Everyday, Everyday

Take time
Don't lose yourself today, no
Make time
to let yourself slip away, now

And everyday that I follow
I try to realize
I'm doing what I have to 
just to try to get by
And everyday that I swallow
another ounce of pride
I come home to my doorstep
And go back to my life
And everyday, everyday

It's night time
So go drink words with all your friends yeah
It's a great time
for you to show love to the world yeah

It's no use crying or throwing your tantrums
The ladies want a nice gentleman who looks handsome
Put a feather in your cap, step back
tilt your bottle back, love your bartender
Remember that.

There's no time for fightin
or cell phone drama, there's only time for lovin one another

If you agree throw your drink up with me
Here's a toast to tonight 
when everything went right.

And everyday that I follow
I try to realize
I'm doing what I have to 
just to try to get by
And everyday that I swallow
another ounce of pride
I come home to my doorstep
And go back to my life
And everyday, everyday.

You Know That I Know

I've been holding back for way too long
Cause in my heart I have a song to sing
Oh I'm gonna sing
The worlds not falling, you're not getting trampled on
It's just my foot steps on your lawn
I've come to say
We're gonna be okay

Cause when the rain falls I'm gonna cover you
You'll never get anything less then the truth 
from me, from me

Would rather tough times together than better apart
We have what we need, what we need is
fine by me, fine by me

The best part is I love your name
As common as it is, it's not the same
Cause girl you're not like anyone I know
The best is when you say my name
No other girl has ever said it the same
And I know that you know from the look on my face
And you know that I know

It all comes down to what you think
And what you feel and if it's real
And if not, you gotta let it go

But baby I'm the one for you
The one that you come runnin to
The shoulder for your smiles and your tears

And baby I want all of you
The good, the bad, we'll see it through
And I can't wait to give you all of my years

The best part is I love your name
As common as it is, it's not the same
Cause girl you're not like anyone I know
The best is when you say my name
No other girl has ever said it the same
And I know that you know from the look on my face
And you know that I know

We've only just begun
The best is yet to come
Just know that I'm sincere when I say
"I'll always be right here"

The best part is I love your name
As common as it is, it's not the same
Cause girl you're not like anyone I know
The best is when you say my name
No other girl has ever said it the same
And I know that you know from the look on my face
And you know that I know

In With the New

The rain left me here, I was traded for the sun 
in the time passed away.
I fell to the earth in a desperate attempt to be 
the things that you crave.
I trust in you, you trust in me.
Lets hold onto the world, together we.

Faithful, forgotten, you found in me.
Hopeful, brazen, now we are free 
to change for the one,
the one who completes.
Our love is never ending
Just stay the same,
no temperamental breeze. 
Our time apart is ending.

Keep your strength, what you call naive.
Lets you be my everything

Love left you there consumed by the rain.
You were traded for the moon.
Longing for a chance
just to slip away
until you fell into the sun.
I trust in you, you trust in me.
Lets hold onto the world
together we.

Change for the one,
the one who completes.
Our love is never ending.
Just stay the same,
no temperamental breeze.
Our time apart is ending.

Keep your strength, what you call naive
Lets you be my everything.

Meant To Dream

Time has lead me to see,
we all live through our dreams.
An you girl, you were meant for me,
cause i'm still livin my dream.

If you ask me the question I'll make you believe,
cause I've been holding out.
If you tell me your leaving I'll fall to my knees,
cause i've been holding out.
It's time for me to say,
I need you.

Good things are coming to me,
An I wait patiently.
God knows i try to believe,
the way you believe in me.

If you ask me the question i'll make you believe,
cause i've been holding out.
If you tell me your leaving I'll fall to my knees,
cause i've been holding out.
It's time for me to say
I need you.

Time has lead me to see
we all live through our dreams
and you girl, you were meant for me
cause i'm still livin my dream. 

If you ask me the question i'll make you believe,
cause i've been holding out.
If you tell me your leaving i'll fall to my knees,
cause i've been holding out.
It's time for me to say,
I need you.
