In the Life of Chris Gaines lyrics

Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations
Flyin' above the rest, never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went and I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best
I could live alone, I guess

Maybe I could stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe she'll fly on home

Excuse me if I'm keeping you apart from better conversation

It don't matter to the sun
If you go or if you stay
I know the sun is gonna rise
Shine down on another day
There will still be a tomorrow
Even if you choose to leave
'Cause it don't matter to the sun (oh baby)
It matters to me

It ain't gonna stop the world
If you walk out that door
This old world will just keep on turning 'round (Turning 'round)
Like it did the day before

One light blinking off and on
Blood of life in this town is gone
Lost all its pieces but the pawn
Tomorrow stopped coming with the dawn

In my dreams, I've seen
Things that only seem to happen on the silver screen
When it's over there's no walking out
Cuz I've been all they talk about
Cuz what ain't goin' down
On Main Street

I went too early with a friend of mine

They married on a fancy yacht out on the water
He knew she was young enough to be his daughter
There always questions in the heart of millionaires
Would she make heartfelt promises if the money was not there

And he said, do you love me, baby, do you want me to hold
Or are you just digging for gold
Do you care enough to give me your heart and soul
Or are you just digging for gold

You don't have to cry when I say good-bye, good-bye
You know I'll be coming back real soon
And when I do, you know
It will be such a sweet hello

Rising like the sun above the sky line, sky line
Love is brighter than ever before
And that should be understood
When is said I do you knew I would

Some things can be good forever
My love tells me so

She got an unsigned letter from her secret someone
And she fell into the mystery
Words were few and specifically vague
Intrinsic intrigue
But it said everything
When it just read come to me

She's always been that responsible someone
Safe within her simplicity
But all this cloak and dagger is stoking her heart
Stroking her curiosity
Is plain little Jane
Gonna risk everything

Maybe it's the movies, maybe it's the books
Maybe it's the government and all the other crooks
Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's the parents
Maybe it's the gangs, or the colors that we're wearin'
Maybe it's the high schools, maybe it's the teachers
Tattoos, pipe bombs underneath the bleachers
Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the crack
Maybe it's the bible, or could it be the lack

I say black, you say white
I say day, you call it a night
What's wrong with this scene
What does this mean

You set me up, shoot me down
I'm wounded on this battleground
It's time, for sure, for ending this war
Cuz my heart can't take anymore

Sendin' up, sendin' up, sendin' up a white flag
Love won't have a chance if all we do is just fight about it

It's only natural with time
Details can somehow slip your mind
Something so sweet, though incomplete
You fill the spaces in-between

It never will be that way again
Maybe it wasn't way back when
But to my heart and soul
This is the way the story has to be told

That's the way (that's the way) I remember it
I remember it that way
From the day I was living there
I remember it that way

Love was burning like the summer
We were lost in one another
Holding on, holding on
We could not escape the heat
Love was dangerous but sweet
And it was strong

Now you're talking 'bout your freedom
What is that you say
You suddenly declared to me
Your independence day

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well it ain't even cold, baby,
How could it snow in July

The very air that surrounds her
A breath you can't live without
Can't think straight since you found her
What's this creature about

You persue her in mazes
Always one step behind
You'd change the world for her graces
But she keeps changing her mind

It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl
It's just the way of the girl, just the way of the girl

Some made it for money

There's no more waiting
Holding out for love
You are my Godsend
That I have been forever dreaming of
My angel from above

Heaven knows
I'm head over heels and it shows
I've played every field I suppose
But there's something about you
When you're around
Baby I have found
I get lost in you

What is this feeling
I've never known before
That I should touch you

With all of my heart, I know I could love you
But, with all of my soul, I'm driftin away
With all of my mind, I know you could save me from myself
And anything else,
With all of my strength, I wanna reach out for you
With every breath, I call out your name
With every step, I just wanna turn around and say
Baby make it okay

But I'm so afraid
that you've forgiven me one too many times
