Take Your Time | Now Or Never | Best Man | For Corinne
Angel | You Leave Tomorrow | Romance



Take Your Time

I heard you met somebody new
That he can take good care of both of you
They say you guys look so great together
That you really are birds of a feather
I know I'm not supposed to call
But I'm just afraid that you might fall
In love with him just like you did with me
You know how dangerous that can be

So try to take your time
And I'll try to ease my mind
I know that it's none of my concern
You moved on and I got what I deserved
But I'd hate to see you hurt
So please take your time

If you love him already, if you truly do
Then God bless the both of you
You deserve the best of everything
Just keep in mind what tomorrow could bring
And when you hear this song just remember
That im not trying to be your defender
I only know how soon you trust
And there's nothing worse than hurried lust

So try to take your time
And I'll try to ease my mind
I know that it's none of my concern
You moved on and I got what I deserved
But I'd hate to see you hurt
So please take your time

You know I've said I'm sorry
But you're in such a hurry
To repeat things you've done so many times before

So try to take your time
And I'll try to ease my mind
I know that it's none of my concern
You moved on and I got what I deserved
But I'd hate to see you hurt
So please take your time
Please take your time

Now Or Never

It's been three years since high school
And he works in a garage
He wonders about what's out there
Anything but this dead end job
She's been going to night school
But she's been all but enthused
Wondering about where she belongs
And where the time's gone that she's used
Then one night outside his place
She takes his hand, looks in his eyes
Sighs a happy sigh and she says

It's now or never as she's starting up her car
Don't you remember how we ever got this far?
You know it's not forever, but it'll show you who you are
Don't you remember how we ever got this far?

He smiles at her and laughs
Because he knows that she is right
so he goes inside to pack her bags
She's ready to leave tonight
The consequences seem to fade
The further from town they drive
And proving that they could break free
Reminds them that they are alive
And then this night out on the road
He takes the wheel gives her some rest
Stands up to the test and he says

It's now or never as he starts to park the car
Do you remember how we ever got this far?
I love you forever and for all the things you are
Do you remember how we ever gotr this far?

And with the tears in her eyes, she began to realize
All the things she left behind
It meant more than anything, when he gave her the ring
It was him she couldn't leave behind

Now more than ever as they get back in the car
I can remember how it is we got this far
I'll give you forever, hold me now and we can watch the stars
Always remember how it is we got this far
Always remembver how it is we got this far

Best Man

In the beginning
The thrill of new feeling
Filled any gaps between us
No one was winning
But no one was losing
I was the one that you could trust
No idea what we started
But somewhere we parted
And neither one of us could see
What had happened
To a couple of best friends
And what the outcome would be

You've always needed someone like me
To fill that place that no one can see

But I may not be the best man for the job anymore
I may not be the best man for the job anymore

You'd never have hurt me
Thought you didn't deserve me
Your sense of value turned up false
 I've something to tell you
I don't want you to go through
Hearing it from someone else
I havn't been honest
I have to be honest
I've started seeing someone new
The guilt just keeps biulding
So now I am willing
To sacrifice my open wound

You've always needed someone to be
Trapped in that place where I used to be

But I may not be the best man for the job anymore
Oh I may not be the best man for the job anymore

I can't believe it happened this way
I know I hurt you but what can I say
If it hurts you you should take it out on me
Take it out on me right now
Take it out on me right now

Cause I may not be the best man for the job anymore
I may not be the best man for the job anymore
Oh I may not be the best man for the job anymore
I may not be the best man for the job anymore

For Corinne

Your favorite color was always blue
And mine was always red or black
And even though I loved your golden hue
It's faded now, and it won't come back
If I had your talents I'd paint the world
And if you had mine you'd write this song
Or maybe one about a boy and girl
Who fell in love, thinking nothing was wrong

We created a love with no seems and no cracks
And you illustrated while I gave it a soundtrack
And even now while it's becoming our past
We just can't seem
To make this meeting our last

Draw me a picture and I'll write you a letter
To remind us what we're fighting for
Anything to make everything better
And bring us back to where we were before
And now you tell me to tell you goodbye
Something I can't do to someone I love
But you look away whenever I try
So maybe this is it, when push comes to shove

We created a love with no seems and no cracks
And you illustrated while I gave it a soundtrack
And even now while it's becoming our past
We just cant seem
To make this meeting our last

We watched the sunset
We watched it rise
You watched me singing and I watched your eyes
You watched me living and I watched you try
To just keep on loving while I watched you die

Your favorite color was always blue
And mine was always red or black
And even though I loved your golden hue
It's faded now and it wont come back

We created a love with no seems and no cracks
And you illustrated while I gave it a soundtrack
And even now while it's becoming our past
We just can't seem
No we just can't seem
We just can't seem
To make this meeting our last

Angel

From the moment I saw the sunlight on your face
You beautiful girl, you made my heart race

You were all I wanted

I went on without even knowing your name
And unfortunately you did the same

You were all I wanted

And I don't think you'll ever know how I feel
You don't know you're amazing, that's your appeal
I'll just watch you be perfect, sounds to me like a deal
How could an angel like you ever be real?

You happened to be a friend of someone I knew
So he broke the ice and I still didn't know what to do

You were all I wanted

It's half that I'm shy and half that you're out of my league
I only said hi but I found enough courage to speak

You were all i wanted

I know that you were sent from heaven above
And I dont want to ruin that by chasing your love
So for now it's a secret I know I can keep
And it seems like a dream, what I mean is you see
Everybody needs an angel
You could be my angel
Oh everybody needs an angel

And I dont think you'll ever know how I feel
You don't know you're amazing, that's your appeal
I'll just watch you be perfect, sounds to me like a deal
How could an angel like you ever be real?

You Leave Tomorrow

The sun came up today
Just to shine on the spot where you lay
I know that I won't ever see that beautiful sight again
I know today will be the last day with my friend
There really is no way
No words to say that could make you stay
You know you have to choose to go with them or stay with me
You know you're stuck between me and your family

Cause you leave tomorrow
As we dream of the things we had planned
And despite all the sorrow
Let's pretend that this isn't the end
Let's treat the rest of tonight
Like the rest of our lives
And we'll try to hold on to forever
Cause you leave tomorrow

Even though something's wrong
We dance close one last time to our song
Our eyes still filled with the tears we cried
And with each step we take
Our eyes dried up from the love that you could never fake
You knew it all along
That you'd have to go before the love was gone
The one chance we took was way more than you could afford
So now the bags you packed are stacked and packed up by the door

Cause you leave tomorrow
As we dream of the things we had planned
And despite all the sorrow
Let's pretend that this isn't the end
Let's treat the rest of tonight
Like the rest of our lives
And we'll try to hold on to forever
Cause you leave tomorrow

And maybe in the movie
In the end you wouldn't go
But when the sun comes up again
We're just friends
So we'll fall asleep together
And dream about forever
And pretend that this is not the end

You leave tomorrow
As we dream of the things we had planned
And despite all the sorrow
Let's pretend that this isn't the end
Let's treat the rest of tonight
Like the rest of our lives
And we'll try to hold on to forever
Cause you leave tomorrow
You leave tomorrow

Romance

So you say that you miss the romance
And you think that you missed your chance
You know that you broke my heart
And you know that I wouldn't start to break yours too
Yesterday you saw me waiting
Underneath this disguise that's fading
I try to forget your face
And I moved out of our old place
But hey, who knew
I would still love you

Oh I can't forget you
But I can forgive you
After all you weren't wrong, I've known that all along
In retrospect I guess that you were the best
So come home to me

I know that it's a tough request
But maybe since we've tried the rest
We could find a more common ground
Maybe a second time around is all we need
You have ways of forgetting dreams
But you seem to remember me
You did make some big mistakes
But some things can't be replaced
Well think again
Would you think again?

Cause I can't forget you
But I can forgive you
After all you weren't wrong
I've known that all along
In retrospect I guess that you were the best
So come home to me

It's alright to be afraid
Looking back on the path you've made
But turn around and look at me
Don't use your eyes, use your heart to see
And take this chance with me before it fades

Cause I can't forget you
But I can forgive you
After all you weren't wrong
I've known that all along
In retrospect I guess that you were the best
So come home to me
So you say that you miss the romance
