2008

Close my eyes so tight I might not realize you're gone
I tell a million stories like I'm old and she's young
It's cold out here and I, I don't mind
I feel the heat creeping up my spine
But it's alright
It's alright

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

February seems to be the worst of all my friends
She brings in all the darkness when the year, it just begins
But oh it seems so cold at the strangest of times
Loneliness, it seems to be the worst of all her crimes
And I'm alright
It's alright

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

Don't you let me go
I'm only lost
I will let you know
What's going on
You're the reason why I sing this song
O-o-o-oh!

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

I close my eyes, shut 'em up so tight
You ask me why I never sleep at night
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh
I play my cards, never play 'em right
I tell the same old stories, tell 'em over twice
And oh, oh, oh, oh, alright
Oh, oh, oh

2008

I am aching, near breaking
I'm just taking my time to stand in line
For a dance with you, whoa, dance with you, whoa oh
It may not appear, but it's been fully clear
That I'm standing here, fully pleading, near bleeding
Dying, competing, for a chance with you, oh, whoa

Passion tops, time stops, volume drops
You put your face to mine
If I respond, holding you in kind
Baby, I can stay forever in time as I dance with you, you, you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If you stand with my heart in hand
Oh, perfect and, perfect and, perfect and
So unaware of my longing stare
If all I care is a dance with you

Passion tops, time stops, volume drops
You put your face to mine
I respond, holding you in kind
Baby, I could stay forever in time as I dance with you, you, you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I freeze, I feel debris, my hands been seized
My thoughts occur, I close my eyes shut
Knowing it's not you, but there's a chance it's you
For a dance with me, oh, whoa, yeah, whoa-oh-oh

Passion tops, time stops, volume drops
You put your face to mine
I respond, holding you in kind
Baby, I can stay forever in time as I dance with you, you, you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
