You said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said, "That's a lie" Just a boy in a Chevy truck That had a tendency of gettin' stuck On backroads at night And I was right there beside him All summer long And then the time we woke up to find That summer'd gone But And I'm back for the first time since then I'm standin' on your street And there's a letter left on your doorstep And the first thing that you'll read Is when you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song Someday you'll turn your radio on I hope it takes you back to that place When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me Oh, think of me, mmm You said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said, "That's a lie"
CHORUS:
When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness I hope you think that little black dress Think of my head on your chest And my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me September saw a month of tears And thankin' God that you weren't here To see me like that But in a box beneath my bed Is a letter that you never read From three summers back It's hard not to find it all A little bitter sweet And lookin' back on all of that It's nice to believe
[Chorus:]
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on Oh I'm just a girl, Trying to find a place in this world Got the radio on, my old blue jeans And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine Could you tell me what more do I need And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah But that's ok
REPEAT CHORUS
[Repeat Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission But I'm ready to fly

Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows That never knocked me off my feet All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go And baby it's no mystery Why I surrender Boy you got everything

I love your attitude, All your tattoos, Your every thought Your smile, you lips And boy the list goes on and on and on
[Chorus 2:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? Why would you wanna make the very first scar? Why would you wanna break, would you wanna break?

The way you look, the way you laugh, The way you love with all you have, Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive Right now I think you see There ain't nothin' about you That don't do something for me.

Chorus:
You're here Your eyes are looking into mine So baby make me fly My heart has never felt this way before I'm looking through your I'm looking through your eyes I wake up, I'm alive In only a little while, I cry 'Cause you're my lullaby So baby come hold me tight 'cause I, I I wanna be everything you need I wanna be where
(Chorus)
But/cause I'd rather you be mean than love and lie I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know But baby don't you break my heart slow I like the way you'd hold me Every night for so long baby I like the way you'd sing to me Every time that things got rocky I was believing in you Was I mistaken do you say Do you say what you mean When you say our love could last forever

Your beautiful eyes stare right into my eyes And sometimes I think of you late at night I don't know why I wanna be somewhere where you are I wanna be where
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see 'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down Now I don't know what to be without you around
Chorus:
When you feel the world is crashing All around your feet Come running headlong into my arms Breathless I'll never judge you I can only love you Come now running headlong into my arms Breathless Lay down your guns, too weak to run Nothing can harm you here Your precious heart, broken and scarred Somehow you made it through I only ask that you won't go again
chorus
And we know it's never simple, never easy Never a clean break, no one here to save me You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand And I can't breathe Without you, but I have to Breathe Without you, but I have to Never wanted this, never want to see you hurt Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

Breathless
Here you are now, fresh from your wars Back from the edge of time And all that you were, stripped to the bone I thought you d want to know
"I didn't bring her up so they could cut her down I didn't bring her here so they could shut her out I live my whole damn life to see that little girl's smile so why are tears pouring down that sweet face? she wasn't brought up that way" Emily's home late again he sees that boy drive away oh, but something different this time, she doesn't have too much to say she said "he tried but there's just some things I won't do" and through the tears she said "I couldn't do that to you" and he said "I didn't bring you up so he could wear you down take that innocent heart and turn it inside out I live my whole damn life to see my little girl's smile so don't let nobody take that away, you weren't brought up that way" The phone rings on a rainy night says "it's Officer Tate" he said "sir, there's been an accident, you better come down here right away, a drunken driver missed an overpass, and Emily, she's fading fast" he says "God,I didn't bring her up to watch them lay her down nearly killed me the day they put her momma in the ground only thing that kept me alive, was that little girl's smile so please don't take that away, It won't be easy taking her today, she wasn't brought up that way" He stands over the hospital bed Emily opens her eyes

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you Somebody else gets what you wanted again You know it's all the same, another time and place Repeating history and you re getting sick of it But I believe in whatever you do And I'll do anything to see it through
Chorus:
Because these things will change, can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win We'll sing hallelujah! We'll sing hallelujah! Oh So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair We're getting stronger now from things they never found They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared You can walk away and say we don't need this But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this
Repeat chorus
Tonight we standed on our knees To fight for what we worked for all these years And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives Will we stand up champions tonight? It was the night things changed, can you see it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in
You have a way of coming easily to me And when you take, you take the very best of me So I start a fight cause I need to feel something And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted
[Chorus:]
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through I've never been anywhere cold as you You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray And I stood there loving you and wished them all away And you come away with a great little story Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
Chorus:
I'll leave my window open 'Cause I'm too tired at night to call your name But just know I'm right here hopin' That you'll come in with the rain I could stand up and sing you a song But I don't wanna have to go that far And I, I've got you down, I know you by heart And you don't even know where I start Talk to yourself, talk to the tears Talk to the man who put you here And don't wait for the sky to clear
[Repeat Chorus]
You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you (Died for you) Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day Every smile you fake is so condescending Counting all the scars you made And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through I've never been anywhere cold as you
Repeat chorus
I've watched you so long Screamed your name I don't know what else I can say But I'll leave my window open 'Cause I'm too tired at night for all these games Just know I'm right here hopin' That you'll come in with the rain I could go back to every laugh But I don't wanna go there anymore
Diary Of Me
I m a laid back T-shirt, blue jean, mood ring Kinda girl Hey yeah what s the word on you Lay low I m a mission rebel Angel devil little left of the middle Sometimes I get temper mental but
"Cold As You"
Chorus:
here I am an open book Turn the page it s all the rage Get a look on the inside Oh what you get is what you see Baby you hold the key to the diary of me I m poetry, complicated simply stated Hey yeah baby how about you I was born free I m a cell phone hippie Are you with me? When I mess up I don t get up I just get down yeah Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star One without a permanent scar And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing his way through the constellation, hey, hey She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey Now that she's back in the atmosphere I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back to the Milky Way And tell me, did Venus blow your mind Was it everything you wanted to find And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Repeat chorus
It s raining on Sunday There s nothing on TV Yesterday was lonely You re the only one who gets me My mind is like an island Drifting through the ocean I can t stop thinking about you I bet you re thinking of me too Well
Repeat chorus
[Chorus:]
I'm only up when you're not down. Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground. It's like no matter what I do. Well you drive me crazy half the time; the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true. And I'm only me when I'm with you. Just a small town boy and girl livin' in a crazy world. Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true. And I don't try to hide my tears. The secrets or my deepest fears. Through it all nobody gets me like you do. And you know everything about me. You say that you can't live without me.
[Repeat Chorus]
When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself. Only you can tell.
[Chorus:]
That I'm only up when you're not down. Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground. It's like no matter what I do. Well you drive me crazy half the time; the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true. And I'm only me Who I wanna be Well, I'm only me when I'm with you With you Uh huh Yeah
