Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...next 12 Exits

I sat and thought the other day how it seems strange
That we could walk through life so blind
And how a lot of people never change.

I'm not trying to say i have the answer
All i know for sure is that we weren't put here
To serve ourselves, that's so selfish
To think that we're put on this earth just for pleasure
I know that there's much more than that.

But i won't tell you what it is; it's up to you
To decide for yourself what is wrong and what is right
And know that we all make mistakes, there's always time
To turn your life around and change
All the wrong decisions that you've made.

And i promise that i won't settle for less.

I won't write it off.

Well i've got a couple things to say about a guy and a girl
They met a few months back at a coffeehouse
He said, "i like that dress that you're wearing
Why don't you just let me take you home tonight?"

I know you've heard it all before
And everyone makes mistakes these days... hey nobody's perfect
But the choices that you make may involve someone else.

Well i met a girl i thought i loved but, unfortunately
I guess i didn't take the time to get to know that girl
Before i made a lot of choices
That i wasn't prepared to make.

If you think you've found that one
That you really love...
Make sure they love you back.

I saw the stars fall from the sky
And watched the tail lights fade away
As the sun began to witness a new day.

I drove five hundred thousand miles
To find a world unlike my own,
And now middle of nowhere seems like my home.

Alone, unknown... yet fearing nothing but ourselves
Could be scarier than any crowded room.
I'm more alone with you than when i'm by myself.

Another night stuck on the vine,
Another low lit memory
Where time will slowly have it's way with me.

We live our lives to expect the worst
But once it happens what is left?
We will never have to be surprised again.

Just you and me not saying much of anything
Sometimes could mean more than a thousand words
Goodbye, farewell to this fucked up world that was my former self.

We never seem to have the time until we waste it
All gone, goodbye...
Think and think alike, never seemed to have the time
Until one day it's all gone, you've thrown it all away.

I'm glad you were a part of my hotel year.

I really wanna call you, but i know that it's not right.
I probably shouldn't tell you but i dreamed of you last night.
I guess i'm not prepared to say...
Goodbye, so long, farewell, i won't be seeing you again
Until next time that he goes away.

You told me that you loved me, i started tearing down those walls.
I really started to trust you but you set me up to take the fall.
I guess i'm not prepared to say...
Goodbye, so long, farewell, i won't be seeing you again
Until next time that he goes away.

I guess that i'm wrong for falling in love,
But you're still the one that i'm dreaming of.
I guess that it's you i want to hold onto,
But you're holding onto someone else.

You're better off without him
Don't call him
He's breaking your heart.

He's hanging with your best friend
And you're waiting there
It's tearing you apart.

He lied to you a thousand times,
When i was there he kept you waiting.

And i'm still here waiting there
To catch you if you fall.
I don't know why i care so much
When i shouldn't care at all.

Finally got the nerve to tell you
How much you mean to me
You said that i was your best friend,
A real sweet guy
But that's all i'd ever be.

A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lot's of feeling that i can't explain.

I won't spend another night alone.

Out of every girl i meet, no other can compete
I'd ditch em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me
But i promise you that you do.

If i had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time with me,
That we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central l.a.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.

The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me.

Last night i had a dream that we went to disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as i held you in my arms.

We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that i'm with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...

These are the things that make me free
I feel like i'm stuck in "stand by me"
This night was too good to be true.

Today i woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
But now i'm stuck debating if i even wanna go.

Whitney, don't you understand that what i say is true?
I just want you to know i have a major crush on you.
I'd drive you to las vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have wayne newton dedicate a song to you.

I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear i'd treat you like a queen.
