Under Summer Sun
2008
-
Windows down, the night blows in
Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin
Until we’re there crank the radio
We’ll join in with the songs we know
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight
Smiles light up as we walk in
Old conversations begin again
Nostalgia’s thick as the August air
It takes us back to the time when we didn’t care- no we didn’t care
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight
Oooh Everything’s Right
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight
Hey, Everything’s Right
Sing Everything’s Right tonight

I could talk until my face turns blue
Goin' on bout what I wanna do with you
I'm just so tired of being alone, yeah baby
So what you say we just get out of here?
Hop into my car and disappear
I know, you know what's going on
What's going on?
I can't help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
Its just the way I feel
What would happen if I came real clean?
When every girl before has fled the scene
I guess we'll wait and see
They say this happens nearly every day
But not to me, and that is why I want to say
I can't help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
Its just the way I feel
No I cannot help the way
Cannot help the way
The way I feel
I can't help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
Its just the way I feel
I can't help the way I feel about you now
When everything inside of me is singing out
Its just the way I feel

I'd be lying through my teeth if I told you that I'm ok
July came, I thought I had it all together
Until you said
I need some space
Truth be told
It's so hard to wait
One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go.
We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I'm spinning around
You said, "baby, don't worry"
But I just miss you right now
I said, I miss you right now
Baby, take all the time you need
Cuz I just want you to know
I’ll be here… waiting

Keep distracting me with that beauty
Leaving me wanting more
Reminding me of my duty
To lock these eyes to Yours
And I’ve never known a love so true
I want to see all of You
When green meets red and red meets blue
I want to see all of You
Sunlight dances with the distance
In her squinty eyed shoes
And i’m chasing down horizon
In hopes of being danced with too
And I’ve never known a love so true
I want to see all of You
When green meets red and red meets blue
I want to see all of You
Daylight sings all that morning air brings
And i’m lost, i’m lost, i’m lost inside you, inside you
And I’ve never known a love so true
I want to see all of You
When green meets red and red meets blue
I want to see all of You

Tennessee, January
Everything, ordinary
You're unlike anything I've seen
Is this how I really feel?
Or just another heart to steal
To fuel the song that's underneath?
Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me
I pass another day wasting
Thoughts on what's ahead asking
What if, and why not, and who's to say?
When all I really know of you
Is you're just as lonely too
'Cause desperate hearts are hearts that need someone
Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me
I'm careless sometimes
And I'm sure that you'll find
That's now how
I want to live my life
I wanna to be sure
But don't know how to
How hard I try
Carolina, you will have to forgive me
Carolina, this is just my tendency
Forgive me

I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
While the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there's no yield for what you've sown
I will not leave you all alone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need

Everybody hurts
Everybody’s broken
But ya gotta know
If you ever need me
I will be waiting
Even when your hope is gone
Even when your barely holding on
If there's anything that I'm sure of
I know that we were made for love
So if you start to break
Keep faith
When the days drag on,
And you're barely breathing
Searching for a light
You've had all along - trust me, I’ve seen it
And if I could, I’d make you believe it
Even when your hope is gone
Even when your barely holding on
If there's anything that I'm sure of
I know that we were made for love
So if you start to break
Keep faith
Just let yourself go
Even when your hope is gone
Even when your barely holding on
If there's anything that I'm sure of
I know that we were made for love
So if you start to break
Keep faith

California’s come and gone
And now I’ve got my mind back on
The open air and you on Highway 1
And baby every since that day
Been trying to get back to that place
Where everything was right under the sun.
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting
Saturday took you away
Sunday Morning brought the rain
Now cloudy skies are covering the blue
Why’d you have to disappear?
It’s not the same without you here
When everything’s reminding me of you
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting
To see you again
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting
To see you again
Would you come back?
Won’t you come back?
‘Cuz I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Would you come back?
Won’t you come back?
‘Cuz I’m waiting, I’m waiting to see you again
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, I’m waiting
To see you again, To see you again
I’m waiting, I’m waiting
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne

I’m waiting
All of my life been waiting
To get it right but that still seems like its so far away
And I’m taking
All the advice I’m given
Trying to find out how a kid like me becomes a man
And I guess I’m just scared
I’m the only one here
Growing old
Growing old but not quite growing up
And maybe
If I had a somebody, maybe
She would stand by me and somehow then I’d act more like my age
But until then
I’ll be the one pretending
With all this living life on my own
Because I guess I’m just scared
I’m the only one here
Growing old
Growing old but not quite growing up

Saturday, 600 miles
Lie between, the two of us
And telephones, they can't replace
Me with you, face to face.
You gotta tell me its true
That you feel the same
I'm so much better when
I say you're name
Let me be with you, tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight
When Streetlights kissed, upon your lips
My jealous eyes, saw all of it
Losing sleep, we learned to be
Me with you, you with me

Remember the long days singing through palm leaves?
Remember the ocean air?
Wearing our brown skin, sprinkled with sea breeze
Wind blowing through your August hair
Summer sun
Nothing but time to waste
We were young
Both of us taking our chance on love
Under the sun
Summer sun
You held you tightly; I kissed me softly-
Sweeter than lemonade
Burning the hours learning each other
Suddenly finding how to be
Summer sun
Nothing but time to waste
We were young
Both of us taking our chance on love
Under the sun
Summer sun
And when day faded into starlight
You and the moon at midnight
Nowhere I’d rather be
Summer sun
Nothing but time to waste
We were young
Both of us taking our chance on love
Under the sun
Under the sun
Summer sun
Nothing but time to waste
We were young
Both of us taking our chance on love
Under the sun
Summer sun

Back in June,
When we were so young
It was gone too soon, before our love was done
We had our chance to make it happen
We had our chance at love, somehow
It could’ve been so picture perfect,
It’s too late to have that now
Back in June,
Convinced you were the one
We claimed our moon, while we waited for the sun
Picking names out for our children-
I wanted daughters, you wanted sons
Whispers under constellations,
With Orion looking on
And I guess we just wanted different things
Chasing different dreams
And love must have a way of taking what it brings
At least that’s what it seems…
Back in June,
If I knew all this would happen.
I’d still choose you, I wouldn’t trade our love, our passion
And I can’t change the ending,
And I don’t want to change your mind
I’ve learned lessons in the mending,
and I’ve made it through just fine
