THIS COULD BE OUR YEAR I was down to the mast, the last of the pieces Of a ship swallowed up by the sea I was clinging to life Night after night I thought no-one was coming for me I was a slow rainy Monday A grey lonely subway A one bedroom too small to share A life so diluted A heart so polluted Waiting for someone to care (CHORUS) But now it's all fallen into place It's all coming together We never lost faith Never said never Now everything we've been waiting for Is finally here This could be our year All this talk about timing And planets aligning Is starting to make sense to me And though I can't quite explain it Other than saying We're right where we're both meant to be (CHORUS) But now it's all fallen into place It's all coming together We never lost faith Never said never Now everything we've been waiting for Is finally here This could be our Moment in the sun Once chance to make it You only get one So we gotta take it Now everything we've been waiting for Is finally here This could be our year (SOLO) (CHORUS) This could be our Moment in the sun Once chance to make it You only get one So we gotta take it Now everything we've been praying for Is finally here This could be our year (SOLO)

It takes a lot to make me cry But I can't help myself tonight I play old messages to hear your voice It’s all I have, I got no choice Too tired to sleep too drunk to drive I can’t get you off my mind How did we let us get so far apart? It shouldn't be this hard (CHORUS) I don’t wanna stop the world from turning I’m not trying to make the sun stop burning Or turn water into wine Or count up every single star in the sky I just wanna be with you tonight Staring at another empty glass Anything to help the hours pass All this distance, man I hate it It shouldn’t be this complicated (CHORUS) I don’t wanna stop the world from turning I’m not trying to make the sun stop burning Or turn water into wine Or count up every single star in the sky I just wanna be with you tonight I need to feel your arms around me To hold you close Let your love surround me Look into your eyes and know that Everything is gonna be alright I just wanna be with you tonight (SOLO) (CHORUS) I don’t wanna stop the world from turning I’m just trying to keep this heart from hurting Not turnin’ water into wine Or counting every single star in the sky I just wanna be with you tonight

THANK YOU ANGELS She was running every red When the blue lights flashed and stopped her Screaming like she’s crazy My baby needs a doctor And I don’t know what else to do 30 seconds later They were flyin’ through the city streets Nurses on the phone traffic, Partin’ like the red sea They made it just in time She fell to her knees and cried (CHORUS) Thank you angels Thank you angels For the light for the love For the not giving up For the faith for the fight For just standing by my side For the hope and belief For the little things nobody see’s Thank you angels For watchin’ over me He was pickin’ up the pieces Of what was left of nothin’ Everything they worked for Destroyed in just a moment They never saw it comin’ But help flew in from nowhere Just like an answered prayer First it came from family Then it came from everywhere Small town’s stick together And angels don’t just live in heaven (REPEAT CHORUS) (SOLO) We don’t say it enough We get so caught up In ourselves So thank you angels Thank you angels Thank you angels (REPEAT CHORUS)

RED LIGHTS AND LAST NAMES I finished school a few years ago I should be doing something more than working at a servo People looking at me like I’m see through As I put another twenty on pump two Everybody’s going to the football game They’ll get drunk and then talk about the old days Telling tales like they’ve never been heard The older they get, the better they were Someway somehow I’ve gotta get out (CHORUS) Day after day, it’s always the same It’s so perfectly predictable I’ll take a ticket, to anywhere different Cause the only thing round here to change Is red lights and last names Monday morning it’ll start again With the same job, same time, finish five, start nine Everybody doing what they’re Dad did Living life like it’s a habit Someway somehow I’ve gotta get out (REPEAT CHORUS) (SOLO) (CHORUS) Day after day, it’s always the same So I’m breaking away Gonna make my escape I’m so ready to be reckless I got me a ticket Dam the consequences Cause I’m breaking the rules of this game Yeah nothing’s gonna ever be the same Cause the only thing round here to change Are red lights and last names Red lights and last names Gotta get out, Gotta get out, Gotta get out From these red lights and last names I’m breakin’, I’m breaking away

There's not a lot you can do about it I’ve tried everything I know All this fussin’ and fightin’ Wrongin’ and rightin’ Is kinda leavin’ me cold You try to ignore it Cos you're scared of the pain Ain’t no mystery That we're history Well now, what can I say? (CHORUS) Babe I’m leavin’, I don't feel it I can't do this anymore This love is just another near death experience That's tryin’ to drive me off the road So I’m steerin’, clear of You and your wicked ways You just leave me on empty these days Don't you be so sad about it You don't need me anyway You're the only one that you ever loved And your never gonna change (REPEAT CHORUS) Oh I’ve been sick of this And tired of that Now I’m finally walkin’ away Don't you try to stop me There's nothing left you can say (REPEAT CHORUS)

It never really ever goes away It just gets easier to cope some days Just when you think you’re doin’ fine It creeps back into your mind And here it comes again It never really ever goes away Just turns from blue to different shades of grey It’s a weight around your heart It finds you in the dark In every whisper of the wind (CHORUS) Oh heaven help me lord I pray Take me to a higher place Cos I don’t think I can go on Knowing that you’re gone It never really ever goes away I just pretend to friends that I’m okay Cos there’s nothing they can do To stop me from missing you No amount of time can erase (REPEAT CHORUS) It never really goes away I close my eyes and I see your face Heaven help me make it through One more day without you Cos it never really ever goes away It just gets easier to cope some days Just when you think you’re doin’ fine It sneaks back into your mind but it never goes away

Well I was 19 you were 21 The year we got engaged And everyone said we were much too young But we did it anyway We got the rings for 40 each From a pawn shop down the road We said our vows and took the leap Now 15 years ago (CHORUS) And we went dancin' in the mine fields We went sailin’ in the storms And it was harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for That's what the promise is for Well I do are the two most famous last words The beginning of the end But to lose your life to another I've heard Is a good place to begin Cos the only way to find your life Is to lay your own life down And I believe it's an easy price for the life That we have found (REPEAT CHORUS) So when I lose my way Find me And if I lose love's chains Bind me And at the end of all my faith Til the end of all my days When I forget my name Remind me (CHORUS) So let's go dancin’ in the minefields Let's go sailin’ in the storms Let's go dancin' in the minefields And kicking down the doors Yeah we're dancin’ in the minefields (Don't give up on us) This is harder than we dreamed But I believe that's what the promise is for I was 19 you were 21 The year we got engaged

I can feel your breath on my lips You’re holding my hand so tight We’ve never been closer than this Never been up so high Oh what a way To end a perfect day Tonight, tonight, tonight (CHORUS) It’s kinda feeling like We’re flyin’ through the clouds Round the moon Like a satellite So far removed From the room That it’s almost like Tonight the world is ours And we’re lookin’ down on the stars It’s the most beautiful view There’s not another soul insight Even in this crowded room We’re in our own universe Tonight, tonight, tonight (CHORUS 2) You got me feeling like We’re flyin’ through the clouds Round the moon Like a satellite So far removed From the room That it’s almost like Tonight the world is ours We’re lookin’ down on the stars And together we can see All the lights down below Like a million fireflies Burning out of control Staring at the sky And wishing they were us Lookin’ down on the stars (SOLO) (REPEAT CHORUS 2)

If he’da known what he was missin’ when he still had the chance He woulda wanted less and given more, and made every second last When he walked outside and felt that rain, he’da taken in its grace And counted blessings, instead of stressin’ ‘Bout work and running late And all that money to be made (CHORUS) Cos we’re all walking round in circles thinkin’ Life is just a prison But the only crime is we don’t love ourselves In trying so hard to be powerful We don’t see beautiful And everyday we’re missing miracles Missin’ miracles As she drove down the street she’d have noticed colours on the leaves And the way the sunlight lit them all on fire When that ambulance went flying past she’da said a silent prayer Instead of sippin’ coffee, talking hands free And staring in the mirror She never saw what’s really there (CHORUS 2) Cos we’re all walking round in circles thinkin’ Life is just a prison But the only crime is we don’t love ourselves In trying so hard to be beautiful We don’t see beautiful And everyday we’re missing miracles Missin’ miracles Missin' miracles Oh somewhere in the siren's scream She mistook the red for green And suddenly their worlds collide In slow motion their lives rewind Unravelling the mystery of it all Every second we're given Every breath we take in Is a miracle (REPEAT CHORUS 1) If he'da known what he was missin' when he still had the chance....

This summer I went swimming, This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around, I moved my arms around This summer I swam the ocean, And I swam in a swimming pool, I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes, I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir, to boot, In the latter I was informal, And in the former I wore my suit, yeah I wore my swimming suit. This summer I did the backstroke And you know that's not all I did the breast stroke and the butterfly And the old Australian crawl, yeah the old Australian crawl. This summer I did swan dives And duckdives for you all Once when you weren't looking I did a cannonball, yeah I did a cannonball. This summer I went swimming, This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath, kicked my feet And moved my arms around, I moved my arms around

Saw your picture on Facebook with her The future Mr. and Mrs. Fischer Look so happy I can hardly take it You’re gonna have it at our old church I bet Even though I know you haven’t set a date yet I checked my calendar and I can’t make it But… (CHORUS) Let me be the first to wish you the worst Hope the both of you never make it to happily ever after All the lies you told, I hope you get what you deserve Let me be the first to wish you the worst So she’s the one behind the midnight phone calls All the times you smelled like cheap perfume and alcohol Now I know what was going on behind my back (and I don’t like that) So when you finally say I do and kiss your new bride Wonder how long it’ll take before you realize I’m the last best thing you ever had (REPEAT CHORUS) Let me be the first to wish you the worst Hope the both of you never make it to happily ever after All the lies you told, I hope you get what you deserve Let me be the first to wish you the worst Guess this song’s my gift to you For all the hell you put me through Its least that I can do (REPEAT CHORUS)

It’s the sound of floor boards creakin’ It’s a tap that won’t stop leakin’ It’s the paint that keeps on peelin’ off the wall It’s a fence that still needs fixin’ It’s the cookin’ in the kitchen It’s a picture of grandpa before the war There’s no place like home (CHORUS) I’ve been hard up, face down Bright lights and big towns There’s no place like home I’ve been north, south, east, west All I can say is There’s no place like home It’s the singing Sunday morning It’s the friends that always call in It’s the country radio that plays our song It’s the dog with one leg missin’ It’s the river that we fish in It’s the kind of place you feel like you belong There’s no place like home (REPEAT CHORUS) (SOLO) (REPEAT CHORUS)

They told me you can’t understand Until you’re holding in your hand the Greatest joy that life could ever bring Little hands and little feet The purest heart that ever did beat and The bluest eyes that you have ever seen (CHORUS) Oh our love is bigger than the two of us Our love is more than just the sum of us It’s hard to believe only Yesterday it was just you and me Now one plus one equals three Everything they said was true It’s the wildest ride with the greatest view The missing piece that you’ve been waitin’ for The days are long and the nights are shattered But somehow none of that stuff matters Cos life is so much sweeter than before (REPEAT CHORUS) It’s hard to believe only Yesterday it was just you and me Now one plus one equals three Yeah one plus one equals three
