Sat down but now I'm up again
And finding out I'm alone
My friends left me behind
And into another town
Where this boy is not around
And I don't blame them
I'd do the same

And now I'm alone again

So I'll sing along to the only song I've ever known
And I'll sing it out to the lonely ones, oh oh oh
Those days are gone but the nights roll on taking their place
So I'm singing it out to the lonely ones

Hey, let's write the story again
Where I'm your lover and best friend
Pack our backs and we'll leave this old ghost town behind
And into another town
Where this boy is not around
He made the mistake of leaving you

That was mistake number ten

So I'll sing along to the only song I've ever known
And I'll sing it out to the lonely ones, oh oh oh
Those days are gone but the nights roll on taking their place
So I'm singing it out to the lonely ones

Hey, let's write the story again
Where I'm your lover and best friend

So I'll sing along to the only song I've ever known
And I'll sing it out to the lonely ones, oh oh oh
Those days are gone but the nights roll on taking their place
So I'm singing it out to the lonely ones, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Tonight I'm staring at the moonlight
Tonight I'm wondering how this could've felt so right
And I could say it was a good time
But I can hardly say a thing
He's got you right where he wants you
Right where he wants you

He's going outside in the middle of the night with you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
No I'm fine, I can go another time with you
But tell me why would I want to

And will you still be feeling alright
In the morning with the sun creeping through the blinds?
And will you say it was a good time?
And you will you tell him anything?
He's got you right where he wants you
Right where he wants you

He's going outside in the middle of the night with you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
No I'm fine, I can go another time with you
But tell me why would I want to
He's going outside in the middle of the night with you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
No I'm fine, I can go another time with you
But tell me why would I want to

And I've been away for far too long it seems
And this new group of friends is making me, ready again to leave
I'm ready again to leave

He's going outside in the middle of the night with you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
No I'm fine, I can go another time with you
But tell me why would I want to
He's going outside in the middle of the night with you
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
No I'm fine, I can go another time with you
But tell me why would I want to
But tell me why would I want to

This airplane is a ribbon
With a bird at either end
And it's featherlight and floating in the wind
And it seems there's no direction
Gentle push from gentle hands
And I have no way of knowing where I'll land

And I'll take that long drive down
To spend two months in your town
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around

And I've seen a drunken poet
Spilling verses on the bar
I wish I remembered them so beautiful and so dark
And I watched that moment flicker
As they vanished in the air
Right in front of me but he didn't seem to care

And I'll take that long drive down
To spend two months in your town
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around
If you're anything like me
Then you'll pack your bags and leave
Cause you know that you'll be going eventually

And don't say it isn't bad enough
That I'm the only one that cares about this stuff
Cause we both know that I won't go without you
And don't say it wasn't good enough
Cause these lonely couple years have been too rough
And we both know that I won't go without you

And I'll take that long drive down
To spend two months in your town
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around
If you're anything like me
Then you'll pack your bags and leave
Cause you know that you'll be going eventually
Cause you know that you'll be going eventually

And I've been spending too much time in California
Where your feelings change but seasons never do
And in my dream last night I felt a storm was coming
But awoke to sunny skies of baby blue

And I call her up to let her go today
For a moment thought it easier then being away
But through the tangled thread the needle finds a way
And I'm asking her to stay

And I've been spending all my time composing letters
To a girl who lives a thousand miles away
But writing never takes the place of living
And I need her arms, I need her smile again

And she called me up to let me go today
For a moment thought it easier than being away
But through the tangled thread the needle finds a way
And I'm asking her to stay

Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?

This is the easy life
This is the simple life baby
And you maybe just what I
Have always been searching for
A light through an open door darling
But you're guarding it all night

I will whisper a song in your ear
Of the things you've been missing my dear
If you remember the tune
It's all I can do
Just remember I wrote it for you

And I carry an open box
Of rusted and broken locks, slowly
Can you show me where to lie?
Cause I'm tired as I can be
My legs aren't a part of me darling
Let us go then, you and I, through the night

I will whisper a song in your ear
Of the things you've been missing my dear
If you remember the tune
It's all I can do
Just remember I wrote it for you

I will whisper a song in your ear
Of the things you've been missing my dear
If you remember the tune
It's all I can do
Just remember I wrote it for you
Just remember I wrote it for you

And there's a feeling in the morning
that i can get my stomach screams a warning
as my first thoughts are forming in my head
and i can lay between the covers
remember how i loved another
and postpone my slow recovery

but i can fall asleep tonight
if i can make it home by the daylight
when i recall the times that i was left alone
'cause in the glimmer of your eye
i begin to see myself in a different light

And there's a feeling in the morning
that i can get my stomach screams a warning
as my first thoughts are forming in my head
and they say, "whoa, baby, i gotta go...
and i hate to let you know that this way."

but i can fall asleep tonight
if i can make it home by the daylight
when i recall the times that i was left alone
'cause in the glimmer of your eye
i begin to see myself in a different light

but i can fall asleep tonight
if i can make it home by the daylight
when i recall the times that i was left alone
'cause in the glimmer of your eye
i begin to see myself in a different light
whoa, oh oh oh...

A photograph you took sits in the corner of my room
i'd throw it away, but it's too soon to let you go
and i have made my plans
i will erase you from my mind
i only need a little time to let you go

so i'll throw my keys into the basket
and make my way to bed
it's funny how they ritual things
can help to clear your head...
and my attempts at love are not worth speaking of
but, my dear friend, i'll try again...
