  • Every time someone walks through those doors, I hope that it's her. And every time, it isn't.
    Every time the phone rings, I hope that it's her. And every time, it isn't.
    Every time I get a text message, I hope that it's her. And every time, it isn't.
    Every time I get a "comment," I hope that it's her. And every time, it isn't.
    Every time I get an Instant Message, I hope that it's her. And every time, it isn't.

    And that's when I know that it's time to move on.

  • I can tell, I can tell how much you hate this
    And, deep down, inside, you know it's killing me
    I can call, wish you well and try and change this
    But nothing I could say will change anything

    Where were my senses?
    I left them all behind
    Why did I turn away? ... away?

    I wish I could save you
    I wish I could say to you:
    I'm not going nowhere
    I wish I could say to you:
    It's gonna be alright

    Didn't mean, didn't mean to leave you stranded
    Went away 'cause I didn't want to face the truth
    Reaching out, reach for me, empty-handed
    You don't know if I care, you try to find the proof

    There were times I'd wonder:
    Could I have eased your pain?
    Why did I turn away? ...away?

    I wish I could save you
    I wish I could say to you:
    I'm not going nowhere
    I wish I could say to you:
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright

    We can pretend nothing's changed
    Pretend it's all the same
    And there will be no pain tonight
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright
    It's gonna be alright...

  • Love is like free-falling, step off the edge and it begins
    I feel you hesitating, can you trust enough to go all in?

    I don't want half a heart, I want the whole damn thing
    You only let me in so far, then I'm on the outside looking in
    I don't want to fall in love just to have it fall apart
    Don't let it be over before we even start

    I know someone before me left you with scars I can't undo
    But I want to, so I'll spend forever trying
    I promise I'm not just passing through
    And I need to hear the same from you

    Cause I don't want half a heart; I want the whole damn thing
    You only let me in so far then I'm on the outside looking in
    I don't want to fall in love just to have it fall apart
    Don't let it be over before we even start

    And I need to know if we're both going down the same road
    And say you'll come with me 'cause I can't do it all alone

    I don't want half a heart, I want the whole damn thing
    I don't want to fall in love just to have it fall apart
    Don't let it be over baby before we even start


    GOD DAMNIT, CHRIS MANN. THERE YOU GO AGAIN.

  • From time to time I get it all just right
    The world comes back around
    But it turns again until you're out of sight
    And I'm swept on the ground

    You chase a promise down a dead-end street
    A way to fill your world
    You only hunger for what's out of reach
    And you're still an empty girl

    Chris Mann, Why do you do this to me? Why do you make me think about things that I've tried so hard to bury? You need to stop writing lyrics that expose every single detail of my heart.

  • I felt it, the wire touched my neck
    And then someone pulled it tighter
    I never saw it coming
    I started to black out and
    Then someone said good morning
    I took it as a warning
    I should have seen it coming
    So now I'll take a chance on
    This thing we may have started
    Intentional or not I
    Don't think we saw it coming
    It's all adding up to something
    That asks for some involvement
    That asks for a commitment
    I think I see it coming
    If we step out on that limb

    My heartbeat beats me senselessly
    Why's everything got to be so intense with me?
    I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
    In all probability...
    It's a long shot but I say why not
    If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
    It's a long shot just to beat these odds
    The chance is we won't make it
    But I know if I don't take it
    There's no chance

    I realize that there is all this doubting
    Things we're both scared about that
    We'll never see them coming
    Throw caution to the wind and
    We'll see which way it's blowing
    Into this fully knowing
    We'll never see it coming
    Until it's much too close to stop

    My heartbeat beats me senselessly
    Why's everything got to be so intense with me?
    I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
    In all probability...
    It's a long shot but I say why not
    If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
    It's a long shot just to beat these odds
    The chance is we won't make it
    But I know if I don't take it
    There's no chance

    I waited for fact to come of fiction
    And you fit my description
    I never saw you coming
    But we'll make it

    It's a long shot but I say why not
    If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it
    It's a long shot just to beat these odds
    The chance is we won't make it
    But I know if I don't take it
    There's no chance

    I am so glad I let Ann talk me into getting this CD. It is amazing how new music comes into my life at the absolute PERFECT time. This song is just... yeah.
