Adaliz 05:02
Adaliz you were so good to me and I think about you all the time When I'm lonely when I'm cold I still feel your warm breath on me I was wandering the coast line when I met you for the first time Sea reflected off your sun kissed hair and the stardust glimmered in your eyes And I knew that you must be mine When you skated across the ballroom oh well oh well Like a phantom of my imagination And the world is a sea of gray it doesn't want to change But I found color in your eyes Adaliz why can't you stay with me I know its a long shot but its all I've left to say Because I believe we can cross the sea with our love if you just give back the day So please take consideration of my proclamation Because when the world starts turning around the days feel like years The seasons don't change without you here When you skated across the ballroom oh well oh well Like a phantom of my imagination And the world is a sea of gray it doesn't want to change But I found color in your eyes Nothing's perfect in this world of tragedy Nothing's perfect but I want it to be I still remember where I was when you Skated across the ballroom oh well oh well Like a phantom of my imagination And the world is a sea of gray it doesn't want to change But I found color in your eyes Yeah the world is a sea of gray it doesn't want to change it doesn't want to change But I found color in your eyes It didn't work out but I'm not giving up I didn't work out but love's still out there

She's the girl with the big moon eyes and she drives me crazy when she gives that smile She can still break the Richter scale in an old t shirt and her hair in a ponytail Even from the end of the bar she can drive a nail in my heart My heart Expectations versus reality I'm sure will be the death of me I've come so far I want to see but you don't know me you don't know me Reality is breaking me Reality is breaking me Reality is breaking me But you don't know me you don't know me Your sweetness is your best piece of jewelry your heart is the only place I want to stay Just another day just another way just another chance for me to say I'm just a lonely boy and you're such a lovely girl Loveliest girl Expectations versus reality I'm sure will be the death of me I've come so far I want to see but you don't know me you don't know me Reality is breaking me Reality is breaking me Reality is breaking me But you don't know me you don't know me Expectations Reality

Best Thing 04:08
She's as simple as a one word answer Complicated as the universe She looks like a supermodel She is the best thing on this earth She plays soccer like Alex Morgan And skates like Gracie Gold She's sweet as a candy apple She sings like Norah Jones She's all the best things wrapped up into one And she is brighter than the blinding sun If I had one wish that could come true I'd spend every moment with you She watches too many talk shows just like me That come on late at night She tells me all about her dreams And her eyes light up the sky She's done a lot of crazy things Like hit 200 on the Autobahn She's run with the bulls in Spain She's the girl who stole my heart She's all the best things wrapped up into one And she is brighter than the blinding sun If I had one wish that could come true I'd spend every moment with you She's all the best things wrapped up into one And she is brighter than the blinding sun If I had one wish that could come true If I had one wish that could come true If I had one wish that could come true I'd spend every moment with you Because you are the best thing Best thing best thing You are the best thing Best thing best thing

Lead Me Home 05:02
Driving by The Hotel Blue Too poor to stop there even if they had a room So I keep on driving waiting for the morning light But its still hours away all I have is the night I know who you are And you know me It's written in the stars I can't wait until we meet Lead me home lead me home tonight Keep me warm from the chilling wind outside Give me shelter from the pouring rain Lead me home and take away the pain Bronze will turn to gold I'm sure of that someday The path ahead is bold But the future is bright and we both know the way I'll give you red roses That I planted in the sand And I'll put all the pieces Of my heart into your hand Lead me home lead me home tonight Keep me warm from the chilling wind outside Give me shelter from the pouring rain Lead me home and take away the pain The world has bled me dry And I don't know why I'm still alive When I see your face in my dreams I know that you're my saving grace Lead me home lead me home tonight Keep me warm from the chilling wind outside Give me shelter from the pouring rain Lead me home Lead me home and take away the pain Take away the pain because you're my saving grace

Found a girl and loved her Gave her the world Then she pulled a gun on me Left me in the cold Her lips were sweet as honey But oh how they could lie She pulled me in with her tempting ways Now I pay the price But I'm not the only one with a gun at my head There's a pistol behind my back and this is gonna end With one of us dead I gave her my trust She gave me her word How was I to know Beneath the diamond was the rough I don't claim to be an outlaw I've never been to jail But I would take all the punishment To make her go away But I'm not the only one with a gun at my head There's a pistol behind my back and this is gonna end With one of us I don't have to be a circuit judge To condemn you for what you've done You won't cheat no more But I'm not the only one with a gun at my head There's a pistol behind my back and this is gonna end Yeah yeah yeah yeah But I'm not the only one with a gun at my head There's a pistol behind my back and this is gonna end With one of us

The dagger pierces through the skin and burns a hole inside We've all lost more than we can bear But we will not resign Blue coats of freedom carry us home Blue coats of freedom carry me home Its not for nothing that we give our lives Its not for nothing we've got God on our side The snake is hiding in the grass venom in his fangs But the eagle's flying in the sky with vengenence in her veins Give me liberty or give me death Give me liberty or give me death Its not for nothing that we give our lives Its not for nothing we've got God on our side Blue coats of freedom carry us home Blue coats of freedom carry me home Blue coats of freedom carry me home Blue coats of freedom carry us home
