My dear now look at what you've done
Were you only thinking of number one
You never stop to consider numbers two and three
You never stop to consider your mother and me
Now in a few days
You'll be on a plane flying miles away from me
You're stationed overseas
And now that you've signed the dotted line
Is it really too late to change your mind
You should really think it over if it's not too late
You should really think it over for your own sake
Your mother's a mess
But she'll get it together, now do what's best for you
And maybe this country of ours too
We always knew you'd leave
But we never thought the day would come so soon
It's so hard to believe
That the day has come to live on without you
And we shouldn't ever have to

Would you love me again if I gave it all away
If I told you how I felt about the way you play
You were crazy 'bout me, now you swear that it's through
And that you don't love me, but I still love you
Yeah she needs it
Well she needs you to need her the way that she wants to be needed
A while ago you used to call me nightly on the phone
You were always telling me that we should spend some time alone
B-b-baby you got bad to the bone
Now you don't return my calls, I haven't seen you in a while
And you're working your way up on someone else's speed dial
You probably tell him all the things you told me
Playing hearts like cards - baby you're the queen
If I turn my back now I can walk away
I'd never look back with nothing left to say
Yeah she needs it
Well she needs you to need her the way that she wants to be needed
Well you never were a gambler and I know you hate to lose
So you'll probably want me back as soon as you get the news
That even if you want me now, there's no use
Bye bye baby goodbye

Before We Arrive

I poured resolve in a bottle and drank it up
I saw no need for a cup
When I got to the bottom I grinned at the very last drop
And it told me to wait 'til the minute hand makes it around
Turn it over and upside down
'Til the time reads the same as it did when you decided to let me down
Sunshine...
I scaled you down to a map that's not to size
We plot the lows and the highs
'Til the destination reaches us before we arrive
And we exit to five, four, three, two
Wonder if we're minding the cues
Sunshine...

Along Comes a Smile

I bet you wish now
You'd given yourself twenty extra minutes
Now you wallow in the regrets and stare at the floor
Wishing life had more of you doing less
You're not sure what it's all for
But stop a while
Along comes a smile
Oh what a system
You can't beat them, get up and go to work
Give in like a jerk, give in to get out
You're not sure what it's all for
But stop a while
Along comes a smile

There's no one else like you
It's true
It's really, really, really, really true
My heart belongs to only you
Because you love me the way you do
We'll be sleeping in and traveling
I can't dream a dream a dream and not dream you
It's true
It's really, really, really, really true
I look forward to life where there is you
What a thing to say, but truly my dear I do
We'll buy groceries and have bite to eat
Oh, why live for today, when you can live forever
Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow
I can't think a thought that is not you
It's true It's really, really, really, really true
That is not a thought to misconstrue
Put plainly, all I'll ever want is you
We'll be sleeping in and traveling
Oh, why live for today, when you can live forever
Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow
Line your dreams up in a row and follow them so far, oh
Many things do come and go but love is for tomorrow

I keep trying hard to leave
But you keep pulling at my sleeve
And now I know why
Sun did dance and birds did sing
'Cause leaving you was the greatest thing
And now you know too

Take Me to the Sun

I see a big fat star in the sky
It's got our name written along the side
It seems like things are looking up
I guess it helps when nothing's ever good enough
We built a house on a bad foundation
Now it collapsed into new motivation
Well here it is
We'll let it all hang out
We're getting warmer
It's getting hotter
Now take me to the sun
We're getting louder
We're getting closer
We're ready for the sun
Rain, rain, go away
Come back another day
Rain, rain, go away
Don't come back
I see a big fat star in the sky
It's got our name written along the side
It seems like things are looking up
I guess it helps when nothing's ever good enough
You give it time, it'll give you no guarantees
You give it love, it'll give you false hopes and dreams
Now give it wings, and it'll get you around
We're getting warmer
It's getting hotter
Now take me to the sun

A Different Ship
08:26

You were a man that had it all
Now you've thrown it all away
You let a little of the inside out
Something we weren't ready to see
Pick it up and don't drop it
Hurry up and don't let us down
'Cause if you can bait it, we will bite it
Or at least for now
You saved a dime, spent a dollar
But you'll pay for it all eventually
Collected interest on your interest
In taking it personally
You took a little too much of
Other people's advice but you claimed it was free
Eventually you let a little of the inside out
Something we weren't ready to see
Put your hands in your pockets
Hang your head and leave this town
'Cause you've given the reason your bait's out of season
Mr. Green, don't turn your back around
You sailed away on a different ship
You taught yourself to run
You never learned to hide
Now if you slip
You won't be hard to find
