One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

There’s no religion that could ever save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I’m making
To keep you by my side
And keep you from walking out the door.

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain

I’ll never be your mother’s favorite
Your daddy can’t even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I’d be doing the same thing
Saying there goes my little girl
walking with that troublesome guy

But they’re just afraid of something they can’t understand
Oooh well little darling watch me change their minds
Yea for you I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain

Ooooh Don’t just say
goodbye, don’t just say, goodbye
I’ll pick up these broken pieces ’til I’m bleeding
If that’ll make it right

Cause there’ll be no sunlight
if I lose you, baby
There’ll be no clear skies
if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the sa-a-ame if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain,
rain, rain, rai-ai-ai-ain…

Now you in a corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love, for a second you were here
Now you over there, it’s hard not to stare the way you moving
Your body, like you never had a love, never had a love

When you is just a young’un your looks but so precious
But now you’re grown up, so fly it’s like a blessing
But you can’t have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure

You never credit yourself so when you got older
It’s seems like you came back ten times over
Now you’re sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

See, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
You had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in a corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love, for a second you were here
Now you over there, it’s hard not to stare the way you moving
Your body, like you never had a love, never had a love

You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn’t your fault, wasn’t in your intentions
You the one here talking to me, you don’t wanna listen

But I admire your poppin’ bottles and pimpin’
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping
Baby, so don’t be mad, nobody else trippin’
You seen a lot of crooks and crooks still crook

See, you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love
See, you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love

See I just want you to know that you deserve the best
You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
Yeah, and I want you to know
You’re far from the usual, far from the usual

See, you had a lot of crooks
Tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love

See, you had a lot of moments
That didn’t last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love

See, you had a lot of crooks
Tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out
How to love, how to love

See, you had a lot of moments
That didn’t last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I’ll always love you, I’ll always love you
’Cause I love you

I’m gonna kick my feet up then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody’s gon’ tell me I can’t

I’ll be lounging on the couch just chilling in my Snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
’Cause in my castle I’m the freaking man

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it ’cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
’Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything
Nothing at all, nothing at all

Tomorrow I’ll wake up, do some P90X
Find a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she’s gonna scream out
This is great
(Oh my god, this is great)

Yeah, I might mess around
And get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you’ll just have to wait

Oh yes, I said it, I said it
I said it ’cause I can

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
’Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

No, I ain’t gonna comb my hair
’Cause I ain’t going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I’ll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone
’Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I’ll give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I’m not leaving without you

He said, "Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on"
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for first time and you said to me

Something, something about this place
Something ’bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I

It’s been two years since I let you go
I couldn’t listen to a joke or rock ’n’ roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart

On my birthday you sang me A Heart of Gold
With a guitar humming and no clothes
This time I’m not leaving without you, oh, oh, oh, oh

Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for first time and you said to me

Something, something about this place
Something ’bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about, baby, you and I

You and I, you, you and I
You, you and I, you, you and I, I
You and I, you, you and I
Oh yeah, I’d rather die without you and I

C’mon, put your drinks up

We got a whole lot of money but we still pay rent
’Cause you can’t buy a house in heaven
There’s only three men that I’ma serve my whole life
It’s my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ

Something, something about the chase, six whole years
I’m a New York woman, born to run you down
So have my lipstick all over your face
Something, something about just knowing when it’s right

So put your drinks up for Nebraska
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you

You and I, you, you and I
Baby, I’d rather die without you and I
You and I, you, you and I
Nebraska I’d rather die without you and I

It’s been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I’m back in town
This time I’m not leaving without you

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.
He’s coming home late, yeah, he’s coming home late.
And he’s bringing me a surprise.
His dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.

I’ve waited for a long time.
Yet the slide of my hand is now a quick pulled trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair’s on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Run, run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, run, run, ru- ru- ru- run, ru- run, run, run, run.
[Whistling]

[Chorus x3:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

My hands, they’re strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
And the games you play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here, forever
You and me together, nothing is better

’Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true
And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin’ die, ’cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now that you’ve gone, must be waiting for you
Even now when it’s already over
I can’t help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
’Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin’ die
’Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh

Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me, it isn’t over

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded
That for me, it isn’t over yet

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they’re memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don’t forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

O’Cause I don’t see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there’s no other way
’Cause I’m having the time of my life

The words you sing bring back memories
Of so many days that have gone
I look back and smile at those forgotten miles
And laugh at all that went wrong
What I am is what I want
And I’ll be this way ’til I’m dead and gone

’Cause I don’t see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there’s no other way
’Cause I’m having the time of my life

For me that’s all I need
To live the way, to live the way I please

The life I love is the one I lead
It gets crazy but that’s fine by me

I don’t see the day
When I run all night
But I’ve got to say there’s no other way
’Cause I’m havin’ the time of my life
There’s some things that I can’t make right
And it’s been so long lord since I’ve been home
But I’m having the time of my life
