Oh My World 03:56
We marinate in lemonade on a humid summer's night Dance among the fireflies and catch them in mid-flight Tumble over backwards and lie down cheek to cheek Oh my world are you the girl God made for me We boldly speak of nothing deep under speckled midnight skies And count the constellations from reflections in our eyes Slowly intertwining our arms down to our feet Oh my world are you the girl God made for me My my, how your warm embrace Turned me into a man of faith You're much too heavenly for God to be just a dream Chest to cheek we fall asleep beneath a cherry moon We both awake to morning rays bleeding through the trees Dust aside the milky way and pick away the leaves I walk you home in wrinkled clothes then linger on your street Thinking oh my world are you the girl God made for me Oh my world are you the girl God made for me

I'm alright if you're ok I've moved on and I've heard you've done the same It's probably best that we stay this way But if you came back I wouldn't complain If you should ever change your mind about giving love a second chance The moment we close our eyes I'm breaking all my current plans Whether it's wrong or right we can turn it on a dime If you should ever choose to change your mind I don't write and you don't write to me I don't call and my phone never rings It's probably best that we don't say a thing But if you spoke up I'd be relieved If you should ever change your mind about giving love a second chance The moment we close our eyes I'm breaking all my current plans Whether it's wrong or right we can turn it on a dime If you should ever choose to change your mind Promise me that if your heart should realign You won't keep it inside If you should ever change your mind about giving love a second chance The moment we close our eyes I'm breaking all my current plans Whether it's wrong or right we can turn it on a dime If you should ever choose to change your mind

Adina 04:13
When you wake up will you question your conscience Regret your decision to love me again When you wake up will you wish I were sleeping to To help make your leaving hurt less in the end Oh Adina, my hearts grown anxious as dawn breaks the darkness and the sun starts its climb Oh Adina, I'm growing impatient waiting for morning to know if you're mine Or, will you wake up and whisper a greeting Dreamily smiling, not moving a bone And will I finally have you right back where I need you Because I've learned without you this house ain't a home Oh Adina, my hearts grown anxious as dawn breaks the darkness and the sun starts its climb Oh Adina, I'm growing impatient waiting for morning to know if you're mine So, when you wake up I'll act like I'm sleeping Faraway dreaming to not cause alarm And if you stay put as light warms the pillow I will be thankful that you're back in my arms I will be thankful that you're back in my arms

I drew a gun to my disorder blew it clear across my shoulder So that I could start all over again And as the buckshot barrel echoed I could hear my woman bellow “Dear God, what have you done you stupid man” She said, “We’re drowning in our debt and can’t afford another loan And if we miss the mortgage we’ll be forced to leave the home How could you take your life away from both your wife and kid Good God, how dare you do just what you did” Free from all the muddled matter I felt lighter than a feather As the angels brought my soul to heaven’s gate But there was not one joyous sound as I approached the hallowed ground And it was clear that Pete would choose a different fate He said, “It’s come to my attention, there are things we must address Like if your wife should stiff the bank then they’ll have to repossess How could you take your life away from both your wife and kid Good God, how dare you do just what you did” I watched all my plans unravel as his fingers graced the gavel I was doomed unless I thought on my feet I promised Peter I’d pay penance, to receive a softer sentence One that doesn’t scorn with devil horns and heat He said, “It’s really not my nature but I’ll grant you one more chance To prove that you are worthy of our Lord and Savior’s hand But, clemency’s revoked if I should hear that you have sinned Go on, just go undo just what you did” I was sent back down to Earth to prove my piety and worth By tilling dirt for all the crops my wife must sow But on the moment I arrived my heart could not believe my eyes For there I stood inside a body not my own Falling on all fours I cursed the lord for being cruel Old Saint Peter placed my soul inside the body of a mule Forever forced to bear the burden of my wife’s unyielding whip Good God, how dare you do just what you did

3 am 03:42
It's 3 am and I'm still out And you're in bed, safe and sound Oh, I wish I had one less round before coming home Got no keys to let me in No excuse for where I've been Looks like the couch for me again One drink became two Then one more came from a gentleman I knew And I should've quit before 4, 5, and 6 Because a woman like you deserves better than this So, do I dare ring the bell Face the tears and tearful yells 'Cause now the porch seems awful swell to me One drink became two Then one more came from a gentleman I knew And I should've quit before 4, 5, and 6 Because a woman like you deserves better than this It's 3 am and I'm outside Growing anxious to run and hide But as I turn something stirs inside...

Though I'm sworn to silence my heart aches to speak Though my face doesn't wear it I'm brittle and weak And it grows harder to hide all I wish to conceal When we've got so much time to kill One kiss is all that I ask But I'm not making one move unless you'll make one back Oh tell me, though it's over Do you wish as well for a moment of closure Now the TV is off and we've run out of words Yet, we wade in the silence to see who speaks first And it drives me crazy and tests all the strength of my will When we've got so much time to kill One kiss is all that I ask But I'm not making one move unless you'll make one back Oh tell me, though it's over Do you wish as well for a moment of closure Put all consequence aside Show me what's really on your mind One kiss is all that I ask But I'm not making one move unless you'll make one back Oh tell me, though it's over Do you wish as well for a moment of closure

You just go your separate way and I'll go mine Sure it might be hard to be alone, but I'm sure I'll be fine And I don't see no reason for any long goodbyes I'll just call on holidays when I'm drunk, knee deep in wine So just call me when you've got time. Hell, I'll be busy too It's not like I'll just be sitting around waiting to hear from you I don't see no reason for any long goodbyes I'll just call on holidays when I'm drunk, knee deep in wine You can tell me everything about that boy who bought a diamond ring And you can cry to me when he treats you bad And I might smile When you turn your head Because you'll be with me After what he said So, you just go your separate way and I'll go mine Sure, it might break my heart to see you leave, but I know I'll be fine I don't see no reason for any long goodbyes I'll just call on holidays when I'm drunk, knee deep in wine
