Only Dreaming

 

Driving down a dusty road

Torn map on the seat

In my life’s episodes

It’s been a one-way street

 

I was finding my way

I was seizing the day

But I should’ve known

I was only dreaming the day

 

Bestest friends and tree-house days

School-time summer leave

Keeping up the latest craze

Time hardly seemed to breathe

 

Chorus

 

Driving down this dusty road

My past’s in the back

For my life’s episodes

I’ll draw another map

 

I need to know

 

Sunday and the morning after

Wonder if you're thinking of me too

Last night you left your number with me

Now I don't know if I should call you

 

I need to know

Tell me to stay or tell me to go

I need to know

Do you think it can work or do you think I'm a jerk

 

Visions of your friends all laughing

'What did you do?' was the common question asked

I stand here by the phone now wondering

If I call how long will the conversation last

 

 Chorus

 

 Stalker song

 

I was in for trouble I started to fear

You were all eyes looking at my rear

I had to get away but Lord what could I do

I told my friends and they agree

And now you're known as no.3

Since you tried to trap me in the loo

 

You know this song's for you

But you're not one of a kind

I know what to call you

One word Os One word springs to mind. Stalker mind. Stalker

 

Then when you took guitar

I found flowers on my car

But that was not to be my biggest fright

It came when you said calmly

That you had photos-all of me

And lay them on your bed every night

 

Chorus

 

Late on night woke by the phone

I wish that you'd leave me alone

Now I know you really are insane

I spoke with real hostility

But you just kept on calling me

When my girl picked up you never called again

 

Chorus

 

Tonight

 

Night, it's falling fast

Watching the sun sink

I think of you

Feelings I can't hide

 

Say you'll be mine tonight

It's cold outside, you decide

'cause I need you now

I'll be your guiding light

Say you'll be mine tonight

 

Now the time is right

We are not lovers I don't know why

I want you

Tonight

 

Chorus

 

Here you turn my way

Our eyes meet I know you sense it too

 I need you

Tonight

d you

Chorus

 

Miss you now

 

If she was here to see the sky tonight

The stars would light her face

Her smile would shine

I listen to the radio the songs all hers

Words I could never find

 

She is the best part of the day

When we're apart time falls upon it's knees

Over and over, over again

A million times she's heard me say

 

I miss you now

Though our love is older

I miss you now

      I've been thinking it over now

How un-natural it feels to be apart from you

I miss you now

 

On the road again coming home again

I count the miles to get to you

Now I realise when I'm on my own

I'm like the ground without rain

 

Chorus

 

Through all the years all the tears

You stood by me I'd never be alone

When I am I'm half the man

I wanna be

 

Chorus

 

You make me

 

I wasn't really looking

I'd been hurt before so had you

Losing sleep heading for a fall

I fall for you

 

You make me feel awake now

You make me feel I'm never on my own

You make me feel I'm living

You make me feel you've made me

 

 

You need to know my feelings

They've been locked inside deep inside

When you look my way dear

I lose my mind

 

Chorus

 

Without you

Without

What were we thinking of

Allowing ourselves to be alone

What can we do now this has all begun

You're all I'm thinking of

I'm lost and on my own

What can we do now this can't be undone

 

Our eyes are giving us away

Your eyes are begging me to stay

 

When it feels this good how can it be wrong

When our self-control is just not strong

I never wanna go, never wanna be without you

 

 All that I want to do

Is tell the world what we choose to hide

What could they do, would they try to make us bleed

Nothing has felt so real

As the feeling for you locked-up inside

Being with you is all now that I need

 

Our eyes are giving us away

Your eyes are begging me to stay

 

Chorus

 

Our eyes are giving us away

Don't wanna wait another day

 

Chorus

 

When it feels this good how can it be wrong

When our self-control is just not strong

I don't wanna wait another single day without you

Without you
