Daylight fades away again as I'm left here feeling stunned Streetlights flicker on as poor replacements for the sun This fortune comes at such a cost but I would not trade it in Sometimes what you need is just a punch right to the chin Oh, I should be a mess (but I'm not) Used to be familiar now it feels so very strange Have you been carrying all that hate or did something in you change I usually take the high road like I did yesterday But there's two last things I have to tell you before you go away And they are: (1) Goodbye, and (2) I threw your stupid necklace in a river

Why you gotta make me wait, Camila? Why must you hesitate, Camila? I think you know we're meant to be So let's just skip these Formalities Speak to me in Portuguese, Camila You can tell me all your mysteries, Camila That long plane ride from LA It was the best part of my day Yeah I guess that you could say It was kinda wonderful You got what I'm lookin' for, Camila Don't need to look no more, Camila If I'm off base I'm sorry But I think that you and me We could absolutely be Somethin' kinda wonderful

I'm steppin' on pretty flowers just to while away the hours I'm kickin' 'round rusty tin cans, I got no other plans I'm leavin' my cheatin' lover, goin' off to find another I'm burnin' all your dumb letters cause I know that'll really upset ya

Oh, Lord 02:57
Oh, Lord, what shall I do? I knew that this would happen but I didn't want it to My plans will fall apart long before I see them through Oh, Lord, what shall I do? Oh, Lord, when will I feel free? These chains were placed upon me by someone I cannot see The last time I asked, you just said "Eventually" And oh, Lord, when will I feel free? I just can't fight All these demons tonight And I won't try 'Cause I know they won't be denied Oh, Lord, is fate just your game? The light and the shadows affect us the same Praise for the good, for the bad there's no blame Oh, Lord, is fate just your game?

You're finding out what this life's all about There is no easy way to learn Nothing works out, get kicked when your down This thing they call love, oh how it burns If she don't love you now then she probably never will You've had your fun, he's her "number one" Someday she'll go back to him there Don't let her decide, don't let her deny Her past is not your weight to bear If she don't love you now then she probably never will Words whispered true that she won't say to you Those words belong to her old flame Jump on a plane, make your escape Get out of here while you still can If she don't love you now then she probably never will

It's my 31st birthday There's not much more to say I don't really feel golden Or even silver today See, my woman she left me She took all of her things With one small exception Of her wedding ring But surely there's been sadness much deeper than my own And I know that a man should carry on So memories and mirrors mean nothing to me now Tomorrow I won't look back anymore Borders and boundaries Customs and laws They'll kill every dream you have Seemingly without cause You won't achieve nothin' If you follow the rules Please don't let your love slip Into the hands of these fools But surely there's been setbacks much greater than my own And I know that a man should carry on So memories and mirrors mean nothing to me now Tomorrow I won't look back anymore Love don't come easy I'm the first one to say And once it does find you Oh, it never stays But surely there's been heartache more painful than my own And I know that a man should carry on So memories and mirrors mean nothing to me now Tomorrow I won't look back anymore

When we're older if we're still together can we please wear matching sweaters? I just might get myself a metal detector, maybe you'll be a cat collector It could be real nice but we're in no rush so let's just take it day by day It's a long long road but you know you have a home wherever I may be In the meantime I will write you letters, we'll get through this stormy weather We'll look back on this and always remember how these days have made us better It could be real nice but we're in no rush so let's just take it day by day It's a long long road but you know you have a home wherever I may be So I'll slay some dragons and I'll build a castle, we'll live happy ever after It could be real nice but we're in no rush so let's just take it day by day It's a long long road but you know you have a home wherever I may be

My new situation is the latest distraction A feeble attempt to forget about you I know it ain't right but I can't just do nothing I tried that before and all it made me was blue Singin' hey, oh, why can't I let go? I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone It's been two long months since I've heard from you, darlin' But I tell folks you're fine whenever they ask I won't admit to myself that it's over And I'm still not prepared to put you in the past Singin' hey, oh, why can't I let go? I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone I wish our road wasn't as rough I wish we'd've had more luck And I wish I'd had the courage to take A risk and make Our dreams a reality And I wish Like I've wished Like I'll always wish That you were here So I'll send out this song and I'll pray that it finds you Wherever it is that you are now, my dear And if we shall not meet again in this lifetime I'll always hold close to the love you left here Singin' hey, oh, I'll never let go I'll be hangin' on 'til long after you're gone Singin' hey, oh, I'll never let go I know that you're gone but I hope that at least a part of you is hangin' on
