I hope home finds you well while you're looking
I hope love finds you well while you're waiting for me
I'm sorry that I can't be your dream
I'm sorry if you think much less of me.
I know I told you, dear, that I was smitten
As you lay and watch the sunrise from my arms
You should know I meant it when I said it
But I don't know if I can come back from this.
If you have to go, then don't leave
Saying "god damn, that guy's a creep"
Even though I don't deserve much more than that.
If you have to know, when I leave,
I won't say "it's not you it's me"
Even though you don't deserve much more than that.
It's easier to sleep than be let down
I said to you the night that I checked out
You should know I believed you when you said
"A kiss is just a kiss."
If you have to know, when I leave,
I won't say "it's not you it's me"
Even though you don't deserve much more than that.
If you have to go, then don't leave
Saying "god damn, that guy's a creep"
Even though I don't deserve much more than that.

Don't let this be all you've got
Don't let this be it.
When you're all alone in a room of friends
Don't think you deserve it.
Don't let it get to your head
When everybody's gone,
Don't let it get to your head.
Don't let it get to your head
When everybody leaves,
Don't let it get to your head.
Calm your mind and say the things
You know you're meant to say.
When you think of the end, don't be afraid
You've been alright these days.
And most of all, don't let it get to your head
When everybody's gone,
Don't let it get to your head.
Don't let it get to your head
When everybody leaves,
Don't let it get to your head.

Girl of my dreams, you came into my life one night
and now I'll never forget you.
You were there with your friends and your long black hair
I wish I could remember.
We talked bands and discovered that we loved the same
I asked you casually if you like Justin Timberlake
You said "hell yeah!" and I knew you were the one for me.
Girl of my dreams, I don't know a thing about you
Girl of my dreams, I'll never know
Girl of my dreams, I don't know a thing about you
Girl of my dreams, why'd you have to go?
Meet you at the hospital where you work the late night shift.
You'll get off early, and we'll go dancing.
As we're dancing, it'll rain; I'll lean in real close and say
"Will you be my steady?"
One month later and we're at your father's fencing match
You tell me that you fence, too.
All of a sudden, there's a buzzing and I'm waking up
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Girl of my dreams, I don't know a thing about you
Girl of my dreams, I'll never know
Girl of my dreams, I don't know a thing about you
Girl of my dreams, why'd you have to go?

I feel like there's a song in here somewhere
about growing up and doing good.
I'm not doing well lately, and that's my own damn fault,
I don't know how to grow up or do good.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
I wanna be the most positive guy you know,
but I hear that other guy in my head saying "no, no."
If I could shut him up and let the me that I wanna be stay out,
That'd be nice. So nice.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
I feel like I could make it if I tried,
so why don't I give these songs a chance to shine?
This must be what they talk about when they say to take a risk.
It's so hard to take a shot when you're not sure that you'll hit.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
How can I pay the bills if I'm working every day?
A buck is too much to hear what my heart has to say.
I'll keep writing it down, and one day I'll be able to say to you
"I've done everything I've ever wanted to."
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then you'd stay.
If I could, maybe then she'd stay.

Jamie Bell recommends:
This album says more with the space between notes than most albums do in their entire lyrics sheet. One of my favourite albums of all time, hands down. Listen to it!

i clung to you hoping we'd both drown
by flatsound
This album connects me to everything I ought to be connected to, and lets me soak in it. It makes me feel something I've only felt a few times in my life, and it does so consistently! Thanks Mitch!

Grandfather
by Tigers On Trains
Painfully earnest hooks that will pull you out of yourself. An album that is way better than it has any business being. I've been listening to these guys since 2007, and everything they do is magic!
