I got these crazy dreams
Where everything is chasing me
I got no place to run or hide
So I get in my car and drive

Do you ever wish things could have been different for a day
Perhaps a day when everything would go your way for a change
Maybe today
Fifty five
Fifty five
Hello Lorenzo

Counting clocks in my head and time slips bye
No words left to be said and wonder why
You're not here with me now, so I wonder when
Our eyes meet again would it need to be said
I need you

Nothing seems the same without you here
And the little things in life don't seem as clear
The smell of your sweet perfume still jumps in my room
So easy on me write these words for you

I wonder if this could be something you and me
Could work out and make it last a while
I want to be something you and me
Could always look back on and smile

As I lay alone I think of times
Like when you laugh with me and it gets me by
Well you're not here with me now, so I wonder when
Our eyes meet again would it need to be said

I wonder if this could be something you and me
Could work out and make it last a while
I want to be something you and me
Could always look back on and smile
Yeah and smile

I want you here
These words so clear
This world don't care
Another day is coming

I want you here
These words so clear
This world don't care
Another day is coming

I want you here
These words so clear
This world don't care
Another day is coming

I want you here
These words so clear
This world don't care
Another day is coming

She carries a tiny man in her pocket
To help her keep things in place
The pitter patter on the windowsill
Sunrise, sunset, yet she remains the same
Maybe you should get out for a while
Just watch it cus’ you’ll smile
Instead you elect to stay inside
Where the green grass dies and will always cloud your mind
Cloud your mind

I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time

She carries a picture of her best friend
It reminds her of days gone by
She says I pray to Jesus almost every night
But here I sit and wonder why
The big man in the sky don’t change my life
So I play guitar for her
In hopes that maybe it will give her a start
Give her some start

I remember days gone by
When you used to occupy your time
With positive vibes
So when a new dawn comes early
How about you fill up your soul for me
Instead of wasting all your time
Wasting all your time

Yeah you never did
You never did
You never did
Yeah you never did
You never did
You never did
Open up your world to me
Yeah I will sing you happy
I make you light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Well light up
Yeah my love

She carries a tiny man in her pocket
It helps her keep things in place

I'm tired I'm tired of all these games
The games they play when they think it's ok
Ready or not here I come this hide and seek it isn't fun...yeah

All we needed was some time
To breathe
All we needed was some time
To see

Hey there Mr. Nice guy can you spare a penny or two
See I lost my job and I've got nothing to do
So I walk these streets, I'll beg through this town
And I hope to God it changes soon because I'm going down
I'm going down

All we needed was some time
To breathe
All we needed was some time
To see

I'm running away
Cus' I wanted to yesterday
I'm running away
Right back to you

Here I am with my arms open wide
I open the door and I walk inside but there's
No one there for my blue eyes to see
Cus' everyone ran away from my dream
My dream

Yeah run in, run in, run out
run in, run in, run out
Yeah run in, run in, run out
Yeah run in, run in, run out

Here I sit with my legs crossed and wonder why
The world spins around my head from time to time
The best of both worlds seems attainable through my eyes
But sometimes confusion steps in to block the light
Inquiring minds would like to know what takes my time
Just thinking back on days that's past me by
Do you ever wonder why the sun doesn't fall from the sky
And if it did would the world still spin inside my mind

Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your mind
Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your eyes

Just walking by this old tree says to me
If we cut this baby down could it tell a great story
Of brave men two hundred years gone by
Farmers with pitchforks that were willing to die
City streets and buildings would rise
And freedom would never die

Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your mind
Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your eyes

Seems like sixteen thousand years have passed us by
But these old trees leaves grow green yet another time
And millions of people may walk on by
And most won't care that this tree tells tells time
Cus they're too tied up in their daily lives
But one day they're gonna realize why this tree tells time
Why this tree tells time
Why this tree tells time

Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your mind
Would you like to see the best of both worlds with me
Just open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

There you go yea I'll watch you fade away
Like butter on a hot knife
There she goes yea she used to sing to me
From her invisible mic
There you go yea I'll watch her fade away
Into the cold, cloudy, May sky
There she goes yea she used to laugh with me
Now it's just a casual hi
Casual hi

Here I am open up
We'll give this thing a shot of love
Instead we'll watch it slip away
Remember what it used to be
As time slips by apparently
You and I aren't meant to be

There she goes yea she used to look up at me
With those pretty brown speckled eyes
There she goes yea she used to walk with me
Down the sandy moon lit beach
There you go yea I'll watch you fade away
But this songs about to play

Here I am open up
We'll give this thing a shot of love
Instead we'll watch it slip away
Remember what it used to be
As time slips by apparently
You and I aren't meant to be

Kristen is a nice girl always making my world
Something really bigger, something really better when it's not
Kristen is a nice girl always making my world
Something really bigger, something really better when it's not
Kristen was a nice girl always made my world
Something really bigger, something really better when it's not
Kristen was a nice girl always made my world
Something really bigger, something really better when it's not
When it's not

Here I am open up
We'll give this thing a shot of love
Instead we'll watch it slip away
How about you dance with me
A bomb of love it would be
But there's no damn way to light it off

Let me tell you what's on my mind
I got this girl with those pretty brown eyes
They are the kind that hypnotize
But they'll only let you carry out what's on her mind

She don't care what you say
She'll tell you what you want to hear
She'll lie to you like the red devil is flowing through her veins
But those brown eyes will say to you
How about you come out and play

Brown eyed girl yea won't you see that
A dozen flowers from me
Is more than you'll ever see
A glass of wine some dinner to and
You'd like to think that she'd like to
Come and dance with me
But in the end you've lost a friend
So carry on until when
Our eyes will meet again and you hypnotize me

Remember the things you said
Like I talked about you to my parents
Or do you remember when you said
If I didn't get to see you I wasn't gonna be able to go to bed


Brown eyed girl yea won't you see that
A dozen flowers from me
Is more than you'll ever see
A glass of wine some dinner to and
You'd like to think that she'd like to
Come and dance with me
But in the end you've lost a friend
So carry on until when
Our eyes will meet again and you hypnotize me

So now that my story is told
Make sure you learn your lesson
For when you grow old
That sometimes the nicest smile
With those pretty brown
Is nothing but the greedy devil
And he's gonna try to hypnotize
She's gonna try to hypnotize
She's gonna try to hypnotize

Late June afternoon with the sun outside
Got the windows down and I'm cruising at 55
Then I look out the window and what do I see
There's a crazy man and he's looking at me
But he says not a word as I drive by
And he fades away into the June sky

Remembering times when it was a simple life
When the biggest question was should I pack or should I buy
But those days have passed us by my friends
But these memories still jump around in my head
If I had a dime for all the times
That these silly dreams made me drive 55

Stupid dreams of time that's gone by
Why can't I kick them out of my life
They cry for ten cents even a penny a soul
But paying for sins will leave a poor man cold

Strange it seems how fast the time slips by
If you owned that special clock would it make you change your life
Or would you let the dreams still steal you away
Make you drive at night just to get away
Then that crazy man who looked me right on by
Would make me realize that was my old life

Late June afternoon with the stars outside

Mr. please can you pour one down for me
Strange faces different places
It's all new to me

Hey there who are you
can you tell me how to get through here
Green bus blue bus
It takes us all around here

Then it came to me as we drank slowly
This place is like no other
So join me please and we'll drink to these
Good nights together
Happy Valley
Happy Valley
