Got no time to sit around yawning,busy people busy lives. Go to work and make some money, just enough to pay most of my bills. Got to keep up with the runnin' , buy a house or maybe just get my thrills. Slow down and breathe You can't shake what you can't see Slow down and breathe Think about my girl and dream away the day. I get so tired of answering questions, I get em' down, I'm gettin' good. So what'd you do today? Well nothing, baby I slept it away. Tried to close my eyes again. Morning's gonna come again. She said baby why your eyes closed. I said honey you just caught me in a long long blink. Spent a night of just kissin'. Well the girls gonna save my life, she gonna save my life. Slow down and breathe You can't shake what you can't see Slow down and breathe Think about my girl and dream away the day. FORTY DOLLAR DRESS There I was next to you and you wanted it that way You said don't leave me love It was the hardest thing to stay Cause my heart was the breakin' kind You took my love like a thief Then you put your arms around me And whispered so sweet You may not love me honey But what a beautiful mess How I ended up with you And this forty dollar dress It's alright, don't you cry If I walk out that door Cause I've been heart broken By a pretty girl before But I must have been dreamin' When I looked in your eyes The stars above they lined up For me and you tonight You may not love me honey But what a beautiful mess How I ended up with you And this forty dollar dress Rescue me, I'm a whole lot like you It's alright, babe it's just me and you It ain't like we got anywhere to go anyway MIX TAPE BLUES I thought I knew a lot about love but it let me down again. I thought love was a little stronger, does a heartache ever mend? I thought love was a little softer up until the night I lost her. Love goes on long after the end. You're my angel, you're my little wing. Make me feel ten feet tall, like Tupelo honey, my sweetest thing. You're my Allison, you've got roses in your hair. You're my Josephine, and you're my love song. Well I turn the station to get away from the same old song I hear. Every DJ, every mix tape, every burned cd is a track I've made with tears. I like my chances if I change my ways. I'd like to leave behind the month of May. Love goes on long after the end. SAY GOODNITE took the green light and got out slow now i'm running in the fight of my life. cant see from the shape i'm in i just hang on for the ride. all i want is to just be fine and to say goodnite my love... say goodnite as i lay next to you. say goodnite as i lay next to you. spent a year tried to figure out what to do what to think and say. searched for grace but i found you first now the whole damn sky it aint so grey. i been around enough to know that i dont know everything... but i say goodnite as i lay next to you. say goodnite as i lay next to you. everyone needs a sweetheart. and i know you need one too. and if you answer my prayers, keep me around, don't let me down. no no no there are things that you cany deny like a crush or a beautiful day. just remember to let it go cause the grass ain't greener or so they say. and though i thought of checking out i throw caution...to the wind... and i say goodnite as i lay next to you. i say goodnite as i lay next to you.
