One of these days
Or one of these nights
Somehow, some way
You're gonna get this right.
Kill the hours
And burn the light,
You're not gettin' any younger,
Try as you might.
And I know
The things we really want come slow
So don't,
Don't give up after your first go around.
It'll be worth it in the end.
There's no guarantees, but it beats stayin' in bed.
It'll be worth it in the end.
There's work to be done, so dive on in.
Dive on in.
Don't kid yourself.
You've come so far.
Don't sell yourself short
Or forget who you are.
Dry your eyes.
No time for tears.
You gotta take that first step
To conquer your fears.
Don't you know
The things we really want come slow?
So don't,
Don't give up after your second go around.
It'll be worth it in the end.
There's no guarantees, but it beats stayin' in bed.
It'll be worth it in the end.
There's work to be done, so dive on in.
Dive on in.

Make You Mine

I know a girl who's wild and free.
She doesn't want much to do with me.
She carries herself with effortless grace,
A practiced demeanor, and a pretty face.
And you know what?
It works every time.
One of these days
I'm gonna make you mine.
This girl doesn't know the kind of guy I am.
As far as I know she doesn't give a damn.
Give me a chance to prove my love
And I know you'll fit me just like a glove.
So you know what?
It's my time to shine.
Today's the day
I'm gonna make you mine.
That girl I know just moved out of town.
There's not much to do now that she's not around.
But you know what?
It's gonna be fine.
There's still a chance
I can make you mine.
There's always a chance
I can make you mine.

What's this feeling that keeps me up at night?
And sends me reeling when you come into sight?
Girl, you've got that somethin' that gets my blood a-pumpin'.
Oh God, I think I love you.
The way you look, it oughta be a sin.
How else can I explain the state that I'm in?
Girl, you take my breath away and set my heart on fire.
Oh God, I think I love you.
A life with you is my one desire.
Can't quit you, baby, even if I'm fired.
Girl, you're amazing and a dream come true,
But even with these feelings I don't know what to do.
Oh God, I think I love you.
Oh God, I really do.
Oh God, I think I love you.
Oh God, I really do.
Oh God, I think I love you.
Oh God, how 'bout you?

I look good for a man my age,
Full of piss and vinegar and lots of rage.
Lived a full life, so why stop now?
Dyin's not an option 'cause I don't know how.
Nothing will ever kill me.
Nothing will ever kill me.
As much as you might like to see
Nothing will ever kill me.
Life in the fast lane moves too slow.
I made my own lane: it's the entire road.
Everywhere I need to be is everywhere I go.
You're not gonna see me slow down; I'll just explode.
Nothing will ever kill me.
Nothing will ever kill me.
As much as you might like to see
Nothing will ever kill me.
Live each day like it were my last.
When the ship goes down, I'll be tied to the mast.
Don't call the game because I'm having a ball.
Have fun in hell while I outlive you all.
(Because)
Nothing will ever kill me.
Nothing will ever kill me.
As much as you might like to see
Nothing will ever kill me.
Nothing will ever kill me.
Nothing will ever kill me.
As much as you might like to see
Nothing will ever kill me.

You and I made a world of our own,
A little port in a growing storm.
Time and tide you cannot keep at bay,
And I'm sorry that I have to leave this way.
We might not pass this way again.
I hope that's not the case.
If it is,
Thank you for everything, always.
Take my hand and watch over me.
I'm afraid of what's going to be.
So much I still have left to do...
But I'd trade it all for one more day with you.
All the love you gave to me
I couldn't possibly repay.
I can only say,
"Thank you for everything, always."
Flesh and bone, that's all we are.
All alone, like the countless stars.
You made me into something more
When you took me in your heart.
What did you see in a hopeless fool like me?
Don't you cry or else I'll start too.
For everyone, death comes far too soon.
Thankfully, there is no end to love.
As it is below, so it will be above,
And when I reach those pearly gates
I'll put in a good word for you.
I'm forever yours
and thank you for everything, always.
Thank you for everything, always.
Thank you for everything, always.

A crooked beam of like rips through the sky.
The roaring thunder bellows from on high.
We've never seen one like this before.
Black clouds are closing in.
Walk between the raindrops
When the foul winds blow.
Batten down the hatches.
Barricade the doors.
When the storm has broken,
And the sky begins to fall,
Prepare to meet your maker
'cause that's all she wrote.
After the rain the smell is strong and sweet,
As if the whole wide world has been washed clean.
We've weathered storms like this before.
Blue skies are on their way.
Walk between the raindrops
Wherever you may roam
'cause you'll never know
What comes next.
Do the best you can
'cause it's the best you can do
If you wanna make it through
This life.

Lonesome Lovebird

Lonesome lovebird in a cage.
These feelings don't erode with age.
So much to do but not to be.
Can't see the forest for the trees,
But there comes a time
When you've got to fly.
Something inside
Says, "Leave it all behind.
Go find what waits for you."
Somewhere there's a place where you belong.
Somewhere you can finally sing your song.
Lonesome lovebird, it's not too late.
Don't leave you life up to fate.
The hardest step's one you don't take,
A life of fear: the big mistake.
It's a long road, I know,
With its own highs and lows.
You've got to go,
But you're not alone,
Because I'm on your side.
Somewhere there's a place where you belong.
Somewhere you can finally sing your song.
Somewhere there's a place where you belong.
Somewhere you can finally sing your song.
Lonesome lovebird in the sky,
Everything's gonna be alright.

Delta Breeze

When the ol' Delta Breeze
Comes a-blowin' through the trees,
I'll wonder where you'll be
After all this time.
Though I've heard people say,
"Memories aren't far away,"
They're never quite the same
As when you were mine.
And yet,
Still the river flows
On to the sea.
The wind that took
My true love away
One day
Might just blow her back to me.
As the setting sun
Casts its shards on river's run,
Each shimmer holds the light
Of your smile.
But this image of you
Will slowly fade away from view
And I'll have nothing left to do
But cry.
And yet,
Still the river flows
On to the sea.
The wind that took
My true love away
One day
Might just blow her back to me.
Like a stone upon the shore
That time's made smooth and weather-worn,
I'll wait forevermore
For you, my love,
'cause there's nothin' in this Earth
That is equal to the worth
Of the beauty that you brought
Into my life.
And yet,
Still the river flows
On to the sea.
The wind that took
My true love away
One day
Might just blow her back to me.

Perfect Bliss
03:06

Something's got a hold of me
I can't shake the memory
Of the night when we first met
Out upon the balcony.
Below the waves crashed to and fro,
Bathed in night's celestial glow.
That's where you caught my eye
And why I can't say goodbye.
Oh, what a wonderful feeling it is
In the moment before a kiss.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to relive
That moment of perfect bliss.
Then we spent the whole night there
In some guy's house, but we didn't care.
Dancing and drinking and swapping lines,
Following up on subtle signs.
People come, people go
While moments pass and years come slow.
I think about you all the time
And the night our star's aligned.
Oh, what a wonderful feeling it is
In the moment before a kiss.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to relive
That moment of perfect bliss.
There was something there;
Now there's not.
Memories
Are all I've got.
If I knew then
What I know now,
I'd still fall for you
Anyhow.
Oh, what a wonderful feeling it is
In the moment before a kiss.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to relive
That moment of perfect bliss.
That moment of perfect bliss.
That moment of perfect bliss.
