Before Everything & After

Every night I get down on my knees and pray
And thank the lord above for you each day
I was lost and then I found you
You make my ocean,
You make my sky blue

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me everything
You make me, me

What blessings has the Lord stored up for me
You are the answer to that mystery
I was lost and then I found you
You make my ocean,
You make my sky blue

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me everything
You make me laugh
You make me cry
You make me live
You make me die
You make me, me

Height won't separate us from this love
Depth can't separate from this love

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me everything
You make me, me

These days so few seem to have faith
In the son of man and in his grace
I feel your breath upon my face
As you replace, my broken wings

You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me scream
You make me everything
You make me, me

I need the comfort
That's in your arms
Squeeze and hold me tight
And keep me warm
I need the passion
That's in your heart
Say you'll never leave
And be apart

So don't walk away
Don't turn your back
If you leave today
My whole world would turn black
So don't walk away
Don't change your mind
It's time you took the chance
And put your hand in mine
So don't walk away

I need the glow
Of your darling face
Accept this crown of love
And live in grace
I need the colors
Painted in your mind
Your beauty and your brilliance
So hard to find

So don't walk away
Don't turn your back
If you leave today
My whole world would turn black
So don't walk away
Don't change your mind
It's time you took the chance
And put your hand in mine
So don't walk away

You are my angel
Please don't be afraid
You are my saving grace
My heart's first aid
So don't walk away

So don't walk away
Don't turn your back
If you leave today
My whole world would turn black
So don't walk away
Don't change your mind
It's time you took the chance
And put your hand in mine
So don't walk away

I remember times back in Hollywood
Best friends making music
We were feeling good
The top was always down
And the sun was always shining bright

I remember singing to the radio
On the sunset strip we were driving slow
The top was always down
And the stars were always shining bright

The sun was coming up
When we were laying down
We felt like kings and
We love that town
The sun was coming up
When we were laying low
We felt like kings
We were living our dreams

Everyone was there so we got into the car
Headed out to Vegas
Didn't get very far
The top was always down and
The tire blew a flat that night

We changed the tire then we
Turned right around
Picked up a hitcher on our way into town
The top was always down with
The gas pedal on the ground

The sun was coming up
When we were laying down
We felt like kings and
We love that town
The sun was coming up
When we were laying low
We felt like kings
We were living our dreams

We'll be on the town tonight
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight

We watched the freaks
Fade away in the day
We watched celebrities
Come out to play
The top was always down
And we knew our way around

The sun was coming up
When we were laying down
We felt like kings and
We love that town
The sun was coming up
When we were laying low
We felt like kings
We were living our dreams

The city in our eyes the music in our skulls/souls
We love singing loud to the stereo
Left Coast Punk Rawk that's our scene
Rock and Roll
We're living a dream

The time is near when I won't need this phone
Then we'll stay home alone and watch the twilight zone
We're still young and I know you're afraid
But I don't regret, all the plans we've made

Drive-in movies always make you sleep
You end up copping ZZZ's, in my backseat
I've seen it in your eyes a thousand times
I see you young again; I see the way you shine

You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before
You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before

Read your book while I make some hot tea
I love it when you fall asleep on me
I'm still me and I know you're still you
Together we're in shock, together this is new

You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before
You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before

Sometimes I don't understand how you feel
But surely my love for you is real
You and your bleeding heart won't die in vain
Cause nothing will ever be the same
Nothing will ever be... the same
The same

You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before
You're not alone anymore, and nothing will be like before

I've been everywhere around the world
And finally here tonight
You seem to be the only one
To make me feel alright

I feel good
When I know you're coming down
I feel good
When I know you'll be around

So quit your life
And stay with me
We'll order in and watch TV
We'll paint the house
And wash the car
We'll take a walk
But not too far
So quit your life
And stay with me

New York to Los Angeles
And all the towns between
(After) Miles and hours on the road
You're the best I've seen

I feel good
You're the best friend that I've found
I feel good
When I'm coming back to your town

So quit your life
And stay with me
We'll order in and watch TV
We'll paint the house
And wash the car
We'll take a walk
But not too far
So quit your life
And stay with me

I heard the road
It was calling my name
I walked towards the light
And I ran, towards the flame
After all is said and done
I don't mind saying again
I'll say it's true that I'm in love
With the places that I've been

On the outs, when she don't like you anymore
On the outs, your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs, your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs, when things just don't seem like before

So you wanna get her back now
And you don't really know how
You've tried everything and nothing's working
What would be your first clue?
That she don't really like you
Was it the way she never had much to say?

On the outs, when she don't like you anymore
On the outs, your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs, your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs, when things just don't seem like before

Do you need a sample?
Or maybe an example,
Of true love and forgiveness to get over this?
So take a little time out,
And learn that you can live without
A dead end girlfriend that you put all your faith in

Manipulation's cut your throat and
Now there's blood stains on your coat

On the outs, when she don't like you anymore
On the outs, your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs, your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs, when things just don't seem like befor

Not a lot right now make sense to me
And I won't go quietly
Not a lot right now mwak sense to me
And I won't sit Patiently

I'm gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I'm gonna find you and someway, somewhere, someday

The first day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in you eyes
I miss you already
The first day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in you eyes
I miss you already

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life alone
Where's life taking me?
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life alone
Always traveling

I'm gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I'm gonna find you somehow, someeway, somewhere, someday

The first day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in you eyes
I miss you already
The first day of the rest of our lives
I miss you already
The last time I'll see that look in you eyes
I miss you already

I wanna love my job, I wanna love my life
But most of all, I wanna fall in love.

All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you
Come on over, watch the late show, stay up talking until two

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

I dream of our reunion, makes me crazy just to think
How so very far away you are, my hope begins to sink

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

And it's not okay; I made dinner here for two
And it's not okay; I've got candles lit for you
And it's not okay; I've got your favorite records out
And it's not okay; you should already be in route
Toooo meeeee

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

I want you, I need you...
Everything sucks when you're gone
