You never ever leave my mind
My sweet sweet Madeline
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I’m alive

And I can barely make a sound
Whenever you’re around
You can find me hiding in the crowd
Next time you come to town
Hey! Hey! I’ve been waitin’ all day!

Every time I want to say hello
Every time I want to stay, I go
Can’t ever find the words to let you know
Sometimes you play my mind a million times

Every time I want to say hello
Every time I want to stay, I go
Can’t ever find the words to let you know
Sometimes you play my mind a million times

Wish I could somehow let you know
That all the way from here to mexico
You’re the one and only girl for me here
Tu Es Un, Bonjour, Oui Oui

And my tongue gets tied so quick
I get so nervous I’m feelin’ sick
And turn into the worlds worst romeo
Every time I try to say hello

You’re so fine, been on my mind
Get so nervous every time I see you hop online

Every time I want to say hello
Every time I want to stay, I go
Can’t ever find the words to let you know
Sometimes you play my mind a million times [x5]

He was a simple boy
He just liked to have fun
He never wanted to be just like his dad was
He was a dreamer but he had never had none
Who made the most of his life
But never had one

He was a single boy
He could never slow down
He always wanted to leave but didn’t know how
He was a dreamer wo seemed to never break ground
Who spent most of his life in a small town
Shake up my life

Let’s go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn’t built up defenses
I’ll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We’ll never take this world unless we make a head on collision

And daddy told her she could never have late night help with her math
So she sits crying by the window
Every time she gets another “A” she makes it another day
And it’s just that simple
Shake up my life

Let’s go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn’t built up defenses
I’ll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We’ll never take this world unless we make a head on collision

Here they come now will you come down
Make ‘em run now onto the next town
Here they come now
Let’s me ‘em run now
No time to fake now
Everything breaks down

Let’s go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn’t built up defenses
I’ll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We’ll never take this world unless we make a head on collision [x2]

Don’t you know that there’s more to this than what we thought
Cause we were never listening
We’ve heard it all before but we missed it
When all we needed was a head on collision [x2]

From underneath I wanted you
To see the first thing that I ever poured my heart into
You’ll never know the pain that I’ve been through
I’m not so sure you’ll ever know
And so I’ll make you understand the words that built my life
Were not from you, but from my father’s hand

Do you remember that cold day in December
Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you
Or take your hand when I need some direction
And I may never know what it’s like to see you smile back at me
Or know you’d be proud of me

From underneath I promise to erase the past
And let my heart forgive the former you
Replace the dark of old and start brand new
I never thought I’d see the day
I walk toward the end of life and turn the other way
I’m reaching out to take my Father’s hand

Do you remember that cold day in December
Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you
Or take your hand when I need some direction
And I may never know what it’s like to see you smile back at me
Or know you’d be proud of me

The sun goes down and then she slips away
It gets so lonely after dark
If only we could relive yesterday
Tomorrow always seems so far

The end is near so much is left to say
The world is getting cold tonight
Traumatized, people are so afraid
I smile cause everything’s alright

Stepping over two steps closer
I sit around wasting time, feel like the poster for a
Self-help line
Will we know the truth when we’re older

For the first time in my whole life
I’m not afraid of feeling alive
For the last time I’m falling behind
And nothing out there will change my mind

Let’s start over crimson clover
While these golden nights get colder

If I could I’d press rewind
Turn on record and leave the past behind
Will we know the truth when we’re older

For the first time in my whole life
I’m not afraid of feeling alive
For the last time I’m falling behind
And nothing out there will change my mind

When you find me will you remind me
We’re one step closer, two steps closer

For the first time in my whole life
I’m not afraid of feeling alive
For the last time I’m falling behind
And nothing out there will change me

For the first time in my whole life
I’m not afraid of feeling alive
For the last time I’m falling behind
And nothing out there will change me

For the first time in my whole life
I’m not afraid of feeling alive
For the last time I’m falling behind
And nothing out there will change my mind

I walk the line, leave it all behind
I’ve been waiting forever
Let’s go back in time when I could read your mind
Still I’ve been waiting
It took the seasons going by to know it’s not my fault

I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

It’s been so long since you’ve been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer, wishing you were there
I’m still waiting

You told me once you’d show up, but I fell for that before
I fell to pieces then I woke up to no one
Just a picture of Jesus and a house left in pieces
It took the seasons going by to know it’s not my fault

I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I want you, I need you, I want to believe you
I want you, I need you, I want to believe you

I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I saw her yesterday
And I never felt a feeling like the one I felt today
And now she’s taking over me
I’ve never met anyone like you
Cause I never could find the words to write you

She’s been on my mind (she’s working overtime)
She’s got perfect reasons
Says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life can be so simple if we’d all just learn to pray

She’s got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I’ll say goodbye to the broken-hearted
And I could never express the way I felt before tonight

She sits there all alone
She’s reading from a chapter that she sometimes calls her own
And now she’s taken over me
This girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams

She’s got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I’ll say goodbye to the broken-hearted
And I could never express the way I felt before tonight

She’s not an ordinary girl
I can see it in her eyes
I’m just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night

She’s been on my mind (she’s working overtime)
She’s got perfect reasons, says she loves to talk to Jesus

And it still feels just like the day it started
So say goodbye to the broken-hearted

God must have heard my prayers last night

Take me as I am
Tell me where you stand
What you’ve done for me is more than I can tell
From a little seed
Tell me what you see
Make me needed

I’m so excited
I can’t hide it
And I’m so happy
When you are with me

You took me as I was
Put me on higher ground
All you’ve done for me is more than I deserve
The reason why I live
The more and more you give
I’m so thankful

We’re here to rock
We dare not stop
The night is young
We’ve just begun

I’m not falling for anymore of these tricks
I’m so tired of everything here
The sun is calling me to the west
Everyone’s having fun out there

My bags are packed as I’m lookin out the window
Everything is so outdated here
I wanna move west to where the sun is shining
I want my friends to all be there

Let’s pack up and move to California
She’s got lots of friends out there
We’ll never get bored cause we can go boardin’
Let’s let the sunshine take us there

I’m tired of taking it slow
So tired but I’m not sleeping
I’m wired about to pick up my board
Cause we’re all heading out for the weekend

Let’s pack up and move to California
Hop on board before we get older
Raise your hands and shout for California
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Let’s pack up and move to California
She’s got lots of friends out there
We’ll never get bored cause we can go boardin’
Let’s let the sunshine take us there
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Let’s pack up and move to California
She’s got lots of friends out there
We’ll never get bored cause we can go boardin’

Raise your hands we’re heading for the border
Come on, come on, come on, come on
