I go runnin’ around from town to town Singing songs about you And I can’t figure out how I could ever have a single doubt about Everything I knew to be true But I would get so upset, and go bouncin’ off the walls I placed my bets on ‘no regrets,’ and I let the cards fall Now I go runnin’ ‘round my head, wishin’ I could take back what I said ‘Cause I know I hurt you so And I can’t tell you how I allowed those words to come out of my mouth It wasn’t how I wanted things to go But I’d get scared, and forget I cared about you above all I wasn’t prepared for the love we shared, and I made it your call Chorus I’m a 20th century man, just trying to catch up I’m doing what I can, though I know it won’t be enough I know who I am, and what I need to do I’m a 20th century man, and it’s time I caught up to you I go runnin’ around from town to town Singing songs about you And I can’t figure out how I could ever have a single doubt about Everything I knew to be true But I’d get scared, and forget I cared about you above all I wasn’t prepared for the love we shared, and I made it your call (Chorus) (Chorus) (Chorus) (Chorus)

Chorus I’m an obsessive-compulsive manic-depressive with amazing self-awareness I’m an obsessive-compulsive manic-depressive with amazing self-awareness And it’s tough getting out of my head And it’s tough getting out my bed I lie here diagonally, with my head where yours used to be I lie here in agony, with no one to comfort me (Chorus) And it’s tough getting on with my day And it’s tough getting out of my way I sing about trying to change, while struggling to maintain I sing outside of my range, but I’ll never escape my brain Say, “I love you, Sonnybear,” or tell me that you don’t It’s a terrible scene floating between; it’s endless misery I need to hear you say you care; oh, but I know I won’t Say you love your Sonnybear, or please tell me that you don’t (Chorus) And one day my heart will attack me Yes, one day my broken heart will attack me And everything… will be fine

Come Home 04:19
Chorus I wish you would’ve come home I wish you would’ve come home I wish you would’ve come home so long ago I was so pissed at you for leaving But I knew we both needed some space I just figured, if I waited long enough You’d realize how much you missed my face But that wasn’t the case (Chorus) Now you’ve been gone so long I’m reeling And I know we both need to replace Everyday I say I’ve waited long enough But I didn’t realize how much I’d miss your face And I can’t believe I let you leave, no, I can’t believe I let you leave I can’t believe I let you leave like that I said I can’t believe I let you leave, no, I can’t believe I let you leave I can’t believe I let you leave like that, ‘cause you never came back (Chorus) I wish you would’ve come home so long ago…

Chorus She’s never going to love me again She’s never going to love me again She’s never going to love me again Or at least that’s what she says (Chorus) Over and over and over it seems And I don’t think I’ll ever get her out of my dreams ‘Cause I know in her heart our love still beams Now tell me how you think that this really means (Chorus) I didn’t expect to be here alone I’m really quite helpless on my own But I can’t get lost, if I don’t leave home Now tell me how think that it could really be known (Chorus) Over and over and over it seems And I don’t think I’ll ever get her out of my dreams ‘Cause I know in her heart our love still beams Now tell me how you think that this really means She’s never going to love me again She’s never going to love me again She’s never going to love me again Or at least that’s what she says over and over…

Eventually Inevitably I’ll come to you Ooh… Eventually And inevitably I’ll come to you, like I always do Chorus And I’ll be just two chords away, from saying what I need to say Yeah, I’ll be just two chords away, from saying what I need to say to you But you won’t let me through Ooh… I’ll come to you, like I always do Yeah, I’ll come to you, like I always do I’ll come to you, like I always do (Chorus) Eventually and inevitably Yeah, eventually and inevitably I’ll come to you, like I always do (Chorus) I’ll come to you, like I always do Yeah, I’ll come to you, like I always do But you won’t let me through
7.
Chorus I’m losing my mind about you, ooh… I’m losing my mind without you I sit and I read the words that you need Me to hear from you Our love may remain, but so does this pain And there’s nothing we can do (Chorus) Seeing me is killing you And I know that’s real Missing you is killing me, too But I’m just gonna have to learn how to deal (Chorus) Now you’re on a new track, you’re not looking back You’ve closed this door And from what I can tell you’re living quite well I’m sure better than before (Chorus)

You said right from the start I just had to be kind And I could have your heart Your body, soul, & mind But I let us down Time and time again And the love we had found Had to come to an end Chorus I think I waited too long To sing you this song And I know I was wrong To leave it so long (Chorus) (Chorus) (Chorus)

If I Ever 03:00
If I ever (if I ever) wanna feel any better I’m gonna have to let you go If I ever (if I ever) want us to be together I’m gonna have to let you go Chorus I said I love you so much, dear And I said I’m sorry so many times But I know what you really wanna hear Is me telling you ‘Goodbye’ If I ever (if I ever) wanna live down your letter I’m gonna have to let you go If I ever (if I ever) want to enjoy the weather I’m gonna have to let you go (Chorus) (Chorus) (If I ever) wanna feel any better (If I ever) want us to be together (If I ever) wanna live down your letter (If I ever) wanna enjoy the weather (I’m gonna have to let you go) I’m gonna have to let you go (Chorus) (Chorus) (Chorus)
