Stunned

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

Kinda Wonderful

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

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

Matching Sweaters
02:16

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
