Defying Gravity lyrics

Another long summer's come and gone
I don't know why it always ends this way
The boardwalk's quiet
And the carnival rides
Are as empty as my broken heart tonight.

But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand,

Well if you ever said goodbye
I wouldn't waste all of my time cryin'
I wouldn't sit home alone wondering where I went wrong
I'd be rockin' on out of here
Baby, faster than a rolling tear
Ain't no grass gonna grow under me when you're gone
No, I won't stay down for long

I'd hit the ground
I'd hit the ground runnin'
I know exactly what I'd do, honey
I'd hit the ground

Love doesn't come with a contract

You give me this I gave you that

It's scary business

Your heart and soul is on the line

Baby why else would I be standing round here so tongue-tied

Chorus:

If I knew what I was doing I'd be doing it right now

I would be the best damn poet

silver words out of my mouth

Well my words might not be magic

I used to cry in the middle of the night
Baby hold me tight
There was nobody beside me when I opened my eyes
Now Iâve turned the color of those days and nights
Now somethings inside me changed and I think I might be starting over
I donât wanna run
Oh no, cause you might be the one, baby

If ever I could love, I think it could be with you

Verse 1:
To to kiss and tell itâs just not my style
But the night is young and itâs been a while
And she broke my heart broke it right in two
And it took some time but Iâm feeling like
Iâm finally ready to find
Find somebody new

I wanna kiss a girl I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a lil magic in the moonlight
Donât wanna go to far just to take it slow

I thought I was doing all right being alone
I swore Iâd never let somebody get close again
I was never gonna let my guard down
Not for anyone
But thereâs a light in your eyes and itâs got me movingâ in
And tonight these walls are all coming down

And my heart is open
Iâm letting you in

Well, I know thereâs a reason
And I know thereâs a rhyme
We were meant to be together
Thatâs why
We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say itâs forever
You understand

That youâre always in my heart
Youâre always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
Youâre never far behind

Out on the street corner
Just like every morning I sit here
And I watch you walk my way
And even though I donât know you
As you get closer I swear I feel
My heart start racing, aching
Maybe itâs in my mind
And maybe Iâm only dreaming
And I swear you catch my eye
As you walk on by
Oh why you gotta leave me so blue

Baby why canât you see

Verse 1:

When I picked you up for out first date baby,
With your pretty blue eyes,
That were driven' my crazy,
And that tiny little thought,
That was so amazing,
As they were looking at me,
I held open the car for you,
Then you climbed inside and slid on over,
To the other side,
I thought my, oh my,

Chorus:

Sweet Thing,
The moon is high,
And the night is young,

There were nights where I was sure
I wouldn't see the morning sun
And there were days that seemed so dark
I couldn't wait for night to come
I couldn't stand to think about how
My life used to be
And how without a single warning
It all slipped away from me
Like a fool I thought I could fight
The shadows on my own
To the dark I was no stranger
But this was stronger than I'd known

I just kissed you goodbye a half an hour ago
I know youâre driving to the airport but
I just gotta pick up the phone and hear you one more time
Saying my name I must be going outta my mind

â Chorus â
Whyâs it feel so long since you been gone
Whyâs it feel so long
Time keeps dragging on âtil you get back home
Whyâs it feel so long baby now
